Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 347 Mysterious Folder

"Boss, Mr. Han told me privately that he will report this matter to the head office and will give you a satisfactory explanation... At the same time, if you agree, Mr. Han will contact a third-party security company tomorrow to upgrade the security system of the entire house to prevent similar incidents from happening again. All expenses will be borne by Colliers International."

At the door, Huang Duming, who had seen off his colleagues, respectfully reported the results to Zhou Wang.

After understanding the whole incident, Zhou Wang was too lazy to argue with Han Chen, so he asked Huang Duming to negotiate on his behalf.

As expected, the bribed head of security department ran away and has not been found yet.

However, with China's security capabilities, Zhou Wang was not worried about not being able to catch him. It was just that the root of the problem was not with the supervisor. He estimated that even if the person was caught, it was unlikely to involve Xue Mingyuan behind the scenes, so Zhou Wang did not care too much.

As for the financial compensation from the property management company and the replacement of the house security system, these are all as they should be. Colliers International cannot be so stupid as to try to get away with it.

"Well, I see."

Zhou Wang nodded, indicating that Huang Duming could leave as well.

"Boss, to avoid any accidents, I have reorganized a security patrol team on the first floor. If you need me again, please call me at any time. I will sleep in the duty room in the lobby tonight."

After Huang Duming finished speaking, he glanced at Miss Gu, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa with her head down and little sense of presence. After thinking for a while, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"Then I'll leave first, boss, you should go to bed early."

After Huang Duming left, the living room became quiet again.

Zhou Wang glanced at Miss Gu, who was still motionless, in surprise. Then he realized something was wrong. He moved closer and heard Miss Gu's long breathing... This woman had fallen asleep while sitting without anyone noticing.

Zhou Wang didn't know what to say for a moment. He was too careless.

"Dei!"

Zhou Wang suddenly shouted, scaring Miss Gu so much that she trembled and almost fell off the sofa.

"…I'm sorry, I've been recording a variety show all day and I'm really sleepy. I just drank some wine to give myself courage."

Facing Zhou Wang's strange gaze, Miss Gu, looking embarrassed, explained in a low voice.

Zhou Wang found it a little funny. No wonder her face was so red just now.

Speaking of which, among the several people in the entertainment industry whom I have come into contact with recently, it seems that only Miss Yang is similar to what I have remembered. The others are more or less different from their characters on the screen.

For example, Miss Gu usually presents an image of a cool and domineering lady, but when you get to know her, she inexplicably seems to be stupid.

However, Zhou Wang did not understand her intentions. He shook his head and asked, "Why don't you leave? Do you really want to stay here overnight?"

"Can I really go?"

Miss Gu probably didn't expect Zhou Wang to let her go so easily, and asked again uncertainly.

"The 'deal' has broken down. If you're willing to let me get it for free, then stay."

Zhou Wang didn't think there was any point in continuing to embarrass Miss Gu. From a certain perspective, she was just a tool in this incident, so he just said calmly with a blank expression.

"I...I'll go first. By the way, my bag is still upstairs."

Miss Gu pursed her lips, glanced secretly at Zhou Wang, then ran upstairs barefoot and came down again soon with an LV handbag.

After getting the bag, Miss Gu picked up the red-soled high-heeled shoes on the ground and walked a few steps out. She hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said, "Um, Mr. Zhou..."

"Ok?"

"I think Sister Bingbing has no ill will towards you..."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Wang raised his eyebrows, somewhat confused.

"Well... Sister Bingbing knows a lot of people, including several big guys. She...she is still very powerful in Beidu."

Miss Gu said in a low voice, "I'm done, I'll leave first."

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Miss Gu was probably reminding him that Miss Li was not someone to be trifled with, and that there was no need for him to get too upset with her...

Looking at Miss Gu's hurriedly leaving back, Zhou Wang's expression became more and more strange.

He was really a little confused.

So... you're doing this for my own good?

Zhou Wang had some impression of Miss Li when he read entertainment gossip before. She was indeed a relatively successful example of a celebrity transforming into capital. But who was standing behind her and what did it have to do with him?
When Zhou Wang came to his senses, Miss Gu had disappeared at the door. Zhou Wang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then took out the sketchbook from under the coffee table.

"Xueren Group."

Zhou Wang wrote these four words in his sketchbook and began tapping his fingers.

After a moment, Zhou Wang wrote the words "System Store" next to it.

After reviewing the rough outline of the plan in his mind again, Zhou Wang slowly wrote out the third word: "Strength in numbers."

