Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 276: First Arrival (Update)
"Boss, boss?"

The light shouting sounded as if coming from the sky, floating hazily into Zhou Wang's ears.

His consciousness became very heavy, just like a drowning person struggling slowly up from a very deep place. Zhou Wang didn't know how much energy he had expended before he gradually saw the light above the water.

Finally, as Zhou Wang broke free, the shouting voice finally became clear, as if there was still a faint heat lingering around his ears.

Zhou Wang was nervous at first, but when he felt his own body, he felt relieved.

Raising his hand and tearing off the blindfold on his face, Zhou Wang turned around and saw Miao Ying squatting beside the bed, looking at him with worry in her eyes.

For a second, the face became illusory and overlapped with the beautiful face with blonde hair and blue eyes in his memory. As Zhou Wang blinked, everything became clear again. What was close at hand was still Miao Ying's heroic oval face.

Zhou Wang subconsciously reached out and put his arm around her shoulders.

The real feeling of the touch seemed to have made Zhou Wang find a landing point, and the perception of his whole body was quickly returning.

Miao Ying may have noticed Zhou Wang's strange mood. She did not resist Zhou Wang's behavior, but moved forward to make it easier for Zhou Wang to wrap his palm around her. She asked softly, "Boss, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..."

Zhou Wang finally felt relieved when he felt the firmness in his palm and confirmed that he had indeed returned to reality.

Just now, following the system's prompt, the rotation of the [Time Gear] ended. During the process of returning, Zhou Wang felt several times that he could not come back...

That subtle feeling made Zhou Wang, who was late to realize it, feel a little scared.

That should be the so-called "life-threatening danger" prompted by the system. You may not feel too scared at the time, just like suddenly waking up from a nightmare. You always have to think about it after a while before you feel that terrifying feeling.

"How long have I slept?"

Zhou Wang stretched out his other hand and gently rubbed his eyebrows while asking.

"It's been more than two hours. The plane will land in half an hour. I've been calling you for a long time, but you haven't woken up..."

"More than two hours?"

Zhou Wang thought about it for a while, and when he loaded the [Time Gear], he felt as if he had really spent such a long time, but in reality only two hours had passed. It was quite magical.

What is amazing is not only the time, but also the way those fragments of memory merge into one's mind.

Anyway, now that he has woken up, Zhou Wang feels as if he has really experienced those things in person. His memory of everyone is so clear: the top-ranking secretary from a prestigious family, the meticulous Chinese housekeeper, the professional bodyguards with an annual salary of tens of millions...

If I remember correctly, in the last attack, the bodyguard named Crimea seemed to have died.

Afterwards, I must have agreed to the proposal of the man named Wang Ruxi, and then began to prepare to return to China, and at the same time began to erase my shadow in Yunshang Trust.

If we only look at this part of [Memory Fragment], there are actually still many things that confuse Zhou Wang.

But Zhou Wang now roughly understood why [Kilan's Time Gear] had numbers. This may mean that there is more than one [Gear] storing the "Forgotten Time".

In addition to the [gear] numbered 006, there may also be gears numbered 001, 002... Perhaps all the [gears] have to be turned before everything can be connected together.

However, just using 006's [Time Gear] had allowed Zhou Wang to receive a lot of information.

Comparing the sudden increase in memories in his mind, Zhou Wang had too many things he wanted to confirm, but considering that he was on a plane at the moment, it was not that convenient, so he could only suppress his restless thoughts.

When Zhou Wang didn't say anything, Miao Ying didn't dare to move, but her cheeks were quietly turning red, because Zhou Wang's hand had slid to her waist again at some point, making her slightly breathless.

Zhou Wang came to his senses and found that he seemed to have strangled Miao Ying too tightly, so he quickly let her go and sat up.

"Let's go, get out first."

Miao Ying wanted to help Zhou Wang, but Zhou Wang stopped her, "I'm really fine."

When the two of them left the rear cabin and returned to the passenger cabin, not only did Jiang Yisen and Cui Yeqing look at them with ambiguous eyes, but Yun Lan also said something to Yun Rou, causing Yun Rou to glare at her, but she couldn't help but snickering with her head down.

Zhou Wang probably knew where their strange looks came from. After all, Miao Ying had been in the rear cabin with him for so long, and now she was coming out with her head down, not daring to look at others, which would inevitably lead to misunderstanding.

But Zhou Wang obviously didn't care about this. He just sat on the sofa, picked up the champagne on the table and poured himself a glass. After taking a sip, Zhou Wang was about to pick up the cigarette on the table, but Cui Yeqing came over, handed Zhou Wang a cigarette and lit it for him with a lighter.

