Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 203 Son, This is Your Uncle Zhou

Wuyou Media, dressing room.

The dressing room was quite lively at the moment. Under Bai Jie's suspended ceiling, in front of the rows of dressing mirrors decorated in European style, besides the busy makeup artists, there were also girls with sweet smiles.

There are also big V male internet celebrities on Wuyou, but among them, there are very few men who are purely for looks. Instead, most of them are comedy bloggers, food bloggers and the like.

A closed-door meeting within the company is about to be held, which is equivalent to the final review of tomorrow night's performance. Although there may not be an opportunity to perform live, these female Internet celebrities will still try their best to show the best of themselves. Men do not have this need. After all, except for a very few, they do not rely on their looks to make a living.

At this time, the most lively "Don't Eat Peach Flavor" was walking around the dressing room with a mobile phone, intending to take a daily video for Wuyou's official account.

"There are thousands of beautiful women on the Internet, and Wuyou Media accounts for half of them! Come and count how many Internet celebrities I have filmed in this video, go for it!"

Taozi held up her phone and started walking around the stage: "Sui Sui, look at the camera...Super cool Sister Xi, and Xiao Xiao...Wow, everyone's dream...Ms. Xiao Cheng, look here, look here...Half a mouthful of milk cap...This is our beauty freak Zhou Lixin, hey, I heard that you're having a scandal with Tong Jingcheng recently, do you want to respond, hehe, brothers, she actually hit me..."

"Finally, let me introduce our company's first love goddess of folk songs, 'Cat on the Roof'... Oh, she's shy, her smile is so sweet!"

Although it was just a casual shot, Taozi had no doubt that this video would go viral. After all, most of the "goddesses" loved by Wuyou fans were included in her video.

"Ouch!"

As Taozi was backing up to make a panoramic ending, she accidentally bumped into another person.

Taozi turned around and quickly stuck out her tongue to apologize, "I'm sorry, Sister Dantong!"

"Sister Dantong, you are here today too!"

"Sister Dantong..."

Except for a very small number of girls who already had a problem with her, most of the girls turned around and greeted her, and many even stood up subconsciously.

Internet celebrities worth tens of millions or more usually have their own makeup artists, so there is no need for them to appear here. However, the girl who appeared at the door at this time was more than just a tens of millions...

She is about 1 meters tall, with a tall figure, a standard supermodel abstinence face, a knotted white shirt, a super short denim skirt, and a pair of simple canvas shoes, revealing her two long white legs. She has a cool and beautiful temperament. She is none other than "Lin Dantong", the top female internet celebrity in the company.

Or to be more precise, her current official certification label is "fashion creator". She has embarked on a high-level track different from ordinary Internet celebrities and has broken away from the vulgar tastes of "rouge and powder".

Three years ago, a high-quality cross-dressing video made Lin Dantong, who had always been tepid, soar to fame and gained three million followers in just one month.

Starting from that video, she became the "cross-dressing ceiling" on Tik Tok. Although there were countless imitators later, she was able to surpass other Internet celebrities with her high-end sense and was always one step ahead of others.

Her fan base is not limited to men, women also make up a significant proportion.

The most terrifying thing is the beauty that can attract female fans, because that means extremely powerful monetization ability. Therefore, Lin Dantong received the maximum amount of resources from the company.

In just one year, she replaced the former "Si Yao N" and became the number one in the company's appearance.

Although only on the surface, "Si Yao N" has more fans, which has exceeded 20 million, while Lin Dantong only has 17 million.

Originally, if "Peng Shiqief" was still there, Lin Dantong could only be ranked second. However, "Peng Shiqief" terminated his contract with Wuyou a few years ago. Lin Dantong, who had the best of time, place and people, rose to the top at the speed of light.

What’s funnier is that although most of the girls present called her “Sister Dantong”, in fact, Lin Dantong is younger than most of the girls present.

She happened to be born in 00, the first batch of post-00s, and only two years older than Zhou Wang...

Today, when the post-10s have not yet started to make waves, she is the epitome of youth and beauty.

"Hello everyone, I'm here early, so I'm just here to hang out... By the way, I'll buy you some milk tea."

Lin Dantong smiled and waved to greet everyone. Although she was young, she had a cool temperament and was able to control the situation, so the title of "Sister Dantong" was not inappropriate for her.

