Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Spending Day 25
After returning to the dormitory, Liu Yue drew today's cashback.
60%, 60,000 yuan has been deposited, great!
She stretched out in her seat, feeling refreshed.
Before dinner, Liu Yue received a message from Chanel SA.
The other party first greeted her, and then reminded her that the event she had been invited to was tomorrow, and asked if she was free to attend.
This... Liu Yue almost forgot about it.
She decided to put the message aside and reply after ten o'clock, because she had to decide whether she was free tomorrow based on the amount of the turntable.
I don’t know whether it was to give face to her or to Chanel, but the turntable pulled out a grid worth one million.
Liu Yue didn't hesitate. She told SA to go. As for the number of people attending her...
"Sang Yu, can you accompany me to the Chanel event tomorrow?"
"No problem." Sang Yu answered from below.
Well, that's two people.
Liu Yue thought she wouldn't receive a reply until tomorrow, and thought it would be fine if she didn't have time to enter the information, but her SA replied very quickly.
...Perhaps, they are under a lot of pressure to achieve performance?
Liu Yue forwarded the invitation letter to Sang Yu, asking her to pay attention to the information above and prepare a look for herself for tomorrow.
It feels so good to leave everything to others. Liu Yue fell asleep peacefully.
**
Although Liu Yue said that breakfast was not necessary, a paper bag and a bottle of fresh milk appeared on her desk the next morning.
"It was given to me by my junior brother."
Seeing that she was awake, Wen Huiyi told her: "He sent you a message, but you were still asleep, so he asked someone to send it to our dormitory."
With the network of contacts among college students, it is easy for fellow students in the same department to accomplish this.
Liu Yue, who had just woken up, rubbed her eyes and opened her phone again. Sure enough, she saw unread messages, and there were more than one.
Ji Zishuo sent it to her, Xigua also sent it to her... She said that the finished film of Chimelong has been repaired, packaged and sent to her email, and if there are any questions, she can contact her at any time.
Liu Yue looked at the time the message was sent. It was actually two in the morning. Doesn't Xigua need to sleep? He's incredibly persistent.
She didn't rush to check her mailbox, but got out of bed and opened the paper bag on the table.
Toast, croissants, bagels... There are really rich types of bread there, and Ji Zishuo is quite thoughtful.
This was clearly not enough for her to finish alone, so Liu Yue shared the bread with her roommate. Wen Huiyi thanked her with a smile, her eyes gleaming with gossip.
Meeting on a rainy night and having a loving breakfast together, it sounds so romantic!
"Are you two in a relationship now?" Wen Huiyi asked curiously, "or is he pursuing you unilaterally?"
Hmm...this question is really hard to answer.
Liu Yue wondered if she said she was just enjoying being pursued, wouldn't that seem like a jerk? But he was the one who had taken the initiative to flirt with her.
"Let it be," she said. "I have nothing against him at present."
Sang Yu on the side pricked up her ears. As an assistant, she must care about her boss's love life and help her solve certain problems when necessary.
When the name "Ji Zishuo" was mentioned during their conversation, Sang Yu's expression instantly became subtle.
Sang Yu pondered for a moment and decided not to mention what she knew for the time being.
This matter didn't have to be hers to talk about, and she had to test Liu Yue's attitude towards Ji Zishuo first. If she didn't handle it well, or if Ji Zishuo didn't care at all, then she would become a clown.
After breakfast, Liu Yue opened her mailbox and unzipped the file.
She had seen the preview before and had an idea of the content of the photo, but she still underestimated the power of post-production editing.
From the visual effect, it can be seen that Xigua has added a filter to these photos. The sky is bluer, the clouds are whiter, the colors of buildings, animals and plants are more vivid, and the texture of the photos has also been upgraded from street shots to creamy portraits.
This time, you didn't need an expert to see the tricks; even Liu Yue, a layman, could tell the editing was quite sophisticated. She compared the original photo and couldn't tell what had changed, but she felt she looked better in it.
Liu Yue happily saved these photos, and then found that there were one hundred and twenty-nine photos.
