Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

As Bai Xi walked into the store, several waiters surrounded her like stars surrounding the moon, and escorted her to the VIP room.

She was shocked by the scene. Not to mention after her rebirth, she had never experienced this even before her rebirth when the economy was nearly ten years more developed than it is now.

So this is how rich people shop. No wonder they don’t like online shopping, she thought.

"Dear Ms. Bai Xi, I apologize for not welcoming you in person. I apologize for the inconvenience."

Bai Xi tried to calm herself down, but saw a foreign uncle who looked like a manager walking towards her quickly. She was worried about her poor English, but the uncle spoke very standard Mandarin, which surprised Bai Xi.

"You're David, right? It's okay. Can I get my things now?"

"Of course, it's my honor to serve you. Please follow me."

David waved his hand to let the other waiters disperse, then he half bent over and respectfully led Bai Xi into the VIP room.

Bai Xi entered the VIP room and found that there were several people inside. A man and a woman were standing next to the display cabinet on the left. They looked somewhat similar. Two women were standing on the right. A designer was talking to them.

This should be the premium membership that the waiter just mentioned.

Bai Xi glanced around and continued to follow David towards the display case in the middle.

As David pushed open the door, they also looked over, and everyone in the VIP room showed surprise and confusion on their faces.

They had never seen David like this before. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and hunched over, which made him look a little funny. But everyone could feel the flattery and cautiousness that came from his bones.

"Dear Ms. Bai Xi, please allow me to solemnly introduce to you the pinnacle of our Van Cleef & Arpels haute couture collection—the Folie des Prés bracelet!"

“Among all natural elements, flowers and plants are Van Cleef & Arpels’ most cherished creative themes. To perfectly showcase the graceful beauty of flowers, the jewelry masters and artisans hidden in the Place Vendôme in Paris have continuously studied the carving and inlaying techniques of gemstones, so that each extraordinary gem with clear color exudes the most charming brilliance. Finally, through the layering of gold on his left hand, this Folie des Prés bracelet was created, which is like exuding fragrance on the wrist and showing the vigorous vitality of nature!”

"This is also the pinnacle of Van Cleef & Arpels' work in the past decade!"

"Now, it's yours."

Leading Bai Xi to the central display case, David bowed slightly as a gentleman, then straightened his chest and began to introduce the inspiration and preciousness of this jewelry.

As the last sentence fell, David put on white gloves, took out the jewelry, and presented his hands in front of Bai Xi.

Bai Xi was about to reach out to take it when a haughty female voice came from the side.

"I want this bracelet. How much?"

Bai Xi turned around and found that several other guests in the VIP room had gathered behind him, staring at the bracelet on David's hand.

The person who spoke was the girl from the couple that I saw when I first entered the room.

"Sorry, ma'am, this bracelet has been reserved by Ms. Bai Xi. If you want to buy it, you can wait until after the spring launch next year to place your order."

"Hey, give me this bracelet. I'll ask my brother to transfer the price to you."

David's apologetic answer obviously did not satisfy the girl. She immediately turned around and said to Bai Xi.

Bai Xi didn't bother to pay attention to her and just reached out to put it on. She half raised her hand, and the rubies and diamonds on the bracelet shone brightly under the light, emitting a charming glow. The bright red color made her skin look even whiter.

The girl was immediately furious when she saw that she was being ignored. Just as she was about to explode, the boy held her shoulders and pulled her back.

"Miss Bai Xi, right? Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu An, and this is my younger sister, Lu Shiyao. She's been spoiled by her family, so she's a little rude. I'd like to apologize to you on her behalf. Please forgive me."

"And this bracelet. My sister really likes it. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it? I'm willing to pay double the price."

Bai Xi then turned around and looked at them carefully. The boy in front of him named Lu An looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five, with handsome features, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Although he had a smile on his face, there was an unconscious alienation in his eyes, as if everything was just a show.

The girl did look somewhat similar to him, but the resemblance seemed a little deliberate and unnatural. She was staring at him with an unhappy expression on her face.

"I don't know how much it cost, I didn't buy it, but I really like it, so I apologize."

Bai Xi shook his head.

She is not short of money now, and this is the first high-end jewelry she has owned in all these years. The commemorative significance alone is enough for her to refuse.

"I can answer that question, ma'am. The headquarters has set the price of this Folie des Prés bracelet at 238 million RMB, but that's just the price; it might be higher when it's officially released."

David heard Bai Xi's question and hurriedly explained, while secretly observing Bai Xi out of the corner of his eye.

"So expensive?!"

Lu Shiyao blurted out, and everyone gasped. A hint of surprise flashed in Lu An's eyes. It's not like he hadn't accompanied his mother to buy jewelry before. Normally, the price was tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands at most. Now this price has increased several times.

Although he could afford it considering his family background, who would spend so much money on jewelry? You have to know that it is 2015 now, and 200 million yuan is enough to buy a second house in the new district of Shanghai.

Whose family is this Baixi? The Jiangdong Bai family? No, they're in politics, so they shouldn't be so high-profile.

Lu An's thoughts raced, but he couldn't find the answer at the moment.

David took in everyone's reactions, but Bai Xi just lowered his head and stared at the bracelet motionlessly, seemingly absorbed in admiring it, not thinking that there was anything wrong with the price at all.

It was indeed a top wealthy family. He had chosen the right person to hold onto. David secretly praised himself in his heart and bent his waist even lower.

Little did he know that Bai Xi in front of him was just stunned and froze.

???

Holy crap! 238w! System Boss, you’re too arrogant!

Wait, didn't you just say you could pay double? Does that still count?

She glanced at Lu An subconsciously.

I can do it! The commemorative value is only worth a few dollars!

Lu An's heart trembled. The girl in front of him had a blank expression on her face, and her eyes were sharp, as if giving him a warning.

It seems that she is indeed the daughter of the Bai family. I have heard for a long time that the old man of the Bai family dotes on his granddaughter very much. It seems that the rumors are true. He actually made an exception for her. This look is telling me not to talk nonsense.

"Miss Bai, we were the ones who offended you. Please rest assured that we will not reveal a single word about what happened today."

Lu An bowed solemnly with an expression that said "I understand" on his face, then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Bai Xi.

"This is my business card. You can always come to me if you have any questions. Our Lu family still has some reputation in the Magic City."

Bai Xi was a little confused, but still reached out and took the business card from Lu An.

Lu An, General Manager of Poly Auction House's Shanghai Office

Seeing Bai Xi take the business card, Lu An secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Jiangdong Bai family is one of the top five wealthy families in the country. They have been in the court for a long time and have extensive connections. If the Lu family really angered the eldest daughter of the Bai family, it would be really difficult for the Lu family to get through.

"Then Miss Bai, we will leave first."

Don't go! My 200W! No! 476W!

Seeing Lu An say goodbye politely and leave quickly, Bai Xi subconsciously took two steps and then stopped, feeling like crying but unable to do so.

"Dear Ms. Bai Xi, please wait a moment. I need you to register some information."

David saw Bai Xi take two steps towards the door and mistakenly thought that she was about to leave, so he quickly spoke.

Never mind, it’s just two apartments! I have a system!

Boss! Give me a villa! Don't let other systems look down on you!

Bai Xi was awakened by David's words and silently comforted himself.

A familiar mechanical prompt sounded in her mind again.
