🕑 Added 2024-12-10 13:03:49 +0000 UTCChapter 171: Young Master Zhou's Generosity
In the team building study dormitory building, Zhou Tonghui and Yu Mingfei, who had just been discharged from the hospital, were chatting with Tiannan, Tianbei, Bai Hongbo, Kong Zhenghui and others.
After Su Tianyu walked in, he immediately smiled and greeted the two: "Long time no see!"
"Oh, Brother Little Yu, you're back," Yu Mingfei immediately stood up and very formally extended his hand saying: "The debt of saving my life can never be forgotten!"
Su Tianyu shook his hand: "Let's not be so formal between us, it's good that people are back."
"Many thanks!" Zhou Tonghui also came over and politely said to Su Tianyu: "I've heard everything about what happened. If not for your suggestion... we might have been killed by Captain Niu's plan."
Zhou Tonghui had recuperated in the hospital for nearly ten days - his external injuries had basically healed and couldn't be seen at all.
"Please don't say that - Captain Niu had it tough too. Without him, this matter really wouldn't have been easy to handle," Su Tianyu replied casually. "We're all familiar faces now, let's not be so polite, otherwise it feels awkward."
"Alright," Yu Mingfei immediately agreed. "No more small talk - since everyone's here, let's get together, I'll arrange for tonight."
Hearing this, Zhou Tonghui immediately objected: "Now that we're in Huadu, how can we let you treat? I've already arranged everything, let's have a meal together."
"Arranged again?" Hearing him say this, Big Bai immediately felt a bit tired.
"It's arranged at Hualong Building," Zhou Tonghui looked down at his watch. "If everyone has no other business, shall we go?"
Su Tianyu had wanted to discuss association matters with Big Bai and Kong Zhenghui, but given Zhou Tonghui and Yu Mingfei's repeated enthusiastic invitations, he couldn't refuse. So after chatting for a while in the room, everyone left together by car.
Three cars quickly arrived at Hualong Building. Everyone took the elevator from the underground parking lot to the third floor luxury goods mall.
Su Tianyu asked in confusion: "Is the restaurant on this floor?"
"No, no," Zhou Tonghui waved his hand. "I'll take you somewhere."
"Where are we going?" Big Bai craned his neck to ask, already having a premonition that something good was about to happen.
"Come on, you'll know when we get there," Zhou Tonghui led everyone forward about a hundred meters before turning into a luxury watch store.
Everyone was stunned as Zhou Tonghui looked at them very generously and said: "Last time's matter troubled everyone quite a bit. To express my thanks, today everyone pick whatever you like, I'll pay."
"This is really too much...!" Bai Hongbo made a symbolic polite refusal before turning toward the counter: "We know some etiquette, won't pick anything too expensive."
"Have some shame," Su Tianbei looked at him sideways. "You're really going to pick?"
"Hey, I almost contributed my father, can't I pick?!" Big Bai replied righteously.
Hearing this, Su Tianbei had to admit he had a point and couldn't find fault, so he stopped trying to dissuade him.
Zhou Tonghui looked at Su Tianyu and said: "It's fine, I've saved up some money over these years, I can afford it. Pick whatever you like."
"Brother, really no need!" Su Tianyu replied helplessly. "Never mind being partners, even just as friends, helping out doesn't need this."
"I heard that for my matter, you even troubled your friends," Zhou Tonghui insisted. "Business is business, but proper courtesy can't be lacking. Consider me a friend and pick one."
"Ah, you're really too polite," Su Tianyu replied helplessly.
About two minutes later, Su Tianyu stood by the counter and picked a men's aviation watch. The price wasn't too expensive but not cheap either, around twenty thousand total.
Since he was picking, choosing something too cheap would be disrespecting Zhou Tonghui. But choosing something too expensive wouldn't be right either, so Su Tianyu chose a middle ground - a watch with an appropriate price that he also liked.