Hmm…it turns out there's another one Xigua gave her as a gift. Liu Yue didn't choose it at the time, but Xigua thought it would be a good surprise if she edited it.
This photo was taken at the white tiger diving site, exactly at the moment when the white tiger jumped down and sank into the water.
To be honest, Baihu's movements were very pretty, but when Liu Yue watched the preview, she felt that her smile was very stiff. Now - Xigua had darkened the shadows of the entire photo a lot.
At the time, Liu Yue was sitting alone on a chair, with the railing behind her crowded with tourists. Because there were too many people in the photo, which is one of the reasons why Liu Yue didn't choose this one, Xigua blurred them all horizontally, leaving only Liu Yue's profile and body in the photo.
Amidst the throng of people, Liu Yue, the lone figure sitting on a chair, became the focal point. In the nearly black-and-white photo, the cluttered background served as the perfect backdrop. Her stiff, tourist-like smile, shone through the atmosphere, revealing a depth beneath her forced smile.
If you add the white tiger staring back at her—the bigger the splash, the more ferocious the expression—the more Liu Yue's powerful aura is emphasized. After all, judging by the composition of the photo, Liu Yue is sitting opposite it, making them a perfect match.
Looking into the eyes of a kitten is a heartwarming moment, while looking into the eyes of a big cat can create an image of calmness and composure, as if facing a crisis.
That’s right, Liu Yue affirmed to herself in her heart, she is such a queen!
She liked the photo so much that she not only shared it with her roommates but also on her Moments. Within a few minutes, it had received numerous likes, greatly satisfying her vanity.
"You've really captured the picture of your life," Wen Huiyi expressed envy in the dormitory. "The timing, location, and people are all right. Doesn't the splash of water from the white tiger look like a pair of wings?"
You know what, the more Liu Yue looked at them, the more they looked alike, and she felt extremely happy.
Looking at her expression now, it's not just a stiff smile, it's clearly three parts of defiance, three parts of interest and nonchalantness as she stares at Baihu! From now on, the domineering CEO in novels has a face, and that's her, Liu Yue!
Xigua’s aesthetic sense is so great. If Liu Yue were asked to edit the photos herself, she would never have thought that she could edit them in this direction.
She asked Lin Feiran how much it would cost to buy the amazing picture from a proxy photographer, and she planned to give Xigua a red envelope based on the price in the circle.
She had already paid the agreed-upon remuneration, and this was an extra thank you—not only was this picture exceptionally good, but the quality of the 128 pictures she selected also exceeded expectations.
Lin Feiran said there was no specific price. A rare and precious picture is hard to come by, and its value depends on how much the wealthy woman is willing to pay. After all, this is an emotional purchase; happiness is what matters most, and it can't be measured by the value of a commodity.
Liu Yue thought so too, so how much is it worth to make her happy?
She thought for a few seconds, then transferred 10,000 yuan to Xigua. To be honest, when she transferred the money, she felt like she was spending a fortune, and the satisfaction she felt was even greater.
After turning around, Liu Yue realized belatedly that this could be considered consumption.
System: "Yes, this is a reward-type consumption, and it's also because the host is really happy now."
What a smart system... But Liu Yue was even happier when she thought that the system supported her in spending money to buy happiness.
Chanel's event was in the afternoon. Liu Yue finished her lunch and took a short nap before going out.
I have to say, having an assistant is really convenient. She doesn't have to go downstairs to get lunch takeout, or even choose it herself. She says it's up to her, and the dishes Sang Yu ordered are all to her liking. Half an hour before going out, she changes into the clothes Sang Yu has chosen, and sits in a chair while she puts on her makeup and ties her hair.
She had just praised Aunt Cai's hair-braiding skills yesterday, but she hadn't expected Sang Yu to be just as good, and even better at applying makeup, and her hand speed was also very fast. Liu Yue didn't feel how many steps there were, but the more she looked at herself in the mirror, the more she liked herself.
Perhaps because of the large number of invited customers, Chanel’s event was not held in a store but in a hotel.
