Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 279, Section 277: Changing the Watch

On Christmas morning, on the way from Shanshui Huating to Optics Valley.

Zhou Mingyuan was driving a little distracted.

Because in the passenger seat of the BMW Z4, Gu Caiwei had her two long legs crossed high, casually resting them on the glove box. If he glanced to the side, he could see a glimpse of fair skin at her ankles, as well as her tall and slender lines.

Today is Christmas.

Early in the morning, the shareholders of the coffee shop in the Fruit Princess WeChat group made an appointment to go to the store together to supervise the construction, and then happily celebrated Christmas until the evening.

But I don't know why.

At Leying Law Firm, Zhuo Luxia's new assistant suddenly had to take leave, so the tasks that had been arranged in the morning had to be temporarily handed over to Li Zhi.

Therefore, only Zhou Mingyuan and Gu Caiwei remained as the people who went to Optics Valley to supervise the construction.

"That's strange, why didn't that person say something sooner?"

"How can you do things like this?"

Gu Caiwei pouted and asked.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Zhou Mingyuan certainly thought so.

As we all know, sisters who operate on two fronts, especially those who are very close, will face a major problem in the early stages.

That is, how to break it down.

Ambiguity usually develops more intensely when people are alone, but the two best friends are always sticking together.

The key challenge for experts is to cleverly and subtly separate them.

Fortunately, Zhou Mingyuan had a close relationship with Leying Law Firm and had sufficient financial resources.

A lively party allowed him to easily connect Zhuo Luxia with a network of connections.

Not only did Attorney Zhuo establish a personal relationship with Mr. Chen of Douyu, but she also gained access to many high-quality resources in Jiangcheng's business circles.

Is this little favor even a big deal?

In the blink of an eye, Li Zhi was called back under the pretext of work.

Only he and Gu Caiwei remained.

"Why have you been living with Xiao Lizhi lately?"

".Why."

Gu Caiwei sighed, and a soft, sweet voice immediately filled the enclosed space.

"I wonder who it is!"

"I wrote an article on a WeChat public account called 'Nanhu Campus Gossip'."

"What did you write?"

Zhou Mingyuan gripped the steering wheel with one hand and asked curiously.

"This person compiled a list of sports cars in the schools around Nanhu and even ranked them."

"There's a Porsche Boots, a BMW Z4, a Mustang, and an MX-5."

The girl wore an expression that was both amusing and helpless.

"That post on WeChat went viral! It got tens of thousands of views."

"I was parking perfectly fine in the parking lot, and now so many people are gossiping about who the owner is."

"Why not just drive the car away and stay here for a few days?"

"That's it"

Zhou Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

In his view, this was simply the obvious thing to do.

Gu Caiwei is a freshman girl who lives in the school dormitory.

A striking, bright red convertible sports car was parked in the parking lot near the dormitory building of Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics.

How could it not attract gossip?
Clearly, the little princess wasn't mentally prepared for the same thing her senior had.

Both drive sports cars, but Du Jianuo enters and exits the school without any problem. She even applied for a pass from the college for convenience.

The senior student didn't care about any rumors or attention at all.

Moreover, we live in an era of rapid change.

In 2014, the times changed dramatically, and China began to enter a new normal of internet development.

That year, the development speed of self-media was astonishing, with an average daily increase of 1.5 WeChat public accounts. The mobile public opinion field of "three microblogs and one terminal" became the new focus of online public opinion, and information flowed from the traditional PC terminal to the mobile terminal, marking the full entry of the Internet into the mobile Internet era.

This is also the best of times.

Starting from this year, the activity level of opinion leaders, or "big V" groups, on Weibo has declined significantly.

According to incomplete statistics, the overall number of posts on Weibo has decreased by 40%, and there has been a large-scale migration to WeChat public accounts.

As the influence of WeChat public accounts expands, self-media personalities who often focus on vertical fields are gradually replacing Weibo "big V" accounts and taking over the discourse power in the new public opinion arena.

The world is shaking, and the impact on Gu Caiwei is just the tip of the iceberg.

"However, I saw a comment saying that the Porsche sports car belongs to your company's sister, Du Jianuo."

"really?"

The passenger seat was pushed all the way back, and the girl's whole body went limp in the seat, almost lying down, with her two long legs dangling in front of the glove box.

After all, it's my own car, so I can arrange it however I want, which gives me a great sense of relaxation.

Gu Caiwei gently raised her chin, observing Zhou Mingyuan's expression.

