Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 190 A Road of No Return (asking for monthly ticket)

"Mr. Zhang Shihao?"

Hua Suisui asked quickly.

"Is there another Mr. Zhang in our company?"

Wang Xiaoxiao spread his hands helplessly.

Hua Suisui stopped talking immediately. Although Endme was still a little angry, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

He is the CEO of Wuyou Media, a big shot who can shake the entire Hangzhou internet celebrity circle with just a stomp of his feet.

Although I heard that Wuyou Media is not wholly owned by the Zhang Group and there are other shareholders and consortium representatives behind it, at least on the surface, Zhang Shihao is the only one who has the final say in the company.

Not to mention Wang Xiaoxiao, even the company's top lady Lin Dantong probably wouldn't dare to disobey Mr. Zhang's orders.

After all, with Wuyou’s size in the MCN industry, the thing it has the most is the so-called “big internet celebrities”.

As long as Mr. Zhang is willing, he can always bring out another Li Xiaoxiao or Gao Xiaoxiao to replace her, Wang Xiaoxiao. It would just be a waste of time and traffic...

"But... there should be a lot of people from the company in Hangzhou these two days, why did they choose to find you?" Endme asked in confusion.

"My agent doesn't know either, but I guess... maybe they think that people like us who sing for money are relatively clean?"

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled sadly and said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe that distinguished guest is my 'fan'..."

Hua Suisui looked at Wang Xiaoxiao, who seemed like she was about to cry, and felt distressed but didn't know what to say.

Because of their close age, she could best understand Wang Xiaoxiao's helplessness.

Wang Xiaoxiao's past experience was also very bumpy. In his early years, he participated in a singing talent show and achieved good rankings. Unfortunately, he was hidden by the company and has been tepid. Seeing his youth slipping away, Wang Xiaoxiao, who had resigned himself to his fate, waited for the explosion of mobile Internet.

She caught the trend and quickly accumulated hundreds of thousands of fans. After signing with Wuyou, her career went smoothly and she achieved her current status as a famous internet singer.

So she cherishes everything in front of her.

Hua Suisui also knew another reason why Wang Xiaoxiao didn't want to offend Mr. Zhang, and that was the existence of another entertainment media subsidiary of the Zhang Group...

Wang Xiaoxiao’s path in the internet celebrity circle has almost reached its end. Now all she needs is an opportunity to truly enter the entertainment industry.

Although the difference between an internet celebrity singer and a singer is just two characters, and they often interact with each other online, the difference is still essential...

You say you are an internet celebrity. No matter how popular you are, there will always be people who think you are just a more sophisticated "internet beggar." But if you are a singer, it seems that you can put on a layer of artistic cloak, and the level is completely different.

So Hua Suisui knew Wang Xiaoxiao’s inner struggle.

She might be resisting, but she might also have accepted her fate...

In their circle, this kind of thing is not uncommon. Some internet celebrities even wish for more such opportunities and regard it as a shortcut to advancement.

But it just so happens that the three girls in this room are among the few who keep themselves clean, otherwise they would not have become best friends.

But unlike Endme who can be considered as a post-00s generation, Hua Suisui and Wang Xiaoxiao’s age no longer allows them to be willful.

Hua Suisui is more confident than Wang Xiaoxiao when facing this kind of thing.

After all, even if she quits, she can just quit the industry and find a man who is pleasing to the eye and capable to marry...

In fact, this is what she is doing now.

But Wang Xiaoxiao still has the ambition to show off her singing skills and perform on a bigger stage, which means that she has almost no escape route for herself.

"Xiao Xiao, I think you don't need to think too badly about it now. What if it's not the 'hidden rule' you think it is?"

Hua Suisui thought for a moment and comforted her, "My agent, Sister Lin Ran, has also told me about some similar examples. Not every client comes for that kind of thing. They just want to have a meal and chat with you, take a photo with you, and so on. This kind of situation also exists..."

"What kind of special case is that?"

