Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 183 Them
Zhou Wang returned to 7001 of the Spring Eye sub-tower accompanied by Chen Mei. Sure enough, there were already four people waiting in the outdoor garden.

Two Chinese and two foreigners.

One of the Chinese was Lin Dong, an Hermès sales representative whom Zhou Wang had met before. His English name was Lincoln, and he was also the only male among the luxury goods sales representatives Zhou Wang knew.

His position at Hermès was not just a salesperson. In fact, Zhou Wang felt that it would be more appropriate to call him a public relations manager. Moreover, his conversation and temperament were the best among all the salespeople Zhou Wang had ever seen.

Because the "tools" prepared by the system for Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenxi were all handled by Lin Dong. Jiang Qingkui had dealt with him before. She told Zhou Wang during their last chat...

Lin Dong’s biological sister is the assistant to the CEO of Hermès Greater China, who is currently based in Shanghai.

With Hermès's not-so-complicated direct management structure, although Lin Dong's sister is nominally an assistant, her actual authority is that of a senior executive. Zhou Wang finally understood after hearing this.

In a sense, Lin Dong in front of us can be regarded as a "second generation" who has been sent down to gain experience. It is estimated that he will rotate through all the grassroots positions, but the other party will inevitably move to a higher position in the future.

"Mr. Zhou, you're back!"

Seeing Zhou Wang, Lin Dong immediately walked over enthusiastically and shook hands with Zhou Wang.

Lin Dong originally wanted to befriend Zhou Wang only because he valued his spending potential, until one day, his sister called him and mentioned Zhou Wang's name. His sister called him because she saw Zhou Wang's name on the internal list of Hermès...

In short, after all these causes and effects, Zhou Wang's status in Lin Dong's heart has skyrocketed. Otherwise, Jiang Qingkui had only contacted him the day before yesterday, so theoretically it would be impossible for him to coordinate everything within two days.

Mr. Gabriel, a master of handmade suits from France, is a senior tailor with a high status in Hermès.

Hermès has more than 4000 craftsmen in total, and he is definitely one of the best among them.

Mr. Gabriel was even in Paris the night before. He took a flight of more than ten hours to reach Beidu yesterday, and then flew from Beidu to Mingcheng without stopping. He just landed at midnight yesterday...

"Mr. Gabriel, hello, hello..."

Zhou Wang originally thought that he might need a translator since his spoken English was a bit poor. However, he did not expect that the master tailor spoke fluent Mandarin.

"Mr. Zhou, I'm glad to see you. You are really a handsome man with a plain appearance!"

"Fuck, your Chinese is so good?"

Zhou Wang was startled for a moment, "But I guess what you meant is handsome appearance..."

"Mr. Gabriel has been traveling to China frequently for more than a decade. There are many clients here that he has served. For this reason, Mr. Gabriel has specially learned Chinese."

Lin Dong explained with a smile.

"Yes, I like China very much. It is my second home."

Gabriel said with a smile. This sentence was very clear and it seemed that he said it often...

After the greetings, Lin Dong asked the assistant behind him to bring over two boxes.

"Mr. Zhou, based on the size information you left at Hermès and the occasions you are looking for, I have selected a few sets of high-end ready-to-wear clothes for you. You can rest assured that although they are ready-to-wear clothes, they have only participated in one spring fashion show and are not yet officially on the market..."

"After the tailor has measured your data, Mr. Gabriel will modify some details for you in the shortest possible time to ensure that they fit as well as possible..."

"With Hermès' pursuit of excellence, even a custom-made suit jacket requires at least 200 hours of hand-sewing, so it is too late to fully customize it..."

"Do you think this plan is acceptable to you?"

After listening to Lin Dong's explanation, Zhou Wang was about to speak when the elevator opened and another group of people came into the garden accompanied by another property staff member.

There were also four people in this group dressed in formal attire, but only one woman was Chinese, and the other three were also foreigners.

