Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 289: No Light (asking for monthly ticket)

A gorgeous chandelier made up of crystal balls of different sizes hung from the ceiling, illuminating the dazzling array of delicious dishes on the rectangular dining table.

Brittany blue lobster tail, Iberian pork tenderloin, caramelized foie gras pudding, Angus grain-fed beef sashimi...

Regardless of how it tastes, the unique way of presenting Western food has made the combination of delicacies on the table present an extremely attractive visual effect.

The decanted white wine was produced from the Eim Winery in Mosel, Germany. It was known as the ceiling of "Riesling". When the restaurant first opened, there were only three bottles of this white wine, which was sold at a price of 12 yuan per bottle. They were Liao Jianli's personal collection, but they also appeared on the main dining table at this time.

Wang Ruxi, who was sitting in the main seat, waved his hand to reject the cigar handed to him by Cao Meijuan, "I don't smoke, thank you."

He has a serious temperament, and when he is not smiling, he gives people an inexplicable pressure. Cao Meijuan thinks that she has a wide range of friends in the Beidu circle, and talking to people in a proper way has become an instinct for her. But when facing Wang Ruxi, she can't help but feel a little restrained.

Sitting at this table were the people with the highest status today. In addition to Wang Ruxi, there were also Jin Lu, the director of Syllable Jump, Zhou, the deputy director of China Channel, and several other influential industry figures in Beidu who had just arrived.

They all came for Wang Ruxi. Yunshang Trust is not well-known outside, but there are always some people who have come into contact with the tip of the iceberg or vaguely know Wang Ruxi's background.

Among these people are a vice president from the Beidu Chamber of Commerce, a minister from the China Banking Regulatory Commission, and so on.

Seeing these people, Cao Meijuan and Wang Yaolong were even more secretly delighted, because these people's connections were difficult for them to access on a normal day.

However, these people, who normally could only look up to him because of their status and position, were all very polite to Wang Ruxi. Until then, Cao Meijuan and Wang Yaolong dared to believe that what Liao Jianli said might be true, and that the man before them was really capable of helping Qiangsheng Real Estate overcome its business crisis.

Most of the people present were foxes who had become spirits. When others saw this scene, even if they didn't know what "Cloud Trust" was, they basically understood why Liao Jianli's attitude towards Wang Ruxi was full of awe...

Unfortunately, there were limited seats at the main dining table, and Cao Meijuan and Wang Yaolong took the lead because of their proximity. They could only come over with wine glasses at certain intervals, trying to leave a superficial impression on Wang Ruxi while chatting and laughing.

"Boss Wang, is it not to your taste? I see you haven't touched your knife and fork yet?"

Liao Jianli, who had been accompanying Wang Ruxi the whole time, saw that Wang Ruxi had not eaten a single bite of food. He could not help but ask in a low voice, "How about I ask the kitchen..."

"Need not."

Wang Ruxi waved his hand, "I don't have much appetite today."

Seeing Wang Ruxi say this, Liao Jianli had no choice but to give up. However, no one knew that under Wang Ruxi's calm and serious appearance, he actually felt somewhat helpless.

He had actually been hungry for a long time. He was used to living abroad, so he could eat Western food. There was no question of whether it suited his taste or not...

But the problem was that Zhou Wang, who was standing next to the stage, had obviously not eaten yet. How could he sit here and enjoy his meal? This was against the rules.

So Wang Ruxi could only bear it.

"Has the performance of that college band ended yet?"

Seeing that the band members on the stage had left one after another, Wang Ruxi asked Liao Jianli who was standing beside him.

"Wait a minute and I'll ask."

Liao Jianli quickly waved and called the restaurant manager over. After some understanding, he said, "Boss Wang, it's over for now, but according to the arrangement, they will have one more performance at the end of the dinner..."

When the dinner is over?
Upon hearing this, Wang Ruxi frowned and couldn't help muttering in his heart, would Mr. Zhou also have to wait at the stage until the dinner is over? Then would he have to stay hungry too?

Seeing that Wang Ruxi looked different, Liao Jianli asked tentatively, "Mr. Wang, do you still want to continue watching the band's performance? I can arrange it..."

