Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 156: Doctor of Medicine
Seeing that Zhou Wangcai had only been sighing for less than a minute and then started to brag again, Jiang Qingkui gave him a displeased look.

But couldn't refute it.

Because Zhou Wang has achieved his current success at such a young age as a college graduate, his spine must be straight when he stands here.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if we eliminate the age limit, how many people can surpass his achievements in the more than 100 years since Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School was founded?
Those who go into politics don’t count, after all, it’s not the same track.

Coincidentally, both of their cell phones rang at the same time.

"Lao Guo."

"Teacher Qin."

The two looked at each other and found it quite interesting that their former class teachers called at the same time.

The two men answered the phone and said "hmm" and "ah" for a while. Zhou Wang hung up first. After waiting for more than a minute, Jiang Qingkui finished talking to Qin Li.

"What did Director Qin say?" Zhou Wangcai asked at this time.

"Let me go to the small conference room..."

"Tsk, it seems that Lao Guo is still not doing well. He just asked me to go to the lecture hall..."

When Zhou Wang heard it, he immediately heard the difference.

The morning activities were actually quite informal. According to the electronic invitation, it was a self-service cocktail party with a relaxed atmosphere, which was designed to allow new and old alumni to get to know each other and learn about the changes in the school over the years...

On the surface, this is the case.

But, it is clear that there are two different venues at the moment.

The large classroom is the main venue for the cocktail party where everyone can attend, and there is also a small conference room that is not listed on the invitation letter, which seems to be prepared for "outstanding alumni".

There is nothing wrong with that.

Important people are treated preferentially everywhere, and some topics are not suitable for public discussion.

Zhou Wang was too lazy to explore whether Lao Guo didn't really believe what Yang Hao said, or he was not at a high enough level and couldn't go to the small meeting room himself... or maybe it was both reasons.

"Let's go."

Zhou Wang naturally had to follow Jiang Qingkui to take a walk around the small conference room first.

It must be said that among the alumni of Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School who attended the event, there are indeed some people that Zhou Wang admires. Although Zhou Wang himself cannot do what they do, it does not prevent him from getting to know them.

With such wealth and status, there is no need to do anything naughty. Besides, Zhou Wang really wants to see if he can do something for his alma mater.

……

At the same time, in the principal's office.

Hearing the knock on the door, Principal Li Xiumen, who was sitting behind the desk, said "Come in", and Qin Li, the Dean of Academic Affairs who had just been promoted this year, pushed the door and walked in.

"headmaster……"

"Is everyone here?"

"It's almost time. Do you think we should go over now?"

"Who's coming?"

Li Xiuwen did not stand up in a hurry, but asked instead.

Qin Li sat on the sofa with half of his buttocks, and laughed as he recalled: "About half of the people on the invitation list we sent out have come. Most of them are not lucky enough to make it, so we can only see if we can make it in time for the next event..."

"Then the people you focused on, Academician Lei and Academician Zhao, are here... With these two heavyweights coming out, the momentum of the event has been created, and the municipal government also appreciates it."

Seeing Qin Li's excitement, Li Xiuwen did not comment, but asked:
"What about Mr. Chen? Mr. Gu? And Ms. Wang?"

"Mr. Chen is in Hong Kong, and Ms. Wang is also going abroad for a research project of the foundation. Mr. Gu will not be available until next week, so..."

Qin Li said with some embarrassment after hearing this.

Li Xiumen didn't say anything else, but just frowned slightly.

Qin Li knew very well why Li Xiuwen was still dissatisfied even though some bigwigs had come forward...

As a woman in her early forties, Li Xiuwen is definitely a young and promising person to be able to hold the position of principal (department level) of No. 1 Middle School.

Her external image is known for her friendliness, but Qin Li knows that she is actually very strong-willed and ambitious. She really wants to make some achievements in her position to offset some of the criticism from the outside world...

After all, women in leadership positions always have to endure more scrutiny than men.

Li Xiuwen thought that this back-to-school season event was a good opportunity. She really wanted to create something different to bring the reputation of Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School to a higher level.

The two academicians certainly have great weight, but those people are too old, they are all alumni from the last century...

It can be said that whenever Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School has any major event, these people always give their full support. To use the words on the Internet, they are a bit "aesthetically fatigued".

That is the foundation of Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School, but it is not Li Xiuwen's credit.