After saying hello, Lin Dantong asked the assistant behind her to bring milk tea, which caused another round of laughter.

"It feels like she's here for inspection. Why is she pretending? She just got some equity incentives. If you don't know, you might think she's become the boss's wife... Don't you agree, Xiaoxiao?"

In a corner, Ms. Xiao Cheng, who was sitting next to Wang Xiaoxiao and drawing her eyebrows, curled her lips and muttered calmly.

Wang Xiaoxiao, who was still in a daze because of the argument with her agent earlier, came to her senses. She didn't know how to respond and could only force a smile.

Ms. Xiao Cheng seemed to be sure of Wang Xiaoxiao's character and didn't dare to say anything. Even though Wang Xiaoxiao didn't reply, she still sneered and complained:

"Two years ago, she would have called me sister when she saw me, but now she's acting so arrogantly. I don't know what's wrong with men nowadays. They like to pursue girls with no breasts and no buttocks, and they don't even mind it... In fact, Xiao Xiaoni's conditions are much better than hers, but the number of her fans is not even a fraction of hers..."

"I, I don't rely on my figure to make a living..."

Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but retorted subconsciously.

In her own mind, she is a "musician". Even if she sometimes wears clothes that reveal her figure, that is also the image requirement designed by the company. So she is somewhat resistant to Ms. Xiao Cheng comparing herself with her.

This again involves the issue of the "chain of contempt".

In the final analysis, Wang Xiaoxiao also looks down on internet celebrities like Ms. Xiao Cheng who rely on "marketing flair" to rise to fame.

What’s even more interesting is that Ms. Xiao Cheng’s fans have reached 10 million, but she is still sitting in the public dressing room, treated the same as ordinary Internet celebrities with 5 million fans…

Wang Xiaoxiao's rebuttal made Ms. Xiao Cheng hear some other meanings. She was a little sensitive, so she immediately threw the small brush in her hand and questioned Wang Xiaoxiao:
"Wang Xiaoxiao, what do you mean by that? Who are you being sarcastic about? If you have any objections to me, you can just say it directly!"

Her voice was so loud that all the internet celebrities in the dressing room looked over in surprise.

"I, I didn't..."

Faced with Ms. Xiao Cheng's attack, Wang Xiaoxiao, who didn't know how to explain, just waved his hands in panic.

"You didn't? Then why did you say that? Who are you mirroring?"

Ms. Xiao Cheng sneered, "You still say 'You don't rely on your figure to make a living'? If you don't rely on your figure to make a living, why did you choose such a contrasting online name, and 'Xiao Xiao'? You see, you are quite big, aren't you just trying to attract attention? Do you think others don't know your little tricks?"

As she spoke, Ms. Xiao Cheng reached out to pull Wang Xiaoxiao's clothes.

"enough!"

When Hua Suisui and Endme ran over to help and Wang Xiaoxiao's eyes were already red, Lin Dantong stopped the farce in time with a frown.

"Humph, bitches are just hypocritical!"

Ms. Xiao Cheng did not make a fuss anymore. She just snorted, stood up, picked up her LV bag and walked away.

Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back her tears after all, and they flowed down her cheeks.

"Don't look at it, the closed-door meeting will begin in twenty minutes. Are you all ready?"

Seeing that a group of girls were still looking over here, Lin Dantong looked around and spoke.

The superficial harmony was restored in the dressing room. Lin Dantong finally set her gaze on the sobbing Wang Xiaoxiao, but she did not walk over. She just shook her head slightly and then turned and left.

On the other side, Taozi, Endme and Hua Suisui surrounded Wang Xiaoxiao and comforted her softly.

"I, I'm fine... Thank you."

After all, she had experienced many storms, and Wang Xiaoxiao, who was out of control, quickly adjusted herself. She forced a smile and explained:
"Actually, it's not just because of what Xiao Cheng said. Mainly because I had a big fight with Sister Yan before, and the pressure these past two days has been too great..."

"Well, I saw it then."

Taozi said a little embarrassedly.

"Yeah, I saw you too..."

Wang Xiaoxiao recalled the gaze they had exchanged through the crack in the door, so she asked casually, "The person next to you at that time was Zhou Wang, right?"

"Hey, you know Mr. Zhou too?"

