Lin Wan noticed that President Pei had passed by several luxury personal care brands multiple times without even entering!

He didn’t even buy a luxury perfume gift set worth over 1,000 yuan!

What President Pei bought were all things related to work. Even the belt and leather bag were the type that would be beneficial for business negotiations!

Altogether, he had spent less than 100,000 yuan!

Lin Wan was shocked at such powerful self-control!

Honestly speaking, if it were anyone else earning 2 million a month—no, even 1 million—they would probably splurge on clothes, bags, and watches worth tens of thousands.

But President Pei was satisfied with spending less than 100,000 yuan!

It was truly admirable!

Thinking about President Pei’s generosity regarding office conditions and his magnanimity regarding salaries and bonuses, it formed a stark contrast with the current scene!

Lin Wan, Huang Sibo, and others couldn’t help but feel their eyes moisten slightly.

What a divine boss this was!

As for Pei Qian, he didn’t notice everyone’s reactions at all.

He was still racking his brains thinking about where else he could spend more money!

Now that he had entered a state of loss, every additional penny spent was pure profit!

However, he had already circled the mall once and had bought almost everything the System didn’t restrict.

Everyone’s shopping was mostly finished, and they gathered in the first-floor hall, each holding shopping bags, smiles radiating on their faces.

Paid shopping was truly enjoyable!

But Pei Qian didn’t want to leave just yet.

After all that effort to create a loss, only a bit over 3,000 yuan?

He wasn’t satisfied!

He looked at Xin Hailu, suddenly inspired.

“I want to buy some gifts for a friend who’s a boss. Do you have any suggestions?”

He couldn’t directly say it was for himself; that would seem very strange and trigger a System warning.

People would wonder, “If you want something for yourself, just buy it. Why ask us?”

But if he said it was a gift for a friend, people would offer suggestions, and Pei Qian could use this to figure out what things he still hadn’t bought.

Xin Hailu quickly began offering suggestions, and others chimed in as well.

They suggested high-end suits, perfume, watches, fountain pens, and so on.

Pei Qian shook his head repeatedly.

Most of these he had already checked out. He had bought what he could, and the System wouldn’t allow the rest!

After everyone had made their suggestions, they ran out of ideas, not knowing what else could be given as a gift.

At this moment, Lin Wan tentatively said: “How about… glasses?”

Pei Qian’s eyes lit up: “Glasses?”

Lin Wan nodded: “Yes, if your friend is nearsighted, you can give prescription glasses, though you’d need to know their prescription. Even if you don’t know their prescription, or if they aren’t nearsighted, you can just give frames.”

“Some nice glasses can enhance one’s aura, representing taste.”

Pei Qian felt like giving Lin Wan thirty-two thumbs up!

Glasses! How had he not thought of that?

Pei Qian wasn’t nearsighted and didn’t wear glasses, so he hadn’t considered this direction at all.

Now that he thought about it, buying glasses for himself also seemed reasonable!

He looked at Assistant Yan: “Where are the most expensive glasses?”

Xin Hailu thought for a moment: “There’s a Louis Vuitton store here that sells glasses, which should satisfy the ‘expensive’ requirement, but most are sunglasses. I’m not sure if that meets your needs.”

“Take me there.”

The two quickly took the elevator to the Louis Vuitton store and found the glasses counter.

Pei Qian looked at the prices—excellent!

The cheapest was over 2,000 yuan, and the most expensive was over 9,000 yuan!

A pair of glasses selling for over 9,000 yuan was somewhat beyond Pei Qian’s comprehension, but this was a good thing!

However, when Pei Qian picked up the sunglasses priced at over 9,000 yuan, the System prohibited it.

“…”

Pei Qian was speechless. Was the System not allowing this purchase?

Had he gotten excited for nothing?

He tentatively picked up another pair of glasses next to it, priced at over 8,000 yuan.

This time, the System didn’t issue a warning!

Pei Qian was overjoyed. After carefully comparing the two pairs of glasses, he found that the previous style was too flashy—sunglasses with an overly fancy frame, completely unsuitable for business needs.

