Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 311: Red and Black of the Top Club
The “Golden Orb” is here again?

Zhou Wang glanced at the system's prompt in a daze. However, compared to this easy reward, he actually liked the system's motto -

“A flower that has not yet bloomed can bloom in ten thousand ways.”

Of course, Zhou Wang didn't think he was a saint. If he analyzed it rationally, it was probably because Xu Lingyue's attraction to him was far from reaching the point where he needed to sacrifice his morality...

In addition to the past connection, Zhou Wang was willing to show some goodwill.

You see, he treats Ji Xiaoxi a little differently.

However, that was also based on the fact that Zhou Wang believed that the other party would be much happier with him than with Chen He.

That is not blasphemy, that is salvation...

As he thought about it, Zhou Wang became happy again. If that was the case, then I was actually a good person.

As there didn't seem to be any hardcore demand for the time being, Zhou Wang was not in a hurry to open the [Golden Orb]. There were still several props in his warehouse that had not been used, such as [Caroline's Stockings], [Wang Ruxi's Cigarette Case], etc.

After pressing the elevator button, Zhou Wang quickly arrived at the first floor, where he met Huang Duming who was waiting in the lobby.

"Mr. Zhou, your car keys..."

He took the car keys and stopped when Huang Duming looked at him again. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, Mr. Zhou. I just want to confirm with you. When I go to handle the property registration tomorrow, should I contact Miss Qi directly?"

"Ah."

"Okay then, Mr. Zhou, take care."

Only after walking a distance did Zhou Wang shake his head thoughtfully.

Judging from the previous appearance, Xu Lingyue and Huang Duming obviously knew each other. He estimated that when Xu Lingyue ran out just now, Huang Duming might have seen something, but there was no doubt...

If Huang Duming had dared to mention Xu Lingyue just now, Zhou Wang would never have hired him again.

Fortunately, this kid was quite smart and adjusted his attitude in time... The question he asked was obviously nonsense, which showed that he must have been thinking about other things at the time.

He strolled to the door of 1, Building 101. Outside the gate, Qiu Zeyu, who was wearing a casual suit and was half as handsome as Zhou Wang, was already waiting there.

"Mr. Qiu!"

Hearing Zhou Wang's call, Qiu Zeyu, who was looking outside, turned around in surprise.

"Mr. Zhou? Why are you coming from this direction?"

Qiu Zeyu was a little confused. It looked like Zhou Wang had just walked out of the building...

"When I came here, I thought this neighborhood was nice, so I bought a suite. I just finished the formalities and came down directly from upstairs."

Zhou Wang smiled.

Qiu Zeyu was startled, then burst into laughter, "Mr. Zhou is really humorous... But I do know a few owners who have more than one house. If Mr. Zhou really wants to buy a house here, I can introduce you to some."

Seeing that Qiu Zeyu didn't believe him, Zhou Wang could only shrug his shoulders. There was nothing he could do. These days, no one would believe the truth.

"Let's go in first... I originally thought you wouldn't be here until after nine o'clock, but now it seems that we two may be the first to arrive besides the owner of the house."

Qiu Zeyu called Zhou Wang, walked to the gate and rang the doorbell.

According to general rules, distinguished guests have to be late. This is not just to show off, but also to give the host more time to prepare.

Qiu Zeyu himself tends to follow this rule, but when he learned that Zhou Wang was coming early, he had no choice but to leave quickly.

"Whose house is this?"

"A sister who is close to her in the same circle... Don't look at her like that, she is a real sister, and she is also very familiar with Xiwei."

Qiu Zeyu said this in an unpleasant tone. Zhou Wang smiled and was about to make a joke when the door was opened and a girl over 1.7 meters tall with a thin waist and long legs appeared at the door.

She was wearing a Chanel haute couture lace dress, which was a bit plain, but the pair of long legs in crystal high heels under the short skirt were enough to make up for everything.