Taozi was suddenly surprised.

"What, Zhou Wang is in Wuyou?"

Endme and Hua Suisui were both surprised, but Hua Suisui's reaction was greater and her eyes instantly became bright.

"Ah, so you all know Mr. Zhou... He is Mr. Zhang's guest, and it was Mr. Zhang who asked me to show him around the company."

Taozi was surprised, but she still explained, "I don't know if he left now, but that was an hour ago."

"Then when we visited the company, didn't Mr. Zhang show up himself?" Wang Xiaoxiao asked as if to confirm.

"Not really, but..."

"But what?" Endme asked curiously.

"Forget it, it's nothing."

After hesitating for a while, Taozi still shook her head. After all, those were just her guesses and she didn't know what to say.

"Xiao Xiao, I think I heard a few words. You and your agent had a quarrel. Was it because of the lack of a performance spot for the Best Night?"

At this time, Taozi seemed to remember something and asked.

"Well, sort of... My agent thinks I wasted a great opportunity. I could have 'pleased' Mr. Zheng."

Wang Xiaoxiao said this in a self-deprecating manner, and deliberately emphasized the word "please".

Hua Suisui was the only one who knew the whole story. At this point, she could only sigh, not knowing what to say.

Taozi's focus was obviously not on this. She just thought about it, then smiled and moved a little closer. "I don't know if this news will make you feel better in advance, but you can refer to it..."

"what news?"

The attention of several girls was attracted.

"Emm... Yesterday I went to Mr. Zhang's office to play for a while, and then I accidentally saw a document that Mr. Zhang left on the tea table. It was the program selection list for Wuyou Night, and our names were on it..."

Taozi said mysteriously, and looked around to make sure that no one was paying attention to this place. Then she whispered the last sentence:
"I saw Xiaoxiao's name was marked in red!"

"What does the red mark mean?"

Wang Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully.

They were not surprised that Taozi could often come in and out of Mr. Zhang's office. Taozi was such a social expert that she had acquaintances in almost every department of the company and had a good relationship with all the management. This was why she could become the "official receptionist of Wuyou Media."

"Boss Zhang has a habit of marking things. If I'm not mistaken, Boss Zhang marked your name in red, which means... he actually intends to let you take the place of the last show that has not yet been decided!"

"real or fake?"

After these words were spoken, Wang Xiaoxiao hadn't reacted yet, while Hua Suisui and Endme were both shocked.

Wang Xiaoxiao felt a huge surprise. She stood up impatiently, grabbed Taozi's arm, and asked excitedly, "Taozi, are you... are you telling the truth?"

"What I saw was definitely correct. As for whether Mr. Zhang thinks the same, I'm not sure. It's just my guess... Seeing that you are in such a bad mood, I have to give you some good news!"

Taozi said with a giggle.

"Xiaoxiao, I think it's almost certain. Mr. Zhang is a very methodical person. Since he marked your name, he must have this tendency."

Hua Suisui was really happy for Wang Xiaoxiao. After all, she had given up on the No-One Night a long time ago and didn't think she had any chance of being selected for the show.

"I think so too. Among the candidates, Xiaoxiao, you are already considered to be very talented. After all, you are a serious singer..."

Endme also said with a smile.

Hearing her two good sisters say this, Wang Xiaoxiao suddenly gained more confidence. Under the impact of this sudden good news, she suddenly became radiant.

"Ah, my makeup is all smudged. No, no, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to put on some makeup right away..."

Seeing herself in the mirror, Wang Xiaoxiao exclaimed and quickly got back to work.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wuyou Media's closed-door meeting was held on time in the large conference room on the fifteenth floor.

On the surface, the atmosphere seemed as relaxed as ever, and the management did not sit on the podium, but their positions were relatively forward.

No one was late, including the big internet celebrities who were the face of Wuyou Media. Except for a few stars from outside the circle who could only arrive tomorrow, all the others, whether they had 20 million or 30 million fans, were present.

Although there is no seating arrangement, this is the time when a person's actual status can be best reflected.

Artists like Lin Dantong, Duoyu Jie, Siyao N, and Ladezi can sit in the front row and chat and laugh with the management.

The next most popular anchors like "Xin Yao" or internet celebrities with millions of dollars who can still make some money from their old fame like "Wo De Meng" are in the middle and front positions.