Liu Yue thought she had to check her registration information, but as soon as she reached the entrance, SA came up to her warmly: "Miss Liu, please come this way. I'll take you to sign in."
She only went to Chanel once, and SA remembered her appearance. She is indeed a salesperson in a luxury store. It seems that when people want to be attentive, they really are attentive.
Liu Yue received a gift at the check-in counter, which was a sample bottle of perfume.
She had bought cosmetics and skincare products before, but she really didn't consider perfume because she had never used it.
Sang Yu squeezed a little on her wrist, and Liu Yue sniffed it gently. It tasted pretty good.
"I wonder if this is the product they're promoting today." Liu Yue said, "I can buy some formal wear later."
Sang Yu smiled and said, "If you like, I can ask SA to send you a few bottles later."
"Oh, is it so good?" Liu Yue was surprised.
"Because this event is mainly promoting the spring and summer preview."
Sang Yu pointed Liu Yue in a direction with his eyes: "Chanel is about to launch new products. Those invited today should all be potential VIC customers."
However, seeing Liu Yue's mood today, Sang Yu estimated that she would be able to remove the word "potential" soon.
There weren't designated seating areas at the brand event, so Liu Yue randomly chose a seat in an area with plenty of empty seats. She was more interested in the desserts and tea provided than in socializing.
"This chocolate is good." Liu Yue tasted one and asked Sang Yu, "Do you know what brand this is? I haven't seen it before."
"Pierre Marcoline, a Belgian brand, is known for its high-end luxury products."
Sang Yu also ate one: "Some people first said that it was specially provided by Hermès to VIP customers, and then it became popular in luxury stores."
Liu Yue understood. It turned out that it was marketing tied to luxury goods.
But I have to say, this chocolate tastes really good. The small square brick is smooth and delicate, and there are hazelnut crisps inside, which makes it crispy and rich in taste.
Moreover, it is less sweet and has a strong chocolate flavor. Liu Yue didn't feel sick even after eating two.
"It's delicious," she said. "Can I buy this online?"
"You can't buy it online, but PM has an offline store in Shenzhen. If you like it, I'll ask Aunt Zhang to buy some."
Liu Yue nodded, and after a while she remembered that Sang Yu had not told her the price.
But it doesn't matter. With her average daily consumption level, the housekeeper doesn't need to tell her specifically about such a small matter.
Liu Yue concentrated on tasting the desserts at the event and also drank some wine.
She had tried some red wine before and it tasted very dry, so when she saw the white wine this time, she was curious and drank some.
It tastes sour when you first put it in your mouth, but then there's a distinct sweetness. This sweetness reminds Liu Yue of Sunshine Rose—of course, this is a version with a significantly lower price.
"It's delicious." Liu Yue seemed to have opened the door to a new world. "I thought all wines were astringent and bitter, but it turns out only red wine tastes that way."
Sang Yu: "Not necessarily. It depends on the grape variety, brewing method and sugar content."
She whispered about the different types of wine, and Liu Yue nodded as she listened. There were quite a few different types of drinks at the event, and on a whim, she asked the waiter to pour her a few more glasses.
Of course, she also took some extra snacks. Sang Yu also explained to her which wine goes well with which snacks. Liu Yue was very happy eating here.
Seeing that she liked it, SA approached her enthusiastically and asked her if she wanted to pack some to take home.
Wow, Chanel’s service attitude is so good! No wonder so many rich people are willing to pay for the brand halo.
She nodded and pointed to a few of her favorite foods. Sa agreed with a smile on his face and turned to prepare them for her.
Liu Yue didn't know that her behavior of eating here was despised by others.
Behind her, a woman dressed like a noblewoman frowned. "How come another internet celebrity is sneaking in here to eat and drink for free? She's even taking things while she eats. Has Chanel become like this now?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at her companions, who smiled awkwardly and echoed her vaguely.
Li Jiamin never expected to meet Liu Yue here.
The woman next to her is the wife of Liu Hui Company’s partner, and Li Jiamin is accompanying her today.
She really didn't want to be recognized by Liu Yue, so she could only pray that she wouldn't look back. No matter what she wanted to do here, she just had to not look over here.
