177: Chapter 177 Delivering a car brought an unexpected bonus

"I’ve been busy with a few things lately. First, going undercover at Xinglong Real Estate and uncovering a mountain of problems. Second, helping Zhang Menglu open her business by recruiting Models to hold a Victorias Secret Show, which is why I’ve been in contact with these car Models."

Sun Nana was very socially adept and knew when to stop, never prying into things too deeply. However, she was very interested in the Victorias Secret Show.

"To hold a Victorias Secret Show in Jiangcheng, that’s quite a grand gesture! When is the opening? As one of the shareholders, I should qualify to witness the first store opening, right?"

Chen Hao thought about it seriously before saying, "The exact opening date hasn't been set yet. Wait for my news, but I might be busy these next few days."

"Don't worry, I won't bother you unless it's important. I'm very open-minded. Even if you were keeping a mistress outside, I wouldn't ask about it."

"Really?"

"You actually dare say that! You're asking for a beating!"

Sun Nana slapped Chen Hao. As the two ate and bantered playfully, many of the car Models around them witnessed the scene.

Their private group chat had already exploded.

"What did I tell you? How could someone like Young Master Chen not have a girlfriend? I heard Young Master Chen gifted his girlfriend a Mini worth 400,000."

"That’s wonderful. I wish I were his girlfriend."

"Speaking of which, for a rich young master like Young Master Chen, gifting a Mini seems a bit stingy, doesn't it?"

"Look at how you talk, as if 400,000 is just blowing in the wind."

Amidst the discussion, Chen Hao and Sun Nana finished lunch. A little after 1 PM, Sun Nana successfully drove the car away, overjoyed and extremely happy.

After seeing Sun Nana off, Chen Hao finally called to question Young Master Xiao.

"What did you need me for before?"

"Nothing else. I've paid all the money. The rest is for you to choose the accessories you like and handle the transfer procedures."

"Wait, you paid? This car isn't for me; I'm gifting it to my girlfriend, right?"

"Understood. We're all men; I get it."

After hanging up, Chen Hao took a long moment to process. He then called Zhang Menglu to inform her to come to the auto show to handle the transfer.

Around 2 o'clock, Zhang Menglu arrived at the auto show with Zhuang Hua. Seeing Chen Hao, Zhang Menglu's face flushed with excitement, and her heart kept pounding.

"Come on, let's go see your car."

Chen Hao took Zhang Menglu's hand and walked to the Ferrari section. Upon seeing the Ferrari, Zhang Menglu's face turned bright red with excitement, and she covered her mouth, trying hard to suppress a scream.

Zhuang Hua muttered quietly from the side, "You truly have grand gestures, gifting a Ferrari right off the bat."

Chen Hao smiled and teased, "Are you envious already? Should I gift you one too?"

Zhuang Hua also blushed and mumbled quietly, "Our relationship is improper. Why would you gift me a car?"

"Besides, I have my own car. If I want one, I can buy it myself; I don't need you to gift it to me."

Chen Hao whispered with a grin, "I just like that you are so unmaterialistic and easy to please."

Zhuang Hua became even more flustered, her heartbeat accelerating wildly.

"Stop messing around, it won't be good if she sees."

At the moment, Zhang Menglu's attention was entirely focused on the car. Sitting in the driver's seat, feeling the comfort brought by the supercar, she was incomparably delighted.

The person in charge of the Ferrari section rushed over. Seeing that they were the buyers, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Sir, may I ask if she is the owner?" He needed to know who the owner was before proceeding with the transfer process.

"Zhang Menglu, go handle the transfer with her first."

After getting out of the car, Zhang Menglu rushed straight into Chen Hao's arms and gave him a passionate kiss in public.

"Thank you, Chen Hao, for fulfilling my dream!"

She was so excited she was nearly crying. At this very moment, the unexpected happened.

"Ding"

"Detected that Zhang Menglu's favorability towards you has surpassed the critical threshold."

"A treasure hard to come by, a soulmate hard to find. From this moment on, Zhang Menglu will never leave your side and will follow you through life and death."

"System activating Dao Companion Mode. System upgrading... Current progress 1%"

Damn it, Chen Hao really hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. After reaching one hundred favorability, it could still increase, and since Zhang Menglu would never leave him now, it meant her favorability would never drop again!

Previously, he thought Zhang Menglu was asking for too much, but now he felt everything was worth it.

"I'll go sign the contracts first. Wait for me to come back."

After Zhang Menglu left, Chen Hao was still silently spacing out. Zhuang Hua grumbled irritably, "You really have a way with women."

Chen Hao snapped back to reality and retorted, "You're just jealous."

She quickly changed her tune, "I'm not jealous at all. This is between you two; it's none of my business."

Chen Hao changed the subject, "Enough small talk. Since you're here, let's discuss my ideas for the new store opening."

He led Zhuang Hua to find a random spot to sit down, and Chen Hao gestured with his chin, "Last night at the party, I befriended these car Models and told them that goddess token was planning to hold a Victorias Secret Show for the opening. They all agreed to participate in the runway show."

"Really? All of them?"

Zhuang Hua covered her mouth in surprise, scanned the entire venue, and exclaimed repeatedly, "You are incredible. Did you use the honey trap?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can you be serious?"

Zhuang Hua then said, "Or why else would you dress so handsomely? Isn't it to pick up girls?"

Chen Hao put on a stern face, "If you keep chatting like this, there's no need for us to talk anymore."

"OK, I won't say anything more. I'll listen to you."

Next, Chen Hao began to elaborate on his vision: making this Victorias Secret Show opening extraordinarily grand, grand enough for the entire Jiangcheng to know about it.

"Additionally, arrange the makeup team, costume team, and photography team if possible. It must be completely professional. I want prestige, and I want a grand spectacle."

As Zhuang Hua listened, she subconsciously sighed, "To pick up girls, you are really spending a fortune."

Chen Hao flicked her forehead, "Can you be serious? I have a purpose for doing this. For example, making them the first batch of franchisees."

Zhuang Hua rubbed her forehead and paused.

"So, you mean you want to bring these car Models on board?"

Chen Hao nodded solemnly, "With their participation, our brand can expand rapidly within one or two years."

"Fine, I will cooperate fully. I'll do whatever you say."

She took out her phone to start recording, which was Zhuang Hua's usual style.

Chen Hao explained his plan like this:

"I contacted Zhao Di this morning and asked her to bring the entire costume design team with her when she comes to Jiangcheng."

"Starting tomorrow, I will contact professional photography studios. If we're going to do it, we must do it to the best."

"Tomorrow you'll come with me to coordinate and liaise with all the units, striving to take care of every aspect."

"The auto show lasts three days. Once it's over, you will take the Models, handle their styling, and arrange the runway route in the style of street photography."

Chen Hao drew a route map on the table with his finger while describing the street art Victorias Secret Show he envisioned.

"The purpose of doing this is to let these Models witness our professionalism. Only when they are highly recognized can they be convinced after the opening. goddess token is benchmarked against top international brands."

As Zhuang Hua listened, she felt Chen Hao's planning was magnificent, and his vision was spectacular.

"However, following your plan to hold an unconventional street art Victorias Secret Show will cost quite a bit of money. Never mind anything else, the initial investment alone is considerable."

Chen Hao transferred 2 million to Zhuang Hua without hesitation—which was all the earnings from the previous day.

"Don't worry about the money. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the cub."

When Zhuang Hua saw the bank notification, she finally understood what 'scale' meant and was completely conquered by Chen Hao's attitude toward handling matters.
