My minimum living allowance is credited to my account every day with 1000 million yuan

The sales assistant introduced Chen Xiao to the top 5 products.

The Lady Kalla Flame High Jewelry Watch is an auction-quality, one-of-a-kind piece featuring a flame design pavé-set with over 3000 diamonds (totaling over 50 carats) and can also be converted into a brooch.

This one is worth 3000 million. When the saleswoman mentioned this price, she paid special attention to Chen Xiao's expression, wondering if the gentleman was taken aback.

However, to everyone's surprise, the man seemed to treat hearing "30 million" as if it were nothing more than hearing "30 yuan," while the other customers in the store gasped in astonishment. 30 million, on his wrist?
Chen Xiao wasn't wearing a watch today. His diamond-encrusted Nautilus is even more valuable. If the sales assistant had seen it, she would have definitely started recommending this top-of-the-line model right away.

Heures Créatives Wing Time High Jewelry Watches

The saleswoman only had pictures and introduced the watch to Chen Xiao as an 18K white gold wing-shaped case with a dial featuring Renaissance-era miniature enamel craftsmanship, accompanied by a matching diamond feather brooch, valued at over 1500 million.

Also, the Métiers d'Art Goddess Collection one-of-a-kind watch.
The dial is hand-engraved with a Greek goddess image, the bezel is set with 12 Colombian emeralds, and the watch comes in a bespoke box containing samples of the original stones.
This watch is worth over 1000 million.

Chen Xiao's expression was a little strange. This saleswoman didn't seem to be recommending products to him; instead, she seemed to be explaining some Vacheron Constantin watch knowledge to him.

He waved his hand, "One of each of these styles."

The people present were instantly petrified, and they all turned to look in this direction.

The saleswoman's smile froze instantly, her pupils contracted sharply, and her lips parted slightly, as if a pause button had been pressed.

"What did he just say? One of each kind?! How much will that cost?!" The product brochure in her hand fell onto the glass counter with a "thud," but she didn't notice, her fingers unconsciously tightening around her employee badge.

The air seemed to be sucked out, and a few clear hissing sounds came from different corners. The entire store fell into absolute silence for 0.5 seconds, and even the sound of the central air conditioning vents could be clearly heard.

The middle-aged man's female companion stared in their direction with her mouth agape and whispered, "Are you crazy?"

"Anyone can brag, just keep watching if you don't believe me."

The saleswoman was indeed startled, and after a long pause, she stammered, "One of each style?"

"Oh, right, you just said there were five types, so there are two more. Could you tell me about them?"

He interrupted the saleswoman halfway through her speech. When she asked a question, the saleswoman continued her introduction:
The Traditionnelle Skeleton Tourbillon Jewelry Watch features a fully skeletonized movement with a tourbillon mechanism and a bracelet set with baguette-cut diamonds.

There's also the Gérie Moon Phase with full diamonds, where the case, strap, and dial are all covered in diamonds, and the moon phase disc is made from slices of natural sapphire.

Both of these watches are priced around 600 million.

600 million, that's not bad. "Then let's get one of each of these 5 models." These watches are gifts for my woman or friends, and I don't want them to have the same one as someone else, so I'll get one of each.

The middle-aged man sneered, "Still bragging here. He'll probably say he has something to do in a bit and won't buy anything today, but will come back later."

His voice was a bit loud, and everyone was so stunned by Chen Xiao's actions that they fell silent. His words were heard throughout the store, and many people even nodded in agreement; they had never seen Chen Xiao play like this before.

The sales assistant thought he was joking. From the moment he came to bargain to the moment he gave her the watch that he had finally managed to bargain down to, everything he did seemed like he was crazy.

This is even more outrageous. These five watches are worth nearly 7000 million yuan in total. What kind of decent person would buy watches like this?

"Sir... are you... are you serious?"

He Qing felt sorry for the saleswoman; Chen Xiao was driving her crazy. His spending habits were indeed quite frightening. She walked over and said, "Miss, just do as he says."

The saleswoman seemed to trust He Qing more; she didn't dare to move even after Chen Xiao spoke for a long time. But as soon as He Qing spoke, she seemed to be convinced immediately.