Wang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and then said, "Actually, I was wondering if you two could accompany me. That way, even if the guest has any ideas, he would be more or less cautious..."

"I think this is a solution. After all, we live in a society ruled by law. If it doesn't work out, we can just withdraw with you. We have the contract anyway, and Mr. Zhang can't do anything to you..."

Endme nodded immediately. "Sui Sui, what do you think?"

Hua Suisui looked at Endme with a helpless look, and wanted to say, Xixi, why are you still so naive?

If you go with Xiaoxiao, aren't you afraid of getting yourself involved?
But considering Endme's age and experience, it's normal for her to think this way...

After all, Endme has hardly encountered any setbacks in her life. When she was in college, she was a famous pure campus beauty on the Internet. She had accumulated a lot of fans before graduation. Now she has a boyfriend who is very happy with her. She also proposed to terminate the contract with the previous company when she was unhappy...

Compared to herself and Xiaoxiao, she does have some capital to be naive.

"I might……"

Hua Suisui shook her head and was about to refuse.

If there was nothing else, she would be happy to help Wang Xiaoxiao, but unfortunately, Zhou Wang came to Hangzhou.

Judging from Zhou Wang’s tone, it was clear that he wanted to ask her out.

After waiting for so long, Zhou Wang is the only boy who caught her eye, and she doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

Ding Dong!

Just at this moment, Hua Suisui's cell phone rang again. She quickly picked it up and looked at it, then exclaimed "Ah".

"what happened?"

Wang Xiaoxiao and Endme looked over in confusion.

"Um...Xiaoxiao, let me see the chat history between you and your agent again."

Hua Suisui didn't have time to explain, she just took Wang Xiaoxiao's phone and took another look at it, "Is it really... such a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence, what are you talking about?"

Endme asked blankly.

"Well, it's like this... I have a very important friend who happened to invite me to dinner tonight. The place he arranged to meet me is the same place Xiaoxiao is going to, which is the Sands Hall of the Four Seasons Hotel at West Lake."

Hua Suisui did not hide anything and directly hugged Wang Xiaoxiao and said with a smile: "So we can go together. If anything happens, I can still take care of you!"

……

"Mr. Zhou, the care is over. Please rate my service. If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell me."

In the SPA room of the Four Seasons Hotel West Lake, which was lit with high-end aromatherapy, Zhou Wang opened his eyes from his drowsiness when he heard the gentle voice of technician No. 88 in the spa center.

He waved his hand to indicate that he understood. After the technician put down a form, he bowed and left the room, leaving silence to Zhou Wang.

Yes, Zhou Wang came to have another SPA...

Logically speaking, he had just done it before leaving Mingcheng in the morning, so he shouldn't be here at this time, but there was no way, since Xu Wenxi and Jiang Qingkui left first.

Because dinner was not until 7:30, Zhou Wang, who was really bored, could not resist Xiao An's suggestion, so he once again sinfully walked into the spa at the Four Seasons Hotel West Lake...

If it was an ordinary SPA center, Zhou Wang would have just endured it, but the spa at Four Seasons Hotel West Lake is really something.

According to Xiao An's introduction, the hotel is famous in Hangzhou for two things besides its accommodation environment.

One of them is the special spa, and it is not something I brag about, it has an honorary certification——

The Spa at Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou at West Lake has won the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Spa and SPA China Award for seven consecutive years.

Zhou Wang was surprised when he saw the two signs on the wall. It was okay to have the Forbes certification, but the spa actually had the China Award, which really opened Zhou Wang's eyes.

With an award-winning spa just around the corner, he obviously couldn't resist the temptation.

After all, massage is really addictive, and Zhou Wang is quite addicted now...

He felt that he had also embarked on the path of no return of "Emperor Yuhuang".

The West Lake Four Seasons Spa has five special programs, such as aromatherapy bath, beauty rejuvenation, salon gathering and so on. Zhou Wang chose a classic "Royal Spa" to experience.

After the experience, he felt that he should try all five projects if he had time...

It is indeed very distinctive.