Li Xiuwen let out a sigh, then straightened his expression, stood up with a smile, and said, "Let's go to the small meeting room first."

……

Zhou Wang followed Jiang Qingkui to the small conference room. No one asked any questions, so he simply registered at the door and entered.

Although it is called a small meeting room, the internal space is actually very large. Together with the balcony extending to the outside, it is a full 200 square meters.

The traditional conference table was removed, leaving only long tables with drinks and desserts on both sides, with some sofas and chairs scattered around, creating a relaxed overall atmosphere.

When the two entered, there were already dozens of people in the conference room.

Zhou Wang took a quick look at the alumni who were chatting and laughing together. Very few of them were in their twenties or thirties. If Zhou Wang wasn't counted, people like Jiang Qingkui were the youngest among them. Most of them were over thirty or forty years old, and there was also a white-haired old man...

When Zhou Wang saw the old man, he was instantly filled with awe.

This old man surnamed Lei is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a famous astronomer, a recipient of the special allowance of the XX Academy, and a leading figure in the academic community among the alumni of Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School. Zhou Wang once sat in the audience and listened to his speeches.

Academician Lei is already eighty years old. He is one of the pioneers in restoring China's glory and has a very high reputation.

The other old man in his fifties or sixties next to him was also very remarkable. According to Jiang Qingkui's whispered introduction, he was Academician Zhao of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, an expert in petroleum and chemical engineering, and also a recipient of a special allowance.

These two are the most important figures present.

At this time, someone near the balcony noticed the two people who came in. One of the tall men in a suit and tie immediately waved and said, "Junior Sister Jiang, this way!"

Zhou Wang looked over and saw that the people gathered there were a relatively young group of people in the conference room.

Facing Zhou Wang's questioning eyes, Jiang Qingkui explained softly, "Brother Lu Bo, the top scholar two years older than me, a doctor of medicine, was the one who introduced me to the alumni association... Can you come over?"

Zhou Wang nodded indifferently and followed Jiang Qingkui over.

There were five or six young men and women gathered on the balcony, their ages were probably between 25 and 35. Although they were dressed differently, they all had a strong Kochi atmosphere.

Zhou Wang couldn't help but smack his lips. He was just a "dog" with only a few coins. It seemed a bit out of place standing here...

As Zhou Wang and Jiang Qingkui approached, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of the group of people.

It wasn't just because Zhou Wang looked too young, but because Jiang Qingkui's position was clearly slightly behind Zhou Wang's.

What is the relationship between these two?
"Junior Sister Jiang, who is this?" Lu Bo asked puzzledly.

"My fellow brothers and sisters, let me introduce him to you. His name is Zhou Wang. He is our 20th-level junior. At the same time... he is also my boss."

Jiang Qingkui's previous introduction was fine, and everyone just smiled in response, with some confusion at most.

Does this junior have any special relationship with me, so Jiang Qingkui brought him here...

But when Jiang Qingkui paused and said the last sentence, everyone couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"?"

This has nothing to do with facial expression management. From their point of view, even people with high emotional intelligence would be unable to comprehend if they suddenly heard such a sentence.

"Boss?" Lu Bo asked in confusion.

"I am his secretary now."

Facing everyone's surprised expressions, Jiang Qingkui seemed very calm. He nodded and continued speaking.

"???"

If he was just wondering just now, then at this moment Dr. Lu Bo felt like his cerebellum was atrophying.

"Boss and Secretary, you, what are you doing..."

Lu Bo opened his mouth, perhaps he really didn't know what to say, but his expression was quite distorted.

Zhou Wang could detect some not-so-positive emotions from his complex expression, such as contempt, hostility, absurdity, etc.

It was not surprising. When he came over just now, Zhou Wang felt that Senior Brother Lu Bo looked at Jiang Qingkui with some undisguised eagerness. In fact, even if it was Zhou Wang himself, if he met a woman like Jiang Qingkui in the same circle, it would be difficult not to be moved.

She is pretty, tall, smart, and self-disciplined. At least she has never had a boyfriend...

It's simply the perfect object.

At this time, another guy in his early thirties on the balcony was obviously also interested in Jiang Qingkui. He also lost his composure for a moment, but he was more reserved than Lu Bo and did not show it too much.

"We just have a normal working relationship."

Jiang Qingkui obviously also noticed that Lu Bo was a little out of control. She frowned, suppressed her impatience and said another sentence.

