Chapter 233: Chapter 233: 211, retro-style tycoon, splurge in a spree! (Requesting monthly pass)

When his subordinate was celebrating her birthday, Yang Hao felt it was appropriate to show some recognition as the boss, especially since Cai Meichen’s official position might be that of the director of the president’s office, but the work she did was equivalent to the president’s.

Describing it as “earning a vegetable seller’s wage but putting in the effort of a drug dealer” wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

So, Yang Hao thought of rewarding his subordinate.

After Li Manni picked up Xixi, Yang Hao and the nanny, Jiang Yuqi, left the house together. He didn’t drive, letting the nanny take the wheel.

“Do you know what Director Cai likes?”

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yang Hao began to ask.

However, from his perspective in the passenger seat, he was slightly stunned – this must have been the first time he was talking to the nanny from this seat.

The moment Jiang Yuqi had buckled up her seatbelt, looking over from the side, the view was quite explosive.

(No image of driving, just imagine it briefly)

“Miss has plenty of likes.”

“Yang, are you choosing a gift?” Jiang Yuqi didn’t pay much attention to Yang Hao’s gaze. She asked while starting the car.

“Yeah, tell me what she likes.”

Yang Hao’s gaze lingered on that distracting spot for a moment before he diverted his eyes.

He knew that the nanny shouldn’t be called “nanny” at home but rather “head nanny,” and when at home, she usually dressed conservatively to prevent Yang Hao from looking, favoring loose-fitting clothes that covered more.

But now, the nanny’s outfit was a bit more form-fitting, and with the seatbelt added to the mix, she couldn’t hide anything.

So all of a sudden, Yang Hao felt like he had been mining for gold outside when there was a goldmine hidden at home.

“Basically, all those things that girls like; Miss probably likes them too – things like jewelry, watches, luxury goods, and the like.”

“However, Miss took out a mortgage to buy an apartment last year, and it won’t be delivered until this October. Then there’s the renovation and such, all of which are significant expenses, so she’s been quite frugal with her spending lately…”

Jiang Yuqi candidly explained Cai Meichen’s current financial situation.

“Then let’s go to Henglong for a look.”

“Mmm~”

Jiang Yuqi nodded, then added, “Yang, how much is the budget for Miss’s gift? I can help you choose.”

“After all, I know her better.”

“Budget?”

“Do you think I need a budget?”

Yang Hao asked with a chuckle.

“Er, okay then!”

Jiang Yuqi pursed her lips, inwardly scoffing: these damn rich people! Choosing gifts without even looking at the price.

“Yang, have Peng and Shasha left already?”

Jiang Yuqi suddenly remembered Yang Peng and Tian Shasha, who had stayed overnight at the house, and casually asked.

“They should leave in the afternoon. They’re probably still meeting with relatives right now.”

When Yang Hao left the wedding, Yang Peng and Tian Shasha were drinking with relatives. Despite an undercurrent of competition among them, they all appeared amiable, especially with the elders present, and seemed quite close to one another.

What Yang Hao didn’t know was that his cousin Yang Peng and cousin-in-law Tian Shasha were so popular partly because of him.

“By the way, you have a problem with the way you address Dapeng.”

“Uh, what problem?”

The nanny looked puzzled.

“If you let Xixi call you ‘Qiqi mom,’ then you can’t call Dapeng ‘brother’ anymore.”

Yang Hao said with a gleam in his eyes.

Screech~!

Hearing this, the nanny abruptly hit the brakes, her cute face flushing red.

“Yang, it wasn’t me who asked Xixi to call me that, she wanted to…”

The nanny said with a look of injustice, internally grumbling about Xixi being a little traitor. They had agreed to keep it a secret, yet Yang Hao found out in just two days.

“It doesn’t matter who started it.”

“What matters is that it’s now a fact, isn’t it?” Yang Hao shrugged lightly.

“Er, this…”

The nanny was at a loss for words.

“So, since you have the status of ‘Qiqi mom,’ you should also fulfill some motherly duties, right?”

“Ah? Which duties?”@@novelbin@@

At that moment, the nanny’s mind was a complete blank.

“You figure it out.”

“When you’ve got it figured out, come find me.”

Yang Hao replied with a smile, then casually looked out the window, giving the nanny space to think.

Jiang Yuqi’s mind worked quickly, and she soon grasped the meaning behind her flirtatious boss’s words.

The blush that had not yet faded from her pretty face deepened again.

Actually, in recent times, the nanny was almost constantly wrestling with herself mentally.

Can’t be helped, for a girl from a poor family with a sound mind, this kind of life presented a fatal temptation to Jiang Yuqi.

Those gold diggers who fantasized about catching a rich husband could only imagine the life of the wealthy, but Jiang Yuqi was living it for real.

Living in a 688 square meter mansion, stepping out in a million-dollar luxury car, wearing Hermès workwear…

In the kindergarten, she was like a glitch, working when she wanted, resting when she preferred, and even the principal spoke to her with utmost politeness.

Because that principal knew that if she truly offended Xixi’s “little mom,” her job would likely be over.

And all this was bestowed upon her by her employer, Yang Hao.

Therefore, Jiang Yuqi would occasionally feel insecure, worrying that once Xixi grew up and no longer needed her.

Then, what path should she take?

Having gotten used to this kind of life, could she still adapt to the life of an ordinary person?

To continue living this way, there was only one path for her, to truly become Xixi’s stepmother!

