Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 202 The Honorable Rolls-Royce Owner

Wu Nara wanted to ask something, but Biaozi, who had been standing silently beside her, moved his body and blocked her way.

Wu Nara had no choice but to walk back while thinking about what Zhou Wang meant by this sentence.

Because Zhang Shihao had actually introduced Zhou Wang before, there was no need for Zhou Wang to repeat his name...

Thinking about Zhou Wang's last meaningful smile, Wu Nara fell into deep thought.

"Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang...name..."

Suddenly, Wu Nara thought of something, and she quickly took out her cell phone and made a call.

"Hello, Manager Liu, it's me. Are you in the store right now? Please log in to the system and check a name for me. Yes, it's Zhou Wang, in his twenties. Really? What? A refund order?"

Wu Nara was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously: "What's the reason for the note?"

Listening to the voice coming from the other end of the phone, Wu Nara was stunned, and finally understood what Zhou Wang meant by only telling him a name.

The call was hung up, but Wu Nara still stood there in despair, thinking that all this was too ridiculous...

In order to facilitate this cooperation with Wuyou Media, no one knows how much effort she put in, how many days and nights she endured, and how many times she ran back and forth...

And now, all of that is gone.

Just because of a seemingly insignificant order.

If Zhou Wang hadn't told her his name in the end, she might have been kept in the dark forever and would never understand why this matter failed until her death.

Wu Nara was stunned, angry, and felt a sense of inexplicable grievance.

Who would have thought that when she was working hard to expand the market for Briony in China, a silent backstab would come from behind...

At this time, Lucas and Fabio, who were not far away, saw Wu Nala suddenly stop halfway through her walk, and they couldn't help but come forward curiously.

"Nara, what's going on? Did Mr. Zhang say when their closed-door meeting will end?"

Lucas, who was confused about the situation, still had a smile on his face.

"I still insist that we shouldn't be the ones who are impatient. Don't forget, Briony is the king of custom menswear!"

Fabio remained proud and said impatiently in Italian, "Can we go to the restaurant? I'm hungrier than a wolf now..."

"Mr. Fabio, your inexplicable pride and your inherent contempt for China are the reasons why you rejected an order from a Chinese customer last week?"

Before Lucas could say anything, Oh Nara spoke coldly.

What surprised both of them was that what came out of Wu Nara's mouth was extremely fluent Italian.

"Nora, what are you talking about... and when did you learn Italian?"

Lucas asked incredulously.

"I found time to learn on my own...Mr. Fabio, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Wu Nala stared at Fabio intently and just replied casually, "Lucas."

"Wu Na-ra, please watch your words. Are you questioning me now?"

Fabio angrily asked back, "To use your Chinese vulgar language, whether I rejected other customers' orders is none of your business!"

"You two, please calm down!"

Lucas didn't know why the two of them suddenly started to confront each other. He quickly comforted Fabio while saying to Wu Nara, "Nara, why did you question Fabio's work without reason?"

"Oh, why?"

Wu Nara laughed bitterly, "I also want to know why... It was Fabio who angered Mr. Zhou, but in the end I had to bear the consequences of the failed cooperation. Lucas, you know how much I paid to facilitate this cooperation..."

"What do you mean? You said Fabio annoyed Mr. Zhou. Which Mr. Zhou?"

Lucas is not stupid after all. He has realized something. "Are you talking about... Mr. Zhou?"

"His full name is Zhou Wang. Half a month ago, he placed an order for a custom suit with our Brioni. The designer assigned by the headquarters was Fabio, but Mr. Fabio rejected his order due to a schedule conflict..."

Wu Nara said expressionlessly.

"what?"

Lucas looked at Fabio in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Is there such a thing?"

Fabio also remembered something at this time. He was a little flustered, but he frowned quickly and said, "I had more important customer orders to deal with at that time. Besides, I didn't know he was a shareholder of this media company..."

"More important customer orders?"

Wu Nara exposed him mercilessly, "If I remember correctly, during lunch, you were still showing off to Lucas how wonderful you and your Greek lover were on vacation in Hawaii for half a month, right?"

Fabio was suddenly embarrassed. He had no idea that Wu Nara had taught herself Italian. He was actually reluctant to believe it...

How come Oh Nara can learn such a difficult language so quickly?
But this is not the point. The point is how he knew that the Zhou Wang whose order he turned down was the Zhou Wang he just met.

"Mr. Fabio, I think you should apologize to Mr. Zhou very formally and try your best to gain his forgiveness!"

Wu Nala stared at Fabio and said coldly.

"This is impossible!"

