Chapter 820: Chapter 825: The Funds are Burning

Yang Yi looked at Xiao Ran and to be honest, he wasn’t very satisfied with this setup. How wonderful it would be if they were portrayed as a couple in a passionate love phase, always showing affection, kissing whenever they felt like it.

As for whether it was using public power for personal gain, Yang Yi actively ignored that.

Seeing that Yang Yi and Xiao Ran had stopped talking, Annastasia turned to Kate and asked, "Are the clothes ready?"

"Yes, we have regular clothes mostly, and we have some luxury brands too but they are too few. Should we purchase more immediately?"

Annastasia thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what their family background is set to be. If it’s a nouveau riche family, then we should buy some luxury items. But if it’s a family of officials, or a family that has raised young people with taste and substance, luxury brands are also necessary, but the choice of brand is very important."

Xiao Ran couldn’t help asking, "Can I wear ’London Fog’?"

Annastasia instantly responded, "No."

Perhaps feeling that her tone had been a bit too harsh, Annastasia slowly added, "I’m not questioning your taste. Actually, that brand is okay to wear, but given your identity setup, you shouldn’t wear it. It could appear occasionally, but definitely not frequently on you."

Kate pondered for a moment and suggested, "How about clothes without any obvious labels, all custom-made from well-known designers or luxury fashion houses?"

Annastasia frowned and said, "That’s going to burn through the budget. Their outfits together would require one to two million US dollars to meet the needs."

Yang Yi couldn’t help exclaiming, "What? Clothes cost that much?"

Kate gave a wry smile, "That’s the lowest estimate. If the task lasts three months, you’ll need three million US dollars for clothes, a million per month. You do the math."

"That’s ridiculous, way too excessive."

Watching Yang Yi shake his head, Annastasia said, "Yes, this set up is too high-end, there’s no need to waste so much money."

Yang Yi gave a bitter smile and said, "Just set me up as an ordinary rich second generation."

Annastasia sighed and responded to Yang Yi, "Your thinking is not rigorous enough. If you’re someone who loves to party constantly with friends and never-ending parties, you can’t possibly live quietly for months in a villa area in Nice. So, you must have a cultured air, your role needs to be of a young man with substance."

Kate firmly said, "Okay, the clothes will be standard, but the accessories should convey substance, showing the heritage of wealth."

Annastasia smiled and added, "Exactly, and besides, accessories can be used for a long time."

Kate picked up a pen and asked, "Three watches for Yang Yi should be enough, right?"

Without hesitation, Annastasia said, "At least five watches. Two dress watches should be Vacheron Constantin, one with a leather strap and one with a steel strap, one fashion watch from Audemars Piguet, and one sports watch from the Patek Philippe Nautilus collection. What sport do you like?"

Yang Yi whispered, "Racing."

"Uh, for F1, you like Ferrari, for WRC, you’re fond of the Citroën team."

"One racing watch should be a TAG Heuer Ferrari commemorative model, but this model is quite limited and might not be available soon. Otherwise, the Roger Dubuis F1 Champion Series could also be an option."

Kate looked up and said, "What is the Champion Series?"

"Roger Dubuis makes watches out of the parts taken from championship-winning racing cars. Although most are just made with rubber straps from tires, they suffice."

Kate noted down the watch mentioned by Annastasia.

Annastasia looked towards Xiao Ran and said, "You don’t need many watches, two should be enough. Choose the brands you like; they don’t have to be extremely expensive, but at least above twenty thousand US dollars each. Your focus should be on accessories."

Kate then said, "Let’s first finalize Yang Yi’s accessories. If we need these watches, then at least one suit is required, no, suits might not be necessary for the vacation, let’s start with the more important shoes instead."

Annastasia, without hesitation, said, "Time is pressing, and Germany doesn’t have good custom shoe brands. Let’s immediately go to Italy and get five pairs of leather shoes customized—three of the highest quality, two for daily wear. Even if they are not used this time, they can be used later. Also, sports shoes and casual leather slippers. The slippers must be from those favorite brands of the Middle Eastern royalty, no obvious logos, but each pair should be at least thirty thousand US dollars, mmm, two pairs of slippers should be enough."

Yang Yi could feel the budget really burning. These were big bucks.

Yang Yi wasn’t someone who liked luxury goods, so he couldn’t help but say, "Is this necessary?"

Annastasia glanced at Yang Yi, while Kate smiled and said, "Of course it’s necessary. You really don’t understand the lifestyle of those wealthy people. Look at Boer’s shoes and his watch, even while fleeing, his shoes are worth sixty thousand dollars."

Xiao Ran said mischievously from the side, "This is just a small portion. We haven’t even started on the big items yet. Wait till we talk about my bags, you’ll really feel the pinch."

Yang Yi had an ominous premonition, while Annastasia smiled and said, "Yes, yours is actually quite simple, just buy another pair of sunglasses, just a few tens of thousands of dollars."

"Sunglasses costing tens of thousands..."

Kate sighed and said, "Onto the main topic now. Xiao Ran’s bags, you must have all the models from last year till now. They can’t all be the newest ones. Changing bags every day, thirty should be about enough, right?"

Annastasia thought for a moment and said, "Barely enough."

Yang Yi asked shakily, "How much will that cost?"

Annastasia and Kate looked at each other, then Kate hesitantly said, "Would one million five hundred thousand be enough?"

Annastasia frowned and said, "It’s a bit less, but let’s try to save some."

Yang Yi wasn’t stingy. He really wasn’t a stingy person, but he couldn’t help but say, "Are you joking? Just bags, and they need so much money? Are you really joking? Do thirty bags need one and a half million, and in US dollars? You must be joking! And don’t thirty bags require a whole suitcase? This must be a joke, right?"

Kate shrugged and said, "They vary in size, thirty isn’t too many. And do you think those bags that everyone can buy, even if a bit expensive, qualify as luxury goods? Unfortunately, genuine luxury items are unrecognizable to the vast majority of people, and their prices seem like a joke."

Yang Yi realized, they weren’t joking.

Annastasia smiled and said, "We could buy fewer, let Blade Queen buy the newest models herself. That would be more reasonable, mmm, leave a budget for five bags, fifty thousand US dollars should suffice."

Kate spoke softly, "Then, we should discuss jewelry, it doesn’t need to be too expensive, right?"

Annastasia nodded and said, "Jewelry is secondary, a few hundred thousand will suffice. The real elite don’t carry all their jewelry with them, this will save a lot on the budget."

Yang Yi no longer wanted to speak. All he felt was the budget burning, his money thrown stack by stack into the water, unfortunately without even a splash to see.