This pair priced at over 8,000 yuan, although also labeled as sunglasses, had a thin gold wire frame. The lens shape was also more conventional, not as extravagant.

Pei Qian put them on and looked at Xin Hailu: “How do they look?”

Xin Hailu nodded: “They enhance your aura, President Pei.”

Pei Qian was ecstatic inside.

No wonder the System hadn’t warned him—because these glasses could be used as business glasses and indeed had the effect of enhancing one’s aura!

In the System’s concept, such glasses could be worn during business negotiations to enhance one’s presence, serving the same function as high-end suits, so they weren’t restricted.

Pei Qian directly took two pairs with slightly different styles—this was the maximum quantity the System allowed him to purchase.

“I’ll take them.”

Pei Qian immediately paid with his card.

The sales assistant was pleasantly surprised and quickly took out an exquisite gift bag to package them for Pei Qian.

After packaging one pair, when she was about to package the other, Pei Qian waved his hand, indicating it wasn’t necessary.

“I’ll wear this pair myself.”

Pei Qian directly removed the light gray sunglass lenses and put on the frames.

He looked in the mirror.

Hmm, it did seem to add a touch of scholarly elegance.

Good, he’d wear them!

After all, these were glasses worth over 8,000 yuan—they couldn’t just sit gathering dust!

Checking the System funds again, Pei Qian was satisfied.

After exerting all his effort, he had finally succeeded in losing over 20,000 yuan!

This was a small step for Pei Qian, but a giant leap toward defeating the System!

Back in the hall.

Everyone keenly noticed that President Pei’s appearance had changed slightly.

There was now a gold wire frame on his nose bridge, making him look much more distinguished!

“President Pei looks so handsome!”

“Did President Pei buy a pair for himself? They look great!”

“How much are those glasses? Must be over a thousand, right?”

Faced with the employees’ flattery, Pei Qian smiled slightly, his heart calm.

“Everyone, head home now. Taxi fares will be reimbursed by the company. Have a good rest over the weekend!”

……

……

On the 31st, the System settled accounts!

The screen appeared in Pei Qian’s vision once again.

【Wealth Conversion System】

【Host: Pei Qian】

【Surplus conversion ratio 100:1, Loss conversion ratio 1:1】

【Settlement in progress…】

【System funds: 478,723.5 (↓21,276.5)】

【Personal property: 608.3】

【Settling…】

【Performing wealth conversion…】

【System funds: 478,723.5】

【Personal property: 21,884.8 (↑21,276.5)】

Pei Qian was so moved he almost cried.

Finally!

After so much effort, he had finally succeeded in losing over 20,000 yuan!

Don’t underestimate these 20,000 yuan.

This was a historic step!

It was a small step in losses, but a giant leap toward success!

Soon, more content appeared on the screen.

【Next settlement time: 90 days later】

【Replenishing system funds, target amount: 1 million】

【System funds 521,276.5 replenishing…】

【System funds replenishment complete.】

【System funds: 1 million】

【Personal assets: 21,884.8】

【Special task for this cycle: The company must own any physical store, located in a bustling area or near a university campus.】

【Special task completion reward: An additional 10% increase based on the original conversion amount.】

Just as Pei Qian had anticipated, the System fund limit had increased again, from 500,000 to 1 million yuan!

If Pei Qian’s System funds had been above 1 million yuan previously, it probably wouldn’t have been replenished this time.

With Pei Qian’s spending spree bringing the funds down to just over 470,000 yuan, he had not only successfully converted over 20,000 yuan into personal property, but the System had also automatically replenished the funds to 1 million yuan—it was an absolute win!

Moreover, Pei Qian noticed several differences compared to previous settlements.

First, after reaching 1 million yuan, he no longer needed to painstakingly count zeros.

Second, the System had issued a special task: the company must own any physical store. If this goal were achieved by the time of settlement, there would be an additional 10% increase on top of the original wealth conversion value!