"real."

Zhou Mingyuan did not deny it.

"Being a live streamer is so lucrative?"

"What, Mr. Gu, are you thinking of changing careers?"

"That's not it. The main problem is that we've worked so hard for so long, but we haven't made much money."

In contrast, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but lower her eyes and look down.

For the first time, she felt somewhat defeated, despite always being very confident in her abilities.

In fact, is the Relief Coffee Shop profitable?
It's profitable.

However, compared to the mainstays of Jieyou Media, it falls short.

Moreover, Zhou Mingyuan did not reveal the most crucial information at all.

That was the Bosxter convertible sports car later known as the 718, which was actually a Christmas gift for my senior.

Du Jianuo herself doesn't have that kind of spending power.

"Don't rush things. There's no need to rush when it comes to making money."

"Hey, that's right."

When the topic of making money came up, Gu Caiwei seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Ok?"

"It's been a while since I heard you share your investment insights. How are your stock holdings going lately?"

"I haven't watched it for a while, but it should be alright."

Zhou Mingyuan smiled and drove the car out of the residential area.

He spent a few seconds estimating the amount of money in his account, and couldn't resist stepping on the gas pedal.

"Hello~"

Gu Caiwei was startled by the sensation of being pushed on the back, and her face paled.

"Drive slower!"

The wind howled in our faces, the engines roared loudly, and the cityscape on both sides transformed into rushing lines.
Everything seemed to have returned to the past, to his years in the capital, and he couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

Back then, he also loved racing cars; back then, he wanted to do whatever he wanted; back then, he longed for a life of hedonism and decadence.
He also enjoyed feeling the oncoming gale on the highways of the capital and despised the injustices of the world.

His passenger seat was often occupied by all sorts of girls.

When a man is speeding, there must be a girl sitting next to him.

When the speed reaches a certain level, the scenery begins to distort, the engine roars, and the sexy girl in the passenger seat screams—all of this can cause a man's hormones to surge at an alarming rate. That's right.

Beautiful and alluring girls of all kinds, full of sex appeal.

She's somewhat like Gu Caiwei today.

But as he searched his memory, he found no one who could compare to Gu Caiwei beside him.

Why are you wearing this?

This was the first thing Zhou Mingyuan said to Gu Caiwei when they met downstairs at Shanshui Huating.

Having lived two lives, he couldn't even hide the stirrings in his heart.

But the other person didn't seem to understand the emotions in his tone at all. Instead, she made a quick, roundabout way of speaking, like a charming young girl who was happily receiving compliments and praise from her boyfriend.

"Isn't it pretty?"

Isn't it pretty?
This voice echoed in Zhou Mingyuan's mind for a full two rounds.

It is so beautiful that it makes you feel dizzy.

As a typical example of someone who is beautiful and self-aware, Gu Caiwei is not only beautiful, but also extends that beauty to every detail.

For example, she likes to change her hairstyle every few days.

Today, Gu Caiwei sported a very delicate bun hairstyle.

Her delicate and charming neck further enhances the "long and slender" look, and her fair skin makes one want to describe her temperament as that of a swan.

Two small ears and smooth earlobes, almost transparent in the sunlight.

The VCA bracelet on her wrist reflected the light, melting into the fair glow of the girl's skin.

More than just beautiful.
Her features were a gift from the Creator: deep-set eyebrows, a pair of bright, captivating eyes, a pert nose, and two distinctive, alluring dimples.

Even Zhou Mingyuan couldn't take his eyes off it.

What surprised him most was Gu Caiwei's outfit today.

She actually...
She actually came out wearing a pair of MALA ACTIVE high-waisted yoga pants.

Furthermore, she bought the new style that Du Jianuo had promoted in the live broadcast room, which is known for its exquisite tailoring and high-end fabrics, perfectly outlining Gu Caiwei's lower body curves.

The grayish-white fabric, like a second skin, clung tightly to her pert buttocks, making her hips appear even fuller and rounder.

The smooth lines on the side not only have a visually elongating effect, but also enhance her firm skin texture.

The high-waisted design seamlessly connects with the top, further elongating the leg proportions.

Meanwhile, she wore a cropped sweatshirt in the same color tone, with an off-the-shoulder design and a slightly cutout effect.

A very thin silver chain was used as a support on the left shoulder, cleverly holding up the fabric and revealing the girl's rounded shoulders and well-defined collarbones.

