Conglomerate Children Who Look Poor
chapter 2
It turns out that all this time Afzal's parents and brother lied about those who worked abroad.
Afzal immediately contacted his parents. Of course they were angry after knowing that Afzal's brother leaked the secret of their wealth
without permission, but they realize they are the ones who should apologize to Afzal. Afzal's father said that he had no other choice, he wanted his son to grow into a humble person and explained everything to Afzal.
After hanging up the phone, Afzal headed to a nearby bank to take a hundred thousand dollars from his account and planned to use it to shop with some of the black credit cards his brother had sent him. Actually until this moment Afzal has not fully believed. Is this a dream? But on the other hand he was very happy.
“Ah, Xavia, if we haven't broken up yet, I'll buy you anything you want.”
“Yuri and Danny, you've always humiliated me and demeaned me all this time on campus. I wonder what you would react to if you knew all this.” Afzal smiled wryly.
It was almost noon when Afzal got out of the bank and soon after his phone rang. The hostel chief called him.
“Halo”
“Afzal are you okay? Why aren't you in the dorm?”
“Oh, yes I am out for a short walk.”
“We are really worried about you. Today is Naomi's birthday. He said he couldn't reach you, so he told me if you could come to his party tonight. He invited you a few days ago, didn't he?”
Afzal then immediately checked his phone and saw a list of missed calls. Sure enough, there were some calls from Naomi.
Naomi is Afzal's pretty classmate and they are very familiar. Afzal's only girlfriend. Besides Xavia, of course. Actually Afzal remembers a few days ago Naomi invited him to a party. But he did not give any response at the time considering his financial condition was still very difficult. Now of course he can behave like a normal person and mingle with his friends. There's no reason not to come to Naomi's party, right?
“Ah, yes, of course. I'll bring you the gift.”
After hanging up the phone, Afzal looked around and his eyes fell on Hermes' shop. A famous brand with luxury and expensive items in it. Although the price of goods there is very expensive, many rich children who shop there for prestige, of course.
Afzal initially had no intention of going in there. But she remembered the shopping card her brother sent her this morning. Hm.. He became curious.
All this time Afzal very sparing to spend his money. But the cards from her brother made her rawness slowly recede. After a long sigh, Afzal approached the magnificent Hermes shop.
“Good day, Sir. Can we help you?” one of the beautiful store employees greeted Afzal very politely.
Although with a slightly disdainful view because of seeing the appearance of Afzal. The woman continued to be polite. Actually he was used to visitors who just look around, but still did not think people with shabby looks like Afzal dared to enter his shop.
“I want to take a look first,” replied Afzal. This was the first time he had walked into such a luxurious shop so he did not yet know what to buy. The employee looked at Afzal with a cold look.
Suddenly...
“Yuri, would you like to buy me a bag?”
Afzal heard a familiar voice. A moment later he saw a beautiful woman enter the store in a friendly hand of a man. Afzal's facial expression changed immediately when he found out who had entered the store. Yeah, who else if not Yuri and Xavia.
The store employees left Afzal and welcomed them.
“Welcome, Mr. lowell. Whoa this is your girlfriend? Very pretty!” immediately the employee saw Yuri, her facial expression changing by 180 degrees. He greeted Yuri with a warm and bright smile.
Everyone knew who Yuri was and indeed she always attracted attention wherever she was. That was why the store employee hurriedly approached him.
“Hi Rachel's. Yes this is my girlfriend, Xavia. I brought her here to look around, I want to buy her a bag for”, Xavia blushed to hear Yuri say, she is really good at taking women's hearts.
Moments later, Xavia pointed to a bag that caught her attention, “Yuri, I want this bag.” The bag in question is placed in a glass cabinet. A luxurious and classy bag.
Rachel smiled and replied, This “Tas is a collector's special edition introduced during the celebration of Hermes' 200th anniversary. The amount is very limited, only produced 200 pieces and priced at fifty-five thousand dollars.”
