CHAPTER 127: 125, PATEK PHILIPPE RETURNS! 2 MILLION CASHBACK CARDS!

Lin Xiaoyun shook her head. "There’s no need to thank Brother Feng like that. I’m just envious for a while; maybe after some time, I’ll get over it."

Chen Dali nodded. "Brother Luo Feng, you’re too polite. These days, it’s very rare for anyone to be willing to lend money. Xiaoyun, you should remember what Brother Feng has done for you."

Luofeng knew Chen Dali was someone who cared about face. He wouldn’t casually call someone "brother," but he was indeed approaching thirty. From the time he had called over a pretty but vapid guy at the bar and lost face with Luofeng, leading him to arrange the car racing event the very next day, it was obvious. He was a good person, but he cared too much about his face.

"I think I’d better go for a second-hand car," Lin Xiaoyun said.

"Yeah, with second-hand cars, that sense of anticipation is like treasure hunting, far more thrilling than the fixed treasure chest you get with new cars," Luofeng described. Indeed, with second-hand cars, you could get a good car for a low price, or you could get swindled; it was like the gacha in games. Buying a new car, on the other hand, was like straight-up spending money on gear: the price was set, and if you had the money, you went for it; if not, you stepped aside.

"By the way, my plane is tonight, so this afternoon I’m just going to wander around on my own," Luofeng said, and both understood he probably just wanted to shop a little and take some things home. In such situations, they had no need to meddle.

"Hmm, what time is your flight, Little Luo?" inquired Chen Dali.

"Don’t worry about the specific time. I’m not a kid who needs someone to see me off. It’s easy to take a taxi there. However, next time I come, I’ll have to trouble you two Sponsors to pick me up," Luofeng said.

Since Luofeng had put it that way, Chen Dali couldn’t press further. "Alright then, just make sure you contact me in advance next time you come. I’ll arrange a pickup service for you."

"Thanks in advance, Brother Dali."

Soon, the meal concluded.

Luofeng then took a taxi from the Peppercorn chicken restaurant, heading for the Patek Philippe Store in the Capital City. After all, he had a cashback card for Patek Philippe purchases in his backpack with a maximum limit of 2 million. Luofeng planned to spend it and take advantage of the sure bargain.

Shortly after, Luofeng alighted from the cab and arrived at No. 23 Qianmen, the location of the Patek Philippe Store in the Capital City.

Though Luofeng didn’t have an appointment this time, the Patek Philippe sales staff greeted him warmly. After all, he was wearing their brand of wrist watch; how could the store staff not recognize it? Of course, one couldn’t expect to encounter the same manager every time, and employee turnover was also high. The bigger the store, the more brutal the competition for survival—truly survival of the fittest.

"Hello, sir. I’m Li Kang, the acting manager. Welcome back," he said warmly.

"Oh?" Luofeng glanced at him, surprised to be recognized.

"Then I’d like to know, do you have any of the Starry Sky Series available?" Luofeng asked directly.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Luo, we don’t have any in stock at the moment. If you like this series, I could register a booking for you," Li Kang offered.

"How long would it take if I booked?" inquired Luofeng. The Starry Sky Series... wasn’t it one of Patek Philippe’s most renowned wristwatch lines? The Blue starry sky, for instance.

"The specifics aren’t certain. For example, the most popular 610 Blue starry sky could take up to two years!"

Damn it! Luofeng was speechless. Why can other people just stroll into a store and buy a Blue starry sky? Novels are definitely fake! Such brainless plots!

"If it’s the 610 Dark starry sky you’re interested in, it might take around a year," Li Kang explained. "Although the Dark starry sky has a slightly lower profile than the Blue starry sky, it is still quite popular."

"As for models like the 001 and 002 of the smaller Starry Sky Series, they are virtually impossible to find in stock now," Li Kang continued.

"How many wrist watches above a million do you have in the store right now? I’d like to see them all," Luofeng stated.

Li Kang’s heart clearly skipped a beat, but he suppressed his excitement. He had just noticed Luofeng was wearing the 5160 and, as the acting manager, of course, he knew its price. And now Mr. Luo is asking about wrist watches over a million? Could I be making a big sale today?

"Mr. Luo, this way please. If you could wait in the VIP room for a moment, I’ll have all the relevant wrist watches brought over to you," Li Kang courteously offered.

Soon, Luofeng entered the VIP room on the second floor.

It seemed a few salespeople recognized Luofeng, as they approached with smiles. "Mr. Luo, what would you like to drink? We have tea, juice, coffee, mineral water, soft drinks, and so on."

Honestly, there was none of the coquettishness you read about in novels, but their gazes were definitely full of admiration for him.

"Mineral water is fine." Luofeng glanced at the female salesperson’s black stockings. A woman with a good figure is always appealing. It reminded me it’s been a long time since I’ve indulged. It’ll be a while before I can properly play ’poker’ with Su Meiji. Sometimes I even think about randomly picking a Bai Jin woman from WeChat to scratch the itch. But then I dismiss the idea. Better to take it slow. When the ’fish’ get bigger, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle them all anyway.

"Alright, Mr. Luo." The female salesperson nodded, her sexy, pert derriere swaying as she went to get the mineral water.

Patek Philippe’s service attitude was, quite clearly, very comfortable for Luofeng. But then again, when selling such expensive items, a lack of good service would be rather insulting to the customers’ intelligence.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Luo. The million-dollar wrist watches will be brought to you immediately," Li Kang said, having already instructed the staff, and now returned to Luofeng’s side.

As Luofeng sat waiting, he noticed two other customers: a middle-aged man and a young beauty. Luofeng sized them up, guessing their relationship. However, just as Luofeng looked away, not wanting to stare, the young beauty began to curiously scrutinize him instead.

Soon, Li Kang approached with a tray of wrist watches.

In it were four wrist watches. Three of them were from the ultra-complicated chronograph series. The fourth was from the Nautilus Series, but it wasn’t a basic entry-level piece; it was the ultra-complicated version with Perpetual Calendar and Moon Phase features.

Li Kang didn’t immediately launch into an introduction of the wrist watches. Instead, he simply opened the display tray, allowing Luofeng to inspect them.

"Could you introduce them?" Luofeng asked.

"Sir, you’re clearly an expert. How about we add each other on WeChat? I can send you the specifications to look over," Li Kang suggested.

Luofeng had no reason to refuse. It’s not like it’s a woman asking, and even if he has an ulterior motive, I usually add people anyway.

They soon exchanged WeChat details.

The basic specifications for the several wrist watches were all sent over.

Three of the wrist watches were from the same series, the 5270. The 013 model had a white dial with a white gold case. The 001 had an off-white dial with a Rose gold case. The P001 featured a Rose gold-colored dial with a platinum case. These were all priced around 1.2 million, with the platinum model at 1.39 million.

The fourth, from the Nautilus Series, was the 57401G001. It had an all-metal construction, with the bracelet, case, crown, and clasp all crafted from white gold.
