The woman paused for a moment, then snapped angrily, "What did you say? You..."
Zhou Xuan also took out his wallet from his pocket, then took out his bank card and threw it on the counter, saying, "Wrap up this one, that one, and the previous one too. I'm not very rich, but I can't afford these."
The supervisor and several female shop assistants were stunned. Zhou Xuan's increasingly arrogant attitude seemed to have shocked them. The pretty female customer was furious and, in her anger, said recklessly, "I'll buy them! Wrap all of these up for me!" Then she said to Zhou Xuan, "What are you pretending for? You don't have any money in your card, do you? Anyone can put on an act. If you could come up with that kind of money, I'd give you all this jewelry for free."
The supervisor immediately gave a wink to the female shop assistants, who quickly started processing receipts, swiping cards, and wrapping jewelry, completely ignoring Zhou Xuan. They seemed to believe the female customer's words that Zhou Xuan was just putting on an act.
Zhou Xuan took a few deep breaths, frowning as he pondered what to do. Then, the female customer pulled a car key covered in a pretty little rabbit from her bag, placed it in front of him, and sneered, "This car key, do you recognize it? A Porsche sports car. Never seen one before, have you? And all that jewelry, over four million in total. Have you ever seen so much money in your life? Let me tell you, this is just a month or two's allowance."
What kind of idiotic woman is this? He's already annoyed enough with a few shallow shop assistants, and now he's got this rich kid's cluelessness too. What does a rich kid know about the hard work of earning money? Besides, this pampered rich girl isn't even qualified to compete with him in wealth and extravagance.
Zhou Xuan tilted his head and stared at the woman. She was dressed in designer brands from head to toe. Her handbag alone was worth over 100,000 yuan, which was true. Her entire outfit was worth at least 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. Her Porsche sports car was worth at least 2 million yuan.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Xuan said indifferently, "Miss, even being a mistress or concubine doesn't earn money easily. You're just showing off a few things to me? Frankly, you're not qualified. Call your ATM over."
Ultimately, if he hadn't really angered Zhou Xuan, he wouldn't have said such aggressive things; they were too hurtful.
(I recommend a friend's novel about shrimp, crab, and antiques, titled "The Divine Eye," book number 1902469. It features supernatural abilities, antiques, beautiful women, and treasures. It's a high-quality novel and worth reading.)
Volume 1, Chapter 408: Chairman Zhou
"What...what did you say? Mistress...ATM?"
The young and beautiful woman's face turned pale with anger, and she pointed at Zhou Xuan, her hand trembling as she spoke.
Wherever she goes, she's fawned over. No one has ever spoken to her like Zhou Xuan has ever done, nor have she suffered such verbal abuse in front of so many staff and customers.
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "Miss, there's a saying, 'Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you.' If you're unwilling to listen to such a saying, do you expect others to?"
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Don't give me that. You...you insulted me like this today, and I will never let you get away with it. And let me tell you, so what if I have money? Are you envious or jealous? No matter what, you can't compare to someone like me. This place isn't for people like you."
After angrily finishing her speech, the woman took out her phone to make a call, staring at Zhou Xuan as she spoke, seemingly trying to recruit him.
Zhou Xuan ignored them, turned to look at the shop assistants, and said coldly, "Call your manager over. With this kind of attitude, I don't think he needs to work here."
The supervisor stood still and said indifferently, "Sir, you'd better leave voluntarily. If you continue to obstruct our normal business operations, I'll call security."
Zhou Xuan has indeed seriously hindered their normal work, but in the end, it is their attitude that is wrong. They still treat Zhou Xuan as someone who is broke and making a fuss. This is the main reason why Zhou Xuan cannot tolerate his employees having this kind of work attitude. If it were another store, Zhou Xuan would not have bothered to save face or vent his anger.
"Call security?" Zhou Xuan snorted, then thought for a moment, and instead calmed down, pulling up a high stool to sit down.
When the supervisor saw that Zhou Xuan was determined to keep up with them, she was about to notify the security department when another woman, who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, stepped forward from behind her and waved her hand.
The supervisor greeted her in a low voice, "Manager Lu..."
Zhou Xuan could see clearly that the woman's name tag read "Lu Yanping, Manager of Zhou's Jewelry International Building Store".
Finally, the highest-ranking manager in this store has emerged.
"Sir, if you have any complaints about our staff, I will handle them accordingly. However, since we are a business that needs to operate, arguing would not be good for anyone. Would you please leave for now?"