Before Wang Ruxi could say anything, suddenly, an extremely shrill scream came from somewhere in the restaurant, causing everyone to turn their heads in surprise.

Then, there was a faint sound of angry cursing, and then everyone saw the restaurant manager and several security guards running in that direction.

The guests who realized what was going on were curiously looking around when another low voice from the surround sound system suddenly resounded throughout the restaurant:

"Wang Ruxi!"

The sound was not loud, but mixed with the penetrating power of top-level speakers, it seemed to explode in everyone's hearts, startling everyone and making them look up in confusion.

Who is it that calls Mr. Wang by his name in this way?

And if they heard correctly, the voice seemed to be full of anger.

The others were in doubt, but amid the stunned looks of the people at the main table, Wang Ruxi suddenly stood up and responded subconsciously, "Yes!"

After realizing what was happening, Wang Ruxi's face changed. He suddenly supported himself on the back of the chair and jumped flexibly. He came to the aisle and then walked hurriedly towards the stage.

"plum!"

As he walked over, Wang Ruxi called out softly, and a man in a black suit appeared from somewhere, walked past Wang Ruxi, and quickly disappeared into the corridor.

No one knew what happened, but the sudden explosion and faint screams coming from a certain direction caused a commotion in the restaurant.

Wang Ruxi's movements were so fast and agile that he didn't look like a middle-aged man at all. As a result, when Liao Jianli reacted, he saw his back disappearing around the corner.

"Mr. Wang..."

Bewildered, Liao Jianli quickly followed.

"The scolding just now seemed to be Xiaojie's voice..."

Cao Meijuan glanced around and didn't see her son, her face changed slightly. She quickly said something to Wang Yaolong, and then the two of them ran over there.

Deputy Director Zhou, Director Jin Lu and others were all shocked, but they certainly couldn't continue to sit still. When the people at the main table moved, the guests who had been paying attention to the developments here naturally realized that something big might have happened. They stood up curiously and gathered towards the stage.

……

Zhou Wang didn't see clearly what flew out of Sisi's eyes. He only saw that after the slap, Sisi's left and right pupils became obviously asymmetrical, and her other eye suddenly became dull and cross-eyed.

Not to mention Zhou Wang, even Lele beside him was startled... Jimei, what's wrong with your eyes?

Sisi, who was covering her face, was a little confused at first. After a moment of daze, she suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream.

"Jiang Mo, you...you hit me?!"

Sisi's eyes widened in disbelief.

They grew up together. Others may not understand, but Sisi is very familiar with Jiang Mo's personality.

Sisi still remembers that when she was in elementary school, Jiang Mo was bullied by other female classmates. She didn't even dare to complain. She just huddled in the corner of the classroom and cried and cried.

And how timid was this woman...she didn't even dare to cry out loud.

This is the Jiang Mo in Sisi’s impression.

She seems aloof and unapproachable on the outside, but her actual personality is introverted and timid.

This is also the biggest reason why Sisi didn't care too much and dared to gossip in front of Wang Feiyu.

Not to mention that Jiang Mo's family has gone bankrupt, even if it hadn't gone bankrupt, she wouldn't have any scruples...

But at this moment, Jiang Mo's cold eyes looking at her made her feel so strange.

Wang Feiyu, who was standing by, finally reacted at this time, his face full of shock and anger.

Even though Jiang Mo was a girl, the slap on his face couldn't have been very strong, but he still felt a burning pain. Under the strange gazes of Wang Ying and others, this burning pain spread to his heart.

"Qu Jie!"

Wang Feiyu, who thought he knew the truth and was already in a bad mood, completely lost his composure at this moment and shouted with a ferocious face.

The dazed Qu Jie finally came to his senses, his face became extremely gloomy. He picked up the intercom in his hand and called the restaurant manager and security.

As for Zhou Wang, seeing that the situation was out of control, he pulled the senior sister to his side, took out the [blindfold] to prevent any accidents, and immediately made what he thought was the most correct decision...

"Wang Ruxi!"

A low shout mixed with anger spread throughout the restaurant through the microphone taken from Wang Ying.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Zhou Wang didn't know whether his rash interaction with Wang Ruxi at this time would have any impact on the progress of the [Hidden Round], but he couldn't care less.

