Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 249 Magic and Reality

"Hmm...how did I fall asleep..."

On the rooftop, Su Yajing was awakened by the noise of Li Danni coming over. She opened her eyes dazedly and found that she was curled up in Zhou Wang's arms. She didn't know when she had really fallen asleep.

"Just take a nap if you want to. It's okay."

Zhou Wang smiled and said.

He quite enjoyed this moment. The scenery was beautiful, the breeze was just right, and it was a pleasure to just hug a girl and daydream.
Of course, the premise is that the girl is fragrant and soft...

Ding!
At this time, two hours later, Zhou Wang also heard the system prompt.

【Realistic interaction completed】

[The ownership transaction contract has been signed, and the host has successfully acquired 90% of the equity of "Mingcheng Lishui Yunquan Hotel Co., Ltd." and the ownership of "Mingcheng Lishui Yunquan Hotel"]

Huh?
How can you only have 90% of the shares?
Zhou Wang carefully looked at the contract in the system attachment again, and then he understood.

It turns out that when the Lishui Yunquan Hotel Company was first established, the Yunnan Normal University behind it also bought a 10% stake by way of land lease rights. This was also the key to lowering the construction costs of the Lishui Yunquan Hotel at the beginning of its construction.

Before the expiration of the term, Zhou Wang has to continue to give a share of the profits to Yunnan Normal University.

However, Zhou Wang thought about it and felt that this was not a bad thing. On the contrary, in-depth cooperation with Yunnan Normal University could bring many invisible benefits.

Therefore, Zhou Wang did not plan to change anything in this partnership.

"No, I can't sleep."

Su Yajing wrinkled her nose and tried to wake up.

"why?"

"You'll have bad breath when you sleep, and then your brother won't want to wrap his tongue around me."

"..."

Listening to Su Yajing's explanation in a sweet voice, Zhou Wang was speechless.

What could he say?
I can only sigh at Su Yajing’s unique perspective. Most people would never think in this way.

Su Yajing laughed, leaned forward and kissed Zhou Wang, then asked:

"Was it Senior Danny who came up just now? Did she ask us to go down?"

Zhou Wang was about to reply when he heard a noise coming from the stairs on the other side. The noise started out a little urgent but soon became quieter, as if the noise was afraid of disturbing something.

Then, under the surprised gazes of the two people, a head with some caution popped out from the flat surface of the stairs.

"Fuck, Brother Gou, is it really you?"

"Old Ruan?"

When Zhou Wang saw the person's face clearly, he was also stunned. Then he understood what was going on and felt relieved.

It turns out that the cousin Chen Hao was referring to is actually Old Ruan!
Zhou Wang had never thought about it in this regard before. After all, there are so many people doing tourism in Mingcheng, and there are more big companies than just "Xinghui International" run by the old Ruan family. This is really a coincidence.

"Excuse me?"

Although his expression was full of surprise, Lao Ruan still didn't come over immediately.

Since the other person was Lao Ruan, Zhou Wang definitely couldn't lie down anymore. Su Yajing had seen Lao Ruan before, so she quickly stood up to make it easier for Zhou Wang to get up.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There is no such thing as 'disturbance' between you and me!"

Zhou Wang walked over and hugged Lao Ruan who came forward.

Originally, the two were not that familiar with each other, at least there was a gap between them and Young Master Zhang. However, Zhou Wang was grateful for the convenience provided by Lao Ruan when he went to Licheng. In addition, Lao Ruan also helped a lot with his parents and relatives' trip to Europe.

If you change to another travel agency, they may not be able to provide such meticulous and thoughtful service.

Anyway, Zhou Wang had a video call with his mother yesterday. Although his mother kept saying that she missed Zhou Wang so much and that she couldn't get used to the food and the place in a foreign country, Zhao Guifen just said a few words and hung up the phone, saying that they were about to leave to see the northern lights...

Zhou Wang knew that his mother was really excited.

As a result, he naturally felt an extra layer of gratitude towards Lao Ruan.

There is no need to explore what Lao Ruan did specifically. He went out to have fun... and his family was happy, and that was enough.

"Hahaha, Brother Gou, I couldn't believe it when I heard your name down there just now. I didn't expect it was really you!"

Ruan Jinghong also appeared extremely happy. He grabbed Zhou Wang's arm and kept saying, "I heard from Master Zhang a few days ago that you went to Hangzhou, and it was difficult to contact you. These two days I was thinking about calling you and asking if we could have time to have dinner together. Now it seems that it's not necessary..."