What surprised Zhou Wang was that the tailor from Hermes obviously knew one of the foreigners, and after being stunned, he greeted the other party.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I'm Mina, the brand representative of Kiton. I'm here today because the two suits you ordered have been customized under our expedited work. However, we are missing some detailed data, so we need to ask the tailor to make them for you..."

"wait!"

Zhou Wang interrupted her in confusion, "If my memory serves me correctly, I don't think I've ever ordered a suit from you, right?"

"About this, maybe you will understand after reading this greeting card..."

Mina wasn't surprised, she just smiled and handed over a card with a butterfly string.

Zhou Wang opened the card and saw a line of beautiful glowing words:
"Happy Valentine's Day, my white moonlight! (I'm not sure about the timing, it might be two days late)"

Ding Yi……

Even though there was no signature, Zhou Wang understood it when he saw the three words "Bai Yueguang".

After he had a showdown with Ding Yi over Jiang Mo's incident last time, the contact between the two had become less and less frequent, and they no longer communicated almost every day like they did in the previous period.

But now that I think about it carefully, it seems that Zhou Wang himself was deliberately reducing his contact with Ding Yi.

After all, in his subconscious, he didn't think that after knowing part of his "true face", Ding Yi would still be willing to have any long-term development with him...

If Zhou Wang hadn’t seen Ding Yi’s gift the day before yesterday, he would have thought that the two of them had reached a tacit understanding and would just be simple friends from now on.

It seems that I thought it was too simple.

"When did you place the order for these two sets of clothes?" Zhou Wang came back to his senses and asked.

"The order arrived from Italy sixteen days ago."

Mina replied quickly.

Half a month ago, that was the last time the two of them met, which was at the Dianwang Club...

At that time, was Ding Yi already planning to give himself a Qixi Festival gift?
The key is that she actually foresaw what she needed, and took into full consideration the upcoming Wuyou Night this month...

This foresight, at least Zhou Wang can't compare to it...

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been forced to choose only Hermès semi-ready-to-wear clothes at this moment, and he wouldn't have been tricked by the brand called Brioni.

"How much do these two suits cost?"

Kiton's two haute couture suits were pushed up directly on movable hangers. Zhou Wang asked as his fingers gently brushed over the two suits that looked very high-end.

"The total price is 350 million RMB." Mina replied with an unchanged smile.

350……

Zhou Wang was slightly surprised again.

The average price of a unit is more than 1.7 million, which is already outrageous even for high-end custom-made products.

Zhou Wang instantly realized that this brand he had never heard of must be very awesome.

After talking with Mina for a while, Zhou Wang learned that this brand called Kiton is recognized by many people as the "king of men's clothing" in the custom track.

It is at the same level as Briony, which "rejected" Zhou Wang. Both are top-tier brands, but it ranks above Briony, or is the leader with less controversy.

Wall Street financial tycoons, presidents of many countries, and even the "Godfather" in the movie all wear this brand.

There are Kiton counters in some first- and second-tier cities in China, but since the ready-to-wear styles they sell are relatively old, they are not very well-known.

From Lin Dong's complicated expression, Zhou Wang knew that Mina was not bragging.

……

After an hour of struggle, Zhou Wang asked Chen Mei to send away the people from the two brands.

The process is pretty much the same: taking measurements, communicating, confirming the details of the changes, and then choosing the styles of buttons and tie.

The two senior tailors who came from other countries will work overnight after they return. If nothing goes wrong, the finished clothes can be delivered again the next day.

Zhou Wang didn't know how Ding Yi knew his physical data. It was probably all hidden in those seemingly daily exchanges. Mina said that the data they received was a 3D model, which showed how much Ding Yi cared about this matter...

Because of this, Kiton's clothes fit surprisingly well and not many alterations were needed.

Originally, Zhou Wang already had Kiton's couture gown, so he didn't need the semi-ready-made clothes provided by Hermès. But after having invited them to his door, it seemed inappropriate to suddenly not want them...

Especially Mr. Gabriel, who flew here for nearly 20 hours...