Under the connection of the [Soul Contract], only he could feel the turbulent heart beneath the calm appearance of the senior sister at this moment——

Brother Gou... is very angry.

"Are you fucking sick?"

When they heard Zhou Wang calling out Wang Ruxi's name, Qu Jie, Wang Feiyu and Lele were all panicked for a moment.

He was the most distinguished guest present today, and even his parents had to rack their brains to curry favor with him. In fact, the reason they appeared here was just to let the band continue performing to please Mr. Wang, and the humiliation of Zhou Wang and Jiang Mo was secondary.

Who would have thought that Zhou Wang would flip the table right here...

Obviously, they didn't know what would happen to Zhou Wang after disturbing Mr. Wang, but they themselves would inevitably be implicated.

In just a moment, they realized Zhou Wang's "sinister intentions".

"Fuck, Zhou Wang, do you think yelling like this will work?"

Qu Jie couldn't help but curse, "Who the hell are you? Do you think President Wang will pay attention to you?"

At this time, chaotic footsteps sounded at the end of the corridor. The first to appear were the restaurant manager and a team of tall and strong security guards.

"Quick, control them!"

Lele pointed at Zhou Wang and Jiang Mo and said loudly, then turned to Qu Jie and said, "I'll go explain to Brother Liao..."

Lele said this and turned around and walked quickly towards the hall.

Seeing that it was the half-boss lady who spoke, the restaurant manager who arrived at the scene immediately waved his hand and signaled several security guards to act quickly.

When Zhou Wang frowned, another man in a suit appeared in his sight. He was thin but swift as the wind. He stepped on the dining table on the side and flew several meters with just a few steps. With a "pop", he landed steadily in front of Zhou Wang.

The movements were so smooth and neat that not only the people present but even the security guards who rushed over were stunned.

Are you fucking filming a movie here?
While falling, the man picked up a fork from the sideboard. When he stood firm, he bowed slightly to Zhou Wang, and then stood silently in front of Zhou Wang and Jiang Mo.

That not-so-tall figure gave Zhou Wang an incomparable sense of security at that moment.

This is Wang Ruxi's man...

Zhou Wang relaxed after realizing the truth, but then he felt a little jealous.

Damn it, why don't I have such a handsome bodyguard...

I am obviously the leader.

Unfortunately, Zhou Wang never actually saw the man take action. Before the security guards came over, Wang Ruxi's figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

Lele, who was walking out, stopped. Qu Jie and Wang Feiyu, who were a little confused by the man in a suit who fell from the sky, also became at a loss in an instant.

No one expected that after Zhou Wang shouted, Wang Ruxi actually appeared... and appeared so quickly.

"Boss Wang, what are you doing..."

Lele quickly forced a smile that she thought was charming and wanted to say something.

But Wang Ruxi ignored him and just looked past a few people. When he saw Zhou Wang safe and sound at the end of the corridor, he completely relaxed and moved his hand that was originally on his waist away without a sound.

His face was still serious, but under his suit where no one could see, cold sweat had already soaked his back...

At that moment, the tension of being in a hail of bullets abroad came back to haunt him.

No, it might even be scarier.

Because as far as Wang Ruxi could remember, he had almost never heard Zhou Wang sound so out of control.

When Wang Ruxi looked up, Zhou Wang's eyes met his.

Under the bright light, Wang Ruxi had a questioning look on his face.

It was really strange. In theory, this was the "first meeting" between Zhou Wang and him, but somehow, with just a glance from the other party, Zhou Wang understood what he meant, as if the two of them naturally had a very high degree of tacit understanding.

This subtle feeling made Zhou Wang feel a little weird... Who the hell wants to have such a telepathic connection with a grown man?
But the advantage of this is that it saves the process of language. With just a few brief eye contact exchanges, the two people have understood what each other wanted to express.

With Wang Ruxi's intelligence, he was able to guess what had happened with just a glance, so he asked Zhou Wang what to do and whether to follow the original plan.

Zhou Wang didn’t know what the so-called “original plan” was, but he could probably guess that it was related to his hidden identity, so Zhou Wang signaled Wang Ruxi to wait a moment.