Chen Xiao then chimed in, "Right? I'm paying the deposit anyway, what are you afraid of?"

The saleswoman was in a state of turmoil, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her throat. "Sir, for this kind of top-tier custom-made item, a 50% deposit is required."

He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just a few tens of millions, which is just a few days' worth of welfare money."

Everyone in the store stopped what they were doing, and the customers also stopped and looked over, eager to see how things would end, to see if he was just bragging or if he could really pay.

The middle-aged man and his female companion also temporarily stopped trying on the watches, and at this moment, Chen Xiao became the center of attention.

Chen Xiao suddenly turned around and teased the middle-aged man's female companion again: "I'll give you one more chance. Come over here, and you can pick any watch you like in this store."

Damn it, the middle-aged man's face was as black as a black pot as he stared fiercely at Chen Xiao, but he kept glancing at his female companion out of the corner of his eye, as if afraid that she would suddenly fly away.

At this moment, the saleswoman finished calculating the customized amount, her voice trembling slightly. Her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the edge of the POS machine, her knuckles turning white from the force. Her voice was half a tone higher than usual: "Sir, you need to pay... 3500 million."

Her gaze darted quickly between Chen Xiao's face and hands, both afraid he might change his mind and afraid he was joking.

When the amount was announced, the entire room fell silent again, and all eyes were on Chen Xiao.

"He really has the money to pay, he's not just playing games with people, is he?"

"If he were really that rich, would he need to haggle over the price of a watch?"

"3500 million? That's enough to buy a villa, right?"

"If this guy can't come up with the money, he'll probably be on the news today..."

"You're wrong. If he could produce that much money, it would probably make the news."

He casually pulled a black card from his pocket, tapped it lightly twice with his fingertips, and looked as calm as if he were buying a bottle of water at a convenience store.

Everyone held their breath; the exciting moment was about to begin.

Chen Xiao handed over his card, and everyone's heart nearly jumped out of their throats. The middle-aged man screamed inwardly, "Damn it, is he really serious? Does he really have that much money?"

Looking at the girl next to me, I felt like she might turn into a butterfly and fly away at any moment.

Just as the sales assistant touched the card, Chen Xiao abruptly pulled his hand back. "Wait a minute—"

Everyone seemed relieved, as if a huge weight had been lifted off their shoulders. "Phew—as expected, this guy was just playing games; he didn't have any money at all." It was like watching a farce finally come to an end.

The middle-aged man laughed loudly, "You've put on quite a good act, but no matter how well you act, you can't fake money. You've finally been exposed."

He glanced sideways at Chen Xiao, a mocking smile playing on his lips, as if looking at a clown. He thought to himself, "He really is a penniless wretch; I almost fell for his act!"

The girl next to him had initially been somewhat attracted to Chen Xiao, but now she was glad she hadn't gone over there, otherwise—"Oh my god, I almost believed it just now..." she quietly hid behind the middle-aged man, afraid that someone would see through her "foolishness".

"I knew it! How could someone just casually spend 3500 million to buy a watch?"

"Did you overdo it with your showing off? Now you're in an awkward situation!"

The saleswoman's smile froze on her face, her pupils contracted sharply, and her fingers hovered in mid-air, as if a pause button had been pressed. "Oh no, he really is a conman! I'm going to make a huge fool of myself..."

She forced a smile, but her tone was slightly distant: "Sir, do you have any other questions?" She felt that there should be a limit to joking, and that repeatedly making jokes about herself was going too far.

Chen Xiao had no idea she was thinking so much, and as for the middle-aged man's words, he ignored them completely. Smiling, he asked the saleswoman, "Can the lead time for this custom-made item be shortened?"

It would take two years, and Chen Xiao didn't have the patience for that. Unfortunately, there were no cash items available, and apart from the custom-made ones, there wasn't a single one that caught his eye.

So that's what you were asking. The sales assistant politely replied, "Sir, if you want to shorten the processing time, you'll need to skip the existing order, which will incur an extra 20% expedited fee. That's not worth it."

