Chapter 27 - Confessing to My Parents

Jiang Cheng sent various documents from the system to his parents while eating.

He wanted them to digest the fact that their son had suddenly become wealthy before he got home.

This would save him from having to explain for a long time later; talking over the phone was easier than face-to-face.

Given his father Jiang Jianmin's personality, he would definitely verify it immediately.

Since it was arranged by the system, Jiang Cheng naturally didn't worry about any loopholes.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Jiang Jianmin's call came through.

"You kid, you have a good eye for investment. For Hengcheng Investment to grow into such a large company in such a short time, you must have made a fortune." Jiang Jianmin's voice carried a hint of pride.

"I didn't expect it myself either," Jiang Cheng replied casually.

"Hmm, how much is the monthly share?"

"Currently, it's about six hundred thousand or so," Jiang Cheng said conservatively.

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Li Yan's surprised voice came from the other end: "Six hundred thousand? Doesn't that mean an annual income of over seven million? Old Jiang, your son is about to surpass you."

Hearing Li Yan's teasing, Jiang Jiancheng snorted coldly, "This brat is just lucky."

"Stop being so stubborn. Who was the one showing off and bragging to friends just now about how successful his son is?"

Seeing his thoughts exposed by Li Yan, Jiang Jianmin hurriedly gave Jiang Cheng a few instructions and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Jiang Cheng started chatting with his mother on WeChat.

Li Yan rattled on like a bursting dam, telling Jiang Cheng about Jiang Jianmin's reaction just now.

After reading, Jiang Cheng replied happily, "By the way, do you guys want any gifts? I'll bring some back for you."

Knowing her son could make money now, Li Yan didn't stand on ceremony.

"There is a Patek Philippe in Shanghai, but you might need an appointment to buy one. See if you can get it. Buy me one that isn't too flashy. If you can't, then forget it; just get whatever else you think is best."

Jiang Cheng knew Li Yan had a few Patek Philippe watches, but he hadn't looked closely at what they were; she would occasionally wear them during company team-building events.

However, as the world's number one 'King of Watches,' Patek Philippe...

Buying one was indeed a hassle. Without an appointment, you could almost only look; you couldn't buy a watch in stock.

Unless your luck was very good, but even then, you'd likely only be able to buy entry-level watches.

However, he had already won a women's enamel watch for Li Yan at the auction yesterday. Even if he couldn't buy one now, he didn't have to worry. It was just that the enamel watch felt a bit lacking after all; while enamel was good for collecting, the retail price was indeed too low.

"Okay, I'll head over and take a look in a bit."

As soon as Jiang Cheng said that, the system gave a 'ding' notification.

"The Patek Philippe appointment has been arranged for the Host. Please proceed directly."

Holy crap, as expected of the system!

Seeing this prompt, Jiang Cheng was quite surprised; he hadn't expected the system to provide this kind of service.

Although the dishes at the Baiyue Hotel Su Wan chose were very good, he didn't get any rewards from the gourmet card this time.

Maybe it was because the taste wasn't amazing enough?

Also, the bill was only five thousand yuan, and it was just Su Wan with him.

So Jiang Cheng didn't use the gourmet cashback card.

He'd been in Shanghai for three days and hadn't officially gone out to explore yet; he'd only brought one change of clothes when he came.

Now that his wallet was bulging, he naturally had to go on a shopping spree.

And see if he could upgrade the system along the way.

"It's still early, want to accompany me for a walk?"

Seeing Jiang Cheng say this, Su Wan naturally didn't refuse. After all, Jiang Cheng was her sugar daddy now.

"Sure, sugar daddy, where do you want to go?" Su Wan's tone was light; it was clear she was in a good mood.

"Let's go shopping. I didn't bring much with me."

Twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Maison Patek Philippe in a private car.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng had come here, Su Wan's eyes couldn't help but fill with confusion. Was this what rich people meant by shopping? She thought Jiang Cheng would go to Plaza 66 or the newly expanded IFC Mall.

After all, those were the hubs for various major luxury brands.

She didn't expect the first stop of the shopping trip to be Patek Philippe. One must know that an entry-level Patek Philippe watch starts at least at two hundred thousand yuan.

And the advertising slogan placed at their door indeed looked very high-class: 'You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation!'

Following Jiang Cheng, they stepped into the Maison Patek Philippe.

Soon, a salesperson came up to greet them: "Hello, sir. Do you have an appointment?"

Jiang Cheng nodded. "Yes."

After checking Jiang Cheng's appointment information, the female salesperson said enthusiastically, "Mr. Jiang, my name is Xiao Chen. Please follow me upstairs. This way, please."

Upon reaching the second floor with Xiao Chen, they found other guests already there: a man and a woman, plus another salesperson.

The girl looking at watches was excitedly showing a diamond-encrusted watch she was trying on to a Middle-aged Man.

After looking at it, the man said appreciatively, "Yes, I think this watch suits you quite well."

"President Wang has such good taste."

Seeing others coming upstairs, both of them turned their heads to look.

Their eyes met, and Su Wan immediately recognized the woman.

"Senior Lin Ru, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Seeing Su Wan greeting her, Lin Ru nodded haughtily. "Are you here to look at watches too?