The first thing you get is a "Longjing Emerald Spring Tea Bath", where you take a bath in tea brewed with Longjing tea. The massage oil Zhou Wang chose is also from the Longjing series, which is equivalent to a complete "Longjing SPA".

The treatments used are all luxury brands such as Hibomi, Ripofil and Baoliyancui. The environment is also good, with a ground-floor soaking pool. However, the color of the lighting makes it easy to fall asleep...

The Jiangnan technician's technique was unique, as if he was not just talking, but even his massage fingers were gentle, which made Zhou Wang quite enjoyable. The price was not too expensive among high-end spas, with a single item costing more than 1,000 yuan. As for the basic items Zhou Wang consumed, they were already included in the room rate, so he didn't have to pay extra.

After taking a short nap in the room, Zhou Wang opened his eyes and picked up his phone. Only then did he realize that he had missed several calls.

When enjoying himself, Zhou Wang likes to turn on the mute mode to avoid disturbing his interest.

The number was from Hangzhou, with the last digit "6868", which was exactly the phone number of Mr. Zhang's second uncle that Zhou Wang had saved before, so Zhou Wang quickly called back.

"Hahaha, it's Zhou Wang, your new number is awesome, no wonder I couldn't get through..."

As soon as the phone was picked up, a loud laugh came from the other end. Although the tone of the voice was rather bold, it was still quite elegant.

With a rough idea of ​​Zhang Shihao in his mind, Zhou Wang explained with a smile: "Second Uncle, I have actually added your number to the whitelist. I didn't answer it just now because I was having a massage..."

"Oh, no wonder, it must be the spa at the Four Seasons Hotel, the massage there is pretty good..."

Zhang Shihao understood and said with a smile: "But you don't have to treat me as a junior. After all, you are also a shareholder. If you think highly of me, just call me Second Brother!"

Ok?
Doesn’t that mean Young Master Zhang is also my nephew?

How does this make...

"Okay, second brother!"

Zhou Wang agreed immediately.

"I'm sorry, brother. I have a very important social event today, which is related to the Wuyou Night the day after tomorrow. I really can't leave, so I can only let Biaozi pick you up on my behalf... I originally said that I would rush back to have dinner with you in the evening and help you welcome, but now it seems that I don't have time."

Zhang Shihao quickly explained to Zhou Wang with some apology.

"I understand. It will be the same when we meet at the company tomorrow."

Zhou Wang smiled.

"Although I'm busy, I still have to be polite, brother. I've arranged for someone to accompany you for a simple meal. I hope it will add some flavor to your meal..."

Zhang Shihao changed the subject and spoke with some mystery.

"Oh?" Zhou Wang was startled. "Second brother means..."

"Hahaha, the so-called special person is of course a beautiful woman!"

Zhang Shihao laughed at this time and said, "I also specifically asked Zhiyuan about your preferences. You should be satisfied..."

"Uh, second brother, there's no need for us to do this, right?"

Zhou Wang understood it immediately and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He was just about to say that he had already made an appointment, but Zhang Shihao spoke first:
"Youth is a waste if you don't indulge in romance. Besides, you are also a shareholder of the company, so you should know more about the artists under the company. Besides, she should be on her way at this point. Just wait for her in the Sands Hall."

"Can I ask who it is?"

Zhou Wang couldn't refuse after hearing this. He thought that since the person Zhang Shihao called was also an internet celebrity from Wuyou, he might know Hua Suisui, so he could only turn around and ask.

"You'll know when you see it, brother."

Zhang Shihao kept it a secret, "This artist has participated in very few public relations and social events, and she is not a flirtatious person. You young people prefer pure ones, I understand, hahahaha... Of course, if you don't feel anything for her, you can just let her go."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wang shook his head. It was said that this Uncle Zhang was already over fifty years old, but he didn't expect that his style was quite fashionable...

But after all, he is in charge of the industry's top MCN company, and he probably deals mostly with young people, which is understandable.

