Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Spending Money Chapter 103
Chanel's autumn and winter haute couture this season is the last series designed by the brand's creative director.
The series as a whole still uses the classic black and white color scheme, but this time it uses a lot of beige and white tweed, as well as many fluffy feathers, making it look warm and smart.
Liu Yue came to the haute couture studio and was choosing the clothes she wanted to buy.
She really likes a high-end short belly-baring top with a tulle shawl. This dress is particularly beautiful when it is shown, and it is very fairy-like.
Liu Yue certainly knew that even though the winter in Guangdong was short and the temperature would not drop below zero degrees, such belly-baring winter clothes were still too cold.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she wants, as long as she doesn't run around outside, she doesn't need to go out and face the cold wind in winter.
Of course, she also picked out a skirt suitable for going out.
This dress has a simple silhouette, yet looks incredibly sophisticated. The black tweed gives it a sophisticated feel, while the silver threads blended into it shimmer dazzlingly from every angle.
Now Liu Yue was watching a static scene. She shook the hem of the skirt manually, and the shiny area of the skirt really changed its position, reminding her of how it swayed and shone on the runway.
As expected, you still have to see the real thing in motion. Liu Yue had seen the album of this skirt before, but didn't choose it. This time she fell in love with it in person.
She has a good eye and took away two sets of Chanel haute couture at once, both worth millions.
After converting euros into RMB, the black dress costs about 1.5 million yuan, and the price is entirely due to the fabric and workmanship.
The cropped top and pants aren't sold separately; the tulle cape is also a set, and the embroidery is a true Chanel extravaganza. While not as elaborate, this set still sold for around 1.2 million yuan.
After spending the 2.7 million, these two sets of clothes will be designed exclusively for her.
Chanel clothes are not exclusive to any region; there is only one piece in the world. Once Liu Yue buys it, no one else can. Even if the brand wants to lend the sample to other celebrities in the future, it still needs to seek her permission.
In fact, Liu Yue doesn't care much about the different styles or whether there are restrictions on quantity. She doesn't think there is anything special about haute couture. Isn't it just more expensive clothes?
What she was thinking was that she just hoped no one would wear the same clothes as her, since it wasn't hers.
However, since the brand is willing to respect her, she will definitely not refuse.
Many details of the costumes could be modified based on her opinions. Liu Yue thought about it and didn't ask for any changes for the time being.
She was just thinking that she had already spent five million today and would have to spend another five million.
Liu Yue had originally prepared that if Armani's haute couture didn't make her spend enough money, she would immediately go to the Champs-Elysées to buy luxury goods. Unexpectedly, she was even more attracted by the actual clothes from this store.
Damn, I didn't realize how good it was when I looked at the album! Why do luxury brands always use reverse photography to deceive people when selling clothes?
This velvet, which has a light-absorbing effect and looks deep and elegant, and the black fabric with a metallic luster and a patent leather effect, look ordinary in the photo, and their beauty can only be fully felt with the naked eye.
The theme of this season is black. So many black skirts put together do not look dull, but rather lively.
Liu Yue used to like A-line and straight skirts, and was not interested in slim-fitting skirts. But facts have proved that there must be a reason for the enduring popularity of this style. She just had never come across clothes that could make her heart flutter before.
Look at this perfect dress in front of you. The neckline of its upper body is made of textured dark black velvet, and I don’t know what material is used for the entire skirt.
Liu Yue suspected it was black denim, but it didn't feel like it. The outer layer looked very sturdy, the lining very soft, and there were little stars on the skirt, which looked like a galaxy with shining stars.
Slim-fitting skirts always have a sexy feel that highlights the figure. The sophisticated texture of the fabric dilutes its charm and adds a touch of unwavering strength and everydayness.
And this look also comes with a fan!
It is not a round fan or a folding fan, but a semi-circular, particularly large fan.
The handle of this fan is very long and the fan blade is also very large. When Liu Yue holds it in her hand, it can cover half of her face.
Theoretically, it's impossible to completely hide her because the fan is made of translucent black fabric, so at best your vision is restricted, but it's so cool!
Liu Yue imagined the scene of her holding the fan and created a villain drama in her mind.
That’s right, the villainous girl does need to wear slim-fitting clothes. Regular skirts make her look too well-behaved and cute, and will dilute her aura of being the mastermind behind the scenes!
Liu Yue, who was suffering from a severe case of the second-year syndrome, ordered this dress, but this time she requested some changes.
