While eating, Jiang Cheng sent various information from the system to his parents.
He wanted them to digest the news of their son's sudden wealth in advance, while he wasn't home.
This way, he wouldn't have to explain for half a day when he returned; it was easier over the phone than face-to-face.
Anyway, with his father Jiang Jianmin's personality, he would definitely verify it immediately.
Since it was arranged by the system, Jiang Cheng naturally wasn't worried about any loopholes.
Sure enough, half an hour later, his father's call came in: "You brat, when did you invest in this? Why didn't your mother and I know?"
"I didn't expect it myself. At the time, I just coincidentally invested my New Year's money," Jiang Cheng replied vaguely.
After he said this, his father didn't doubt him. If he hadn't been Zhao Jia's lapdog, his savings would definitely be a hundred thousand by now, considering he'd had money since he was little.
"Hmm, how much can you get in monthly dividends from this company?"
"I don't know, probably several hundred thousand," Jiang Cheng said conservatively.
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Li Yan's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "Several hundred thousand? Old Jiang, you didn't rely on any family connections and built your career from scratch for over a decade, and now our son can earn several hundred thousand a month right after starting university."
Jiang Jiancheng on the other end of the phone immediately coughed when he heard the words "family connections" and gave Li Yan a look that said, "Don't talk nonsense."
He stubbornly said, "This brat just got lucky."
Li Yan on the other end of the phone received the look and immediately covered her mouth.
After chatting for a few sentences and hanging up, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that his parents' words just now seemed a bit strange, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Afterward, Jiang Cheng chatted with his mother on WeChat.
Since he had come clean, Jiang Cheng also asked his parents: "Oh, by the way, do you have any gifts you want? I'll bring them back when I return."
Knowing that her son could make money, Li Yan naturally didn't stand on ceremony.
"Your dad likes watches. How about buying him a Patek Philippe? An entry-level one is fine, around 100,000 to 200,000. Nothing too flashy."
Jiang Cheng knew his parents had Patek Philippe watches, but he hadn't looked closely at what kind they were. His father occasionally wore one when going to business meetings.
However, Patek Philippe, as the world's number one "King of Watches," is indeed troublesome to buy.
Without an appointment, you can almost only look at them; you can't buy watches off the shelf.
Unless you're extremely lucky, but most likely, you can only buy those entry-level watches.
However, he had already bid for a ladies' enamel watch for Li Yan at the auction yesterday. He hadn't bought one for his father yet. He couldn't give him a Richard Mille; it didn't suit his father's business temperament.
"Alright, I'll go take a look later."
As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the system chimed with a "Ding" notification.
"Patek Philippe appointment has been made for the host. Please proceed directly."
Holy cow, as expected of the system!
Seeing this notification, Jiang Cheng was instantly surprised. He hadn't expected the system to have such a service.
Although the dishes at the Yue Hotel, chosen by Su Wan, were very good, he didn't get any gourmet card rewards this time.
Perhaps it was because the taste wasn't amazing enough?
Moreover, the bill was only a little over five thousand yuan, and there was only Su Wan. So Jiang Cheng didn't use the gourmet cashback card.
He had been in Modu for three days and hadn't officially gone out to explore. He had only brought one set of clothes when he came.
Now that his wallet was full, he naturally wanted to splurge.
And see if he could upgrade the system.
"It's still early. Want to go shopping with me?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng say this, Su Wan naturally didn't refuse. After all, Jiang Cheng was her sugar daddy now.
"Okay, Sugar Daddy, where do you want to go shopping?" Su Wan's tone was light and cheerful, showing she was in a very good mood.
"Let's go shopping. I didn't bring much when I came."
Twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the Patek Philippe House in a dedicated car.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng's destination was here, Su Wan couldn't help but look confused. Was this what rich people called shopping? She thought Jiang Cheng would go to Plaza 66 or the newly expanded IFC.
After all, those were the concentrated centers for various luxury brands.
She hadn't expected the first stop for shopping to be Patek Philippe. One should know that entry-level Patek Philippe watches start at at least 200,000.
And the slogan they displayed at their entrance indeed seemed very prestigious: "You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation."
Following Jiang Cheng, they stepped into the Patek Philippe Maison.
Soon, a salesperson immediately greeted them: "Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?"
Jiang Cheng nodded: "Yes."
After checking Jiang Cheng's appointment information, the female salesperson enthusiastically said: "Mr. Jiang, my name is Xiao Chen. Please follow me upstairs. This way, please."
Following Xiao Chen to the second floor, they found other guests upstairs: a man and a woman, plus another salesperson.
The woman looking at watches was trying on a full-diamond watch, excitedly showing it to a middle-aged man.
After looking at it, the man praised, "Hmm, I think this watch suits you very well."
"Mr. Wang's taste is excellent."
Seeing other people come upstairs, both of them turned to look.
Their eyes met, and Su Wan immediately recognized the woman.
"Senior Lin Ru, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here."
Lin Ru, seeing Su Wan greet her, nodded proudly: "You're here to look at watches too?"
Just then, Jiang Jianmin sent Jiang Cheng a WeChat message: "Forgot to mention, Manager Chen at Patek Philippe is an acquaintance. Tell him my name, and he'll take good care of you. Don't buy anything expensive unnecessarily."
Jiang Cheng stared at the message, stunned. His father's connections were truly hidden deep.