While Lao Ruan was talking, Zhou Wang glanced over and saw Li Danni, her boyfriend Chen Hao, and Zhang Ruifeng standing at the corner of the stairs. However, their expressions were all completely confused.

Chen Hao even felt a little helpless, as if he didn't know whether he should step forward and say something.

When he saw his cousin and Zhou Wang hugging each other, a series of question marks floated through Chen Hao's mind. Oh no, it also crossed Li Danni's mind and Zhang Ruifeng's mind...

Zhang Ruifeng: [? How come your brother is so familiar with this Zhou Wang?]

Chen Hao: [I don’t know either]

Li Danni: [Your brother seems to know Yajing, what the hell is this, I am not Sister Li]

The above all come from the eye contact between the three people. It’s strange to say, they just looked at each other, but they can accurately get what the other party wants to express.

At this time, after Lao Ruan also greeted Su Yajing politely, Zhou Wang smiled and said, "Don't stand here, go down. After all, it's Senior Sister Su Yajing's birthday. What's the point of us standing here and chatting?"

Do you know it’s someone’s birthday now?

Also, who are you referring to when you say “stop standing here”?
Chen Hao and the others were complaining wildly in their hearts, but because they really couldn't figure out the situation, they could only smile awkwardly and follow Zhou Wang and the other three who were walking downstairs, and returned to the first floor lobby together.

……

To be honest, Li Danni’s other classmates in the hall were also confused at this time.

Just a moment ago, they were admiring the bossy demeanor of cousin Chen Hao. After Li Danni came back and said a name, looking at the extremely mature and steady cousin Chen Hao, she suddenly couldn't sit still and hurried upstairs.

Judging from the situation at the time, Chen Hao and others were obviously confused.

But now, they saw Chen Hao's cousin and Su Yajing's boyfriend, who was said to be very pretentious, walking down together chatting and laughing. The key point is that judging from Chen Hao's cousin's posture, he was obviously lagging behind a little.

They may not understand the ways of the world, but Lao Ruan has shown it clearly enough, and anyone can see that, at least in front of Zhou Wang, he is very low-key...

When everyone in the group came over, the other students subconsciously made way for them. Zhou Wang did not try to be polite to Lao Ruan and sat down in the main seat naturally.

"It turns out that Miss Su and my future sister-in-law are schoolmates. Haha, no wonder. This is also the first time I met Danny today..."

After figuring out the relationship, Lao Ruan suddenly realized.

Su Yajing on the side just listened with a smile and did not interrupt rashly, but she felt a little satisfied in her heart.

Last time they had dinner together, although Lao Ruan was polite to her because of Zhou Wang, Su Yajing felt a clear difference when they met this time.

If that time was just a courtesy, this time, Su Yajing truly felt a sense of "respect"...

Even though she knew that she could never marry Zhou Wang in this life, which girl would really want others to treat her as a "mistress"?

"Old Ruan, your career must be booming recently. I feel like you are completely different now, and you are full of energy and vigor!"

Zhou Wang looked at Ruan Jinghong and smiled.

"It's not bad. I finally changed my car a few days ago and bought a Lamborghini Urus. I had been driving my previous Panamera for almost four years. I was really sick of it..."

"Oh?"

He knew that Lao Ruan had no intention of showing off, and Lao Ruan was unlikely to show off with a Urus in front of him. He was just expressing his feelings and communicating with him, so Zhou Wang asked with interest: "It's the SUV that Lamborghini released later, right? How do you feel about it?"

"It's just so-so. Do you want to drive it for a couple of days? I don't ask for much. Just give me your McLaren P1 to play with. Hahaha!"

As Lao Ruan said this, he slammed the car keys directly on the table.

"If you want to drive, you don't have to change it. Just go to my garage in Spring Eye and drive away whichever car you like... Oh, except for the Mercedes-Benz AMG."

"Really?"

"Of course. I'm kidding you about this. It's just a few cars."

"It's also..."

While the two were talking, Chen Hao on the side couldn't help himself.

Zhou Wang also has McLaren P1?

No, who is this?

Zhang Ruifeng's face was tense and he felt suffocated. It was mainly because they couldn't get a word in when Zhou Wang and Ruan Jinghong were talking. This made him feel like he had become the same role as Li Danni's classmates before Ruan Jinghong came...