This ratio is comparable to that of Jiang Qingkui and Jiang Mo.

"Brother Yu!"

Seeing the two of them, the sweet-looking girl smiled at Qiu Zeyu first, then looked at Zhou Wang with her eyes lighting up.

"Hello, hello, Zhou Wang. Hello, my name is Zhou Zihan... We have the same last name, isn't it a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence. Hello, nice to meet you."

Zhou Wang didn't expect the landlord to be so enthusiastic towards him. After a moment of shock, he couldn't help but laugh.

"How happy are you?"

"Uh……"

When Zhou Wang was stunned, Zhou Zihan chuckled and said, "I was just kidding. Come in, come in. I want to tell you, I have been following your short video account..."

Zhou Zihan directly took Zhou Wang's hand and brought him in. Zhou Wang could only turn around and look at Qiu Zeyu.

Who knew Qiu Zeyu would helplessly spread his hands, "Don't look at me, Zi Han is just like that. But it's true that she has been paying attention to you for a long time. In fact, she took the initiative to propose that this party must be held at her house..."

After hearing this, Zhou Wang found it difficult to break free. Fortunately, Zhou Zihan still knew his limits and pulled Zhou Wang a few steps before letting him go.

"Hey, for this party, I even had the lawn mowed today. It's beautiful, isn't it..."

As Zhou Zihan walked, she introduced her home to the two of them. "I have redecorated the living room, upstairs, and downstairs... I also hired someone from the club to serve you on the second floor. Although the maids I hired are all very beautiful, forget about the others. Brother Yu, you are not allowed to take Zhou Wang to have sex with Sese!"

After showing the two around, Qiu Zeyu was surprised when he heard Zhou Zihan say this when they went upstairs.

"why?"

"Because Zhou Wang is my idol, you can't destroy his image in my heart!"

"But what does this have to do with me..."

"You went to shiver by yourself. Are you going to let Zhou Wang sit there and do nothing? So you can't go either!"

Zhou Zihan blinked at Zhou Wang, making Zhou Wang, who didn't know how to respond, laugh and cry at the same time.

Although Qiu Zeyu was acting, he didn't look like a casual person... But Zhou Zihan, this girl with an authentic northern accent, even her jokes were sincere, which made Zhou Wang have some good feelings for her when they first met.

Of course, this kind of affection is not the kind of love between men and women, it is just a kind of faint appreciation.

While Zhou Zihan was taking him on a tour, Zhou Wang also made some comparisons.

Zhou Zihan's house is also quite big, it should be more than 300 square meters, but in fact, including the front and back gardens, as well as the underground floor and the second floor above ground, the actual usable area exceeds 800 square meters.

It is estimated that this is the best apartment in the community except for the top-floor apartment.

There is also a swimming pool on the basement floor, which is not available in Zhou Wang’s top-floor apartment.

Of course, the view and lighting are definitely not comparable to the top floor, but with the luxurious home furnishings, the comfort level will not be bad. It can only be said that Zhou Zihan's family is probably quite wealthy... because Zhou Wang heard that she is the only one living in this house, and it is often vacant.

In addition to the waiters arranged on the first floor, the second floor was indeed like Zhou Zihan said, with a row of about seven or eight young ladies in maid outfits. Some had childish lolita faces, while others had long legs and were mature ladies. But it was obvious from their polite smiles that they had all received professional training...

Zhou Wang thought that "invited from the club" was just a joke from Zhou Zihan. It seems that he is still not very knowledgeable.

Zhou Zihan took the two of them to a reception room on the second floor. Soft sofas were scattered around, and the long table in the middle was filled with a variety of champagnes and drinks.

Zhou Wang couldn't recognize all the varieties, but among the dazzling array of champagnes, he saw Dom Perignon, Louis Roederer, and Krug, all of which had an average price of more than 30,000 yuan.

"Ding ding ding, these drinks are only for VIPs on the second floor. Guests on the first floor can only drink ordinary Ace of Spades..."

