A sales assistant in her early thirties sashayed over to Su Xiaoyan. She snatched the shirt away. "You've wrinkled the top. Now I have to send it for professional cleaning."
"We'll buy it now. No need for cleaning," Jimmy said.
The sales assistant laughed sarcastically. "Heh, buying the cheapest thing, yet talking like a big shot. Your 'girlfriend' touched so many clothes. Are you going to buy all of them?"
"Can't I buy everything?" Jimmy frowned.
"Heh, I've seen plenty of guys like you who try to show off. This is a top-tier luxury brand! Do you know how much all these clothes cost put together? Looking at your outfit, I doubt you can even pull out $1,000 USD."
Jimmy ignored her. He was scanning the room. His sharp gaze immediately fell on a timid face. Looking at the employee badge on her chest, he asked, "Zhou Ling, right?"
Zhou Ling nervously nodded.
"First day on the job?" Jimmy observed instantly.
Zhou Ling, still too shy to speak, nodded again.
"The clothes my girlfriend touched? Go and pack all of them for me." Jimmy pulled out the Amex Centurion Black Card and handed it to her.
Zhou Ling stared at him in disbelief. "Sir, which clothes are you referring to?"
Jimmy shook his head. "Not 'which one.' All of them!"
Zhou Ling felt dizzy. She quickly took the Black Card and rushed off to pack the clothes.
Jimmy walked back to Su Xiaoyan and glanced at the stunned sales assistant. "Tsk, this young lady just made your entire year's sales quota on her first day. You should probably just retire, lady."
...
The Chanel store manager returned from her lunch break to find the new girl, Zhou Ling, taking down nearly all the clothes from the racks—the store was half empty. She angrily scolded Zhou Ling, "Didn't I say in the meeting not to do clothing maintenance during business hours? Are you ignoring me?"
Zhou Ling looked wronged. "Manager, I'm not doing maintenance. These clothes are all for a customer."
"A customer? How could one person buy this much? These clothes cost over a million Yuan! It's your first day—if you don't know something, ask a colleague! Do you think Chanel is a street stall where people just buy everything? Has the customer paid yet?"
Zhou Ling shook her head. The manager raged, "You're packing without payment? Are you crazy for a commission?! Go clean the floor!"
Zhou Ling, about to cry, produced the credit card Jimmy had given her. "The customer left his card and asked us to deliver the order to his hotel once it's packed."
The manager was about to unleash another torrent of abuse when she finally noticed the card in Zhou Ling's hand: The Amex Centurion Black Card. The manager took the card and immediately processed a transaction to verify its authenticity. The card was real.
The manager's blood pressure instantly spiked. "The... the Black Card! We must secure this customer! He's a Super VIP! Our store's entire year depends on him now!"

[SIDE QUEST COMPLETE: SHOPPING SPREE AT CHANEL]
[REWARD: CHARACTER ATTRIBUTE BOOST TO MARTIAL ARTS PEAK (LEVEL 4)]
(Note: Martial Arts is divided into Nine Levels, each with four stages: Beginner, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Peak.)
Jimmy felt a shudder run through him as he looked at the notification. Since getting the System two days ago, he had received the Lamborghini Reventón and the Black Card. This was the first attribute reward.
As the screen faded, Jimmy felt his internal strength surge. The movements of everyone around him seemed slow and full of openings. He felt like he could take on ten people at once. Is this the power of Martial Arts Peak (Level 4)?
"Xiao Chuan," Su Xiaoyan gently called out, snapping Jimmy out of his thoughts.
"Big Sister Xiaoyan," Jimmy replied sheepishly.
The elevator had stopped on the 79th floor. Because Su Xiaoyan had been drenched by Shawn Wu, Jimmy had booked a room at the most luxurious hotel in Jingdu, the Waldorf Astoria, so she could clean up.
Jimmy swiped the key card and led Su Xiaoyan into the room.
All the way up, Su Xiaoyan's heart was beating wildly. Seeing her "little brother" again in a strange city was exciting, but the Jimmy she saw today was different. He was no longer the boy who followed her around. Now, he stood tall and straight, his features sharp, radiating masculine energy. His actions were decisive, like a domineering CEO.
Yet, being alone with him in a room—a King-sized bed room—made Su Xiaoyan's face flush pink.
"Big Sister Xiaoyan, go take a shower quickly."
"Mhm..." Jimmy's words made Su Xiaoyan blush even deeper.
Jimmy didn't think much of it. He immediately stretched out on the two-meter bed, turned on the TV, and started giggling at a cartoon. Watching him laugh, Su Xiaoyan felt a sense of familiarity; her "little brother" was back.
She walked into the bathroom, shed the soiled clothes, and washed under the warm stream of water. Su Xiaoyan felt completely relaxed.
After washing up, she realized the Chanel clothes hadn't been delivered yet. She had nothing to wear. But she couldn't stay in the bathroom forever. After much internal debate, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and stepped out.
Su Xiaoyan's figure—deep cleavage, round curves—was barely concealed by a single towel. Just as she was too shy to face Jimmy, she saw that her little brother was fast asleep, letting out soft snores.
With a loving gaze, Su Xiaoyan walked over and leaned down to cover Jimmy with the duvet. But her movement was too large, and the towel slipped, revealing her entire, flawless body. Su Xiaoyan quickly snatched the towel and rewrapped it. Seeing that Jimmy was still snoring, she secretly stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
Phew. Good thing Xiao Chuan is asleep. I would have died of shame otherwise.
[CONGRATULATIONS, CHALLENGER!]
[SIDE QUEST COMPLETE: UNMOVED BY BEAUTY]
[REWARD: ACQUIRE THE HILTON GROUP]
Jimmy was startled awake by the System notification. He was utterly confused. I just took a nap. How did that trigger a side quest?
The reward was the Hilton Group—a Fortune 500 company! The side quest rewards were already this insane, so the Main Quest rewards had to be even more tantalizing! Jimmy used his consciousness to open the System's task panel.
[MAIN QUEST: COMPLETE FOUR YEARS OF UNIVERSITY AND GRADUATE SUCCESSFULLY.]
Sure enough, the Main Quest is not easy. It requires at least four years of commitment.
"Xiao Chuan, you're awake."
Jimmy looked up. Su Xiaoyan had changed into the evening gown delivered by Chanel—a black velvet long dress with an off-shoulder design that made her neck look as elegant and fair as a swan's. The black fabric contrasted strikingly with her white skin. Her slender waist swayed gently as she walked, and her curves followed. It was impossible to look away.
"Big Sister Xiaoyan, you look stunning today," Jimmy praised.
Su Xiaoyan's face turned crimson as she shyly lowered her head.
Jimmy wrapped his arm around Su Xiaoyan, testing out the strength and combat skills he'd gained from his Martial Arts Peak state.
Three hours later...
Knock! Knock! Knock!
An urgent knocking sounded at the hotel room door. Jimmy got up and opened it. Standing outside was a woman in professional attire: a black pencil skirt hugging her long legs, and semi-rimless glasses that made her look both sexy and fierce.
"Is Mr. Jimmy here?"
"That's me," Jimmy said with a yawn.
The woman was taken aback. The mysterious billionaire who fully acquired the Hilton Group was so young—and quite handsome.
