Chapter 1583 - 634: One-Day Tour (Part 2)
Finally, Zhou Wang realized, huh, doesn’t Huaxia have all these things?
Moreover, in terms of exquisite craftsmanship, Zhou Wang didn’t think this place could surpass Huaxia.
With that thought, Zhou Wang’s interest immediately waned.
As a result, he directly canceled the tour of Cheongwadae.
He realized that there wasn’t much to see in the historical and cultural sites of Korea.
Since Zhou Wang had his preferences, the guide team adjusted the itinerary accordingly. After enjoying a Michelin three-star Korean feast in a private room at Gaon Restaurant, they headed straight to Cheongdam-dong, known as the "Asian Beverly Hills," for a shopping spree.
Once there, Zhou Wang’s mood visibly improved.
After all, being a developed country, the quality of the top luxury stores here is quite reliable. During the closed private shopping session, Zhou Wang indeed found many good things.
This included some unique pieces from top watch brands and some very exquisite trinkets.
After this round of shopping, it was no surprise that Zhou Wang spent two to three million RMB. Because it was abroad, he could only swipe Zhao Hang’s credit card, so his cash wasn’t depleted.
Xu Wenqian was long used to Zhou Wang’s extravagant spending, but it was Sura, shopping with Zhou Wang for the first time, who was left dumbfounded.
This was because Zhou Wang spent those millions within an hour.
There was no such thing as comparing prices or haggling; as soon as Zhou Wang took a liking to something, he’d immediately have it packed up. In fact, for items like clothes, if it weren’t for Xu Wenqian’s constant advice, Zhou Wang probably wouldn’t even bother trying them on, just sizing them up and having them packed.
During this process, Zhou Wang casually bought a bag for both her and Xu Wenqian, and even a set of clothes, jokingly saying "business trip allowance."
Sura was left holding a Balenciaga dress in one hand and an LV limited edition new bag in the other, almost moved to tears.
When Qi Jiayi assigned her to a business trip to Korea before, Sura had a bit of a grudge, since she’d been traveling non-stop and couldn’t find any time to rest. But now, breathing in the leather scent of the new bag, Sura was so moved she almost cried...
The money Zhou Wang spent on her, not counting bonuses, was roughly equivalent to her pure income for half a year.
This world is truly worth it, she thought; she wanted to follow Zhou Wang forever.
After shopping, the next stop was one of the most anticipated activities for the girls - the "Seoul Beauty Tour."
Korea’s reputation in this area is well-known, and the guide team’s itinerary was to first visit Seoul’s top plastic surgery hospital for a one-on-one comprehensive consultation by the director, followed by a customized anti-aging and skin management plan.
As for surgery, neither Xu Wenqian nor Sura considered it... Xu Wenqian knew Zhou Wang preferred natural beauties, while Sura simply couldn’t afford it and was already happy to score some free skincare products.
While the girls teamed up for the plastic surgery hospital, Zhou Wang arrived first at the Amorepacific spa flagship store.
After a day of shopping, the most comfortable way to relax was naturally a foot bath.
Of course, Zhou Wang’s phrasing was a bit crude, as the self-proclaimed "top spa palace" Amorepacific spa flagship store offered services far beyond simple foot baths.
Amorepacific, translated as "Amorepacific," is one of the top 20 global beauty and health companies, headquartered in Seoul, Korea.
This brand might be unfamiliar to many, but if guys check the purchase brands of their girlfriends’ shampoos and skincare, they’ll find many Amorepacific sub-brands.
Including over 20 well-known brands like ETUDE HOUSE, RYO, and HERA, covering skincare, makeup, fragrance, hair care, body care, and health tea products.
Zhou Wang was now at this brand-owned spa flagship store, and without a doubt, it was only open to the aristocracy. For the average salaried person in Korea, a month’s salary would roughly equate to the "consultation fee" here.
Greeted at the door by a team of exclusive therapists led by the director, Zhou Wang entered an independent suite reserved for top VIPs, followed by a complex consultation process.
First came a professional physician consultation, followed by high-tech equipment analyzing body composition to generate a therapy report, then skin analysis with a scanner, and finally, the sweet-looking chief therapist confirmed with Zhou Wang:
"Mr. Zhou, your physical state is impressive, with only minor flaws. May I confirm whether your target this time is deep relaxation, detox, relief of specific pain, or skin revitalization?"
"Deep relaxation... I just need relaxation."
Feeling drowsy, Zhou Wang sat up straight with a serious tone after hearing the evaluation was over.
Worried the mature therapist might misunderstand him, he quickly added a clarification.
...
Ten minutes later, Zhou Wang was sitting in a salt-filled massage bathtub, enjoying the muscle relaxation provided by two young ladies behind him, and couldn’t help but grin:
"Indeed, the wealthy everywhere are equally decadent!"
Of course, although there were inevitable bumps and slight flirtations during the process, the entire therapy was undeniably legitimate.
The two young ladies applied exfoliating products all over Zhou Wang, followed by a Swedish-style custom massage personally conducted by the chief therapist. This was followed by a facial treatment using the spa center’s own brand.
Since Zhou Wang explicitly requested 100% relaxation, he comfortably fell asleep twice during the process.
He thought the process would end after the facial treatment, but to his surprise, a "hot stone therapy" bath was also on the agenda.
Inside a stone bathtub made of smooth basalt, filled with infused oils and petals, the therapist switched into swimwear and entered the water, supporting Zhou Wang’s body through a series of stretches and massages...
The seemingly gentle therapist actually had considerable force, massaging Zhou Wang into a delightful soreness, yet afterward providing an unmatched feeling of weightless relaxation, greatly easing his recent fatigue from overwork.
As Zhou Wang finally emerged, stretching from the SPA room, Xu Wenqian and others had just finished the consultation process at the plastic surgery hospital.
Seeing that it was nearing dusk outside, the hungry Zhou Wang had no plans to wait for them. After sending Sura a message to let them return to the hotel after wrapping up, Zhou Wang leisurely stretched and headed out to his next appointment.
At that moment, the therapist, already changed into her professional dress, approached Zhou Wang and slipped him a personal business card, winking at him.
Zhou Wang was now well-acquainted with various flirtation routines. After the therapist left, he glanced at the card, finding neatly written Korean along with a phone number on the back.
Zhou Wang had only practiced speaking and didn’t really understand written language, but the meaning wasn’t hard to guess.
Regardless of what was written, it boiled down to just four words: "Want to be with you."
Zhou Wang chuckled, walked out of the spa, and casually tossed the card into a nearby trash can before pulling out his phone to message Jin Zhixiu:
"Have you eaten yet? I booked a boat on the Han River, let’s have dinner and chat... Send your location, and I’ll have someone pick you up."
Using translation software, the message was sent as a long text, but essentially boiled down to four words: "Want to be with you."
Upon seeing Jin Zhixiu’s reply of "okay," Zhou Wang was about to scroll his phone when he noticed an unread message from Qu Peining.
He had assigned Qu Peining to closely watch over Cui Min’er, so it was likely a matter related to her.
Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow with some surprise upon reading, then replied to Qu Peining after some thought:
"Don’t worry about it for now, I’ll handle it."