Then later on, except for "Ms. Xiao Cheng" who sat a little further forward despite everyone's strange looks, everyone just sat in rows according to the number of fans they had.

Because this closed-door meeting is also by invitation only, those with less than three or four million fans are not eligible to attend, except for those with particularly strong tracks, so Hua Suisui, Endme, Wang Xiaoxiao and Taozi basically sat in the back.

Originally, Endme and Hua Suisui could have moved a little closer to the front, but as the saying goes, "sisters of the times will never separate", they still sat here with Wang Xiaoxiao...

Including some internet celebrity agents, the number of people in the conference room at this time has reached one or two hundred, which is quite large.

The person in charge of presiding over the meeting was Zheng Shifeng, the company's vice president who was fully responsible for the planning of the evening party. He was a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head and a beer belly, but with a good demeanor.

After the company's CEO Zhang Shihao took his seat amid the applause of the crowd, Zheng Shifeng stood up, walked to the empty space in the middle of the front row, and smiled at everyone:

"Welcome everyone to gather here today to attend the company's closed-door meeting. At the request of Mr. Zhang, I will be responsible for hosting this meeting..."

Zheng Shifeng spoke eloquently and presided over one topic after another in an orderly manner.

The early topics went by very quickly, mainly confirming the event process, broadcast matters, and whether the supporting publicity was in place, etc.

It was only when confirming the final list of sponsors that Zheng Shifeng hesitated for a moment, but still looked at Zhang Shihao with a smile:
"Mr. Zhang, do we need to reserve a booth here first?"

“Why keep it?”

Zhang Shihao asked back with a faint smile.

"But isn't Briony still in the negotiation stage? What if..."

"No one can ever be sure of that. I won't consider working with Briony anymore."

Zhang Shihao interrupted him directly. Although his tone was flat, it revealed an unquestionable meaning.

Zheng Shifeng was shocked. He was now certain that the phone call from Wu Nara was not fabricated. He thought that the cooperation that was set in stone was actually ruined...

And all of this was caused by a new supervisor whom he had not yet met.

"But……"

Zheng Shifeng was eager to say something. "No buts, let's move on to the next topic."

Zhang Shihao's tone was as calm as always.

Facing Zhang Shihao's smile, Zheng Shifeng was shocked, but at this time he had no time to think about what went wrong. He could only bite the bullet, adjust his mentality and continue to preside over the meeting.

Soon, the topic came to the last item. It was not until this time that many internet celebrities who had been absent-minded in the back row straightened up and became focused.

"Everyone, the last item on the agenda is the performance list for tomorrow night's Wuyou Night. In addition to the need to fine-tune the order of some programs, the most important thing is that there is still a candidate program that has not been determined. Now, we plan to use the form of executive nomination and on-site voting to..."

"Wait a moment, Mr. Zheng."

Just as Zheng Shifeng was presiding over the meeting according to the established process, Zhang Shihao suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him again.

"boss Zhang?"

Zheng Shifeng looked over in confusion.

Who would have thought that Zhang Shihao would just stand up, walk to Zheng Shifeng, take the microphone while he was confused, then turn around and face everyone.

"I will announce this matter myself."

Zhang Shihao smiled and said to everyone, "We did plan to finalize the alternative programs at the closed-door meeting, but now it seems unnecessary. After careful discussion between me and other shareholders, we have already made a final arrangement for the last program..."

Hearing what Zhang Shihao said, all the internet celebrities present were stunned, but they couldn't help but feel curious.

So, that "lucky guy" has been born ahead of time?
"Xiaoxiao, I'm going to treat you to a big dinner tonight!"

Hearing this, Hua Suisui chuckled and winked at Wang Xiaoxiao.

Wang Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and couldn't say anything, but her face was flushed and there was anticipation in her eyes.

My luck...is finally getting better?

Endme and Taozi also thought that since Mr. Zhang had said so, Taozi’s judgment was probably correct… This number of places might really be small, so there was no need for further selection.

At this time, everyone finally heard Zhang Shihao's next words:
"The final substitute program will be contributed by Endme and Hua Suisui... Of course, considering your actual situation, I suggest that 'Cat on the Roof' sing a song with you. Well, of course, this is just my suggestion. You can discuss the details yourself."

