Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 180: An unreasonable world and unreasonable people (Updated)
Buzz!

The merchants on both sides of the alley were also alarmed, and many people ran out, watching the row of priceless supercars drive to the gate of the hardware community at the end of the alley.

The McLaren P1 stopped first, and as its butterfly-wing-like doors opened, a young man with a casual posture crawled out, then stood in place and stretched vigorously.

"Finally here. If I drive a supercar on the highway again, I'll be a fool!"

Zhou Wang stretched his limbs and thought so.

Backache, poor vision... It can be said that apart from enjoying the excellent performance of McLaren, there was no experience at all.

Fortunately, many cars couldn't bear the fuel consumption, so everyone went to the gas station to refuel together, which was considered a short break. Otherwise, Zhou Wang felt that his waist was really going to break.

All of them were filled with 98-grade gasoline, and it cost tens of thousands of yuan just to fill up these more than cars.

However, compared to the suffering everyone had endured, this was really nothing to make up for it, so Zhou Wang bought thirty ten-thousand-yuan stored-value cards at the gas station and gave one to each person as a token of his apology.

Zhou Wang twisted his neck again and then looked forward.

As soon as he drove into the alley, Zhou Wang noticed the crowd of people gathered here, and he could see Xu Wenxi through the gaps in the crowd.

Wearing high heels and a professional suit, she stood in the drizzle, like a white swan falling into the water, and became the only focus in Zhou Wang's small world.

I didn't expect it to rain...

Zhou Wang looked up at the gloomy sky. Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, so getting wet was not a big deal.

Just when Zhou Wang was about to take a step, Miao Ying had already crawled out of the Ferrari 812C from behind, then trotted over, opened the black straight umbrella in her hand, and held it above Zhou Wang's head.

"Sister Qingkui gave it to me when we separated at noon, saying it might rain today..."

Facing Zhou Wang's surprised look, Miao Ying explained in a low voice.

I mean, I didn't remember putting an umbrella in my Ferrari 812C...

Zhou Wang nodded, secretly praising Jiang Qingkui's attentiveness, and walked forward.

Bang bang bang!
At this time, most of the supercars had stopped. With the sounds of various car doors opening and closing, Zhang Zhiyuan and others got out of the cars one after another. They had no umbrellas to use, but they didn't care. They just came over silently and walked forward behind Zhou Wang.

There was no communication. After all, they were just there to support the occasion (join in the fun), and all they had to do was watch what Zhou Wang did.

But in this way, the scene becomes extremely oppressive——

Against the backdrop of colorful supercars that are more expensive than the last, a group of silent young people are walking forward, surrounding a young man who is followed by a beautiful girl holding an umbrella.

Everyone had an extraordinary demeanor, especially the young man under the umbrella in the front, who walked forward with large strides, casual yet steady.

The onlookers who were still blocking the gate were all a little scared and unconsciously made way for them, allowing this group of people to walk into the gate of the old community smoothly.

By the flower bed, the crowd flowing to both sides completely exposed the somewhat overwhelmed Cheng Zhe family and Xu Wenxi family to Zhou Wang's sight.

Zhang Zhiyuan and the others stopped when they got closer, but Zhou Wang did not stop. Following Miao Ying, he walked to Xu Wenxi, who was still standing there in a daze, with a clear goal in mind.

Zhou Wang reached out to wipe the tears from Xu Wenxi's face, but found that the more he wiped, the more tears appeared...

"Stop crying."

Zhou Wang had no choice but to raise his eyebrows and give the order.

"Oh... Boss, I'm sorry... You, I..."

Xu Wenxi responded and tried hard to stop her tears, but she still couldn't utter any complete words.

Zhou Wang shook his head, simply stretched out his hand and hugged Xu Wenxi in his arms.

"Forget it, cry if you want to... I'm here, and everything will be fine."

Zhou Wang said softly.

"Woooo..."

Xu Wenxi finally relaxed. She hugged Zhou Wang tightly, buried her head in Zhou Wang's arms, and burst into tears.

At this moment, she was no longer the cautious assistant who was afraid of messing up everything, but just a little girl who had suffered a lot of grievances but finally found someone to rely on.

Zhou Wang let her cry for a while. When her shoulders stopped shaking, he let her go and moved away. Zhou Wang looked at her white shirt that was wet by the rain, then took off his coat and put it on her.

"Boss, I...I don't want to cause you any trouble. I, I just didn't expect..."

At this time, Xu Wenxi had regained some of her sanity. She was worried and anxious, and couldn't help but open her mouth to explain.