However... Li Jiamin saw out of the corner of her eye that the girl next to Liu Yue picked up her phone to take a photo of her, and she felt inexplicably complicated. It turned out that she was an internet celebrity.
So her so-called "rich biological parents" are not just bragging, right?
Li Jiamin was filled with doubts, unable to tell whether she hoped what she said was true or false. Seeing that Liu Yue seemed to be turning her head, she quickly turned away.
The lady next to her obviously doesn't like her. Liu Yue should not suddenly come over and call her sister-in-law... What if this also lowers Liu Hui's impression in other people's minds?
Fortunately, Liu Yue was just stretching her body and didn't look over here.
The brand event started soon. Unlike what Liu Yue had imagined, the host did not rush to sell the products, but started with the brand story.
First, the brand's history was discussed, followed by an expert presentation on clothing and jewelry craftsmanship. Although the presentation was primarily about specialized knowledge, the experts were very experienced and their narration was captivating, so Liu Yue was drawn in without realizing it.
"It feels more interesting than the elective courses in our school." Liu Yue whispered to Sang Yu.
To be honest, if the school's regular lectures were of this quality, she would be willing to attend even if there were no moral education points.
Sang Yu smiled but said nothing. This is the difference between paying for school and brands trying every possible way to take money out of customers' pockets.
After the introduction, it was time to showcase new products.
Models walked on the runway wearing ready-made clothes and jewelry. Sang Yu watched for a few minutes and then told Liu Yue which model had a figure closest to hers so that she could focus on observing how the clothes looked on her body.
Liu Yue nodded, but she was more interested in the jewelry this time than the ready-made clothes.
She liked the color blue—something Sang Yu had already observed. Coincidentally, Chanel's spring/summer preview collection featured a number of jewelry pieces with marine elements, and the pink and blue long necklace caught Liu Yue's eye, making her unable to look away.
"So shiny." She said to Sang Yu, "Is this all covered with diamonds?"
Sang Yu: "No, if it were all diamonds, it would appear at a high-ju event. This is just rhinestones and glass."
"If you look closely, you'll notice the necklace only sparkles with white light. High-quality diamonds, however, will have vibrant, vibrant stars – the legendary fire. Of course, the intensity of the fire depends on the cutting process."
Having learned something new, Liu Yue nodded thoughtfully.
She asked Sang Yu, "How much do I have to spend before Chanel will invite me to participate in the Gaozhu event?"
These sparkling white rhinestones were already very beautiful, and she really wanted to see if the legendary high-end jewelry could really blind her eyes.
"Just tell SA that you want to go," Sang Yu told her, "Gaozhu events don't require any spending.
Of course, the salesperson wouldn't just send out invitations casually. The attentive service Liu Yue had just received wasn't something every customer would get. These salespeople were very discerning and clearly had a high opinion of Liu Yue's spending power.
Although these are rhinestones, Liu Yue doesn't mind because they are cheap!
She spent more than 90,000 yuan on a Bulgari bracelet, a Chanel necklace was just over 10,000 yuan, and ear clips and brooches were only a few thousand yuan.
Oh my God, when did things worth thousands of dollars become prefixed with "only" in her mind?
Alas, it’s because the system gave too much. She has to spend millions today, and these are not enough to make up the number.
It's OK if it looks good, buy it if you like it, and wear it out for fun~
Sang Yu waved and called SA over. After a while, a model came to Liu Yue with blue jewelry to show it to her.
Liu Yue wanted to try on a long necklace the most. After putting it on, SA added a clavicle chain to her. The double Chanel logo on her chest shone with double the brilliance.
"I want both of them." Liu Yue said while looking in the mirror, "Put on that brooch too."
Sa asked her which one it was, the one with a heart shape surrounded by pearls, or the one with a square frame and a blue heart inside?
Liu Yue took a look and said: "They are all pretty good-looking. Let's try them. If they are suitable, I will take them all."
"These earrings are also nice. They're the same design as the brooch. Would you like to try them on?"