Da da da!
At this time, there was another chaotic sound of footsteps. Liao Jianli, Cao Meijuan, Wang Yaolong, and other guests present all rushed over.

There is definitely not enough room for people to stand in the aisle, but fortunately, in order to make the space appear spacious, the Western restaurant has an open design. Even if you stand at a nearby seat, you can clearly see the scenery in the aisle.

Some people even ran directly onto the stage and looked over here curiously, such as Lin Dantong and Wang Xiaoxiao, who Zhou Wang was familiar with.

The Chinese people's love of joining in the fun was fully demonstrated at this moment, even though those present were already "upper class" in the general sense.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou?"

"Mr. Zhou!"

Several exclamations immediately came from the crowd, coming from several people who already knew Zhou Wang.

Mr. Zhou, what Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou something... Who are they calling?
Qu Jie, Wang Feiyu, Sisi, Yueyue and others were all a little confused for a moment.

Liao Jianli, Cao Meijuan and others were a little confused about the situation at the scene, but they could see that some dispute must have occurred here. After all, the security guards showed up, Sisi's hair looked a little disheveled, and Wang Yaolong also noticed his son's abnormality at the first time.

"Xiaoyu, what happened to your face? Who did it?"

Wang Yaolong's expression changed slightly and he asked in a deep voice.

Wang Feiyu's face turned unnatural, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. At this time, Qu Jie came out and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, Boss Liao, Mom, why are you all here... It's really nothing, just two outsiders making a fuss here, we can handle it ourselves..."

"Brother Liao, you have to make the decision for Sisi..."

When Wang Yaolong and Cao Meijuan asked their son about the situation, Lele saw Liao Jianli appear, ran over and threw himself into his arms, telling his story in a wronged tone. Sisi, who was standing beside him, cooperated and wiped away her tears.

As Liao Jianli listened, his brows furrowed. What a mess!

But when he realized that this was just a quarrel and a farce between a few little girls, Liao Jianli became a little annoyed.

He looked up at the young man standing at the end of the corridor, holding the hand of the beautiful girl.

Originally, Liao Jianli planned to contact Zhou Wang after the dinner. After all, they were from the same hometown. Although the other party seemed to be here to pick up girls and had not greeted him in advance, he still had to maintain some politeness for the sake of face.

But since Zhou Wang was one of the parties involved, Liao Jianli obviously could no longer ignore him.

So, he was the one who called out Mr. Wang's name just now? Liao Jianli was not sure how Zhou Wang knew Wang Ruxi's name, or when he had met Wang Ruxi before, but after taking a look at Wang Ruxi's gloomy face, Liao Jianli seemed to sense Wang Ruxi's displeasure at the moment.

Listening to Lele's "accusation", Liao Jianli felt a little annoyed. Zhou Wang was making a fuss about nothing. Even if you felt that your girlfriend had been wronged, did you have to shout Wang Ruxi's name in public to attract everyone's attention?

Furthermore, Liao Jianli thought that Zhou Wang knew that this was his territory. If he had any problem, he could just come to me directly. Why did he have to embarrass everyone...

But no matter what, Liao Jianli obviously couldn't let this inexplicable farce continue, so Liao Jianli first smiled and nodded at Wang Ruxi, then quickly walked forward and greeted Zhou Wang lightly.

"Mr. Zhou, we meet again."

At this time, after hearing Liao Jianli's address to Zhou Wang, Qu Jie and Wang Feiyu finally confirmed that they were not hallucinating. They looked at each other and saw the disbelief and nervousness in each other's eyes.

Isn’t this Zhou Wang a country bumpkin from another place? How did he become “Mr. Zhou” and how did he know Liao Jianli?
"he is?"

Wang Yaolong and Cao Meijuan, who were standing by, were also a little puzzled, so they asked Liao Jianli in a low voice.

"Zhou Wang and I are from the same hometown. We met once in Yunnan Province not long ago..."

So Liao Jianli gave a brief explanation, and the people who were listening attentively finally learned Zhou Wang's identity.

When people learned that Zhou Wang was actually a successful young entrepreneur and a wealthy man with assets worth over 100 million, their reactions were mixed.

