33: Chapter 33, Step Four: Shopping Spree!

Time quickly reached 7:30 PM.

Qin Yi and his companion had gorged themselves, and finally, under the cold and hateful gaze of Wang Hao, they stood up and left the Sinan Feast.

After this meal, Qin Yi and Xu Qian had become much more familiar with each other.

The two walked side by side, just like a couple out for a stroll after finishing work and dinner.

However, apart from the occasional brush of their arms, there were no overly intimate actions.

Of course, it wasn't that Qin Yi didn't dare to make a move, but he was worried that being too impatient might backfire—what if her favorability rating decreased instead of increasing?

He certainly didn't want to be plagued by bad luck for 24 hours...

As they strolled and chatted, they entered the Chanel boutique.

...

"Sir, you have excellent taste. This perfume is the limited edition Gardenia fragrance that our Chanel has just launched globally. The scent of gardenia is fresh and elegant, similar to the scent of cream; it is rich but not cloying. Additionally, this perfume has top notes of orange blossom and green leaves; middle notes of gardenia, tuberose, jasmine, and fruit; and base notes that feature a Fusion of coconut, vanilla, musk, sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli..."

Qin Yi hadn't actually paid attention to what the sales Young Miss said. The main reason he had taken a liking to this bottle of perfume at first glance was simply because the label had the words 'Gardenia' written on it.

His mother loved gardenias the most. Back before they sold their villa, the yard had been filled with them. Every year when this season arrived, the garden would be filled with the fragrance of gardenias.

Although the villa was sold now, when they were about to move, his mother had transplanted a few gardenia plants to the yard of their old home, which served as a small consolation.

The sales Young Miss had rambled on for a while, but she didn't actually think the two people in front of her would buy it. The only reason she was willing to put effort into the introduction was entirely due to her professional service attitude, and, of course, Qin Yi's young and handsome face...

After all, this perfume wasn't cheap. Even though this bottle was only 7.5 ounces, which is 225 milliliters, the price was a staggering 24,843 huaxia currency.

At this price, even in a place like Magic City where the wealthy are as common as ox hairs, it was unlikely that many people would buy it.

Furthermore, looking at the two of them, especially the girl's attire, they didn't really look like they could afford it. As for this gentleman, he seemed to have some means, but the clothes he was wearing were last year's styles...

Seeing Qin Yi daze off, Xu Qian gently poked his arm. Qin Yi finally snapped back to reality from his memories, smiled slightly at the sales Young Miss, and said nonchalantly, "That's the one. Wrap it up."

The sales Young Miss was a bit stunned; Qin Yi's answer had exceeded her expectations. After a moment of hesitation, she hurriedly replied, "Oh, very well, sir. Now, would you like to pay with cash, card, or mobile payment is also acceptable."

"Let's go with card. But no rush, I'll browse a bit more, and we can check out together later!"

As Qin Yi said this, he walked toward the skincare section.

Upon hearing this, the sales Young Miss's interest immediately piqued even more, and she immediately followed close behind.

"Sir, are you looking to buy some more skincare products?"

Qin Yi gave a hum of agreement. He didn't know much about skincare products, and looking at the various bottles and jars of all sizes in front of him, he was immediately stumped.

So, he looked at Xu Qian beside him and asked, "Qianqian, you must use skincare products too, right? Care to give some advice?"

How could Xu Qian have ever used such high-end skincare products? The most expensive thing she had ever used was just SK-II toner from the island nation.

However, since Young Master Qin had asked her, she couldn't just be ignorant about everything. Otherwise, her accompanying Young Master Qin to go shopping would become a joke...

After thinking for a moment, she asked in return, "I wonder if your mother's skin is oily, dry, or combination? Or, which brands of skincare products does she usually use?"

Qin Yi shrugged, looking bewildered, and shook his head with a bitter smile. "If I knew, I wouldn't need to ask you..."

The sales Young Miss listened to their conversation from the side and realized that this gentleman must be buying these as a gift for his mother.

Thus, the sales Young Miss immediately stepped forward and smiled, continuing the conversation, "Sir, you are truly filial. I think your mother could try our Chanel's newly launched advanced Black Gold series skincare products."

"Sir, Young Miss, please come this way..." The sales Young Miss said, guiding the two to the other side, and began introducing them one by one...

The sales Young Miss rambled on for a long time, finally summarizing, "This is our full set of Chanel Black Gold series skincare products. The full set includes the Essential Toner, Essential Brightening Toner, Revitalizing Serum, Brightening Serum, Night Serum, Luxury Foundation, Essential Moisturizing Cream, Essential Light Cream, Brightening Cream, Repair Cream..."

"It provides a one-stop solution for all skin problems, focusing on anti-aging, repair, and brightening. Whether it's a young girl in her twenties or a middle-aged or elderly woman, this advanced Black Gold series can perfectly solve all issues..."