"Hello, Junior Brother Zhou Wang, may I ask what business you are in?"

Perhaps noticing that the atmosphere was a little off, a smiling woman nearby interrupted in time.

Zhou Wang glanced at her. This senior sister, who was about thirty years old, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, had a very standard oval face, fair skin, and was quite charming.

If we ignore Jiang Qingkui, she is the most eye-catching person here.

"The industries involved are quite diverse, including media, entertainment, and everything else. Well, we may also invest in medicine in the near future."

In any case, the attitude of this beautiful senior sister made people feel much more comfortable, so Zhou Wang answered with a smile.

"Then you are in charge of a big business, no wonder our excellent junior sister Qingkui is willing to work for you!"

Senior Jinsi laughed in amazement, "I don't know about other things, but medicine is a really money-burning business. For example, our hospital has invested tens of billions, but it is said that it has not yet recovered its investment..."

Zhou Wang was startled when he heard this, and Jiang Qingkui explained in time: "Senior Sister Zhong Huilan is also a doctor of medicine who returned from overseas. She just returned to China recently and is currently working as an associate chief physician in a high-end private hospital in Shanghai..."

Listening to Jiang Qingkui's introduction, Zhou Wang suddenly understood and immediately smiled with emotion:

"So, Senior Sister Zhong, people like you are the best. There is still the risk of capital loss, but you have these skills, and you can do well wherever you go."

"Junior, you are so nice to talk to. Let's keep in touch. If you come to Shanghai in the future, I will treat you to a meal!"

Zhong Huilan smiled with her hand covering her mouth, unlocked her phone and handed over the QR code directly.

"That's fine. It just so happens that the hospital I plan to invest in is also in Shanghai. Maybe I'll have the chance to deal with Senior Sister Zhong in the future."

Zhou Wang wasn't sure how much of a role the "charm" aura played in this, but facing Zhong Huilan's enthusiasm, he really couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he just glanced at her.

After seeing the note sent by the other party, Zhou Wang was slightly startled. The hospital where she worked was the "Magic City Jiahui International" where the system was interacting with reality and helping Zhou Wang to obtain shares.

Zhou Wang didn't think about this at first because there are at least a dozen high-end private hospitals like Jiahui International in a place like Shanghai. If you add the two major areas of obstetrics and gynecology and plastic surgery, there will be even more hospitals...

At this time, before Zhou Wang could say anything, Lu Bo, who had been holding back for a while, probably couldn't help it anymore, he laughed and said:

"Even hospitals need investment? Then Junior Brother Zhou Wang's business must be quite big, at least hundreds of millions, right?"

"It's OK, about the same."

Zhou Wang smiled faintly and nodded.

Lu Bo didn't doubt that Zhou Wang had no money. After all, he looked elegant in his clothes, and Jiang Qingkui wasn't that stupid...

But in his eyes, at Zhou Wang's age, even if he was really rich, he could obviously be directly classified as a "second-generation entrepreneur."

Under this premise, Zhou Wang is really boasting too much.

It’s both media and medical…

Everyone knows that these are money-burning businesses. Do you think you are a second-generation entrepreneur like Sicong, and that your starting capital for entrepreneurship is in the billions?

He really couldn't stand Zhou Wang's "boasting" face anymore, so he couldn't help but stab him.

Beautiful girls among the top students were already a scarce resource, and now even Zhong Huilan had clearly developed a crush on Zhou Wang. The men present all felt a little uncomfortable, but Lu Bo was particularly upset...

But he didn't expect that Zhou Wang would admit it directly.

This time, Lu Bo really wanted to compete with Zhou Wang——

"Then I wonder which hospital in the Magic City is the one that Junior Brother Zhou Wang is planning to invest in? Can you tell me?"

Lü Bo asked with a smile, "I just happened to be going to Shanghai to develop my career recently, and I know a lot about the hospitals there. Senior Sister Zhong is also here. As insiders, we might be able to give you some reference advice."

Zhou Wang glanced at the system's real-world interaction progress, which had reached "97%", and smiled faintly when he heard this.

"It's nothing inconvenient to say. It's quite a coincidence that the hospital I plan to invest in is the hospital where Senior Sister Zhong works, Magic City Jiahui International."

"what?"

Zhong Huilan was a little surprised when she heard this, and the people around her were also stunned.