Before Liu Yue said that she didn't have pierced ears, SA took out the converter, obviously having prepared it long ago.
"Let's try it." Liu Yue said, "I've never worn earrings before."
She spoke very frankly, and SA did not show any extra emotions, just concentrating on serving her.
After putting on the earrings, Liu Yue's most immediate feeling was that they were heavy.
The feeling of the earrings draping under the head was very fresh. She couldn't help but shake her head slightly to see the earrings swaying slightly, which seemed quite interesting.
As long as her ears didn't need to be pierced, Liu Yue was very receptive to accessories like earrings and studs. When Sang Yu tried the earrings on her, she felt like a child who had just gotten a new toy, and everything she saw was full of novelty.
This one looks good, that one looks good too, this one has a nice style, that one really suits her skin tone, and this one is a limited edition—
Liu Yue, who had never worn earrings before, opened the door to a new world, and SA seemed to have seen a huge blue ocean market.
She promoted everything from the new products of the season to the brand's classics, and all kinds of praise poured in to Liu Yue, praising her to the highest level. Even Sang Yu was surprised by her attentiveness.
But this is normal. After all, not every salesperson has the opportunity to meet a customer like Liu Yue who is willing to spend money.
It's not that her purchases are the most expensive, but rather that she spends based on her mood, never considering value for money. Chanel jewelry doesn't hold its value; the resale value drops in half the moment it leaves the store. Rich people are also careful with their money; otherwise, how could they be so wealthy?
But Liu Yue is really willful when it comes to spending money. She can shop in any luxury store and make it look like she bought the goods in Yiwu.
Others don't know that her pocket money is daily, so they will just think that the little money is not worth mentioning to her. Of course, SA wants to tap into her greater consumption potential.
When she tried on the fourteenth pair of earrings, Liu Yue felt tired.
"Let's try something else." She turned and asked Sang Yu, "How much is the money I asked for just now?"
Sang Yu quickly calculated: "Including the pair you just tried on, the total is 114,400 yuan."
Liu Yue showed a shocked expression. Sang Yu thought she didn't know how she spent so much money. She was about to calculate it for her, but unexpectedly Liu Yue said:
"I tried for a long time and my ears hurt. It's only 110,000? Are earrings that cheap?"
Oh my god, how long will it take to spend that one million? This efficiency is too poor!
Sang Yu:......
Sang Yu smiled and reminded, "Actually, the 110,000 includes the necklace and brooch. If you only count the earrings, it's 74,900 yuan."
"Chanel's earrings are priced around 5,000. Their regular jewelry is positioned as trendy, after all, the raw materials are there."
Liu Yue thought so too. She bought Chanel jewelry just for its beautiful designs. Such small toys could only be a bonus compared to the millions of dollars spent.
As for Sang Yu's question about whether she should recommend higher quality jewelry to her, Liu Yue said not to for now, and to wait until she finishes shopping at Chanel and see if she is still in the mood to continue shopping.
Well, actually it depends on whether there is any budget left... but it feels cooler to say it this way!
Seeing that Liu Yue was tired from trying on earrings, Sa introduced her to a few bracelets and also recommended the new ready-to-wear clothes on the model.
Sang Yu thought, I've only ever heard of jewelry being accessories to clothing, but with Liu Yue it's the other way around...
But it doesn’t matter. The world is big and customers’ preferences are the most important. Being able to make Liu Yue happy is her ability.
This kind of set recommendation really works wonders. Liu Yue originally thought the ready-made clothes were just average, but after adding a necklace here, a ring there, a chain belt, and a bow hair accessory, the whole set of clothes immediately gave people a different feeling.
In addition to SA, Sang Yu also provided a lot of styling references. They first checked the effect on the model, and then Liu Yue tried it on herself, which saved a lot of time.
Sa even took her measurements and said she would hire a model who was closer to her figure so that the next show would have a better viewing effect.
Who could refuse such thoughtful service? Liu Yue really liked it. She nodded modestly and, under SA's sweet words, ordered several new sets of clothes.
"This bracelet is nice," she said while looking in the mirror, "but the size M feels a bit big. Give me a size S."
