Chapter 916: Chapter 346: Qi Jiayi’s Secret
Zhou Wang noticed that Lin Ran’s gaze at him became strange, but he only thought the other was shocked by the number of jewels here, and didn’t think much of it.
“Sister Ran, can you help out?”
Seeing Lin Ran just staring at him in a daze, Zhou Wang gave a reminder.
Because there were too many jewels, even though there were quite a few bank staff present, the process of verification and storage was still lengthy, also involving the signing of trust agreements and third-party insurance, among other things.
“Mm-hmm…”
A now awakened Lin Ran also went to help, while Zhou Wang made another phone call to Jiang Qingkui.
“Mr. Zhou, regarding the club’s renovations, the quality inspection company has completed their assessment, so…”
“Send their account details to Qianqian, I’ll arrange the transfer shortly.”
Zhou Wang responded, and confirmed the arrangements for the opening and the guest list with Jiang Qingkui.
After hanging up the phone, looking at the 28 million RMB spent, Zhou Wang felt a pang of pain.
The account balance, which was originally 140 million RMB, shrank again, becoming just over 110 million RMB.
At the time, after buying all the jewels, he had 150 million left, but bringing a large number of jewels back home, combined tax rates, and logistics fees, cost him over ten million.
There were some tax avoidance methods, but Zhou Wang chose to do it the honest way. As an unconventional millionaire, there was no need to engage in any crooked ways in these matters.
Despite nearly 30 million being spent instantly due to renovations, in terms of the Jingwang Club’s renovation and opening, according to Zhou Wang’s current plan, its importance in the entire process has been elevated once again. Thus, the money spent seemed worthwhile.
After finishing with Jiang Qingkui, Zhou Wang suddenly saw a female bank employee in charge of counting waving at him.
Zhou Wang walked over curiously, “What’s the matter?”
The young lady hesitated, blushing, handed a box to Zhou Wang, “Um… Mr. Zhou, the item inside might not meet the custodial standards…”
Zhou Wang was taken aback, quite puzzled. At the exhibition, he had purchased nearly two hundred pieces of jewelry, even the least valuable ones were worth more than 50,000 Euros, which converted to four to five hundred thousand RMB, fully meeting the bank’s definition of “valuable items,” how could it not meet the standards?
Casually opening the box for a glance, Zhou Wang’s pupils contracted sharply. When Lin Ran, feeling curious, leaned over, Zhou Wang quickly closed the exquisitely crafted box.
“What are you looking at, why are you so curious all day?”
“Ah, okay…”
Once Lin Ran walked away with a wronged look, Zhou Wang coughed lightly and explained to the bank lady awkwardly, “It might have been mixed up, just exclude this one.”
After speaking, Zhou Wang hurried away with the box. Once he reached his bedroom on the second floor and ensured no one else was around, he reopened the box and examined the contents.
Black lace, semi-transparent, the 3D patterns of moons and stars intertwined at that spot, exuding mystery amidst sensuality.
Zhou Wang couldn’t quite figure out the size, only from the shape, which seemed retained, he could tell the other was quite firm…
The key thing is… where on earth did this come from?
At this moment, when Zhou Wang’s fingers accidentally touched it, he was suddenly astonished.
Because on this thin, soft garment, there was actually a temperature!
At the same time, Zhou Wang heard the system prompt—
Ding!
[Host has acquired an unexpected item – Caroline’s Dream Knit Underwear]
[Caroline’s Dream Knit Underwear (permanent): Sleep time -100%, sleep quality +200%]
[Close your eyes, and you shall see more]
[Warm reminder: Additional benefits available when combined with “Caroline’s Silk Stockings”]
…
Upon hearing the system prompt, Zhou Wang knew he didn’t need to guess who the owner of this seemingly warm underwear was, for the system had already informed him.
What surprised Zhou Wang was that this was also an item.
And from its effects, it was undeniably powerful.
Cutting sleep time by half, yet doubling sleep quality, meaning, Zhou Wang might only need to sleep two to three hours to achieve what others get from seven to eight hours of sleep.
As is commonly known, humans spend at least one-third of their lives sleeping. If Zhou Wang used this item daily, wouldn’t it mean his lifespan would be indirectly extended…
Living to 80 could equate to living the life span of someone who reaches 120.
Whether day or night, he could find time for more things and people…
Moreover, this item seemed to be able to cure insomnia.
As for the “additional benefits,” the system didn’t say what it really was, so he’d have to test its effects at night.
After thinking it over, Zhou Wang carefully put away this magical underwear, and it was at this moment he discovered a small note inside the box.
He initially thought the note was left by Caroline too, but upon taking a closer look, realized it was not:
“Mr. Zhou, I’m Jing Ying, very glad to meet you, just to quietly let you know, I also like this style of undergarment. My phone number is 155xxxx (WeChat is the same) ꈍ◡ꈍ”
Zhou Wang was taken aback, then realized this note was put in the box by the young lady who discovered the underwear.
Unable to help showing his teeth in a grin, seeing as she seemed young with a shy demeanor, Zhou Wang thought she was really innocent…
