Zhou Wang remembered something and pulled out a watch box from his pocket, pushing it in front of Miao Ying.
Miao Ying took it and quickly waved her hands, a rare hint of panic appearing on her usually expressionless pretty face, as she resisted, "No, Mr. Zhou, this is too expensive..."
Although Miao Ying wasn’t very familiar with luxury goods, she recognized the "Audemars Piguet" logo on the box.
She had at least a vague idea that the watch certainly wasn’t cheap, or rather, a watch from Zhou Wang couldn’t possibly be cheap.
"Take it, it’s an employment benefit, Xu Wenqian and Jiang Qingkui have one too. I’ve already bought it, do you want me to return it?"
Zhou Wang said with a smile.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing that it was an employment benefit, Miao Ying was visibly stunned, her expression a bit cute.
What kind of company gives out a luxury watch as an employment benefit...
When she was at the racing club before, the benefits were already quite good, and she often received gifts from sponsors, but she had never heard of such a thing.
The key point was, Xu Wenqian had already given her five or six sets of clothes, including Gucci sportswear and Hermes professional attire, and because they said it was "workwear" distributed upon employment, Miao Ying could only accept them.
However, afterwards, when she checked the prices, she had trouble sleeping, but those clothes were clearly tailored for her size, even the sports bra fitted perfectly, which made Miao Ying feel embarrassed yet unable to refuse...
While Miao Ying was feeling a bit at a loss, Zhou Wang had already sat next to her and naturally took her wrist.
"Come on, put it on quickly, let me see how it looks on you..."
Miao Ying’s skin wasn’t very fair, but it was exceptionally delicate, and due to her exercise routine, her muscles were firm, making it feel good to hold.
However, at this moment, Zhou Wang didn’t have any ulterior motives. He figured, given Miao Ying’s character, even if she accepted the watch, she wouldn’t wear it, so he decided to help her out further.
Taking out the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26470 from the box, after a bit of fiddling, Zhou Wang placed the sports watch with a black strap on Miao Ying’s wrist.
Actually, this sports watch was a men’s model, but girls could wear it too if the style suited them, and Miao Ying’s aura was certainly fitting for this kind of sports watch. Wearing it added a cool vibe to her, earning Zhou Wang’s silent praise.
"There’s also a white strap in the box, try it later and use whichever color you prefer."
After putting the watch on and admiring it for a bit, Zhou Wang commented.
Throughout this process, Miao Ying remained silent, only becoming slightly stiff when Zhou Wang sat next to her, then holding out her hand for Zhou Wang to maneuver as he wished.
Hearing his words, Miao Ying’s cheeks turned a little red as she pulled her hand back. She looked at it herself, a hint of joy flashing across her eyes, then softly said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou..."
"Ying Tao, unless something unexpected happens, you and I will be spending a lot of time together. In a sense, we’re like family... So there’s no need to be so formal with me."
Zhou Wang said with a smile.
Family...
Miao Ying silently savored those words, taking a sneaky glance at Zhou Wang, then nodded, "I understand, Mr. Zhou... um, Mr. Zhou, may I ask how much this watch costs?"
"Less than two hundred thousand, not much."
Zhou Wang replied casually.
Two hundred thousand...
Miao Ying lowered her gaze.
"I’m done eating, take your time and eat, I’m going to make a couple of calls."
Zhou Wang said after a moment, then pulled out his phone and stood up to make a call a little distance away.
Feeling the warmth beside her fade, Miao Ying breathed a small sigh of relief. She pursed her lips, then lifted her head to watch Zhou Wang’s silhouette in a daze for a moment, before unconsciously reaching up to touch her hair and not knowing what came over her...
...
The first call Zhou Wang made was to Lin Dong, the Hermes sales representative who had served him before.
The purpose of this call was due to a spark of inspiration Zhou Wang had last night. Of course, he didn’t know if it would work out, but there was no harm in trying.
"Lin Dong, it’s me, Zhou Wang... So, if I’m not mistaken, your sister’s current position is the assistant to the Chief Executive Officer of Hermes Greater China, right... Is it convenient for you to give me her contact information... Could you have her contact me, is that too much trouble, haha, alright... The old phone number will work, she probably can’t reach me on the new one... Okay, thanks."
After hanging up with Lin Dong, Zhou Wang glanced back.
At this moment, Miao Ying had also finished eating. Xiao An was helping the waiter tidy up the table for the two of them, still wearing that proper professional suit. However, her calves were bare today, surprisingly without stockings.
Zhou Wang looked for a moment, then withdrew his gaze. After a bit of thought, he dialed another number.
"Hello, Principal Luo, it’s me..."
...
At 11:30 a.m., the green and black interlaced Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly left the West Lake Four Seasons, smoothly making its way towards the headquarters of Wuyou Media.
Dressed in a black women’s suit, with sunglasses and white gloves, Miao Ying had more of a professional driver’s vibe, if one could overlook her attire being full of luxury brands...
Miao Ying was driving, while Zhou Wang finally took a seat in the back. Xiao An originally intended to sit in the front passenger seat, but when getting in, Zhou Wang stopped her.
"Come to the back."
"Oh, alright, Mr. Zhou..."
Even Miao Ying noticed the trace of nervousness in Xiao An, which left her slightly surprised.