After staring at the shorthand book for a while, Zhou Wang equated "system store" with "strength in numbers", and then drew a cross on "Xue Ren Group".

"It should be possible..."

Zhou Wang muttered something uncertainly, then took out his cell phone and sent a message to Jiang Qingkui, urging her to collect the information and send it to him as soon as possible.

After finishing all this, Zhou Wang looked at the system interface again and saw the prompt about the advanced [resume] still in the interactive reality, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Damn it, bodyguard brother, where are you..."

This was the longest interaction he had ever had using [Resume].

What happened today made Zhou Wang feel a sense of crisis for the first time. As his social circle continues to expand, the opponents he may deal with will become stronger and stronger, and the importance of personal safety will become more and more prominent.

There are some self-defense items in the system store, such as the temporary item [Ramos's Heart Armor] that he spent 20,000 reputation points to exchange tonight. Its function is to help him offset the fatal part when Zhou Wang suffers physical damage.

But props like these have various restrictions and can only be used in emergencies. Even if we take a step back, Zhou Wang can't rely on constantly exchanging props to save his life, right?
As a chosen one, you shouldn't be so cowardly.

After smoking another cigarette, Zhou Wang, feeling tired, got up and went upstairs to sleep. However, after entering the bedroom, he was stunned to see the pieces of paper scattered on the big bed.

He walked over and picked it up. On the piece of paper was a phone number written in lipstick, with two crooked small words underneath: "Add me."

Zhou Wang realized that this was the piece of paper Miss Gu left for him. He smiled, crumpled the piece of paper into a ball and threw it on the ground.

After washing, changing into pajamas, and lying on the big bed, Zhou Wangcai slept for a while under the quilt, then suddenly pulled back the quilt and grinned.

Damn, how long has Miss Gu been lying on this bed? There is a faint fragrance everywhere, which is very tempting.

The main reason was that Zhou Wang kept thinking of the scene where Miss Gu opened her legs. It had to be said that no matter what Miss Gu's personality was like, with her top-notch appearance, Zhou Wang would definitely be able to control himself in a different situation...

After thinking about it, Zhou Wang moved to the bedside again, reached out to pick up the piece of paper from the ground, and added Miss Gu's WeChat according to the phone number.

There is ample time.

What if?
……

On the other side, Miss Gu, who was tall and graceful, wearing sunglasses and a silk scarf, walked quickly out of the community of Beidu No. 1 Courtyard.

After wandering on the quiet street for a while, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle with a Beidu Photography sign drove from the end of the street and slowly stopped next to Miss Gu.

"Sister Bingbing..."

The electric door opened, and Miss Li, who was also wearing sunglasses, appeared in the field of vision. She nodded to Miss Gu.

"Let's talk after we get in the car."

After Miss Gu sat in the back seat and the business car started again, Miss Li took a look at Miss Gu.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay... Zhou Wang didn't make things difficult for me."

"Humph, I'm sorry he wouldn't dare!"

Miss Li recalled Zhou Wang's manic tone on the phone and couldn't help but snorted.

"Sister Bingbing, actually...actually I think he's a pretty good person, you two should be able to be friends..."

Miss Gu said hesitantly at this time.

Miss Li was startled when she heard this, and looked at Miss Gu in disbelief, "No way, Nana, don't tell me you're sick again. You and Zhou Wang have only met once, and you even sacrificed yourself for him. You can't be in love with him, right?"

"No, we're not familiar with each other yet. I just think that Sister Bingbing, you don't have to treat him as an enemy. Didn't you say that the Xue Ren Group has no good intentions?"

"Okay, these are not things you should care about. With your brain, can you sort these things out?"

Miss Li glared at Miss Gu unhappily, "As for me and that Zhou Wang, although the conversation was not pleasant, we are still keeping to ourselves for now. It's too early to say that we are enemies."

"That's good."

When Miss Gu heard this, she suddenly felt inexplicably happy.

Miss Li glanced at Miss Gu and couldn't help but said, "But don't blame me for not reminding you. From what I heard, Zhou Wang is not a good person. He is young and has grown so fast. He might be up to something. You'd better not have any contact with him in the future..."

"Well, I see."

Miss Gu nodded, her eyes lit up, and she quickly accepted the friend request sent by Zhou Wang on her mobile phone.

Looking at Miss Gu's well-behaved appearance, Miss Li thought for a moment and sighed, "I'm sorry, Nana, I made you feel wronged tonight. This shouldn't have happened to you..."