Fabio immediately shouted: "The headquarters has given me the right to reject two orders every year. I have no reason to apologize to Mr. Zhou..."

"No, Fabio, I think you should follow Nora's advice."

At this time, Lucas, who already understood everything, spoke seriously.

"But……"

"No buts. Like I said before, everything must serve the strategy set by headquarters!"

Lucas, who had been smiling before, said in an almost stern tone, "Mr. Fabio, this is not a discussion, this is an order!"

Fabio's face turned pale instantly, and he could only nod in frustration.

"I understand, Mr. Lucas, I will follow your instructions."

Wu Nara on the side sighed in her heart, is it really too late to apologize now?

When Wu Nara thought of this, she was stunned.

"Tomorrow night is No-You Night. Is it still... too late?"

The words Zhou Wang had said to Zhang Shihao before suddenly echoed in her mind again, as if they were some kind of reflection.

So, did Zhou Wang actually express his stance at that time?
Wu Nara was distracted for a moment.

……

"Mr. Zhang, thank you."

In the president's office, after sitting down again, Zhou Wang suddenly spoke.

Zhou Wang is not a fool. He already understood that Zhang Shihao had actually noticed something a long time ago. Otherwise, if he was really just seeking Zhou Wang's opinion, it would be impossible for Zhang Shihao not to express his own thoughts at all.

It looked more like... he left everything to Zhou Wang to decide.

Zhou Wang's ambiguous question "Is it too late?" also made Zhang Shihao understand Zhou Wang's true attitude.

This is how smart people communicate with each other, so Zhang Shihao's decisive departure was actually equivalent to handing over the right to handle the matter completely to Zhou Wang.

Facing Zhou Wang's sincere thanks, Zhang Shihao was startled, then waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly:
"Haha, brother, don't forget that I am also a businessman, and I am not just trying to save your face."

Seeing that Zhou Wang seemed unconvinced, Zhang Shihao continued, "Wuyou Night doesn't lack a so-called luxury brand to embellish it. I also have my concerns. I wonder if you have noticed that all the sponsors and title sponsors of Wuyou Night are domestic brands?"

Zhou Wang was stunned, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized it was true and nodded.

"So, I had originally planned to do some marketing gimmicks in this regard, but the sudden intrusion of a foreign luxury brand was difficult for me to handle, and it also somewhat ruined the tone, hahahaha..."

Although what Zhang Shihao said made sense, Zhou Wang knew that these things were not the decisive factors after all.

But he didn't say anything more, he just silently accepted the favor in his heart.

Ding!
[Real interaction has been completed. Please bring your ID card to the Rolls-Royce Hangzhou Qianjiang store to pick up the vehicle.]

Zhou Wang was about to say something when the system prompt suddenly sounded.

Damn it, so fast?

Zhou Wang was shocked. It had only been an hour or two.

Is this also the influence of the mythical chessboard?

Confused, Zhou Wang glanced at the system prompt again. It was indeed the official Rolls-Royce 4S store, not some second-hand luxury car dealership...

Wow, Tongzi is so awesome!

I found him a brand new car so quickly...

Zhou Wang knew it.

If you order a Rolls-Royce normally, regardless of whether there are invisible thresholds, the waiting time is actually not much different from that of a supercar.

Because every detail of a Rolls-Royce car body can be customized, just the dazzling customization showroom is enough to make people with decision-making difficulties struggle for a whole day.

For example, there are 24 different colors to choose from for the various threads used for sewing the interior, and more than 40 colors for the car skin. If you are not satisfied, you can DIY the color and send it back to the UK for re-adjustment...

Jingle Bell!
The phone rang at this time. Zhou Wang saw that it was Xu Wenxi, so he signaled to Zhang Shihao, then stood up and walked aside to answer the phone.

"Hey, Sissi, are you back?"

Zhou Wang's tone was unusually gentle.

Xu Wenxi on the other end of the phone pursed her lips, suppressing the surging thoughts in her heart, and said, "Not yet... Boss, Miao Ying called me and said she has arrived at Hangzhou South Station. Do you think I should ask her to meet you?"

"Has Miao Ying returned from your province?... Well, why didn't she call me herself?"

Zhou Wang was surprised.

"She was afraid of disturbing you, so..."

"This silly girl, okay, you ask her to come to Wuyou... Oh, wait, forget it, tell her to go directly to the Hangzhou Rolls-Royce Qianjiang store to wait for me."

Zhou Wang thought that Miao Ying's arrival time was just right, so he could go and pick up the car, otherwise he would have to travel in Hangzhou recently, and it would be inconvenient without his own car.