The silhouette of the inner sports vest is vaguely outlined in the hazy light, yet it retains a touch of mystery just right.

The hem features a bold cropped design, revealing a glimpse of a toned waist and abdomen.

The round, small navel in the center is perfectly placed on the midline of the abdomen, which, while sexy and alluring, also strangely blends a touch of girlish innocence and naivety.

White.

Dazzling white.

However, what's even more captivating is the overall visual impact of this outfit.

The MALA ACTIVE yoga pants, at nine-tenths length, perfectly revealed her slender ankles.

Extending upwards, it fully showcases her pair of straight and slender beautiful legs.

From firm thighs to smooth knees and shapely calves, every part exudes boundless vitality.

"pretty."

"Absolutely gorgeous."

"You can talk."

Upon hearing Zhou Mingyuan's praise, Gu Caiwei couldn't help but giggle.

She seems to have a natural talent for showcasing her physical advantages; even a simple crossing of her legs exudes a touch of femininity.

Neck, shoulders, waist, abdomen, long legs.
Not too much, but not too little, skin is exposed to the early winter air.

Is this the kind of clothing a supervisor, or even someone working alongside, should wear?

How to see.
They're all a bit too sexy and alluring.

But upon closer examination, it also reveals a touch of the carefree and uninhibited nature that only a young girl possesses.

Zhou Mingyuan admitted that his heart was in turmoil, and he tried his best to face the road ahead and concentrate on his work.

Of course he knew that Gu Caiwei was a great beauty, and of course he also knew about Gu Caiwei's aesthetic sense and dressing skills.

But now, every time he sees her, he feels it more and more.
The little princess's charm seems to be growing stronger every day.

Gu Caiwei naturally possesses a composure and elegance cultivated by good upbringing and a privileged environment.

Zhou Mingyuan could tell that her stylish sweatshirt, her perfectly fitted MALA ACTIVE yoga pants, even her seemingly casual yet high-end sneakers and VCA bracelet were all quite valuable.

However, when properly matched, it is fashionable and stylish, without any sense of vulgarity, but rather has a subtle noble air like that of an upper-class princess.

She's really getting better and better at taking care of herself and dressing up, even occasionally adding a touch of alluring charm.
However, when all of these elements are put together, there is an undeniable air of pure, cute, and playful charm.

It is as exquisite and dazzling as something out of a cartoon world.

Zhou Mingyuan was not the kind of nerdy guy who had never been with a beautiful woman.

Even in his world.

I'm already used to seeing pretty girls, no matter what style they are.

But even they couldn't resist Gu Caiwei's dazzling allure.

He actually felt an urge to do something.

Once the car started moving, the little princess became even more relaxed. She pushed the passenger seat back as far as it could, lowered the backrest, kicked off her sneakers, and lifted her two long, beautiful legs, placing them on the glove box, almost touching the windshield.

This is actually not very elegant.

But
The convertible top was closed, and the car was tinted with privacy film, so no one except Zhou Mingyuan could see him clearly.

"Here, this is my Christmas present for you."

The girl grabbed her bag, brushed aside the stray hairs falling around her neck, took out a rectangular velvet box, and handed it to Zhou Mingyuan.

The box is a deep, dark blue color and looks to be of excellent quality.

The man had already guessed there would be a gift.

Given Gu Caiwei's strong sense of ritual, she would never arrive empty-handed for a holiday.

But the formal and exquisite packaging still surprised him somewhat.

He stopped the car while the light was red, picked up the box, and found it to be neither too heavy nor too light, and warm to the touch.

"what?"

Zhou Mingyuan had already guessed most of it.

"open to take a look."

Gu Caiwei smiled, a hint of girlish slyness and anticipation in her eyes.

Zhou Mingyuan did as instructed, using his fingertips to pry open the box lid.

The interior is lined with soft black fabric, and a wristwatch rests quietly in the center.

Eh?
The man looked up and his gaze met Gu Caiwei's smiling eyes.

That was a Rolex Submariner watch, commonly known as the "Black Submariner".

The classic black dial, simple hands, robust case, and the highly recognizable unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel.

He certainly recognized this once-popular watch.

It was not only a high-performance mechanical watch, but it also became a kind of symbol in later generations.

"You."

Gu Caiwei's bright eyes darted around as she analyzed the man's micro-expressions: "Company employees drive sports cars, and you, such a big boss, are still wearing a Longines."

Why be so frugal?

"It's long overdue to get a new watch."