"Let's not talk about this now. Although I will definitely punish you, let's solve the other problems first."

Zhou Wang whispered something in her ear, and before Xu Wenxi could make any connections, he asked, "What's going on? Tell me about it..."

Xu Wenxi responded and wanted to explain to Zhou Wang, but her mind was obviously still a little confused and her words were incoherent. Zhou Wang frowned after listening to a few words.

"Forget it, stop talking."

Zhou Wang looked around, stopped Xu Wenxi who was still explaining, and walked directly to the edge of the crowd.

There was a boy who looked like a high school student who was holding a cell phone. When he saw Zhou Wang coming, he subconsciously wanted to step back.

"Brother, did you record the previous part? Let me see it."

"oh oh……"

The high school student opened the photo album and handed the phone to Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang found the previous video, clicked it, and started watching it silently.

"Xu Wenxi, you finally showed up..."

The boy obviously arrived at the battlefield very early. The video was very complete and the angle was clear. Zhou Wang could clearly hear every word of the conversation.

"Sir, are you Xu Wenxi's boss? I..."

When Zhou Wang was watching the video, Cheng Zhe's family finally reacted, but most people still didn't know how to react.

The sight of so many supercars and a bunch of young people nearby was really scary. Liu Fang didn't dare to say anything. Although Cheng Long was a little nervous, he still walked over and wanted to talk to Zhou Wang.

"Don't make any noise, wait till I finish reading."

Zhou Wang didn't look up, but just frowned and replied.

Cheng Long had to hold back the speech he had prepared with great difficulty. He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. He did not dare to interrupt Zhou Wang, so he could only wait on the side.

Although the onlookers couldn't help but talk, their voices unconsciously became much quieter, as if they were afraid of disturbing Zhou Wang who was watching the video.

Zhou Wang, oblivious to the people around him, fast-forwarded through the entire video after a moment. His expression did not change much. He simply returned the phone to the boy and asked Miao Ying, who was standing beside him:
"Do you have cash?"

"I brought it. It was given to me by Sister Qingkui..."

"Give him a thousand dollars."

Zhou Wang pointed at the boy and then nodded to him: "Thank you."

Miao Ying responded, took out a large wad of cash from her Nike waist bag, then counted out a thousand yuan and handed it to the boy.

The boy took it with surprise, while many people around him were annoyed. Just providing a video was worth a thousand yuan. If they had known this, they should have rushed to hand over the phone...

After all, it was not just the boy who recorded the video on the spot.

Perhaps because Zhou Wang's attitude was very kind, the boy couldn't help but ask, "Brother, is that the legendary McLaren P1?"

"Yes." Zhou Wang nodded.

"Does this car really cost 20 million?"

The boy's breathing became heavier, his face full of curiosity and excitement.

"It's not that expensive. I spent more than 10 million, and that's still a bit too expensive."

Zhou Wang smiled and said, then patted the boy on the shoulder, "Don't record it from now on. If you are interested, you can go take pictures of the car."

As he spoke, Zhou Wang glanced around. Zhang Zhiyuan and others understood what he meant and began to stop the people around them from continuing to record the video.

At this time, the bystanders no longer cared about being dissatisfied. As they put away their mobile phones, they were shocked in their hearts.

More than 10 million?
They were just discussing it, some young people said those cars cost millions, they couldn't imagine but couldn't stop being shocked, now they found out...

They were shocked too early.

It’s more than just millions!
More than 50 million yuan means that you can buy a whole building in Yi County, or buy shops of square meters, and pass it down to your grandchildren...

This is an astronomical figure that they can hardly imagine.

Cheng Long, who was standing by, was also startled. He turned around and glared at Cheng Zhe.

According to Cheng Zhe's description, they always thought that Xu Wenxi's "adulterer" might be a boss with some money, but driving a car worth more than 10 million yuan is a completely different concept.

Facing such a person, Cheng Long was a little scared.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I am Cheng Zhe's father, Cheng Long, the head of the logistics department of Yixian Fanhua Horticulture Company..."

"Don't smile at me, your smile is so disgusting."

When Cheng Long forced a smile to greet Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang interrupted him calmly, "Come on, let's get straight to the point."

"you……"

Being humiliated by Zhou Wang like this, Cheng Long's face turned blue and red, but he endured it.

"Mr. Zhou, you should understand what we just said after watching the video. Our intention is very simple. Since Xu Wenxi doesn't want to be with Cheng Zhe, it is reasonable for her to compensate our family for the losses, right?"

"It's a flat price of 500,000, and then the house with the down payment will belong to you, and we will never bother Xu Wenxi again..."