So even though he was already very poor, Zhou Wang still swiped his card with tears in his eyes and bought both sets of high-end ready-to-wear clothes.

Fortunately, they are custom-made based on ready-made clothes, so the total price of the two sets of ready-made clothes is only 86, which is much cheaper than Kiton.

Zhou Wang returned to the living room, picked up his mobile phone, and scrolled down for a long time before he found the chat box with Ding Yi.

The last time the two chatted was when the news came out that Zhou Wang had won the honor of "Top Ten Outstanding Young People in Jingcheng". Ding Yi sent him a congratulatory message, and Zhou Wang replied with a "thank you". Ding Yi sent another emoticon, and then the conversation ended.

The last time Ding Yi sent a "Happy Valentine's Day", Zhou Wang forgot to reply because he was entangled with his senior...

Zhou Wang hesitated for a moment before typing out a line of words:

"It's a gift I can't refuse. You are worthy of me..."

"Woman, you have successfully caught my attention.jpg"

"I'm sorry I didn't prepare a gift for you. I'll give it to you later."

……

"No need to send me off. The festival has passed. Let's talk about it later... Hehe, on the day of your company's celebration, remember to amaze everyone!"

"Pretty woman's affirmation.gif"

In Room 702, Building , Cuihu Yipin, Ding Yi replied to Zhou Wang's message, then put down his phone and shouted to Jiang Mo, who was still busy cutting fruit in the kitchen, with a smile:

"Senior Sister Jiang, there's really no need to bother you. I'll just sit for a while and then leave..."

Jiang Mo didn't reply. After a while, she came back with a plate of slightly messy fruit salad.

"I don't do this often... Junior Sister Ding, just bear with it."

Jiang Mo said softly, a little embarrassed.

"No, it still looks very appetizing~"

Ding Yi smiled, picked up a piece of strawberry and put it in his mouth, showing a satisfied expression.

Seeing this, Jiang Mo showed a rare smile on his cold face.

"Senior sister, your apartment is quite nice. The location is great and the area is just right... Was it given to you by Zhou Wang?"

Ding Yi stood up and looked around, then suddenly turned back and asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Jiang Mo pursed her lips and said, "I didn't know when he bought it..."

"He's so nice to you."

Ding Yi turned her head again. Jiang Mo couldn't see her expression, but could only hear her tone becoming a little erratic.

"Yeah, it's very good."

Jiang Mo, not knowing what to say, just nodded.

"Can I look around?"

Ding Yi said this as he walked along the corridor.

Jiang Mo was about to nod subconsciously, but she didn't know what she thought of, but she was suddenly startled. She stood up in a panic and caught up with Ding Yi before she walked into the master bedroom.

"The lighting is pretty good. Senior sister, your taste in decoration is also very good..."

Ding Yi didn't seem to notice Jiang Mo's nervousness. He just looked around and didn't turn the door of the master bedroom. He quickly turned around and walked back to the living room. It was only when Jiang Mo breathed a sigh of relief that Ding Yi glanced at the closed door of the master bedroom without leaving a trace, his eyes were a little complicated.

The two women, who both had top-notch looks but completely different temperaments, sat down on the sofa again. Ding Yi looked at Jiang Mo with concern:
"Senior sister, the reason I came to see you is because I heard from Professor Wang that you don't want to continue your postgraduate studies?"

"Um……"

"So what are you going to do in the future?"

"I...I don't know. I haven't thought about it yet."

Jiang Mo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I just don't want to study law anymore. I'm too stupid and I can't speak..."

"It's embarrassing if you're not good at communicating with people. Unless you're doing pure academic research, as long as you're in a law-related profession, you'll inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people..."

Ding Yi tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Senior sister, I remember you told me before that your dream a long time ago was to study at the Royal Academy of Music in London, right?"

"Well, it wasn't really a dream... At that time, I just thought it was good to learn music because it could help me speak."

Jiang Mo nodded slightly.