With all this talk of toners and creams, Qin Yi was left completely bewildered, but Xu Qian, standing on the side, was quite moved by it.

She secretly calculated in her heart that when her bonus arrived at the end of the month, she would definitely come back to buy a set to properly take care of her skin...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qin Yi suddenly spoke up: "Hmm, sounds good. This... Black Gold series, get me two sets, and wrap them up separately."

Upon hearing this, the sales Young Miss was instantly overjoyed. Never mind two sets; even just one set cost over thirty thousand. Calculating at a 5% sales commission, she would get at least 1,500.

Two sets meant three thousand, plus the limited edition perfume from before, she could earn over five thousand in commission at once.

However, just as the sales Young Miss was overcome with joy, Xu Qian whispered a reminder to Qin Yi from the side: "Young Master Qin, one set is enough to last until the end of the year. Besides, what if your mother isn't used to it? Wouldn't buying two sets be a waste?"

Although Xu Qian knew that Young Master Qin was wealthy and a set of cosmetics costing tens of thousands was just the price of a bottle of wine to him.

But money shouldn't be wasted. Moreover, there's no such thing as one set of skincare products that solves everything.

A sales Young Miss's mouth is a lying ghost.

Xu Qian didn't want Young Master Qin to be swindled by this glib sales Young Miss...

However, when Xu Qian said this, the sales Young Miss was immediately displeased.

In the sales Young Miss's eyes, this behavior of Xu Qian's was purely cutting off someone's source of income.

However, in front of Qin Yi, the actual spender, no matter how unhappy the sales Young Miss was, she couldn't show it too much.

After all, the two of them were the ones together.

Although the two didn't look like they were boyfriend and girlfriend, they were a handsome man and a beautiful woman after all; perhaps this man had some designs on this girl?

If she were to lash out at this woman now, it might upset the main client, and if the main client got upset, wouldn't all her hard work be in vain?

Therefore, the sales Young Miss could only suppress her anger, smiling as she looked at Qin Yi, waiting for his response.

Who knew, at this moment, Qin Yi looked at Xu Qian with a smile and said softly, "It's fine, the other set is for you."

Xu Qian's mouth formed an 'O' shape. She looked at Qin Yi in astonishment, pointed at herself as if to confirm she hadn't misheard, and asked in return, "For me? Why?"

"Ahem, what do you mean why? You've worked hard accompanying me for dinner and shopping. Besides, you were bullied for no reason during dinner earlier. Consider this little gift as an apology from me. Furthermore, didn't you hear what this sales Young Miss said? This skincare set is suitable for all ages and can solve all skin problems..."

As Qin Yi said this, he looked at the sales Young Miss and gave her a wink, then continued with a questioning tone to confirm with her, "Is that right?"

The sales Young Miss immediately understood. She hurriedly grabbed a trial sample of lotion, pulled Xu Qian's hand with a beaming smile, poured some lotion, and applied it to the back of Xu Qian's hand. While applying it, she enthusiastically said, "Yes, yes, yes. Young Miss, you are truly so lucky. If I had a boyfriend like this gentleman, I'd wake up laughing in my sleep..."

"Uh, no... you've misunderstood, I'm not..."

Seeing that the sales Young Miss had misunderstood their relationship, Xu Qian hurriedly tried to deny it.

But the sales Young Miss had already decided that the handsome man in front of her was likely pursuing this girl named Qianqian.

Therefore, the sales Young Miss didn't give Xu Qian any chance to explain at all, fearing that if Xu Qian insisted on explaining, it would spoil the handsome guy's mood.

Thus, the sales Young Miss hurriedly changed the subject: "Young Miss, this lotion of ours feels especially comfortable after application, it absorbs very easily, and the scent is very faint. It's not greasy, suitable for all skin types. With long-term use, it can also brighten, whiten, and fade fine lines, making the skin smoother and more tender... Why don't you take a smell?"

Xu Qian looked at the enthusiastic sales Young Miss in front of her, then looked at Qin Yi, blushing a little out of embarrassment. She had no choice but to pretend to smell the lotion to ease her awkwardness.

Witnessing the 'professionalism' of the sales Young Miss, Qin Yi couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in his heart.

Adhering to the principle of 'not bothering two masters for one task,' in the time that followed, Qin Yi purchased two handbags, two sets of women's dresses, and two pairs of women's leather shoes in this Chanel boutique. Half of them were naturally for his mother, and the other half were for Xu Qian.

After all, besides buying gifts for his parents, Qin Yi also had the important task of increasing Xu Qian's favorability rating. In Qin Yi's view, shopping and buying things was likely the easiest way to increase a member of the opposite sex's favorability.

Although Xu Qian declined repeatedly, she was ultimately no match for Qin Yi's good intentions, and naturally, there was the strong assist from the sales Young Miss on the side!

However, when Qin Yi finished paying and walked out of the Chanel boutique carrying bags of all sizes, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
