Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 341: Rejected Zhou Wang
The Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS600 in classic black and white was driving on the road in Beidu. Zhou Wang was lazily leaning on the passenger seat. After stopping at another traffic light, he glanced at Lin Ran in the driver's seat and found it a bit funny.

Because Jiang Qingkui has been too busy recently and Zhou Wang himself is a "free man", before the headhunting company helps Jiang Qingkui recruit a suitable driver, Miao Ying was temporarily assigned to Jiang Qingkui by him, as a temporary assistant to Jiang Qingkui.

Lin Ran, who happened to arrive in Beidu, became his temporary driver.

It’s just that Lin Ran didn’t seem to be very skilled at driving and looked too nervous.

The seat was adjusted straight and very close to the steering wheel. Lin Ran, who was leaning forward, was also stretched very straight. His big D, restrained by the seat belt, looked so terrifying that it felt like he might accidentally touch the horn at any time.

Zhou Wang had seen her in a bikini, so he knew she was the real deal. Seeing this, he couldn't help but shook his head:

"Sister Ran, don't you claim to have seven years of driving experience? Why are you so nervous? Relax..."

“I don’t usually drive.”

Lin Ran smiled embarrassedly, and then quickly said: "But don't worry, boss, my driving skills are not that bad. It's just that this is a new car that I haven't paid for yet, so I want to be cautious, otherwise if I scratch it, I can't afford the compensation..."

"I'm not asking you to pay for anything, so drive faster. My time is more valuable."

Zhou Wang shook his head and urged.

This brand new Maybach GLS600 has indeed not been paid for yet, as it is a "test drive vehicle" provided to him by the Mercedes-Benz 4S store.

But unlike ordinary test drives, the Beidu Mercedes-Benz flagship 4S store does not stipulate a clear test drive time, which means that as long as Zhou Wang is happy, he can drive the car for as many days as he wants.

If you are not satisfied, you can go back and change the model and continue test driving.

Even if Zhou Wang needs it, they can let the beautiful sales champion lady in the store accompany him throughout the whole process...

This is a privilege provided to him free of charge by the Mercedes-Benz 4S dealership. Of course, there are some tricks involved.

Boss Zhou, you're a billionaire, and you've been driving this car for several days. You'd feel embarrassed to take it for free, right?

At worst, even if you don’t like this car, you will always buy another model in the end, right?
Since Wangzhou Culture has established a branch in Beidu and currently has club business to operate, it is inevitable to buy a few official cars. In addition to asking Jiang Qingkui to order a few Yangwang U7 and Yangwang U8 out of support for domestic products, it is also necessary to order a luxury car.

After all, Zhou Wang currently only has one Lamborghini Termini in Beidu, which is not very suitable for daily travel.

Now, Zhou Wang doesn't really care what brand he buys, as long as it's comfortable and doesn't lose face. For Zhou Wang, who has made a lot of money on a trip abroad, spending at least three to five million is like spending a small amount of money.

Among the several 4S stores Huang Duming contacted, Mercedes-Benz was the most active, so Zhou Wang nodded in agreement and let Huang Duming drive back the latest model of Maybach GLS600 first.

After all, it costs several million. This car is at the king level in terms of comfort and luxury among the current SUAs, so there is no big problem. Zhou Wang has already planned to pay.

Originally, he had his eyes on another car, which is also the king of SUVs, the Land Rover Range Rover.

Zhou Wang thought about it and decided that from the perspective of collecting, he should own a car from each luxury car brand to be considered a qualified super rich man. Currently, he does not own any BMW or Land Rover.

However, considering that Beijing would not be his permanent residence, Zhou Wang was too lazy to think about it carefully and just focused on being casual.

"Oh, I see..."

Lin Ran nodded, and then he increased his speed slightly.

More than ten minutes later, the Maybach drove into Yihua Hutong in Beidu. Following the navigation, the car soon arrived in front of a two-story gray-white building with an independent courtyard.

