Chapter 834: Chapter 319: An Impromptu “Kidnapping” (Part 2)
Listening to Miss Yang for a while, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but frown. Does that mean the path he finally thought of is blocked again?
Seeing Zhou Wang’s disappointed face, although Miss Yang didn’t understand why Zhou Wang wanted to buy so much advanced jewelry at once, she thought about it and joked:
“I do know a place that can definitely meet your needs, but unfortunately, it’s not very realistic…”
“What place?”
Zhou Wang’s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.
“Paris.”
Miss Yang laughed, “Among the world’s top five jewelry brands, three originated in France, and although the other two don’t have their headquarters there, they also have flagship stores in Paris. It’s not an exaggeration to say Paris is their second headquarters. In that city known as the fashion capital and art capital, you can definitely see various kinds of high-end jewelry…”
Paris…
Stunned, Zhou Wang then understood why Miss Yang was speaking in a joking tone.
Damn, it really is unrealistic.
Do I need to fly abroad just to buy something?
Hmm, why not?
Zhou Wang suddenly realized that he seemed to be caught in some kind of impoverished mindset.
What’s wrong with going abroad? Abroad is still on Earth!
Moreover, Zhou Wang suddenly remembered, although his first secretary, whom he never met, wasn’t French, the address Zhou Wang saw last time at Patek Philippe was an estate located somewhere in France…
Setting these random thoughts aside, Zhou Wang quickly asked Miss Yang:
“How long does it take to fly from Beidou to Paris?”
“If it’s a direct flight, about 11 hours.” Miss Yang instinctively answered, but then, from Zhou Wang’s serious expression, realized something, making her pause, “Don’t tell me, you really want to go…”
“Why not go?”
Zhou Wang smiled, then seriously said, “I have a reason to buy a batch of advanced jewelry, and since going to Paris is the most convenient, then let’s go to Paris!”
Zhou Wang quickly calculated that the duration of [Endless Blade] is 24 hours; it’s now a bit past two in the afternoon, leaving about 20 hours before the prop expires. Subtracting 11 hours for travel and time spent going to and from the airport, under the most lenient calculation, he roughly has 6 to 7 hours to shop for jewelry.
Although he had never been abroad, Zhou Wang vaguely remembered that Paris isn’t very big, maybe only a few hundredths the size of Beidou…
That is to say, as long as the plan is well thought out, and if Paris is indeed as filled with big-brand jewelry workshops as Miss Yang described, time should be ample!
At this thought, Zhou Wang grew more tempted, but there was another issue: he needed to immediately find a guide extremely familiar with Paris.
Needless to say, Miss Yang was still the most suitable candidate.
So Zhou Wang couldn’t wait to speak up, “Miss Yang, I have an impolite request…”
“…Accompany you to Paris?”
Just as Zhou Wang started speaking, Miss Yang had already guessed it.
“Yes, is it convenient?”
“Including today, I happen to have two days of free time, but Zhou Wang, you seem to still think things are too simple…”
Miss Yang said helplessly.
“What’s the problem?”
“The flights!”
Miss Yang shook her head and laughed, “While there are quite a few flights from Beidou to Paris, there aren’t more than two direct flights daily, and from what I know, they’re all scheduled for the early hours. If you take other flights, including layovers, it usually takes over a day… I wouldn’t mind going to Paris to shop and have a little vacation, but surely you can’t waste a majority of my precious two-day holiday on a plane, can you?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but frown.
The only direct flights are in the middle of the night?
Not only would Miss Yang be unhappy, but he himself couldn’t wait until midnight; by then, it would be too late…
Seeing Zhou Wang in a dilemma, Miss Yang blinked and joked again.
“If you can take me flying to Paris right now, then I’ll accompany you, otherwise, I really can’t help…”
It seems there really isn’t a solution…
Zhou Wang frowned and thought for a moment, just about to reluctantly give up, when suddenly his phone rang.
Zhou Wang answered the phone; it was Huang Duming calling, mainly to inform him that those luxury shopping guides had already been sent away and to ask if Zhou Wang had any other instructions.
Zhou Wang casually responded, preparing to hang up the phone, when unexpectedly, Huang Duming brought up another matter:
“Um… Mr. Zhou, that Manager Cui from Feitian General Aviation is still waiting for you in the property office. You see…”
Huang Duming sensed Zhou Wang’s impatience, so his tone was especially cautious.
“Manager Cui?”
Zhou Wang was initially stunned, then remembered Huang Duming’s report from last night, and he was surprised, “When did he arrive?”
“Uh, Mr. Zhou, he didn’t leave last night and stayed directly in our office for the night. I thought he seemed quite sincere, so…”
“Oh, have him go back first; I really don’t have… Wait!”
Zhou Wang, speaking halfway, suddenly realized something and jumped off the sofa, “Bring him up right away… Never mind, I’ll come down directly. Don’t let him leave.”
To save time, Zhou Wang didn’t bother explaining to the four women in the room, only telling them to wait, quickly changing in his room into the new clothes he bought, and rushed out.
…
Five minutes later, in the local property office, just as Cui Yeqing had tied his tie and was ready to greet Zhou Wang warmly, he sat confused as he looked at Zhou Wang.