"Okay...Rolls-Royce store?"

Xu Wenxi responded at first, then was stunned for a moment, "Uh, Boss, did you buy another Rolls-Royce?"

"Well, that's it, hang up!"

"boss……"

Before Xu Wenxi could say anything more, Zhou Wang hung up the phone.

She wrinkled her delicate nose, somewhat helpless.

She was no longer surprised by her boss's extravagant spending, but as a financial officer and assistant, she felt she needed to subtly remind Zhou Wang that he should save money sometimes...

After all, I won't be staying in Hangzhou for a long time. If it was just a car for transportation, it would be fine, but the boss bought a Rolls-Royce worth at least 5 million...

In Xu Wenxian's opinion, it really doesn't make much sense.

……

When Zhou Wang returned to the tea table, Zhang Shihao was also explaining the work to his secretary. Seeing Zhou Wang coming back, Zhang Shihao stopped for a moment and turned to Zhou Wang with a smile and invited him:

"Brother, we will have a closed-door meeting soon. The main content of the meeting is to determine the schedule of tomorrow's party and select substitute programs. Let's go and take a look. Let's go eat after we're done."

"Brother, I won't attend the closed-door meeting. I'll just take this opportunity to pick up a car. Let's meet at the dining place later."

Having figured out Zhang Shihao's character, Zhou Wang spoke more casually, treating Zhang Shihao as his own.

Zhang Shihao really fell for it, and the way he looked at Zhou Wang became more and more friendly, unlike his nephew Zhang Zhiyuan, who couldn't even fart in front of him...

He laughed, "Okay, it's not an important meeting anyway... But you said you were going to pick up the car, did you buy a new car in Hangzhou?"

Facing Zhang Shihao's curious gaze, Zhou Wang did not shy away and nodded:

"Well, I have to settle down here, so I bought a house and a car..."

"That's true. After all, you will have to come here in the future."

Zhang Shihao didn't care and said with a smile: "Okay, brother, you go pick up the car first, or let Biaozi take you there. After Mr. Luo and I confirm it, I will send you the dining table."

"OK." Zhou Wang nodded and was about to move when he accidentally saw the substitute program list scattered on the tea table. He picked it up and took a look.

“Are these shows not confirmed yet?”

Zhou Wang asked as he flipped through it.

"Well, there are 25 programs in total. There is still one floating quota that has not been confirmed. The preliminary plan is to select from a waiting list of million to million fans. This can be regarded as an opportunity to increase their exposure. We will have a brief discussion and then decide."

Zhang Shihao didn't take this trivial matter to heart. Hearing this, he casually said, "By the way, brother, do you have any suggestions? You should know all these Internet celebrities in Wuyou. Maybe your perspective is more objective..."

"Second brother, are you interested in Wang Xiaoxiao?"

Zhou Wang took a look and saw that Wang Xiaoxiao's name was circled in red, so he looked up and asked.

"I can't say I'm attracted to her. It's mainly because I feel that she's the only one in this group who has some real talent. And you should know her a little bit, brother..."

Zhang Shihao laughed and winked at Zhou Wang.

"I can only say that we know each other, but I can't say we understand each other." Zhou Wang smiled.

Zhang Shihao was startled, then he tasted a little taste. He narrowed his eyes, crossed out Wang Xiaoxiao's name calmly, and then smiled and said, "So who do you like more, brother?"

"I think Hua Sui Sui is pretty good. Well, I prefer Endme's looks..."

Zhou Wang said jokingly.

"Oh, brother, Xiao Xixi has a boyfriend. It seems that you have great ambitions, hahaha..."

Zhang Shihao knew all the personal information about the slightly famous artists under the company and smiled immediately.

"It's just pure admiration. I'm not that kind of person." Zhou Wang quickly waved his hand seriously.

"As for her boyfriend, he can only deceive these girls who still have so-called girlish hearts."

Zhang Shihao said this with disdain, and then laughed, "But brother, you do have a sharp eye. There are not many innocent internet celebrities. You mentioned these two, and they happen to have something special about them."

"'The Cat on the Roof' is also ours?"

Zhou Wang didn't respond. After smiling, he suddenly glanced at a name on the official list and said in surprise.

Even though he had added the other person’s WeChat, he still didn’t know this.

"She just signed with the company last month. You know she's become very popular recently, so I spent a lot of time signing her... Damn, brother, you look like you know her, right? How come you know everyone?"

Zhang Shihao asked halfway through his speech, somewhat puzzled.

"I saw it once when I was in Yunnan Province. I had a good impression of it."

Zhou Wang just smiled at this.

