Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 326 Mysterious Seat and Letter Sister

Why should I, a billionaire with a net worth of billions, eat this kind of thing?
On an unknown street in Paris, Zhou Wang, leaning against a business car, looked at the hamburger and French fries in his hand and couldn't help falling into self-doubt.

It all happened on a whim. Because they were going to a more formal public occasion, Miss Yang and Miss Di went back to her hotel to change clothes.

Miss Yang originally wanted Zhou Wang to change into another set of clothes, but Zhou Wang felt that there was nothing wrong with the casual clothes he was wearing now, so he naturally declined.

Considering that the girl would take a little longer, Zhou Wang, who was waiting downstairs, looked back and saw the KFC sign. He became curious about what would be different when eating KFC abroad, and whether it would be more authentic...

He happened to be a little hungry, so he tried it, but the result disappointed Zhou Wang.

Not to mention the limited variety of set meals, the burgers are not as big as those in China, and the fried chicken has a weird smell, a bit woody...

This was not just Zhou Wang's psychological effect, he was sure that it tasted bad.

No wonder KFC and McDonald's are said to be the choices of poor people abroad... Although the three-piece meal in Zhou Wang's hand also cost him 12 euros.

In fact, Zhou Wang should have given up his expectations when he saw the sign of this KFC.

...Whose real KFC is built in a hole in the ground?

If this were to happen in China, even dogs wouldn't eat it.

After talking with Miss Di's assistant who studied in France, I learned that this is the norm abroad and they really position themselves as a "fast food restaurant."

Although he was complaining in his heart, it did not stop Zhou Wang from moving to the place with the brightest light. He picked up the Coke in his hand and took a photo. After taking the photo, he felt something was not right. Zhou Wang thought about it, changed to his left hand, and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his plain Patek Philippe Starry Sky 400R worth 6104 million, and took another photo.

After seeing the effect of the film, Zhou Wang nodded with satisfaction, added another layer of filter to the photo, and then edited a circle of friends -

"I have turned another page in the book of the world."

"Handheld Coke.jpg"

“France·Paris·Forum des Halles·KFC”

After confirming that there were no problems, Zhou Wang clicked send.

...It's too boring, just pretend to be cool for fun.

After posting on WeChat Moments, Zhou Wang casually threw the bitten burger into the trash can. However, as soon as he turned around, the burger he had just thrown away was quickly picked up by a homeless person, which made Zhou Wang a little dazed.

Ding Dong!

At this time, the cell phone rang. Zhou Wang picked it up and saw that it was Hua Suisui, who he hadn't contacted for a long time, who sent him a WeChat message.

In fact, it cannot be said that they had no contact. Hua Suisui still insisted on sending good morning and good night messages to Zhou Wang every day, but most of the time Zhou Wang read the messages but did not reply, which created the illusion that the two of them had very little contact.

First there was a cute emoji, then a text message:
"Zhou Wang, did you go to Paris too?"

Zhou Wang was stunned when he saw Hua Suisui's question. He was a little surprised why the other party used the word "also", but he still replied with a "hmm".

Hua Suisui's message continued to display "typing", but her new message didn't pop up until Zhou Wang got a little impatient.

"Oh, then... then when will you be back? I don't mean anything special. I just happened to see your circle of friends, so I asked you~ Um, did you receive the gift I sent you last time?"

"What gift..."

Zhou Wang just typed out four words and then deleted them silently.

Girls are different from boys. They like to express their emotions in a traceable way. So the girls around Zhou Wang often buy him gifts. Zhou Wang usually gives them to Jiang Qingkui or Xu Wenxi to deal with. He is not sure what the gift Hua Suisui is talking about is...

While Zhou Wang was silent, he looked at the "The other party is typing" icon that lit up from time to time on the screen, and finally sighed.

Although he didn't know why Hua Suisui was like this, he felt the other party's cautiousness.

Thinking of Hua Suisui's resolute decision to terminate her contract with the company in order to show her determination, and returning to Shancheng to begin an indefinite wait, Zhou Wang typed:
"I came to Paris for some business and will be back soon. How are you doing?"

"Oh, by the way, winter is coming soon, I'll give you a red envelope for the winter so you can buy some clothes or something..."

"Please collect payment: ￥88888.00"

On the other side of the chat interface, Hua Suisui, who was lying on the sofa holding an orange cat and watching TV series, covered her mouth in disbelief when she saw Zhou Wang's three consecutive messages, and her eyes turned red instantly.

This was the first time Zhou Wang typed so many words to her, and it was also the first time Zhou Wang transferred money to her.

