Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 348 Qi Jiayi's Secret
Zhou Wang noticed that Lin Ran was looking at him strangely, but he just thought that he was shocked by the number of jewels here and didn't think too much about it.

"Sister Ran, please help me."

Seeing that Lin Ran was just staring at him in a daze, Zhou Wang reminded him.

Because the amount of jewellery was so large, although there were quite a few bank staff present, the inspection and storage was still a lengthy process, which also involved the signing of a trust agreement, third-party insurance, etc.

"Uh-huh……"

Lin Ran, who seemed to have just woken up from a dream, also ran to help. Zhou Wang called Jiang Qingkui again.

"Mr. Zhou, the quality inspection company has already completed the inspection of the renovation of the club. Please take a look..."

"Send their account number to Xixi, and I'll arrange the transfer in a moment."

Zhou Wang responded and confirmed the opening matters and the proposed guest list with Jiang Qingkui.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wang felt a pang of pain when he saw the 2800 million yuan spent from his account.

The account balance, which had originally reached 1.4 million, shrank a little bit to just over 1.1 million.

After Zhou Wang bought all the jewelry, he had 1.5 million left. However, he had to bring the large amount of jewelry back to China. The combined tax rate plus the fees paid to the logistics company cost him more than million.

In fact, there are some ways to avoid taxes, but Zhou Wang still chose to be honest. He is a wealthy man who does not follow the ordinary path, so there is no need for him to do anything crooked in these aspects.

Although nearly 30 million yuan was spent on the decoration in one go, according to Zhou Wang's current plan, the importance of the decoration and opening of the Jingwang Club in the entire process has been once again enhanced, so the money was worth spending.

After talking to Jiang Qingkui, Zhou Wang suddenly saw a female bank employee in charge of counting waved at him.

Zhou Wang walked over puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

The young lady hesitated for a while, blushing as she handed the box in her hand to Zhou Wang, "Um... Mr. Zhou, the things in here may not meet the standards for custody..."

Zhou Wang was stunned and quite puzzled. There were nearly 5 pieces of jewelry purchased in the exhibition hall at that time. Even the lowest-valued one was worth more than euros, which is about or yuan when converted into RMB. It completely met the bank's definition of "valuables". How could it not meet the standards?

Zhou Wang casually opened the box and took a look. His pupils shrank sharply. When Lin Ran came over out of curiosity, Zhou Wang quickly closed the exquisitely crafted box.

"What are you looking at? Why are you so curious all day long?"

"Ah, oh..."

After Lin Ran left with a wronged look on his face, Zhou Wang coughed lightly and explained to the bank lady with a bit of embarrassment, "Maybe it was a mistake, so it doesn't count."

After saying that, Zhou Wang ran away with the box in his arms. After arriving at the bedroom on the second floor and making sure that there was no one around, Zhou Wang reopened the box and examined the items inside.

Black lace is semi-transparent, and the three-dimensional patterns of the moon and stars are intertwined at that point, exuding mystery in the sexiness.

Zhou Wang was a little unsure about the size, but from the shape that seemed to be preserved, he could tell that it was quite firm...

The key point is... where did this horse come from?

At this moment, Zhou Wang, whose fingers touched unconsciously, was suddenly startled.

Because there is actually temperature on this thin and soft clothing!

At the same time, Zhou Wang heard the system's prompt -

Ding!
[The host obtains an unexpected item - Caroline's Dreamweaver Clothes]

[Caroline's Dreamweaver (permanent): When touched, sleep duration -50%, sleep quality +100%]

【Close your eyes and you will see more】

[Tips: When this item is used in combination with "Caroline's Stockings", additional benefits will be generated]

……

After hearing the system's prompt, Zhou Wang knew he didn't need to guess. The system had already told him directly who the owner of the inner garment that seemed to still be warm was.

What surprised Zhou Wang was that this was also a prop.

And judging from the effect, it is quite powerful.

The sleeping time was reduced by half, but the quality of sleep was doubled. This round trip not only saved half the time. In other words, Zhou Wang might only need to sleep for two or three hours to get the energy that a normal person would get after sleeping for seven or eight hours.

As we all know, at least one-third of a person's life is spent sleeping. If Zhou Wang uses this item every day, doesn't it mean that his life span is also extended in disguise?

