Lin Yuan's lips curled into a faint smile.
"It doesn't matter, I'll be satisfied with just a reasonable explanation."
Upon hearing this, the manager nodded in agreement like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Of course, of course! I have instructed the HR department to immediately investigate the matter of those two employees and to punish them severely as a warning to others. Mr. Lin, please rest assured, Patek Philippe has always treated every distinguished customer as an honored guest."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly to show that he accepted the manager's apology.
Then, he turned gently to Xia Qingxue.
"Sister Xue, is there a style you like that you'd like to take a closer look at?"
She quickly shook her head: "I...I'll just take a look."
Upon seeing this, the manager quickly stepped forward to introduce the situation.
"Mr. Lin, Ms. Lin, Patek Philippe is one of the world's most prestigious watch brands, with a history dating back to 1839. Every watch is handcrafted by Switzerland's top artisans, and its craftsmanship and quality are impeccable..."
Lin Yuan's lips curled slightly, and a hint of interest gleamed in his eyes.
"Oh? Then please trouble the manager to introduce us to some of your store's treasures."
Upon hearing this, the manager immediately nodded and bowed, leading Lin Yuan and Xia Qingxue to the glass display case at the deepest part of the shop.
There, several limited-edition Patek Philippe watches were displayed like precious jewels, each exuding an indescribable and unique charm.
Lin Yuan stood in front of the display case, his eyelids slowly lowered, his gaze revealing a delicate and profound appreciation.
"Mr. Lin, this is our limited edition 'Starry Sky Series,' with only 100 pieces released worldwide. It features a sapphire crystal dial set with 12 top-quality diamonds, and the strap is hand-stitched alligator leather..."
The manager gave a detailed introduction, his tone full of pride.
Lin Yuan simply smiled faintly: "Hmm, not bad, but I prefer this 'Eternal Series'. Its design is simple yet elegant, which suits my aesthetic perfectly."
The manager nodded quickly: "Mr. Lin has excellent taste. This 'Timeless Series' is a classic piece from Patek Philippe. Its design is inspired by the eternity of time, symbolizing prestige and heritage..."
Xia Qingxue saw Lin Yuan chatting enthusiastically with the shop assistant and felt embarrassed to interrupt.
She watched Lin Yuan standing in the luxury store, the sunlight shining on his cold and handsome face, making him appear exceptionally dazzling.
He wore a simple black suit, but his posture was ramrod straight, exuding an innate aura.
Lin Yuan glanced at the watches and gave a smug smile: "Limited edition? I've seen plenty of limited editions, I've even had several limited edition girlfriends."
The saleswoman blushed at his joke, but still professionally introduced the watch: "Sir, this Nautilus watch is a limited edition worldwide, worth 1.49 million RMB, and is our store's prized possession."
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, his eyes lighting up: "Wow, 1.49 million? That price makes my mouth water."
He strode to the counter, picked up the watch, examined it against the light, and exclaimed, "The luster of this dial, the craftsmanship, wow, really impressive."
He turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Xia Qingxue who was standing quietly to the side, a playful smile curving his lips.
"Sister Xue, if this watch were to grace your wrist, it would surely enhance your extraordinary charisma and elevate you to a whole new level."
Xia Qingxue stood there quietly, her simple yet elegant dress swaying gently.
The mature aura she exuded contrasted sharply with the dazzling, luxurious atmosphere around her.
She lowered her eyes slightly, glancing at the wristwatch in Lin Yuan's hand, a hint of refusal flashing in her eyes.
“Brother Yuan, this gift is too precious. I’m afraid I might be careless and fail to appreciate its beauty. What if something goes wrong…”
Lin Yuan interrupted her directly, shoving the watch into her hand: "What are you afraid of? If you break it, I'll buy you another one! If you're this careful every day, you might as well wear this watch on your ankle instead of your wrist."
He patted Xia Qingxue's shoulder affectionately.
"Just wear it boldly. If anyone asks, just say it was a gift from your boyfriend."
Xia Qingxue's face flushed instantly, and a rare shyness flashed in her eyes.
"Master, you...you really shouldn't talk nonsense in public."
Lin Yuan burst into laughter, his voice echoing throughout the shop.
"What are you afraid of? I can afford everything in this store! If you don't like it, I'll take you to another store tomorrow until you're satisfied."
Xia Qingxue shook her head helplessly, but a smile still crept onto her lips.
She bent down to put on the watch, then waved it in front of Lin Yuan: "How is it? Does it look good?"
Lin Yuan looked her up and down.
"You look good, but your demeanor needs some improvement. How about this, I'll buy you a whole set of designer clothes, and you'll go from being a villa butler to a wealthy man's mistress."
Xia Qingxue rolled her eyes at him, saying, "All you ever think about is spending money."
Lin Yuan replied earnestly, "Of course! In my life, the one thing I've never lacked is money. If I can't even bear to spend this little bit of money, then what am I even doing here?"
Xia Qingxue couldn't help but laugh, and the surrounding shop assistants were also infected by Lin Yuan's generosity and humor, all showing envious eyes.
Lin Yuan's gaze swept lightly over the watch on Xia Qingxue's slender wrist, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"This watch suits your wrist perfectly, adding a touch of elegance. From now on, let it always be with you. If anything happens to it, I'll just buy you another one."
Xia Qingxue looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with a gentle and slightly grateful light.
"Brother Yuan, you've been so good to me..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled casually, waved his hand dismissively, and said, "Don't take it to heart. I just believe that those who follow me deserve the best of everything. If you don't even have that much confidence, how can you work with me?"
