Chapter 119: 119 Soft Meal, Hard to Swallow

"Xiao Bai, haven’t you already gotten quite a few offers from big companies? Have you decided where you want to go?"

Bai Zheli shook his head.

"Chen Ge, what about you?"

"Me?"

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment.

In the past, he hadn’t had any great ambitions, just like most college students: follow the steps, work solidly, not asking for great wealth, just needing enough to provide Ai Qian with a stable life. But, after all, man proposes, God disposes.

"I’m thinking of starting my own business."

Bai Zheli was startled at this, obviously somewhat surprised.

Starting a business requires capital, and he was well aware of Chen Ge’s financial situation.

However, he didn’t dampen his friend’s enthusiasm, and after a moment of surprise, he exclaimed, "Chen Ge, you really have ambition."

Jiang Chen smiled wryly.

"If you need any help when the time comes, you have to help me out."

"Of course."

Bai Zheli nodded without hesitation, thinking his friend was only joking.

After spending a few hours there, the two left the library and went to eat in Cafeteria Four.

"Are you at school?"

Li Shuru called.

Bai Zheli cast an envious look.

Once upon a time, Chen Ge was tossed around by an Ai Qian, yet now it seemed his luck had turned, gaining the favor of a girl like Li Shuru.

Bai Zheli found it unbelievable, only able to marvel at how unpredictable fate was.

"I’m eating at Cafeteria Four, what’s up?"

"I bought something for you. Come down to my dorm building to pick it up later, I’ll be there in about fifteen minutes."

From her voice, Li Shuru seemed to be driving. At the same time, you could faintly hear Zheng Jingjing muttering in the background, though it was unclear exactly what she was saying.

Jiang Chen was a bit surprised but replied, "Okay."

"Xiao Bai, I’m heading over to the girls’ dorm."

"Go ahead, Chen Ge."

After eating, Jiang Chen and Bai Zheli parted ways, and Jiang Chen headed toward the girls’ dorm alone. The evening sky was tender, the scent of osmanthus fragrant, as youthful groups of boys and girls chatted and laughed as they passed by.

On the way, Jiang Chen checked the current balance of his "licking dog" funds, roughly two billion, with the luxurious apartment in Spring and Autumn Plaza taking a massive chunk of that.

Over one month, he worked tirelessly to bring his favorability from a dreadful -100 to a hard-earned 80.

Just ten points short of the goal.

Success was within reach.

Although the journey was hard and tortuous, it was undoubtedly worth it. Once the courtship was complete, he would become instantly rich, transforming from a penniless man to a multimillionaire overnight.

When heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a man, it first exercises his mind with suffering and his sinews and bones with toil. It starves his body, empties his body, and confuses his actions...

The ancients did not deceive me.

"Buzz..."

Jiang Chen bought a bottle of water from the convenience store next to the girls’ dorm and saw Li Shuru’s Panamera approach and park smoothly.

Four girls got out of the car, laden with big and small shopping bags, clearly having been out shopping.

The girls had mixed reactions upon seeing him, especially Zheng Jingjing, with a fiery look in her eyes as if she wanted to devour someone. Jiang Chen wondered what he had done to offend her this time.

"Here."

Compared to the others, Li Shuru only had one bag in her hand, which looked quite classy with a logo that Jiang Chen felt looked somewhat familiar.

"What’s this?"

"A watch."

A watch?

Jiang Chen looked surprised and lifted his gaze, "For me?"

Li Shuru nodded.

Today, she didn’t buy anything for herself when shopping, just this watch, obviously premeditated.

"Jiang Chen, you better notify your relatives to check on your family’s ancestral tomb."

Jiang Chen looked puzzledly at Zheng Jingjing.

"Your family’s ancestral grave must be smoking!"

She said through gritted teeth.

Jiang Chen could not help but laugh and cry.

"Take it."

Li Shuru passed the bag into his hands.

Jiang Chen wasn’t a fussy person. Since Li Shuru had already bought it and he roughly understood her thoughts, she probably felt like she owed him too much and wanted to repay him a little.

With Li Shuru’s pride, accepting so many favors from him, even if she didn’t say it out loud, she must have felt uncomfortable about it in her heart.

Accepting this gift should make her feel somewhat better about it.

"Thanks."

Jiang Chen didn’t refuse and reached out to accept it.

"You don’t even ask how expensive the watch is, you just take it?!"

Zheng Jingjing’s face was pained as if she desperately wanted to snatch the watch back.

"You should go back."

Li Shuru said softly.

Jiang Chen nodded, remarkably thick-skinned, and walked away without any shame, politely greeting Xu Siyi and the other girls as he left.

The girls watched him merge with the fiery clouds on the horizon.

"Shu Rui, you must keep the receipt safe. If you two don’t end up together, you must get your money back from that guy!"

Zheng Jingjing was thinking long-term.

Xu Siyi glanced at Li Shuru.

Li Shuru was staring at Jiang Chen’s retreating figure.

"When it comes to business acumen, Shu Rui is stronger than any of us; you don’t need to worry needlessly,"

Xu Siyi said cryptically, carrying the clothes she had purchased, making her way toward the dorm building.

"Jiang Chen, what are you holding?"

"A watch."

Jiang Chen entered the dorm room.

"Holy shit! A Vacheron Constantin?!"

Luo Peng let out a howl as he recognized the brand on the bag.

Vacheron Constantin.

Jiang Chen was stunned.

No wonder he found the logo somewhat familiar.

Although he was short on money in the past, as a world-renowned, top-tier watch brand, he had of course heard of the name.

"Jiang Chen, you didn’t buy a counterfeit online, did you? This bag looks pretty genuine, how much did you spend?"

Luo Peng leaned in.

Li Shao and Bai Zheli also curiously examined it.

"This was given to me by Li Shuru."

Jiang Chen was also surprised.

He thought the bag might just contain a regular watch, not expecting Li Shuru to be so generous.

"Given to you by Li Shuru?"

Luo Peng was astonished, then hurriedly said, "Quick, open it and take a look."

Jiang Chen placed the bag on the table and took out the hefty wooden watch box.

"Damn! It’s a real one!"

Even without seeing a receipt, the quality of the watch box and the warranty card was enough to confirm the authenticity of the Vacheron Constantin.

A counterfeit couldn’t match this level of luxury.

Jiang Chen opened the watch box.

"It’s beautiful."

Bai Zheli couldn’t help but admire the exquisite wristwatch lying quietly inside the box.

"Pengzi, how much does this watch cost?"

Li Shao couldn’t hold back his question.

Among all the roommates, Luo Peng had the broadest horizon.

"A Vacheron Constantin, even the entry-level ones start at ten w, but the price of this watch... let me check."

Even with Luo Peng’s wide exposure, he couldn’t know everything, and with the variety of watch styles, he couldn’t be sure.

He took out his phone, snapped a photo, and searched online, quickly finding the answer.

"Over four hundred thousand..."

His face twisted.

Even Li Shao, the most composed dorm leader, was shocked.

A watch worth over four hundred thousand?

Bai Zheli, who had just recently talked about girls being overvalued at the library, gasped in astonishment.

The others looked at Jiang Chen, speechless for a long time.
