With that, Tan Hua strode toward the elevators, her high heels CLICK-CLACKING on the floor.
Since she lived at National Gold Mansion, her commute to work was only five minutes.
Tan Hua arrived at the store right on the dot.
Her colleagues at the store were all giving her strange looks.
"Huahua, over here."
Xu Ying waved Tan Hua over and led her into the locker room.
"Yingying, why is everyone looking at me so strangely?"
Tan Hua asked curiously as she changed into her uniform.
"Girl, did you not look at your phone at all yesterday?"
"You have no idea how crazy it got in the International Gold Center’s sales associates group chat yesterday."
"Every sales associate in the mall now knows your boyfriend bought you a 1.7 million Roger Dubuis."
"So now, everyone is green with envy."
Seeing Tan Hua’s clueless expression, Xu Ying knew that Qi Sheng must have really worn her out last night.
Otherwise, Tan Hua wouldn’t be so surprised today. It was obvious she hadn’t even had time to look at her phone yesterday.
"By the way, where’s that Roger Dubuis of yours?"
Xu Ying couldn’t hide her disappointment when she saw that Tan Hua was still wearing her Cartier Ballon Bleu.
’That was a 1.7 million watch, and Qi Sheng bought it for Tan Hua just like that!’
’That kind of staggering wealth made even Xu Ying shudder.’
’Forget 1.7 million—if a man gave her a 170,000 watch, she’d happily throw herself into his arms.’
’There’s just no comparison, none at all!’
"A watch that expensive should definitely be kept at home."
As Tan Hua recalled the moment Qi Sheng bought her the watch, her heart swelled with sweetness.
Even the unpleasant memories of how that certain someone had "bullied" her didn’t seem to matter anymore.
’If another girl received a 1.7 million watch, who knows what lengths she would go to.’
When Tan Hua finished changing and came out of the locker room,
her other colleagues immediately gathered around, all chattering at once, eager for the latest gossip.
"Huahua, what does it feel like to wear a 1.7 million watch?"
"My God, that’s an entire apartment in Chengdu on your wrist! I couldn’t even dream of that."
"Huahua, when you get a chance, you should have Qi Sheng organize a get-together. Tell him to bring some of his rich friends. I definitely won’t forget it if you do."
The store manager, Miduo, couldn’t take it anymore and snapped with a cold expression.
"That’s enough. It’s working hours. If I hear any more gossiping, you can forget about your rotation in the handbag section this month."
Seeing the manager lose her temper, the sales associates all quieted down.
But only they knew what they were really thinking.
A few of the sales associates who considered themselves quite attractive were even thinking of finding a chance to secretly get in touch with Qi Sheng.
’Who says a man with a girlfriend won’t play the field?’
’Even if they couldn’t be his long-term girlfriend, being a temporary one would be fine too.’
’It’s all just sleeping around, so why not do it with someone tall, rich, and handsome like Qi Sheng? Isn’t that better?’
Seeing her colleagues, with whom she’d always gotten along, now secretly plotting to steal her boyfriend left a bad taste in Tan Hua’s mouth.
"Huahua, don’t pay any attention to them. They should take a good look in the mirror before thinking they can compete with you for a man."
Xu Ying comforted Tan Hua. "Honestly, the reason everyone’s acting so different has to do with the wealth Qi Sheng suddenly put on display."
"That’s just how society is. Everyone is obsessed with getting rich, but all the avenues are blocked."
"For women, especially for sales associates like us, the easiest way to get rich is to use our looks to find a wealthy man."
"Huahua, you’re so lucky. You managed to land a real catch like Qi Sheng. Don’t forget me when you’re rich and famous!"
Tan Hua was in a good mood. Seeing Xu Ying joking around, she smiled and nodded. "Don’t worry, I’ll always have a spot reserved for you as the family maid."
"Tch, stingy."
Xu Ying secretly rolled her eyes and went back to busily calling her clients.
...
「National Gold Mansion, The Gym」
Qi Sheng looked at the somewhat weary Zong Rui and asked with concern, "You look like you haven’t been resting well."
"I was just trying to make up sessions for my other clients. I haven’t taken a single day off this whole National Day week, just making up classes every day. But I’m finally done."
Zong Rui said languidly, doing a chest stretch.
Her already tight sports bra suddenly looked as if it were about to burst.
"Let’s just do one session today. You should go home and get some proper rest."
Qi Sheng also noticed a few men glaring at him with dissatisfaction.
But when their gazes swept over the Roger Dubuis on his wrist, their expressions changed drastically.
They quickly averted their eyes, afraid of attracting his attention.
To those in the know, a man who could afford a Roger Dubuis with a retail price of 1.58 million had a social status and financial power far beyond their reach.
With Zong Rui’s looks, being noticed by a man like that was as good as a declaration of his claim on her.