Living to 80 years old can make you look like others who are 120 years old.

Whether it's day or night, I can make time for more things and people...

Moreover, this prop seems to be able to cure insomnia.

As for the "extra benefit", the system did not specify what it was, so we can only wait until the evening to try out the effect.

After thinking about it, Zhou Wang carefully put away the magical inner garment. It was at this time that Zhou Wang discovered that there was a piece of note paper in the box.

He originally thought that this note was also left by Caroline, but when he picked it up, he realized that it was not:

"Mr. Zhou, I'm Jing Ying, nice to meet you. Let me tell you in secret, I also like this style of inner wear. My mobile number is 155xxxx (same as WeChat number)"

Zhou Wang was startled, then realized that this was placed in the box by the young lady who discovered the underwear.

He couldn't help but bared his teeth. Just now, seeing that the other person was young and had a shy look on her face, Zhou Wang thought she was very innocent...

I almost got cast.

……

The price of entrusting valuables in a bank is not as expensive as you might think. The annual service fee for a single piece of jewelry ranges from a few hundred yuan to several thousand yuan, depending on the value of the item.

Just because the quantity is too large, it is very likely that a separate safe depository will have to be set up for Zhou Wang’s jewelry, and the bank also bears the corresponding logistics and transportation, so the final discounted cost is 28 yuan a year.

It's just three days' salary, just sprinkle some water...

After receiving the trust certificate and the smart key for storage and access, Zhou Wang paid the fees for two years in one lump sum.

By the time this matter was settled, it was already afternoon. Zhou Wang sent Lin Ran to the company to help Jiang Qingkui. As for Zhou Wang himself, after dressing up, he went straight to the underground garage, got in his Lamborghini SVJ63, and drove out of the community.

Zhou Wang happened to have some free time today, and already had a "secret weapon" in his hand, so he planned to push the progress of the round forward and bring Qi Jiayi under his control... ahem, under his command.

As for dealing with the Xue family, Zhou Wang already had a plan in mind. He just needed to let the bullets fly for a while and wait for the information collected by Jiang Qingkui.

……

Beidu East Third Ring Road, Guomao CBD.

Every city has its own CBD, but not every city’s CBD can be as prosperous as Beijing Capital International Trade Center.

Beidu International Trade Center is known as one of the top five CBDs in China, the other four being Guangzhou Tianhe CBD, Shenzhen Futian CBD, Shanghai Lujiazui CBD and Hong Kong Island Central CBD.

There are many landmark buildings in Beijing, such as China Life Financial Center, Taikang Group Building, Zhengda Center, etc.

(One picture shows all the landmark buildings of Beijing International Trade Center CBD)

The entire area integrates multiple functions such as office, accommodation, conference, exhibition, shopping and entertainment. It is the first choice for many multinational companies and powerful trading companies to enter Beidu. From a business perspective alone, this place symbolizes the "height of Beidu."

As one of the top red-circle law firms in the country, Yunshangyun Law Firm and Beidu Law Firm have their headquarters here, in the China World Trade Center Phase 3 office building.

On the 19th floor of Building A, in a luxurious office with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, Qi Jiayi, who had just finished writing a case closing report, stretched her waist lazily, revealing her beautiful S-curve, and her originally serious face also relaxed a little.

When he inadvertently looked up and saw the red circle on the calendar, Qi Jiayi frowned again.

"Today is the 30th..."

His fingers unconsciously clenched, Qi Jiayi picked up the phone on the desk and called his assistant.

"Hey, Sura, do I have any other plans today?"

"Sister Jiayi, you have a meeting with the client at five o'clock, and then at half past six, Lenovo Group's legal department will hold a banquet. Director Chen hopes that you can attend on behalf of the law firm because today happens to be the first anniversary of our cooperation with them..."

"The meeting with the client will proceed as usual. As for the banquet, please postpone it for me."

"Ah, but Sister Jiayi, Director Chen said..."

"Just tell them that I'm not feeling well and want to go home early to rest. If he has any other suggestions, please let him come to me in person. Also, if there are any other visitors or invitations today, please help me decline them all."

"Okay, Sister Jiayi, are you sick again? Is it because you work too much overtime? You must make sure to rest!"

"You don't need to worry about these..."

