512: Chapter 484: The Financial Backer Behind the Scenes 512: Chapter 484: The Financial Backer Behind the Scenes “Welcome to Louis Vuitton.

Can I help you with anything?” The blond, blue-eyed saleswoman spoke fluent Zhong Xiao.

“Do you have the newest bags?” He Junpan asked the saleswoman.

“Please come this way.” The saleswoman guided the two into the store.

High heels, accessories, handbags, everything was what Qin Yan dreamt of.

She had betrayed her best friend for these things, but now, looking at the price tags, she felt they were still far too out of reach for her.

“This one!

This one!

And this one!

I’ll take them all!” He Junpan pointed at three new limited edition models without even asking the prices and decided to buy them on the spot.

He Junpan, with an air of extravagance, shopped for bags and then, as if she had only just noticed Qin Yan, said, “Sis, buy something you like!

My card gets a ten percent discount, you know.

You can save ninety thousand on this bag!

Even more on this one—how about this one?”

Looking at the bag He Junpan pointed to, Qin Yan’s heart bled—the number of zeros she couldn’t even count.

“What’s wrong, sis?

Don’t you like it?!

Or are you tight on cash these days?!” He Junpan looked at Qin Yan and asked.

Qin Yan, who prided herself as the belle of the art department, always commanding attention, had never been looked down upon like this.

Yet today, she was scorned by a small actress about to drop to second-tier, the pain in her heart nearly driving her insane.

“Charge it!

I’ll take this one!” Qin Yan immediately pulled out the credit card Xia Huai had given her, no longer able to stand the humiliation.

If she left empty-handed while He Junpan walked out with bags big and small, it would be worse than death.

“Of course, miss.

Please wait a moment!” The saleswoman said, taking Qin Yan’s credit card and leaving.

“Come take a look!

Come!

It’s the newest limited edition, so pretty!

So nice!

I really want one!”

“Wow!

My goodness!

Three hundred thousand?

That’s way too expensive!

Let’s just buy the regular ones.

Who on earth can afford this?!”

“Those two women are going to buy that bag?

So envious, they’re beautiful and have great figures, and they’re so rich!

It’s just unfair!”

“…”

Several women who walked in started discussing, and because it was the weekend and just after lunchtime, the shop grew increasingly crowded.

“I’m sorry, miss, but the authorization limit on your credit card is fifty thousand, so… you might want to choose another payment method.” The saleswoman returned the credit card to Qin Yan politely.

Buzz, buzz, buzz… Qin Yan’s face flushed with embarrassment as she received her credit card, her phone ringing.

Picking up, she was met with Xia Huai’s angry voice, “Where are you?

What are you doing?

Why did you max out the credit card?!

Don’t I give you enough normally?

If the bank hadn’t called to ask if I needed to raise the limit, I wouldn’t have known!

Be clear on your status!

How much have you earned for the company?!”

Xia Huai’s roaring voice on the phone was so loud that everyone around could clearly hear it, and many people began pointing at Qin Yan, starting to gossip.

“Did you hear that?

A man is screaming at her on the phone!

She looks so pretty, turns out she’s a woman who relies on a man for food and drink!

Who would have guessed!”

“Good-looking women usually can’t do much, especially those with an alluring air like hers.

Didn’t you hear her talk about making money for a company?

Maybe she’s a high-class call girl!”

“That’s very likely!

I heard that high-class call girls often cater to foreigners and tycoons’ sons, and they’re often abused.

I didn’t expect to see a real-life example!”

“…”

Qin Yan, already in extreme discomfort from Xia Huai’s scolding, was now publicly humiliated and tears swirled in her eyes.

He Junpan, seeing Qin Yan in this state, immediately stepped forward to defend her, telling the other women, “What are you blabbing about?

If you can’t afford it, just stand aside and watch!

Stop your chirping and complaining!”

“Ha!

Don’t think you’re so great!

Can’t you also not afford it?

We heard the phone call!

Prove it, buy it for me to see!

We can’t afford it, but at least we don’t do shameless things!

Begging for money beneath a man’s crotch!” A sharp-tongued woman immediately stood up to He Junpan.

Just then, the saleswoman came over with the bags He Junpan had purchased, handing them over along with her credit card.

He Junpan flashed the top-tier VIP card in her hand at the surrounding women, “Country bumpkins!

Recognize it?!

Blinding your dog eyes, huh?” Saying that, she pinched her card and pointed at the bag Qin Yan had wanted, “I’ll take this one too!

Wrap it up!”

“Right away!

Please wait!” The saleswoman cheerfully took the card and bag and left again.

The women around her looked at the pile of large and small bags at He Junpan’s feet and knew they had encountered a little rich lady, so they sneered knowingly and left.

After getting the bag, He Junpan handed it to Qin Yan and said, “Little sister, take it!

It’s a gift from your sister!