Looking at the small building in front of him that looked a little old, Zhou Wang smacked his lips.

This was something he gradually realized after returning home, that is, the actual value of the small building in front of him was not as high as shown in the appraisal report given to him by Briony.

From this perspective, he was essentially "tricked" by Briony.

Zhou Wang was about to get out of the car, but when he turned around, he saw Lin Ran standing there. He couldn't help but wonder, "Stop the car, what are you standing there for?"

"Boss, I, I may not be able to park in..."

Lin Ran blushed and spoke hesitantly.

Zhou Wang was stunned, looked outside the car, and immediately understood.

The alleys in Beidu are all relics of history, so the roads are naturally very narrow. Parking in an alley is extremely difficult, because if you park slightly crookedly, you might block the road.

At this moment, the several cars parked in the alley, without exception, are all pressed tightly against the wall. From a visual point of view, even a finger may not be able to be inserted into the gap between the car body and the wall.

"Let me do it."

Zhou Wang also grinned at what he saw. After knowing Lin Ran's dilemma, he drove Lin Ran away.

After several minutes, Zhou Wang, sweating profusely, finally parked the car in a parking space that was very crowded in all directions. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

...It's okay to shave it, but the main thing is that it's embarrassing.

After getting off the car, Zhou Wang found that Qi Jiayi had also arrived.

She stood on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, wearing a maroon trench coat matched with a black and white professional suit. Her ascetic face was somewhat similar to that of her senior, and her hot body was somewhat similar to that of Jiang Qingkui, together forming the basic image of this cold and beautiful lawyer.

She seemed to know that her facial features were too cold and not suitable for interacting with people, so she bought herself a pair of gold-rimmed glasses to give herself a bit more of the feminine charm that a woman should have.

"wait a second."

Zhou Wang waved to her, and then, under the puzzled looks of the two women, he found two pieces of wood from somewhere and placed them diagonally on the outer front and rear wheels of the Maybach.

"Mr. Zhou, what are you doing..."

After Zhou Wang turned back, Qi Jiayi asked curiously.

"This is a parking custom in the alleys of Beijing. There are many stray cats and dogs in the alleys. This can prevent the wheels from being corroded by their urine. Everyone does this."

Zhou Wang pointed left and right and explained.

The two women turned around and saw that, just as Zhou Wang said, all the vehicles parked in the alley had two such baffles on their wheels.

"I've been in Beidu for so long, and I never noticed these things. Mr. Zhou is really thoughtful..."

Qi Jiayi couldn't help but laugh.

"Maybe it's because you've never parked in an alley. Haha, did you get the keys?"

"I brought them all."

Qi Jiayi nodded, opened his briefcase, took out all the documents inside and showed them to Zhou Wang.

When Zhou Wang was looking through the contract, Qi Jiayi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhou, you should know that you don't have complete property rights for a house like this..."

"I know."

Zhou Wang nodded.

This is what he said, that he was "tricked" by Briony.

There is no problem with the house and there is no problem with the transaction. The only problem is that the houses in the alleys within the second ring road of Beijing are not commercial housing and in principle cannot be traded.

Although Briony did buy the house in the end, neither they nor Zhou Wang could actually obtain full ownership of the property because the house belonged to the collective. They only had the right to use and live in the house after the agreement was signed.

A house that cannot be sold is naturally not worth that much, so the appraisal price of 30 million is actually very high...

No wonder Briony was so straightforward. It took a lot of time and effort to acquire the shop in the core location of Beidu, and he just gave it to her immediately.

After coming to his senses, Zhou Wang was too lazy to argue with Briony anymore. After all, he was the one who agreed to it at that time, so he couldn't blame her entirely.

Besides, Zhou Wang didn't plan to get rich from this house, so whether the house could be transferred or not was not that important.

After looking through the agreement that Qi Jiayi had signed for him and confirming that there was no problem, Zhou Wang took the key handed over by Qi Jiayi and opened the gate.