Qu Jie and Wang Feiyu kept exclaiming “OMG!”, and recalling the meeting in the restaurant, they couldn’t help but curse inwardly… Damn, this guy played me.

Yueyue in the band was stunned for a moment. Jiang Mo’s boyfriend was so rich?

Sisi was suddenly enlightened, but also felt extremely jealous... How could she immediately find such a capable buyer when Jiang Mo's family just went bankrupt, and most importantly, he was young and handsome?

When Sisi realized that the "rumors" about Jiang Mo in Han Yanqian's mouth might really be just rumors, she became more and more indignant.

However, although they were surprised, neither Qu Jie nor Wang Feiyu felt any fear...

Billionaire?

In Beidu, I wonder how many billionaires will be knocked down by a single brick!
Their confidence came from the fact that after Wang Yaolong and Cao Meijuan learned of Zhou Wang's identity, although they were surprised, they did not show any fear.

It’s still the same reason… This is Beidu, their home ground.

At the same time, everyone suddenly realized that since Zhou Wang was also from a wealthy class, it was not surprising that he knew Wang Ruxi's name.

After Liao Jianli finished his brief explanation and looked back, Zhou Wang spoke for the first time.

"Hello, Mr. Liao."

He was cold, and Zhou Wang's expression was even colder than his.

Liao Jianli frowned, trying to suppress his discomfort, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Zhou, I already know what happened. Although you came uninvited, since you are here, you are a guest. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality. But... can you cooperate with us first so that we can solve the problem, so as not to affect today's dinner?"

"Boss Liao, let me hear how you want to solve this matter?"

Zhou Wang asked calmly.

What does "Listen to this" mean?
The condescending tone made not only Liao Jianli, but also Wang Yaolong and others standing by frown... What an arrogant young man.

“It’s not that complicated.”

Liao Jianli tried to maintain his composure, but his voice unconsciously dropped. "Mr. Zhou, you and your girlfriend should apologize to Sisi and the others, and give them some appropriate financial compensation. As we are from the same hometown, I will mediate and let this matter go. What do you think..."

"For the sake of our fellow countrymen."

Zhou Wang interrupted Liao Jianli and repeated his words, then muttered to himself, "I am here for the sake of our fellow countrymen, but unfortunately... I am a little disappointed."

While Liao Jianli was stunned, Zhou Wang turned around and looked at Jiang Mo who had been staying quietly beside him.

"Senior, will you forgive them?"

Jiang Mo raised his head and looked towards Zhou Wang.

Her eyes had been deep for a long time, but at this moment they were slightly disturbed. She stared at Zhou Wang, then shook her head slightly but firmly.

"She said I was making money, making your money...but husband, I'm not."

The senior’s voice was so small and soft, but only Zhou Wang heard her anger and grievance.

At this moment, Zhou Wang suddenly understood why Jiang Mo was so angry that he took action...

It turned out that what she felt wronged about was not her reputation, but the softest place in the deepest part of her heart.

No matter how her relationship with Zhou Wang started, Jiang Mo herself never thought that there was only "material" involved.

She may not be smart, she may be very cowardly. On that rooftop where the summer night breeze was blowing, she once took off her pants and stepped half a foot into the abyss, but in the end she did not step out!

Rather than saying that Zhou Wang kissed her with money, it would be more accurate to say that it was the book that she placed on the seat opposite her on her own initiative in that corner of the library that opened her heart.

She is a fallen angel, but in her heart... she still has her own redemption, which cannot be desecrated.

Zhou Wang couldn't express his emotions at that moment, he just felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

What he wanted to do most now was to immediately book a flight for Jiang Mo to go home for the New Year, directly to Jingcheng... Oh, there was no airport in Jingcheng.

Zhou Wang closed his eyes to prevent his emotions from bursting out. He knew there was no need to wait any longer.

"Wang Ruxi."

So Zhou Wang called out Wang Ruxi's name for the second time.

When Liao Jianli and the guests present were a little confused, Wang Ruxi, who had been silent, suddenly straightened his back.

"I'm here."