Overwhelmed by the huge surprise, Hua Suisui jumped up from the sofa. The purring orange cat in her arms was unconsciously thrown out by her and fell to the ground in a daze.

Hua Suisui didn't care about that at this moment. She just held the phone with her knuckles turning white, as if if she used less strength, everything in front of her would become an illusion...

Zhou Wang didn't know that Hua Suisui was so excited that she was about to cry. He just watched in confusion as Hua Suisui returned his transfer and sent a long text message:

"Zhou Wang, thank you. I'm so touched. But no need. I still have money to buy clothes. Or, when you come to Shancheng, can you accompany me for a walk?"

There were probably two or three hundred more words to go, but Zhou Wang didn't read them carefully; he just smacked his lips.

Damn it, I don’t have that much time and I only have a few coins left, but I can’t even give them away if I want to.

But seeing that Hua Suisui was truly moved and had even finished the short essay, Zhou Wang knew that the effect had been achieved, so he stopped worrying about it.

After replying casually, Zhou Wang exited the chat interface with Hua Suisui, and then he found that there was an extra red dot with the number "76" at the "Discover" in the lower right corner.

You know, it is two or three in the morning in China now. Although there are more and more people staying up late, at this time, in just less than ten minutes, his circle of friends has become a "hot item", which is also a very exaggerated thing.

Zhou Wang lit a cigarette and started browsing leisurely.

First, there were a lot of likes, as usual, mixed in with many unfamiliar avatars whose identities Zhou Wang was not sure. He could only be sure of one thing: after he cleaned up his address book several times, at least 90% of the people on WeChat were people he knew.

The comment section is even more lively.

It’s Yueyue (Xu Lingyue): “Mr. Zhou is so cool, while Tianming workers are still staying up late to make PPTs (so miserable)”

I don't know who it is: "Paris is like this. I've been there once before and the food is terrible. I suggest you try Budapest. It tastes good."

Li Sheng: "Brother Gou, I'm really jealous of you. I haven't been abroad yet. By the way, why is the watch on your wrist so eye-catching? What brand is it?"

Yang Hao: "Godfather, when can you take me flying again? I still can't get enough of the last time, the lingering sound is still lingering in my ears (obscene)" Young Master Zhang: "??? Damn Zhou Wang, are you sure you want to take a picture of that cup of Coke? Do you think I'm blind and can't recognize that it's a Patek Philippe?"

Shao Xiaoqi: "Fuck, uncle, your Patek Philippe is so beautiful. I also want to get one, but the last time I asked, it was out of stock. It's outrageous!"

Guo Bing: "Xiao Qi, there are invisible thresholds. You should be able to buy it with your mother... or come to Shanghai, I will take you to have a look."

Tang Yiming: "Patek Philippe Starry Sky 6104R, full of diamonds, public price four million... Brother Gou, there is something."

Lao Ruan: "Brother Gou, there is something."

Cheng Qing: "Brother Gou, there's something."

Tong Jingcheng: "Brother Gou, there is something."

……

After being "pointed out" by Young Master Zhang, the formation below began to form a uniform formation, achieving the effect Zhou Wang wanted. He couldn't help but be very happy.

Sure enough, pretending to be cool can make you feel better.

Of course, the direct side effect of this circle of friends is that more and more people sent WeChat messages to Zhou Wang to ask him all kinds of questions, including many women who were familiar to Zhou Wang and some who were not.

At this time, Miss Yang and Miss Di, who had finally dressed up, also came downstairs. Zhou Wang put away his phone, turned his head and took a look, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

There is no doubt that with the country's huge population base and the cruel competitive environment, female stars who can stand out from hundreds of millions of ordinary people and become first-line artists must be extremely talented in appearance and figure.

If you have ever been in close contact with celebrities in real life, you will know that their foundation is much more solid than what you see on camera.

Most of the so-called "beauties" around us will immediately become passers-by once they appear on the big screen, but they can catch the audience's eyes as soon as they appear on the screen.

Not to mention Miss Di, who is naturally beautiful and has exotic charm, even Miss Yang, who is already an "aunt" in age, is radiant and her skin is so smooth that it seems to be dripping with water after careful dressing up.

As if she had noticed the amazement in Zhou Wang's eyes, Miss Di just avoided his gaze embarrassedly. However, Miss Yang raised the corners of her mouth proudly, and deliberately lifted her long hair as she passed by Zhou Wang, bringing up a gust of fragrant wind.

She was still thinking about how Zhou Wang had counterattacked her on the plane, and now she finally felt that she had gotten a little bit of a comeback.

If Zhou Wang knew her thoughts, he would just laugh. Even if you were to take the initiative, what would happen? After all, a man would never suffer a loss in such a matter...

