Xu Tian was embarrassed. If the discounted items were this expensive, the original price must have been hundreds of thousands.

I've never even heard of this brand before; it's so unassuming, yet it's much more expensive than those big brands.

The salesperson seemed to sense his confusion and explained to him with a smile.

"Our brand is an independent brand founded by Hermes' chief designer. The price is indeed a bit high, but the quality is much better than big brands, and it is very durable."

Xu Tian pouted. That's true. Big brands are all about brand effect. Apart from some limited editions that are of good quality, many are just for show and not for practical use.

However, these shoes are too expensive. Although he comes from a wealthy family in Beijing, he has never worn shoes this expensive before.

Chu Lan is quite like a capitalist; a pair of her shoes costs more than an average person could buy a house.

He had originally planned to buy her a pair himself without using Chu Lan's membership card, but now he could only look on at the price and give up.

Are there any other styles?

Since it's not his money anyway, and Chu Lan definitely wouldn't like the discounted ones, it's better to pick out a pair that she likes.

The salesperson remained patient and led Xu Tian to another row of display shelves.

"These are all the latest styles for the season, and they meet your requirements."

Xu Tian looked at them, picked up a pair of shoes that looked pretty good, and examined them carefully.

"That's it…"

"Let me take a look at these shoes."

Before Xu Tian could finish speaking, a beautiful young woman with graceful figure snatched the shoes from his hands.

She looked to be under thirty years old. The reason Xu Tian thought she was a young woman was because she was accompanied by an older middle-aged man.

He was heavily pregnant, and every place where he could wear something was covered in glittering gold chains. Combined with the bright lights in the store, it was so dazzling that Xu Tian almost went blind.

"Honey, I love these shoes, please buy them for me, okay?"

The sickeningly sweet voice made even the well-trained salesperson feel uncomfortable, and they frowned slightly.

The middle-aged man, who was being called "husband," was quite pleased and grinned, showing off his big yellow teeth.

"Buy, buy, buy! I'll buy anything my wife sets her sights on."

The young woman immediately beamed with joy. She had heard of this brand before; although it was a niche brand, it was top-tier luxury. She was going to accompany her husband to an important gathering the next day, and with these shoes, she was confident she would stand out from the crowd of wealthy women.

"These are the ones. Let's get the receipt."

The salesperson looked at her with difficulty, "Madam, I'm really sorry, this gentleman has already taken a liking to these shoes."

The young woman frowned. "Just get him another pair that's exactly the same."

The salesperson explained, "All the shoes in our store are one-of-a-kind. The pair you've chosen is the only one available."

The young woman glanced at Xu Tian and noticed that he wasn't wearing any designer brands from head to toe. How could he possibly afford such expensive shoes?

Thinking of this, the young woman snorted coldly, her nostrils flared.

"Hey, did you come into the wrong store? Do you know how much these shoes cost?"

Xu Tian had no intention of competing with her; if she liked one of his own, he could just look at another pair.

However, Xu Tian couldn't tolerate her tone of voice.

"It's just 329,900. I'm not as blind as you."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the greasy middle-aged man.

How could the young woman not understand the hidden meaning in his words? She turned around angrily and complained to her husband.

"Hey, my wife has her eye on these shoes, don't be ungrateful."

Xu Tian sneered, though he didn't speak, his eyes were full of provocation.

"Damn it, do you even know who I am?"

As he said this, the middle-aged man pulled a postcard from his bag and stuffed it into Xu Tian's arms.

Xu Tian glanced at it with disdain. "Isn't he just a secondhand dealer? His name is quite unique though. Li Haiyan, is that a man's name?"

"Hey Haiyan, you need to be more careful," Xu Tian teased.

The salesperson almost burst out laughing after hearing one of his sentences, but managed to hold it in.

"Say that again!"

Haiyan panicked. The name was a mistake. Back then, registering a household wasn't as formal as it is now; everything had to be done online. His original name was Li Haijian, but the person registering his name misheard it as Li Haiyan, which is why it became his current name.

The first thing he wanted to do after becoming rich was to change his name, but the fortune teller said that the name would bring him good fortune, so he refrained from changing it, even though he didn't like the name from the bottom of his heart.

"You're dressed like a stinking beggar. How can you afford such expensive shoes?" Li Haiyan mocked loudly.

Xu Tian chuckled, "Yes, yes, unlike you, just standing there reminds me of a medicine, Malva nut!"

"What the hell..."

"Oh, alright, honey, let's not argue with him."

Despite feeling disgusted, the young woman stroked Li Haiyan's chest and began to persuade her.

If it weren't for his wealth, who would follow him? He made his fortune by reselling secondhand goods, and with the demolition of his house, he became an overnight millionaire. His manners and vision are nowhere near as good as those born into wealthy families.

"Hurry up and wrap up these shoes. Can he even afford them?" the young woman said with disgust.

The salesperson looked at Xu Tian with some difficulty.

"Didn't you hear me tell you to wrap it up?" Li Haiyan shoved the salesperson in a fit of anger.

Fortunately, Xu Tian reacted quickly and caught her.

Xu Tian sneered, "Someone like you wouldn't have been able to find a wife in the past."

"Stop your damn nonsense! You're just trying to rub your poverty off me. If you don't have money to buy it, get out of here. Stop acting like a big shot." Li Haiyan cursed.

"Get out of here! Can't you see my husband is angry?" The young woman looked at Xu Tian arrogantly.

Xu Tian snatched the shoes from her hands. "Wrap them up for me, I'll pay right now!"

The salesperson nodded and hurriedly picked up the shoes and went to the counter.

"Are you blind? We had our eyes on these shoes first!"

The young woman reacted quickly and stopped her.

"Believe it or not, I'll file a complaint against you. You think you can bully your customers just because you're a big company? Do you even want this job anymore?"

Upon hearing the complaint, the saleswoman almost burst into tears. For stores like theirs, customer reviews are the most important thing; sales figures are secondary. This is why she still treated Xu Tian, ​​who was not particularly handsome, with courtesy.

Xu Tian couldn't bear to put the salesperson in a difficult position, so he waved his hand and said, "Fine, let them have these shoes, I'll look at another pair."

The salesperson was overjoyed and wept. He bowed to Xu Tian several times and hurriedly took the shoes to the counter to make an order.

"This is something I'm putting on for you. Even if you could afford it, would you have an occasion to wear it? It would be embarrassing."

Li Haiyan laughed triumphantly.

Xu Tian ignored him and decided to look at another pair of shoes.

"Hey, don't go! Why weren't you scared just now? You think you can just let it go after you've finished pretending?" Li Haiyan persisted.

Xu Tian frowned, about to tell him to take his dirty hands off, when Chu Lan hurriedly came in from outside.

"Why is it taking so long to buy a pair of shoes?" Chu Lan looked at Xu Tian anxiously.

Li Haiyan was dumbfounded. This...this is Chu Lan, the key figure at tomorrow's important gathering, the one he needs a favor from!