The skirt should be shortened according to her figure, so that it doesn't drag on the ground, but just covers the feet; the deep V-neck of the upper body should be sewn up to eliminate the risk of exposure at this angle.
She picked out six black dresses from Armani, including tube-top, suspender, and cake skirts... She bought a lot of them in one go.
In fact, she has quite a few little black dresses in her wardrobe, but compared to Dior, which focuses on minimalist style, Armani's haute couture this season wants to play with different colors of black.
This brand's clothing is exclusive by region, with China being considered a separate region. The six dresses Liu Yue bought will no longer be available to other Chinese customers.
At the same level, if a celebrity wants to borrow a sample of clothing, he or she must seek Liu Yue's opinion. This rule is common among more sophisticated brands.
After spending all the money, Liu Yue felt relieved.
The brand still needs some time to make a white blank for her. Others have to wait for one or two months, so her order is naturally expedited, and she tries to get it done before she leaves Paris.
When she walked out of Armani's haute couture studio, she suddenly remembered that when she first linked the system, she spent more than 800,000 yuan at Chanel in one go.
At that time, she would still think that this was a huge sum of money, and she reshaped her views on money and consumption.
She was no longer in a state of excitement when it came to buying clothes. Eight hundred thousand yuan could buy a lot of ready-to-wear clothes, but it probably wouldn't even be enough for a top-notch couture outfit.
Her life has really changed dramatically, Liu Yue sighed.
But this feeling did not last long, and she had to go back to the hotel to rest.
Watching shows and shopping are very energy-consuming, and she doesn't want to be caught socializing.
It is always troublesome to refuse in person. It is more comfortable to lie in bed and let your assistant politely decline various invitations.
She spent a few days in Paris, and before boarding her flight, she filled her Taobao shopping cart with items.
After all, in Africa, in a hotel with all-inclusive meals and accommodation and additional services included in the room rate, she couldn't find anywhere to spend money, and tips there were given in cash.
The Serengeti grasslands are located in the East Third District. After arriving there, the deadline for her to complete her tasks every day became 5 pm.
Liu Yue changed the reminder time on her mobile phone and boarded the plane to Tanzania with great anticipation.
This time it’s not a chartered flight, it’s her own plane!
She stepped off the shuttle bus and onto the stairs extending from the plane. The captain and crew greeted her, and two flight attendants led her forward for a tour.
The area on the left side of the plane was the kitchen, and He Xi assigned her a temporary chef. The shower room and toilet were also in this area.
To the right is the conference area, which has spacious sofa seats and independent chairs that can be adjusted in the front, back, left and right directions, and the backrests can be adjusted to 180 degrees.
Going further, there is a large-screen audio-visual room, and at the innermost part is a bedroom with an independent sliding door, which can effectively isolate the noise at night and ensure her sleep quality.
There is also a shower room and toilet in the bedroom, which greatly facilitates Liu Yue.
During takeoff, for safety reasons, she had to sit in the conference area with her seat belt fastened; once the plane entered a gentle flight, she could go to the bedroom and lie down.
Liu Yue changed into pajamas in the room and quickly jumped onto the bed.
So comfortable... She loves this soft touch the most, and it is her standard sleeping surface wherever she goes.
Liu Yue tossed and turned in the big bed with satisfaction. Private jets were still the best. The bedroom designed by He Xi's mother was very spacious, and there was such a big bed inside. If it were a business jet, she would be afraid of falling off even if she turned over.
There is only a one-hour time difference between France and Tanzania. She will take off in the evening and arrive tomorrow morning.
This wasn't her first time flying at night, but it was her first time feeling so comfortable and at home. Even at high altitude, her krypton gold could still guarantee her quality of life.
How can you feel tired when flying? It’s obviously very comfortable!
She took a picture of the night view outside the window. In fact, there were no lights outside, only clouds whose shapes were unclear, but she still posted this photo on her Moments as a souvenir.
Liu Yue also opened Xiaohongshu. After the "qiang" incident, her number of fans increased rapidly recently. Many people asked her in the private message column whether she would accept advertisements or sign contracts, which could help her continue to attract traffic and monetize the traffic.
Liu Yue didn't reply to any of these messages. She had already heard from Lin Feiran how tiring it was to be a blogger. To turn a random burst of traffic into long-term traffic, one needed to build an account persona and continuously operate vertically... She didn't have the time or patience for that.
As for the advertising income, she is even more disdainful. She is not idle every day, she is also busy spending money!
The Internet is updating and iterating at a very fast pace, and now few people remember her and "Qiang" anymore.