《Background board》.

"Brother, you and Zhou Wang are..."

At this time, while Ruan Jinghong was helping Zhou Wang light a cigarette, Chen Hao finally found the opportunity and quickly asked.

Ruan Jinghong smiled and was about to explain when his cell phone rang.

Originally, he was talking to Zhou Wang and would not have answered any ordinary calls. However, when he saw the caller ID, Ruan Jinghong looked at Zhou Wang with a smile.

"Brother Gou, do you believe this? This call is actually for you?"

"Oh?"

Zhou Wang leaned over to take a look in confusion, only to see that Ruan Jinghong's note for the other party was "Lishui Yunquan-Qufeng".

Zhou Wang realized something, and at this time Ruan Jinghong had already answered the phone. He directly pressed the hands-free button:

"Hello, Mr. Ruan?"

A middle-aged man's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, Mr. Qu. Hello. I haven't had time to call you yet, but you called me first..."

After hearing the other party's surname, Chen Hao and several classmates who had just gone to the door to greet Ruan Jinghong immediately guessed the other party's identity.

After quietly reminding everyone, everyone in the living room realized that the other party was actually the boss of this five-star hotel. For a moment, everyone fell silent.

"Boss Ruan, I just heard from Lao Yang from the catering department that you are in Lishui Yunquan right now?"

"Yes, Mr. Qu, do you have time? I haven't had tea with you for a long time..."

"Mr. Ruan, I'm calling to tell you that I may have to apologize today. I'm in the hotel and I was originally free, but now something unexpected has happened and I'm afraid I can't get away..."

Qu Feng on the other end of the phone explained with a wry smile.

"Mr. Qu, please wait. How about letting me guess what the 'emergency' you are talking about is?"

Ruan Jinghong looked at Zhou Wang again and asked with a smile, his expression mischievous.

"Oh?" Qu Feng on the other end of the phone was very surprised, and then laughed: "I only found out about it five minutes ago. If you can even guess this, Mr. Ruan, you are amazing..."

"What's so difficult about this? It's nothing more than a change of boss behind you. I guess you are a little confused now, Mr. Qu, after all, you don't know where to go to pay respect to this mountain."

Ruan Jinghong didn't keep the secret any longer and said with a smile.

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then Qu Feng's astonished voice rang out: "Mr. Ruan, this... is not it, how did you know about this?!" "Could it be..."

Qu Feng reacted quickly and asked tentatively.

"Hey, don't think too much. This matter has nothing to do with me. I don't have the ability to do it."

Ruan Jinghong laughed and winked at Zhou Wang. Seeing that Zhou Wang just smiled helplessly and did not show any obvious refusal, he said with relief;
"The reason I know this is because the 'mountain' you want to worship is sitting next to me now!"

Listening to Ruan Jinghong's meaningful words, Qu Feng really didn't react at first. After a pause, Qu Feng finally thought of something, and he quickly asked;
“Mr. Ruan, do you mean that Mr. Zhou Wangzhou is with you now?”

Although he still didn't know who Zhou Wang was, Qu Feng at least knew a name... a name that suddenly acquired Lishui Yunquan Hotel at lightning speed and became the name of the new boss behind him.

Having said this, it was obviously inappropriate for Ruan Jinghong to continue speaking, so Zhou Wang reached out and took the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Qu, I'm Zhou Wang."

Zhou Wang's voice sounded very young, but Qu Feng didn't think Ruan Jinghong would joke with him about this kind of thing, so when he heard Zhou Wang's greeting, Qu Feng immediately responded:

"Hey, hello, Mr. Zhou...Um, let me confirm with you, are you also in Lishui Yunquan Hotel right now?"

"Yes, Villa No. 3."

Wow!

There was a sound of a chair being pushed on the other end of the phone, followed by Qu Feng asking cautiously: "Mr. Zhou, are you available? Otherwise..."

"Well, if you are free, come over and we can talk in person."

Zhou Wang naturally understood what he meant and nodded immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wang looked at Li Danni, who was standing beside him with her mouth slightly open and still a little dazed, and said with a smile: "Senior Danni, excuse me, can I borrow the villa's tea room for a while?"

"Uh, ah...of course, of course!"

Li Danni came back to her senses and nodded quickly.

……

Just six minutes later, Qu Feng, general manager of Lishui Yunquan Hotel, arrived.