No one laughed at the joke Zhang Shihao made later. In fact, many people were still confused at that time.

Zheng Shifeng was secretly surprised that Zhang Shihao had given the list without informing him. At this moment, he felt inexplicably flustered and had an absurd feeling that everything was out of control...

Hua Suisui and Endme, the parties involved, looked up in confusion and didn't react at all.

Ah, what what?
What Mr. Zhang said...is it really our name?

The "Cat on the Roof" was also surprised. She quickly raised her hand and stood up, "Mr. Zhang, did you just say that I can sing with Hua Suisui and the others?"

"Yes, I think the effect of this linkage should be very good..." Zhang Shihao nodded with a smile.

"But Mr. Zhang, I already have a show."

"The Cat on the Roof" thought Zhang Shihao had forgotten, so he reminded him in a low voice.

"I know. Two shows are also possible. You don't have to feel any psychological pressure. Just give your best."

Zhang Shihao waved his hand indifferently.

The "Cat on the Roof" was truly surprised. Although she already had a certain degree of fame, she was also in a period of lack of momentum. If she could have one more chance to appear on the Wuyou Night, where the operation model was already mature, it would mean that she would earn a lot of traffic, topics, and fame for nothing...

At this time, Hua Suisui and Endme just woke up from their dream. Their actions were very funny. They both stood up subconsciously, as if they wanted to confirm something.

"Don't ask, it's really you... Go down and prepare well. Strictly speaking, you only have one day."

Zhang Shihao had already predicted something. When the two girls stood up, he waved his hand and said meaningfully to Hua Suisui:
"Sui Sui, especially you. Last time at the Oriental Fashion Festival, you were so nervous that you almost walked the wrong way. Don't do anything weird again this time..."

Amid the laughter of some people, Hua Suisui's cheeks turned red and she sat back down somewhat embarrassedly, but at this moment, her heart was already filled with joy.

The performance spot that she thought was hopeless actually hit her right in the face...

What’s the difference between this and pie falling from the sky!
Looking at the countless envious and jealous eyes around her, Hua Suisui seemed to have found again the joy of becoming famous on the Internet in the beginning, and even couldn't help but hum a few words.

Lin Ran, her agent who was sitting behind her, came over with an incredulous look on her face. "Fuck, Sisi, how did you manage to sleep with Mr. Zhang?"

"What are you talking about, Sister Ran? Mr. Zhang is not that kind of person...ah, I'm not that kind of person either!"

Hua Suisui bared her teeth and claws at Lin Ran, then shook her head in confusion, "I don't know either, Xixi, do you know why?"

Faced with Hua Suisui's question, Endme also shook his head in confusion.

At this moment, the two of them remembered something and turned to look at Wang Xiaoxiao beside them.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoxiao seemed to have lost her soul. She sat slumped in the chair, feeling lost and incredulous...

She had already prepared herself for failure, but Taozi's words gave her hope...

What she found most ironic was that Hua Suisui and Endme, who didn't care about the quota at all, were selected so effortlessly.

She was confused and didn't know what was going on with the "I don't like peach flavor". She was sure that she had seen it right. And based on her understanding of Mr. Zhang, it was probably a sign that Mr. Zhang was interested in her...

"Xiao Xiao, I..."

Taozi, feeling quite guilty, was about to explain to Wang Xiaoxiao, but at this moment, Zhang Shihao directly called her name.

"peach!"

"Hey, here we are!"

Taozi responded subconsciously and stood up, which caused another burst of laughter in the conference room.

"Haven't you always wanted to try hosting a large event? Don't say the company didn't give you a chance... There's still a spot for hosting at the Wuyou Night this time. Go ahead."

Zhang Shihao said with a smile.

"Ah...Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll do my best!"

Taozi reacted very quickly. Although she couldn't quite believe that the spot she had worked so hard for actually fell into her hands, she still nodded excitedly.

"Haha, do a good job. I have confidence in you... You did a good job on today's reception."

Zhang Shihao smiled and encouraged, then waved his hand for Taozi to sit down.

After that, Zhang Shihao said something else but no one paid attention to it. After Taozi sat down, she had figured out something from Zhang Shihao's last words. She excitedly clenched her fists:

"I knew it, hahaha, my bet was right, Mr. Zhou is such a benefactor..."