Those around him nodded in agreement. 20% was 1400 million. Who would be crazy to pay an extra 1400 million just to get the watch sooner?

But soon, they witnessed the birth of a madman.

"Okay, 1400 million, right? Adding the 3500 million from before, that's a total of 4900 million. Swipe your card."

This time, Chen Xiao readily handed over the card, and the scene fell silent once again.

"No way, not again? What will happen this time?" "Incorrect password? Card demagnetized?"

"Is it possible that the balance will run out and the whole series will end?"

The middle-aged man and his female companion turned their attention to this area again. He continued to sneer and said to his female companion, "You watch, in 30 seconds at most, something will happen, and we'll have to stop again."

They saw the saleswoman enter the amount, and then Chen Xiao was asked to enter her PIN when the card was swiped. Just as they were all internally screaming, "Payment failed!", the card machine suddenly dispensed a successful transaction receipt.

The Vacheron Constantin spotlights shone like spotlights on Chen Xiao, even gilding the tips of his hair.

The saleswoman's fingers trembled slightly as she held the receipt, her lips parted unconsciously, and her eyes were fixed on the green "Payment Successful" message on the POS machine. For the first time in ten years in the industry, she stammered, "Sir...sir, your...your invoice..." Her voice seemed to float on clouds.

My mind was racing with thoughts like, "This is the peak of my career... I'm unbeatable nationwide!"

She never imagined that Chen Xiao was really that rich. Was his bargaining just now a test for her? If she hadn't been extremely patient and given up her personal commission to give him a discount, he wouldn't have given her a watch, let alone spent 8400 million from her. Good deeds are rewarded, and this moment made it all clear.

The middle-aged man's lips still held a mocking curve, but his face had lost all color, like a wax figure whose soul had been ripped out. His neck snapped shut as he turned toward his female companion, his pupils unfocused, his hand in his pocket gripping the Mercedes car keys so tightly they creaked.

Her female companion immediately sprang to attention, her gaze towards Chen Xiao instantly electrifying. Her mouth, adorned with CL lipstick, opened into an "O" shape, as if she could launch herself forward and pounce on him the moment Chen Xiao spoke again.

"Come on, I'll take you to buy a Patek Philippe. It's the 'blue-blooded aristocracy' of the watchmaking world, the eternal king at the pinnacle of luxury watches." They had to hurry; at this moment, Chen Xiao only needed to wave his hand, and his female companion would be flying away.

Chen Xiao waited for a long time, but her female companion didn't even look at him. Disappointed, she could only follow the middle-aged man to Patek Philippe, thinking to herself—I've wasted that 60 yuan watch today, no way! When I get to Patek Philippe, I absolutely can't choose a watch worth less than 60 yuan, otherwise today will be a huge loss!
"You can never truly own a Patek Philippe; you are merely looking after it for the next generation."

—The brand's classic advertising slogan defines its enduring value.

Some say that if there is a god in the world of watches, it must be Patek Philippe—its 184-year history proves that true luxury is not about price, but about time itself crowning craftsmanship.

After leaving Vacheron Constantin, Chen Xiao and He Qing naturally wouldn't miss out on Patek Philippe. He wanted to buy some small gifts for people to give as presents.

A middle-aged man and his female companion are at Patek Philippe. The woman is seen choosing a Ref. 7130R - Ladies' World Time.

This is a basic rose gold model. The middle-aged man asked the price—52. Damn, that's too much! Seeing that his female companion seemed to like it, he was a little unhappy and said from the side, "I don't think this looks good. The Calatrava 4897 is fine."

The woman pursed her lips, thinking to herself, "Damn it, you just made me miss out on a 60 yuan watch, and the other guy was a real heartthrob. You old bastard, you're not even willing to spend 52 yuan, and you want me to pick that entry-level model? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Suddenly, a pleasant voice called out, "Hey, Zhang Man?"

The middle-aged man's female companion immediately turned around, looked at the beautiful girl in the black dress, and was stunned for a moment: "Li Xiaona, you're here?"