Zhou Zihan also said something to the two of them with a smile.

The Ace of Spades worth thousands of dollars has become ordinary, what a guy...

Zhou Wang complained in his heart, but to be honest, although Ace of Spades seemed a bit cheap due to excessive marketing, in fact, the quality of Ace of Spades (excluding fake wine) was really good. In 2010, in a blind tasting competition of 1000 champagnes, Ace of Spades from the Golden Bottle won first place.

"The others will be here soon. I'll go and greet them... Most of the rooms on the second floor can provide different types of entertainment. Brother Yu, Zhou Wang, please help yourselves first!"

Zhou Zihan looked at his phone, waved his hand and left first, leaving the space to Zhou Wang and Qiu Zeyu temporarily.

Qiu Zeyu waved to the maid beside him, pointed to a bottle of champagne and asked her to pour two glasses, then smiled and said:

"Isn't my sister pretty good?"

"Add more ice cubes... It's good, it feels like a good character."

Zhou Wang also gestured to the maid who poured the wine and answered with a smile.

"Zi Han just came back from studying in Australia. Her parents are very traditional. As far as I know, she has never had a boyfriend... How about it, brother, are you interested?"

"Brother Yu, please don't match people up with me randomly. I always stay away from these rich girls."

Seeing that Qiu Zeyu was interested in making friends, Zhou Wang changed his address and quickly waved his hand.

"Hahaha, brother, you seem to be in a state of distress, don't you?"

"No, I don't have much experience in love, and I'm afraid I can't control it..."

"Well, that's true. Zi Han is a very nice person, but she may still have a little princess syndrome." Because of Zhou Wang's shy smile and his age, Qiu Zeyu believed it instantly. He patted Zhou Wang on the shoulder with the attitude of a veteran and sighed, "I didn't believe it at first, and ended up having a failed marriage..."

Zhou Wang didn't really want to listen to Qiu Zeyu's story. After all, divorce was not a rare thing these days, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Brother, there is one thing I am curious about."

"what's up?"

"I've heard about some things in the Beijing circle before. To be honest, I thought today's party would be held in some high-end club, and I was looking forward to broadening my horizons..."

Zhou Wang said in a joking tone.

Qiu Zeyu was startled, then smiled and said, "Beidu's clubs were indeed more famous in the past. Apart from other things, I believe you have heard of the reputations of the four major clubs such as Chang'an Club, Huaxia Club, and Jingcheng Club, right?"

"No, actually the first one I heard of was 'Heaven on Earth'..."

Zhou Wangxian made a dry joke, which made Qiu Zeyu laugh.

"If you put it that way, then it is indeed the most famous club in Beidu."

After the joke, Qiu Zeyu said seriously: "Brother, let me ask you a question. If you are someone who really needs the services of a private club, would you choose the kind of club that is so famous that it is listed in the encyclopedia?"

"Of course not."

After Zhou Wangyi finished answering, he realized the problem. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "So, this is the reason for the decline of the four major clubs?"

"Partly, there are also external reasons. You should also understand that having a big reputation is always bad..."

Qiu Zeyu smiled and said, "Of course, it has something to do with their respective operations. For example, my father used to be a founding member of the Jingcheng Club, but later even he was not willing to go there. The monthly fees of the club kept increasing, and the service was getting worse and worse. In addition, the number of members was capped at 1000, but this number was broken in 2000."

Zhou Wang suddenly realized that this meant that the threshold of the club was being lowered again and again. Countless unscrupulous people had sneaked in, and naturally the place became foul and chaotic.

"In short, the clubs in Beidu were really unique in the early years, especially the four major clubs, each with its own characteristics. But now they have all declined. It may also be related to the trend of the times. Young people of our generation who grew up are not so fond of the quietness of private rooms."

