Chapter 390: Chapter 181: Get a House?
Before going to sleep that night, the guys were tossing and turning in their beds, occasionally gasping for air, neither sleeping nor talking.
Su Huai knew it was because he had shocked them too much that day.
The entry-level PP Starry Sky was over 500,000, almost the lifetime cap for Sao Ji, who had average intelligence and emotional quotient and didn’t try hard enough, with probably only a 1/10,000 chance of touching assets worth ten million.
The mid-level Starry Sky cost 1.2 million, a level Xia Yu never could have reached before, but now, by associating with Pei Shuyu, and being a member of the initial team, he had a 1/100 chance of achieving financial freedom and affordability of that watch around the age of 40.
The premium Starry Sky ranged between 2.4 to 3 million, which even with Chu Changkuo’s family background, was difficult to attain.
He wanted it, but his family might not give it to him, and it was even more probable that they wouldn’t.
And the watch in Su Huai’s hand was worth at least 5 million, and definitely not something you could just buy with money.
Such naked disparity could cause how much of a shock?
Even the most carefree guys would probably find it hard to calmly accept.
Su Huai had always hidden that Royal Oak Concept because he feared such a situation, but he couldn’t hide it forever. Sharing a space every day, exposure was inevitable.
So, he used a very exaggerated way to downplay the value and emphasize personal charm, hoping that Xia Yu and Sao Ji would quickly see past it.
As for Kuokuo... he can die wherever he loves!
After many sighs, Xia Yu suddenly spoke up, "Bro, aren’t you planning to rent an apartment?"
Su Huai was taken aback, "Hmm? Why do you suddenly ask that?"
"The stuff in your closet is too valuable!"
As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, Sao Ji also sat up and looked towards Su Huai in the darkness.
"Yeah Huai, you better hurry up and buy a house or rent a place. Now when I think about those watches worth several millions in your closet, my heart pounds! If something happens..."
Xia Yu chimed in, "Yeah, really, I don’t even dare to stay in the dormitory!"
Hearing their thoughts, Su Huai also realized his oversight.
He had not taken those two watches seriously because, in fact, they were just perks of feeding the dog; he had spent several billion RMB on himself, even daily expenses for Pei Shuyu exceeded the value of a watch, hence, he felt almost nothing towards a few million.
But the boys in the dorm couldn’t accept it, and this included Chu Changkuo.
"Indeed, Huai, you should keep the watches outside. It’s not the same as big-name clothes, cigarettes, and good liquor.
Huazi leaves a box out, and it’s no big deal if someone takes a pack or even a whole carton; it’s just considered a benefit for the poor bros.
But if someone gets impulsive, can’t control their hands, and swipes your watch, you won’t be able to explain if you can’t find it, and if you do, that bro is going to be locked up for 20 years..."
"What?" Sao Ji got a shock, "Stealing can get you that many years?"
Chu Changkuo scoffed, "5 million, an especially large amount, it’s a hundred percent over ten years, theoretically up to life imprisonment. Do you think it’s just a matter of apologizing?"
Xia Yu and Sao Ji were scared witless, incessantly advising Su Huai, "Bro, take them away quickly!"
"Alright."
Su Huai also felt it was time to set up a home outside, and readily agreed, "I’ll start thinking about a house tomorrow. You’re right, keeping too valuable things in the dorm isn’t good for anyone."
Once they talked it out, the guys all breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.
Compared to the carefree Xia Yu and Sao Ji, Chu Changkuo was particularly conflicted.
"Huai, Mr. Gu gives away watches worth several hundreds of millions, hasn’t he mentioned any other arrangements?"
"He has, but thinking about those now is premature."
Su Huai dodged the question with a vague response, "You call him Mr. Gu, do you perhaps know what he does?"
Goat Chicken Brother perked up their ears.
"I don’t know."
Chu Changkuo’s voice echoed in the dark, inexplicably melancholic.
"There are too many invisible rich people in our country, aside from the internet and real estate moguls who have to be famous, the rest are hard to guess. Some are well-known with just a facade, while some unknown investors are actually the big fish under the water..."
Wow, quite heartfelt, right?
Su Huai knew he was right, but such sentiments shouldn’t be felt by an 18-year-old carefree second-generation rich kid.
So he keenly probed, "How’s your family business doing? Is it tough?"
"Not tough."
Chu Changkuo instantly denied, laughed, "Up to this point, it’s been quite smooth! Of course, collecting payments is a bit more demanding, that’s inevitable, just part of the industry!"
Based on his emotional perception, Su Huai immediately concluded: the outlook wasn’t particularly optimistic; difficulties had already arisen.
Otherwise, Mr. Chu wouldn’t have let the pressure show, affecting his son.
It seemed like, soon, Kuokuo would have to lay low, just like in the past life.
Su Huai began to recall what Baizhifang had become later on but just couldn’t remember. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
After he graduated, he never returned to West City, mostly hanging around the suburbs, so naturally, he wouldn’t know. He only vaguely remembered that place didn’t seem to have developed any high-end residential areas?
If that was the case, then it wasn’t interesting...
Su Huai’s thoughts were becoming ever loftier, concerned with bigger and grander things; it was a positive change, but it was also the start of a departure from everyday life.
Following that, the three bros talked about Gu Tongshu for a while, mainly curious about Su Huai’s "identity," but he deflected all their queries with righteous indignation.
