Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 585 Blocking and Weak Legs

"I hate trouble, but I really need to buy some new clothes and daily necessities."

Zhou Wang yawned and said with a faint smile, "Usually my secretary and assistant do things for me, so I was thinking, could you act as my shopping guide and help me buy some things?"

"Ah I……"

Cui Min'er was taken aback when Zhou Wang suddenly made such a request.

"I trust your taste. You choose, and I'll make the final decision. I think we'll be more efficient if we divide the work. What do you think?"

Choi Min-ah's heart fluttered.

This mainly comes from Zhou Wang's line, "I trust your taste."

If she remembered correctly, this seemed to be the first time she had ever heard Zhou Wang praise her since she had known him.

Choi Min-ah's cheeks flushed slightly, and she even seemed a little excited.

And this is for Zhou Wang to buy clothes!

At this moment, she wasn't alone with Zhou Wang. Shen Yutong, Su Yajing, and Yu Duo were also in the store. In terms of closeness of relationship, all three girls were closer to her than she and Zhou Wang.

But then, Zhou Wang approached her...

This made Zhou Wang's praise seem more genuine, and it also made Cui Min'er, who had long been looking for a breakthrough in the relationship between the two of them, realize that an opportunity had come.

So after her initial excitement subsided, she nodded repeatedly, "Of course... I mean, if you think I can help you, but... I'm worried I won't do a good job and will disappoint you..."

Choi Min-ah's speech became somewhat incoherent, and her Chinese suddenly became non-standard.

Zhou Wang smiled. "I believe you."

"Okay, I'll definitely do my best!"

Choi Min-ah clenched her little fist and said solemnly.

She, who is usually a sophisticated and mature woman, looked quite adorable at this moment.

"Don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing..."

"Ah, I don't need any reward!"

Before Zhou Wang could finish speaking, Cui Min'er quickly waved her hand.

"How about that?"

Zhou Wang interrupted her without saying a word, "I'm a businessman, and I prefer fair trade. You should get something in return for your investment. Otherwise, what will people think of me? I, Zhou Wang, would never do something that would make me lose face!"

Upon hearing Zhou Wang bring up the issue of face, Cui Min'er felt it was inappropriate to refuse any longer. Just as she was about to say something, Zhou Wang continued:

"How about this, in return, I'll cover all your expenses here today. What do you think?"

"Ah, this, this..."

Choi Min-ah was speechless for a moment, only subconsciously glancing at the long street filled with all kinds of luxury brands.

All purchases here...?
She felt her mouth was dry and she felt she should refuse... but she couldn't bring herself to say "no".

If you put any normal woman here, she probably wouldn't be able to refuse this request.

This is Harbour City!
It is not only the largest shopping mall on Hong Kong Island, but also one of the few places in the whole of Asia that can surpass it.

Moreover, Choi Min-ah is more vain and materialistic than the average girl. Otherwise, she wouldn't have accepted Woo-bin's marriage proposal just because she was attracted to his family background.

There was no emotional foundation between the two.

"No need to hesitate any longer, let's decide on this... Shall we start with this Hermès store?"

Zhou Wang glanced at his watch, revealing a hint of impatience.

Choi Min-ah nodded repeatedly, quickly smoothed her hair, checked her makeup, and then strode into the store.

Zhou Wang slowly lagged behind, gazing meaningfully at Cui Min'er's hurried figure.

He asked Choi Min-ah for help, of course, not on a whim.

His praise for Choi Min-ah was genuine.

Although Choi Min-ah has some obvious flaws, her attention to her appearance and the refinement of her life are enough to rank her in the top five among the women Zhou Wang knows.

In this respect, it can only be blamed on China starting a little later. In terms of fashion sense, women in South Korea do have some natural advantages.

But this is still not the main reason why Zhou Wang made this suggestion.

After all, Cui Min'er is very good at dressing, but Su Yaqing and Yu Duo are not bad at it either.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Wang would definitely choose one of his two women...

The real reason he asked Choi Min-ah to come forward was because Zhou Wang thought Choi Min-ah's performance at the Caprice restaurant was quite good.

If she had chosen to speak up for her two childhood friends back then, or if, for whatever reason, she had chased after those two people in the end, Zhou Wang would have sentenced her to death in his mind.

