Without any further ado, he pulled Wang Tian into his office.
"Wang classmate, if there's anything you need help with, feel free to ask. As long as I can manage it, I will definitely help you," Leng Qian said. In fact, he had thought of many ways to repay Wang Tian, but none of them seemed appropriate. Giving him a large sum of money? Too vulgar! This would not only belittle the other person but also make himself seem庸俗. Promising to let him date Leng Xinxin? It seemed they had already been dating for a while. He could tell a bit about his daughter's feelings, and in the morning, a few calls came in saying that Leng Xinxin and a man were showing affection at an auction house. It didn't take much to guess that the man was Wang Tian. After much thought, he couldn't come up with anything, so he said this.
"Uncle, you're too kind. Xinxin is my classmate and has helped me a lot at school..." He originally wanted to say something polite, but as he spoke, he suddenly remembered the time on the mountain when he had touched Leng Xinxin's chest while sleeping, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He paused for a moment and continued, "It's only natural for classmates to help each other." He wanted to make it seem like it was just mutual help among classmates, so Leng Qian wouldn't take it too seriously.
"Then how about I pay for the villa you bid on?" Leng Qian suddenly had an idea.
"That's not necessary. I can afford it myself." This suggestion had made Wang Tian a bit tempted. If Leng Qian paid, others would be less suspicious. Of course, he would transfer the money to the Leng Group's account, but if this led to the forces behind the auction investigating the Leng Group, it would be troublesome, even though it wouldn't necessarily harm them.
"I see..." Leng Qian wasn't surprised that Wang Tian had money. If he could own such a high-tech car, a bit of money was nothing. "I usually like to collect some ancient items. Are you interested in taking a look?"
"Sure." Wang Tian thought he would just take a piece to fulfill his wish. You show me respect, and I'll show you respect. This was Wang Tian's way of treating friends.
So, he followed him into the collection room behind.
Upon entering, he saw that most of the items were blue and white porcelain. It seemed he was a porcelain enthusiast. Blue and white porcelain was very expensive, with Yuan dynasty pieces typically worth millions. Moreover, blue and white porcelain was very elegant and refined, giving a feeling of transcendence. However, Wang Tian wasn't interested in this. It would be a pity if a piece worth millions were to break.
Hmm, there were also a few ancient zithers. Was he a zither enthusiast? From a person's hobbies, one could basically tell their character. In business, virtue is key, and this was indeed true.
Wang Tian's eyes swept over the room, and suddenly, one of the zithers caught his attention. It was a mysterious and indescribable attraction, like an old friend he hadn't seen in years. Although time had passed, and he could no longer recognize him, when he stood in front of him, he had a sense of familiarity.
"I'll take this one." Wang Tian pointed to the zither.
"Are you interested in ancient zithers, Wang classmate?" Leng Qian asked with a smile.
"No, I just like this kind of classical instrument and enjoy listening to it," Wang Tian said. "Does Uncle Leng like playing the zither?"
"Just a hobby. Since you like it so much, go ahead and try it out," Leng Qian said.
Wang Tian walked up to the zither, which was a deep gray. The body of the zither didn't seem to be made of wood, but the material was unknown. The zither strings were made of metal and were very shiny, but they clearly didn't match the body, giving a feeling of being out of place.
Wang Tian pressed his fingers on the strings, and a clear and pleasant sound "翁" (weng) was produced.
When his fingers touched the strings, that familiar feeling surged in his heart again. "Can I take this one?" he asked.
"Sure. I'll pack it for you." Leng Qian was very happy. If Wang Tian hadn't taken anything, he would have felt uncomfortable.
Leng Qian took out a large box, packed the zither, and handed it to Wang Tian.
"I'm off to school now." Wang Tian said.
"You don't have a car. Let Xinxin take you. This way, she can go to school too. This girl only knows how to skip school," Leng Qian said. Although he didn't value academic credentials, they were of no use to Leng Xinxin. However, learning was still important. Even if it didn't seem useful on the surface, it could improve one's personal cultivation. For example, even if a primary school student were given a fortune, he would only be a local tycoon.
Wang Tian walked out of the company's main gate. Soon, a Maserati drove out, and Leng Xinxin greeted him, asking him to get in. This time, she had come in Wang Tian's car and didn't bring her own, so she had to drive her mother's car to take Wang Tian to school.
Not long after Wang Tian and Leng Xinxin left, Leng Qian hurried to the car testing room. There, a group of experts gathered around the Blue Moon War Car, starting to study this game item. One old expert even put on his reading glasses for the first time... After a while, they concluded that the car's material was not from Earth, and many of its functions couldn't be used.
Without the specific fingerprint of a game player, the car couldn't transform into an airplane or a boat.
Did he encounter a UFO? Did aliens give him a car? Leng Qian frowned.
"Is there no value at all?" Leng Qian's face turned serious. After so much research by these experts, this was the result.
"Of course there is. Its design is very worth 'referencing'! Nowadays, luxury cars compete in materials and design. If we design a car based on this one using the best materials to create a high-end brand, we can definitely enter the international market," an expert who had studied marketing proposed.
Leng Qian's face relaxed. Indeed, the Blue Moon War Car's design was elegant, grand, and practical, almost perfect. Just with such a design, he could gain a reputation in the luxury car industry.
This car was alien technology and hadn't been patented on Earth... Not only could they reference it, but they could copy it. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.
"What did Dad give you? Let me see." In the car, Leng Xinxin asked.
"A zither." Wang Tian opened the box for her to see.
"Dad is so stingy, giving you the worst one from his collection," Leng Xinxin said unhappily.
"This is the one I chose myself..." Wang Tian explained.
"Are you going to take this zither to school?"
"Let's go to my place first."
