Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 208 I Saw

Speaking of Endme's brief absence of consciousness, I have to briefly describe Zhou Wang's outfit today.

After returning to West Lake Four Seasons from Peach Blossom Spring, Xiao An urgently arranged for a SPA therapist and a hairstylist to help Zhou Wang with a simple facial and hairstyle modification...

After changing into a well-tailored Kiton haute couture suit, Zhou Wang, who usually had a casual demeanor, suddenly changed his temperament.

"Noble, mysterious, and a little bohemian..."

Such shameful adjectives were not used by Zhou Wang himself to describe it, but were used by the blushing Xiao An.

Being able to turn a silky young woman into a budding young girl, one can imagine how powerful and handsome Zhou Wang is today...

The key is that he is not a show-off. Coupled with the temperament bonus brought by the "etiquette training book", he has barely reached the level of being able to make flowers bloom wherever they are seen.

It was okay if they were far apart, but in the narrow space of the carriage, when they were face to face, the impact was even stronger.

Endme must be a beauty-obsessed person, otherwise she wouldn’t have found a model boyfriend. So when she first saw Zhou Wang at this moment, she was “stunned” and lost her mind.

And Zhou Wang didn't seem to be wearing anything underneath. From Endme's perspective, she could vaguely see Zhou Wang's well-defined chest muscles from the open neckline, which made her heart beat wildly again...

Endme quickly realized her loss of composure and when she looked up, she was met with Zhou Wang's puzzled gaze. Her face turned red and she quickly turned her head away in a panic.

"Well, Mr. Zhou...Mr. Zhou, what did you just ask me?"

Endme lifted her long hair and spoke.

"I said the company has a special car, why are you here?"

Zhou Wang noticed the reason why Endme lost his composure. He did not show any abnormality, but he still felt a little amused and curious in his heart.

Although the profession of internet celebrity is somewhat different from the entertainment industry, few of those who can really make a name for themselves in this field are truly simple.

In other words, no matter where the "world of fame and fortune" is, it will naturally be corrupted by the complex human heart.

But...

Endme is really a breath of fresh air among them.

Because... she is a "talented player" that everyone envies, and she has achieved her current position with almost no effort.

Zhou Wang has read her detailed information. Ji Xiaoxi, who was born in 01, did not make her debut through short videos. She was originally a beauty UP host on Station A and accumulated hundreds of thousands of fans in a very short time.

But, her makeup skills are actually terrible. She became popular only because some other female bloggers discovered her "divine face", so everyone watches her videos to see the beauty...

She has all the popular styles of innocent big eyes, playful M-shaped lips, and a tall and delicate nose. She also has the same rabbit teeth as Suzy, the same electric eyes as Huo Jianhua, and the same small face as Zhao Jinmai...

Especially after facing various doubts, Endme directly released a makeup-free video taken with the original camera without filters or beauty effects, which attracted countless fans again. From then on, she embarked on the path of becoming a short video influencer.

All the short videos she has shot do not contain any inappropriate content, and the most explicit content is exposing her Jio.

Objectively speaking, with her conditions, if she really had some scheming and tricks, it's been a year or two now, and she would have tens of millions of fans, and she wouldn't be in her current lukewarm state.

Take "Peng Shiqief" who is in the same class as her for reference. She has already walked a long way...

"The company has a special car to pick me up, but there was a problem with my dress, so I had to find a new one, which delayed me and I had to go to the venue by myself..."

At this time, Endme had calmed down. She explained helplessly, "Originally, Chen He... is my boyfriend. You met him last time. He said he would ride a motorcycle to pick me up, but he had a minor accident on the way and was stopped by the traffic police... By the way, Mr. Zhou, you are also going to the ceremony, right?"

"Since I asked you to get in the car, of course it's on the way... But why is it that after meeting for the second time, you seem to be more distant from me?"

Zhou Wang said jokingly.

The last time they got along, Zhou Wang could feel that Endme at least had a good impression of him. Of course, it might not have risen to the level of a romantic relationship, but this time when they met, Zhou Wang could clearly feel something different...

I don't know why, but Endme seemed to be a little more cautious when speaking.

"Because I found out that you are a big shot, how can I get along with you normally..."

Endme smiled and winked at Zhou Wang. "Sui Sui and I both sing out of tune. I guess it's because of you that I was chosen to be on the show, right?"

"I thought you were afraid that your boyfriend would get angry again, so you kept your distance from me on purpose."

Zhou Wang didn't comment, just smiled.

"That may be a reason as well. He may be more sensitive and I don't want to cause him to misunderstand again..."

Endme nodded and admitted it generously, then hesitated and said: "Since you said so, I'll still call you Zhou Wang. Um... can we be friends?"

"I thought we were already friends." Zhou Wang just smiled.

"Yes."

