Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 251 Growth is just a matter of thought (asking for monthly ticket)
"Come on, Mr. Zhou, let me introduce you."

From Lu Conglin's perspective, he naturally couldn't see the changing expressions of the people behind him. After greeting Zhou Wang, he began to introduce the people behind him one by one.

"Lu Yuansong, the CEO of our group's subsidiary responsible for new project development... Yuansong, this is Mr. Zhou Wangzhou, the self-made billionaire I mentioned to you before. As far as I know, he should be the youngest billionaire in Mingcheng!"

"Hello, Mr. Zhou!"

Lu Yuansong immediately took the initiative to shake Zhou Wang's hand and said with a smile, "I've heard that there is an outstanding young entrepreneur in Yunnan Province. Today I finally meet him."

From the surprise that could not be hidden in Lu Yuansong's eyes, Zhou Wang knew that he had never heard of him before today, but in the social interactions of adults, these "details" were obviously not important.

The important thing is that Lu Conglin hosted a banquet for Zhou Wang in a solemn manner and invited himself to attend as a guest, so he must be more solemn to Zhou Wang.

"The guy next to him is his son Lu Chen. Mr. Zhou, if I remember correctly, you graduated from Caida University, right? Lu Chen is your schoolmate..."

Lu Conglin was introducing with a smile, but his tone suddenly paused.

His expression seemed to have not changed, but Lu Yuansong noticed that a hint of displeasure flashed across Lu Conglin's eyes.

When Lu Yuansong saw his son's performance, he suddenly realized what was going on and was immediately furious.

His son, who was usually quite clever, froze in place when facing Zhou Wang, and couldn't even take the initiative to say hello!
"Lu Chen!"

Lu Yuansong's face suddenly darkened.

"Hey!"

Lu Chen was startled, and without caring about the panic and resistance in his heart, he quickly forced a smile and extended his hand to Zhou Wang.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou..."

Seeing Lu Chen's timid look, Lu Yuansong felt dizzy.

What the hell are you doing with this plane!
Zhou Wang smiled, but did not shake hands with Lu Chen. He just patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "Senior Brother Lu, we meet again..."

Lu Chen, with cold sweat oozing from his forehead, knew that his performance at the moment was terrible, but he had thought about various scenarios that would occur after being discovered by Zhou Wang, such as Zhou Wang calling him in a rage, and he ridiculed him, but Zhou Wang could do nothing about him.

Well, even if he admitted that Zhou Wang was no longer a soft persimmon, it should at least be a full-moon night, on top of the Forbidden City, right?
Zhou Wang coldly declared war on him, but he smiled evilly and told Zhou Wang to come over.

Yes, Lu Chen had thought of all kinds of scenes in the past two days, but... he had never expected this one.

Zhou Wang directly bypassed the high ground and pushed onto the crystal.

Although Lu Conglin was nominally his second uncle, that was only a relative through the family tree. If it wasn't during festivals, not only himself, but even his father would not really call him "Second Brother", but would respectfully call him "Mr. Lu".

When Lu Chen was forcing a pale smile and didn't know what to say, Zhou Wang patted his shoulder, but let him go, and turned to Zhang Ruifeng beside him and smiled:

"Ruifeng is here too, what a coincidence."

Who are you calling "Ruifeng"?

Is that your name "Ruifeng"?

However, even though he thought so, Zhang Ruifeng still subconsciously smiled brightly, "Ahaha, yes, yes, I didn't expect that..."

Ugh, you are such a bitch!

Zhang Ruifeng despised himself in his heart, but then he comforted himself again, forget it, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, the situation is stronger than the person, if you endure for a while, you will have peace of mind, if you take a step back, you will have a broader horizon, a real man can bend and stretch...

After all, he is the "Batman of Mingcheng". I am sick to fight with him in Mingcheng. Well, if Zhou Wang goes to Zhejiang Province in the future, that will be my home court.

"Mr. Zhou, do you know each other?"

Lu Conglin discovered a clue and asked in surprise.

"I just met you not long ago."

Zhou Wang just responded with a smile, then skipped the topic and introduced Su Yajing, Tang Yiming, Ruan Jinghong and others.

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zhou Wang would question him in public. That would be the end of him. However, it turned out that he was too happy too early...