Your liking or disliking of someone often happens in an instant.

Zhou Wang didn't really like Cui Min'er before; you could even say he disliked her.

However, during their trip together, his opinion of Cui Min'er changed considerably. Just now at the restaurant, regardless of what Cui Min'er was thinking, she showed that she chose to stand on Zhou Wang's side.

Given this, Zhou Wang has never been a stingy person.

Tonight's "shopping reimbursement" privilege is his reward for Choi Min-ah.

Well... there might also be a small reason, because he did see Choi Min-ah's body, so it's a tiny bit of compensation.

Of course, Zhou Wang's habit of caring about others' feelings gave her a good reason... although even if Cui Min'er knew what Zhou Wang was thinking, she might not care.

But that's one good thing about Zhou Wang: if he approves of someone, he will give them the most basic respect.

As for why Zhou Wang didn't set a spending limit...

This was the last little test he left for Choi Min-ah.

One thing is true: no matter how much Choi Min-ah spends tonight, he will pay for it.

But if Cui Min'er becomes unscrupulous and greedy, insisting on getting all the benefits at once, then Zhou Wang guarantees that this will be the last time.

If Cui Min'er is sensible and passes Zhou Wang's test, then Zhou Wang will not hesitate to treat her as one of his own during the subsequent journey.

……

"Zhou Wang, what do you think of this dress? I asked the sales assistant, and they happen to have your size..." In the brightly lit VIP lounge, Zhou Wang, leaning back on a leather sofa, lit a cigarette. Beside him, a top saleswoman wearing black stockings and high heels stood smiling, holding a Hermes exquisite bone china ashtray with the tag still on. She would extend the ashtray when Zhou Wang needed it, and Zhou Wang didn't even have to reach out to shake off the ash naturally.

Meanwhile, Cui Min'er, who had taken over the role of the top saleswoman, was carrying a gray Hermès "Leather Details" zip-up baseball cardigan and was cautiously asking Zhou Wang for his opinion.

"Not bad, stay."

Zhou Wang glanced at the cardigan, too lazy to get up and try it on, nodded, and then asked, "How much is this?"

At this moment, the saleswoman in black stockings standing next to Zhou Wang spoke up at the opportune moment: "Mr. Zhou, this is our autumn new arrival. The current official price is 33700. Of course, if you take it back to the mainland without removing the tag, you may need to pay some additional taxes..."

This alone demonstrates the professionalism of the sales assistant.

Normally, when people travel abroad, they have a duty-free allowance of 5000 yuan. This means that as long as the value of the goods you buy abroad does not exceed 5000 yuan, you do not need to pay any taxes or fees.

However, any single item in these Harbour City items far exceeds this price, which means that if they are brought back to the mainland, taxes will need to be paid.

The tax rate on clothing is generally around 20%, meaning that Zhou Wang might buy this piece of clothing for over 30,000 yuan now, but the actual cost could exceed 40,000 yuan...

However, the sales assistant subtly pointed out a way to "avoid taxes".

Clothing is a special category. If you tear off the tags and wear it, customs won't really bother you... cough cough. Of course, we are all law-abiding citizens, so it's best to avoid doing this kind of thing.

Zhou Wang understood the saleswoman's implied meaning, but just smiled and didn't reply.

He certainly wouldn't do something so undignified, and besides, he couldn't possibly only buy one or two items, so this kind of "trick" doesn't apply to him.

"More than 30,000..."

Zhou Wang repeated it, which made Cui Min'er uneasy.

Is there a problem with this price?

She chose the item entirely based on her own aesthetic sense and didn't pay much attention to the price. However, considering the price was close to ten million won, it didn't seem cheap.
Just as Cui Min'er was about to say something, she heard Zhou Wang wave his hand and smile at her:
"Min'er, for clothes like these that cost no more than six figures, you can decide for yourself. You don't need to ask for my opinion on each one... If there are really expensive items, then you can ask me. It's tiring for you to keep running around, isn't it?"

Choi Min-ah's eyes widened instantly. She knew her expression must look stupid, but she just couldn't help it.

Clothes costing no more than six figures... I can decide for myself?

So Zhou Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with the price of "over 30,000," but rather that he thought it was too cheap?!
OMG!