Even if they didn't understand, Zhong Huilan had just said clearly that Magic City Jiahui International Hospital had invested at least several billion...

It is no exaggeration to say that even one hundred million yuan would not make a big difference when investing in a large hospital of this level.

"So how many shares of Modou Jiahui does Junior Brother Zhou Wang plan to acquire?" Lu Bo suppressed his smile and asked again.

"About 20 to 30 percent."

Zhou Wang shrugged, "If it's too little, the investment will lose its meaning."

After hearing Zhou Wang's answer, Lu Bo seemed to be unable to hold back any longer and laughed intermittently, with his laughter growing louder and louder.

"No... I'm sorry, I just can't hold it anymore..."

The others looked at Lu Bo's exaggerated laughter and felt a little puzzled.

They just thought Zhou Wang's statement was too exaggerated. Twenty or thirty percent would be more than a billion, which really sounded fake...

But this was a social occasion after all, and Lu Bo's undisguised ridicule would make them feel a little embarrassed...

You can laugh, but you don't have to be so direct, right?
Jiang Qingkui couldn't help but frown and was about to say something. At this time, Zhong Huilan pursed her lips and hesitated before speaking: "Um... Junior Zhou Wang, if you really want to invest in our hospital, you... you might have to be more cautious..."

"Senior Sister Zhong, if you have anything to say, just tell me. It's okay."

Zhou Wang could tell that this was not what she really wanted to say, and he raised his eyebrows.

"It's like this. I don't know where you found the investment channel, but the wholly-owned holding company behind our Jiahui International is a private equity fund in Hong Kong... Well, normally, it is unlikely to accept outsiders to invest..."

Zhong Huilan spoke very subtly, but everyone present understood her, and their expressions became strange for a moment.

No wonder Lu Bo laughed so hard...

There is no doubt that the consortium fund in Hong Kong is extremely exclusive, but as soon as Zhou Wang opened his mouth, he threatened to acquire 20 to 30 percent of Jiahui International's shares.

Either he was cheated, or... Zhou Wang was just bragging at a very low level.

No matter which one it was, Lu Bo's laughter at this moment was understandable.

"Sister Zhong, thank you for your reminder, but I think there should be no problem with this investment."

Zhou Wang didn’t know the background of Jiahui International... nor did he need it.

But no matter what, Zhong Huilan had no ill will towards him, so he still smiled and nodded.

Jiang Qingkui was also a little stunned, but she didn't doubt Zhou Wang. After all, Zhou Wang had mentioned before that he wanted her to go to the Magic City to look for an investment. At this moment, she was just a little worried that Zhou Wang had really been deceived...

However, Jiang Qingkui naturally would not ask Zhou Wang at this time. Instead, Lu Bo saw that Zhou Wang was still being stubborn and was about to say a few more words when a group of people walked in from the door of the conference room.

Leading the group is Li Xiuwen, the principal of Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School, followed by a group of school management and some senior teachers.

When the landlord showed up, everyone put down their drinks and greeted him with a smile. Zhou Wang and Jiang Qingkui were no exception.

Although Lao Guo was not qualified to be here, the current Dean of Academic Affairs, Qin Li, had also taught Zhou Wang...

Only Lu Bo felt a little regretful that he hadn't really embarrassed Zhou Wang yet. But no matter what, he had succeeded in ruining the show...

Li Xiuwen had a warm smile on her face. She greeted the two academicians first, then walked around the room, shaking hands and greeting the alumni in the conference room one by one.

"Hehe, Director Zhong, are you used to living in the Magic City?"

"Qingkui, you are prettier in person than in the photo. It's a pity that I was transferred to No. 1 Middle School after you graduated, so I didn't have the chance to interact with you at that time..."

"Dr. Liu, I heard that you went to the Institute of Geology..."

"Dr. Lu, you are young and promising..."

Every alumnus who shook hands with President Li Xiumen felt a little flattered, because even if they had never met him before, Li Xiumen could accurately say their names and even had some understanding of their work.

But when it was Zhou Wang's turn, Li Xiumen, who was about to open her mouth and smile, suddenly got stuck.

Looking at the handsome young face in front of her, her mind went blank. After a moment of confusion, she subconsciously looked at Qin Li next to her, with dissatisfaction and blame in her eyes.

No, why doesn’t this person seem to be on the invitation list you gave me?