After Zhou Wang and Lu Conglin entered the private room first while chatting and laughing, Lu Chen was about to follow but was stopped by Lu Yuansong next to him.

"dad……"

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lu Yuansong had a blank expression on his face, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

Even a blind man could see that something was wrong between him and Zhou Wang, and he believed that Lu Conglin had also seen it. If he didn't ask clearly now, how could he eat this meal?
"Dad, it's really nothing..."

Lu Chen gritted his teeth and spoke.

Lu Yuansong sneered: "It seems that you have grown wings. Fine, then you will get out of the company tomorrow and do whatever you want!"

"No, Dad, I'll tell you, isn't that enough?"

Seeing that Lu Yuansong was really angry, Lu Chen could only make a sad face and stammered, "When I was in school before, Zhou Wang and I had some unpleasantness. Then, during our homecoming event a few days ago, I... I... "

Under Lu Yuansong's severe questioning, Lu Chen told the story in a fragmentary manner.

Then Lu Yuansong fell silent.

Seeing that his father hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Chen finally couldn't help but look up, only to see that Lu Yuansong was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and even his hand was raised in the air, but due to some concerns, he didn't really put it down.

"Asshole, idiot!"

In the end, Lu Yuansong just cursed a few words, then turned around and walked towards the private room.

Lu Chen shrank back and stood there, feeling a little confused.

No, Dad, at least you have to tell me what to do now?

……

In the private room decorated in classical style, a glazed lamp hangs from high in the sky, making the entire room bright and warm.

Along with the faint sound of the piano, Lu Conglin's warm greetings were heard frequently.

"Come on, Mr. Zhou, everyone, come and try this 'Three Ways to Eat Dungeness Crab', this is his signature dish..."

Lu Conglin was probably stuck for time, so the kitchen served the dishes very quickly. All the dishes were in duplicate and placed symmetrically on both sides of the dining table, avoiding the embarrassment of turning the table to the greatest extent.

Although Zhou Wang was the guest of honor, he did not just focus on Zhou Wang, but tried his best to take care of the emotions of every guest at the table. Even with Su Yajing, Lu Conglin found several topics to chat with her, and his words were full of respect.

Zhou Wang couldn't help but sigh. Among his peers, Zhang Zhiyuan was already a leader in terms of social skills, but compared with Lu Conglin, he seemed so naive.

"Boss Lu, I really want to toast you with this glass of wine. If for no other reason, I am really comfortable living in the 'Eye of Spring'. I also want to toast you with this glass of wine..."

Seeing Lu Conglin raising his glass for the third time and about to say something to him, Zhou Wang quickly stopped him, raised his glass first, and spoke sincerely.

"Hahaha, fine. Our work has been recognized by President Zhou, so it's no problem to drink three cups, not to mention one... But President Zhou, I always feel like we're too distant like this."

"How do you say 'unfair'?"

Zhou Wang was stunned.

"Think about it, the house you live in was built by us, and the housekeeper serving you was sent by us. According to the law, this relationship between us must last at least 40 years. 40 years, many relatives can't even live for 40 years!"

Lu Conglin smiled with emotion and said, "So we are here from 'Boss Zhou' to 'Boss Lu'. Do you think we are getting estranged?"

Zhou Wang understood the meaning of the music and immediately said with a smile, "It's strange. If you don't mind, Mr. Lu, I will call you brother from now on."

"I've been waiting for this for a long time. Hahahaha, come on, brother, let's not talk about who's toasting to whom. Let's drink this together!"

When Lu Conglin laughed and clinked glasses with Zhou Wang, everyone at the table had different expressions.

Tang Yiming and Ruan Jinghong looked at each other, both feeling admiration and a little relieved.

Damn, Brother Gou has once again “super-added his generation”.

Fortunately, they are not Lu Conglin's juniors, otherwise they would probably end up like Master Zhang and have to call Zhou Wang "Uncle".

The video of "Young Master Zhang calling him uncle" shot by Guo Bing himself at the BSK party has become a permanent black material for Young Master Zhang. Although under Young Master Zhang's threat of risking his life, Guo Bing eventually withdrew the video from the group, but...

They all kept it quietly.

Just to save some face for Young Master Zhang, they pretended not to see it.

On the other side, Zhang Ruifeng, who was daydreaming, and Lu Chen, who was still nervous, both turned green in the face.