"Oh, by the way, what do you think of peaches?" Zhang Shihao seemed to remember something at this time and asked casually.

"She's quite lively and a very friendly girl."

Zhou Wang didn't say much. After responding in an acknowledging manner, he put down the list in his hand and said, "Then I'm leaving, second brother. See you later!"

Zhang Shihao nodded, and waited for Biaozi to leave silently with Zhou Wang. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and instructed the secretary who was waiting on the side:
"There's no need to discuss the last floating quota. Let Hua Suisui and Xiao Xixi go together. Just cross this topic out... Also, hasn't Taozi always been fighting for the position of host? Let's add her as the off-site host."

"Okay, but... Mr. Zhang, Hua Sui Sui and Endme don't seem to have prepared any programs. Isn't it too hasty?"

After the secretary recorded these two points, he gave Zhang Shihao a subtle reminder.

After all, this is an annual grand ceremony that is broadcast live to the entire network. Although most fans don’t care whether the “idols” really have talents, they still have to consider the impact...

Hua Suisui and Endme just happen to have no special talents in this area, and they are not good at dancing or singing.

Zhang Shihao pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a solution.

"This is easy. Let 'Cat on the Roof' guide them. Find a song that is not difficult and well-known. Then they can sing a duet together!"

"Uh, but Mr. Zhang, 'Cat on the Roof' already has a show..."

"It doesn't affect us. 'Cat on the Roof' just signed with the company, so we need to promote it vigorously. Let's just do two shows. Just take it as a signal to the outside world. For artists with real talent like this, we at Wuyou are always willing to support them... Of course, remember to keep up with the publicity!"

Zhang Shihao laughed.

"Ok."

The secretary hurriedly wrote it down carefully, but complained in his heart...

This "cat on the roof" was so lucky that he actually met Mr. Zhou, the person Mr. Zhang needed to get along with the most, in advance...

While the secretary was still thinking about his own things, Zhang Shihao suddenly changed the subject, "Do you know what President Zheng has been busy with recently?"

The secretary was startled and when he looked up, he found that Zhang Shihao's expression had turned cold at some point.

He calmed himself down and answered carefully: "He has rarely been in the company recently, and I haven't seen him..."

Zhang Shihao didn't seem to expect the secretary to say anything. He just sneered and said, "Before, he created a few small internet celebrities in the company. I could turn a blind eye to it, but now, his hands seem to be getting longer and longer..."

"Go check it out. I want to know exactly how much benefit he received from Briony."

"Yes."

The secretary responded quickly.

"Once you have found out, you don't need to let me review it. Just pack it up together with the previous information and send it to Mr. Zhou."

Zhang Shihao closed his eyes slightly and said without any expression.

"Ah, send it to Mr. Zhou?"

"A new official always has to make some plans when he takes office, and send off the Buddha to the west... Just think of this as my last gift to Brother Zhou."

Zhang Shihao said to his secretary meaningfully, "Besides, President Zheng is also an old man who has been with me in building the empire. Do you think it is appropriate for me to take action? For your father's sake, I will teach you this lesson for free..."

The young man was startled, but after he figured it out, he immediately bowed in satisfaction and said, "I understand, boss. I'll do it right away."

……

At around 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Wang arrived at the Rolls-Royce Hangzhou Qianjiang store located in the Renmin Life Building in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou.

As the undisputed top luxury car brand, Rolls-Royce has stores in only a handful of cities in China, totaling 29.

Hangzhou, as a first-tier city, has more than one store. In addition to the one in Qianjiang, there is also a flagship store that opened last year...

However, these are all useless knowledge and most people cannot use them. Even people at Zhou Wang's level cannot use them.

After all, he doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters as where to buy things.

Biaozi drove the Mercedes-Benz S500L to take Zhou Wang to his destination. Looking at the door, he was a little dazed.

To be fair, this door is not very eye-catching, but the "double R" logo makes the whole door shine with a different brilliance in silence...

The new car Mr. Zhou wants to buy...is it a Rolls-Royce?
Biaozi was startled.

"Biaozi, you can go back first. My driver has already arrived. I won't bother you anymore."

Before Zhou Wang got off the car, he said something to Xiao Biao with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Biaozi was a little hesitant, "Um... Mr. Zhou, how about I stay with you for a while... I mainly want to see how a Rolls-Royce is picked up."

Facing Zhou Wang's puzzled gaze, Biaozi scratched his head and said something embarrassedly.

"Okay, come on then."

Zhou Wang naturally agreed readily.

