Pei Qian continued browsing around the store, moving to the headphone section.

“Ma Yang, I remember your headphones are still those twenty-something yuan items from street vendors,” Pei Qian said, looking at Ma Yang.

“Uncl— Oh no, President Pei, they are from street vendors, but they work quite well.” Ma Yang stopped himself just in time, avoiding revealing his relationship with Pei Qian in front of others.

“How can that be acceptable? Street vendor products are street vendor products—how can they be good enough? This latest headphone model, 2,999 yuan. Take it. Anything under ten thousand is just making noise,” Pei Qian directly placed the headphones in Ma Yang’s hands.

Ma Yang was stunned: “Uh, President Pei… but my current work has nothing to do with headphones…”

Ma Yang currently does odd jobs in the design group, basically occasionally filling out forms, using editors, or requesting resources. His work indeed had little to do with headphones.

Pei Qian thought for a moment: “It’s preparation for future work. You might need to communicate with outsourcing companies in the future, requesting music and sound effects. Without a good pair of headphones, when outsourcing companies provide music and sound effects, you won’t be able to tell good from bad. How can that work?”

Ma Yang scratched his head: “But aren’t the headphones provided with the company computers already quite good?”

Pei Qian’s expression darkened: “Can you take the company computer headphones home? What if there’s an emergency after work hours and you need to communicate with the music outsourcing company?”

Ma Yang was speechless.

It seemed… There was some logic to it…

A smile blossomed on his long face as Ma Yang accepted the headphones and scurried off to pay.

Like Xiao Lü, he genuinely wanted to buy them but was reluctant to spend his own money, yet felt somewhat embarrassed to use the special reimbursement allowance!

But with Pei Qian’s urging, they were completely free of psychological burden.

With the items in hand, it was just one word: beautiful!

The key was that they didn’t have to spend a penny of their own money—the company reimbursed everything. Where else could you find such a good deal?

Soon, both of them completed their purchases.

Xiao Lü immediately switched to his new phone, clearly reluctant to put it down.

The group continued browsing the mall, with Pei Qian watching his employees closely to see if anyone dared not to spend properly!

He forced Huang Sibo to buy a new tablet, under the pretext of “improving productivity.”

He forced the two young receptionists to buy some beautiful clothes, under the pretext of “enhancing the company image.”

There were other items too—, whenever he saw employees wanting to buy something, he immediately found an excuse to approve it!

In some cases where he really couldn’t find an excuse, such as a male employee wanting to buy a woman’s handbag as a gift for his girlfriend, Pei Qian was truly at a loss and could only suggest alternatives.

After inspecting the mall, Pei Qian expressed satisfaction.

Yes, everyone had spent most of their money!

Checking the System funds, originally 1.1 million, after Pei Qian’s crazy operations today—paying salaries, bonuses, issuing shopping cards, and implementing “special reimbursements”—he had already spent more than 530,000 yuan.

The System funds had 570,000 yuan remaining.

“Well, now it’s all up to me…”

Pei Qian knew that the other employees had done their best. For the last 70,000 yuan, he had to personally take action.

After making a 70,000 yuan loss, every additional cent spent would convert 1:1 into personal assets!

Now it was the final step of the long march, and he needed to complete the mission in one decisive battle!

Pei Qian first went to a high-end suit store, deliberately avoiding JCA, where he had purchased before.

However, he quietly left soon after.

The System refused…

Probably because Pei Qian had bought too many suits last time, and the System believed he did not need additional clothing at present.

Next, Pei Qian went to the Rolex store, wanting to buy a watch.

This time, the System didn’t directly refuse.

However, from the most expensive model costing over 200,000 yuan all the way to the end, the System only allowed him to buy the most basic entry-level model for 40,000 yuan!

Although it was still a Rolex, it was too cheap…

Pei Qian was slightly annoyed, but thinking that 40,000 yuan was still money, he decisively took it.

As the saying goes, “The more Rolex you wear, the more responsibility you bear.” Pei Qian believed that as a boss, he was the person with the greatest responsibility, so wearing a 200,000 yuan Rolex watch was reasonable.

But the System didn’t seem to think so, probably feeling that Pei Qian was only worth 40,000.

Pei Qian was quite frustrated.

He continued browsing.

If he couldn’t even buy a better watch, then other things with less relevance to work would be even harder to buy.

Such as expensive men’s perfume, men’s skincare products, and so on.

Pei Qian wasn’t in a hurry, though. With over 40,000 yuan spent, he finally had some confidence.

Just a bit more effort, this was the final sprint of spending!

Lin Wan and Huang Sibo had long completed their shopping quotas and were casually following Pei Qian, quietly observing their boss.

Lin Wan, in particular, was extremely curious about what President Pei would buy!

However, after watching for a while, she found that her understanding of President Pei seemed to have been overturned again!

In his personal life, President Pei was such a frugal person?!

She could see that there were some things Pei Qian genuinely wanted to buy!

Like that classic luxury perfume gift set from the brand starting with G, an item costing around 1,000 yuan, which President Pei clearly liked.

However, after looking at it, he put it back down!

Then there was that custom-made suit, which President Pei even tried on briefly. It fit well and looked good, priced at just over 10,000 yuan, yet he didn’t buy it either!

And for the Rolex watches, President Pei looked from the 200,000+ yuan models down to only taking the cheapest entry-level model, just over 40,000 yuan!

A successful boss like President Pei only wears a Rolex worth just over 40,000 yuan??

Lin Wan was shocked.

Pei Qian continued browsing, buying bits and pieces.

Items forbidden by the System, he had to give up.

Items not prohibited by the System, he bought them all!

Even so, Pei Qian couldn’t buy too many things.

Because the System’s restrictions were too numerous!

He took a Montblanc pen, over 7,000 yuan; bought a gold belt from the brand starting with G, over 3,000 yuan; bought a men’s business bag, just over 20,000 yuan…

Some were the most expensive, some were mid-range—it all depended on the System’s restrictions. All Pei Qian had to do was buy the best within what the System allowed.

After browsing around, Pei Qian found there wasn’t much else worth buying.

After taking inventory, Pei Qian felt he had bought quite a lot, but there weren’t many bags in his hands.

The total price of all items was 73,000 yuan.

He had incurred a loss of over 3,000 yuan!

Pei Qian couldn’t help but show a happy expression.

A historic step!!!

This was the result of a spending spree, and also the lasting victory of consistently upholding the principle of “not the best, but the most expensive”!

Every cent spent from now on could seamlessly convert into his assets!

But Pei Qian’s smile, in the eyes of others, had a somewhat different meaning.

Lin Wan was extremely moved.

With Sea Fortress being so successful, conservatively estimated, President Pei must be earning at least two million yuan a month.

Yet, he was still so frugal?!