"Why not go now?"

Ding Yi chuckled.

"Now?"

Jiang Mo was obviously a little surprised, "But..."

"It's not too late now. You're only 24 years old. It's totally in time. Besides, you have such a good foundation. If everything goes well, you can finish all the courses in one or two years..."

Ding Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry about the formalities. I can help you with it."

Jiang Mo was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head, "Forget it."

"why?"

Ding Yi could see that Jiang Mo had some thoughts, but for some reason she restrained herself.

"Too far……"

Jiang Mo just said softly.

The living room fell silent, and Ding Yi and Jiang Mo did not speak for a while.

After an unknown amount of time, Ding Yi said with a smile, "You can also choose a school in China. The China Conservatory of Music is pretty good. I remember that its latest world ranking is very close to the top 50. I happen to know someone there..."

"Would it be too much trouble?"

Jiang Mo showed obvious excitement this time.

"No, I'll ask for you now."

Ding Yi blinked at Jiang Mo and said, "There may be a simple test. If it doesn't work, ask Zhou Wang to sponsor you. He has a lot of money anyway, so let's make a killing from him..."

……

"You are so good, Yu Duo. I finally have a little income, and you want to rip me off like this, right?"

Located on the edge of Mingcheng Second Ring Road, in Yue Center Apartment, two young and beautiful girls are playing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of Room 3308.

Shen Yutong took a look at the takeaway payment interface that Yu Duo handed over. The amount of more than 300 made her eyelids jump. She couldn't help but pinch Yu Duo's smooth waist exposed under her small suspenders.

"Hey, Sister Tongtong, you earned a huge sum of 6,000 yuan. What's wrong with being extravagant for once? Don't you want to eat delicious spicy crabs?"

Yu Duo lay on Shen Yutong's shoulder, her little hands always unable to resist wanting to grab Shen Yutong's big bear. After all, that perfect shape was not only coveted by boys...

Especially for Yu Duo, who has been flat since childhood, she feels extremely envious every time she sees it.

"I do want to... OK, OK, I'm staying at your house for free anyway, so I'll treat you to a good meal!"

Shen Yutong slapped Yu Duo's mischievous hand away and paid the bill with a pained heart, "But only this time."

"Stingy guy, I don't care anyway. I'm broke now, and you have to pay for my seven meals a day!"

Yu Duo chuckled and said, "Besides, you said you didn't have 6,000 to begin with. The extra money is just picked up money, so of course you have to spend it lavishly!"

"That's true, but I always feel that the money is a bit hot to handle. After all, I only went there once, so it should be only one or two thousand..."

Shen Yutong said a little nervously: "I even want to return the money."

Six thousand yuan was the part-time salary that Dianwang Club paid to Shen Yutong, but the fact was that she did jump only once, so Shen Yutong was not too relieved...

"Fool, how can you have such an idea?"

Yu Duo fiddled with her fingers and helped Shen Yutong analyze:

"Didn't you say that the boss of Dianwang Club is actually Zhou Wang? He's not a fool, so why would he pay you more? It must be because Zhou Wang specifically told him to do so...why don't you just treat this as a big red envelope Zhou Wang gave you?"

"But we are not related, so there is no need for him to give me a red envelope..."

"Are we really not related?"

Yu Duo narrowed her eyes and approached her with a serious look. "Then why did you call Zhou Wang's name in your dream last night? Tell me, how far have you progressed? Have you kissed?"

"Ah, I guess I didn't dream about him last night..."

Shen Yutong's face suddenly turned red.

Yu Duo, who was just joking, suddenly became suspicious because Shen Yutong only answered her first question...

Yu Duo, who knew the other person very well, asked in astonishment: "You...you really kissed Zhou Wang?!"

Unable to avoid it, Shen Yutong lowered her head shyly, then nodded slightly.

"You...how could you do this? Zhou Wang is...but he is Su Yajing's boyfriend!"

Yu Duo's mouth shrank and her eyes became a little red.