Li Xiaona nodded, glanced at the middle-aged man, and roughly understood their relationship, but didn't ask any further questions. Li Xiaona greeted him and stepped aside, saying, "I'm just browsing around, you guys do your thing."

The middle-aged man noticed that Li Xiaona was even prettier than his female companion, Zhang Man, and an idea immediately formed in his mind. "You're Zhang Man's friend, right? Want to have dinner together later?"

"Won't I bother you?" Li Xiaona was relying on her pretty face to come to a place like this to see if there were any rich and handsome guys. This middle-aged man could afford to spend money at Patek Philippe, so being rich or handsome was irrelevant to him.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed. Her asking meant she agreed, which meant the girl had a chance. He immediately said, "Zhang Man is picking out watches and her eyes are dazzled. Would you like to help her take a look?"

Zhang Man knew exactly what he was thinking, and cursed him inwardly, "You old lecher." She didn't really care, as long as he gave her what was rightfully hers; she wasn't going to talk about feelings with him.

When Chen Xiao entered the Patek Philippe store, he saw a middle-aged man with two girls trying on watches. He was surprised that such an unattractive man was so enthusiastic about picking up girls, and he didn't seem to care if he scared them off.

A sales assistant came forward to greet him, but Chen Xiao was in a hurry to meet up with Zhang Ziqian. Zhang Ziqian had just messaged him saying she was already waiting for a table and would be able to dine in soon. He was there to quickly buy some items at Patek Philippe.

"Give me one of each of your ladies' watches priced over 100 million. Oh, and by the way, one of the custom-made ones too. I also want to shorten the customization period; you can pay extra if that's required."

His words were truly astonishing. If it weren't for his refined and handsome appearance and impeccable attire, the saleswoman would have thought he was crazy.

Hearing that familiar voice, Zhang Man immediately turned around. The moment she saw Chen Xiao, anticipation surged within her again—"Call me! Call me! Take me flying!"

The saleswoman's lips involuntarily curled into a smile, but she quickly suppressed it, afraid of appearing unprofessional. Her hand trembled slightly as she picked up the tablet, her voice shaky: "Sir... I'll arrange it for you right away!"

Everyone else was incredibly envious. Who was this big spender? With this kind of spending, he must have easily spent over 100 million. Many people didn't even believe it was true.

The saleswoman was trembling with excitement. "Oh my god! My KPIs have reached godlike status today! My year-end bonus is enough to buy a Hermes bag!"

The middle-aged man cursed under his breath, "Damn it, I'm about to burst! How did this guy follow me here?"

Li Xiaona glanced at Chen Xiao and He Qing strangely and muttered, "Really? Who shops like this? Even Middle Eastern tycoons don't do this."

Zhang Man ignored the middle-aged man's ugly expression and looked at Chen Xiao, saying to Li Xiaona, "He just spent 8900 million at Vacheron Constantin. Do you think his words are credible?"

Hiss—! Her pupils dilated instantly, like a cat's eyes illuminated by a bright light, the black pupils almost filling the entire eye socket. Her neatly combed eyelashes blinked rapidly twice like small fans, as if confirming that she hadn't misheard.

"I even posted on WeChat Moments about snatching a 20,000 RMB LV watch last month... This person buys watches like they're buying cabbages?!"

"When will I be able to hook up with a goddess like that?!"

The saleswoman, her hands trembling, helped Chen Xiao choose a watch and confirm the custom model. Why were there fewer questions about him at the Patek Philippe store? Because his outrageous behavior at Vacheron Constantin had now reached Patek Philippe; everyone knew a big spender had come to the store today. The saleswoman hadn't expected such good fortune to befall her. The other saleswomen were kicking themselves; who would have thought this guy, after his Vacheron Constantin shopping spree, would come to Patek Philippe and go on another shopping spree? And one of each model at that! Was he there to buy watches, or to wholesale?

"Manman, let's go eat first," the middle-aged man said, feeling unsafe in the room.

Just as Chen Xiao was waiting for the saleswoman, he turned his head and looked over. He noticed that the two girls were looking in his direction, so he beckoned them with his finger.