"I don't know why Mr. Zhou went to Beidu. Can you tell me?"

“My girlfriend goes to school there.”

Zhou Wang knew that Cui Yeqing was just looking for a topic, so he didn't hide it and said with a faint smile.

Cui Yeqing was stunned at this time, mainly because when Zhou Wang opened his mouth, he suddenly discovered that Zhou Wang's temperament had changed a little.

This feeling is hard to describe, but Cui Yeqing, who is already sensitive in this regard, still caught it. It was only more than two hours, but Zhou Wang seemed... to have become more elusive.

There seemed to be a hint of coldness between his eyebrows, and a bit of a "superior" air. This kind of temperament had appeared in many important figures that Cui Yeqing had met, but each person expressed it in a different way.

It's not surprising to have such a temperament, but it has only been such a short time since Zhou Wang suddenly changed, which naturally made Cui Yeqing a little stunned.

"what happened?"

At this time, seeing that Cui Yeqing was slow to speak, Zhou Wang, who was somewhat puzzled, asked.

"Nothing... I just want to ask, Mr. Zhou, would you please leave me a business card?"

Cui Yeqing came back to his senses and asked with a smile.

Zhou Wang shook his head. "I'm sorry, I just ran out of business cards. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next time."

"Oh, that's okay, I'll just wait until next time..."

Cui Yeqing was not disappointed when he heard this. He came to Zhou Wang to talk to him because he didn't want to miss any possible customers. But Zhou Wang had "politely declined" to this extent, so there was no need for him to insist.

Zhou Wang looked at Cui Yeqing who got up and left, but was a little puzzled. Just because I don’t have a business card for you doesn’t mean I can’t add contact information. Why did this person just leave?
But Zhou Wang, who was still recalling the [memory fragment], did not think too much about it. He just looked at the clouds outside the window and murmured:

"Is it history that was forcibly changed by the system, or...it really happened, but my memory has been sealed?"

Somehow, Zhou Wang felt the "memory" becoming more and more vivid in his mind, and suddenly he felt a little uncertain.

……

At 6:22 pm, after more than three hours of flight, the Gulfstream G450 business jet landed at Beijing Daxing Airport.

Zhou Wang, who was visiting Beidu for the first time, looked out of the window with great interest when the plane landed. Unfortunately, Daxing Airport is located in the suburbs of Beidu. Looking from the sky, apart from the huge airport, there were farmlands and villages in the distance and nothing else could be seen.

At first glance, it feels very flat, which forms a sharp contrast with the complex terrain of Yunnan Province.

"Zhou Wang, where are you going? I'll take you there later!"

Jiang Yisen, who considered himself a landlord, spoke to Zhou Wang in a casual manner at this time.

"No need, there's a car coming to pick us up."

Zhou Wang just smiled at this.

"Oh, you don't have to be polite to me. You have to take our car out of the helipad anyway, so your friend won't have to trouble..."

I don’t know if it’s because they have reached the earth, but when Zhou Wang looked at Jiang Yisen again, the smell of the Beidu people suddenly came out of him.

"It's hard to refuse from my friend's side, we'll see when the time comes."

Zhou Wang could only laugh.

Jiang Yisen wanted to say something, but at this time, as the plane began to land, the stewardess came over to remind everyone to fasten their seat belts, and Jiang Yisen had no choice but to sit back. Soon, the plane landed on a runway at Daxing Airport. After the Gulfstream G450 came to a complete stop, everyone came to the cabin door under the guidance of the stewardess. The escalator of the plane had been lowered, and on the apron, a pure black Audi A6L was already waiting quietly.

Next to the Audi, a middle-aged driver wearing white gloves was standing with his hands behind his back. His sunglasses shielded his eyes, but his demeanor seemed very humble and he had an indescribable temperament.

"Manager Cui, why is there only one car? This five-seater sedan isn't enough for all of us."

Jiang Yisen wondered.

"Uh, this isn't our car... Look, that Mercedes is it."

Cui Yeqing was also a little confused. Just at this moment, he saw a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle approaching from a distance and quickly pointed in that direction.

"Then this car..."

While Jiang Yisen was stunned, the driver waiting next to the Audi had already walked over quickly and asked with a smile: "Who is Mr. Zhou Wang?"

"I'm."

Zhou Wang was actually a little surprised. Before taking off, he only told Ding Yi his approximate arrival time and did not say which flight he was taking. But he did not expect that the driver sent by Ding Yi would drive the car directly here.