The business car started and drove through the streets of Paris towards Place Vendôme.

On the way, Miss Yang, who temporarily put aside her playful thoughts, also seriously popularized relevant industry knowledge with Zhou Wang.

Among the many jewelry brands in the world today, there are five brands that are recognized as top-notch, namely Chaumet Paris, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Harry Winston, and a somewhat controversial one, De Beers, the world's largest diamond mining company.

Among these five brands, three are originated in France. In addition, many luxury brands such as Hermès, Rolex, Givenchy, Chanel, etc. are also originated in France, which has created the reputation of Paris as the "City of Romance" and "City of Fashion"...

It was no coincidence that they went to this jewelry cocktail party which was a sales exhibition tonight. In Paris, such events can be found almost every day and they are all of considerable size.

There are also various other shows emerging one after another, such as the "Fengma Show" that was trending some time ago...

If it weren't for the lack of time, Zhou Wang would still like to go and criticize it in person.

It is immoral and must be severely criticized!

"I asked the vice president of Siemens who got the invitation for me. Tonight's cocktail party was sponsored by the Paris Chamber of Commerce... Hey, Zhou Wang, you should have heard of the Paris Chamber of Commerce, right?"

"Have heard a little bit."

Zhou Wang didn't know how to give the appropriate answer for a moment and could only say this.

"This chamber of commerce has great influence in France. Almost all the major events I've witnessed have its shadow behind them, and most luxury brands are also its members... In short, since this cocktail party is hosted by them, the standard must be high."

Ms. Yang explained: "I asked around, and in addition to the top jewelry brands, there should be several top luxury clothing brands participating. You can also buy some clothes or something..."

In the fashion world, jewelry and clothing have always been inseparable, so Zhou Wang was not surprised to hear that.

Miss Di spoke very little, and it was Miss Yang who spoke most of the time. Paris in a narrow sense is only one twentieth the size of the city of Ming, so after about seven or eight minutes, the business car arrived at the destination.

It was past eight o'clock in the evening. Under the lights of the square, the gate of mansion No. 12 with the nameplate "CHAUMET" was open. Luxury cars gathered at the door. Security guards in black suits were spread out to the periphery of the square. A long carpet was laid. The scene was quite impressive...

This is the oldest headquarters of Chaumet in Paris and also the venue for tonight’s cocktail party.

The business car stopped to one side, and Zhou Wang got out of the car with Miss Yang and Miss Di.

Among such a well-dressed crowd full of white faces, Miss Yang and Miss Di, who were not wearing sunglasses, also lost the blessing of their star aura. There were no longer so many lights and cheers. Only occasionally some Chinese tourists passing by would wave to them in surprise.

After verifying the invitation letter at the security station at the door, he walked into the gate of the mansion. The vast space that was supposed to be the store showroom was arranged as a cocktail party. In addition to the clothing and jewelry stands that were shining under the spotlight, what attracted Zhou Wang's attention the most was a somewhat abrupt scene -

At the top of the red carpet, at the top of the stairs leading to the second floor in the hall, there is a high-backed chair of extremely luxurious style. There is no one on the chair, it is just there empty, and there are red lines around it to prevent anyone from approaching.

"Is that some antique for exhibition?"

Zhou Wang asked, not knowing what was going on.

Miss Yang, who had just greeted an acquaintance, turned around and glanced at the chair. She shook her head and explained with confusion:
"It's not an antique... This seems to be a custom of the Paris Chamber of Commerce. It is said that it was proposed by the current president, Mr. Phil Renault. Whenever they host an event, they will place a chair like this on the scene. I don't know what it is used for, and I've never seen anyone sit on it. I've seen this chair several times..."

Phil Reynaud is already the president of the Paris Chamber of Commerce?

Zhou Wang was a little surprised when he caught another piece of information. After all, two years ago, the other party had just become the last-ranked vice president...

While Zhou Wang was thinking, there was a sudden noise behind him. It was normal to have occasional noise in such an occasion, but what surprised Zhou Wang was that he seemed to hear a familiar voice.

Turning back in surprise, I saw a group of chattering girls arguing with the security guard at the entrance of the mansion.

What shocked Zhou Wang was that he saw several familiar faces, and one of them caught his attention instantly...

Her delicate facial features exude a sweetness yet seem to have a hint of coldness. Her lips are as red as a rose, and her skin is as white and tender as a crescent moon. The girl's top-notch appearance makes her like the brightest star in the crowd. Even though there are many beautiful girls next to her, her radiance cannot be dimmed in the slightest.

It had been probably only a month since they last saw each other, but when Zhou Wang looked at her, he was actually in a trance for a moment.

Endme...how did she appear here?
