My Return to Life

Friday, August 5th.

The first anniversary of Fang Nian and Lu Weiyu's engagement.

Lu Weiyu got up early as usual, worked out, washed up, had breakfast, and then drove the scumbag to the company.

Although Mr. Lu had a Mercedes-Benz S600 in addition to the new Rolls-Royce Phantom, Mr. Lu is still very interested in driving by himself.

To be honest, Rolls-Royce is old-fashioned and calm, and it is not even suitable for people under the age of forty to ride.

So Lu Weiyu would ride occasionally, and most of the time it would be left with dust on it.

Watching Lu Weiyu drive away in the scumbag, Fang Nian was still a little surprised.

After all, the date of engagement is still very important to the other party.

This means that the relationship between the two of them has been completely determined, and they lack that legal identity.

Mr. Lu forgot the first anniversary?

"Won't for girls, engagement is a symbolic thing?"

"..."

Fang Nian even had some doubts about life.

I want to return to my thoughts, but Fang Nian still intends to follow the plan.

At about ten o'clock, Fang Nian tidied up and told Fang Xin to write and play the piano at home, then drove the Audi and went out.

In contrast, the driving experience of a supercar during rush hour in a big city is not as good as that of an Audi.

Within a few minutes, Audi drove into Puruan Science and Technology Park.

Fang Qingnian walked into cutting-edge science familiarly, but only saw Xue Si.

"Boss Lu just left and went out to do some errands."

Seeing no outsiders, Fang Nian made a gesture and asked, "The company is busy recently? Is there any big project?"

Xue Si had also heard about Fang Nian's laziness, and was not surprised by Fang Nian's question, so he simply answered.

"The company has been very busy in the past two months. There are many new laboratories that need to be coordinated by Mr. Lu himself, including the virtual shares of Nuwa's laboratory...

Because they are all important matters, many of them need Mr. Lu to make decisions in person according to the process. "

Fang Nian said, "Did Mr. Lu say where he was going?"

"No." Xue Si shook his head.

"..."

The plan has only just begun, and because the heroine is not around, it can't proceed directly.

Stepping out of cutting-edge science, Fang Nian thought about it, and then called Lu Weiyu.

"What's wrong……"

"It's okay, then I'll be busy first."

Lu Weiyu hung up without saying a word.

Fang Nian: "!!!"

Even so, after Fang Nian thought for a while, he chose to bypass the important matter without a heroine first, and proceed to the next item.

Drive directly to Jing'an.

On the way, Lu Weiyu called again, but only said a few words.

I heard that Fang Nian went to the cutting-edge science and went to Jing'an again. Lu Weiyu said that the place where I happened to do business is not far from here. If Fang Nian is free, we will meet at Nanjing West Road later.

This confused Fang Nian a bit.

Fang Nian parked the car in Plaza 66, roughly confirming that everything in his plan was normal.

Then I contacted Lu Weiyu.

"..."

Without fussing at all, we met in the small square outside the mall.

Seeing Fang Nian, Lu Weiyu ran over to him.

He took Fang Nian's arm and said, "Hello, sir."

Fang Nian laughed and said, "Why did you come here?"

"It's something." Lu Weiyu replied casually.

While talking, he dragged Fang Nian along the street.

Before Fang Nian could find out the situation, Lu Weiyu had already dragged Fang Nian past the traffic lights to the diagonal,

Walked into No. 1177 Nanjing West Road.

This is the first joint venture store opened by Audemars Piguet in Shanghai in October last year, with an area of ​​80 square meters.

When it opened, it was also considered a huge momentum, and celebrities were invited to help out.

However, the store area of ​​80 square meters is somewhat shabby compared with other stores on this road.

Even if it is set off by the Tudor with the same small door face next to it;

But next door is the super big face of the cosmetics brand, which is very stylish at first glance.

Needless to say, it is becoming less and less common for big brands to open street-facing stores in big cities.

That is, you can see one or two on Nanjing West Road.

And this trend has been maintained until 2021, when the square year is known.

For example, later Audemars Piguet took back the direct sales, squeezed out the Tudor next to it, and expanded the scope of the front door, although it was still not grand.

But that is not much different from the overall appearance of West Nanjing Road.

Because later on, the frontages of the entire West Nanjing Road became less impressive and small, but turned into a high-end luxury watch store.

The cosmetics front of Audemars Piguet on the west side was replaced by IWC, and across the street to the west is a domestically produced Seagull watch.

Then to the east, there are Vacheron Constantin, Lange, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Roger Dubuis, Breitling, Breguet, Rolex, and Tudor, Franck Muller, Omega, Blancpain, Zenith, and Parmigiano are squeezed from the top west. Ni, Glashütte, Jaquet Droz, Bucherer, TAG Heuer.

Finally, it is a Longines ending.

