CHAPTER 1195: CHAPTER 1193: WISHING THEY COULD BE MAIDS

Sure, here is the translation:

Cao Ying was already struggling, and for Xiao Wen, Yang Li, and Zhou Hui, it was even more challenging.

The feeling of wanting to buy but being reluctant to spend was really unbearable.

"I like it." Cao Ying nodded.

Wasn’t it obvious?

Who doesn’t like luxury goods?

They represent a high-quality lifestyle and are a symbol of social status.

Those who don’t like luxury goods and think buying them is a waste are undoubtedly because they are poor.

"Then buy one?" Daphne laughed.

"Forget it, it’s too expensive, it’s worth three months of my salary." Cao Ying hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head, reluctantly putting the selected bag back on the shelf.

However, Lin Xiao seemed to be more financially well-off, and directly chose a bag over thirty thousand yuan and asked the attendant to take it.

Although Lin Xiao was just the head of the Sales Department, the Sales Department and the Production Department can’t be compared. As long as the sales performance is good, annual bonuses can be hundreds of thousands, even millions.

Moreover, Lin Xiao was also a member of the Lin Family and had shares in the Shiyan Group, though only one percent and it was in her father’s hands, but one percent of Shiyan’s shares was by no means a small amount.

So buying a bag over thirty thousand yuan wasn’t really a burden for Lin Xiao. In fact, even when in Huaxia, Lin Xiao would buy herself some luxury goods.

Seeing the look of desire yet reluctance on the girls’ faces, Daphne smiled lightly and said, "Girls, you can buy whatever you like, I’ll give you a ninety-percent discount."

Ninety-percent discount!

That means a ten-thousand-yuan bag would only cost one thousand yuan.

This is completely a losing deal.

But did Daphne care? Not at all.

She just wanted to show off her power.

In fact, she could have just given them away for free, but that would have been too pretentious, so she used this approach to give the girls a ninety-percent discount.

This was almost the same as giving them away for free.

"How can we accept this..." The girls felt a bit embarrassed.

A ninety-percent discount, isn’t that the same as getting it for free?

"You all call me sister, right? It’s only right for me as a sister to give you discounts. Everyone must buy at least one item today, or don’t call me sister anymore." Daphne pretended to be angry as she said this.

Since Daphne put it this way, the girls naturally didn’t hold back.

Besides, for Daphne, a few tens of thousands of yuan, does that count as money? Her one meal costs more than this.

Soon, each girl picked a Chanel bag.

"Brother Wang, aren’t you going to buy a bag for President Lin?" After choosing their bags, the girls, with happy smiles, chattered and asked.

Wang Dadong smirked, "Do I look like I can afford luxury goods? My salary is given by my wife. No, damn it, I don’t even have a salary!"

No matter how the girls tried to persuade, Wang Dadong refused them outright, saying he had no money and was only willing to give up his life.

"Stingy!"

The girls threw Wang Dadong a disdainful look.

As half the owner of Shiyan, how could he not afford luxury goods? Besides, they are offering a ninety-percent discount.

It wasn’t that Wang Dadong couldn’t afford it, but he shouldn’t buy, at least not in Daphne’s store.

Originally thought that the shopping at Chanel was enough, but Daphne took them to other world-renowned luxury brand stores like Gucci, Prada, and Armani. In each store, everyone was forced to buy something, with the same ninety-percent discount.

Although luxury goods are expensive, with the ninety-percent discount, a thirty-thousand-yuan bag is only three thousand yuan, which was almost acceptable for the girls.

Even if they don’t have money, they would borrow to buy.

What a joke, luxury goods have the best value retention, even if not for personal use, selling them back home could bring in several thousand yuan in profit.

In short, after a round of shopping, Lin Xiao, Zhou Hui, Cao Ying, Li Wen, and Yang Li’s hands became full of big and small bags.

Each face was filled with indescribable joy.

The previous visit to the aircraft carrier and the Acting Senate President’s personal reception were just empty gestures, but now, each person received great benefits.

These were world-renowned brands, things they never dared to dream of before, now each bought at least four or five items, can they not be happy?

"Thank you, Sister Daphne, you’re so good to us." The girls said gratefully.

Feeling that Daphne was simply the best woman on earth.

Daphne was quite pleased with this effect.

In Huaxia, it wasn’t a big deal, but in America, her noble status was immediately evident.

Just walking down the street, people would occasionally come up, looking surprised and say, "Wow, are you Madame Daphne? You are my idol; can you give me an autograph?"

That feeling of being in the spotlight, it’s almost like a celebrity.

Earlier in the girls’ eyes, Lin Shiyan was the most formidable woman, but after knowing Daphne, they immediately felt that Lin Shiyan wasn’t that impressive, just an ordinary woman.

Now, the only goddess in their hearts was Daphne.

With these girls having this mentality, you can’t really blame them, it’s human nature. Once you reach a higher level, you realize that what you thought was impressive is actually nothing much.

Finally, at night, Lin Shiyan thought she could finally relax, but unexpectedly, more frustration was yet to come.

Why? Because at night, Daphne invited everyone to her home again.

A large estate.

A private estate of eight thousand square meters.

With rockery, fountains, swimming pools, golf courses, large sculptures, and everything.

Besides these basic facilities, there was also a vineyard of more than three thousand square meters for making wine.

After entering the estate, the only feeling everyone had was that it was large.

Too large.

In Jiangdu City, owning a small one hundred square meter house is already enviable for many, but it’s not even as big as someone’s swimming pool here.

In the estate, there were thousands of servants and workers maintaining the estate.

The entire Shiyan Group only had over a thousand employees, who, although paid, were generating profit for the company.

Whereas the estate’s servants and staff were purely consuming resources.

Even with Huaxia’s minimum wage standard, a thousand people would mean a monthly expense of over two million yuan.

However, this is America, can a servant’s wage be only two thousand yuan?

This is what being rich truly means.

Even Lin Shiyan’s villa couldn’t compare to Daphne’s horse farm.

Yes, Daphne’s estate even had a horse farm with a dozen fine horses.

In today’s society, keeping horses is definitely more expensive than keeping cars.

Especially these professionally trained race horses, maintaining them is even more costly.

Reportedly, the annual cost for one horse is at least dozens of thousands, even millions.

What left these girls even more astounded was when they learned that the minimum wage for a low-level cleaner among the servants was two thousand... US Dollars, they almost wanted to quit their jobs and work for Daphne as servants.