After Cheng Long got over his initial surprise, he finally figured it out.

No matter how rich Zhou Wang is, he is still from Mingcheng, and has nothing to do with their Yi County, so he has nothing to be afraid of.

It’s better to have money, maybe you can ask for more…

"I admire you a lot."

After hearing what Cheng Long said, Zhou Wang laughed, "I'm standing in front of you, and you still have the courage to say such words to me."

"Why don't we dare?"

After Cheng Zhe's mother Liu Fang came to her senses, she also plucked up the courage to speak loudly: "It's okay for you to be rich, but you can't be unreasonable. We just want to recover our losses. Besides, it was obviously Xu Wenxi who stole the man..."

"Even though you're spewing shit, at least you're right about one thing."

Zhou Wang said calmly: "I'm really not here to reason with you, and you are not worthy... Cheng Qing?"

Zhou Wang, who had already made a decision after watching the video, turned around and shouted.

"Hey, I'm here!"

Cheng Qing, who had been waiting for a long time, came out from behind Zhang Zhiyuan and others and walked over with a smile.

The moment he saw Cheng Qing, Cheng Long was a little confused, because he felt that Cheng Qing looked familiar, while Cheng Zhe's cousin's face changed immediately.

"Brother Gou, what do you want me to do?"

Cheng Qing came over and asked Zhou Wang with a smile.

"do you know it?"

Zhou Wang pointed directly at Cheng Long, the only person who looked decent among the group, and asked, "Or, is there any way to get to know him?"

"Hahaha, Brother Gou, you really asked the right person."

Cheng Qing smiled and looked at Cheng Long, "Hey, you are from Fanhua Gardening Company, right? Do you know Cheng Jingrong?"

"Are you talking about our Chairman Cheng?"

Cheng Long was stunned and asked cautiously. "Yes, it's your chairman. Oh, I forgot to tell you... He's also my fourth uncle, a relative."

"W-what...the chairman is your fourth uncle?"

When Cheng Long was a little flustered, Cheng Zhe's cousin came over from behind.

"Uncle San, he is Cheng Qing, Cheng Qing!"

Seeing that Cheng Long hadn't reacted yet, Cheng Zhe's cousin could only add anxiously, "Cheng Jingtian's son!"

Upon hearing the name "Cheng Jingtian", Cheng Long finally woke up from his dream. If Cheng Long was just panicked when he heard about the relationship between Cheng Jingrong and Cheng Qing just now, he was terrified at this moment.

Cheng Jingtian is very famous in Yi County and is a local star entrepreneur. Many people think he is the richest man in Yi County.

At the same time, he was also one of the most prominent figures in the Cheng family of Yi County and had a very high reputation locally.

His story of making a fortune is full of legends. He has worked in almost most down-to-earth industries. There were rumors in the past that... I can’t tell you about this part.

In short, Cheng Long felt his eyes go dark at this moment. Living in Yi County and offending such a person was like the sky falling.

"Wow, you look familiar to me. You must be the foreman of my family's construction company. Have you ever sent gifts to my family before?"

When Cheng Zhe's cousin jumped out, Cheng Qing thought about it for a while and remembered something. He pointed at Cheng Zhe's cousin and said:

"So this scumbag Cheng Zhe is your younger brother, right?"

During the short stop at the service area, Zhou Wang briefly told them what had happened.

It cannot be said that these second-generation people have a strong sense of justice, but anyway, Zhou Wang’s “enemies” are their “enemies”, and everyone shows great anger.

Cheng Qing told Zhou Wang at that time that since their surname was Cheng and they lived in Yi County, there was nothing that could not be cured. At this time, he was ready to fulfill his boasting in front of Brother Gou.

He took out his cell phone and made a call. While waiting for the call to be connected, he pointed at Cheng Long:

"You don't have to go to work tomorrow."

Before Cheng Long could react, the call was connected.

"Hello, Fifth Brother, it's me. Hahaha, you're in charge of the personnel affairs of Fanhua Company, right? There's a guy named Cheng Long... Well, his family doesn't have anything to do with personnel affairs, so just fire him... I'm going back to Yi County, and I'll tell you in detail when I get home. Don't worry, it's definitely not a joke..."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Long pointed at Cheng Zhe's cousin again.

"You don't have to work anymore. Go to the company tomorrow to settle the outstanding debts, and then get out!"

He still needs to make a phone call to deal with the affairs of Fanhua Company, but he can make the decision with just one word for a small contractor under his own construction company.

His father originally wanted to hand over the construction company to him.