"Well, although, there's no need for you to feel so wronged for Ranran, right?"

Shen Yutong was a little confused, because Yu Duo seemed to be about to cry...

Yu Duo was about to reply when her cell phone started ringing. She didn't want to answer it, but because it kept ringing, she picked it up and took a look.

Then, Yu Duo was stunned.

"Duoduo, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Yu Duo suddenly freeze, Shen Yutong poked her in confusion.

Yu Duo turned her head in a daze, her eyes seemed to be looking at Shen Yutong, but they seemed to have lost focus.

"My brother just transferred five million to me..."

"Ah, that... isn't that a good thing?"

Shen Yutong was stunned by the figure of five million, and then asked in confusion: "You just happened to be out of money, but why do you look unhappy?"

"If it was fifty thousand, or even five hundred thousand, I would be very happy, but this is five million..."

Yu Duo murmured, "Although my brother is generous, it is impossible for him to give me so much money at once."

"Well, didn't you say your family hasn't given you pocket money for a long time? What if this is to make up for the previous money?"

Shen Yutong, who couldn't understand Yu Duo's thinking, could only guess this.

"But my brother also hinted that I could go out more often, or even go abroad... This clearly means that I should not go home recently."

As Yu Duo was talking, her eyes suddenly regained focus. She stood up abruptly and hurriedly went to put on her clothes.

"No, Tongtong, I have to go home. I...I'm a little panicked."

"Ah, you don't eat crabs anymore?"

"Don't eat..."

Yu Duo, who was putting on her shoes, suddenly stopped and turned around with a strange expression.

"Tongtong..."

"Ok?"

"I feel so sad all of a sudden... It's like, like the sadness of a broken heart..."

As Yu Duo spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes, and she cried with great grievance.

Before Shen Yutong could react, Yu Duo had already opened the door and ran away without looking back. Shen Yutong stood up at a loss, but her face was also full of confusion...

……

"Inexplicable..."

On the terrace on the 71st floor of Spring Eye, Zhou Wang, who had just finished lunch in the warm sunshine, glanced at his mobile phone, somewhat puzzled.

Little Yu Duo: "Bad guy, big bad guy!"

This was the message Yu Duo sent half an hour ago. After Zhou Wang sent a few question marks, Yu Duo never replied to him again.

Xiao Yuduo’s period is here?
Based on these five words without a beginning or an end, Zhou Wang could only guess this.

Putting down his phone, Zhou Wangchong waved to Xu Wenxi and Miao Ying who had been waiting on the side.

"Mr. Zhou, I've already driven the Mercedes-Benz AMG back and parked it in the garage. Here are the keys, temporary license plate, and the purchase contract."

Miao Ying first put a file bag on the table and reported to Zhou Wang.

"Row."

Zhou Wang put the file bag aside, planning to go back and deliver it to his senior sister along with the car.

Then Xu Wenxi also came forward to confirm with Zhou Wang: "Boss, the plane tickets have been booked. We will leave at noon the day after tomorrow and arrive in Hangzhou at 4:30 pm. Sister Qingkui will come to pick us up at the airport."

"OK."

Zhou Wang nodded and waved to the two women, "Please sit down."

Xu Wenxi and Miao Ying sat down as instructed, and Xu Wenxi took out two standard labor contracts.

Miao Ying's face showed a hint of excitement and nervousness. Xu Wenxi had already told her in advance that Zhou Wang was planning to make her a regular employee.

Although the treatment had been agreed upon before, whether it could meet her expectations would become clear at this moment.

As for Zhou Wang... he was actually more looking forward to it than Miao Ying.

After all, they were too "poor", so Zhou Wang placed all his hopes of recovering his health on "Miao Ying's wish."

I just hope she can be a little bolder. Zhou Wang doesn't ask for too much, just hope it's not less than Xu Wenxi's 10 million...

　I wrote too slowly today. I originally wanted to make up for the update I owed. I’m sorry everyone.

　　I will make it up in two days...