Wang Ruxi's voice was not loud, but it was like a roar, exploding in Liao Jianli's heart.

He is...he is there?
What does this mean? What does this mean?
Extreme astonishment and sudden fear overwhelmed Liao Jianli's heart at this moment.

"You heard it. My wife said... no forgiveness."

Zhou Wang looked at Wang Ruxi and got a slight nod from him.

Zhou Wang didn’t know Wang Ruxi that well, and he didn’t know whether Wang Ruxi could handle it, but at this moment, he chose to believe him.

If Wang Ruxi is not able to do it, then he will use [Graves' Beret].

I have a cheat!

Zhou Wang’s idea is that simple.

After saying this, in full view of everyone, Zhou Wang had already taken Jiang Mo's hand and turned to walk out of the restaurant.

After walking a few steps, Zhou Wang suddenly remembered something. He stopped, turned around to look at Qu Jie and Wang Feiyu who were still a little unresponsive, and then nodded at them.

"Hey!"

"Actually, you could have called me 'Uncle'..."

"?"

Zhou Wang shook his head and said a few words. Under the confused eyes of Qu Jie and Wang Feiyu, he had already pulled Jiang Mo's hand and walked towards the restaurant door.

The corridor was full of people. At the entrance of the restaurant, Deputy Director Zhou from Huaxia TV was standing there.

Zhou Wang noticed him because he looked at him strangely, so Zhou Wang also looked at him.

This glance made Deputy Director Zhou lower his head subconsciously, but at the moment when he saw Zhou Wang's appearance clearly, he was filled with turmoil in his heart -

About a year ago, Director Zhou was not yet the director, but worked in a certain external department. At that time, he was secretly involved in a project code-named "No Light".

The word "Wu Guang" comes from the ancient Taoist book "Dun Jia Zhong Jing", the original text is:
"Avoid the turbulent times, live in famous mountains, and live without worries. On the Dingmao day of the first lunar month, it is called the time of Yin De, also known as the heart of heaven. You can hide away. It is said that the sun will sink in the daytime, the sun and the moon will lose their light, and people and ghosts cannot see you."

Lao Zhou was not aware of the entire content of the plan. At his level, he was only responsible for a few small parts of it.

But this did not prevent Lao Zhou from knowing who the protagonist of the plan was. He actually did not know Zhou Wang's name. It was not until this moment, when he saw the young man who had only appeared in the information, that his memory began to overlap with reality...

And Wang Ruxi was once one of the hosts of the "No Light" project.

It was precisely because the plan was successfully completed that Lao Zhou was able to be promoted smoothly. Although he was transferred from his original department, he was able to come to Hua Xia TV, which was the place he most wanted to come to when he was young.

When it was confirmed that Zhou Wang was the young man in the plan, coupled with the brief conversation between him and Wang Ruxi just now, Deputy Director Zhou realized something and began to retreat...

He knew he couldn't stay here any longer.

When he looked up, he saw that someone like the vice president of the Beidu Business Federation had already walked into the hall before him.

"Old fox!"

After cursing inwardly, Deputy Director Zhou thought for a moment before leaving, then poked Director Jin Lu, who was whispering with Qi Lingtong, and made a "leave" gesture to him.

……

Wang Yaolong and Cao Meijuan didn't feel as clearly as Liao Jianli did. While they were still confused, Liao Jianli, whose face changed drastically, looked at Wang Ruxi:

"Boss Wang, I, I don't understand, what exactly is going on between you and Boss Zhou..."

Wang Yaolong and Cao Meijuan were both a little stunned. With Liao Jianli's demeanor, he actually stuttered at this moment.

What's up with him?
Wang Ruxi kept watching Zhou Wang disappear at the side door of the restaurant, then he withdrew his gaze and looked at Liao Jianli.

"Mr. Zhou, he's my friend... a very good friend."

This sentence was a bit strange, Wang Yaolong and Cao Meijuan even felt puzzled -

No, Mr. Wang, since you and Zhou Wang are friends, why didn’t you say it earlier?

Only Liao Jianli had cold sweat on his forehead.

At this moment, his memory seemed to go back to a year ago. At that time, Qiangsheng Real Estate was in trouble due to a broken capital chain, and Liao Jianli was desperate and even had thoughts of suicide.

