93: Tianzi No. 1 Private Room

“This is!”

The receptionist’s pupils contracted.

Then, he respectfully took the Supreme Black Card, meticulously examining it from front to back for quite a while before letting out a long breath.

“Please wait, I will immediately call our Manager over.”

The Supreme Black Card was no longer something a lowly receptionist like him could handle.

Only the Manager was qualified to host such a high-level client.

Moreover, Shen Xi’s Supreme Black Card was not just a Star Zenith Department Store black card; it was a black card for all stores under Ye Zirou’s commercial empire. As long as it was Ye Zirou’s property, presenting this Supreme Black Card would grant the highest discount and the most esteemed service.

Before long, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire rushed over, led by the receptionist.

“Esteemed guest, I am truly sorry. Our humble store has been remiss in its hospitality and has kept you waiting!”

The middle-aged man was the Manager.

He personally served Shen Xi a cup of tea, his eyes burning with fervor, as if looking at a god of wealth.

“It’s fine, your hospitality has been quite good.”

Shen Xi waved his hand, signaling to the Manager that there was no need to be so polite.

“No, no, no, we have not hosted you well. How can we let you view the shopping list in the main hall? If you don’t mind, how about we go to a private room to leisurely browse? In fact, if you wish, I can assign a dedicated person to bring everything on the list, item by item, for you to view on-site.”

The treatment for a Supreme Black Card was indeed excellent.

Normally, customers coming to Star Zenith Department Store would view the shopping list in the main hall.

Only when a customer selected an item would the receptionist bring it to the customer for a close-up experience.

This method was the most efficient and saved the most manpower.

But because Shen Xi had a Supreme Black Card, he could view the shopping list in a private room. He could even request that everything on the shopping list be brought to the private room.

One must know, this was not just one or two items. From Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques to weapons, and various Materials, there were at least a thousand different types of items, big and small.

If he were to look at them one by one, it might take a day and a night to finish.

Furthermore, there was no guarantee that Shen Xi would be satisfied and purchase them.

Yet, even so, the Manager still had to grant Shen Xi this privilege.

“Since that’s the case, then let’s do as you say!”

Shen Xi did not refuse.

Viewing the items he needed up close was definitely much better than analyzing and researching them on a shopping list.

Many items were described in glowing terms, but their actual effect was often vastly different from expectations. This situation was also very common.

The so-called false advertising, even in this world, had already begun to emerge.

Subsequently, Shen Xi and the Two People, led by the Manager, walked upstairs.

The first floor of Star Zenith Department Store usually served casual customers.

The second floor, however, required one to be a VIP; only those who had spent a certain amount at Star Zenith Department Store could go to the second floor.

As for the third floor, that was even more extraordinary. Only powerful and influential big figures were qualified to ascend to the third floor.

And the Manager directly led Shen Xi and his group to the third floor.

“Quickly, prepare the Sky-Class Number One Private Room! We have an esteemed guest!”

The Manager immediately shouted at the service staff on the third floor.

Upon hearing this, the service staff dared not delay.

The Sky-Class Number One Private Room was the best room in Star Zenith Department Store; only big figures were qualified to enter.

Then, the Manager smiled obsequiously at Shen Xi: “Esteemed guest, please wait a moment. Once the service staff has prepared the tea, snacks, and other items, we can enter the private room.”

Shen Xi nodded, indicating his agreement.

Meanwhile, the fatty brothers, the Two People, curiously surveyed the environment of the third floor.

If the first floor was resplendent, then the third floor was simply a fairyland on earth. Whether it was the decor or the accessories, even the strength of the service staff far surpassed that of the first floor.

Any random service staff member was at least at the Minor Completion of Vital Energy.

This was unimaginable in other places.

Just as the Two People were waiting, an untimely voice suddenly rang out.

“Oh? What kind of person requires Manager Wang to personally accompany them and even be invited into the Sky-Class Number One Private Room?”

The speaker was a young man dressed like a dandy.

The young man’s name was Xu Shirui, and his father was one of the Senators of the Council.

Today, he had just achieved a Breakthrough to the Minor Completion of Vital Energy Realm and planned to come to Star Zenith Department Store to purchase a suitable weapon.

As the son of a Senator, he was naturally qualified to enter the third floor, but he had not yet been able to enter a Sky-Class private room, only a Profound-Class private room.

He was just about to choose the weapon he needed when he heard Manager Wang’s shout.

This made him somewhat curious. Even his Senator father was not qualified to enter the Sky-Class Number One Private Room. Who exactly could make Manager Wang so respectful?

With this doubt, he came out to watch the commotion.

He then discovered that Manager Wang’s so-called esteemed guest was a young man not yet twenty years old.

That would have been fine, but the young man also had two other people with him who were clearly bumpkins, having never been to the third floor, otherwise they wouldn’t be curiously looking around everywhere.

Realizing this, Xu Shirui was immediately filled with rage.

He was already over twenty years old and still needed to rely on his father’s reputation to step onto the third floor.

What virtue or ability did this brat in front of him possess to also come to the third floor, and even to the Sky-Class Number One Private Room?

And the most infuriating thing was that these three brats clearly had no background, otherwise, how could they be wearing roadside stall clothes and looking like Liu Laolao visiting the Grand View Garden, as if they had never seen the world?

Jealousy made Xu Shirui’s face contorted. He then couldn’t help but speak, probing the origins of Shen Xi and the Two People.

Xu Shirui was not a fool. Although he suspected the identity and background of Shen Xi and the Two People, the other party could, after all, enter the Sky-Class Number One Private Room. What if they were some low-key big figure?

If he offended the other party, he would not have a good outcome.

“Isn’t this Young Master Xu? Why didn’t you say anything when you came to the store? I wasn’t even able to personally receive you.”

Manager Wang was indeed a businessman, his main skill being to speak appropriately to different people.

How could he not know that Xu Shirui had come to Star Zenith Department Store? It was just that the other party’s status was not enough to warrant his personal reception.

If it were Xu Shirui’s father, that would be a different story.

“There’s no need for pleasantries between you and me. Who are these three?”

Xu Shirui spoke again, probing Shen Xi and the Two People.

As he spoke, he took a few steps closer.

And with this closer proximity, his brows couldn’t help but furrow.

He hadn’t noticed it before, but as the distance shortened, he keenly perceived that the fatty was only at the Lesser Blood Refinement Realm, and Wang Lin wasn’t even a Martial Artist. The Two People were pitifully weak!