Beside him, Kong Zhenghui, Su Tiannan, Su Tianbei and others didn't pick anything, because quite a few people had come together - if everyone picked something, the final cost would definitely be quite high. Plus Zhou Tonghui clearly wanted to express thanks to Su Tianyu, and the others hadn't helped much, so there was no reason to take advantage of him.
But Big Bai did pick one, because his family had really put in a lot of effort for this matter, even having Bai Dabiao pretend to leave the district and take on some danger, so even if he didn't pick, Zhou Tonghui would have come to persuade him. Between men, pushing back and forth would be pointless, so Big Bai, looking foolish on the outside, still picked a luxury watch around ten thousand with diamonds and gold trim, very fitting his style.
After the two finished picking, Su Tianyu was originally preparing to leave but stopped when passing the women's watch counter, seeing a very nice-looking outdoor sports watch.
Su Tianyu paused and softly asked the sales staff: "How much is this watch?"
"Sir, this watch is nine thousand eight hundred. It's a special model our brand customized for outdoor women," the female sales assistant replied with a smile. "This model uses an alloy and resin case material that's ultra-light and durable, effectively preventing allergies. The sculptured case shows more tech feel. And the face is mineral-strengthened glass with very high wear resistance. The design is very thoughtful, with angular button divisions giving a very good feel."
Hearing her introduction, Su Tianyu thought this watch was really made for his gift-giving needs, so he smiled and said: "Take it out, let me see."
The sales assistant wore white gloves and carefully took out the watch.
Su Tianyu weighed the watch in his hand and looked at the shining face and color scheme: "Do you have this in blue?"
"Yes, you're very lucky - there aren't many blue ones, our store only has one."
"Then I'll take it, please wrap it up," Su Tianyu decided to buy it despite feeling a bit of pain in his heart.
A price of nine thousand eight hundred before the New Era would be worth fifty or sixty thousand - not cheap, but given Su Tianyu's current income, it wasn't excessive consumption either.
Zhou Tonghui walked over smiling: "Why buy a women's watch?"
"For flirting, of course," Bai Hongbo said with envy and jealousy. "This watch, you can't pay for him, otherwise it changes the meaning."
"Of course, I won't fight for this one," Zhou Tonghui nodded.
After a while, the sales assistant handed the exquisite gift box to Su Tianyu: "Sir, your girlfriend will definitely love this watch."
......
An hour later.
Everyone was eating in a private room at the Hualong Building restaurant. Zhou Tonghui had some drinks and said with a smile, waving his hand: "Brothers, to express my thanks, after we finish drinking, we have another venue."
"Where are we going?" Big Bai asked probingly.
"I had a friend help me book a symphony concert, we'll all go together later."
"Brother, if you say that, I might just kill myself right here," Big Bai immediately got anxious. "That's too torturous! Can't we skip the concert and such? Really don't understand it...!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Just... just... isn't there any... mating gathering or something?" Big Bai said weakly. "That... that I understand."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed vulgarly.
Outside, Su Tianyu called Wawa who had just arrived to the corridor alone and handed her the watch box: "You won't be able to go to the later venue, go back with Third Sister."
"...Ah?" Wawa blinked her big eyes and asked innocently and romantically: "Then... then what does this watch... mean?"
"You still don't understand?" Su Tianyu winked at Wawa.
Wawa immediately understood and her pretty face blushed: "...This... this is too precious. How embarrassing."
"Not expensive, I can afford it."
"...You... you secretly giving me a watch, aren't you afraid Big Bai will be jealous?!"
"Huh?" Su Tianyu was confused.
"...Then you... you can't call little sisters when you go play later!" Wawa blinked her right eye at Su Tianyu. "You understand?!"
"Huh????" Su Tianyu's face turned red: "I really don't quite understand!"
"You're awful!"
"...!"
......
At the same time.
Little Feng held his phone and turned to tell Wei Xiangzuo: "Laizi and the others aren't answering their phones anymore - our people at the port must all be in trouble."