"Brother Gou, look at what else needs to be done... Oh, by the way, as for these people, wait for me to find out more. As long as I can reach them, I will take them one by one. They won't have to work anymore!"

Cheng Qing pointed at Cheng Zhe's relatives and friends, still smiling, but the words he said made many people feel as if they were falling into an ice cave.

How is it possible not to get it?
Most of them have the surname Cheng. Even if they don't work for Cheng Qing's company, it makes no difference given Cheng Qing's family's connections in all walks of life and their status in the Cheng clan.

This is the "Brahmin" of the county town.

What opened Zhou Wang's eyes was that this was not the end. Cheng Qing smiled and said to him:

"Brother Gou, don't worry. Dismissal is just the most basic thing. I will have someone check their accounts carefully to see if they have done anything dishonest or violated company regulations..."

If Cheng Long and Cheng Zhe's cousin could still remain calm just now, or had no time to react, then at this moment, the two of them were completely panicked.

"No, no... Cheng, Mr. Cheng, no, Mr. Cheng... this..."

Cheng Long was trembling and wanted to beg for mercy, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Cheng Zhe's cousin was also confused and had no idea what to do.

He just came to help his cousin and did nothing else. How could he lose his livelihood?

Not only that, how many people working on the project have been investigated? Maybe they will be imprisoned. No, that's not right. If Cheng Qing really wants to kill him, he will definitely be imprisoned...

At this moment, Cheng Zhe's mother Liu Fang suddenly rushed over, sat on the ground and started crying, "Oh my God, someone is murdering someone, how are we going to live in the future? Come and see, the rich are bullying us ordinary people..."

"Stop shouting. I think the police will be here soon. Someone will help you get 'justice'. By the way, I can sue you for extortion and defamation."

Zhou Wang glanced at her and said unmoved.

Liu Fang's mother was stunned and speechless. At this moment, Cheng Long finally remembered something. He turned around and shouted:

"Cheng Zhe, what are you still doing hiding there? Come over here and apologize to President Zhou!"

"That's right, Cheng Zhe, what kind of man are you if you hide behind at this moment? Go and apologize quickly..."

Cheng Zhe's cousin's wife also cursed and tried to pull Cheng Zhe away.

The relatives and friends around him also started to make noise, and the eyes they looked at Cheng Zhe's family were full of hatred.

If it weren't for Cheng Zhe, how could they appear here again and offend Cheng Jingtian's son...

Cheng Zhe also knew that the matter had become serious, and he was forced to come out. He had clearly cursed Zhou Wang countless times behind his back, but when he finally saw the "Mr. Zhou" mentioned by Xu Wenxi with his own eyes, Cheng Zhe was scared...

He didn't even dare to look Zhou Wang in the eye. He just blushed and stammered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, it's all my fault..."

"Son, why are you still standing there? Why don't you kneel down and ask for Mr. Zhou's forgiveness? Your father will lose his job!"

Liu Fang, anxiously watching, reached out to pull Cheng Zhe.

kneel?

Cheng Zhe's brain was buzzing with panic, and he was unwilling to do it, but he knew that Liu Fang was not exaggerating, and his father, who had always been strong, was looking at him with some pleading and hope...

Just when Cheng Zhe was about to kneel down by bending his knees, Zhou Wang stepped aside with a cold expression.

"No, I can't bear your gift... In modern society, don't do these things."

"Please go ahead, Xixi. Why are you still standing there?"

Cheng Long kicked Cheng Zhe and reminded him.

Cheng Zhe came to his senses and quickly looked at Xu Wenxi. However, when the target was Xu Wenxi, Cheng Zhe did not feel awkward at all. Amidst the exclamations of everyone, he knelt on the ground and crawled on his knees to pull Xu Wenxi.

"Wenxi, I am sorry for you... Please forgive me and my parents... I beg you, I really did such a stupid thing because I love you too much... I shouldn't have gone to PC, I shouldn't have lied to you, and I shouldn't have come here to make trouble..."

Facing the crying Cheng Zhe, Xu Wenxi's face was full of disgust. She hid behind Zhou Wang, but no matter how Cheng Zhe cried and shouted, she remained silent.

Zhou Wang looked at Cheng Zhe's ugly appearance and shook his head.

My assistant was blind before, how could he find such a bastard...

"Mr. Zhou, we really know we were wrong. We will return the money immediately. No, we will also pay compensation. Another 80,000 yuan will be used as compensation for Wenxi's loss of reputation. We shouldn't have spread rumors..."

While Cheng Zhe was crying, Cheng Long hurriedly bowed to Zhou Wang again, begging him to let him go.

