Chapter 239: Chapter 119: Huge New Discovery_2
Hearing this, the fatty grew increasingly restless, his expression tinged with regret.
"If only I had bundled the gift with the purchase before checking out... sigh, I was too greedy."
Manager Sun fell silent too, sensing that he had lost the trust of this customer.
Originally, neither he nor the fatty cared about Su Huai’s trust, so they decided together not to give the full 4 million quota and instead go for an inflated sale.
The logic was simple—spending habits that focus on appearance rather than value retention are typically found in clueless nouveau riche; slice once and count your winnings, easy to coax, easy to please, and easy to maintain.
However, upon further interaction and understanding today, they realized that was not the case at all.
Su Huai was as meticulous as an elite lawyer, with a discerning eye and a powerful presence.
There was only one possibility then—the person and his higher-ups truly didn’t care about the minor difference of a few hundred thousand or the loss of over a million in value retention; spending was purely about the mood.
Losing the trust of such a person could mean colossal long-term losses.
Unfortunately, it was indeed too late to have this realization now.
They could not even begin to imagine the kind of purchasing power Su Huai had for luxury goods.
But no matter, high-end luxury is a small circle; they would eventually see this for themselves, and the regret had only just begun.
...
Taking a taxi back to school, Su Huai logged onto the platform at Pei Shuyu’s apartment complex entrance, called for an express delivery, and sent the meticulously wrapped watch box to her rental place.
From the runner’s appearance to Pei Shuyu signing for the package, only six minutes had elapsed.
At the seventh minute, Pei Shuyu made a voice call, starting with a scream.
"Daddy! A couples’ watch?!"
Su Huai teased her, laughing, "So chaotic! Why couldn’t they be father-daughter models, why make it so discordant?"
"Humph! What kind of proper daddy would want to look at someone’s chest?!"
She was excited, thus more unrestrained than usual, tossing out little racy jokes effortlessly.
But Su Huai didn’t admit it: "Cut it out. I was just curious and wanted a conclusion. Who knew you’d send such a provocative photo out of the blue? Clearly, it’s the little beaker seducing Daddy..."
"Ahhh! You’re infuriating!"
Pei Shuyu was embarrassed, and not just embarrassed, but also frenzied.
"You clearly meant it that way, and now it’s my fault? Stinking man, dare to do but not to own up!"
"The thing is, I didn’t do anything!"
"Fine fine fine, it’s all my fault, I’m the flirty one, it won’t happen again!"
In her indignant state, Pei Shuyu resorted to a threat she shouldn’t have aired: "Rascal Daddy, no more next times!"
That completely exposed her vulnerability, which Gou Huai seized upon in an instant.
"Oh!"
Gou Huai’s laugh was deep as he drew out his words, "So you’ve already prepared for a next time... Alright then, every mistake is Daddy’s fault, is that okay?"
"I haven’t! It isn’t! You’re annoying~~~"
Never having dated before at nearly 20 years old, Pei Shuyu was utterly thrown for a loop, only able to struggle along with her emotions, with no real rational resistance, feeling flustered and chaotic, aside from feeling embarrassed and pleased.
The sensation was strange, but not unpleasant; in fact... she experienced a covert thrill.
Then, at the critical moment, Gou Huai turned serious.
"Do you like the gift?"
"I love it~~~" Her voice was sticky, brimming with anticipation.
"Well, that’s good. Wear it during your live streams. If someone asks, you can tell them it’s from me, but try to downplay our connection, you get what I mean?"
"I don’t get it~~~ Daddy, teach me!"
She might genuinely not understand, but it’s more likely she couldn’t be bothered to think and just wanted to act coy.
Su Huai was of course happy to indulge her, how else to hit 100 points?
"Tell them the price, tell them it’s a gift from me. It can effectively raise your value and reduce the chances of being entangled. Downplaying our relationship, and keeping it online, ensures your purity and independence, allowing most players to retain a fantasy. The weaker party in love is always good at fantasizing. As long as there’s the slightest chance, they’ll find it hard to let go, otherwise, why would it be called cutting the love strings with a smart blade?"
Su Huai paused, his tone meaningful, "Is that what a smart blade is for?"
"Wow... is that how a smart blade is supposed to be understood?" Pei Shuyu let out a gasp of amazement, feeling like she had learned something incredibly cool.
She suddenly asked eagerly, "Daddy, you’ve probably never been the weaker party in a relationship, right? How come you know so much about it?"
Shit, why bring up the most uncomfortable questions!
Su Huai was a bit pained but had to bluff.
"Human nature is all the same. Why must one experience it personally? As for me, having rejected so many, I naturally understand..."
Bravado boomed impressively, and it’s a marvel that Pei Shuyu actually believed him.
"Mhm mhm mhm, Daddy must be super handsome, super manly, super charming in real life, constantly on the minds of many little demons!"
Su Huai didn’t know how to continue with that line of conversation—he did have some concerns for his pride.
"About there... stop prying into my real-life affairs, and focus on finding a lawyer to review the new contract."
"Got it... can Daddy come keep me company earlier today?"
She brought out her full charm and whining, "Baby wants Daddy to be the first to see me wearing that couples’ watch~~~"
Su Huai thought about it; he could indeed meet her request today, the timing was perfect.
So he sighed in mock distress but with doting affection.
"Ah, I can’t handle you... alright, I’ll rearrange my original plans and try to be there sooner."
"Yay! Love you, love you, Daddy’s the best! Muah!"
After the bikini and the couples’ watch incidents, she had become more open than before, and her inclination towards flirtation had also increased.
