The next morning, Su Yajing left after finishing her soy milk.
The silly girl was a bit careless and spilled some on the bed.
Zhou Wang couldn’t continue sleeping, so he escorted Su Yajing to the door, watched her enter the elevator, and waved goodbye to him.
After seeing Su Yajing off, Zhou Wang noticed it was still early, so he headed to the hotel’s fitness center. Following his planned forty-minute run, he returned to the suite and then called Bella.
“Mr. Zhou, are you leaving today?”
As Zhou Wang had already informed her in advance, Bella knew he planned to check out today.
“Yeah, my home’s renovations are done, so it’s time to go back.”
“Please wait a moment, I’ll get your bill for you.”
The room charges and deposit had been continuously renewed, but Zhou Wang had incurred several expenses over the days that needed settling. The system only covered accommodation costs; Zhou Wang had to handle the rest himself.
Prepared in advance, Bella quickly brought over the detailed expense list.
“Mr. Zhou, after deducting your remaining deposit of 60,000, you still need to pay 36,000 yuan.”
Zhou Wang skimmed through it, finding no excessive expenses. The daily meals and afternoon tea were included in the room charge; the main costs were for drinks and occasional transportation. Most were from the wine and champagne Zhou Wang had extravagantly wasted.
Many smaller items were waived, but high-end wines like Lafite couldn’t be discounted.
As for the items Bella helped him purchase before, Zhou Wang had already paid for them at the time.

“I’ll transfer 40,000 to you, and the extra can be a tip for you and Old Yang.”
Zhou Wang contemplated and said.
Although Bella was just doing her job, she had done everything to his satisfaction over these days. Zhou Wang couldn’t say if every presidential suite private butler was like this, but he felt obliged to show some appreciation.
“It’s my pleasure, thank you.”
Bella didn’t refuse but rather bowed deeply to Zhou Wang.
After settling the bill, Bella brought over a yellow gift bag and handed it to Zhou Wang:
“Mr. Zhou, this is a small gift from our hotel to thank you for your stay. We hope you like it.”
“LV?”
Zhou Wang looked at the logo; unexpectedly, it was a luxury brand. Surprised, he placed it on the sofa and opened it.
Inside was a men’s wallet.
Zhou Wang laughed upon seeing the gift, “Did you pick this?”
“Yes, because I noticed your wallet was worn out before, so I thought you might need it.”
Bella smiled softly.
Mentioning this, Zhou Wang didn’t feel embarrassed anymore.
His wallet was a bargain he bought ages ago from a street stall for clearance at 8 yuan. He mainly used it for various cards, but the quality was poor and it had already torn in a couple of places.
This LV BRAZZA series wallet cost about five or six thousand yuan. To Zhou Wang, it wasn’t expensive, but it was something he genuinely needed.
Although LV often had the cliché design with big logos all over, at least their materials and details were impeccable, being a brand that started with bags and luggage…
“Very thoughtful, thank you.”
“I also prepared a full set of hotel gifts for you. I’ll place them in your car later. Additionally, our hotel manager learned you are checking out today, and has arranged a lunch in the restaurant to personally send you off. Is that convenient for you?”
Zhou Wang originally intended to refuse, but on second thought, expanding his network was also on his Reputation Value enhancement task list, so he agreed.
As the proprietor of a five-star hotel, the manager might not be considered part of the true power elite, but their connections were certainly vast. There was no harm in getting acquainted.
Before leaving the suite, now tidied up, Zhou Wang took one last look back.
Surveying the presidential suite he had become so familiar with, Zhou Wang felt a touch of reluctance.
After all, he had lived there for almost twenty days, and at least a little fondness had developed.
This affection wasn’t for the environment, but because this room marked the first step in his glamorous life journey.
So many firsts.
First experiencing the excitement of luxury, first indulging in extravagant spending, first gazing into the abyss of desire, first standing high up, overlooking the city’s lights from another perspective…
This room witnessed his mindset’s transformation…
“Let’s go.”
Bella didn’t know what Zhou Wang was thinking at that moment. But when he turned around, Bella felt like the young man’s demeanor had slightly changed again.
…
After a simple but exquisite lunch, Zhou Wang and the Wanda Hotel manager exchanged contact details. Then, accompanied by Bella, he headed to the underground parking lot.
“Mr. Zhou, regarding what you mentioned last time, even though I might not be able to continue serving you myself, I’ll keep an eye out for suitable candidates to recommend to you.”
“Okay.”
“Also, I’ve put together a few clothing sets for you. I’ll send pictures via WeChat shortly. Let me know if you need them; someone will deliver them to you.”
Although Zhou Wang bought three clothing sets initially, they were clearly insufficient for daily needs, which was why he also instructed Bella about this matter yesterday.
Back when he had only a few million, Zhou Wang didn’t feel it was urgent. But now, he wasn’t short on cash, and spending a few hundred thousand on clothes didn’t seem like a big deal.
Of course, just these few clothes were far from enough to fill the dressing room of his master suite; it was merely a drop in the bucket…
But for a man, having five or six decent outfits to alternate would suffice.
His two cousins in the countryside were worse off, possibly still wearing his old clothes, sent back by Zhou Wang’s mom…
“Mr. Zhou, have a safe journey. I look forward to serving you again.”