Patek Philippe, dubbed the King of Watches, has never entered Nanjing West Road. It first settled at No. 18 on the Bund, and later moved to No. 33, and it was upgraded to the first Yuan Mansion in China. ①

"welcome."

After being welcomed in politely by the doorman, Lu Weiyu led Fang Nian to the counter inside as if he was familiar with it.

A sales lady put on gloves and took out a watch that was not displayed on the counter.

Then, Lu Weiyu didn't ask the sales lady to help, she did it herself, and took off the Audemars Piguet Oak worn by Fang Nian in a smooth manner;

Put on which watch the sales lady took out and put it on.

The strap fits just right.

After wearing it, Lu Weiyu revealed her face, and looked up at Fang Nian's side face: "Do you like it? This is the new millennium I specially chose for you."

Fang Nian: "..."

"like."

During the whole process, Fang Nian was basically dominated.

One is that I really didn't expect to be preempted by Lu Weiyu quietly.

Second, I never expected that Lu Weiyu would buy him an Audemars Piguet Millennium.

And also specially ordered the back, engraved with 'F·L·LUCK·Year' around it.

How should I put it, the Millennium series is a super failure that Audemars Piguet launched this year, and almost stopped producing the entire series within a few years.

The dial adopts an eccentric design, and the diameter of the male model basically exceeds 45 mm.

The model Lu Weiyu ordered for Fang Nian is no exception, with a diameter of 47 mm.

The front dial...it will look a little fancy anyway.

This watch almost spent the money Lu Weiyu earned this year, close to 600,000 RMB——

Lu Weiyu's total salary subsidy income so far this year is only a little over 900,000 yuan.

This also has to consider the expenses of the previous year, which is basically the limit. If it weren't for Mr. Lu's salary last year, there is still a balance...

Fortunately, the high-end models of this series are also at this price.

It's not that Fang Nian doesn't like it. With his wealth and status, it doesn't matter if hundreds of thousands are in vain.

He simply felt sorry for Boss Lu who worked so hard to earn money and didn't have a good eye on the list.

It was pushed to the pit by the damn Audemars Piguet official.

After walking out of the Audemars Piguet store, Fang Nian scratched his head and said, "Why do I feel that I am really taken care of by you?"

"Dare you earn half a year's worth of money, ah, spend it for me, and buy me a watch if you save a little more?"

"I'm happy." Lu Weiyu raised her head and said happily, "How about it?"

Seeing this, Fang Nian took advantage of the situation and pinched Lu Weiyu's raised face: "Okay, okay, you took the lead, now it's time for me to take you."

"..."

"Here, do you think this pin looks good with this dress?"

"..."

"This bag is the season's trend at Hermès, and this pony pendant is just right."

"..."

Compared to Lu Weiyu who bought a new watch for Fang Nian with almost the same salary, Fang Nian bought their new season models through almost all famous stores on Nanjing West Road, some of which were limited.

Clothes shoes bags accessories, from head to toe.

In addition to the large pieces, there are also some special small pieces.

Fang Nian specially selected some small accessories that are definitely IQ tax for boys.

Such as Tiffany pins;

Hermès leather charms, bag decorations, scarf buckles and more.

Let's put it this way, if you put something that costs 50 cents outside, and add a brand, you can start with 3000 to 5000 pieces.

This is what Fang Nian spent two days thinking about after discovering that today and tomorrow is Qixi Festival.

As Fang Nian expected, Lu Weiyu complained about Fang Nian's wasted money, and at the same time was pleased with the matching of these trinkets.

"I just bought clothes, bags and shoes. Why buy more of these? These things are obviously an insult to your IQ."

Fang Nian laughed: "Boss Lu, I suggest you look in the mirror when you speak."

"At first, I didn't understand why these brands launched so many so-called decorative gifts with various styles and very expensive prices."

"Now it turns out that I'm really a genius..."

Lu Weiyu blinked her eyes and said perfunctorily, "That's right."

"..."

It just so happened that Lu Weiyu left the door empty-handed, without even taking Xiaokun bag.

This will be a new bag on the back of the Hermès store, and a leather pony pendant hangs on the bag strap, gently dangling.

Lu Weiyu glanced at it twice, and couldn't help humming a little tune.

How can I still have the energy to complain just now.

Fang Nian couldn't help pinching Lu Weiyu's face when he saw it: "Tsk, it's a bit too much!"

"Oh, I belong to a girl too." Lu Weiyu looked around in the mirror, feeling very happy.

How should I put it, from his previous life to this life, Fang Nian has often dealt with these international big names.

Fang Nian has no opinion on the added value of the brand.

The only thing I always think is that Tiffany's pins, Hermès' charms, etc. are all IQ tax products.

Under the rendering of the media, I have not heard that anyone likes to buy it.