“What?” Xavia was shocked to hear Rachel's explanation.
Yuri was also a little surprised then smiled and added, “And if not wrong, this bag is handmade by a very reliable craftsman, launched last year and entered into the top ten list of the world's best items. Right, right?”
Rachel clucked in awe, “wah, you seem to know a lot about bags, Mr.”
Yuri nodded and replied, “ya I like to find out about luxury items, but this bag is indeed too expensive.”
Yuri turned to Xavia and said, “sayang, you have a very good taste, but it is better to find another bag that costs five or six dollars.”
Fifty-five thousand dollars just for a bag? that's right! thought.
“Alright, then wait until I get a remittance next month.”
Some visitors who had heard Rachel's explanation to Yuri now began to approach the glass cabinet containing the bag. When Yuri added an explanation, she seemed to know a lot and people were impressed with her.
While at Afzal's place, ever since the store employee left him alone, he was already not interested anymore and did not want Xavia to see him there. Then suddenly a younger store employee approached him, “Sorry, Sir. What... what can I help?” When viewed from his nervousness and awkwardness, it looks like he's a new employee.
Afzal actually felt pity with his politeness.
“Oh, I'm looking for a birthday gift for someone,” the answer.
“Do you have a customer card, Sir? If yes, you can get a discounted price.” Although perhaps Afzal was her first customer, this girl did not judge Afzal by her outward appearance. In fact, he serves Afzal with full professionalism.
“Oh yes, maybe you can see this.”
Afzal issued an exclusive customer card that his brother gave him. The employee was a little surprised to see the card Afzal gave him.
“ini..ini black-gold card Master?”
The girl looked back at Afzal in astonishment. This young man looked like an ordinary student and did not look like a rich man at all. How could he have this exclusive card? Her thought.
Afzal confused then asked, “What is a black-gold card?”
“This is an exclusive credit card, sir. You can use up to three hundred thousand dollars with this card, while the minimum amount of the transaction is fifty thousand dollars.”
Afzal became increasingly confused, okay he already knew that his family was a rich man, but did not expect that this rich!
“Master, from the items we have in this store, to reach the minimum transaction amount you can not use it for regular items. But maybe you can use it for items in special editions. I'll take it for you.” The young employee bowed briefly and left Afzal still in confusion.
On the other side of the shop, Yuri and Xavia were still going around looking at the items there in awe.
The young employee unlocked the glass cabinet and took out a special edition bag.
Rachel was astonished and rushed to him, “Hei, Wendy! what are you doing?”
Wendy turned around and said, “I want to show this bag to a visitor.”
“Do you think this bag can be shown to just any visitor? Who is it?”
Rachel is getting upset at Wendy!
Wendy pointed to Afzal's place, “a guy over there?”
Yuri and Xavia who heard Wendy's reply set their sights on the person in question. Instantly they laughed.
“Hahaha!”
Yuri really could not help but laugh when she saw Afzal.
“Hei! What are you talking about? the guy wants to see a special edition bag?” yuri asked as her hand pointed at Afzal with arrogance. This must be a joke!
Yuri looked at Afzal with a condescending look, Afzal was embarrassed because other visitors also noticed him. Rachel also could not hide her regret, “Wendy! Are you really sure that guy will be able to afford to buy things in this store? come on don't joke!”
“I'm not kidding, Rachel. He has a black-gold card. He's a visitor VIP.”
“Hahaha!” Once again Yuri laughed out loud. “VIP visitor you said!? Hey, listen, he's just a badass at our college!”
Xavia looked at Afzal with a look of disdain and said, “Afzal, aren't you ashamed of yourself? Why don't you just leave here?”
“Hahaha!”
Other visitors also laughed at Afzal. The events in this store were a real entertainment for them.
Wendy finds herself in a difficult position as Rachel does not defend her either.
Afzal looked around, people were still laughing and looking at him contemptuously. He then decided to go to the cashier and took out a black-gold card from his pants pocket.
“I bought a special edition bag!”