Although I've always known Zhou Wang is rich, some things aren't truly intuitive unless you experience them yourself.

How can a man be so arrogant?
For Choi Min-ah, there are many qualities in men that attract her, but the biggest plus is always being rich and willing to spend money.

Just as Cui Min'er was breathing heavily, Zhou Wang touched his wallet again, took out a black and gold bank card, and stuffed it into Cui Min'er's hand.

"This card is a supplementary card of my China Merchants Bank credit card. You can also take it and use it when you pay. The credit limit is ten million, which should be enough... I will send the password to your phone."

"You can use this card to buy things yourself. By the way, if the credit limit is not enough, just let me know and I can adjust it."

Before Cui Min'er could calm down, she was stunned by Zhou Wang's words.

A credit card with a limit of ten million?

That is, nearly 20 billion won, just like that, was stuffed into his hands?
Moreover, Zhou Wang said she could use it as she pleased...

Even though Choi Min-ah was very proud of herself, she knew that in South Korea, with so much money that Zhou Wang had poured in, let alone an ordinary girl like her who was just beautiful, even those glamorous female celebrities would probably find it hard to resist spreading their legs.

This is a kind of extravagance that she could never feel from her Woo Bin oppa.

Choi Min-ah squeezed her legs together, trying hard not to lose her composure. After nodding heavily, she suppressed her excitement and turned to go shopping again.

Ding Dong!

Just then, her phone rang. Choi Min-ah took it out and glanced at it. To her surprise, it was a message from Park Woo-bin, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time.

The message seemed quite long, but Choi Min-ah didn't even finish reading it before impatiently stuffing her phone back into her bag.

After walking a few steps, Choi Min-ah thought for a moment, then took out her phone again and blocked "Woo Bin Oppa" without the slightest hesitation.

At this moment, Choi Min-ah felt completely refreshed.

This is a night that belongs only to her and "Oppa Zhou Wang," and no one is allowed to disturb her!

The sales assistant next to her looked on with envy as Cui Min'er stormed off, her eyes filled with uncontrollable fantasies, wishing she could take her place immediately.

But it's just a thought.

She considered herself quite attractive and had been approached by countless elites in a place like Hong Kong Island, but unfortunately, her standards were also very high.

This "Mr. Zhou" tonight must be the most outstanding man she has ever met. The moment she saw his rating in the Hermès system, the sales assistant knew that this Mr. Zhou must have extremely strong financial resources.

In retrospect, that was too conservative.

The sales assistant wasn't entirely sure how much wealth someone would need to spend "ten million" in a single night...

However, she wasn't actually at a loss. Although Zhou Wang said he didn't need her to do anything, since he specifically asked her to accompany him, she would receive a commission on all of Zhou Wang's purchases at the store that night.

It means she doesn't have to do almost anything; she just needs to serve Zhou Wang here, and she can earn a large sum of money for nothing.

Normally, she should have gone to the dressing room to serve Zhou Wang a little more, otherwise she felt like the money was burning her hands...

Unfortunately, she didn't mind, but seeing that Zhou Wang didn't seem to have any such thoughts, she could only regretfully give up.

Hermès was just the first store. Although the four girls were very interested in shopping, they didn't waste too much time there because there were so many other options to choose from. About half an hour later, the group left the store.

I didn't have any big or small bags in my hands. For stores like this, home delivery is just a basic service after you buy something, and it all depends on the customer's needs.

"Zhou Wang, um, would you like to take a look? This is the receipt from just now..."

At this moment, Cui Min'er nervously handed a receipt to Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang took it and glanced at it, then looked at Cui Min'er.

Besides his clothes, you can also see the amount of money Choi Min-ah spent.

Cui Min'er carefully selected an outfit for Zhou Wang, along with a briefcase, a wallet, and two belts, totaling around 300,000 yuan.

Choi Min-ah simply picked out an out-of-season bag, an entry-level model from the Picotin series, which cost only tens of thousands of yuan.

So Zhou Wang smiled and nodded at her, saying nothing, but his meaning was clear—

"I am very satisfied."

Having received Zhou Wang's affirmation, Cui Min'er instantly relaxed, her face flushing red again, and she even became a little unsteady on her feet...
