The next day, Zhou Chao woke up early and sent a message to Ye Zhengfeng, saying that he had something to attend to in Modu. He mentioned that he would make it up to him the next time he came to Peng City, then left the hotel and got into the car driven by Da Wu, heading to the airport.
Three hours later, Zhou Chao had already landed at Modu Hongqiao Airport. He looked at the Lamborghini Veneno parked in the parking lot and furrowed his brows slightly. After being parked for several days, the car was covered in dirt. After a brief contemplation, Zhou Chao opened the car door and got in.
Driving the Lamborghini Veneno, Zhou Chao found a nearby car wash and drove right in. Perhaps it was close to noon, and the car wash wasn’t very busy. Zhou Chao handed the keys to the staff and went to the waiting room.
“Hey.” While sitting in the car wash waiting room and playing with his phone, Zhou Chao was surprised to see a dynamic update on his friend’s social media feed.
The screen displayed a photo of Eldest Brother Li Yang and Shen Lan, and the background of the photo was unmistakably Modu. Zhou Chao hadn’t expected that Eldest Brother had quietly started a relationship with Shen Lan. Intrigued, he dialed Li Yang’s number.
“Hey, Second Brother, did the sun rise from the west today? How did the busy you manage to remember to give me a call?” Li Yang’s voice playfully echoed through the phone.
“Hey, Eldest Brother, you’re impressive! You’ve managed to win over a beauty so quickly. It’s only been a few months. Tell me, how far has it progressed?” “Get lost, you’re talking about me. Look at yourself, aren’t you also in a relationship now?” Li Yang immediately retorted upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words.
“We had love at first sight, mutual affection, and it’s destined!” Zhou Chao defended his situation.
“Urgh, when did you become so cheesy? You used to be a straightforward guy, and now you’re all smooth-talking!”
“Enough of that. Eldest Brother, when did you officially start dating Shen Lan?” Zhou Chao’s curiosity was now piqued.
“Just a few days ago, she happened to come over from Bingcheng for a visit, and 1 spent a few days with her. We’ve been in contact all along, so it just naturally happened!”
“Eldest Brother, treat her well. Don’t approach this with just a playful attitude.” “Nonsense, I’m already heading towards marriage. Don’t worry about it. I won’t chat with you for now. I’m busy here. We’ll talk when 1 have time.” Li Yang hung up the phone after saying that. Zhou Chao looked at the disconnected phone and couldn’t help but smile.
“Sir, your car is ready!” After playing with his phone for over half an hour, Zhou Chao finally saw the car wash attendant approaching.
“Okay, thank you!” Zhou Chao paid and drove away in the Lamborghini Veneno, leaving behind a group of envious car wash attendants who watched as he drove away from the car wash.
Exiting the car wash, Zhou Chao drove straight back to The Palms Residence. After staying in a hotel for several days, he felt much more relaxed upon returning home. He reclined on the sofa.
Glancing at the USB drives in the system’s inventory and then shifting his gaze to the check-in page.
“System, check-in!”
“Congratulations, host, for checking in and receiving the Exquisite Watch Gift Bundle!”
“Watches!” Zhou Chao sat up from the sofa, looking at the Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon on his left wrist. It seemed like he had been wearing this watch all along, without ever changing it. He hoped that this time, he would get some good-looking and practical watches.
“System, open the gift bundle.”
“Opening the bundle. Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Graff Diamond MasterGraff Structural Tourbillon, Jacob & Co. Billionaire, Hublot BigBang, Richard Mille RM026-1 Panda, Franck Muller Mega4, and Richard Mille Meteorite Watch.”
Zhou Chao looked at the six boxes that appeared in the system space. He took the boxes out and placed them on the table. Gazing at the exquisite boxes, Zhou Chao began to examine them carefully.
He started by looking at the Richard Mille watches he was more familiar with the Panda and Meteorite models. After studying them for a while, he placed both watches back into their boxes. Out of the two, he preferred the Panda model.
Zhou Chao then proceeded to open the box of Franck Muller watches. As he looked at the multiple time markers on the dial, he decided to put the watch back in the box. It seemed too complicated, and his eyes were getting a bit blurry from staring.
“Hublot BigBang”, valued at around 35 million, was a dazzling watch that seemed capable of emitting light in the dark. Zhou Chao was immediately drawn to it when he took it out. The watch was entirely made of diamonds, with a total of 1280 diamonds set in it. Zhou Chao tried it on his wrist and felt a unique sense of style. After playing with it for a while, he put it back in the box.
Looking at the two unopened boxes, Zhou Chao’s eyes filled with curiosity. He wondered what kind of surprise awaited him next.
The “Jacob & Co. Billionaire” caught his attention. Zhou Chao looked at the plaque on the box and pulled out his phone to search for it. In no time, a webpage popped up, confirming that the watch he had was indeed the “Billionaire”, valued at 18 million US dollars.
Zhou Chao quickly opened the box to reveal a watch that sparkled with bursts of light. Holding the phone in one hand and the watch in the other, he studied it closely.
The case and strap of the Billionaire were both made of 18k gold, adorned with 260 carats of GlA-certified emerald-cut diamonds. Among them, 30 diamonds weighed a remarkable 3 carats each. The case and back of the watch were made of transparent blue sapphire crystal, allowing a view of the skeletonized movement. The overall design exuded luxury and extravagance.
After placing the Billionaire back in its box, Zhou Chao turned his attention to the last box, his eyes filled with anticipation.
As he opened the box, he was greeted by a dazzling array of colorful lights that emanated from it. Fully opening the box, he saw a watch adorned with multicolored diamonds resting quietly inside. Zhou Chao once again used his phone to search for it; after all, this watch before him was truly unfamiliar.
The “Graff Diamond MasterGraff Structural Tourbillon”, valued at 380 million, displayed on his phone’s screen left Zhou Chao utterly stunned. Even he couldn’t help but reveal an astonished expression at the price. He looked at the watch for a moment and then put it away. If he were a girl, she would surely be enamored with it. He decided to give this watch as a gift to Jiang Li.
Surveying the six watches on the table, Zhou Chao kept the “U-Boat U-1942 Explosion” and the Richard Mille Meteorite Watch. The other four watches were placed in the bedroom’s storage.
Zhou Chao took off his Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon and replaced it with the “Hublot BigBang” he had just obtained from checking in. He planned to give the Richard Mille Meteorite Watch to Si Cong as a birthday gift tomorrow.
After organizing the watch boxes, Zhou Chao prepared to go out for a meal when his phone rang from inside his bag.
“Hello, Brother Yang.” Seeing that it was Xiao Yang calling, Zhou Chao knew that things were likely settled.
“You rascal, where are you now?”
“Just got back to Modu. What’s up?”
“Come to Jingdu as soon as possible. Regarding the special steel matter you mentioned last time, let’s discuss it in person. It’s not something that can be explained over the phone.” Zhou Chao fell silent for a moment upon hearing this.
“Got it, Brother Yang! I’ll come to Jingdu as soon as possible!”
“Alright, that’s it for now. I have other matters to attend to!” With those words, Xiao Yang hung up the phone. Zhou Chao pondered for a moment, then grabbed his keys and headed out the door..
