A male voice came through the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Xu Mo?"
"No, Xu Mo is taking a shower," Zhou Qiaoqiao replied instinctively. "What do you need him for?"
Hearing a female voice and learning that Xu Mo was in the shower, the man on the other end quickly realized that the person answering must be Mr. Xu's wife!
"Hello, Mrs. Xu. The situation is this: Mr. Xu purchased a yacht from our company. We have prepared the yacht he bought and can deliver it at any time. I'm calling to ask when would be convenient for Mr. Xu to take delivery."
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "???"
An Youyi: "???"
Yang Jingxuan: "???"
Li Jiaxin: "???"
After hearing the voice from the phone, all four women were stunned, including An Youyi, who was the wealthiest among them. Good heavens, it seemed Xu Mo had really bought a yacht!
After a moment of shock, the four women exchanged glances.
"What's going on? Did Xu Mo really buy a yacht!?"
"I thought he was just joking... but... it turns out everything he said was true."
"A yacht can't be cheap, right? Even a basic one must cost over 100 million!"
The man on the other end of the phone was also confused, as he heard several women's voices...
He had initially thought he was speaking to Mrs. Xu, and that there was only one Mrs. Xu, but now it seemed his perspective was too narrow. There might be more than one Mrs. Xu - judging by the voices, at least four, and possibly more!
Is this what the world of the wealthy is like? How... remarkably understated!
Buying a yacht on a whim, without even contacting their company beforehand, paying the full amount upfront, not even bothering with a deposit.
And he has four wives, taking a shower early in the morning - there's bound to be quite a battle ahead, Mr. Xu must be quite busy...
"I'm not sure when he'll be available. Why don't you wait a bit, and I'll have him call you back after he finishes his shower?" Zhou Qiaoqiao said after composing herself.
"Yes, yes, that's fine. If Mr. Xu is busy, he can take care of his business first. There's no rush to call back - whenever he's free will do. I'll keep my phone available."
"Alright, I'll tell him to call you back."
"Great, great, thank you."
"..."
Even after hanging up, the four women were still immersed in their shock.
Just moments ago, they had been thinking Xu Mo must be joking. They had unanimously believed there was no way he could have actually bought a yacht.
Who would have thought... he really did buy one! Without saying a word about it!
If Zhou Qiaoqiao hadn't brought it up today, Xu Mo probably wouldn't have mentioned it at all.
If they hadn't happened to receive that phone call, they probably wouldn't have known that Xu Mo had really bought a yacht!
"No wonder he didn't want to join our group buy... what he bought isn't something you can group buy," Zhou Qiaoqiao said with a wry smile, looking at the other three women.
Their "618" shopping festival purchases were all from online shopping sites, spending at most a few hundred or thousand on some necessities and stocking up on daily items.
But Xu Mo? His "618" purchase was straight-up a yacht!
It was just ridiculous!
...
Two minutes later, Xu Mo came out after finishing his shower and changing clothes.
The four women stared at him intently with strange expressions.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Xu Mo smiled.
The next second, all four spoke in unison.
"Did you really buy a yacht?"
"Yes, I did."
"You... you bought a yacht during the 618 sale!? Do they even discount yachts during 618?"
Well... I only spent one yuan to buy a yacht, so I guess that counts as a discount! Xu Mo thought for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, it was discounted, heavily discounted actually. It was practically given away."
After a pause, he asked: "Weren't you all skeptical just now? Why are you suddenly asking like this?"
The four were dumbfounded by his response. Even with a heavy discount, how cheap could it be? It's not like he could have bought it for one yuan, right? It's a yacht! Those are expensive! Even with a massive discount, it would still cost a fortune!
"Your phone rang several times just now, and we were worried someone might have an urgent matter for you, so we answered. The caller said you bought a yacht from their company, and that they've prepared it and you can take delivery anytime. They asked when you'd be free to come by, so you should call them back."
"They prepared it that quickly?" He had only placed the order last night, and it was ready by morning - that's quite efficient! Xu Mo walked to the sofa, picked up his phone, opened the call history, and called back the number that had called several times earlier.
The other party answered almost instantly: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
"Hello."
"Are you free now? If so, we can discuss the yacht handover details. The yacht you ordered from our company is ready now. When would it be convenient for you to come and sign for it?"
"It's not very convenient recently. I'm out of town, so it might have to wait for a while. I'm not sure about the exact timing... I'll contact you later."
Hearing this, the man on the other end was shocked.
This really was a wealthy client... Not contacting them before buying the yacht and paying in full was one thing, but now he's saying he's not even free to take delivery.
What kind of person is this? Spending so much money and not even being eager to see the yacht they bought?
For most people, forget about expensive items like yachts - even when buying small items online, they can't wait to get their packages and open them.
I guess the world of the wealthy is truly beyond my understanding... After a few seconds of stunned silence, the man responded with a smile: "That's fine, whenever you're free. You can contact me anytime, my phone will always be available."
...
After breakfast, Xu Mo spent time playing games and cards with the others at the hotel.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Xu Mo left the hotel and walked to the hospital to visit Chen Ke.
"How are you feeling today?"
"How could I be feeling? *sigh*," Chen Ke sighed. "My arm hurts whenever I move it. It probably won't heal for at least a month."
Xu Mo smiled.
"Take it easy, a month is just a month. Think of it as a vacation."
"True, I haven't had this much free time in ages. Might as well treat it as a vacation." However, shortly after saying this, Chen Ke added: "It's just that something feels missing. Ever since I joined the police force, I've been busy every day and got used to it. Now that I'm suddenly idle... it's really quite boring. I don't know what to do with myself. *sigh* I actually miss the busy days of working cases. At least then I wasn't bored."
Just as he finished speaking, Xu Mo's phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, he saw it was the police officer he had exchanged numbers with last night.
Speak of the devil - Chen Ke had just mentioned missing working on cases, and now a local police officer was calling. Could it be another case requiring assistance? Xu Mo glanced at Chen Ke, thinking to himself that Chen Ke's words might have jinxed it - work might be coming their way!

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