Qiu Zeyu laughed and said, "It's more practical to have a party in a villa, or go to Gongti Stadium to dance... Of course, I'm not sure if you like those occasions, so for the first time I asked you to get together, I still organized a party, the main point is to be suitable for both quiet and active occasions!"

"Also, brother, you don't have to mind Zi Han's jokes. The maids here are all from top clubs. With them here, if you really want to experience some of the club's unique services, it's not impossible..."

Finally, Qiu Zeyu winked at Zhou Wang again.

"Brother, stop joking. I haven't even had many relationships. Facing these girls, I'm afraid I can't let go..."

When Zhou Wang heard this, he quickly shook his head.

"That's easy. There will probably be quite a few young ladies coming to today's party. If you like clean girls, just tell me which one you like. I'll help you out!"

Qiu Zeyu believed it again and immediately patted his chest and said.

……

While Zhou Wang was chatting with Qiu Zeyu and listening to him bragging about how much fun he had in the club before, two streets away from Beidu No. 1 Courtyard, in a traffic jam, a yellow Maserati GT was honking its horn frantically.

"How do these bastards drive? Even such a wide road can be blocked. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to that corner!"

"Brother Yan, can you please stop honking the horn? My ears can't take it anymore."

In the passenger seat, Cheng Yiyi, who was covering the collar of her dress with her hands and had exquisite makeup on, finally couldn't help but speak when she saw Zhao Yan, who was driving the car, chattering nonstop.

"I'm sorry, Yiyi. I'm not a talkative person usually. It's all because the grandchildren in front of me are so annoying. I don't know how they drive..."

When Cheng Yiyi spoke, Zhao Yan put on a smiling face and explained, "It's mainly because it's almost half past eight. It looks like we'll be an hour late, which is a bit inappropriate."

"Brother Yan, didn't you say that the one hosting the party is your good friend? It shouldn't be a problem if we're a little late, right?"

Xu Jing, who poked her head out from the back seat, laughed and continued.

The neckline of the dress she wore was also very low, but she did not cover it up like Cheng Yiyi did, but exposed herself openly.

At this moment, as she leaned forward, her white skin was visible. Zhao Yan saw it in the rearview mirror and couldn't take his eyes away. However, he didn't want to keep staring at her because he was worried about Song Rui who was still sitting quietly in the back seat and Cheng Yiyi next to her.

Hearing Xu Jing's words, Zhao Yan coughed lightly and said, "Of course my buddy and I have a good relationship, but today's venue is provided by someone else. I also told you that several young masters in the Beijing circle will be there. It will definitely not be good if we go too late..."

"Hehe, Brother Yan, at worst I can go with you to make amends. Don't worry, Yiyi can't drink too much, but I can!"

"That's great. I'm counting on you today. But let me tell you, Xiaojing, you will definitely get drunk today. I guarantee that the alcohol flowing in your blood is definitely mixed with gold..."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. Let me tell you, that two or three thousand dollar Ace of Spades is no different from plain water at a party like this. Just drink as much as you want..."

"Wow!"

Listening to the conversation between Xu Jing and Zhao Yan, Song Rui, who was hiding on the other side of the back seat of the Maserati GT, looked at Xu Jing's buttocks swaying in front of him and almost hitting his face several times, and he was hesitant to speak.

But seeing Xu Jing's unaware look, Song Rui didn't know how to start talking, so he held back and just moved aside again.

...Although Maserati is positioned as a two-door, four-seater coupe, the space in the back is actually very crowded for sitting.

When Zhao Yan asked him to get in the car, he was still making faces and said that he would drive more aggressively, implying that he could take advantage of Xu Jing.

Song Rui could only smile awkwardly at this. If Zhao Yan hadn't said that only his car, which had been registered in advance, could enter the community, Xu Jing would not be happy either. Song Rui originally planned to take a taxi.

What Zhao Yan and Cheng Yiyi didn't know was that if he really wanted to sleep with Xu Jing, he would have succeeded long ago...