Endme chuckled, not knowing what he was thinking of, and pretended to be curious and asked, "The way Sui Sui looked at you that day was not simple, you two must have something going on, right?"

"She is indeed lusting after my body..." Zhou Wang nodded.

"Hahaha, Minato is shameless."

Listening to Zhou Wang's slightly ambiguous statement, Endme also confirmed his guess that there must be something going on between Zhou Wang and Hua Suisui... After all, when Hua Suisui mentioned Zhou Wang, there was almost no concealment.

If that's the case, Zhou Wang probably doesn't have any other thoughts about me...

The reason why Endme was a little conflicted was that she was on the show with Hua Suisui. If this was really help from Zhou Wang, she would inevitably feel a little uneasy.

The two have only met once, what does Zhou Wang want to do?
Hearing Zhou Wang's implicit admission that the relationship between him and Hua Suisui was not simple, Endme subconsciously thought that he was just taking advantage of Hua Suisui.

Glancing at Zhou Wang quietly, Endme heaved a sigh of relief, but somehow, deep down in his heart, he felt a little indescribable loss...

At this time, Endme's cell phone rang. She took a look and quickly answered the call, her back unconsciously straightened a little.

"Hey, mom... Yeah, I'm on my way. I won't be late, don't worry... I'll be home a little late today because there's a company party after the ceremony... You know I just signed up, I can't miss my first major event... Don't worry, I'll be there at 2 o'clock at the latest... Okay, 1 o'clock should be fine, please... Yeah, love you!"

While Ji Xiaoxi was on the phone, Zhou Wang took a casual glance and suddenly couldn't take his eyes away.

Because she unconsciously lifted the hem of her dress, a pair of small Jio in black-bottomed high-heeled sandals were revealed.

(JioJio-reference picture)

The rose-red nail polish covering the cute little toes, combined with the white and translucent soles, made Zhou Wang swallow unconsciously...

Damn, I’m obviously not a Jio fan!

But to be honest, the last time Zhou Wang saw such a good-looking Jio was on Yu Duo.

It turns out that besides a face, Ji Xiaoxi also has other artistic treasures...

"Why do you still have door locks at your age?"

At this time, Ji Xiaoxi hung up the phone, and Zhou Wang withdrew his gaze and asked with a smile.

"It's more than just the door control... You know, even if I go to other places to shoot, my mother will follow me, and sometimes even my father will come with me."

Ji Xiaoxi said helplessly.

"So exaggerated?"

Zhou Wang was a little stunned after hearing this.

For Zhou Wang, who became an "orphan" after graduating from high school, it is hard for him to imagine that parents would discipline their children so strictly after they grow up...

"My father is a Chinese who returned from overseas and is a religious person. Although my mother is not a religious person, she also pays attention to family traditions and education. When I used to shoot those beauty videos, I hid at home. Later, after I became famous, I spent a lot of effort and signed various unequal treaties before my parents agreed to let me do this business..." Speaking of this topic, Endme seems to have endless complaints:

"Even if Chen He and I were in a relationship, I told my parents that it was because the company required us to run a couple account, and we were not really in a relationship. Can you imagine how miserable I am? I'm already 23 years old, and I still have to hide my relationship..."

"So your current boyfriend is your first love?"

Zhou Wang seemed to be thinking about something.

"Strictly speaking, yes. I only had flirtations with other people when I was in school, but nothing came of it in the end, so I cherish this relationship. I really want to be like what the books say, and only have to have this one relationship in my life..."

When Endme said this, there was a hint of longing in his expression, but Zhou Wang also understood.

No wonder I always feel that she has a naivety that doesn't fit in with this circle. It turns out that it is closely related to her upbringing...

After they started talking, the vague barrier that existed before disappeared again, and Endme smiled more and more, and was often amused by Zhou Wang and laughed.

But as time went by, Endme began to get anxious again.

"Zhou Wang, is it too late? I have to arrive at the designated location before 7:28, otherwise I will miss the red carpet..."

At this time, the Rolls-Royce Phantom had already driven to the vicinity of the Olympic Sports Center. Here, the flow of people on the street became crowded. Going further ahead was a traffic control area and no vehicles were allowed to pass.

Endme glanced at the clock on the front seat of the Rolls-Royce. It was already around 7:20. The crowd ahead was daunting. Endme couldn't imagine how he would get through in a few minutes. It would also take time to enter the Olympic Sports Center...

Endme was already feeling a little desperate. This was her first public appearance after signing with Wuyou, and the company had even provided special publicity resources for this. It could be said that this should have been a turning point in her career, but now it seemed like she was going to mess it up...

Thinking of this, Endme felt a little resentful towards Chen He again. If he had not been late, she would not have missed the red carpet.

"Don't worry, it's still in time."

Zhou Wang just smiled faintly.

Looking at Zhou Wang's indifferent expression, before Endme could say anything, the Rolls-Royce had already driven directly to the cordon.