"No problem, Ms. Liu."
Liu Yue took a selfie in the mirror in the fitting room, admiring her white denim jacket.
The fabric of this coat is relatively stiff, but the style is really nice. Paired with a grey tweed tank top and skirt, the expansive pattern no longer poses a problem of looking bulky, but becomes a secret weapon to enhance your aura.
If you want to spend money quickly, you have to buy ready-made clothes. Her outfit alone cost over 120,000 yuan, and the scattered accessories on her body only added up to 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, which was very cheap.
Outside the fitting room, her SA took away the last size S bracelet on the scene.
Another SA frowned: "This one has already been reserved."
"Give Ms. Liu priority," she said calmly. "Do you know how much she's going to spend today? Over 970,000! The last time she came here, she spent over 800,000, and that was less than a month ago. I'm going to apply for a VISA for her."
The minimum annual spending threshold for Chanel VIC is three million, and it is even more expensive in big cities. However, for wealthy and willful customers like Liu Yue who have high short-term spending and are willing to buy non-value-retaining products, the brand will of course give her the green light.
Well, if they were all ordinary customers, she could still argue with them; but in front of Vic, SA, who had just raised the objection, had nothing to say.
Who lets the money he spends in one trip equal the amount that others can accumulate in half a year?
She could only regretfully inform her customers that the size S of this bracelet was out of stock, but size M was currently in stock.
If Liu Yue had a God's perspective, she would have discovered that the customer whose bracelet she had snatched away was the very woman who had been secretly telling her that she was a freeloader for the internet celebrity.
She frowned and asked SA: "Didn't you just say that there was stock available?"
"Sorry, I misread the inventory just now. Size S of this item is indeed out of stock."
"My wrist is small, the size M doesn't fit. How long will it take to get a size S?"
"It may take about two weeks, it's hard to say exactly how long."
Isn't two weeks too long? Besides, the store will have new products in a few days, and she doesn't want to queue with a bunch of people to buy them.
But there was no other way. Luxury goods were out of stock. SA said it was out of stock, so she had to wait. Of course, as a VIC customer reserve, SA promised to give her priority.
She complained to Li Jiamin beside her: "What do you mean by misreading the inventory? They must have given my bracelet to someone Vic!"
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Those who can afford Chanel are considered rich, but there are even richer people in the pyramid of rich people. Some people upgrade by gradual progress, while others only need a one-time investment.
Li Jiamin's role today was to cheer up this lady and make her happy. She didn't know what to say at this moment, so she could only laugh dryly and change the subject.
Someone came out from the fitting room and several people surrounded him. The person who was being treated like a star was most likely Vic.
The customers who didn't buy the bracelet looked over there, and when they saw that the young girl surrounded by them was the "Internet celebrity" just now, the expressions on their faces were like an overturned color palette, which was wonderful.
The only thing she could do to comfort herself was that she hadn't spoken loudly just now, so the other person definitely couldn't hear what she was saying...
Such a young Vic, I wonder which boss's daughter she is? It's a pity that I sat far away and didn't have the chance to get to know her.
Li Jiamin, who was standing next to her, also saw Liu Yue. She was shocked and thought she had seen it wrong, but after blinking repeatedly, she was sure that the person was definitely Liu Yue.
She walked over there to confirm it again, but before she got close to Liu Yue, another girl blocked her way.
Sang Yu: "Excuse me, what can I do for you? I'm Ms. Liu's assistant. You can talk to me first."
Li Jiamin felt that the other party's gaze was mercilessly sweeping from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet, with a strong sense of scrutiny, which made her feel like there was something stuck in her throat and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Is there anything wrong?" Sang Yu asked again, and his tone was no longer so polite.
“…No, nothing’s wrong.”
Under Sang Yu's gaze, Li Jiamin's brain went blank, and she didn't know what to say to Liu Yue.
When she came to her senses, Liu Yue had already paid the bill and left surrounded by Chanel staff.
From the beginning to the end of the event, she indeed did not glance over here, and no one noticed that she was here.
