29: That's what we want – to be high-profile.

"I should, first, tell you about the benefits of our private banking..."

Xu Jia took a deep breath, finally remembering the main purpose of her visit today.

She was just about to speak, entering into that professional script she knew by heart.

But Chen Qiu interrupted her, speaking first.

"As a private banking relationship manager, you should have some understanding of various luxury goods, right?"

Xu Jia was stunned.

She nodded.

She did indeed have specialized knowledge in this area.

However, was there any connection between the two?

"Are you... planning to invest in luxury goods?" she asked tentatively.

Chen Qiu shook his head.

"No."

"I have to go on blind dates over the next two days."

"I want to buy some new clothes, can you help me pick them out?"

"..."

Xu Jia parted her beautiful red lips.

It was, yet again, an unexpected answer from him.

She had been overthinking things earlier, worrying about first loves and the like.

As it turns out, this guy Chen Qiu was just thinking about having her help him pick out outfits.

And then, he was going to wear these clothes to go on a blind date with another woman?!

At the thought of her former crush wearing clothes she had personally selected to go meet another woman, a feeling suddenly welled up in Xu Jia's heart... a sense of powerlessness, like an incompetent wife...

Besides.

Wearing head-to-toe luxury goods on a blind date?

Wasn't that a bit too high-profile?

However, what she didn't know was that high-profile was exactly what Chen Qiu wanted!

It would be best if he could be like that He Ting from yesterday, decked out in conspicuous luxury goods from head to toe!

He had thought it through.

If he wore luxury goods to his blind date, the other party, seeing the luxury items, would likely make even more exorbitant demands, right?

"How about it, Manager Xu, do you have any recommendations?"

Xu Jia turned her head upon hearing this and gave Chen Qiu a serious look.

Chen Qiu now owned a multi-million villa and a million-plus horch.

So the luxury goods he intended to buy must be top-tier, right?

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke.

"For menswear, Louis Vuitton and Dior are good options."

"Both brands have stores in MixC City."

Chen Qiu nodded.

LV and Dior, he had heard of them.

Immediately, he drove the brand-new temporary-plated horch toward MixC City!

Chen Qiu went to the LV store first.

As soon as the two of them walked in, the sharp eyes of the LV sales associate, Xiao Hua, lit up slightly.

She immediately dropped the work she was organizing and greeted them enthusiastically.

This wasn't to say that all luxury store associates were required to provide enthusiastic service to every customer who walked in.

Quite the opposite.

For luxury stores like theirs, located in a third-tier city, it was often difficult to make a single sale for days on end.

Most customers who entered were just browsing, admiring the texture of the luxury goods.

Very few actually made a purchase.

At times like this, it really tested the insight of the store associates!

It tested whether they could distinguish who was a real potential customer in the shortest amount of time!

In this regard, Xiao Hua had her own unique set of insights.

To distinguish a woman, look mainly at her attire.

To distinguish a man, look mainly at his female companion!

As for the method to distinguish a man on his own... Just kidding.

What man would step into a luxury store like this all by himself!

And when Xiao Hua saw Xu Jia's extremely outstanding looks, figure, and pure yet alluring temperament, yet she still followed half a step behind Chen Qiu, she knew instantly.

Today, she was going to make a sale!

"Hello, welcome to Louis Vuitton."

"May I ask what you are looking for?"

Xiao Hua's gaze drifted between the two.

Finally, it settled on Xu Jia's stunningly pure face.

"Let's look at your menswear!" Xu Jia asked softly.

"Menswear?" A flash of surprise crossed Xiao Hua's eyes.

She had assumed, quite naturally, that they were buying something for this elegant lady...

"Alright, the menswear is over here. These are our latest winter..."

Immediately, she began to introduce them skillfully.

Xu Jia quickly entered work mode.

She looked left, touched right.

From time to time, she would look back to compare with Chen Qiu's figure.

She was extremely serious about helping him match clothes.

Chen Qiu was naturally happy to be idle.

He contentedly played the role of her model.

Ten minutes later, Chen Qiu walked out of the fitting room wearing a full set of LV.

A simple raffia T-shirt as a base layer.

Outside, he wore a black zip-up knit jacket.

On the bottom, a pair of sharply tailored cargo pants.

On his feet, a pair of new sneakers.

On his head, he wore a bucket hat.

Chen Qiu's head-to-body ratio was already very good.

Coupled with his height of 1.8 meters and his model-potential figure, he was, without a doubt, a walking clothes hanger.

After putting this outfit on, his entire image and temperament instantly changed, making him look like a completely different person.

It made the eyes of Xu Jia, who was standing nearby, light up!

The sales associate, Xiao Hua, showered him with endless compliments, making Chen Qiu himself feel a bit embarrassed.

But overall, Chen Qiu was quite satisfied with himself in the mirror!

"Xu Jia, you should have just become a fashion blogger back then!" Chen Qiu praised Xu Jia sincerely.

The corners of Xu Jia's mouth curled up slightly.

She bloomed with a relaxed and stunning smile.

Fashion styling was indeed one of her hobbies.

Unfortunately, limited by her own finances, most of the time she could only buy one or two hundred yuan alternatives online to wear.

"Let's take this set."

As soon as Chen Qiu finished speaking, Xiao Hua, who was nearby, was instantly beaming with joy.

This set, all in all, cost fifty thousand yuan!

Wouldn't her commission of a few hundred yuan be easily in the bag?!

Chen Qiu turned his head to look.

He discovered that his exclusive stylist, Xu Jia, was standing on the other side holding a sample bottle of perfume, smelling it on her wrist.

After noticing Chen Qiu's gaze, her movements paused slightly, and then she said,

"LV's perfume is also quite good."

"If you give it to your blind date, she will definitely like it!"

Chen Qiu leaned in to smell it.

It was surprisingly similar to the scent he had smelled earlier in Xu Jia's wuling mini.

It was some kind of fresh and elegant floral scent!

Clearly, this was a type of fragrance that Xu Jia herself preferred.

"Giving someone a two or three thousand yuan LV perfume on a first blind date."

"Isn't that a bit too high-profile?"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Xu Jia's mouth twitched.

You are already planning to wear a full set of LV to a blind date, isn't that high-profile enough!

"Don't worry about the perfume for now." Chen Qiu interrupted her.

"Your work isn't finished yet!"

"Huh? Are we still going to keep buying?" Xu Jia was stunned.

"Aren't you going to look at Dior anymore?"

"No need, let's just buy it here."

"Help me pick out three more sets!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jia's moist red lips parted slightly, and she was left frozen in place...

And Xiao Hua, not far away, fell into ecstasy after hearing this sentence.

More than half an hour later.

Chen Qiu took out his phone to pay the bill.

"Your debit card account 5694 spent 238,850 yuan on January 27, 2025, current balance..."

In less than an hour, over two hundred thousand yuan was gone just like that!

As the person who had hand-picked all of this, Xu Jia's eyes were a bit dazed.

People working in banks are used to seeing large numbers.

They often help clients process transfers of millions or tens of millions.

Subconsciously, they are also influenced by these numbers, feeling that a few million doesn't seem like much.

She used to be like that, too.

Until.

The tragedy in her family, where hundreds of thousands in medical expenses drained all the family's savings and left them with a significant amount of external debt.

That moment instantly woke Xu Jia up.

No matter how little a few million might seem, it was still someone else's money.

For her personally, a few hundred thousand was a heavy mountain that could crush her entire family!

Her eyes fell on Chen Qiu's tall and slender back.

She vaguely felt the huge gap between them that could not be bridged by the friendship of being old junior high school acquaintances alone.