"It's okay, Sister Bingbing, I understand. If you want to get something, you have to pay for it. Isn't this what everyone has been through? And I don't feel wronged."

Miss Gu quickly shook her head.

"Because of something that happened a few years ago, I owed the Xue family a favor. No matter what the result is today, you have done what you should do. This favor has been repaid, and the rest has nothing to do with us."

Ms. Li said seriously at this time, "Nana, don't worry, I won't forget my promise to you. The company will do its best to help you get the endorsement of Hermès' global brand ambassador..."

"Thank you, Sister Bingbing!"

Miss Gu was immediately delighted when she heard this.

"But don't be too happy too soon. As a leading luxury brand, Hermès is not easy to get this endorsement. You should also know who your competitors are."

Ms. Li shook her head. "Even if the company is willing to spend a lot of resources, the chances of success are actually not high..."

"I know, Sister Bingbing, I'm already very grateful that the company is willing to fight for me. It doesn't matter even if it doesn't work out."

Of course, Miss Gu knew that this endorsement was difficult to get.

That's Hermès...

Not to mention her, even Miss Di, who is currently very popular, would have a hard time winning the title of "Global Brand Ambassador" when facing a luxury giant like Hermès.

Looking at the Chinese entertainment industry, there are currently only three or four stars who have had official cooperation with Hermès, and even if they can get endorsements, they are only limited to Hermès' sub-brands. For example, Miss Zhao once won the endorsement of a perfume called Bachni under Hermès.

In fact, Ms. Li and her goals are not high. They would consider it a success if they could get in touch with Hermès and shoot some cooperative commercials.

While responding to Miss Li, Miss Gu glanced down at her cell phone.

After adding him on WeChat, she immediately sent him a cute emoticon, but she didn’t expect Zhou Wang to reply.

"I regret it. Why don't you come back?" "Pfft..."

Upon seeing the news, Miss Gu couldn't help but smile, which attracted Miss Li's surprised gaze.

However, Miss Li only thought that Miss Gu was happy because of her promise and did not take it to heart.

……

When Zhou Wang woke up, it was already September 2024, 9, the last day of September.

After staring at the Reflex & Ferrari joint mirror clock on the wall for a while, Zhou Wang suddenly sat up from the big bed.

He took his phone and took a look. As usual, there were many unread messages. He replied "Good morning" to the women he had had actual relationships with, including Jiang Mo, Su Ranran, Xu Wenxi, and the Shen Yutong sisters. Zhou Wang then leaned against the head of the bed and checked his three mailboxes.

With the rise of his status and the increasing number of businesses under his name, checking and replying to emails every day has become an unavoidable part of Zhou Wang's daily life, and he spends more and more time on it.

Many official matters are communicated through email. Xu Wenxi has become accustomed to compiling the daily key news into a book and sending it to Zhou Wang's email, sometimes also attaching her interim work report.

There’s nothing important in my work mailbox, mostly invitations to various events and meetings.

For example, the anniversary of the Ferrari flagship store in the southwest region, or the new product exhibition of Hermès, as long as Zhou Wang fills in the information, they will book the air tickets and hotels on his behalf, please Zhou Wang, please be sure to come...

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

There are also things like the hot spring seminar organized by the Yunnan Federation of Industry and Commerce, the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a certain company in Jingcheng (although I don’t know why they were invited), and a charity donation event for students sponsored by Caida University, etc.

It's dazzling and messy.

For this type of email, Zhou Wang usually packages it up and forwards it with one click, either to Jiang Qingkui or Xu Wenxi, letting them handle it themselves.

If you need a formal reply, just reject it. If you need a donation, just send the money directly. If you need to avoid harassment, just block it directly...

After spending a few minutes dealing with these messy messages, Zhou Wang took another look at his personal mailbox.

The latest email, sent this morning, instantly cheered Zhou Wang up.

The email was sent by Lawyer Gao from Yunnan Yunshangyun Law Firm. It had no title or text content, only an "attachment" in a compressed file format.

Although Lawyer Gao did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that the attachment contained what Zhou Wang wanted, all the information about Qi Jiayi.

Zhou Wang was still a little amazed. Lawyer Gao was so efficient. He had just asked the other party for it yesterday, but he didn't expect it to be sent today.

Since this information concerns the progress of the third round of action, Zhou Wang naturally attaches great importance to it.

After thinking about it, Zhou Wangxian opened WeChat, found Lawyer Gao, and transferred 100,000 yuan to him.

"Lao Gao, I don't know if this is enough, but thank you very much. I owe you one."