The day after Cheng Yiyi introduced Xu Jing to him, Xu Jing got drunk when they were playing at the Gongti nightclub. Song Rui was sending her back to the hotel when Xu Jing grabbed him. Her unrestrained look made the almost inexperienced Song Rui panic, and he left her and ran away.

Later, Xu Jing didn't behave normally, and Song Rui just thought she was drunk. However, he vaguely felt that Xu Jing's attitude towards him seemed to be much colder.

But no matter what, since the other party is Cheng Yiyi's best friend, Song Rui decided to get to know her better.

Taking another glance at Cheng Yiyi, who was sitting in the passenger seat with a reserved smile on her face, Song Rui sighed.

It was impossible for him and Cheng Yiyi to be together. He just hoped that if Brother Yan really succeeded in wooing her, he would be nicer to her...

That day in Hangzhou, although Song Rui was greatly shocked at the time, he eventually figured it out.

That’s Zhou Wang!

If I were a girl, I would probably be attracted to a man like Zhou Wang.

After recognizing the gap, Song Rui felt relieved, so he reconnected with Cheng Yiyi. After all, they were childhood friends, and he still hoped that she could live a good life.

Zhao Yan's family is not worse than mine. If Cheng Yiyi can really be with him, it should be good...

While Song Rui was daydreaming, the traffic ahead finally began to loosen up. The Maserati GT quickly turned into another street and soon arrived at the gate of Beidu No. 1 Courtyard.

The security guard registered several people's ID cards one by one, checked the license plate, and confirmed with the owner again before finally letting the Maserati GT pass. It drove into the underground parking lot of the community.

"Wow, the access control of this community is too strict. We even need to register our ID card..."

Xu Jing couldn't help but sigh as she hurriedly stuffed her ID card into her bag.

"This is one of the best residential areas in Beidu. All the residents here are celebrities and bigwigs. How could the access control be lax?"

Zhao Yan smiled.

“How much is this community per square meter?”

Cheng Yiyi, who hadn't said much along the way, spoke at this time.

"It's fallen a bit now, but a good apartment will cost at least 200,000 or 300,000 yuan... The larger apartments are about 300 to 400 square meters."

“That’s not over 100 million, right?”

Cheng Yiyi said subconsciously.

"Uh……"

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect Cheng Yiyi to say such a thing.

So a house worth tens of millions is not expensive enough in your eyes?

Cheng Yiyi just subconsciously thought of Zhou Wang's top-floor mansion in Mingcheng's "Spring Eye". Seeing Zhao Yan looking at her in surprise, she realized that she had said something wrong and quickly smiled:
"I just think that this kind of top-notch residential area in the northern capital should be priced higher than this. I have seen more expensive houses in second- and third-tier cities..."

"Oh, Yiyi, this is Beidu. Some things cannot be judged simply by appearance. You must first know that not everyone can buy a house in Beidu, especially a luxury house in this location. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it, because it also symbolizes a certain circle. Those residential areas in other provinces, no matter how expensive they are, are for the nouveau riche to live in. How can this be compared?"

"Also ha..."

Cheng Yiyi nodded in approval.

Soon, the car entered the garage area. From here on, Zhao Yan became cautious, pointing to both sides and exclaiming:

"Look at the cars parked in this garage. There's a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Ferrari 458, a Bentley Continental, and my two million Maserati isn't cheap. If I leave it in here, I'd be embarrassed to say it's my car..."

"Wow, a Lamborghini SVJ63...it looks like it's still new. Whose car is this!"

Zhao Yan, who was looking around on both sides, suddenly exclaimed and pointed at a car in the garage.

Song Rui and his companions looked in the direction of the sound and were also slightly shocked. It was not only because of the amazing appearance of the Lamborghini Limited Edition, but also because the car was parked very casually. It did not follow the markings at all, but directly occupied three parking spaces diagonally...

It seemed that even the way the car was parked revealed a sense of arrogance.
