Chapter 42: Victory in Hand
Zhang Yang currently had several million in cash. Starting tomorrow, the cashback he received every day at midnight would become fifty thousand.
With that kind of income, buying a bag worth eighty or a hundred thousand was nothing at all.
Inside the Louis Vuitton boutique on the third floor.
Zhang Yang was listening to a sales assistant introduce various bags.
From handbags to leather goods, ranging from ten to twenty thousand to forty or fifty thousand, and of course the truly high-end LV bags from the Capucines series.
"Mr. Zhang, you really must take a look at this bag. It's absolutely perfect for your girlfriend," the Louis Vuitton saleswoman eagerly introduced a Capucines mini crocodile bag.
The price was indeed not cheap-158,000.
But for the current Zhang Yang, that price was manageable. It was just three days of cashback.
He had always believed that if you were going to give a gift, either don't give one at all, or give one that truly makes an impact. So after the saleswoman repeatedly recommended it, he was actually a bit tempted.
"Then… shall I take this one?" Zhang Yang looked at the saleswoman.
"Mr. Zhang, your taste is absolutely exceptional," the saleswoman praised sincerely.
A short while later, the bill was issued and the bag was packed.
Zhang Yang carried the LV bag worth 158,000 straight to his brand-new Bentley Continental GT.

Bei Wei was clearly feeling much better today.
Yesterday her head had still felt dizzy and muddled, but after Zhang Yang came by and she drank the chicken soup he personally made, her body warmed up and she immediately felt half recovered.
That morning, the sun was warm, and Gu Jiani insisted on dragging her out for some shopping.
"Don't worry, we'll just walk around nearby. We'll stroll, get some sunshine-it'll help your cold recover faster," Gu Jiani kept persuading.
"Then… alright," Bei Wei finally agreed.
She looked in the mirror. Her appearance was simple and natural, fresh and clean. There was no need for makeup, so she simply went out bare-faced.
"You should change your bag soon. When your birthday comes, I'll give you one," Gu Jiani said while looking at the Coach bag in Bei Wei's hand as they walked.
"No need, no need. This bag is pretty good. I'm not planning to change it," Bei Wei said with a smile while putting her phone into the bag.
The bag had cost several thousand yuan, after all, and she already thought it was very nice.
Gu Jiani suddenly sighed softly and said slowly, "Actually, you deserve something better."
Her words had a double meaning-it was hard to tell whether she meant the bag or the person.
Bei Wei pretended not to hear it, lowering her head and occasionally sending messages. From time to time, a faint smile appeared on her face. It was obvious she was a woman in love.
The two walked to a relatively quiet pedestrian street nearby and found an outdoor café. Each ordered a cup of coffee and simply sat there basking in the sunlight, drinking coffee and enjoying the slow pace of time.
"Just showing off your love again. I really don't know what you like about him," Gu Jiani muttered after glancing at Bei Wei's phone on the table that kept chiming.
Bei Wei finally lifted her head, and her eyes immediately softened.
"Anyway, he's just great. He's mature, steady, and knows how to take care of me. Look-normally when I catch a cold it lasts a week, but yesterday I drank his chicken soup and today I'm almost fully recovered."
"Seriously? You're linking it to that?" Gu Jiani looked speechless. "I remember you used to have really high standards. Back in college, you didn't like anyone. You only secretly admired that senior a year above us-Feng Ming, right?"
"Feng Ming?" Bei Wei looked confused for a moment before recalling. "Oh… him. Alright, I did admire him at the time."
"I knew it. That's your real taste," Gu Jiani laughed immediately.
"Actually, if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost would've forgotten. Back then we were all students. It's pretty normal to admire a senior who's handsome and academically excellent," Bei Wei said naturally.
"But didn't he later go abroad with the campus beauty Chen Xiao?"
Gu Jiani looked toward a café not far away. "Have you ever thought about this-what if one day your former male god suddenly turns back and appears right in front of you?"
Bei Wei didn't understand what she meant.
The door of the café nearby was suddenly pushed open gently. A tall figure with handsome features, wearing a white shirt, walked over with a smile and pulled out a chair.
"Long time no see, you two," he said naturally as he sat down.
Bei Wei looked at the figure in front of her in shock, then glanced at Gu Jiani, who seemed to have known all along.
"Surprised? I knew you would be," Feng Ming said with a sigh and a smile. "You must think I'm still abroad living happily ever after with Chen Xiao, right?"
"Uh… isn't that the case?" Bei Wei looked at the once campus heartthrob who now felt completely unfamiliar, forcing awkward small talk.
The conversation just wouldn't flow-it felt like talking to a stranger.
"Actually, we broke up a long time ago. After being together for a while, we realized our values were completely different. She wasn't the person I was looking for," Feng Ming said while looking at her. "Bei Wei, you haven't changed much these past few years. You're still the same."
The Bei Wei before him was exactly like the one in his memories-fresh and sweet.
'Hiss.'
How had he been so blind back then that he failed to notice such a treasure of a girl?
"I guess so," Bei Wei replied absentmindedly, busy lowering her head to chat with Zhang Yang.
Just now, when Zhang Yang found out she was still sick yet had gone out for a walk, he had scolded her harshly and was already on his way to pick her up.
Mm… even though she got scolded, Bei Wei felt very sweet inside.
"Bei Wei, I've returned to Shanghai for work now," Feng Ming said with a slight frown when he noticed she kept chatting on her phone.
"Oh, that's nice," Bei Wei replied perfunctorily.
Seeing this, Gu Jiani lightly nudged Bei Wei's leg under the table and whispered, "Bei Wei, he's an old classmate you haven't seen for years. Just chat politely for a bit."
"What?" Bei Wei found it funny. "Jiani, Zhang and I are doing great. Why should I make small talk with a classmate I haven't seen for years and never kept in touch with?"
"But he… wait, don't tell me you asked Zhang Yang to pick you up?" Gu Jiani suddenly became anxious. "Don't!"
She wasn't particularly familiar with Zhang Yang. They had only exchanged a few unpleasant words before-there was no real grudge. But if Zhang Yang came now, the situation would become much worse.
She had agreed to help Senior Feng first, and only afterward learned about Zhang Yang's existence. Since she had already played the villain by accident, she had accepted it.
But if the two men met now, the outcome would be obvious. If Zhang Yang were to suffer a setback and become discouraged because of this, honestly, that wasn't her intention.
"Why can't he come?" Bei Wei looked straight at Gu Jiani and asked.
Gu Jiani looked into Bei Wei's dark, clear eyes-so clear they almost reflected her own image-and suddenly swallowed all the words she wanted to say.
"Then… do whatever you want."
Feng Ming took a sip of his coffee. "Bei Wei, actually what I wanted to say is…"
"Sorry, it's my boyfriend calling," Bei Wei said as she stood up, picked up her bag, answered the phone, and walked away from the table.
