"I'll accompany…" Su Wan hesitated for a moment, as calling Jiang Cheng her boss now seemed a bit too soon.
"A friend is here to look at watches."
Lin Ru glanced Jiang Cheng up and down.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was both young and unfamiliar, and in their circle, there were plenty of handsome men.
A handsome face wasn't the most important thing; what attracted them was only the scent of money.
Jiang Cheng looked at the somewhat familiar face in front of him and activated the friendliness value scanning system.
"Name: Lin Ru"
"Age: 27 years old"
"Height: 165 cm"
"Looks: 90"
"Figure: 88"
"Privacy: 78"
"Friendliness Value: 20 (Passerby Status)"
At this moment, Jiang Cheng finally remembered who she was—a second-tier female celebrity.
However, after checking her privacy value, Jiang Cheng instantly lost interest.
It was the middle-aged man beside Lin Ru who, after sizing up Su Wan, immediately had a glint in his eyes.
Although Su Wan and Lin Ru were similar in looks and equally matched in temperament, when compared to a panda, Su Wan naturally had the upper hand.
The middle-aged man looked at Su Wan with interest and asked Lin Ru, "Ru'er, who is this?"
"Oh, Brother Wang, she played a small maid by my side in a historical drama I filmed before. Her name, I think it was something 'Wan'." Lin Ru introduced Su Wan with a condescending attitude and a look of disdain.
In her opinion, Su Wan was not in the same league as her.
When she took on a role, she could at least be a second female lead, and the investor's boss would even take her to buy watches.
But if it were Su Wan, to get a role, she would not only receive various minor supporting roles but also have to take turns accompanying and sleeping with people to act.
Wang Hai pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to Su Wan: "Hello, my name is Wang Hai, and I specialize in film investment. If you need to film in the future, you can find me."
Su Wan saw Lin Ru's condescending manner and smiled indifferently.
Over the years, she had experienced too many setbacks and hardships, and because of this, her psychological endurance had become exceptionally strong.
In their circle, reality was this cruel: when you were unknown, others couldn't even remember your name.
And when you suddenly became famous, you would find many inexplicable "good friends" suddenly appearing.
These good friends would not only try to gain popularity from you on various occasions, but some thicker-skinned ones would even actively @ you on Weibo.
Su Wan politely took the business card and said indifferently, "Thank you, then I won't disturb you anymore."
Xiao Chen, seeing that they had finished talking, immediately asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you have any specific goals today?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head: "No, I'll buy whatever looks suitable. Both women's and men's watches are fine. Which watches are in stock?"
Listening to this, Xiao Chen pointed to the watch Lin Ru and her companions were looking at: "The 7122 series that those two are looking at, the rose gold and white gold models are in stock, and a few other models are also available. Popular models like the starry sky series require reservations and waiting."
"I don't know much about these. How much is the one they're looking at?" Jiang Cheng asked."
"The official price for the 7122 series women's watch is 380,000. If you buy it now, it can generally be sold at the official price."
Seeing this price, Jiang Cheng instantly lost even the desire to look.
He should buy something better for his mother, right? A 300,000 watch is indeed not considered very good among Patek Philippe watches.
He shook his head: "Check if there are any women's watches starting from a million. Don't bring out the cheap ones."
Seeing Jiang Cheng ask for watches over a million, Xiao Chen immediately nodded and repeatedly responded, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment, I'll bring them over for you."
"Bring a few more over, and some men's watches too."
"Okay, right away."
After respectfully bowing to Jiang Cheng, Xiao Chen quickly left the VIP area.
In contrast, the atmosphere on Lin Ru's side became extremely awkward.
Lin Ru glared at the two of them with disgust, feeling very displeased.
She had thought that the 380,000 watch she chose was already luxurious enough.
But she didn't expect Jiang Cheng to dismiss it as cheap.
She knew that to buy this watch,
she had to "persuade" Wang Hai for a long time before he agreed to accompany her to buy it.
And Wang Hai, hearing Jiang Cheng's words, immediately darkened his face.
Although 380,000 might not sound like much, for ordinary people,
it could buy a decent car. This young man was too arrogant.
Jiang Cheng saw Su Wan staring motionlessly at a simple ladies' watch in a magazine, lost in thought.
It was a watch with a brown alligator leather strap and a rose gold case that complemented each other, looking very exquisite and elegant.
The marked official price was 217,000—a typical entry-level Patek Philippe women's model (like the basic Calatrava series).
"Do you like this?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly ask her, Su Wan waved her hand: "Just looking, I can't afford it anyway."
"Ding! Random mission issued: Give Su Wan a women's watch."
"Mission Reward: Calculated based on the final result."
"Failure Penalty: ."
Jiang Cheng looked at the system's prompt with some surprise. Although he didn't know what the reward was, following it would definitely not go wrong.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you," Jiang Cheng said generously.
"No need, I'll buy it myself when I earn money later," Su Wan declined.
Lin Ru, standing by, rolled her eyes.
In her opinion, a third or fourth-tier celebrity like Su Wan, even taking on a dozen minor roles a year, wouldn't earn 380,000.
Actor salaries varied wildly; first-tier stars could get tens of millions, a second female lead like her at most a million, and someone with sparse screen time like Su Wan, a few tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand, and still had to split with the company—want to buy a Patek Philippe? Simply a pipe dream.
She secretly waited to see Jiang Cheng's "just looking, not buying" joke, to show them what "green tea talk" was.
Soon, Xiao Chen brought a watch display tray and placed it in front of Jiang Cheng and Su Wan.
"Mr. Jiang, these models are all over 500,000. For example, this 5160/500P-001 men's watch, a super complicated function chronograph, its special feature is the reversible, hand-engraved case back. When flipped, you can see the complex movement in operation. The official price is 1.27 million."
He then pointed to another one: "And this 5270R-001, with a rose gold case and a gold dial, is also a super complicated function model, with an official price of 1.3855 million."
Xiao Chen carefully and meticulously introduced the six watches in front of Jiang Cheng, and after finishing, he introduced the prices of a few other watches.
After speaking, Xiao Chen subtly watched Jiang Cheng from the side, to see if he had any reaction.
However, Jiang Cheng remained as calm as water after listening, his expression completely unchanged, not even blinking an eye, as if what he had just said was fifty yuan.
After listening to the introduction, Jiang Cheng pointed to the 5160/500-001 and 5270-R watches.
The 5160/500-001 had an official price of 1.27 million, while the 5270-R with a gold dial and platinum case was 1.3855 million yuan.
After buying the Richard Mille, Jiang Cheng no longer felt anything about watches costing over a million.
However, Richard Mille's popularity was not as high as Patek Philippe's.
Except for rich second-generation heirs like Wang Zheng and Qin Fen, ordinary people wouldn't know that the watch on his wrist was worth over ten million.
"Let me try these two."
After Jiang Cheng spoke, Xiao Chen immediately took out the watches and helped Jiang Cheng try them on.
Jiang Cheng didn't refuse, after all, why stand if you can sit, why sit if you can lie down, why do it yourself if someone else can do it.