After all, it is a large courtyard covering more than 300 square meters. Although the architectural style is a bit old, Zhou Wang is quite satisfied at first glance.

The front yard covers an area of ​​more than 50 square meters. When you turn the corner of the alley, you will find Jianguomen North Street. This location is a prime location where you can enjoy peace and quiet in a bustling city. It is very valuable to have such a large yard.

…Senior will probably like it very much.

The two-story building was only half renovated, and there were still a lot of building materials left inside. Zhou Wang toured the place with Qi Jiayi, and felt it was pretty good. After all, Brioni originally wanted to turn this place into a flagship store. The area of ​​300 square meters per floor sounded okay, but because the whole house was very empty at this time, and floor-to-ceiling windows were installed on all four sides, it was still visually very spacious.

The good thing is that Briony’s early decoration had already completed the infrastructure work of packaging and water and electricity, which could greatly save Zhou Wang’s time.

Zhou Wang roughly thought about it in his mind. After he had a plan in mind, he waved to Lin Ran, who was looking around curiously.

"Please help me contact the decoration company and find the best designer in Beidu. The requirements are as follows... After they come up with the plan, ask them to send the renderings together. I will personally review it, but time is very urgent. Tell them that it doesn't matter how much money they add, but I can't wait too long."

Lin Ran, who received a work assignment other than filming for the first time, quickly took out a small notebook and wrote down everything Zhou Wang said.

Qi Jiayi, who was standing by, could not help but speak up at this time: "Mr. Zhou, are you sure you want to do this? According to your requirements, the cost of this decoration may be tens of millions. If you include furniture, it will probably be more than 20 million..."

"Twenty... twenty million?"

Lin Ran, who had no idea what was going on, was stunned for a moment.

"Only 20 million?"

Zhou Wang was surprised for a moment. He thought that after reading several books on architecture overnight, the standard described was at least 50,000 per square meter...

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Then Sister Ran, you can talk to the decoration company and ask them to try to get closer to the standard of 30 million."

"?"

What the hell, you still think 20 million is too cheap?
"...Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Naturally, Lin Ran could not question Zhou Wang, and quickly nodded in agreement.

As for Qi Jiayi, she obviously had no such qualifications. She just shook her head and smiled, saying meaningfully:

"It's a blessing to be Mr. Zhou's woman."

But not every woman of his is treated like this...

Lin Ran, who was also very envious, added silently in his heart and then sighed.

She just suddenly remembered Hua Suisui, who had terminated her contract with the company and returned to the mountain city.

The other party rarely even does live broadcasts now, and it is obvious that she really wants to give up her career, but it seems that Zhou Wang still has no clear statement to her at the moment.

Fortunately, I have become Zhou Wang's assistant now, and I can always help her if I have the chance...

While Lin Ran was daydreaming, Zhou Wang waved at her, "Sister Ran, go out and buy two cups of milk tea."

Lin Ran realized that Zhou Wang had something to say to Qi Jiayi. Although she was very curious, she held back. She nodded, turned around and left silently, leaving the two of them space.

After Lin Ran left, Qi Jiayi crossed his arms and looked at Zhou Wang with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, you are not deliberately creating an opportunity to be alone with me, right? In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome. Just tell me and I will accept a date with you alone."

"Jiayi, don't joke like that, I'll take it seriously... You should know that I'm good in everything except that I lack self-control when it comes to women."

Zhou Wang said in a serious tone.

In fact, Qi Jiayi is two or three years older than Lin Ran. Out of respect, Zhou Wang should call her "Sister Jiayi", but there is a subtle difference here.

Women are all emotional creatures. Since Lin Ran is just in her early thirties, it won’t seem like a big deal if Zhou Wang calls her “Sister Ran”. But if he also calls Qi Jiayi “Sister”, it might touch her sensitive nerves and backfire...

"puff!"

Seeing Zhou Wang being so frank, Qi Jiayi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Then she shook her head in disbelief, "I'm so old now, could it be possible that Mr. Zhou still has feelings for me?"

