66 -66: An Encounter While Buying a Watch

Yusuf Zuck finally cleared himself of the huge property embezzlement accusation in front of Ruth Wilcox after much persuasion.

Of course, Ruth Wilcox was speechless by now.

Yusuf had only been her driver for a few days, right?

First it was a million, now another half a million, all in cash.

If you add his monthly salary of sixty thousand she gave him, then Yusuf easily made a million a year.

You know, Yusuf is just a driver and part-time bodyguard, right?

“Yusuf…

What do you want to do when you have money?” Ruth Wilcox got back into bed and stared blankly at Yusuf.

She was certain that Yusuf was a capable man, yet such a capable man was only a driver by her side.

She could also foresee that one day Yusuf would leave.

He couldn’t possibly be her driver for life.

“I haven’t really thought about it.

I’m just an ordinary citizen, I don’t have big dreams.” Yusuf shook his head.

Before, buying a house of a few dozen square meters in the capital and a car worth over a hundred thousand were his dreams, but now he could achieve that; this dream had already been realized.

So, what his next dream was, he really hadn’t thought about.

“Well, think about it now.

You make money so easily, casually pocketing half a million,” Ruth teased.

Yusuf laughed, “My half a million is probably just the price of half a bag in your eyes, Ms.

Wilcox, isn’t it?

Could you please stop teasing me?”

“Boring.

You can go now.” Ruth Wilcox rolled her eyes at Yusuf and gestured for him to leave.

Yusuf stood up, glanced at Ruth Wilcox sitting cross-legged on the bed, and her long legs in black stockings, and said, “Hehe, actually, I just want to be a little driver.

If you don’t fire me, Ms.

Wilcox, I’ll just stick around.”

“No ambition.

Get out!” Ruth said with a smile.

Yusuf’s flattery was too loud, and although she scolded him for not having ambition, her mood instantly soared.

Talking with Yusuf always made her happy.

Yusuf sauntered towards the door, but before he reached it, he turned back to ask, “Ms.

Wilcox, where are we going for lunch?”

“I’ll call you later, today you’re treating!” Ruth said with a look of someone ready to slaughter a big spender.

“No problem, it’s on me.” This time, Yusuf was generous.

In fact, he wasn’t really stingy; he used to be frugal because he earned little and needed to save for his sister’s living expenses.

But now, earning more, a few meals weren’t much of an issue.

“Okay, then don’t go yet.

Let’s go out.

I have nothing else to do today anyway.” Ruth stood up.

She had been busy for many days and now could relax completely, so it was a good time to visit the mall.

Besides bringing some gifts back for Mia and Lara, she also didn’t feel like staying in her room all morning.

It was better to go out and have fun.

Yusuf was more than happy to accompany her, since going back to his room meant just boringly watching TV.

It was better to tour around Shanghai.

The two of them decided to leave immediately without notifying anyone else.

They went downstairs, picked up the car, and drove off.

“Where do you say we go?” Yusuf asked while driving.

“Do you have a place in mind?

Something you want to buy?” Ruth responded with a question.

“I want to buy a watch for my sis, Sara.

She doesn’t have one yet.” Yusuf glanced at Ruth in the rearview mirror, as she was wearing a watch.

A woman wearing a delicate, high-end watch could indeed show a distinct level of sophistication.

Sara usually checked the time on her phone, so now that he had money, Yusuf was willing to spend it all for his sister!

Ruth nodded immediately, “Okay, then let’s go to the Plaza 66.

I heard there are many luxury brands there.”

“Luxury it is,” Yusuf pressed the accelerator and continued on.

He now had nearly three million in savings, so splurging once was no problem.

Plaza 66 in Shanghai is a high-end department store, home to top fashion brands from around the world.

Ruth had never been there before; she had only heard Mia mention it occasionally.

With the help of car navigation, they quickly found Plaza 66. freewebnøvel.com

However, when Yusuf was about to get out of the car with the briefcase, Ruth stopped him, “Leave the cash in the car.

When you spend, I’ll pay, and then you can give me the cash back when we get there.”

“Why?

Why make it so complicated?” Yusuf looked puzzled, as it seemed straightforward to pay with cash.

Ruth covered her forehead, not because the stores inside didn’t take cash, but because it was too tacky to buy luxury goods with cash.

His briefcase wasn’t big, and if it were filled with US dollars, it could hold at most a million, which would be less than seven million in conversion.

And in luxury stores, a bag could easily cost over a million, let alone a watch counter.

He would definitely be mocked for being old-fashioned.

When shopping, it’s better to travel light and just carry a bank card.

Of course, Ruth didn’t have the heart to directly tell Yusuf he was being old-fashioned, so she could only force a smile and say, “Some stores don’t take cash!”

“Really?

There are stores that don’t take cash?” Yusuf was surprised, recalling a movie he had seen called “Seeking Marriage” that depicted a high-end teahouse that did not accept cash.

In that movie, a wealthy man slapped a number of different bank cards on the table, leaving the waiter’s face staggering with shock.

“Yeah, many luxury brand stores don’t deal in cash, only credit card payments,” Ruth nodded earnestly.

“Alright, alright.

I’ll buy the watch and then give you the cash back!” Having no choice, Yusuf threw the briefcase back into the car.

Ruth exhaled with relief, “Then let’s go.”

…

And just as Yusuf Zuck and Ruth Wilcox entered the Heng Long Plaza, at the Cartier counter in Heng Long Plaza, Sara Zuck and one of her female classmates were admiring the expensive watches in the display.

Of course, they were only admiring.

This was also why Sara’s classmate had brought her here, to show her the world.

They were browsing, not buying, nor could they afford to.