Looking at Taozi who was smiling happily, Hua Suisui, who heard the "sensitive words", immediately looked over.

"Mr. Zhou? Are you talking about Zhou Wang, whom you received this afternoon?"

Hua Sui Sui asked curiously, "What does this have to do with him?"

Endme pricked up his ears without showing any emotion, and even Wang Xiaoxiao, who was still in a state of dismay, subconsciously looked up.

“There must be a connection!”

Taozi, who didn't notice the different emotions of the three people, laughed to herself and said, "Boss Zhang finally gave me a hint. It must be that my reception made Boss Zhou very satisfied. He spoke well of me in front of Boss Zhang... I have been fighting for this position for a long time, but Boss Zhang has not given in. It's impossible that Boss Zhang suddenly came to his senses, right?"

"Zhou Wang... President Zhou has such a great influence on President Zhang?"

Endme asked in a daze.

"Then I don't know, but their relationship must be special." Taozi shook her head.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang's original words were that he and the shareholders would discuss whether Zhou Wang..."

Hua Suisui remembered something and couldn't help but speak it out, but she stopped herself halfway because she felt that it was a bit too far-fetched.

This is Wuyou Media!

It's really not that you can enter the market simply by having money. With her shallow understanding of Zhou Wang, it is still a little difficult for her to connect Zhou Wang with the identity of "Wuyou Media shareholder".

Besides, didn’t Zhou Wang himself say at the time that he was only friends with Mr. Zhang’s juniors…

Wang Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to what Hua Suisui was saying. She just fell into a daze again because of Taozi's words.

Zhou Wang?

Could his words actually influence Mr. Zhang's decision?

Could it be... that Endme and Hua Suisui were temporarily chosen by Mr. Zhang to replace her because of this?
If this is the truth, then what stupid thing did I do last night?

But Wang Xiaoxiao was unwilling to believe that Zhou Wang really had such a great influence on Zhang Shihao.

"It's impossible. It's impossible..."

Wang Xiaoxiao, feeling like she was about to suffocate, kept shaking her head. She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly and muttered to herself.

……

6:30 p.m.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom drove along the edge of the West Lake, and finally, as countless passers-by turned their heads, it slowly drove into the Four Seasons Hotel West Lake.

Even in Hangzhou, where there are many wealthy people, Rolls-Royce is a rare top-level luxury car. The doorman just smiled warmly and greeted him, and then the window of the back seat rolled down, revealing a pretty face with an unnatural expression...

"Uh, Sister An..."

The doorman was stunned for a moment as he didn't expect that the person sitting in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce was the butler Xiao An.

"It's Mr. Zhou's car, don't worry about it, just remove the roadblock..."

Xiao An quickly explained.

The doorman then noticed that the person sitting in the driver's seat was Mr. Zhou, who lived in the ambassador's three-bedroom residence. He quickly removed the roadblock and kept bowing and greeting Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, just smiled slightly, started the Phantom and drove into the inner road of West Lake Four Seasons.

It was quite funny to say that it was not until Zhou Wang took Miao Ying for a walk that he remembered that he had forgotten Xiao An at Wuyou Media...

When the tour was halfway through, Zhou Wang saw that Xiao An was having a hard time walking in her high heels, so he asked her to go to the reception room to rest first. Then he forgot to call her when he left, so he had to go to Wuyou Media to pick up Xiao An, and has only just arrived at West Lake Four Seasons.

Xiao An was also confused, because Zhou Wang was driving himself, and the pretty girl who seemed to be Zhou Wang's driver took the passenger seat first, so she had no choice but to sit in the back seat and enjoy the treatment of a luxury car owner...

However, the time for the arrival of several people was just right, because Zhang Shihao, who had just finished the meeting, and Luo Meiling, who was hosting today, arrived only a few minutes earlier than Zhou Wang...

As for why the venue for the dinner was chosen to be at the Four Seasons at West Lake, in addition to Zhou Wang's residence, there was another reason that there were too few delicious restaurants in Hangzhou, and the most famous local restaurant was the Jinsha Hall at the Four Seasons at West Lake...

When the Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove into the VIP internal parking lot of the Sands Hall, a man and a woman were already standing there chatting and laughing at the tree-lined path leading to the private room. One of them was Zhang Shihao.