Although manager Lu Yanping spoke in a more tactful way, her underlying arrogance was no different from that of the supervisor and several employees.
Zhou Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Is this how you work? This is one of Zhou's Jewelry's most important stores, how come everyone here has such poor quality?"
Lu Yanping then said calmly, "It's probably not up to you, sir, to define our quality. We only cater to genuine customers. We are a high-end jewelry store that sells luxury goods. It's like a farmer from the countryside passing by a luxury car dealership. Of course, he might like the car, but liking it doesn't really give him any right to speak. Does that mean he can lecture and scold the car salesperson just because he doesn't like them?"
"Sharp tongue, full of nonsense," Zhou Xuan said calmly, looking at the eloquent manager. "You really shouldn't underestimate farmers from the countryside. You're right, I'm just a farmer too, but I'm a farmer who can keep you in line."
"Mind your own business?" Lu Yanping sneered, and immediately ordered the supervisor, "Xiao Ye, call security."
The angry woman beside him grew impatient, glanced at the time again, and then looked up, saying, "Wait a minute, isn't this guy unconvinced? I'll teach him a lesson first."
As she spoke, she winked at Lu Yanping and the supervisor, Xiao Ye. Lu Yanping and Xiao Ye immediately understood that this woman had just made a phone call and probably had connections. They thought it would be good for her to call someone to teach this person a lesson, so they immediately fell silent.
Zhou Xuan understood perfectly well. He had heard the woman make the call as soon as she started. Although she kept her voice low and moved away, Zhou Xuan's hearing and eyesight were far superior to those of ordinary people due to his special abilities. He had heard her words clearly from the beginning.
Several female shop assistants brought the prepared receipts and packaged jewelry to the woman, while the shop assistant who had initially clashed with Zhou Xuan also brought over her bank card and the receipt. The bank card was returned to the woman, and she was asked to sign the receipt.
"Miss, the total is four million seven hundred and seventy-six thousand. This is the discounted price for you." The female shop assistant took the receipt signed by the woman and then glanced at Zhou Xuan sideways, her contempt and disdain in her eyes were obvious.
Have you ever seen more than four million? It's probably a number he could never earn or afford in his entire life.
That's true. Ordinary people rarely see such a large sum of money. They probably wouldn't earn that much money in their entire lives.
The woman continued, "These three items I bought cost over four million. Do you want them? If you do, give me one million... no, no, I'll sell them to you for five hundred thousand. Hehe, can you afford that? If you can, I'll give them to you in cash right away."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Judging from your expression, it's not easy for you either. Forget it. I won't sell it to you, but if you can come up with 500,000 yuan to show everyone, I'll give you all this jewelry. I won't take a penny."
This was utter contempt for Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan was unfazed by the woman's provocation and said indifferently, "Well, perhaps you can come up with a lot of money, but did you earn it yourself? Hehe, maybe you did, even if you earned it with your body, but my money is money I earned myself."
...
The woman was speechless with rage, unable to utter a word. Zhou Xuan's words were driving her mad; she wished she could tear him to pieces and throw him into the sea to disappear.
Zhou Xuan continued, "If you want to flaunt your wealth and compete with me, that's fine with me. But as you said, what's the point of showing off a few hundred thousand or a few million like a nouveau riche? How about this: those three pieces of jewelry you bought are worth over four million. If I bring out something that's just as valuable as yours, then your pieces will lose to me. But I don't want them. I'll donate them all to the disaster area, consider it an act of charity."
The woman raised an eyebrow and said, "Fine, what if you can't produce it? What punishment will you face?"
“Fine, you set the conditions. Whatever you want,” Zhou Xuan replied calmly, letting the woman set her own terms.
Almost everyone assumed that Zhou Xuan couldn't possibly produce anything valuable. Judging from his attire, he probably didn't have more than two thousand yuan in cash on him, and the most valuable thing he probably had was a cell phone. It was undoubtedly impossible for him to produce something worth more than four million yuan.
The woman gritted her teeth, thought for a moment, and then said fiercely, "If you can't produce it, you'll have to crawl down on your knees."
These conditions seemed to the woman perfectly in line with her expectations. What rich person doesn't care about their reputation? If someone did something like that, they wouldn't be able to live like a human being here. In a place like this, if something happened, the video might be online in less than an hour. You couldn't avoid becoming famous if you wanted to.
