C8 Give Me the Most Expensive One!

Shen Hao stood in front of the full-length mirror in his office, scrutinizing his reflection with care.

"Absolutely perfect!"

He admired his image in the mirror, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"The only issue is that this outfit looks a bit shoddy."

Shen Hao adjusted his collar with a slight frown.

He took out his phone and called Zhou Aihua, the head of the Finance Department.

"Director Shen, how can I assist you?" came Zhou Aihua's deferential voice over the phone.

"How much liquid capital do we have available right now?"

Shen Hao inquired, phone in hand.

"Just a moment, Director Shen, I'll check right away," Zhou Aihua responded, her fingers flying over the computer keyboard.

Shortly thereafter, Zhou Aihua updated him, "Director Shen, some merchants and companies have already paid this year's rent. We have 130 million in liquid assets available in the company's account."

Shen Hao's eyes sparkled at the news.

"Supervisor Zhou, transfer 30 million to my bank account," he instructed.

"Right away, Director Shen! The money will be transferred to your bank card immediately," Zhou Aihua assured him, promptly executing the transaction.

After ending the call, Shen Hao waited briefly before a notification appeared on his phone screen.

"Han Country Binhai Bank: Your account has completed an interbank transfer of 30,000,000 RMB. Current balance: 30,048,357.98 RMB."

Shen Hao pocketed his phone, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

Now that he had the funds, he wouldn't shortchange himself!

Leaving the chairman's office behind, Shen Hao headed straight to the parking lot.

He got into his sports car and sped toward Florence Street in Binhai's new district.

Florence Street was a high-end luxury shopping boulevard in Binhai's burgeoning new district.

Hermès, Gucci, Versace...

Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany...

Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin...

All of Binhai's luxury boutiques were concentrated here.

Without a net worth in the millions, most people would hesitate to even browse.

Shen Hao parked his sports car and leisurely walked along the opulent Florence Street.

Surveying the opulent shops lining both sides of the street, Shen Hao was momentarily at a loss for where to begin. It was his first visit to this high-end luxury shopping district.

After a brief pause to gather his thoughts, Shen Hao decided to seek assistance. His eyes scanned the bustling street before settling on a particular individual.

A young man stood by the sidewalk, seemingly awaiting someone. He was tall and strikingly handsome, though his brows were knit with a touch of melancholy.

Approaching the man, Shen Hao greeted him, "Hello, my name is Shen Hao. May I have the pleasure of making your acquaintance?"

The man looked surprised, then quickly responded, "Hello, my name is Lin Jiadong! How can I assist you?"

Lin Jiadong regarded Shen Hao with a puzzled expression, unsure of the reason for his approach.

Shen Hao gestured towards the array of shops and inquired, "Are you familiar with this area?"

Lin Jiadong replied with slight uncertainty, "Somewhat, yes."

A smile broke across Shen Hao's face as he explained, "I'm looking to purchase some clothing, but all I see around here are jewelry stores. I was hoping you could guide me."

Understanding dawned on Lin Jiadong's face. "Ah, I see. If you walk about 200 meters that way, you'll find a selection of clothing stores!"

After thanking Lin Jiadong, Shen Hao made his way to the luxury clothing boutiques. He chose one at random and stepped inside.

The shop was quiet, devoid of customers, save for a few elegant sales associates who were quietly chatting behind the counter. Shen Hao's entrance drew their attention.

Their eyes sparkled as they took in his calm demeanor and handsome features, clearly captivated. However, upon noticing Shen Hao's attire, the initial glimmer in their eyes faded slightly.

"He doesn't seem like he can afford anything in here!"

"But he sure is good-looking!"

"His stature and presence are quite impressive!"

"Never mind, I'll go see what he needs."

One of the sales associates approached Shen Hao with a warm smile and asked, "Sir, how may I assist you today?"

Shen Hao regarded the woman before him, noting the line of text emblazoned on her prominent name badge.

Shop Assistant: Wang Jiaqi.

"Hello, I'm looking to purchase some clothes."

Shen Hao's lips curled into a smile as he spoke, "Could you make some recommendations?"

Wang Jiaqi's face lit up with a professional smile as she responded, "Certainly, please come with me."

Led by Wang Jiaqi, Shen Hao followed her to a section of the store.

"Sir, these are the latest Armani styles. What do you think of this piece?" Wang Jiaqi asked, pointing to a set of sportswear for Shen Hao to examine.

Shen Hao glanced at the indicated sportswear, his brow furrowing slightly. Despite their nearly thousand-dollar price tags, they seemed indistinguishable from other sportswear on the market. He couldn't discern the distinctive Armani flair. It appeared to be the lowest tier within the Armani range.

Shen Hao gave a slight shake of his head and said, "Let's look at something else; these don't suit me."

Wang Jiaqi paused, her gaze flickering briefly before she said, "Very well, sir, this way, please."

She guided Shen Hao to another area where the clothing clearly represented a step up in quality.

"Sir, these are from Armani's high-end ready-to-wear collection. Are you interested in making a purchase?"

Wang Jiaqi looked into Shen Hao's eyes, gauging his reaction. The least expensive items in this high-end collection started in the thousands, with some reaching into the tens of thousands—a range not affordable for the average shopper. But Shen Hao was no average shopper, was he?

"I still feel these clothes aren't quite right for me," Shen Hao said, shaking his head with a nonchalant tone.

Wang Jiaqi's eyes flickered as she replied softly, "Then I'm afraid we don't have anything suitable for you in our store."

She sighed inwardly after speaking. So, he was just browsing after all?

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao's brow creased, and he said firmly, "Are you saying you don't have anything better?"

"Of course, we do!" Wang Jiaqi's eyes betrayed a hint of disdain. "But I'm afraid they might be beyond your budget."

At Wang Jiaqi's words, Shen Hao's expression grew stern.

"You needn't worry about that, just take me to see it!"

Wang Jiaqi gave Shen Hao a look that carried a hint of annoyance.

"I hope you're not making fun of me. Follow me."

With that, Wang Jiaqi led Shen Hao to a special display area.

Displayed here were Armani's finest and most expensive garments!

Each piece was priced at no less than 100,000!

"Sir, are you certain you can afford these?"

Wang Jiaqi gave Shen Hao a once-over, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Random mission: The saleswoman's taunt!"

"Host, you're faced with the saleswoman's deliberate taunt. Please make your choice!"

"Option 1: Tease the saleswoman back. Reward: +1 to sense of humor, +50 to the saleswoman's favorability!"

"Option 2: Have her show you the most expensive outfit in the store! The reward is 80 million yuan, and +50 to the saleswoman's favorability!"