"No, Mr. Zhou, you're offering me both money and a favor, how can I dare to accept it... How about this, I'll take the money, but forget about the favor, and we'll be even. These materials took some work, but they're pretty reliable, and I hope they can help Mr. Zhou."

After Lawyer Gao finished speaking, he accepted the transfer.

Zhou Wang understood that this was because he didn't want to owe anyone any more favors, and he could only sigh that Lao Gao was indeed a good person.

After chatting with Lao Gao, Zhou Wang downloaded the attachment from the email.

After decompression, the data was roughly divided into three folders, including Qi Jiayi's "personal information", "special experience" and an unnamed mysterious folder.

"Qi Jiayi was born on January 1991, 1 in Gaocheng, Taiwan Province... Both his parents died, and he and his sister were placed in an orphanage... Later, he was adopted by a Chinese family in Australia. At the age of seventeen, he was brought back to China by his relatives and settled in Beidu..."

Zhou Wang was surprised that Qi Jiayi was actually from Taiwan... He didn't know if she could speak the coquettish Taiwanese dialect.

In addition, she is actually an orphan and has a younger sister who was suspected to have been lost in an orphanage.

For no reason, Zhou Wang’s mind popped up again: the female doctor with gold-rimmed glasses, Zhong Huilan, from Shanghai… Could it be so bloody?
But Zhou Wang felt that this might be true.

We can look back at the hospital’s internal personnel records and find out for sure whether Zhong Huilan is also an orphan.

Except for this part, the rest of Qi Jiayi's personal information can be found on the encyclopedia, but the information is more detailed...

Qi Jiayi, who studied for a doctorate at Hua Xia University of Political Science and Law, has demonstrated his strong talent as a lawyer since he started working at Yunshangyun Law Firm, and has become a renowned lawyer today.

According to the data, she still has a 100% case winning rate, and several major cases she handled have been reported in the news.

Then Zhou Wang looked at her "special experience" again, but this part could not be found on the Internet.

The long word document records the miserable side of Qi Jiayi beneath her glamorous appearance.

Including the reasons for her parents' death, the series of bullying she suffered after being transferred to an orphanage, and the abuse she suffered from her adoptive mother after being adopted, etc...

Zhou Wang was grinning as he watched, this girl was really miserable...

Although the family that adopted her was wealthy, it seemed that she was not living a happy life. No wonder that as soon as she found an opportunity and contacted her former relatives, she quickly left the adoptive family and ran back to her country.

In addition, according to the information, Qi Jiayi seemed to have had a failed marriage, but she rarely mentioned it to others and not many people knew about it.

Even in the general impression of most people who know her, she has always been single.

The information specifically mentioned that because her ex-husband had gone abroad, the exact reason for the divorce is unknown because the parties involved cannot be found.

After reading all the information in the first two folders, Zhou Wang had a new understanding of Qi Jiayi.

Judging from her birth date, she is a Capricorn like me, which can be considered a kind of fate...

Women of this zodiac sign are generally more career-oriented, and may be scheming and rational, which is quite consistent with some of her behaviors.

After digesting it for a while, Zhou Wang turned his gaze to the last unnamed mysterious folder.

An unknown intuition reminded Zhou Wang that the things in this folder might be the most important...

Thinking of this, Zhou Wang opened the folder. There was only a simple PDF document in the folder. After clicking it, Zhou Wang couldn't help but stare.

This is a copied English diagnosis record, and the patient is Qi Jiayi.

Judging from the heading on the diagnosis record, this is not a domestic hospital.

With Zhou Wang's current level of English, he would have no problem reading this diagnostic record even without using any translation software.

There were only a few professional terms occasionally, so he searched on Baidu out of caution.

After slowly browsing the entire diagnosis record, Zhou Wang was shocked...

Damn, Qi Jiayi’s illness is no ordinary one!

After a long while, Zhou Wang calmed down and smiled thoughtfully.

"interesting……"

After downloading the attachment, he deleted Lawyer Gao's email. When he looked at the time on the wall, it was already half past ten.

It took him nearly an hour to study Qi Jiayi's information.

After getting up and going downstairs, Zhou Wang called Huang Duming to bring up breakfast. Only then did he learn that Lin Ran had been waiting for him for a long time. So he asked Huang Duming to bring Lin Ran up as well.

When Zhou Wang first saw Lin Ran, he was a little stunned.