It’s just a bag, right?

No big deal!

Eh!

Why are you crying now?

Don’t cry!

Don’t!

Don’t pay any attention to those women, let’s go.”

As she spoke, He Junpan helped Qin Yan dry her tears and led her out of the mall.

Once in the car, He Junpan said to Qin Yan, “To deal with those kinds of people, you’ve got to use money!

Strength!

Make them shut up!

Did you see how poor they looked just now?

Hmph!

Women like them will never get to enjoy a top-notch lifestyle.”

Although He Junpan’s words were about the gossiping women they had just encountered, Qin Yan felt as if every single word was being spoken about her.

The two fell silent for a moment before He Junpan suddenly spoke again, very cautiously asking, “Little sister, the person who was yelling at you on the phone just now was Xia Huai, wasn’t it?!”

It took a while for Qin Yan to nod.

She had thought that by getting close to Xia Huai, she would have a wonderful life, but it was only today, after going shopping with He Junpan, that she realized how low her own status was.

To make matters worse, artists from the same company now knew of her embarrassing situation.

“Little sister, what’s the big deal?

For us women, especially those of us in the industry, it’s too hard to stand out on our own.

Just look at me, not favored by the company, no resources, relying just on some commercial performances, not even able to live a luxurious life, let alone pay off a mortgage.

If it came to that, I’d be sleeping on the streets!

So, there’s nothing wrong with relying on a man, but you need to open your eyes, my silly sister!

Who doesn’t know Xia Huai is not favored by Chairman Xia?

Didn’t you hear that because of a previous incident, Chairman Xia completely restricted his finances?

Such a man is struggling himself; why would you cling to him?” He Junpan thoroughly analyzed for Qin Yan.

Qin Yan really heard for the first time about an entertainment industry mogul’s heir not having any money.

If it weren’t for today’s credit card incident, she never would have believed it.

Qin Yan said with some grievance, “I…

I really didn’t know.”

“Ah!

Look at you, why waste your prime youth on Xia Huai, a sinking ship?

There are so many ways to become a big star if you want to live in high society, there are many more options!” He Junpan said earnestly to Qin Yan, like a senior guiding a lost junior.

“I…

I regret it so much!” Qin Yan said with tears, truly regretting that she had latched onto the wrong backer compared to He Junpan’s life.

“Ah!” He Junpan sighed and started the car without saying anything else.

After shedding tears for a while, Qin Yan’s mind gradually cleared.

Thinking it over and over, she felt that He Junpan was absolutely right.

She was younger and prettier than He Junpan; why couldn’t she live the same good life?

So, she tentatively asked He Junpan, “Junpan, you…

said there are many ways to live the lifestyle of a big star like you?”

“Yes!” He Junpan nodded, focusing on driving.

Seeing that He Junpan didn’t catch her hint, Qin Yan hesitated, then blurted out her question, “I…

I wonder if you could tell me how, Junpan?”

A faint, almost imperceptible smile flickered at the corner of He Junpan’s eye, and she immediately nodded, “Sure, if little sister really wants to meet that person, I can take you to see him right now.

Whether things work out or not depends on mutual willingness, and if little sister doesn’t want to, we can just leave, how about that?”

Qin Yan, overjoyed, still managed to put on a very shy expression, nodded her head slightly, and whispered, “Mhm!” Inside, she was calculating, if the man turned out to be greasy and fat with a big face, she would leave right away.

After all, without any relations happening, nobody could do anything to anyone.

After making up her mind, Qin Yan even started touching up her makeup in the mirror, all of which was noticed by He Junpan.

He Junpan immediately made a phone call, hardly speaking two sentences before hanging up, then said to Qin Yan, “All set, little sister, shall we go now?”

“Mhm.” Qin Yan nodded, hopeful about the man she was about to meet.

He Junpan drove the Porsche to the parking lot of a private club, then led Qin Yan towards the club.

Qin Yan, noticing the luxurious but eerily quiet decoration, guessed that this was not a place for just anyone.

Without a waiter to guide them, He Junpan led Qin Yan straight into a small private room and said, “Little sister, have a seat, I’ll go order some drinks.”

Qin Yan sat down nervously, and He Junpan left, only to return shortly with a bottle of red wine.

“Little sister, when you meet the person later, no matter how you feel or what you think, always stay polite.

If you disagree, we sisters can discuss it later when we leave, okay?” He Junpan said as she poured Qin Yan a glass of red wine, appearing like an old madam coaxing a young girl to entertain a guest properly.

Qin Yan downed her glass in one go, as if bracing herself for courage, draining the glass completely.

Just as Qin Yan set down the glass, a man sat down opposite the two.

“It’s…

it’s you!” Qin Yan’s eyes widened in surprise and panic, and with a hint of fear, she never expected to see Shi Qing’er’s agent, Liu Hun, here.
