Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

Zhou Yuwen said thank you, I'm not lonely.

Bickering aside, the things that need to be bought still have to be bought.

So Zhou Yuwen asked Zheng Yanyan to make a list. Of course, it couldn't be just her own items; Lu Lin, Tao Tian, Qu Jing, and the other girls' gifts needed to be listed as well.

Then he sent it to Lu Wanting.

Asked her to buy all the items in the next few days.

The little girl, even if she wanted to buy luxury items, would at most dare to ask for a few tens of thousands of items. Any more than that, Zheng Yanyan wouldn't dare to ask Zhou Yuwen for, fearing he might think she's gold-digging and not want her.

So altogether, these items only add up to a little over two hundred thousand.

Lu Wanting and Zhou Yuwen spent less than an hour in the mall and finished shopping.

Making Zhou Yuwen wonder: "Just these?"

Lu Wanting nodded, indicating that the list only had these.

Zhou Yuwen thought to himself, that definitely isn't enough. Coming all the way to New York, you have to splurge a little. Otherwise, making sixty million would be for nothing.

So Zhou Yuwen wandered aimlessly in the mall with Lu Wanting, bought two Hermes belts, and several high-end suits, spending about four to five hundred thousand in total.

At last, when they reached the watch section, looking at the prices marked on the counters, they were easily several thousand dollars or tens of thousands of dollars, with a small watch costing as much as a sports car.

However, the two are indeed not comparable. A sports car depreciates after two years.

While a wristwatch worn on the hand might double in value after a couple of years.

Zhou Yuwen wasn't really a man of taste; after all, he wasn't some pampered aristocrat in his past life. Around thirty years old, with financial freedom, he would buy a few luxury watches and such, but to say he liked them is an overstatement.

It's like coming to this lavish mall, looking at these finely crafted watches one after another.

To Zhou Yuwen, not much difference, but he does know that brands like Rolex and Patek Philippe are limited worldwide. Even if you have the money elsewhere, you may not get the model you like.

Some middle-class families are obsessed with watch culture.

It's common for them to have a dozen luxury watches at home, wearing a different one each day, seemingly wealthy. But actually, by buying these watches, they not only don't lose money, but make quite a bit.

At least, Zhou Yuwen knows that a few Patek Philippe watches before him, now selling for around twenty thousand US dollars, could sell for fifty thousand or even seventy thousand US dollars in five years.

Zhou Yuwen looked at the watches in the counter before him.

Lu Wanting asked Zhou Yuwen if there was any he liked.

"Do you want to buy a watch? See which one you like, and I'll have her take it out for you to try on." Lu Wanting, being a secretary, was quite competent.

Zhou Yuwen nodded and said: "Please have her pack up all these watches for me."

"Huh?" Lu Wanting was puzzled.

Zhou Yuwen said: "I'll take all these watches."

"..."

Okay, kind of seems like a nouveau riche, but certainly bold, discovering for the first time that one can buy watches like this.

Zhou Yuwen explained that since he just bought a villa, it's fitting to add a few watches on the surface, so he can choose which one to wear upon waking up each morning.

"True, given the Patek Philippe market now, buying these watches means not only not losing money, but you might earn!" Lu Wanting, somewhat knowing her stuff, said with a smile.

Zhou Yuwen nodded.

"But,"

Thinking of this, Lu Wanting couldn't help but worry a bit, saying: "You did spend a bit too much today..."

Indeed, just on watches alone, buying over a dozen, with an average price around thirty thousand US dollars, it converts to about two million four hundred thousand, plus another one hundred and fifty thousand on a car.

Lu Wanting wasn't demanding anything from Zhou Yuwen; she just wanted to remind him that he still had business in China, needing operating capital.

Can't just spend all his funds here in New York, right?

Zhou Yuwen nodded, agreeing it's true.

"Ultimately, it's because there isn't enough money. So, Sister Waning, what are your thoughts?"

"Huh? Me?"

Lu Wanting was taken aback.

Zhou Yuwen said: "I'm considering registering an investment company in New York, but I don't have a trustworthy person around, and Su Qing is too young. Sister Waning, you've studied here for two years, familiar with this city. If you're willing to stay and help me, it would definitely be a great asset, and of course, I'd compensate you fairly."

That's how Zhou Yuwen was, laughing and joking one moment, addressing her as Sister Waning, feeling like just ordinary friends.

In the next moment, he adopts a businesslike attitude.

This attitude left Lu Wanting momentarily unable to adapt, even more afraid to meet Zhou Yuwen's earnest eyes.

She could only lower her head and say: "Didn't you say, let me think about it?"

"Yes, I know, I'm not rushing. I just wanted to state my position." Zhou Yuwen nodded.

Lu Wanting hung her head in silence.

At this moment, the store clerk had packed up over a dozen watches and brought them over; Zhou Yuwen proceeded to pay by card.

On the way back to the hotel, Lu Wanting told Zhou Yuwen that if he were to bring all these watches back, he might have to pay a considerable amount in taxes.

Zhou Yuwen said it didn't matter; he'd wear them one by one.

"First, buy a house over here, for you and Su Qing to stay."
