"Mr. Zhou, it’s also related to whether you get sun exposure, stay up late, and have mood swings, etc. You’re living a luxurious life without worries, so your skin is naturally great," Chen Mei said with a sly smile.
Zhou Wang shrugged, and after some thought, he decided to have Chen Mei place the set of skincare products in his bedroom. After all, it was Xu Wenqian’s thoughtfulness, and using it once in a while wouldn’t hurt.
He wondered what Hua Suisui would send him. Out of all the women around Zhou Wang, she was the one he communicated with the least. It was only after Zhou Wang dropped a Carnival in her live stream that they started chatting from time to time, mainly because Zhou Wang rarely replied to her before that...
After unpacking the package labeled with SF Express cold chain, he found a very ordinary vacuum-sealed box. From the label, Zhou Wang instinctively thought it might be something edible. The content of the greeting card was also quite standard but ended with "There’s a limited edition signed photo of me inside."
A signed photo? What do I need this for? And if it’s just a photo, why vacuum-seal it? When Zhou Wang lifted the box lid for a look, he stood there dumbfounded.
White, lace, partially sheer, seductive style... A string of keywords flashed through Zhou Wang’s mind.
Alright, alright, it’s a signed cover like this, huh? Definitely limited edition. But Hua Suisui was way too bold, didn’t she care about her image? The key point was that there was no warning, no lead-up. The gift was way too unexpected.
How did she dare?! How did she know I would like... uh pfft, of course, I don’t like this stuff! What decent person would like this!?
After a few seconds, Zhou Wang realized something was off, especially with two women standing nearby... Sure enough, when Zhou Wang looked up, Jiang Qingkui and Chen Mei were also staring dazedly at what was in the box. Chen Mei’s small mouth was slightly open, clearly stunned, while Jiang Qingkui’s expression didn’t show much change, but her eyes were unusually curious.
Swoosh! Zhou Wang put the box lid back on with a blank face.
"Mr. Zhou..."
"This really isn’t something I asked for with her."
Zhou Wang interrupted Jiang Qingkui as she started to speak, explaining very earnestly. "Mr. Zhou, I never doubted you... We know your character well enough, Sister Mei and I definitely trust you." Jiang Qingkui only smiled, but to Zhou Wang, it looked like a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
"Ahem, I’ll handle this myself. I’ll mail it back to her later... Such nonsense, sending all sorts of random stuff!" Zhou Wang refrained from handing over the suspected intimate apparel of Hua Suisui to Jiang Qingkui. He just cleared his throat lightly and said it.
After setting Hua Suisui’s gift aside, Zhou Wang picked up the final gift from Shen Yutong. This one should be a normal gift, right? Although the gift box was small, Zhou Wang still felt a bit anxious, like once bitten twice shy. He first lifted a corner of the gift box to ensure there wasn’t anything peculiar inside, and only then did he open the whole box with peace of mind.
But to be honest, he didn’t understand the gift Shen Yutong sent either. A card without any greeting, just a local address in Ming City, detailed down to the door number. Then, there was a lone key...
Huh? What’s the meaning of this?
...
After tallying up the gifts, Zhou Wang took Hua Suisui’s and Shen Yutong’s gift boxes back to the main bedroom. Everything else was fine, but these two peculiar gifts clearly needed his personal attention. But first was the issue of reciprocating.
It’s Valentine’s Day, after all. He might have forgotten it, but since they all sent him gifts, he couldn’t possibly not respond at all... That’s not how friends treat each other.
Although every girl’s gift to him was different, Zhou Wang evidently wasn’t in the mood to pick out return gifts individually, so after brief contemplation, he chose the simplest and most straightforward method—sending red envelopes.
The gift from Senior was the one he was most satisfied with, that went without saying, it had to be a big red envelope! ...Although it seemed like, in reality, it was her own money.
After some thought, Zhou Wang opened the City Commercial Bank app and transferred 1,314,520 yuan to Jiang Mo’s account. When filling in the note, Zhou Wang hesitated for a moment before he finally typed: "Senior Sister, love you."
Shortly after the transfer was successful, Senior Sister replied to him via WeChat: "Me too."
Although Senior Sister had responded, the system’s cashback notification hadn’t chimed again, evidently because [Jiang Mo’s Desire Consumption Gold] allowed him to transfer money to Jiang Mo directly but didn’t allow this method to exploit any loopholes.
Then, it was Su Yajing’s turn. A continuous combo of 131,400 and 52,000 made Su Yajing call out "Daddy, daddy" non-stop.
For the others, he could be a bit more casual. Zhou Wang generally sent out a uniform amount of 8,888 yuan.
Only when it came to Yu Duo, considering she might actually be a bit strapped for cash, did Zhou Wang add another 8, sending her 88,888 yuan. This silly girl was a bit embarrassed to accept it at first, and it was only after Zhou Wang said a few more words that she finally accepted the transfer, and she ended with a response: "Then, then next time I’ll play with your feet... alright?"
Zhou Wang became extremely displeased at once: "Do I seem like that kind of person?" Before Yu Duo had a chance to react, Zhou Wang quickly added another sentence: "But since you insist so strongly, I can’t refuse your offer... Maybe we can try silk next time."
Little Yu Duo: "...I got it."
After finishing all the transfers, Zhou Wang looked at his account. Excluding the fortune given to Senior Sister, his cash had just been deducted by the bank—14.8 million to pay off the balance on the phone number, and adding this recent splurge had pushed him below the ten million threshold, leaving him with just over 9.8 million now.