Qi Jiayi said this rather irritably at first, then realized that his tone might be a bit too harsh, and took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Sura, you go ahead and do your work, that's all."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Jiayi took out a box of ladies' cigarettes from somewhere, took out a cigarette and hesitated for a moment before putting it back.
She stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, crossed her arms and stared at the bustling traffic outside the window for a while.

Not knowing what he was thinking about, Qi Jiayi sighed softly.

At this moment, the phone on the table rang again urgently. For a second, Qi Jiayi didn't even want to answer it, but in the end, she returned to her desk and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Sister Jiayi, it's me again. A Mr. Zhou wants to see you..."

Sura's cautious voice came from the other end of the line.

"Didn't I tell you to turn down all the visitors for me?"

Qi Jiayi responded unhappily.

"Well, Mr. Zhou said that as long as you tell him your name, you will definitely see him no matter whether you are busy or not..."

Sura on the other end of the phone glanced at the handsome young man standing at the door with his hands behind his back as if he was visiting the place. He blushed and his heart beat fast again, and then he quickly explained to Qi Jiayi on the phone.

Qi Jiayi was startled when he heard this, then seemed to realize something and asked, "His name is Zhou What?"

"He said his name was Zhou Wang."

He really came...

Qi Jiayi felt helpless.

Because what Zhou Wang said was not wrong. With Zhou Wang's internal rank in Yunshangyun Law Firm, not to mention himself, even the director did not dare to refuse him.

"Then bring him in."

Qi Jiayi glanced at the Blancpain Moon Goddess watch on her wrist and then replied.

After hanging up the phone, about a minute or two later, there was a knock on the office door, and then assistant Sura walked in with Zhou Wang.

The moment Qi Jiayi saw Zhou Wang, he was a little stunned.

A mid-length corduroy brown hunting jacket that should be from LV, with a black wool sweater underneath, a pair of white casual pants, and a pair of simple white sneakers on the feet.

The outfit was not fancy, but it perfectly highlighted Zhou Wang's model-like figure. Combined with his carefully trimmed hairstyle, he had both the youthful vigor and the steadiness of a successful person. His overflowing charm made Qi Jiayi's heart skip a beat for no reason.

She was not a woman who cared much about appearance, and she had dealt with Zhou Wang several times before. It could only be said that Zhou Wang today was indeed handsome to a certain level, which caused ripples in her heart.

Zhou Wang caught the ripples in Qi Jiayi's eyes and was quite proud. ... It was worth it that I had a video call with Miss Yang before leaving, asking her for help with my outfit, and referring to the guidance of the short video, I picked a hairstyle that was more suitable for my face shape.

"Sister Jiayi, do you need my help making tea?"

The voice of assistant Sura at the side brought Qi Jiayi, who was distracted, back to reality.

She quickly adjusted her expression, picked up the gold-rimmed glasses on the table and put them on, smiling slightly and said, "No need, I will entertain Mr. Zhou myself, you go ahead and get busy."

Sura, feeling inexplicably disappointed, took a final sneak glance at the handsome young man next to him, then left the office and closed the door.

"Mr. Zhou, please take a seat. What would you like to drink?"

When Qi Jiayi greeted him, Zhou Wang glanced at her quietly.

He had just seen Qi Jiayi without glasses. Sure enough, after putting on the gold-rimmed glasses, her temperament became much softer... Although her original facial features were beautiful, her temperament was very cold.

Jiang Mo is the cold type, Jiang Qingkui is more glamorous, and as for the woman in front of him, she is truly aloof. When she doesn't smile, she gives people a great sense of alienation.

"Do you have iced coke?"

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

Zhou Wang said casually while observing her.

Qi Jiayi paused, "There are only tea and coffee. If you need them, I'll ask my assistant to buy them for you..."

"Forget it, have a glass of cold water."

After Qi Jiayi poured Zhou Wang a glass of water, she sat down opposite him with her legs crossed. Unfortunately, she was wearing formal trousers today, so from Zhou Wang's angle, he couldn't see any pleasing scenery.

"Mr. Zhou came to visit unexpectedly. Is there something urgent?"

Today, Qi Jiayi has returned to the same state he was when he was dealing with Zhou Wang before. The smile on his face is warm and friendly, which makes people feel comfortable.

