"By the way, Mr. Luo, there’s one more thing."
"Our Patek Philippe, in appreciation of your support, Mr. Luo, has specially prepared a gift for you!"
After Li Qiang finished speaking, he had his assistant bring over a gift box.
"What kind of gift is this?"
Luofeng recalled buying sothing for his dad last ti and receiving a Patek Philippe scarf as a gift, which he then gave to his mom. It was supposedly worth a million, but his dad had let the cat out of the bag, and Luofeng had been scolded by his mom for it.
Patek Philippe offered a wide variety of gifts, from commorative coins, brooches, and cufflinks to scarves, wallets, and even portable cigar boxes.
Looking at the rather small gift box before him, Luofeng wondered, A wallet? Or maybe a condom?
Li Qiang didn’t beat around the bush. "This is a complicated chronograph wristwatch from our boutique, the 7121J series. It’s not exceptionally valuable, but it’s a small token of our appreciation!"
Luofeng imdiately opened the packaging.
Inside was a gold ladies’ watch, studded with diamonds and featuring a Moon Phase function. Its price was around 240,000 yuan.
Compared to the 17,000,000 yuan 6002 wristwatch, it really isn’t very valuable. But taken on its own? Is a 240,000 yuan watch really cheap? This is a big gift indeed. And not a token gesture like so previous gifts! Patek Philippe has really put so thought into this!
And this watch looked very nice. Even though the price was only 250,000 yuan, it had diamonds and a Moon Phase function. Combined with the gold case and the Patek Philippe brand, it exuded luxury.
"Thank you!" After a brief look, Luofeng closed the box and accepted the gift.
"It’s our pleasure. You’re too kind, Mr. Luo," Li Qiang replied.
Luofeng quickly left Patek Philippe and headed straight for Jingzhou.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Jingzhou Second University, Luofeng thought for a mont and decided to visit a driving school.
Don’t get wrong. Luofeng had a driver’s license, but he wanted to arrange for Bai Ningbing to learn to drive. Once she has a license, she can legally hit the road, right?
After all the back-and-forth, Luofeng had beco numb to the hassle. Now, he felt that a private plane might also be an option, but only an option. He certainly didn’t have the ans for it.
Should I spend my entire fortune on a plane? The costs alone are a headache. So... I’d better give up for now. Indeed, my wealth is still a bit lacking.
At the entrance of Jing No.2 University, there was a driving school registration office. Luofeng was checking out the instructor qualifications.
"Hello, are you looking to learn to drive?" a staff mber asked, noticing Luofeng step out of a black Audi.
"How many instructors do you have? How many cars? How is the teaching schedule arranged? And where is the training location?" Luofeng inquired.
The staff mber replied, "We have fourteen instructors and fourteen training vehicles. The teaching schedule is very flexible and won’t interfere with your classes. You can co learn whenever you find the ti."
"For Subject One, we’ll help you clock in for attendance, but you’ll need to download the exam questions and study them yourself. Then we’ll arrange the exam."
"For Subject Two, the practice location is not far from this university and can accommodate up to six cars for simultaneous instruction!"
"As for Subject Three, training is arranged near the airport. This is sothing students need to pay special attention to. However, we offer pick-up and drop-off services, and we promise that no instructor will privately charge any additional fees!"
The staff mber patiently explained for a long ti. Luofeng knew they earned a commission for recruiting students.
"Do you have female instructors?"
"Of course!" the staff mber nodded. "We have three. However, choosing a female instructor will add an extra 1,000 yuan to the fee. You should be aware of this beforehand."
"Do you have any VIP teaching options?" Luofeng had looked but hadn’t seen any.
"We absolutely can! We can also provide customized plans! As long as you have specific needs, we can et them and discuss the fees item by item!"
Luofeng smiled. This driving school is sowhat interesting.
"Firstly, regarding the female instructor, I need to choose the one with the best temperant out of the three," Luofeng stated.
"No problem!"
Her temperant has to be good. Even if it were a pig, as long as I paid enough, its temperant would have to be impeccable.
"Basically, it will be unrestricted one-on-one teaching. Of course, we won’t be calling the female instructor to teach late at night," Luofeng added as a reminder.
"Certainly!" the staff mber confird with a nod.
"Thirdly, the teaching attitude. If a student complains, I expect you to handle it seriously," Luofeng said.
"Absolutely no problem! The custor is always right!" the staff mber replied.
So driving schools just don’t get it. The one paying to learn is supposed to be God, but they end up being treated like doormats? Schools like that truly deserve to go out of business.
"Shall we discuss the fees?" Luofeng asked.
"Based on your requirents, our Rainbow Driving School usually charges a basic fee upfront. This goes through the official channels. For private arrangents, we charge separately. Do you understand?"
Luofeng nodded. The basic fee is what everyone pays, but for VIP service, you have to pay extra under the table. I get it.
"For each individual teaching session, whether for Subject Two or Subject Three, if booked a day in advance, a three-hour session is 500 yuan, and a six-hour session is 1,000 yuan!"
"If you book at the last minute without an appointnt, the price will definitely double!"
"After all, we can’t have a female instructor on standby for you 24/7!"
Learning to drive can really drag on. What if it takes half a year and she’s still not good? Would a female instructor have to be on call for one person for that long? It’s not impossible, but the price would be through the roof.
"Alright, let’s go with your plan," Luofeng nodded. I’ve been through getting a driver’s license myself. If my family hadn’t pulled so strings, who knows how badly I would’ve been mistreated. Could I let Bai Ningbing be taken advantage of? Moreover, their charging model wasn’t a one-ti fee but based on service ti.
Quickly, they signed the basic contract. Luofeng paid a driving lesson fee of 5,800 yuan.
Then he had the driver head towards the hotel where Bai Ningbing and Tangya were staying.
Before setting off, Luofeng called Bai Ningbing. "Ningbing, are you up yet?"
"It’s so late, how could I still be in bed?" Bai Ningbing replied, her voice tinged with playful reproach.
"You’re at the Jiahua Hotel, right? You didn’t go to the university?" Luofeng asked.
"We did go to the university! We’re in the library. I’m studying, and my mom is working overti on so docunts," Bai Ningbing said.
"Okay, then. I’ll head over to find you." As soon as Luofeng finished speaking, the driver turned the car around and headed back towards Jingzhou Second University.
"Finished with your errands?" Bai Ningbing asked.
"Definitely!" Luofeng nodded without hesitation.