The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he immediately became furious. But before he could react, Zhang Man sprang into action, her high heels clicking as she stomped her foot, her skirt billowing, and she practically jogged towards Chen Xiao, completely ignoring the middle-aged man's livid face. She had truly demonstrated what it meant to be able to come over with just a flick of a finger.

"The opportunity has finally come again! Who cares about that old bastard now!"

When she ran up to Chen Xiao, her cheeks were slightly flushed and her breathing was a little rapid, but she quickly adjusted to an elegant posture and gently tucked her stray hairs behind her ears with her fingers.

The moment Zhang Man rushed out, Li Xiaona's mouth slightly opened. What was going on? Then she heard Chen Xiao laugh and say, "Not bad, just pick one yourself. Come eat with me later."

Wow! Li Xiaona picked one directly and had no qualms about getting rid of the middle-aged man. Who would have thought that this delicate girl would rush up to Chen Xiao in a few strides, panting, and say, "Handsome, I'm here too."

Seeing the middle-aged man's expression of having been cheated on, Chen Xiao said to the two of them, "Choose one yourselves. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give one to each of you."

As the two hesitated over which watch to choose, the saleswoman came over and calculated the total price for Chen Xiao. The six watches he selected, plus the five he wanted to customize, were priced at 13 million yuan for the six watches he could take home that day, while the five customized watches totaled 120 million yuan. Chen Xiao would need to pay 73 million yuan plus a 24 million yuan "queue-jumping fee." Watching Chen Xiao swipe his card to pay 97 million yuan, Zhang Man and Li Xiaona's eyes sparkled—this man was so handsome, and the way he spent money was even more handsome.

"Hurry up and choose, we're about to go eat," Chen Xiao said, deliberately provoking the middle-aged man so that the two young girls could get a bargain. He figured he was doing charity and maybe even saving two fallen women.

The two didn't dare to go too far, each choosing one around 70 yuan. They were being too cautious; for someone of Chen Xiao's wealth, choosing one worth 60 yuan or 600 million yuan made no difference to him.

After paying, Chen Xiao took He Qing upstairs to meet Zhang Ziqian and Wang Ping, but unexpectedly, the two girls followed them. He had only meant to annoy the middle-aged man and didn't intend to do anything, so he turned around and said, "You two can do as you please, you don't need to follow me."

Li Xiaona and Zhang Man were taken aback. They hadn't expected that this handsome man, having spent money, wouldn't even want to have some fun. They had both prepared themselves mentally. They didn't even consider that Chen Xiao wouldn't even look at women of their caliber. He could have plenty of celebrities and socialites willing to serve him with a mere wave of his hand.

Just when Chen Xiao thought they should say goodbye, Zhang Man mustered up her courage and said, "I know we might not be your type. You were just trying to spite Mr. Zhang, but if you don't let us come with you, what if we go back to Mr. Zhang later? Wouldn't you have wasted your money and become a sucker?"

That makes sense. If that were the case, then Mr. Zhang would be the one laughing at himself.

Chen Xiao looked at the two of them, not expecting the girl to be so good at grasping the key points. "Alright, what you said makes some sense. In that case, come with me. After we finish eating, I'll get you a hotel room nearby. You can stay there tonight."

"Yay!" Zhang Man and Li Xiaona beamed with triumphant smiles, extremely excited. As long as this handsome guy didn't dump them, they still had a chance.

Wang Ping and Zhang Ziqian were looking for food on the 5th floor. The most famous restaurant on the 5th floor was definitely 8 Otto e Mezzo Bombana.

Founded by Umberto Bombana, the "King of White Truffles" and a three-Michelin-starred chef, the Hong Kong Island branch has maintained its three-star status for many consecutive years, while the Shanghai branch is its only branch in mainland China.

This is the "canteen" of Shanghai's top billionaires, where a single meal can cost as much as a Hermès bag purchase—but everyone thinks it's worth it.

However, window seats here need to be booked two weeks in advance, and the success rate of a walk-in is approximately 0%. Besides, Zhang Ziqian felt that Chen Xiao probably wouldn't like this; the company has Western food, and the ingredients are much better. (End of Chapter)