Indeed, after spending so much time together, Jiang Yuqi had naturally developed a favorable impression of Yang Hao, her employer. Aside from his philandering ways, his values were upright, his character was sound, and he harbored no twisted thoughts.

She often read online posts claiming that many wealthy people were morally twisted, their deeds as disgusting as they come.

Yang Hao, however, did not have any of these issues; besides, he was quite handsome—just the type that young girls adored in an uncle.

For a girl like Jiang Yuqi, who had lacked fatherly love since a young age, he was, in fact, even more attractive.

Especially since Yang Hao had just arranged a job and a place to live for Jiang Xiaohai a couple of days ago, this made Jiang Yuqi feel even more grateful toward her employer.

All the way, Jiang Yuqi’s thoughts were adrift.

It wasn’t until the car entered Henglong’s underground parking lot that she recollected her thoughts.

“Yang, my auntie really likes Patek Philippe. When we went shopping before, she looked at them several times, but they were too expensive, so she could only just look.”

After getting out of the car, Jiang Yuqi brought up the topic of picking a gift again.

“Hmm, let’s go have a look then.”

Yang Hao nodded. In truth, he wasn’t quite adept at choosing gifts for women, so it was a relief to have the nanny by his side as an advisor.

The two promptly visited the Patek Philippe boutique on the first floor.

Although the mall was quite crowded on the weekend, there weren’t many customers at the high-end watch brand boutique of Patek Philippe.

Seeing Yang Hao and Jiang Yuqi enter the store, a sweet-looking female sales associate immediately greeted them with a smile, “Welcome to Patek Philippe, may I know what type of watch you’d like to look at? Let me introduce a few to you!”

“Qiqi, go ahead and choose.”

Yang Hao gestured to the nanny standing beside him with a nudge of his mouth. After all, she knew Cai Meichen’s preferences.

“Let’s look at the Gondolo series.”

Jiang Yuqi had accompanied Cai Meichen to browse Patek Philippe once, and the latter had taken a liking to a Gondolo Serata model, which was priced at 359,300 yuan.

Later, her aunt had mentioned a few times that she would definitely buy it when she made her fortune.

“Yang, the watch my aunt liked is quite expensive.”

“It’s more than thirty thousand. Actually, she also really likes a few LV bags, which are only about twenty or thirty thousand…”

Walking ahead, the female sales associate overheard and Jiang Yuqi whispered a reminder in Yang Hao’s ear.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao smiled and gently patted the nanny’s shoulder, “Are you trying to save me money?”

“Er…”

Jiang Yuqi was initially stunned, then pursed her lips, “Never mind what I said!”

Ding!

Trigger retro task: [Extravagant Inhumanity]

As a wealthy individual, you must always maintain a sense of consumption. It has been detected that the host’s recent spending is too low.

Please display your spending power and consume decadently.

Task reward: Double cashback on purchases before 6 p.m.!

The System’s voice suddenly erupted.

Yang Hao quickly checked the time; it was already three in the afternoon.

That meant the System had only given him three hours.

But isn’t spending money easy?

Three hours is more than enough!

After all, the liquid funds lying in Yang Hao’s account amounted to only about 150 million yuan.

“Miss, which model are you interested in?”

The sales associate had already led Yang Hao and Jiang Yuqi to the counter. Since she had heard Yang give Jiang Yuqi carte blanche to decide, she was mainly soliciting Jiang Yuqi’s opinion now.

“Well, this one…”

Jiang Yuqi pointed to the model her aunt had fancied, which had 94 spessartine garnets set into the dial, a brown satin-finished calfskin strap, and a quartz movement.

Truth be told, Jiang Yuqi herself wasn’t too fond of this style and color. As a young girl, she preferred the pearl watches from the Gondolo series, particularly the rose gold model, which was stunningly beautiful.

But it was prohibitively expensive, costing 2 million yuan a piece!

She couldn’t afford it even if she sold herself!

Nevertheless, the nanny’s eyes couldn’t help wandering to the “Dream Love Watch.”

It was truly dazzling, with 78 Akoya pearls set in the band, a rose gold decorative chain with 48 princess-cut diamonds embedded, and a folding clasp with 55 diamonds.

The impression this watch gave was encapsulated in eight characters: glamorous and imposing, the epitome of luxury!

“Miss, this watch actually suits your temperament even better.”

The experienced sales associate, following Jiang Yuqi’s glance, spotted the lavish watch priced at 2,011,100 yuan!

Although there were several commemorative or special Patek Philippe models on the secondary market that had been speculated to be worth over ten million, within the shop, this particular Gondolo jewelry timepiece was one of the most expensive available.

Unless one was a super-wealthy individual, it was simply unaffordable.

After all, two million yuan got you just one watch.

The sales associate knew it would be difficult to make a sale, but casually mentioning it wasn’t too much of a hassle. She immediately took out that watch as well, and while explaining its features, she said, “Miss, this watch truly complements your temperament.”

“Um, let’s look at that one.”

Faced with the associate’s excessive enthusiasm, Jiang Yuqi felt a bit embarrassed, silently criticizing in her mind: Sister Sales Associate, how do you figure I could afford a 2 million yuan wristwatch?

Do I have the face of a wealthy woman or what??

The female sales associate idling at the neighboring counter also silently curled her lip, thinking her colleague was being superfluous.

Moreover, a watch priced over two hundred thousand yuan was only available for Patek Philippe VIP members to try on, not something just any customer could take out for a trial. What if it was damaged in the process? Who would be responsible??