A moment after Yusuf Zuck and Ruth Wilcox entered the first floor of the plaza, Yusuf started to feel apprehensive since he was seeing many luxury brand names and the prices on many of the merchandise tags.

What counts as a luxury item?

A belt worth tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, doesn’t count as a luxury, he saw a belt from a foreign brand priced at over a million dollars, close to two million actually.

When he saw that price tag of over two million, he instantly lost his temper; the slightly less than three million dollars he had in hand were just like little sesame seeds in this congregation of luxury goods, this wasn’t a place where he could afford to shop.

“How much do you plan to spend on a watch for Sara?” As they wandered around, they approached the Cartier watch counter, but at that point, Ruth Wilcox stopped and inquired about how much Yusuf intended to spend.

“A hundred thousand dollars, a hundred thousand!” Yusuf set the figure at a hundred thousand.

He had no intention of buying something worth a few hundred thousand or over a million, because he couldn’t pretend to be richer than he was, taking out a hundred thousand from his three million dollars savings to buy a watch was already quite extravagant.

“Oh, go ahead and pick one yourself when we get inside, I’ll give you some advice,” Ruth smiled and nodded, feeling that the price range of a hundred thousand dollars for a watch was acceptable.

Just then, as they turned around and walked into the Cartier counter, they both saw Sara with her schoolbag and a female classmate, and also, that Sara’s classmate seemed to be arguing with someone, saying something like ‘you’re treating me like trash, YOU’RE the filthy one’ or something similar.

“Sara,” Yusuf and Ruth Wilcox didn’t know what had happened, but they still immediately hastened into the store.

“Brother, Ruth, what are you doing here?” Sara turned around abruptly and showed a surprised expression, for she had never expected to bump into her brother here.

“Oh, two more?

Why don’t you four pool your money to buy something because wearing my watch and not being able to afford it, don’t you realize you’re making my watch dirty?” Suddenly, a sardonic voice rang out.

It was a woman, who was standing beside a man dressed in a suit and tie.

Moreover, as the woman spoke, she provocatively lifted her wrist to show off the watch she was wearing, which still had the price tag attached.

“What’s going on?” Yusuf frowned, perplexed by the woman’s mocking tone.

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing, let’s go,” Sara said, grabbing Yusuf’s arm and heading for the exit.

“Go where?

I came here to buy you a watch.

What’s the matter?” Yusuf spoke while looking at Sara’s classmate, gesturing for her to explain.

“You came to buy a watch for Sara?

That’s great, because Sara really liked the look of the watch that woman’s wearing.

I asked the sales assistant to let Sara try it on.

We were about to leave after trying it, but this fat woman came over and started making a scene about us dirtying the watch, looking down on us!”

“Who are you calling fat, who are you calling fat!” The woman wasn’t actually fat, at most just curvy, but Sara’s classmate’s words were quite sharp!

“It’s you who’s fat, you who’s fat, so what now?

Look at the women standing here, which one isn’t skinnier than you, fatty, fatty!” Sara’s classmate was relentless, not backing down an inch.

“Husband, they’re bullying me…” The woman suddenly started crying while clinging onto the suited man.

“Wife, don’t be angry, it’s not worth getting upset over these people, they’re just envious of you because they can’t afford it,” the suited man seemed quite gentlemanly, but his words were lacking in quality.

“Miss, could you please show me these two watches?” At that moment, Ruth Wilcox, who had been silent, suddenly pointed to two diamond-encrusted watches on display, one of which was obviously extremely luxurious and was placed in the most prominent position in the display counter, and the others looked quite valuable as well.

“Cut it out, Miss Salesgirl, you’d better not show them to her.

You know they’re only going to try them on, not buy them.

Don’t blame me if they get them dirty,” the fat woman said, with a disdainful look on her face.

“Fatty, you’re just a mass of fat, like a pig!” Sara’s classmate continued the mockery.

“You…” The woman was nearly apoplectic with rage.

At that moment, the salesgirl, with a smile, handed the two watches from the display to Ruth Wilcox.

The salesgirls here had an eye for detail; Ruth’s natural air of elegance, and especially the watch on her wrist—a watch worth several hundred thousand dollars from Vacheron Constantin—did not go unnoticed by the salesgirl, who, being in daily contact with luxury watches, recognized it immediately.

Therefore, the salesgirl did not heed the fat woman’s words.

By then, Ruth Wilcox had received the two watches, and after a glance, lifted the all-diamond one curiously and said, “If I am not mistaken, this watch is a centennial limited edition from the Santos series, right?

How do you have one here?”

“Miss, your eye is truly sharp,” the sales assistant praised with a smile: “Indeed, this is a Santos de Cartier centennial piece.

A customer had paid a deposit before but never came to pick it up, and it’s been a long time, so this watch has stayed here.

The other one you have is also from the Santos series.”

“Are they for sale?” Ruth Wilcox asked.

“Yes,” the sales assistant nodded.

“Please wrap up these two models, thank you,” Ruth Wilcox said, reaching for her bank card.

“Certainly,” the sales assistant nodded repeatedly.

What is a wealthy person?

Someone who buys things without asking the price and takes them away is the real deal.

“Wait a minute, how much are these two watches?” Ruth Wilcox might not ask for the price, but Yusuf still had to ask because he felt that these two watches might be worth several hundred thousand.

The sales assistant smiled and replied, “Sir, the centennial limited Santos is a bit more expensive, priced at two million three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the other Santos series watch is priced at one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars.

The total price for these two watches is two million four hundred seventy-five thousand five hundred dollars.”

“Uh…” Hearing the sales assistant’s words, everyone, including the fat woman, froze instantly.