Especially Lu Chen, you and my second uncle are brothers, so what am I?
Lu Chen hadn't figured out what to do at this point, but seeing that Zhou Wang seemed to have really let him go, he decided to continue being an ostrich.

However, at this moment, when Zhou Wang and Lu Conglin put down their wine glasses, Lu Yuansong, who had been just chatting and laughing but had never taken the initiative to start a conversation, suddenly stood up with a wine dispenser.

"Mr. Zhou, you don't have to drink. Let me toast you first!" After saying that, before Zhou Wang could react, Lu Yuansong had already raised the wine dispenser filled with white wine and drank it all in one gulp.

A wine dispenser can hold two taels of wine. Lu Yuansong's sudden action not only stunned Zhou Wang, but also surprised everyone else at the table.

Perhaps because he drank too quickly, Lu Yuansong staggered and his face turned red instantly.

"dad……"

The flustered Lu Chen wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Lu Yuansong's stern look, so he could only freeze in place.

After taking a look at his son, Lu Yuansong turned to Zhou Wang and smiled again:
"Mr. Zhou, I have learned a little about the conflict between you and my son. Of course, it is possible that Lu Chen did not tell me the whole truth, but no matter what, I believe that the fault lies with him. This cup of wine is my apology for him. If you still feel that it is not enough, I will toast you another cup..."

After Lu Yuansong laughed at himself, he gritted his teeth, picked up the Moutai on the table, and was about to pour it into the wine dispenser.

No one else at the table said anything, including Lu Conglin who had no expression on his face. After Zhou Wang realized what was going on, he stood up with a smile and stopped Lu Yuansong who was pouring wine.

"Mr. Yuan, you are too kind."

Zhou Wang held Lu Yuansong's arm, thought for a moment and then said, "Lu Chen and I didn't have a good relationship in school before. We had some unpleasantness when we met last time. Later, some of his behaviors also caused me trouble. I don't shy away from this."

"Mr. Zhou..."

"Mr. Yuan, please wait for me to finish speaking."

Zhou Wang smiled and interrupted Lu Yuansong who was about to say something, "I'm not sure if I'm very magnanimous, but based on the sincerity of your glass of wine just now, I think all grudges should be put to rest."

"No, Mr. Zhou, although I don't know much about short videos, since Lu Chen spent money to cause trouble for you, he must have caused you losses. So, Mr. Zhou, you tell me a number and I will call you right now to compensate you for your losses..."

Lu Yuansong obviously didn't think Zhou Wang was telling the truth, so he quickly said solemnly: "Don't worry, just name your price, I won't bargain. Even if you want to sell your house or car, I, Lu Yuansong, will never say no!"

"Boss Yuan, although things are not quite the same as I imagined, I have to say that I actually didn't expect you to go to this extent..."

Zhou Wang sighed sincerely and looked at Lu Chen deeply:
"Lu Chen, you have a good father!"

Lu Chen opened his mouth but said nothing. He just lowered his head slightly to hide his suddenly blurry eyes.

dad……

Then, Zhou Wangcai turned to Lu Yuansong and said seriously: "Mr. Yuan, I am very grateful that you took care of my face so much. However, you may have misunderstood one thing. I really didn't come here to cause trouble for him today. It's just a little grudge, and it's okay to talk it out. Although I'm not that magnanimous, I'm not that petty either..."

"Mr. Zhou, what you mean is..."

After two attempts, Lu Yuansong was finally sure that Zhou Wang was not going to make things difficult for him, and his expression became confused.

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk!"

Zhou Wang greeted him first, and after Lu Yuansong sat down, Zhou Wang smiled and said:

"I wanted to talk about this after dinner, but since we've come to this point, I'll just come clean. Mr. Yuan, I'm not here for your son today, I'm here for you!"

"At me?"

Lu Yuansong became more and more stunned.

At this time, Lu Conglin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly pointed at Zhou Wang and laughed, "Haha, brother, I knew that you deliberately asked me to call Yuan Song because you had other intentions. Now your fox tail is finally exposed, right?"

Following Lu Conglin's joke, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly relaxed again.

Including the astonished Ruan Jinghong, Tang Yiming and others, they couldn't help but look at Zhou Wang curiously.

"Lao Ruan, Yiming, this matter actually has something to do with you."