Secondly, Fang Nian doesn't know how to go shopping. He usually buys with a clear goal, and he has never seen anyone buy such a matching gift.

Until these two days, Fang Nian accidentally saw Hermès accessories on the Internet, thinking about the market logic of a big national brand from a commercial perspective.

Only then did I suddenly understand.

The simplest reason: If there is no audience for this kind of decorative gifts, as a commercial company, it will not maintain production for decades and spread these items in stores all over the world.

The simpler truth is: If there are no sales in these stores, there will be no inventory.

So the answer becomes obvious.

This kind of small gift, on the one hand, is used as a matching item, which will really add color, and users who often consume these brands will buy it.

On the other hand, because the pricing is not high compared to the normal series, some people with ordinary income levels will finally grit their teeth and choose the direction of consumption.

As the saying goes, both the rich and the poor are cheated.

That……

Are these consumers all brainless?

Are the girls collectively stupid?

No no no no, neither!

It's for a very simple reason: pleasure.

Spending two or three thousand yuan to buy an inconspicuous matching decoration can even bring pleasure that exceeds tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of items.

Because it is available at any time and for a long time that can last for several years or more—after all, big brands still have strict quality control.

Do not believe……

Look at the happy Lu Weiyu now.

Almost every girl who pursues the quality of life can hardly escape the pleasure brought by such small items.

And Lu Weiyu is at this stage right now.

Because the word nouveau riche can even be used to describe Fang Nian and Lu Weiyu now. Although they are rich enough to consume everything that money can buy, they don't have a lot of experience in life.

Fang Nian is fine, he has a memory from his previous life, which Lu Weiyu doesn't have.

Therefore, a few thousand dollars can also bring the same sense of pleasure to Lu Weiyu, who is nominally very rich.

At least a few years later, Lu Weiyu has experienced enough, and the source of pleasure will ignore the factors of money and brand.

In fact, even the rich second generation Guan Qiuhe is still at this stage, but has gone a little deeper.

For example, from the pursuit of bags and small gifts to private jets and the like.

Therefore, the saying 'money can't buy happiness, it can't buy happiness' is not absolute enough...

Both of them went out empty-handed in the morning.

Before leaving Nanjing West Road, the trunk and even the back seats of the scumbag Ben were filled with all kinds of packaging bags and boxes.

They drove their own cars when they came, and when they left, Lu Weiyu got into the Audi that Fang Nian was driving.

Not long after, Fang Nian took Lu Weiyu to a niche high-end restaurant that had been booked in advance.

It's almost time to eat.

Fang Nian made an excuse to go to the bathroom, and then pushed up a cake trolley.

Happy Anniversary written on the cake.

Lu Wei smiled.

"Sister Yu, happy first anniversary." Fang Nian smiled.

Then Fang Nian took out a ring box like a magic trick, and knelt down on one knee: "Sister Yu, will you still be my wife this year?"

"Ah~" Lu Weiyu couldn't help exclaiming, and quickly stood up to pull Fang Nian up.

He quickly said: "I am willing, I am willing, sir, get up quickly, you will be seen by others."

Fang Nian, who was pulled by Lu Weiyu to sit beside him, winked his eyes: "What are you afraid of, Madam and I have an aboveboard husband and wife relationship."

Even after being engaged for a year, Lu Weiyu still couldn't bear Fang Nian's wink, and couldn't help but blushed slightly.

Then, Fang Nian took Lu Weiyu's left hand: "Come on, sister Yu, put on this new ring."

"Isn't it a new one?" Lu Weiyu was stunned for a while.

Fang Nian smiled and shook his head: "No change, we should be unique, which means I am strengthening the seal, and tied you down again."

"Ah..." Lu Weiyu smiled slightly, "Aren't you afraid that my fingers are tired?"

Fang Nian said seriously: "Why, the new ring is not made of gold, but lightweight materials, and the total weight of the inlaid gemstones is less than 1.32 grams."

"Mr. is really thoughtful."

Seeing this, Lu Weiyu held Fang Nian's face and kissed it, then tilted his head and asked.

"So, sir, when will you grow up and marry me?"

Hearing this, Fang Nian said seriously: "Sister Yu, I'm still young, I want to play for a few more years..."

"Bite you~" Lu Weiyu pretended to be fierce, showing her neatly clenched teeth.

"..."

①: It can be said that almost all high-end luxury brands have opened their doors on Nanjing West Road. There are only a few who are not there, or their jewelry is more famous and they have settled in shopping malls, or they can only settle in shopping malls for other reasons, such as: Richard.

PS: Before I broke the bowl, I really didn’t understand those IQ tax products. I only realized it when I heard people talking about it recently.

PS1: Ask for a monthly ticket, the double is really coming to an end, this will reward the lord to send 133 monthly tickets, the heart is not as good as action
