Super Rich by Doing as You Please

Chapter 341 - 172: When You’re Young, You’re Supposed to Be Dating

"Let me treat you instead."

Xu Yun smiled. "Consider it my treat for making a new friend. Let’s keep in touch."

"Alright, then. Thank you very much, President Xu."

After they finished their discussion and left the fitness center, Xu Yun asked, "By the way, did you drive here?"

"No, my driver isn’t in today, so I took a cab."

Yang Siqi said awkwardly, "Besides, I’m not a very good driver. My skills are lacking."

"Okay, then ride with me. I’ll give you a ride home after dinner."

When Yang Siqi saw Xu Yun’s Bentley coupe, her eyes lit up.

After getting in the car, she praised, "President Xu, this is a beautiful car. You rarely see a black one in Jiangcheng. It must have been expensive."

"Over three million. It’s alright."

"That’s half a year’s profit for my company."

For a business owner like Yang Siqi, a car worth over three million was truly expensive.

The car her company used for receiving clients was just a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle worth a little over one million.

Just as she said that, she glanced down and spotted a watch in the center console to her left.

"President Xu, you like watches, too?"

Yang Siqi said, "I noticed you’re wearing one, and there’s another one here in the car."

"Not really. The one I’m wearing was a gift."

Xu Yun explained, "As for this one in the car, I came across it while I was traveling in Shanghai. I thought it looked decent, so I bought it, but I haven’t really worn it."

"May I take a look?"

Yang Siqi smiled. "My cousin is a big fan of watches, too. He’s bought so many different brands. I think this one is quite nice."

"You like it?"

Xu Yun said with a smile, "If you really like it, I could sell it to you for a good price. I never wear it anyway, so it’s practically brand new."

"Okay, let me ask my cousin then."

Yang Siqi picked it up, took a photo with her phone, and sent it to her cousin.

"Hey cousin, what do you think of this watch?"

"???"

Her cousin sent a shocked emoji and quickly asked, "Sis, wait, where did you get this watch?"

"It belongs to a friend of mine. I thought it looked good and was thinking of buying it for you."

"Sis, are you serious?"

"Of course."

"Do you have any idea how much this watch costs?"

Yang Siqi asked, puzzled, "How much?"

"That’s a Patek Philippe Sky Moon, a globally limited edition! It costs over three million. There’s no way I can afford that."

"..." Yang Siqi was speechless.

While waiting at a red light, Xu Yun asked, "So? Does your cousin like it?"

"There’s no need."

She carefully placed the watch back where she found it and politely declined with a smile, "It seems my cousin isn’t a big fan, so let’s just forget it."

At first, she thought Xu Yun’s ’power’ was probably just that of a typical rich heir.

A car worth over three million was very expensive for an ordinary person, but not completely outrageous.

If her family was willing to spend the money, they could afford one too.

But now, finding a watch just lying around in his car that was also worth over three million—that was anything but ordinary.

After all, watches worth a hundred or even several hundred thousand were treated like treasures by her cousin. He cherished them, keeping each one in its own watch box.

How could that compare to Xu Yun, who casually left a limited-edition watch worth over three million in his car, completely unconcerned about it getting damaged?

About ten minutes later, Xu Yun brought Yang Siqi to a Black Pearl Restaurant and ordered two of their signature dishes.

Yang Siqi sat across from Xu Yun, studying him carefully. The more she looked, the more handsome he seemed.

The way she looked at him now was a little different.

"President Yang."

Xu Yun said, "If you keep staring at me like that, you’ll make me blush."

Having re-evaluated Xu Yun’s financial standing, Yang Siqi had grown curious about his background.

"President Xu, do you have any other businesses besides this fitness center?"

"I also have a media company."

Xu Yun, assuming she was about to make another business pitch, said casually, "But I have other people manage it. I’m not involved at all."

"What, trying to distance yourself so quickly? Are you afraid I’m going to hit you up for business again?"

"No," Xu Yun explained. "It’s because I don’t handle the affairs and can’t make the decisions. It would be useless to come to me."

"President Xu, you’re quite the kidder." Of course, Yang Siqi didn’t believe him.

’It’s your own company, and you can’t make the decisions?’

’Not managing things and not being able to manage things are two different concepts.’

"President Yang, you don’t have to keep calling me ’President Xu.’ It sounds so formal."

Xu Yun smiled. "You’re a few years older than me, so I’ll call you Sister Yang. You can just call me by my name, Xu Yun."

"Of course." Yang Siqi was more than happy for Xu Yun to take the initiative in closing the distance between them.

She took out her small gift box again, pushed it in front of Xu Yun, and said, "Xu Yun, since you’ve already called me ’Sister,’ you absolutely have to accept this gift today. Otherwise, I won’t acknowledge you as my sworn little brother."

"Alright, then. I’ll accept Sister Yang’s kind gesture. Thank you."

Although they were calling each other "brother" and "sister," it was all just professional pleasantries. Only a fool would take it seriously.

In the end, it all came down to personal interests.

...

「Meanwhile.」

After handling the tasks her father had given her in Rongcheng as quickly as possible, Xino immediately flew back to report on her mission.

This way, she could see Xu Yun sooner.

’I wonder what he’s doing right now.’

With Xu Yun on her mind, Xino returned home and saw her father meeting with someone in the living room.

Upon seeing his daughter, the man waved a hand at the person in front of him and said, "That’s all for today. Continue according to the plan we discussed."

"Yes, Chairman."

The man’s secretary acknowledged, gave Xino a smile, and then left the house.

"Dad, this is the painting I won for you at the auction." Xino handed a painting tube to the man.

The man asked with a smile, "Just this one thing?"