Sitting inside the Ferrari, amid Bella’s respectful farewell, Zhou Wang revved the engine and sped out of Wanda, arriving at Spring Eye in less than ten minutes.
The security guard at the B1 entrance promptly removed the “Parking Full, Please Park on B2” sign when he saw Zhou Wang’s car and saluted him.
Arriving at his private garage, Zhou Wang handed the keys to the quickly approaching property staff member, then looked back at the nine empty parking spots. He suddenly remembered he still had another car to pick up…
Last night, maybe realizing she wouldn’t see Zhou Wang for a while, Su Yajing clung to him relentlessly. Zhou Wang had to exert a lot of energy to restrain her, resulting in a slight daze now, almost making him forget about it.
Something worth over three million that he almost forgot is quite something…
Zhou Wang went home to put away some items, then thought for a moment and sent a message to Ding Yi.
“Beep beep!”
“What are your orders, Your Majesty? .jpg”
Ding Yi replied quickly.
“Would you be available to keep me company tonight?”
“Sure, Zhou Wang, you’re getting more casual speaking to me. Men do change with money!”
“You can’t say that; all men are naughty. Poor ones just can’t act on their naughtiness…”
“Darn it~ I want to argue, but my experiences tell me you’re right!”
“You guys are returning today, right?”
After some casual chat with Ding Yi, Zhou Wang asked.
“Yes, we’re on our way, arriving at the train station by 4:30. Are you coming to pick us up?”
With this, Ding Yi also sent a selfie, leaning on the unsuspecting Jiang Mo.
Other girls might have to wrack their brains to capture the perfect photo, but for the two of them, with their top-notch looks, it’s effortlessly born.
Completely unreasonable.
“What are we to each other that you want me to pick you up?”
Zhou Wang glanced a few times before replying.
“Hmm, you seem to be expecting our relationship to change, Zhou Wang! You’re acting odd!”
“What a pity this isn’t a conversation from three years ago.”
“True love doesn’t fade with time!”
“But it does change…”
“What do you mean?”
Amidst the teasing, Zhou Wang looked at the “question” emoji Ding Yi sent last and didn’t reply. He got up, grabbed his coat, planning to pick up the car first.
…
Ming City had about six Mercedes-Benz 4S shops. The one Zhou Wang visited was located on Dianchi Lake Road, not the closest to him, but one of the largest of the six.
Probably because the existing stock was hard to find.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class was once an overlooked box-like car more than a decade ago, but now it’s undoubtedly a popular model from Mercedes-Benz…
Taking a cab to the store, he explained his purpose. The enthusiastic sales lady guided Zhou Wang into the store and efficiently completed the paperwork. Half an hour later, Zhou Wang received his purchase contract and the temporary license that was processed that morning.
In the delivery hall, inspecting the car, Zhou Wang saw the Mercedes G63 that the system found for him.
A 2023 model with a matte platinum gray color, commonly known as the “panda version,” not the matte black Zhou Wang desired, leaving him slightly disappointed.
However, after some conversation with the sales staff, he learned that the store not only didn’t have the 2024 model in stock but only had two 2023 color options left. The other was a flashier “matte magic flame green.”
Moreover, only this panda version was the top configuration; the green one was the standard.
Thinking about it, the system was quite considerate.
The more he looked at it, oddly, the gray started to seem more pleasing.
Zhou Wang looked at the contract: with 100,000 for insurance and 300,000 added cost, the final total price was 3.45 million.
Oh, that explains why it’s growing on me…
Not comparable to his Ferrari 812C, but Zhou Wang’s excitement wasn’t diminished much.
Everyone has things they yearned for in their youth, and the Mercedes G-Class was definitely one of Zhou Wang’s dream subjects. At least last month, he didn’t believe he’d have the chance to drive such a car in his lifetime…
“Mr. Zhou, you haven’t test-driven your new car yet. Would you like me to accompany you for a spin and introduce the interior features?”
While Zhou Wang caressed the hood, the sales lady who had been assisting him smiled and asked.
Which car to test drive, which interior to admire, you should make it clear…
Zhou Wang glanced at her: professional attire with black stockings, a masked half-face that was decent, slender figure – overall reminiscent of Sun Yi, just in a different uniform style.
Under normal circumstances, Zhou wouldn’t mind spending a little time to see what she’s up to.
But not today, as he had more pressing matters.
Leaving contact information, Zhou Wang added the sales manager named “Meng Jie” to his “seafood” contact group. Seeing the small list of contacts, he paused.
Initially created as a whimsically dark-humored contact group after a haircut, it unexpectedly grew in size.
[Time Hairstyle Studio – Shell]
[LV Sales – Lisa]
[Mercedes-Benz Client Manager – Meng Jie]
[Cartier Sales Consultant – Xiaoyou]
…
And not even counting Sun Yi.
To be fair, the women weren’t all stunningly beautiful, but definitely boasted top-tier looks in their own stores…
Zhou Wang pondered and thought people should be kinder; “seafood” as a group name felt somewhat insulting.
So he altered it to “Sales Collection” before putting away his phone.
Sitting in the Mercedes G-Class, starting the engine, Zhou Wang pressed the gas pedal and drove towards the train station.
Time to give the senior a little surprise.
