Chapter 15 Don't be so arrogant

“Diamond Card?” “Are you a diamond member here?” Dinah Chen said. Dinah opened her mouth so wide that an egg could be put into it. “Sure, now can you rest assured?” Victor Chu rolled his eyes and said. “But why you have a Diamond Card? It’s said that the diamond membership here is worth 300000 or 500000. I don’t remember. That’s an astronomical figure!” Dinah said. Although Dinah has no contact with the member service of Ivy Loft, she has a general understanding about it. Dinah didn’t know that one has to deposit 1 million for the first time, or she would open her mouth wider. “Well, don’t drag your feet. Come here.” Victor said. Victor pulled Dinah to the service counter of pawn area. At that moment, several pairs of man and woman were selecting treasures and occupying the service counter. In Ivy Loft, people prefer to buy things in the pawn area than in the common treasure trading area, because good things are easier to be in pawn area. After all, many people are short of money and they will pawn their precious treasures. This is an opportunity for the buyers. “Husband, this bracelet suits me well. It’s only 120 thousand dollars. It’s an icy jadeite bracelet. Buy it for me. I want it.” “I promise I won’t spend any money in two months if you buy it for me!” In front of the service desk, a middle-aged lady dressed brightly and heavily made up was turning the charm on her husband. The man in the suit next to her was hesitated. Obviously he thought the price is a little too high. “You just bought the necklace of gold and silver beads the other day, and now you want to buy…, you can’t spend money like that.” The man said with some complaints. “Victor, the bracelet that they held in hand is mine…”Dinah said and pointed to the icy jadeite bracelet in the middle-aged woman’s hand. “I’ll buy the jade bracelet.” Victor said. After seeing the middle-aged man was hesitated, Victor said immediately. But what Victor did made the couple unhappy. “Who are you? Why you are so arrogant? My wife wants to buy the bracelet first and you can’t have it.” The middle-aged man glared at Victor and said. “Yes, you can’t have it. Poor boy, can you afford it?” The middle-aged woman said. The middle-aged woman turned to see Victor and Dinah and deliberately amplified her voice. “Ivy Loft is going downhill. Everyone can enter as they want. Why the two poor students dressed so shabby have the nerve to see the luxuries? Don’t they affect the experience of us, the real shoppers?” The middle-aged woman added. Victor had no intention to argue with her on this topic and he walked to the middle-aged woman. “You have looked it for a long time, but you don’t decide whether to buy it or not. Can’t I say I want to buy it?” Victor said. After hearing what Victor said , the middle-aged woman couldn’t help laughing. “You want to buy it? Can you afford it?” The middle-aged woman said. After seeing what happened, the people around stopped buying and looked them four. It’s rare to see there are people arguing in treasure stores. What’s the origin of the bracelet? “Husband, just buy it for me! Don’t let others laugh at us!” The middle-aged woman said. The middle-aged woman had to thank Victor. She knew her husband is sensitive about his reputation. She wouldn’t have been able to buy the bracelet if her husband hadn’t been stirred up by Victor. “OK, I’ll buy it for you and pay now.” The middle-aged man said. The middle-aged man grinded his teeth and took out his platinum card. “I will buy it at 150000 dollars.” Victor said. “The pawn and auction areas are free to bid. The one who pays higher can get it, right?” Victor looked at the service staff at the counter and said. “Yes, you can bid freely.” The female service staff smiled sweetly and said. But Victor offended the middle-aged couple completely by that. Even Dinah couldn’t help pulling Victor and gave him a wink secretly. But Victor was there to redeem the jade bracelet for Dinah. How could Victor give the bracelet to others? How could the bracelet that Dinah has worn for more than ten years be bought by the middle-aged woman. “He is here to make troubles. I hope you can throw him out of here, or I won’t come back here again.” The middle-aged man said angrily. “Mr. Wang, it’s legitimate to auction. If he can’t afford it, we’ll call the police to arrest him for disturbing the order. That’s the business of Ivy Loft. You can only have the bracelet only if you offer a higher price than him. It’s the custom of Ivy Loft.” The female service said patiently. “We’ll buy it at 160000 dollars.” Mrs. Wang said. Before Mr. Wang said something, Mrs. Wang hit the table angrily and stared at Victor angrily. “200000 dollars.” Victor said. Victor held out two fingers. “You!” Mrs. Wang said. Mrs. Wang’s face was red and she stared at Victor as if her eyes were about to pop out. “Victor, forget it…It’s terrible.” Dinah said. Dinah’s face was as white as paper. 200000 dollars? Dinah didn’t think Victor have so much money. “I am sure to redeem the jade bracelet for you today. Otherwise, we don’t where it will be if they get it. And by then it’s difficult to get it back.” Victor said firmly. “210000 dollars!” Mr. Wang took a deep breath and said. The reason why he had to pay 210000 was because of Victor, the little beast. Mr. Wang’s lungs were about to explode. “300000 dollars!” Victor said calmly. “I want to see your boss. Ask your boss to come over. I’m sure he is making troubles. He can’t afford it at all. If you don’t know this common sense, I think you might as well close the door.” Mr. Wang said through gritted teeth. “Yes, ask your boss to come over, or ask him to show proof of assets. He raises the price out of thin air to disgust us. We don’t accept such a kind of trading way. We don’t know if it’s a pit you intentionally set?” Mrs. Wang said. The female service staff didn’t know what to do. She looked at Victor and said, “May I see your membership card, Sir? After confirming your ability to pay, you can continue bidding.” The female service staff said. Victor paused for a moment. Then he took out his glaring Diamond Card to the table under the scornful look of the couple. “Diamond Card!” “Oh my god, he is a hidden rich man. There are no more than 10 people in the Jingan area who have Diamond Card of Ivy Loft. And those who have the card are top bosses whose asset is more than a hundred million dollars!” “Who is he?” All the people looked at Victor. They were guessing and some were even suspecting. “Tick!” The Diamond Card was swiped by the machine and a voice came, “Diamond Card, balance, zero.” The air was quiet for a moment. Suddenly Mrs. Wang laughed so hard that she couldn’t straighten up. “Ha, ha, ha, you are really killing me. Where did you get the card? Why you have the nerve to take out an empty card? I wondered why you can afford a Diamond Card. It turned out you picked it up somewhere. There is no money in it. How can you pay the bill?” T Mrs. Wang said. The couple laughed. It really gave them a fright when they saw Victor held the Diamond Card. They thought they offended a rich man. But it turned out that Victor is a paper tiger. Why he has the nerve to show off with an empty card? Didn’t he show his true colors? “I forget to top-up…”Victor scratched his head and said. The card costs one million dollars and the bronze bracelet Victor bought last time is one million dollars, so there is no money in the card. “Forget? Can you afford to top-up?” “Why don’t you throw him out? Isn’t that obvious? He is a trash and liar!” Mrs. Wang said. She showed no mercy. When the female service staff didn’t know what to do, she looked up and saw a tall woman coming this way. The female service staff ‘s face lit up, saying, “Here comes our boss. Let the boss handle it.” The tall woman wore a red dress and seven-centimeter high-heeled shoes. She wore light make-up and is so beautiful. With her arrival, the focus shifted to her. “Mr. and Mrs. Wang, why you are so angry?” The tall woman said. “Hum, the Ivy Loft is going downhill. Everyone is allowed to be here. Of course we’re angry.” Mrs. Wang said. Mrs. Wang curled her lips and folded her hands in front of her arrogantly. After hearing what Mrs. Wang said, the tall woman just smiled. She turned to walk to Victor and said politely, “You must be Mr. Chu.”