"You want to try?"

"Just give it a try..."

Qi Jiayi originally wanted to continue joking with Zhou Wang, but suddenly she caught a glimpse of the dangerous light flashing in Zhou Wang's eyes. Her legs tightened for no reason, her heart panicked, and she couldn't continue talking.

An inexplicable intuition told her that it would be best not to give Zhou Wang any excuse to try, as the consequences would be unpredictable.

Qi Jiayi pursed his lips and finally regained some seriousness in his tone. "So, Mr. Zhou, what do you want to tell me?"

"Last time you told me that you suggested I find a private lawyer. I think your suggestion is very good. How about it, Jiayi? Are you interested in working with me?"

"I'm interested, but... I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I may not be able to agree to it."

Qi Jiayi smiled, seemingly not surprised by Zhou Wang's proposal, but soon she changed the subject and shook her head.

Zhou Wang raised his eyebrows. He had thought of all kinds of possibilities, but he never expected that Qi Jiayi would refuse so straightforwardly.

Because the last time Qi Jiayi proposed this, she even joked with him and said that it was okay to find her, and he thought that she really had this inclination in her heart...

Zhou Wang is currently a little anxious about recruiting talents.

The reason is simple, each action round is time-limited.

For the third action round, the system gives a deadline of 90 days. Now it is the end of September, and there are only about three weeks left before the countdown for the round will end.

According to the system's additional instructions, if Zhou Wang does not complete the corresponding requirements before the end of the round, the consequence is that all the rewards he received during the action round will be invalidated...

Including but not limited to the gift packages that have been distributed, as well as various benefits he has obtained directly or indirectly due to the action rounds, etc.

Although Zhou Wang will not be left penniless all at once, if this range also includes all the rewards he has received from "adventures" and temporary events, then Zhou Wang will not be far from returning to the time before liberation.

Of course, the reason why it is not so urgent is that if Zhou Wang’s requirements are not so high, the remaining two talents will still be easy to recruit.

For example, he had booked a private butler a long time ago, or in a more sophisticated way, a "life assistant" named Chen Mei.

But... I don't mean to insult Chen Mei, she is indeed too "cheap".

As Zhou Wang's vision broadened, he naturally became eager to recruit higher quality talent.

Because as long as the salary of the talent is in line with his ability level, the system will bear all related expenses. Of course, the more awesome the other party is, the better.

In addition, based on past experience, if the talents Zhou Wang recruits exceed expectations, there will be additional surprises...

For example, when recruiting Jiang Qingkui, because of Jiang Qingkui's perfect potential, he was directly given a bound intermediate [resume].

Zhou Wang actually has another choice, which is to use the [Resume] directly. He currently has more than 10000 reputation points remaining, and the advanced [Universal Resume] only costs reputation points, so he can afford it.

But the problem is...

too slow.

A month has passed since I used the advanced [Resume] to recruit bodyguards, and I am still in interactive reality...

Of course, if it is really too late in the end, Zhou Wang can only use the primary [resume] to quickly recruit a talent, and then sign Chen Mei directly to be done with it.

In short, no matter what, Qi Jiayi is his first choice at the moment.

Judging from her personal encyclopedia available on the Internet, this woman's high academic qualifications, rich resume, and strong abilities can be described as a fully developed version of Jiang Qingkui. She is a true T0-level talent.

The simplest example is that last year, a case that shocked the whole country, which was handled by Qi Jiayi, directly promoted the creation of a revision plan for a certain Chinese law. It is expected that when the next congress is held, that law will undergo a subversive change...

Zhou Wang was really envious of such talents.

Moreover, Qi Jiayi's appearance is so good, which is in line with Zhou Wang's inner potential standards. She can form a "Wang Zhou F4" with Jiang Qingkui and three others. How face-saving it would be to bring them out...

"why?"

Zhou Wang, who hadn't been rejected by anyone for a long time, felt a little unhappy. He frowned and asked.
