32: Your bank card has reached the limit

After buying clothes, Li Youqian went straight to the fourth floor, which was the domain of watches.

As for why Li Youqian was so familiar with this mall?

Come on, haven't you seen a pig run even if you haven't eaten pork?

With so many Douyin shop explorers, he just watched a few more videos and remembered it.

For watches, Li Youqian already had his target: the Patek Philippe - Celestial.

As the saying goes, 'the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches.' Every successful person's wrist is indispensable for a famous watch.

What they wear is not a watch, but a symbol of wealth and status.

In the current watch industry, Patek Philippe firmly holds the top spot, with Rolex and Richard Mille as its left and right guardians, followed by brands like Vacheron Constantin.

"Welcome to Patek Philippe, do you have an appointment?"

For top luxury brands like Patek Philippe, customers usually make online appointments for products in advance and then come to the store to view and pay for the watch once it arrives.

"No appointment. Do you have any Celestial series watches available now?"

Li Youqian shook his head and said, he genuinely didn't know that buying a watch required an advance appointment.

"Yes, sir, we just happen to have a 6104G-001 in our store, but this watch was recovered by us, so the price is relatively high."

Are you even speaking like a human being?

Recovered? That means it's second-hand or even N+1 hand. Why is this thing getting more and more expensive?

The salesperson immediately saw Li Youqian's confusion and explained with a smile:

"It's like this, sir, the 6104G-001 Celestial watch has been discontinued, so the recovery price is higher than the public price."

Ah, this... he suffered from a lack of knowledge, but Li Youqian was thick-skinned and quickly adjusted.

"Bring it over for me to see. If there's no problem, I'll pay on the spot."

Hearing this, the smile on the salesperson's face grew even brighter. If this order went through, her commission would be at least a hundred thousand.

"Alright, please follow me."

Li Youqian followed the salesperson to a display counter, where the watches were dazzling.

Li Youqian instantly spotted the Celestial he liked, with a deep blue dial covered inDiamond, combining beauty and elegance.

"Sir, this 6104G-001 has an 18K white gold case, and the dial..."

Although Li Youqian didn't understand what the salesperson was saying, he still pretended to listen attentively. This was a typical nouveau riche trying to appear profound, forcing a pretense where none was needed.

You see those rich people buying all sorts of things, but if you ask them what's so good about it, they'll have no idea.

Of course, everyone has their specialty. One's status outside is self-given, and pretending to understand is always better than knowing nothing at all.

"Alright, this is the one. How much is it?"

When the salesperson was almost done with her introduction, Li Youqian couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore, mainly because his stomach started protesting.

"Sir, the price of this watch is 5.5 million, and I can give you a discount of 200,000."

5.3 million, this price was acceptable. Li Youqian had checked the relevant prices online before coming, and while this wasn't the best price, he wasn't being ripped off.

"Okay, swipe the card."

Let it be a bit more expensive, it doesn't matter. What he was buying was peace of mind, at least it was genuine.

If he bought a fake for two or three million and wore it, that would be truly being penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Li Youqian took out his bank card, mimicking the domineering CEOs in TV dramas, and swiped the card and entered his password with a practiced coolness.

"Beep, payment failed. Your bank card has a limit."

WTF! Why was there a limit now!

Li Youqian's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and his toes were so embarrassed they could have dug out a four-bedroom, three-living room apartment.

"Uh... Sir, would you like to try another card?"

The salesperson also couldn't keep her composure at this moment; the smile she always maintained on her lips twitched slightly. What kind of eccentric was this?!

Did the security guard downstairs not properly verify assets? How did they let such a person in!

"Haha, this brother must have just been let out by his family, right? Why don't you let me swipe my card first?"

"Let's get acquainted, my surname is Zhou, and my name is Yushen."

A young man in a white suit walked over with a smile, handed over his black card, and then greeted Li Youqian with a smile.

"Uh, hello, my name is Li Youqian."

Li Youqian looked at the very handsome man in front of him, filled with both confusion and a touch of gratitude. There were still many good people in this world!

"So it's Mr. Li, a pleasure to meet you."

Zhou Yushen's smile deepened after hearing Li Youqian's self-introduction. As expected...

"Mr. Li, this card of yours is just a regular Class I card, so generally, the limit won't be too high."

"Mr. Li can go to the bank to apply for a black card; it's quite convenient for both travel and daily life."

(Actually, applying for a black card isn't too difficult. Many banks now have their own black cards, of course, excluding poor people like me...)

Li Youqian suddenly understood. He used to spend less than fifty thousand a year, so he naturally didn't know that bank cards had limits.

Speaking of which, although he had become rich with the system, he had been a 'mud-legged' for over twenty years, and many of his concepts and perceptions couldn't change overnight. This was also to pursue realism as much as possible, please understand.

"Today, I owe a lot to Mr. Zhou. If it weren't for you, it would have been a real joke."

Li Youqian didn't think much of it. The person in front of him was clearly a rich young master. For them, a few million was no different from a few dollars.

When he went out to buy groceries, he often encountered people whose phones had no signal or who forgot their money. When he did, he would also help pay, and afterward, they would usually pay him back.

"Mr. Li, what are you saying? There are always oversights when you're out and about. It's good to help when you can."

Zhou Yushen waved his hand and said generously, looking as if he often did good deeds.

"Then let's add each other as friends. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow when the bank opens. As for this watch, let's leave it with Mr. Zhou for now."

Li Youqian was also a man of principle. Although the other person had helped pay, he certainly wouldn't take the item, as it was too valuable.

After exchanging contact information, Li Youqian wanted to treat him to a meal, but Zhou Yushen declined, citing that he had something to attend to.

"As expected, his surname is Li. Things are getting more and more interesting."

After Li Youqian left, Zhou Yushen's spring-breeze-like smile instantly vanished. Did you think he was doing good deeds?

Morality and compassion, for a top-tier rich second generation like him, were things that would make people laugh.

The reason he helped Li Youqian pay was not because he was full of compassion and morality, but because Li Youqian looked very much like an influential figure.

Moreover, that influential figure had lost a son years ago and had not found him to this day.

If Li Youqian truly was that person's descendant, then his actions today would naturally create a good connection, as those who wanted to curry favor with that person could line up from the capital to Shanghai.

If Li Youqian was not that person's descendant, then it would just be considered a good deed, and having more friends opens up more paths.

(This is to set the stage for the system's rewards. Although the system has no 'quality,' its professional quality is still excellent.)

(The protagonist is not perfect; he is just an ordinary person, a nouveau riche who suddenly became wealthy, so many of his behaviors and manners cannot change immediately. This is also to pursue realism as much as possible, please understand.)