Because they couldn't find the entrance to the parking lot at the moment, Biaozi parked the car directly in a parking space on the side of the road. When the two got out of the car and arrived at the door, Zhou Wang saw Miao Ying who had been waiting there for a long time.

She wore sunglasses and a sports suit. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, which made her look neat and tidy. With her tall figure, she looked heroic.

When she saw Zhou Wang, she took off her sunglasses, revealing a face that was not bright but became more attractive the more she looked at it.

"Mr. Zhou."

"Have you finished your family affairs?"

Zhou Wang looked at her facial features carefully, and her expression seemed to be less depressed than before, so he asked with a smile.

"Well... I hired someone to take care of my mother-in-law, so there shouldn't be any problems for the time being."

Miao Ying nodded, a rare smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.

But she didn't know what she was thinking of, her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head again. She just glanced at Zhou Wang secretly, and quickly shifted her gaze.

Zhou Wang was puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions about this matter, so he said, "Let's go in first."

As the three of them walked into the inductive glass door, a female salesperson came up to greet them with a sweet smile: "Good afternoon, everyone. Are you here to look at the car?"

It is said that Rolls-Royce salespeople are the prettiest. Zhou Wang only took a look at this saleswoman named "Yang Lili". She was indeed pretty good, but that was all...

It's because his appetite has been spoiled.

"I'm here to pick up the car..." Zhou Wang shook his head.

When Yang Lili heard the words "pick up the car", she immediately realized something. She asked in surprise, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Zhou Wangzhou?"

"Yes."

"Mr. Zhou, you came just in time. The Rolls-Royce Phantom you ordered just arrived at the store an hour ago. We were just preparing for the delivery ceremony when you arrived."

Yang Lili said with a smile, her attitude even more respectful. She also glanced at Miao Ying behind Zhou Wang subtly, secretly guessing the relationship between the two.

Arrived an hour ago?
Zhou Wang was surprised, and seemed to have thought of something. "Can I ask who ordered this Phantom?"

"If I remember correctly, it was exactly one month ago, Mr. Zhou."

After hearing Yang Lili's answer, Zhou Wang finally figured out the logic behind it.

The generation time of [Zhazhi Gift Pack] is also one month, so in fact the system has already started interacting with reality, there is nothing wrong with it...

"Mr. Zhou, please come this way. I will take you to complete the delivery procedures..."

Yang Lili bent down and led the way.

In fact, when it comes to the delivery of the car, there are no complicated procedures. After all, the most troublesome time of buying a Rolls-Royce is in the early stage. Now it is just to confirm the car purchase contract and talk about rights and interests...

The store manager and after-sales representatives all gathered together to congratulate Mr. Zhou Wang on becoming a “distinguished Rolls-Royce owner.”

If this statement is applied to other brands, it may just be a superficial compliment or even a ridicule, but when it comes to Rolls-Royce, Zhou Wang believes that they must be sincere.

Then everyone came to the showroom where the car was delivered, and Zhou Wang also saw the phantom that the system prepared for him.

To be honest, when Zhou Wang saw it for the first time, he was not very satisfied, because it was not his ideal color...

Today's Rolls-Royce Phantoms are all two-tone combinations. The one in front of him is some kind of dark green with black, but when Zhou Wang read magazines before, his favorite combination was the classic black and white.

However, after taking a closer look, Zhou Wang overturned his superficial aesthetic view.

For a car of this level, what ugly colors are there?

When the little golden man rises, none of this matters anymore.

You will find that this car is awesome, it looks good no matter how you look at it...

An umbrella that is said to be worth 10 yuan, a starry sky roof worth 25 yuan, a custom-made mother-of-pearl clock worth 40 yuan, and the "Art Gallery" hidden in the front cabin...

Zhou Wang took a look at the details on the car purchase contract. With the options costing nearly five million, the total price of this 2024 long-wheelbase version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom reached an exaggerated 1578 million.

There is almost no rival among the cars.

Biaozi followed along to admire the car, of course not to really see the delivery process, but purely out of curiosity about which model of Rolls-Royce Zhou Wang bought...

When he saw that it was actually a graduation model of Phantom, Biaozi not only secretly thought that "Boss Zhou is awesome", but also probably understood why his boss had such an attitude towards Zhou Wang...

Biaozi left quickly, and Zhou Wang asked Miao Ying to sit in the back seat.

"Oh, I'll sit in the back seat?"

Miao Ying was stunned for a moment.

"I probably won't have the chance to drive one in the future, so I want to experience what it's like to drive a 5.99-meter car..."

Zhou Wang smiled.

If it's 6 meters, it will be a yellow card. I can only say that this Phantom is just right...