He did not come alone. He was accompanied by the two vice presidents of the hotel who were on duty that day, seven or eight department managers, etc.

Well, seeing that the tea room was not enough, Zhou Wang had no choice but to take a group of people, and called Su Yajing, and went directly to the multi-functional conference room on the first floor.

Even Ruan Jinghong couldn't follow at this time. After Zhou Wang and others disappeared behind the door, the strange atmosphere that had lasted for a long time in the living room was finally broken.

Chen Hao, who had been unable to hold back his anger for a long time, swallowed his saliva and looked at his cousin hesitantly, "Brother, this Zhou Wang, no, this Gou Ge, could it be..."

"Well, he's the 'Batman of Ming City' you've always wanted to meet, and now you've met him."

With Ruan Jinghong's cleverness, he could easily guess that before he came, Chen Hao might have had some unpleasantness with Zhou Wang, so after nodding, he pulled Chen Hao aside and asked about the process in detail.

He was mainly worried that the previous situation would be difficult to clean up, and then he would have to consider how to clean up his cousin's mess...

While Chen Hao was being questioned by Ruan Jinghong, Li Danni and Zhang Ruifeng were also caught up in their own complex emotions.

Li Danni was shocked.

I thought it was a magical joke, but at this moment it turned into reality.

Su Yajing's boyfriend is actually so rich that this is a star-rated hotel. He bought it without any hesitation, more casually than her buying a piece of clothing...

At the same time, he couldn't stop feeling envy and sighs, as well as a hint of undeniable jealousy towards Su Yajing.

As an art student with a dim future, faced with the conflict between unwillingness to accept fate and the oppression of reality, finding a capable man and trying to have a happy marriage is already their best option.

Li Danni doesn't necessarily like Chen Hao that much, this is just the lack of a better compromise.

But how could Su Yajing find such an outstanding boy in her first relationship...

As for Zhang Ruifeng, whose expression kept changing, he was really unwilling to believe that Zhou Wang, whom he had always disliked, actually had such amazing strength!

He is the "Batman of Mingcheng" in the circle mentioned by Chen Hao, a ruthless man who spends billions of dollars at will.

Even though Zhang Ruifeng could disdain the previous rumors and think that they were exaggerated, it was a fact that Zhou Wang had casually bought a five-star hotel...

It's impossible that everyone is acting with him, right?
This made Zhang Ruifeng feel ashamed and angry with nowhere to vent, and at the same time he developed an indescribable fear of Zhou Wang.

"If you have a chance later, you should apologize to Zhou Wang. Although he probably won't bother with you, after all, for him, your level is too low..."

On the other hand, after listening to what Chen Hao had to say, Ruan Jinghong also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Chen Hao was relatively restrained and didn't really say anything particularly unpleasant, just some sarcastic remarks.

"I understand, brother, don't worry, I won't worry about losing face or anything like that. I can't afford to offend such a person!"

Chen Hao said with a wry smile.

Although he has a dandy side, at least he is clear-headed about these things.

He didn't need to delve into Zhou Wang's background in detail, he just needed to know one thing...

Judging from the tone inadvertently revealed by his cousin, even Ruan Jinghong was very reluctant to offend Zhou Wang.

This is enough.

……

More than half an hour later, the door of the conference room reopened, and Zhou Wang walked out first, stretching lazily. Behind him was a group of smiling executives of Lishui Yunquan Hotel.

The first meeting was just a process of initial acquaintance, so everyone was naturally friendly.

In fact, Zhou Wang’s main purpose was to make Su Yajing familiar with them so that it would be easier for her to participate in the management of the hotel in the future.

Qu Feng was obviously a smart man. He heard the hint in Zhou Wang's words and gave a certain response.

That’s about it for now. As for how Su Yajing can become familiar with the hotel business, it will definitely require some planning.

Seeing Zhou Wang and others coming out, Ruan Jinghong and others also stood up to greet them.

Seeing this, Zhou Wang smiled at Li Danni and said, "Senior Danni, I'm sorry, I have something else to do tonight, so if you don't mind, Su Yajing and I have to leave first. I wish you a happy birthday, and may you have this day every year!"

"No, no, just go and do whatever you want..."

Normally, if a friend wants to leave first, Li Danni will definitely use some Taoist tricks to persuade him to stay.