Standing next to him was a beautiful young woman wearing a white chiffon shirt and a black skirt, holding an Hermès handbag in one hand. She was the host today and Luo Meiling, one of the original shareholders of BSK.

When Zhou Wang opened the car door and got out, he saw the other person's face clearly. He was a little surprised that the difference between him and the avatar was not that big...

Apart from being able to tell that the other person is definitely not in his early thirties, he should be around thirty-five to forty. However, because he is well maintained, his mature and intellectual temperament is like a aged wine fermented from deep in the cellar, tempting you to go deeper.

The two also saw the approaching phantom. Zhang Shihao was fine, after all, he had learned about it from Biaozi in advance, so he was no longer surprised. However, Luo Meiling was still a little stunned:
"Why does this look like a new car..."

"Mr. Zhou just mentioned it more than an hour ago. Of course it's a new car."

Zhang Shihao explained with a smile.

Luo Meiling was a little shocked, because the Cullinan she ordered a few months ago because she couldn't resist her son's begging was still in the queue...

Zhou Wang drove the car to a nearby parking space, got out of the driver's seat, and greeted them with a smile.

"I'm sorry, second brother, Mr. Luo, it was a bit congested when we got here. Why don't you two go in first..."

Since there were only three people, the host and the guest, they could skip the introduction process. Luo Meiling smiled gently and stepped forward to Zhou Wang, extending her fair hand:
"Mr. Zhou, I admire your name. I didn't expect you to have such a nice voice and be so handsome. When Mr. Zhang told me just now, I didn't believe it..."

Zhou Wang was amused by Luo Meiling's "shallow looking up" and then held her warm and smooth hand, sighing:
"When I saw your profile picture before, I was shocked by your beauty. I didn't expect that this feeling would increase instead of diminishing after meeting you. Mr. Luo, if your temperament debuted from our Wuyou, I'm afraid that most of the Internet celebrities would be out of work."

In fact, Luo Meiling had heard even more exaggerated praise like this, but when such praise came from Zhou Wang, Luo Meiling was still very pleased.

"Hahaha, you two, how about we go into the private room and continue our conversation?"

Seeing that the two sides had almost finished their greetings, Zhang Shihao smiled and spoke.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhou, I may have to apologize to you. Mr. Zhang already knows about this. My son just happened to come to see me today. His father and I have been divorced for a long time and we don't see each other very often, so... do you think it would be convenient for him to have a simple meal with us?"

Miao Ying and Xiao An followed behind. When the three of them walked towards the private room together, Luo Meiling suddenly said to Zhou Wang with a hint of apology.

Zhou Wang was startled, then nodded with a smile: "Of course... Mr. Luo's son should still be in kindergarten, or elementary school?"

"Boss Zhou, I can't have too much contact with you. Your subtle praise can easily make people fall for it..."

Luo Meiling smiled at first, then said: "He is already 21 years old, probably about the same age as Mr. Zhou. He just called me and should have arrived at the private room by now. Mr. Zhou will be able to see him soon. Maybe you can get along with him, so it's a good opportunity for him to learn from Mr. Zhou..."

Chatting and laughing, everyone came to the private room of Sands Hall through the backyard. Xiao An walked quickly forward and opened the door. As expected, there was a plump young man in trendy clothes waiting in the elegantly decorated classical room.

"Mom, Uncle Zhang..."

The young man subconsciously smiled, stood up, and acted like a well-behaved boy.

However, he had just greeted his mother and Zhang Shihao, and when his eyes swept over the third person, he was stunned.

Luo Meiling didn't notice her son's abnormality. She continued to smile and wave at her son, while introducing him:
"Xiao Qi, come here quickly. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Zhou Wangzhou, a good friend of mom..."

Seeing her son's face full of astonishment, but without any satisfactory reaction, Luo Meiling could not help but frown and urged:

"Hey, kid, what are you still standing there for? Come and say hello to your Uncle Zhou!"

　Don't worry, I will make up for the missed updates, but I will only do so when I have more time...

　　A preview: a group will be created when 10,000 subscriptions are reached, so that everyone can have a place to urge for updates. Currently, there is still a little bit left, but not much...

　　Finally, thank you all for your monthly tickets.
