Chapter 168: The Fastest Comeback!

Because he found that the more poised and content a woman was, the more she favored young scions like Zhou Jiayi.

Take Su Yanmo for instance, and even he himself greatly liked Zhou Jiayi's restrained, oblivious yet domineering and profoundly transcendent demeanor.

Therefore, when facing this man, he was not particularly inclined to stir up trouble.

However, Huang Lingxi—a narrow-minded and somewhat spoiled, willful little girl who relied on him as her backer—became even more insufferable.

Yet, in order to achieve a successful counter-attack, he still had to show off once.

"Hmph! A mere five million, who doesn't have money? I bid six million!"

The man sneered and rolled his eyes at him.

Seeing this, Lin Fan dropped a bombshell: "I bid ten million!"

As the words fell, both the man and the young beauty stared at him in utter astonishment.

Lin Fan lifted his chin, looked at the two of them with a confident expression, then pulled a bank card out of his pocket and said resolutely, "I offer ten million for these two watches. No discounts or price cuts. Discounting feels more like a slight to me."

As soon as these words were uttered, both the man and the young beauty blurted out:

"Are you insane?"

"What a fool! You're bidding ten million just to buy two watches? I'm not going to argue with a retard like you! Babe, let's go, let's look somewhere else."

With that, the man grabbed the young beauty and left, cursing under his breath.

Seeing the two of them slinking away, Huang Lingxi was instantly overjoyed.

"Wow! President Lin, you're still the best! With just one move, you scared those two pretenders into fleeing in panic! Hmph, to think they even had the nerve to be sarcastic, without even looking at who President Lin is!"

Huang Lingxi showered Lin Fan with relentless flattery.

Lin Fan gave a faint chuckle, which was actually born of contempt for her.

Yet verbally he said, "Well, how about it? I'm giving both watches to you, are you satisfied?"

Huang Lingxi nodded like a pecking chick and threw herself into Lin Fan's arms on the spot. "President Lin, I'm so happy, you're so good to me! Whatever you want to do to me tonight, I'll submit to you."

The last sentence was even spoken in a voice audible only to the two of them.

Yet Lin Fan felt an even deeper disdain for her in his heart.

This little chick was the exact same type of person as Chen Yanzi; for money, she would sell her dignity without hesitation.

No wonder her innocence rating at eighteen was so low.

Following that, Lin Fan placed the diamond-encrusted Dior watch on her wrist, while the other was packed away.

Lin Fan settled the payment cleanly and decisively.

At that moment, the system's notification sound echoed in his mind.

[Huang Lingxi's favorability has reached 100! Congratulations to the host for a successful counter-attack, rewarded with five attribute points!]

[The simping fund consumption rebate has arrived, please check it yourself!]

The next second, Lin Fan's expression changed instantly.

"Alright, that's enough for today. I have matters to attend to, you should head back."

"Ah... didn't you just say you wanted to talk to me about signing a contract?" Huang Lingxi panicked slightly, asking with cautious trepidation as she could sense the disgust in Lin Fan's tone.

She wanted to get closer to Lin Fan, but Lin Fan stepped back two paces directly, looking at her with an impatient expression.

"I only want to sign Lin Mu. As for you... I'm sorry, you're not qualified! Goodbye, and never see you again!"

With that, Lin Fan turned and walked toward the exit.

"President Lin! President Lin!"

Huang Lingxi's pretty face was filled with panic. She looked at Lin Fan's retreating figure at a loss, having no idea what she had done wrong to make Lin Fan turn hostile and ruthless in a split second.

She wanted to chase after him, but Lin Fan's pace was extremely fast. In less than a minute, he vanished from her sight.

The sales assistants in the boutique looked at each other in utter bewilderment, having no clue what had just transpired.

However, a few minutes later, Lin Fan suddenly turned back alone.

By this time, however, Huang Lingxi was no longer anywhere to be seen.

"Sir..."

It was the same sales assistant from earlier. Seeing Lin Fan return, she assumed he wanted to make a return or exchange. After all, it was completely normal for someone to regret spending ten million on watches that were originally only worth three million.

Instead, Lin Fan walked straight up to a row of glass cabinets in the apparel section.

He pointed to a black and gold spiked ball long dress inside the cabinet and asked, "How much is this dress?"

The sales assistant was stunned, not expecting Lin Fan to have returned to buy clothes.

"Sir, this dress is a haute couture gown. Along with the coat, necklace, earrings, rings, wristwatch, and so on, it's a complete set valued at thirty million! This is the only one of its kind in the entire Magic City. If you needed it earlier, we could have given you a discount..."

Before she could finish, Lin Fan waved his hand imperiously.

"Wrap them up. Thirty million, I'll take it!"

"Ah, this... Okay, okay, okay!"

The sales assistant never expected that Lin Fan still wouldn't take a discount. He was simply a rich man's foolish son.

This windfall of wealth had finally fallen upon them.

You must know that most wealthy young ladies who came shopping in the boutique would demand discounts and bargain, especially since these were high-end luxury items worth tens of thousands up to millions.

For items with lower general prices, the commission they earned was also very low.

Let alone coming specifically to buy limited-edition collectible sets worth millions—such customers were exceedingly rare.

This black and gold spiked ball long dress had not been sold since the boutique opened. Although the original price was thirty million, it could be sold at a forty percent discount.

She never expected Lin Fan to purchase it directly at the original price, meaning the commission they would earn could reach up to a million!

She hurriedly called her colleagues over to attend to Lin Fan, while the others carefully took the display pieces out of the cabinet and meticulously packaged them one by one.

Half an hour later, Lin Fan headed toward the Yunting Manor carrying the haute couture gift worth thirty million.

After parting ways with Huang Lingxi earlier, he had hidden in the restroom for a few minutes, taking the opportunity to message Lin Mu and ask where she was.

He wanted to apologize to Lin Mu for what happened earlier and prepare a surprise grand gift for her.

Lin Mu did not refuse either, informing him that she was at Villa Number 18 in Yunting Manor.

Upon arriving at Yunting Manor, Lin Fan drove his car directly into Villa Number 18, pulling right up to the villa's entrance.

Lin Mu was not alone in the villa; Zhou Jiayi had specially arranged a female housekeeper for her.

"What are you doing coming over here in the middle of the night? Weren't you supposed to be talking business with Huang Lingxi?"

Lin Mu was wearing a white short skirt, looking at him expressionlessly with a sarcastic tone.

"This girl, she's still jealous at a time like this. Truly a vinegar jar." Lin Fan chuckled inwardly, yet feigned grievance on the surface as he said, "The talk fell through. I felt she wasn't very suitable to be signed to my company, so we broke up."

"I came here specifically to apologize to you. This is a metal-embroidered haute couture gown I bought from the Dior boutique. It matches your style quite well, and I believe you'll love it..."

With that, he nodded toward the female housekeeper nearby.

Without a word, the female housekeeper stepped forward to help him retrieve the boxes from the car and brought them into the living room.

Lin Mu hadn't expected him to bring back so many things, and her expression instantly shifted from gloomy to clear.

"These things together must be worth quite a bit of money, right?"

"These gifts are meant to enhance your temperament and status, price is irrelevant..." Lin Fan replied with great elegance.

Nevertheless, Lin Mu still glanced at the receipt.