Until one day, Wang Ruxi sat in front of Liao Jianli, who was drunk in a small bar.

"I can help you."

Wang Ruxi handed a business card with the four big characters "Yunshang Trust" printed on it to Liao Jianli and said so.

A year later, Qiangsheng Real Estate came back to life and even became one of the most famous real estate groups in Beidu.

Looking back now, the entire process seems like a dream because everything went so smoothly.

The nearly omnipotent means demonstrated by "Cloud Trust" made Liao Jianli respect it like a god from then on.

That day, he also asked Wang Ruxi why he wanted to help him. At that time, Wang Ruxi just smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table and clinked it with him, and asked:

"You are from Yunnan Province, right?"

"right……"

"That's enough."

"Ok?"

"My boss is also from Yunnan Province, so let's just... make friends."

At that time, Liao Jianli just thought that Wang Ruxi was joking, so he didn't take it seriously. After a year, the details of the conversation had long been blurred. It was not until he heard the word "friend" that he suddenly remembered this forgotten conversation.

Wait!
The boss of Yunshang Trust is from Yunnan Province... Zhou Wang is also from Yunnan Province... Could it be that... Zhou Wang is the descendant or relative of the boss of Yunshang Trust?
This seemed to easily explain Zhou Wang's history of "starting from scratch", which was also the only thing he was curious about this young man before...

At this moment, because of the sudden recollection, Liao Jianli suddenly realized something and his face changed drastically.

What stupid thing did I do just now!
But Cao Meijuan and Wang Yaolong, who were standing by, obviously had no idea what was going on in his mind. They still couldn't understand why Liao Jianli suddenly started to perform "Sichuan Opera Face Changing"...

"Boss Wang, it turns out that you and Boss Zhou are also friends. Then what happened... Lao Liao, how could you let Boss Zhou really leave like this?"

Cao Meijuan's mind was quicker. She thought Liao Jianli was embarrassed, so she quickly smiled and tried to smooth things over. "Old Liao, why don't you go and call Mr. Zhou back? I'll ask Xiaoyu and the others to toast Mr. Zhou and quickly resolve the misunderstanding!"

"That's right... Xiaojie, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and ask the kitchen to prepare a new table of food and get another bottle of Imurule!"

Wang Yaolong also quickly joined in with a laugh.

Qu Jie on the side was a little dissatisfied. Why did it become us who toasted Zhou Wang?
But this change obviously came from Wang Ruxi. Qu Jie didn't dare to say anything. He could only respond and quickly go to greet the restaurant manager.

Lele, who was standing by, was still unaware. He just took Sisi's hand and walked to Liao Jianli, who was still stunned, and muttered, "Brother Liao, do you really want us to apologize to Zhou Wang? Can we go first? I want to take Sisi to the hospital..."

Snapped!
"what!"

Lele was stunned by Liao Jianli's sudden slap in the face. Blood was oozing from her face, but Lele didn't even dare to cry out loud as she covered her face, because she had never seen Liao Jianli with such a ferocious expression.

The usually gentle and refined businessman, at this moment, glared at her viciously, as if he wanted to peel off her skin and eat her flesh...

Having vented a little of his inner emotions, Liao Jianli no longer cared to argue with this bitch. He just quickly put on a smile that was uglier than crying and looked at Wang Ruxi.

"Boss Wang, can we discuss this further?"

"Hold on."

Wang Ruxi just said this calmly, then walked to the dining table nearby, pulled out a chair and sat down.

He rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, although he claimed he didn't smoke. He then took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and took a deep puff.

The smoke made Wang Ruxi's facial features look darker, and it seemed as if it was an illusion for several people. The light in the restaurant also seemed to be much dimmer.

After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Wang Ruxi glanced at Liao Jianli, whose expression could no longer conceal his panic, and said softly to comfort him:

"It's okay. I won't let you starve to death."

　This chapter has been revised.

Don’t worry, there won’t be too many things that cannot be written about. This is just a foreshadowing to make the subsequent pretentious behaviors of the male protagonist reasonable.

If it is really involved, I will only write briefly about it later.
