Chapter 1849: Love Settled with Sophia, Profiting 50 Million! (Major - )

“Don’t worry, your parents are already asleep, and you’re the young lady here. Who among those servants would dare to sneak a peek at you? Plus, trust me, it’s going to feel quite thrilling at the time.”

“I’ll… we’ll see. You go wash up, I’m heading back!”

Zhang Jingdong gave Sophia’s rear a playful slap: “Alright, go on, come over early!”

“…Okay.”

Sophia said, turning to leave the room.

Zhang Jingdong glanced at the closed door, then headed to the bathroom.

This bathroom was nearly twenty square meters and had a large bathtub inside.

He hadn’t taken a bath in a while, so after brushing his teeth, he comfortably soaked in the tub.

Once everything was settled, he left the bathroom.

He habitually picked up his cellphone and glanced at it, only to find several text messages from He Jieyu.

His heart skipped a beat, sensing she might have known he was already in Europe and was texting him to confront him.

He promptly checked the messages and found it was indeed the case.

He contemplated seriously for a while, then replied: Well, I am indeed in Europe now, handling some business matters. I’ll come find you in a couple of days.

Before long, He Jieyu replied: No need.

Zhang Jingdong: Huh? What do you mean?

He Jieyu: I’ve already taken leave. I’m going to Italy tomorrow afternoon.

Zhang Jingdong: Are you serious?

He Jieyu: When have I ever lied to you? At that time, just bring your newly acquired European beauty to pick me up.

Zhang Jingdong: Listen to you, what European beauty?

He Jieyu: Are you telling me you won’t try European beauties while in Europe? I don’t believe it!

Zhang Jingdong: First tell me how you know I’ve already arrived in Italy?

He Jieyu: It’s Mr. Yan who told me, saying explicitly I could inform you. She even instructed me to keep a good eye on you.

Zhang Jingdong: So, what are your plans?

He Jieyu: You can have your fun, but you must bring me along. I’m about to suffocate!

Zhang Jingdong: Alright then, considering your honesty, you come over tomorrow and I’ll pick you up. But at that time, your initial role will be my assistant. Is there any issue?

He Jieyu: Looks like you’ve really snagged a European beauty! You’ve only been here two days. Well, that’s my man!

Zhang Jingdong: If I’ve snagged one, isn’t it equivalent to you snagging one? I’ll let you experience the exotic flair too.

He Jieyu: Haha, okay, thanks boss!

Zhang Jingdong: Have you gotten your Olympic tickets?

He Jieyu: Got them.

Zhang Jingdong: How many did you buy?

He Jieyu: Just in case, I bought for four people. You’ll have to reimburse me.

Zhang Jingdong: For your trouble, I’ll reimburse you tenfold.

He Jieyu: Truly the generous Boss Zhang, love you, mwah!

Zhang Jingdong: Mwah.

He Jieyu: My texts aren’t interrupting your foreign beauty language lessons, are they?

Zhang Jingdong: Can’t help it even if they do, you’ve got seniority.

He Jieyu: My bad, my bad, boss, I’m sorry!

Zhang Jingdong: If apologies worked, we’d need no police.

He Jieyu: Got it, tomorrow night you say jump, I’ll jump. Is that good enough?

Zhang Jingdong: I want to follow an unconventional path.

He Jieyu: Alright, I’ve been wanting to try that myself.

Zhang Jingdong: Seems your study abroad has some benefits, at least you’re more open-minded in that aspect.

He Jieyu: Oh please, haven’t you tried with others before?

Zhang Jingdong: You even knew about that?

He Jieyu: What do you think? But don’t worry, I’ve learned some new tricks too.

Zhang Jingdong: What new tricks?

He Jieyu: You’ll find out tomorrow night.

Zhang Jingdong: Alright, looking forward!

The two chatted for another ten minutes before ending the conversation.

Zhang Jingdong thought for a while and then sent a text to Yan Ning: What are you up to?

Soon, Yan Ning replied: Watching a movie with Mr. Qin.

Zhang Jingdong: What movie?

Yan Ning: In the Mood for Love.

Zhang Jingdong: That’s a movie about affairs, is there something you’re hinting at?

Yan Ning: You dare to complain first? We’re identifying with Su Lizhen, alright? Now spill, how many little temptresses are by your side right now?

Zhang Jingdong: I swear on my honor, I’m focused on business right now, there’s not a single woman in my room.

Yan Ning: Who would believe that? Unless you snap a picture of your bed right now, immediately, within five seconds.

Zhang Jingdong smiled slyly, snapped several photos of the bed, and sent them over to Yan Ning.

He then confidently added: Can you believe me now?

Yan Ning: You went to Europe and didn’t hook up, what business are you focused on then?

Zhang Jingdong: I’m planning to buy a wine estate.

Yan Ning: You want to buy a wine estate? How much will that cost?

Zhang Jingdong: Total price, my budget is 500 million to 1 billion US Dollars, usually paid off within five years, meaning 100 to 200 million USD annually.

Yan Ning: Why suddenly the idea to buy a wine estate?

Zhang Jingdong: Didn’t Mr. Ye discuss wine brands with you before? Actually, I was the one who first brought it up. Then, I thought instead of just making wine brands, why not directly acquire a wine estate with rich heritage? That way, we can leverage its reputation to develop several wine brands.