Liu Yue's private message section finally cleared up, and the comment section changed from a series of "check-ins" to relatively meaningful interactions. Liu Yue was interested in replying to these comments and exchanging a few words with the other party.
Just because she doesn't want to deliberately become an internet celebrity doesn't mean she is unwilling to share her daily life on social platforms. She feels very happy when her life is liked and envied by other netizens.
After waking up, Liu Yue had a sumptuous meal on the plane, which was as delicious as the breakfast in the hotel, and it was almost time to land.
During the descent, Sang Yu reminded her to look out the window.
It is said that the equator cannot melt the snow on Mount Kilimanjaro. When Liu Yue saw the picture before, she thought the snow-capped mountain was covered with white snow.
I only realized today that the snow line on the mountain is not flat. It is like tassels, randomly distributed on the top of the mountain.
“So beautiful…”
Liu Yue sighed, taking a photo to document the situation. Her praise was enough to make the captain's chosen landing route worthwhile.
Her private plane is parked at Kilimanjaro Airport. Although this airport is small, many wealthy people love to come to Africa and they have rich hosting experience.
After getting off the big plane, Liu Yue passed the customs inspection and got on the small plane again.
The plane was arranged by Singita to pick her up and take her and her entourage to their own airport.
The plane was really small, with a very compact seating arrangement, and could only accommodate eight people. But there was no other way, as the airport in the resort was relatively small and could only accommodate this type of aircraft. Otherwise, she could have just let the private plane land there, saving her the hassle of going back and forth.
The small plane felt particularly bumpy when taking off. Liu Yue subconsciously grabbed the handrail and was a little nervous.
She has ridden in helicopters, civilian airliners, and business charter jets, and today she has unlocked a new type of aircraft to experience... Will she have the chance to ride on a spaceship in her lifetime?
Liu Yue felt that with the current rate of technological development, it might not be impossible before she closed her eyes. If space travel were possible, she would definitely be willing to try it.
She was thinking freely all the way, and sitting on this stuffy little plane didn't seem so bad anymore.
Small planes also have their advantages. At least the flying altitude is not that high, so you can see the plants on the ground clearly.
They had already entered the Serengeti grasslands and saw zebras along the way. Liu Yue felt that they must have seen other animals as well, but to human vision, zebras were the most obvious.
The turbulence during the flight gave Liu Yue a sense of intimidation. The guide received them warmly, and the windowless off-road vehicle opened Liu Yue's eyes.
The car really didn't have any windows or any protection, just a blackout canopy above the head. All the off-road vehicles at the Singita Resort were of this style, and she would take this vehicle to the hotel, from where she would begin her Serengeti safari trip.
Liu Yue was a little bit unconvinced and asked again: "Are you sure we're going to take this car? Will we take this car when we go out to see animals next time?"
"Yes, this car has a good view and is very comfortable to sit in."
The point of the problem doesn’t seem to be whether it’s comfortable or not… The important thing is that it doesn’t have any protection!
Liu Yue felt that she loved pursuing excitement, but this car was indeed a bit too exciting.
She had also taken a similar sightseeing train in Chimelong, but she was definitely not afraid in the zoo. Moreover, the areas where wild animals such as lions and tigers lived were either covered by protective nets or separated by deep ravines. This was the African savannah!
Even if this is a private reserve, the lions and leopards there are free to move around and hunt freely. Is it really okay to drive this car there for a visit?
The guide explained to her, "The animals are used to the presence of the off-road vehicle and won't approach us. Furthermore, there are sonic repellents on the vehicle, and we have corresponding safety measures in place."
What was it? Liu Yue looked in the direction he pointed.
Oh, it turned out to be a gun.
Liu Yue: ...
She remembered that before tourism developed in Africa, the attitude of the local residents towards wild animals was not to protect them, but to hunt them...
Well, since the resort has always used this type of car, she has nothing to be afraid of.
Moreover, this kind of car without windows does provide a wider field of vision. On the way from here to the hotel, she had already seen many animals.
It should be noted that this "many" refers to quantity, not type.
Because she saw zebras, zebras, and more zebras...
Liu Yue took out her cell phone to take pictures at first, but then she became numb.
What’s going on? Are there only zebras on the grassland?

The author has something to say: *The specific price of the high-end custom-made items was not found, and the author made a random estimate for this chapter.
Because I had to look up a lot of information, I didn’t finish writing today’s 6k words. I will post it in two chapters, and one chapter will be added this afternoon. I will try to adjust my writing time [explosive crying][explosive crying][explosive crying]
