Chapter 290: Chapter 271: High-End Jewelry Worth 5 Million
"This young lady is absolutely stunning. She elevates our products to a whole new level!" a nearby sales associate praised sincerely.
"You salespeople certainly know what to say," Ye Ling chuckled.
However, he actually thought the same thing. ’The jewelry’s beauty is secondary. It’s the person wearing it who’s beautiful—she looks good in anything!’
"Do you like it?" Ye Ling asked Ning Ruoxi.
Ning Ruoxi admired herself in the mirror for a moment, then nodded. "I do like it."
"But... it must be pretty expensive, right?"
Ning Ruoxi turned her gaze to the sales associate and asked.
’Van Cleef & Arpels was an internationally renowned brand, and this was a ’bestseller,’ so she estimated the price would be at least five figures—and definitely not in the ten-to-twenty-thousand range!’
"This model from the Lucky Four-Leaf collection is crafted from 18K gold and was conceived by our professional designers here at Van Cleef & Arpels. The bracelet is priced at fifty thousand, and the necklace is one hundred thousand!"
The sales associate answered.
Jeez!
’So it wasn’t just five figures, it actually broke into the six-figure range?’
"We’ll take it. It can be a little toy for her to play with."
Ye Ling, however, just chuckled and spoke as if it were nothing.
’A little toy?’
Hearing Ye Ling’s words, the sales associate was utterly speechless.
’Hello??’
’Do you have to torture us single people like this?’
"Could you please show us your high jewelry?"
But Ye Ling paid no mind to her thoughts and pressed on.
He really wasn’t just flexing. A hundred and fifty thousand might be a huge sum for an ordinary person, but to him, it was nothing.
’I mean, he’d just dropped nearly fifty thousand on a single meal.’
"Of course."
Hearing Ye Ling’s words, the sales associate’s expression immediately grew serious.
To be honest, she hadn’t paid them much mind when they first walked in. After all, Ye Ling and his companion looked far too young...
’How could someone that young afford anything truly expensive?’
That’s why she had initially introduced the Lucky Four-Leaf collection, which was comparatively cheaper!
But now Ye Ling had mentioned high jewelry...
High jewelry, as the name suggests, was the King of the jewelry world, with prices at least a full tier above that of regular pieces.
"Based on the young lady’s age and aura, I’d recommend our ’Sea Princess’ collection," the sales associate said to Ye Ling.
The Sea Princess collection featured the deep azure of the ocean as its main color, giving off a feeling of pure, dazzling beauty. A single glance told you it was on a completely different level from the Lucky Four-Leaf collection!
"Bring it out for us to try on."
Ye Ling glanced at it and nodded.
’That oceanic azure blue would be a perfect match for Ning Ruoxi!’
"Of course."
The sales associate nodded and brought it out.
With the sales associate’s help, Ning Ruoxi tried on the pieces from the Sea Princess high jewelry collection.
"Truly beautiful."
Ye Ling gazed at Ning Ruoxi. The incredibly pure azure seemed as if it had been custom-made just for her.
Wearing the jewelry from the SEA PRINCESS collection, Ning Ruoxi looked as if she had truly transformed into a princess from the sea!
"This... maybe we should just forget it?"
Ning Ruoxi said, looking at Ye Ling with some hesitation.
She wasn’t some naive, sheltered girl. On the contrary, she was the heiress of Ning International and had a very clear concept of what ’high jewelry’ meant!
’By her estimate, the price for this set was definitely over a million!’
"We only have one set from the SEA PRINCESS high jewelry collection in our store. There are only ten sets like it in the entire world, making it extremely precious. The price for the complete set is five million!"
The sales associate explained, looking toward Ye Ling.
The sales associate wasn’t surprised by Ning Ruoxi’s reaction.
This SEA PRINCESS set had been in their store for over half a year, yet it remained unsold. Didn’t that say it all?
It was truly, prohibitively expensive, to the point that the average person couldn’t bear to make the purchase!
You could imagine, really. The people who shopped at Van Cleef & Arpels were usually big-shot bosses...
People shouldn’t be too naive. Anyone who can become a boss is definitely not an extravagant and wasteful person; they’re always thinking about costs and returns.
For example, when bringing a woman to buy jewelry, they’d consider if she was worth that much money. Generally, a few hundred thousand was about the limit.
As for something in the millions...
Most women would be better off not even dreaming about it!
More than ninety percent of bosses wouldn’t spend that kind of money. After all, they’re just looking for a woman to have some fun with, not someone to spend the rest of their life with...
Spending millions? Are they a philanthropist or something?
The sales associate didn’t ask for Ning Ruoxi’s opinion, turning instead to Ye Ling. She knew he was the one who would make the final call.
"Ring it up."
Ye Ling casually handed her his bank card, his actions decisive and without a trace of hesitation.
Although the system’s current mission only required him to spend five hundred thousand, he genuinely felt the SEA PRINCESS collection was perfect for Ning Ruoxi!
He had said it before. Now that Ning Ruoxi was his woman, she had to have everything other women had—and hers had to be even better.
Clearly, those weren’t just empty words from Ye Ling!
"Right away."
The sales associate immediately took the card, as if afraid Ye Ling would change his mind. She swiftly ran it through the POS machine before handing it back to him. "Please enter your PIN!"
Ye Ling casually typed in the PIN. With a WHIRRING and CLICKING sound, the transaction went through, and the receipt began to print.
"Thank you for your patronage of Van Cleef & Arpels. As your purchase has exceeded five million, we would like to present you with our highest-tier VIP card. It is valid globally and entitles you to exclusive VIP treatment."