But facing Zhou Wang at this moment, Li Danni felt that it was good enough that she didn't stutter when she spoke, so how could she have any other thoughts?
Zhou Wang looked at Chen Hao who was hesitant to speak, and spoke first: "You are Lao Ruan's cousin, so you are not an outsider, so there is no need to say more. When I have time, I will invite Lao Ruan to have a meal together."

"Hey, okay!"

Chen Hao nodded quickly, feeling relieved but also couldn't help but sigh.

Otherwise, he is awesome. He has predicted what I am going to say before I even open my mouth...

Ruan Jinghong also looked at Zhou Wang gratefully, and then smiled and said, "Brother Gou, that's great, let's go together."

Zhou Wang patted his head at this time and said, "Speaking of this, it's just right, Lao Ruan, if you have nothing to do tonight, why don't you accompany me to have dinner? I just need some help. I have also called Tang Yiming and the others, but I don't know if they have time..."

Hearing Zhou Wang's invitation, Ruan Jinghong hesitated at first, because he really had other things to do today, but after thinking about it, Ruan Jinghong quickly nodded and smiled:

"Sure, I'm still a little free today, so I'll go with you!"

……

Under the gaze of Chen Hao and others, Zhou Wang, Su Yajing, Ruan Jinghong and a large number of hotel executives left the villa.

After this group of people left, the atmosphere in the living room that seemed to have been stagnant for a long time finally became normal. Li Danni's classmates even felt that they could breathe a lot more easily.

Chen Hao, who had just returned after seeing someone off, was about to say something to Li Danni when a man in a suit and tie came back in a hurry.

Chen Hao was not sure who this person was, but he vaguely remembered that he was one of the executives in the group just now, but he did not know his specific position.

The man walked straight to Li Danni, then took out a gold card with the Lishui Yunquan logo and handed it to her with both hands:

"Ms. Li, this is what our CEO Zhou asked me to give to you. He said that he was in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare any gifts. This is a little gift from him."

While Li Danni was stunned, the man smiled and explained:
"This is our hotel's VIP membership card. With this card, you can enjoy a 20% discount on all purchases in the hotel. In addition... 100,000 has been pre-deposited on the card."

"what!"

Several exclamations were heard all around, and Li Danni came back to her senses at this time. She waved her hands in panic.

"No, no, this is too expensive, I can't take it..."

"Yes, we can't accept it. Manager, please tell Zhou Wang that we appreciate your kindness, but we don't need this card anymore."

Chen Hao also quickly followed suit.

"Mr. Zhou said that if Ms. Li considers Ms. Su and him as friends, she must accept this membership card."

The man smiled helplessly and said, "Please don't embarrass me."

After saying this, while Li Danni and Chen Hao were still hesitating, the man had already placed the gold card on the table and turned away.

"Hey……"

Li Danni had no time to stop him and could only watch the man who looked like a manager walk away. She looked at Chen Hao, who couldn't help scratching his head.

"Forget it, Danny, just keep it for now. I'll ask my cousin how to deal with it later..."

Seeing this, Li Danni could only carefully put away the gold card, but at the same time she couldn't stop shouting in her heart.

If you are so generous to your girlfriend’s friends, what about your girlfriend?
Don't dare to think, don't dare to think...

I envy Su Yajing even more, ah!

At this time, Zhang Ruifeng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up.

"Mouse, I'm leaving too."

"Hmm? Ruifeng, you're leaving too?"

Chen Hao was a little surprised.

"I have other things to do in Yunnan Province. Didn't I tell you before? I just asked my friend and his father should be free today. I'll go visit him."

Zhang Ruifeng exhaled a breath and forced a smile.

You didn't say you were leaving midway...

However, Chen Hao probably understood that his roommate felt that his face was damaged in front of Li Danni and her classmates, so he couldn't stand it anymore.

After all, he is a person who is used to being praised. If he continues to stay here, he will only feel uncomfortable, so Chen Hao nodded and said, "Okay."

With Chen Hao seeing him off, Zhang Ruifeng left the villa. After saying goodbye to Chen Hao, Zhang Ruifeng sneered as if to vent his anger: "Brother Gou? Haha..."

Shaking his head to dispel the irritation caused by Zhou Wang, Zhang Ruifeng took out his cell phone and made a call.

The call was quickly connected, and Zhang Ruifeng smiled:
"Hello, Lu Chen? It's me, Zhang Ruifeng... Yes, I told you before, I'm already in Mingcheng... How about it, is your old man available? I'll go visit him today?"

　Thank you all for your monthly tickets!!!