When he first met Lin Ran, because of the presence of Hua Suisui, Lin Ran, as an "old aunt", was actually not very noticeable. It was only after she put on a bikini that her extremely heavy figure left a deep impression on Zhou Wang.

But today's Lin Ran was quite surprising to Zhou Wang.

The brand new one should be the Hermès professional suit that she bought yesterday. Her thighs are smooth and straight without stockings. Her waist is not very thin, but compared with the exaggerated curves above and below, it has a natural roundness.

Mainly her facial features, which were much brighter and more delicate than before, and her fair and tender skin also made her look younger... Zhou Wang suddenly realized that she was actually only in her early thirties, not much older than Hua Suisui.

As for the reason for the difference, Zhou Wang quickly found it.

Because today, Lin Ran was wearing full makeup in front of Zhou Wang for the first time. She was no longer the kind of girl with subtle eyebrows and eyes, and Zhou Wang finally appreciated her beauty.

Very good... Considering the average appearance of Zhou Wang’s team, Lin Ran is not lagging behind.

Lin Ran felt uncomfortable being scrutinized by Zhou Wang, mainly because she inexplicably remembered the slap Zhou Wang had given her yesterday, and some of her parts felt a little hot.

Seeing that Zhou Wang was still staring at him with no sign of stopping, Lin Ran could not help but turn his head slightly and said awkwardly:
"Mr. Zhou..."

"Why didn't you tell me you were here earlier? Next time, don't wait for me. Just call me. I usually wake up very early. Qingkui and Xixi know that...Sit down and have something to eat together?"

Zhou Wang came back to his senses and did not seem embarrassed. He just gave a reminder and then invited him.

"No need, Mr. Zhou, I've already eaten."

Lin Ran quickly waved his hand to refuse, and then reported: "Mr. Zhou, didn't you ask me to contact the bank yesterday? They said they can come to your door to serve you at any time. I followed your instructions and made an appointment this morning. See..."

Zhou Wang slapped his head and remembered this. "I almost forgot. Let them come now... Tell them that I might have a lot of stuff to store. Remember to send an extra car."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran quickly walked aside and made a phone call.

More than half an hour later, just after Zhou Wang finished his breakfast and did some light exercise, the service team from China Merchants Bank arrived.

The leader was a middle-aged man with a flat head and a warm smile. He brought several male and female employees who were responsible for the inventory, as well as fully armed financial escorts.

"Mr. Zhou, I've heard of you for a long time. Let me introduce myself. I'm the manager of the Trust Department of the Beijing Capital Branch of China Merchants Bank. My name is Zeng Lei... I heard that Mr. Zhou has some valuables to deposit?"

"Yes, come with me."

Zhou Wang nodded and led them to the warehouse.

What he wanted to deposit in the bank was, of course, the large amount of jewelry he bought in Europe.

The main reason is that he will not stay in one place for a long time, and these jewels need to be used from time to time. It must be very troublesome to carry them with him... I have to complain about the system here. The system warehouse cannot store any items other than props. It is not convenient at all.

So Zhou Wang thought of the bank.

Almost all large banks provide storage services for valuables, commonly known as "safe deposit box" services.

Gold jewelry, important documents, antique paintings...all valuable items can be stored in the bank vault and enjoy the highest level of security.

Of course, Zhou Wang chose the bank for safekeeping because with his customer level in the bank, he can also enjoy the bank's free delivery service. That is, no matter which city he is in, the bank can deliver the jewelry he needs as quickly as possible and also bear the risk for him.

When the bank staff followed Zhou Wang to the warehouse, they were stunned when they saw the boxes.

"Boss Zhou, these are..."

"Jewelry."

Zhou Wang casually opened a box near the door and showed it to Zeng Lei and others. When the box was opened, the emerald gem on the necklace that looked like a snake sparkled with a moving luster.

Zeng Lei's breathing tightened. Judging from the jewelry in the box that Zhou Wang casually opened, it was worth more than five million.

And at this moment, there were more than a hundred boxes in the warehouse...

Zeng Lei, with a serious expression on his face, quickly directed the staff on site to count and seal the items according to the procedures, and then called the headquarters to request additional security forces...

While Zeng Lei and others were busy, Lin Ran, who came over out of curiosity, was stunned by the dazzling array of jewels in the warehouse.

When he came back to his senses, Lin Ran suddenly remembered that when he was eavesdropping in the office yesterday, he vaguely heard Zhou Wang swearing to Jiang Qingkui that the jewelry he gave to Jiang Qingkui was carefully selected by him abroad and was the only one of its kind...

Bah, scumbag!
