Chapter 246: Buying a New Watch

After dealing with Liu Lang’s situation.

Xu Shaochen went home. After all, there was an Etiquette class in the afternoon.

Once all the classes were finished, it was already afternoon, and Linda had also returned home from work.

“Want to go out for a walk?”

After dinner, Xu Shaochen looked at Linda and asked.

Linda stretched lazily, her tall figure’s curves on full display: “Boss, I’ve been busy all day. I don’t have the energy for shopping.”

“Then get some rest early.” Xu Shaochen nodded, then changed clothes upstairs and headed out.

“Boss, where are we going?”

Once in the car, Long Er asked.

Xu Shaochen pondered for a moment and then said, “To the School.”

As he finished speaking, Xu Shaochen dialed Zhao Qingyu’s phone.

“What’s up?”

When the call connected, Zhao Qingyu’s ethereal voice came through, clear and sweet like a nightingale.

“Teacher Zhao, let’s go shopping!” Xu Shaochen said.

“No time, it’s my friend’s birthday tonight. You go on your own.” Zhao Qingyu turned down Xu Shaochen.

But how could Xu Shaochen give up so easily? “No worries, Teacher Zhao, I can accompany you. Think about it, everyone else will be paired up, but you’ll be alone. How awkward!”

“Hmm… maybe I should just…”

“I’ll be waiting for you at the School gate.”

Before Zhao Qingyu could finish, Xu Shaochen directly hung up, not even giving her a chance to refuse.

He knew Zhao Qingyu usually stayed in the School’s teacher dormitory, so it was enough to just go and wait for her there.

When Xu Shaochen arrived at the School gate, he immediately saw Zhao Qingyu standing there.

After all, a top-tier beauty like Zhao Qingyu would become the center of attention anywhere. It was hard not to notice her.

Especially since she was wearing a black body-hugging dress tonight. Under the streetlight, she looked tall, elegant, and full of allure.

“Teacher Zhao.”

Xu Shaochen had Long Er drive the car up to her, then rolled down the window.

Zhao Qingyu didn’t stand on ceremony, directly opening the door and sitting next to Xu Shaochen. After all, the two of them were already quite familiar.

But once in the car, Zhao Qingyu’s face turned a little red. After all, she couldn’t forget that it was in this same spot where she was almost completely undressed by Xu Shaochen last time.

“It’s still early. When are you meeting your friend?”

Xu Shaochen didn’t notice the change in Zhao Qingyu’s expression.

Zhao Qingyu tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, trying to hide her inner shyness: “At nine tonight. Let’s go shopping first. What do you want to buy?”

What Zhao Qingyu didn’t know was that her hair-tucking gesture only made her more attractive.

“To the Rolex store on East Street.”

Xu Shaochen told Long Er. He planned to get a new watch. His old one had been through many hardships with him, and it had several wear marks.

Xu Shaochen didn’t bother getting it repaired; he just put it on the nightstand as a keepsake and decided to get a new one.

Soon, they arrived at the Rolex store on East Street.

He let Long Yi and Long Er wait in the car while he and Zhao Qingyu went inside.

“Welcome. How can I assist you… Qingyu?”

As soon as they walked in, a woman in uniform approached them. She seemed surprised when she recognized Zhao Qingyu.

“Xiao Ya, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect you to work here.” Zhao Qingyu was also surprised, but she seemed pleased, indicating that the two had a good relationship.

Xu Ya glanced at Xu Shaochen and then said to Zhao Qingyu, “Is that your boyfriend? Not bad, he’s quite handsome.”

Of course, she secretly thought Xu Shaochen looked a bit young, but she wouldn’t say that in front of him.

“No, he’s my student.” Perhaps feeling guilty, Zhao Qingyu instinctively explained.

But after explaining, Zhao Qingyu regretted it.

Because wasn’t this the equivalent of a guilty conscience saying there’s no silver here? If they really had nothing going on, why would she be out shopping with Xu Shaochen? Xu Ya was a bit surprised when she heard this. She had thought Xu Shaochen was too young, but she hadn’t expected Zhao Qingyu would be romantically involved with her student.

Under Xu Ya’s surprised and teasing gaze, Zhao Qingyu’s fair face gradually turned red. She avoided eye contact, not daring to meet her eyes.

After all, she couldn’t honestly say there was nothing between her and Xu Shaochen.

Oh my gosh, this is so embarrassing! It’s all this jerk’s fault, flirting with me all day. I’ve never even been in a relationship before!

“Excuse me, miss, have you forgotten about me? I’m the customer here.” Feeling Zhao Qingyu’s murderous gaze, Xu Shaochen diverted her attention.

Xu Ya realized this and quickly asked Xu Shaochen, “Are you here for after-sales service or to buy a new watch?”

Working at a Rolex store meant she had a good eye. She noticed that the total cost of Xu Shaochen’s outfit was more than her two-month salary.

Although he looked young, at least he’s handsome, wealthy, and successful. Zhao Qingyu really lucked out.

“I’m buying a new watch. Do you have the Day-Date series in stock?” Xu Shaochen asked Xu Ya. He had specifically looked at pictures online before deciding on this series.

Xu Ya was stunned for a moment before asking, “Which model are you looking for?”

The Day-Date series watches aren’t cheap. Each model costs hundreds of thousands, and in Longguo, prices are generally higher than in Europe, even crossing one million.

Buying a watch isn’t about spending the most money; it’s about matching your status and wealth. For example, if you have ten million in assets, would you really buy a one-million watch? However, at Xu Shaochen’s age, if he could afford such an expensive watch, it either meant family support or self-earned wealth.

Either way, it meant that Xu Shaochen’s net worth was beyond her expectations.

“The 218399-83219 model.”

Xu Shaochen named a model that made Xu Ya’s heart skip a beat. This model had just crossed the one-million mark.

“This way, please, sir. You’re in luck. We happen to have that model in stock.” Xu Ya took a deep breath, plastered on a welcoming smile, and glanced enviously at Zhao Qingyu.

Why couldn’t she meet a man this good? When a person is poor, all their virtues appear as faults; even breathing seems wrong.

Conversely, when a person has money, all their virtues are magnified, and even their flaws are seen as virtues.

For example, where she had just thought that Xu Shaochen was too young for Zhao Qingyu, she now felt that youth meant drive, modernity, and greater tolerance.

Xu Ya led Xu Shaochen further inside and sat him down in a lavishly decorated waiting room.