Although there are many Wuyou internet celebrities, Zhou Wang certainly doesn't like all of them. He is really curious about who Zhang Shihao called.

If we hit it off, there's nothing wrong with having a meal together.

Of course, if you don't like her, just let her go, as Zhang Shihao said.

Zhou Wang doesn't have any psychological burden.

……

At 7:25 in the evening, a Mercedes-Benz business nanny car slowly stopped in front of the Four Seasons Hotel at West Lake in Hangzhou.

The car door opened, and under the astonished gazes of some passers-by, Hua Suisui, Endme and Wang Xiaoxiao, who were carefully dressed up, got out from the back seat of the business car.

Many modern girls have a "disease" that makes them unable to go out without makeup.

As big internet celebrities, the three girls are obviously more seriously ill——

They are still lucky, after all, they are really beautiful and are not afraid of being exposed to the light. Otherwise, makeup alone is not enough and they may have to wear a mask.

Wang Xiaoxiao, wearing a white halter dress with her sexy figure faintly visible, looked at the time and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was not yet 7:.

Girls are slow to pack up, and Wang Xiaoxiao had been urging Hua Suisui and Endme to arrive just in time.

"Sui Sui, Xi Xi, have you ever been to West Lake Four Seasons before?"

Wang Xiaoxiao seemed to have adjusted her mentality at this time, or perhaps the company of her two best friends gave her more confidence, she asked with a smile.

"I once stayed in a single room with a courtyard. It was nice for taking photos, but I was bitten to death by mosquitoes that time... I never ate there."

Hua Suisui said.

"Then you are in for a treat today. Your friend is quite capable. He was able to reserve a table at the Sands Hall."

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled.

“Is this Sands Hall famous?”

Endme, who had spent relatively little time in Hangzhou, asked curiously.

"It's famous. Not only is it Forbes Four Star, it's also the only restaurant in Hangzhou that's on the Black Pearl Three Diamonds list. Hehe, you guys should also know that Hangzhou has a nickname, right?"

"'Food desert', I know about that. It is said that KFC is the most popular takeaway in Hangzhou..."

Hua Suisui immediately raised her hand and said with a grin, "To be honest, there really isn't much good food in Hangzhou. At least the local restaurants I've eaten at in Hangzhou are all hard to rate!"

"So, the Sands Hall at the Four Seasons in West Lake is still so famous in this environment. It shows that there are still some experts. It is said that it is usually hard to get a seat and reservations must be made long in advance."

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded affirmatively, "I've been here once before, and it tastes really good...especially the signature dish, braised pork with abalone. I must try it once."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up!"

Endme looked at Hua Suisui again, "Do you want to go find your friend first or..."

"Let me go take a look with you first."

Hua Suisui thought for a while and said.

Zhou Wang asked her to contact her after she got there. After all, Zhou Wang didn't know where she was having dinner. Hua Suisui decided to accompany Wang Xiaoxiao to see the client first, and then go find Zhou Wang...

"Thank you, let's go."

Wang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, took her two best friends' hands and walked into the Four Seasons Hotel West Lake. Under the guidance of the doorman, the three of them came to the Sands Hall.

"Hello, we are going to the east wing guest rooms."

After telling the name of the private room at the door, the waiter led the three people all the way to the "East Wing Guest Room". When they arrived at the door of the private room, the waiter knocked on the door first.

"Please come in."

Soon, a slightly magnetic male voice was heard from inside.

"Hey, he sounds young..."

Wang Xiaoxiao was more sensitive to voices, and when she heard this voice, she immediately felt a little relieved.

Hua Suisui looked puzzled. Why did this voice sound familiar?

At this time, the waiter had already opened the door of the private room for the three people.

　I will delete the Easter egg chapter about Wang Xiaoxiao’s prototype in a few days, mainly to give some context to those who don’t know her. After all, we should try not to contact real people, ahem…

　　You can also search and fill in the blanks on your own.

　　The Easter egg chapters cannot be seen on Qyue, but book lovers there can go to Qidian.com to take a look.