Zhou Wang was having a headache because of the noise, but luckily, the police arrived at this time...

In fact, the traffic police had been alarmed since Zhou Wang and others entered the city. In addition, there had already been a gathering here, so the arrival of the police was reasonable, and there was no such thing as someone calling the police on purpose.

However, when everyone went back to the police station for questioning, Zhou Wang noticed that Cheng Qing also had acquaintances everywhere...

……

Everyone was taken away at 6:30 in the evening, and it was not until 9 o'clock in the evening, when the stars gradually appeared, that Zhou Wang, Cheng Qing and Xu Wenxi's family of three walked out of the blue and white building.

On the lawn, there were a number of luxury cars with a total value of over 100 million yuan parked, and Zhang Zhiyuan and others were leaning against the cars, smoking, chatting, and waiting for Zhou Wang and others.

They just came to join in the fun and were released after a brief questioning. Only Zhou Wang and Cheng Qing, the parties involved, had to give a complete statement.

The final outcome of the matter was not complicated. After mediation, Cheng Zhe's family returned Xu Wenxi's 80,000 yuan for the house and apologized in person. At the same time, the neighborhood committee made an announcement in the community and posted a notice from the police station to restore Xu Wenxi's damaged reputation.

At the same time, all relatives and friends of Cheng Zhe's family who participated in the incident were detained for five to fifteen days on the charge of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" and fined between five hundred and one thousand yuan.

It is still a bit short of extortion, but defamation is enough. Whether it reaches the criminal standard still needs further determination, and it also depends on whether Xu Wenxi will sign a letter of understanding later.

These were the consequences that Cheng Zhe's family had to bear on the surface, but the suppression measures from Cheng Qing were what they could not bear...

It is foreseeable that even if Cheng Zhe and his family escaped real imprisonment, they would probably have to move to another place to live.

Given the age of Cheng Zhe's parents, after losing their jobs (Cheng Zhe's mother worked as a cleaner at Fanhua Company), they can only rely on Cheng Zhe for support.

Just like Xu Wenxi joked in a state of neither sadness nor joy: "From now on, he will really only have 3800 left..."

After leaving the door, Cheng Qing and Zhou Wang gestured and went to Zhang Zhiyuan and others first, leaving the space for Zhou Wang and Xu Wenxi's family of three.

"Um, Mr. Zhou..."

Xu Wenxi's father Xu Baosheng hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something.

"Dad, Mom, you guys go back first."

Xu Wenxi interrupted him in time and said with a firm look on her face.

"Uncle, Auntie, listen to Xixi and go back to rest first. You must be tired after working so hard for so long."

Zhou Wang knew the doubts in his mind, so he smiled and said, "I probably won't leave Yi County tonight. I will visit you again at noon tomorrow."

Hearing that Zhou Wang was not leaving, Xu Baosheng immediately felt relieved and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then... her mother and I will go back first, you guys do your thing."

Although she knew that her father didn't mean that, Xu Wenxi still blushed when he said, "You guys do your thing."

After her parents walked away, looking back every few steps, Xu Wenxi hurriedly said to Zhou Wang: "Boss, you don't have to come in person..."

"Some things have to be said openly, and you have to reassure your parents, right? After all, if nothing unexpected happens, you'll be working with me for a long time..."

Zhou Wang blinked at Xu Wenxi and interrupted her directly.

When Xu Wenxi was too shy to speak, Zhou Wang didn't say anything more. He took her hand and walked towards Zhang Zhiyuan and others.

"Fuck, Brother Gou, I'm really hungry, what can I say!"

Seeing Zhou Wang and Xu Wenxi coming, Tang Yiming spoke loudly first.

"My breasts are shrinking due to hunger, Brother Gou, if you don't feed me, you will be responsible~"

A female car owner also said coquettishly.

"How can I be responsible and help you raise him?"

The other female car owner started speaking in a venomous and vicious manner.

"Stop it, don't you see there's someone next to Brother Gou?"

"Then I'll ask them if they mind sleeping with you at night..."

"Go to hell!"

While everyone was having fun, Zhou Wang also laughed and bowed, saying:
"I really want to thank all my brothers and sisters today. Without further ado, let alone a roast duck dinner tonight, I will take care of any activities you can think of!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go. I was the one who suffered heavy bleeding today, but now it seems someone has paid for me. Hahahaha..."

Zhang Zhiyuan laughed.

"Let's go, have fun today, and don't go home until we're drunk!"

Zhou Wang waved his hand and set the main theme for tonight.

"You won't come home until you're drunk!"

Everyone shouted and opened the car door.