In fact, his original intention was to ask Ding Yi to help him rent a car, but obviously, classmate Ding rejected his proposal and made his own arrangements.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I wonder how many people are traveling with you. If there are not enough seats, I will contact another car."

The middle-aged driver walked up and shook hands with Zhou Wang politely, then asked again.

"It should be just right, no need."

Zhou Wang glanced at the Audi car behind him, his eyes lingered on the passes in front of the window, and then he shook his head.

Then, Zhou Wang turned around and smiled at Jiang Yisen, "Thank you for taking me to Beidu. I'll leave first."

"Uh... OK."

Jiang Yisen, who was still a little dazed, subconsciously waved to Zhou Wang, and then watched Zhou Wang and the three girls get into the Audi. The driver nodded to Jiang Yisen and others, then sat in the driving seat. Soon, the Audi drove smoothly away from the apron.

"Mr. Jiang, what are you still looking at... We should also leave. The car that picks us up at the airport cannot stay for too long."

Cui Yeqing, who was standing by, saw that Jiang Yisen had not looked away for a long time, and asked in confusion.

Jiang Yisen came back to his senses at this time. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally couldn't help but said: "Didn't you see it?"

"See what?"

"Those passes in the front row of the Audi..."

"Pass?"

Cui Yeqing was stunned, and even more puzzled, "There are so many government agencies and compounds in the northern capital, and passes are required everywhere. Isn't it normal to put a few passes in the car?"

"That depends on where the pass is from!"

Jiang Yisen smacked his lips and whispered, "Let me tell you this, even though it's just an Audi A6, with those passes, if this car is driving on the street, anyone with any sense will have to give way..."

"real or fake?"

Cui Yeqing was not an ignorant person. He could infer something from Jiang Yisen's shock. After being surprised, he finally reacted, "Boss Jiang, do you mean that the person who sent the car to pick up Boss Zhou is not simple?"

"It's more than just difficult..."

Jiang Yisen waved his hand and said nothing more, but muttered: "I really don't understand it more and more. Didn't Zhou Wang say that this was his first time in Beidu? How could he have such a friend?"

……

"I'll call my brother first to see if he has time. But I think you shouldn't hold out too much hope, Lao Cui. My brother is really busy. You might have to wait in Beidu for two days."

In a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle traveling along the airport highway toward the city, Jiang Yisen took out his cell phone and spoke to Cui Yeqing beside him.

"Understood, of course, it's based on Mr. Jiang's time!"

Cui Yeqing responded quickly.

While Jiang Yisen was contacting his brother, Cui Yeqing thought of what Jiang Yisen had just said and felt something in his heart.

Since he had been waiting for a long time, Cui Yeqing took out his mobile phone and clicked on an app called "Zongheng Sihai".

This app was developed by their Feitian General Aviation Company itself, modeled after the civil aviation's "Air Travel", but it is mainly aimed at the small group of people who have charter flight needs.

Up to now, the number of users is pretty average, or half-dead, but this app has another practical use, which is to serve as a channel for internal employees to look up company information.

For example, some less popular models, as well as lists of major customers that need maintenance and detailed information can all be found on it.

After logging in with his fingerprint, Cui Yeqing selected the "internal query" function and then entered the name "Zhou Wang".

The reason was that he had just thought about it and thought that if he had seen Zhou Wang's name somewhere but had no impression of him, he might be on the "customer list".

In fact, Cui Yeqing was just thinking of giving it a try. After all, Zhou Wang had already said that he really didn't have the ability to buy a private jet, and he didn't even own a helicopter. So theoretically, his name couldn't appear on the "customer list".

However, Cui Yeqing has always been confident in his memory, and he was unwilling to give up until he figured out where he had heard Zhou Wang's name.

After clicking "OK", the phone screen started to spin in circles and there was no response.

"Damn it, are the maintenance people being lazy again? Why is it so slow even to look up some information..."

Cui Yeqing complained in his heart while waiting boredly.

After dozens of seconds, the "query" finally produced a result, but what surprised Cui Yeqing was that the result was not a list of related links, but a prompt box:

"You are querying encrypted information. Please confirm that your identity level is K9 or above. Please click 'Continue' to verify your identity."

This is……

Cui Yeqing was stunned and his heart beat faster. Generally speaking, if you search for "no results", this dialog box will not pop up.

Fortunately, after Cui Yeqing was promoted to deputy director of the marketing department some time ago, his job level just met the requirement, so driven by strong curiosity, Cui Yeqing quickly verified his face.

This time, the results of the "query" were finally fully displayed.

"Fuck!"

After seeing the information on the mobile phone screen clearly, Cui Yeqing was stunned for a moment, then he sat up straight.