Under Endme's stunned gaze, Miao Ying in the front row showed some kind of ID, and then the traffic police let her go.

After entering the separate lane, the speed of the Rolls-Royce suddenly increased. Even before Endme could react, the Rolls-Royce had already driven directly into the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center.

This "inside" is the real inside, that is, the inside of the Olympic Sports Center.

Endme thought he would be blocked, but he just watched the Rolls-Royce Phantom pass through one barrier after another. During the process, a staff member even ran to the front to help clear the lane...

It was mainly because Endme didn't know him, otherwise she would have been able to tell that the "staff member" who was responsible for clearing the way in front was actually Biaozi, the number one henchman under Zhang Zhiyuan.

Endme gradually forgot about his surprise, because this was a very strange perspective.

Through the car window, Endme could see audiences still queuing up at the venue entrance. Someone had an argument with the ticket inspector, causing a small chaos.

She also saw several influencers from the same company. They seemed to be late as well and were running towards the red carpet in a hurry. One of her high heels, "Sunny", even fell off because she was running too fast...

She also saw Mr. Zheng from the company's planning department, who was furious at the staff who were setting up the booth for some unknown reason. His clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face was full of anxiety...

Sitting in the back seat of a Rolls-Royce Phantom, I passed through this chaos at a constant speed. The well-soundproof windows eliminated all noise, making all the scenes outside the window seem like a silent farce.

"Hey, are you okay?"

It was not until Zhou Wang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Endme that she suddenly came to her senses. It turned out that the Rolls-Royce had stopped steadily at some point, and next to it was the entrance to the red carpet of "Wuyou Night 2024".

This area is crowded with media reporters, photographers, and a small number of "lucky fans".

At a glance, in addition to the logos of Internet media such as Xinlang, Tencent, Mouhu, Mouban, Moumo, and MouY, you can also see media such as Zhejiang TV and CCTV, as well as some leading self-media in the field.

In fact, the entire evening party was broadcast live on the entire network and could be watched simultaneously on almost all mainstream social media.

This prosperous scene is no less than the media lineup that can be gathered for major events in the entertainment industry. When the first "Wuyou Night" was held four years ago, some media even insinuated that it was just an "annual meeting" of an MCN company, a group of internet celebrities having fun...

This is the "Internet celebrity e-commerce economy" that has already pried open a huge pie. No matter what attitude the general public has towards Internet celebrities, whether they like them or despise them, it is undeniable that they have become the new darlings of capital.

Even Zhou Wang, who always had a detached mentality, felt a little shaken when he saw this scene.

"I'm sorry, I was distracted just now..."

Endme blushed and quickly explained.

"It's okay, go ahead...it's 7:26 now, you're not late."

Zhou Wang withdrew his gaze from the car window, then looked at his watch and smiled.

Endme only then understood the value of Zhou Wang's words "it's still in time". She had many questions in her heart and was a little shocked, but she didn't know what to ask at this moment.

And somehow, at the moment of getting off the car, Endme suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the feeling of sitting in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

It has nothing to do with luxury or comfort. It is an inexplicable peace of mind, a different feeling that Endme has never experienced before...

Jingle Bell!
The rapid ringing of the phone interrupted Endme's wandering thoughts. She took a look and subconsciously hung up the phone.

The call was from her boyfriend Chen He. Probably because she hadn't replied to his message, there were already dozens of unread messages on WeChat...

"Don't worry, I'm here. A friend brought me here."

Endme quickly replied to a message, then put her phone into her small Chanel handbag and prepared to open the car door.

"Then Zhou Wang, I..."

Ji Xiaoxi stopped talking halfway because several media reporters and some wild spectators holding mobile phones had already run to the side of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

As early as when the Rolls-Royce Phantom drove over, it had already attracted some people's attention. After all, in this venue where only some work vehicles can pass, it is very abrupt to suddenly drive in a private car. What's even more outrageous is...

This is actually a Rolls-Royce graduation model, the long-wheelbase Phantom!

According to the general order of walking the red carpet, the last few stars had not yet appeared. The reporters present had been taking pictures of various internet celebrities for half a day, more than half of whom they could not even name and were a little tired. Suddenly, a mysterious Phantom came, which naturally caught their attention.

Those who came over at this time were all quick reacters, and in sight, there were also some reporters rushing over.

Although Endme became famous early, he had never seen such a scene before, so he was naturally a little panicked.

Zhou Wang had not taken this unexpected factor into account. Looking at Endme's eyes that seemed to be asking for help, he was briefly conflicted.

Zhou Wang originally planned to get off here. After all, he could only walk if he went further in. He couldn't drive the car into the auditorium. However, he had previously planned to wait until Endme left before getting off the car...

While Zhou Wang was thinking, the system prompt sounded suddenly.

Ding!