Zhou Wang pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Brother Gou, what's going on? Don't keep me in suspense..."

Tang Yiming smiled bitterly.

"Look, I'm currently planning a project and I'm going to do something big."

Zhou Wang smiled while smoking a cigarette.

"big?"

Lu Conglin narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a smile: "How big is it?"

“A cultural tourism project with a total investment of more than 1 billion, and may even reach 10 billion in the future!”

At this time, it is important to take the initiative, so Zhou Wang spoke without hesitation.

After Zhou Wang finished speaking, he whispered something to Su Yajing who was standing beside him, and then Su Yajing stood up and left in a hurry.

Everyone else at the table was speechless for a moment, only people like Ruan Jinghong and Zhang Ruifeng had obvious expressions of shock on their faces.

If the person who said this was not Zhou Wang, they would definitely sneer and say, "Billions and hundreds of billions? Who do you think you are?"
But the person who said this was Zhou Wang.

A man who can casually spend hundreds of millions and buy properties everywhere as if he were buying vegetables.

A man who quietly became the third largest shareholder of Wuyou and the largest shareholder of BSK.

When he says these numbers, not only does it not sound awkward, it also gives people an inexplicable sense of conviction.

At this time, Lu Yuansong finally realized why Zhou Wang said that he was coming for him...

Because Yalong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., which is headed by Lu Yuansong, is a subsidiary of Yalong Real Estate that is specifically responsible for new project investment and development.

In other words, the cultural and tourism project mentioned by Zhou Wang must seek cooperation with Yalong Real Estate.

"Mr. Zhou, can you be more specific?"

Lu Yuansong couldn't help but sit up straight and become focused.

"Hold on."

Just at this time, Su Yajing came back with a large stack of documents in her hands.

Zhou Wang took the document from Su Yajing, flipped through it, and then distributed a document titled "Basic Information of Qingsha Miao Village in Your Province" to everyone.

"Take a look at this first, and then we'll talk."

Zhou Wang said with a smile.

While everyone was looking through the documents, Zhou Wang leaned back in his chair, and as he slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, his gaze became far-reaching.

All of this naturally originated from the [Business Plan] exchanged from the system store.

Or to be more precise, it came from a sudden thought that came to him a few days ago when he was daydreaming on the terrace.

Since we have decided to cooperate with Mr. Zhang to develop the Miao village, why not expand it a little bit and utilize all available resources?

Zhou Wang certainly had no confidence, but with the support of the system, he was not afraid of failure.

It can only be said that today's dinner party proposed by Zhou Wang, and he even specifically asked Lu Conglin to invite Lu Yuansong to the dinner, has something to do with Lu Chen, but not that much.

Although Zhou Wang could see from Lu Chen's personal information that Lu Yuansong was Lu Chen's father, this was not his main focus.

What he was more concerned about was that Lu Yuansong was in charge of the most critical department of Yalong Real Estate, and Yalong Real Estate had several successful cases in cultural and tourism development.

Everything is just right. By joining forces with Yalong Real Estate, and bringing in Lao Ruan, who has rich experience in the tourism industry and, according to Mr. Zhang, is looking for investment opportunities, and Tang Yiming, who has extensive connections in the southwest region, it can be said that all aspects are taken care of.

There is great potential in this matter.

Are you organizing a dinner party just to slap Lu Chen in the face?
Zhou Wangzhen is not that boring.

Lu Chen wasn't worth the fuss.

Taking this opportunity to combine his current connections in Yunnan Province and maximize the power of the system props... This is his real purpose.

As for warning Lu Chen, it could only be considered a side benefit at best.

Lying on the terrace looking at the stars that day, although it all started on a whim, the courage to take this step and try to lead a commercial project made Zhou Wang figure out many things in an instant.

So, a man’s growth may take a long time, or it may just happen in a moment.

Zhou Wang was like this that day. Lu Chen, who was tearful and clenching his fists tightly, and no one knew what he was thinking, was also like this...

　Oh shit, the third leader of this book is born.

　　I bow to thank the boss "Absolutely Free" for the 100000 coin reward!

　　A pleasant surprise. A pleasant surprise.

　　The boss is mighty, the boss is awesome, the boss has ten wives!!
　　(But this means I owe one more chapter, which is a headache...)