"There are some things indeed. The first thing I want to do is to confirm with your lawyer Qi, are you really not willing to work for me?"

When Zhou Wang took out a cigarette, Qi Jiayi quickly took out an ashtray from under the table and placed it in front of him.

Hearing Zhou Wang's question, Qi Jiayi hesitated for a moment, but still smiled helplessly: "Mr. Zhou, I am actually very interested, otherwise I wouldn't have joked with you when we first met. Unfortunately, I weighed the pros and cons later and decided that my current job is more suitable for me, so I can only say sorry to you..."

Sure enough, although she refused both times, there were obvious changes in her tone and attitude.

Zhou Wang nodded as if something had been confirmed. "Okay, let's talk about this later. Now let's talk about the second thing. I want to register a chamber of commerce. Can you do this for me?"

Qi Jiayi didn't expect Zhou Wang to skip this topic so easily. He breathed a sigh of relief and laughed when he heard it:

"Of course, this is not complicated. As long as the information is complete, I can handle it for you quickly... It's just that the association's residence needs to be prepared in advance by Mr. Zhou. The domestic regulations are quite strict in this regard, so it is best to have a real company residence."

"It's ready. I'll have my secretary Jiang Qingkui contact you later, but I'm a little anxious here, so I need you to move faster."

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Zhou. Once the information is sent over, it will only take two or three days at most..."

After Qi Jiayi nodded in agreement, Zhou Wang chatted with her for a while. As time passed, Qi Jiayi began to look at her watch frequently.

Finally, she couldn't help it and said, "Well, Mr. Zhou, I have a meeting with the client later. If you don't have anything else..."

"Oh, is that so? Then I guess I shouldn't take up your time..."

After hearing this, Zhou Wang finally stopped discussing the situation in the Middle East, but what puzzled Qi Jiayi was that he had no intention of getting up.

When Qi Jiayi was confused, he heard Zhou Wang say, "Jiayi, can I trouble you for something?"

"What?" Qi Jiayi was startled by Zhou Wang's sudden change of address, then nodded and smiled, "President Zhou, just let me know. As long as I can do it..."

"It's like this. You know I also studied law. In fact, I have always been curious about the legal profession. Unfortunately, I probably won't have much chance to be a lawyer in this lifetime. It just so happens that I am free today. Can I act as your assistant and go with you to meet the client?"

Zhou Wang smiled, and before Qi Jiayi could speak, he quickly added, "Don't worry, I won't disturb you, just pretend I don't exist..."

"This……"

Qi Jiayi didn't expect Zhou Wang to suddenly make such a request, and she really couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while.

The so-called regulations are obviously not applicable to Zhou Wang.

After hesitating for a while, Qi Jiayi couldn't think of anything wrong, so he nodded and agreed to satisfy Zhou Wang's curiosity.

Next, accompanied by Zhou Wang, Qi Jiayi met the last client who visited today.

The whole process was uneventful, and Zhou Wang really kept his promise and said nothing the entire time, as if he was only participating out of curiosity. Qi Jiayi, who was fully immersed in her work, temporarily ignored his existence.

The only thing that made Qi Jiayi feel a little irritated was that this person was also a chatterbox. He knew that his conversation time was charged a lot, but he still dragged her to chat for more than an hour.

When the meeting finally ended and I politely declined the client's invitation to dinner, it was already past six o'clock.

After seeing the client off in the elevator, Qi Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly turned to Zhou Wang and said, "Mr. Zhou, your curiosity has been satisfied. It's time for me to get off work, so let's..."

"You should go to the parking lot, come with me, my car is parked down there too."

Zhou Wang interrupted her.

Seeing that Zhou Wang did not invite him to dinner, Qi Jiayi immediately nodded and smiled, thinking that this was the best outcome.

The two came to the parking lot of the building together. Qi Jiayi saw Zhou Wang's Lamborghini SVJ63 parked next to his Aston Martin, so he smiled and said, "What a coincidence."

"It's quite a coincidence..."

Zhou Wang also smiled and came to the car. He deliberately took a beat slower. When Qi Jiayi got in the car and was about to start the car, Zhou Wang had just opened the door.

As expected, the Aston Martin was unable to start. Qi Jiayi quickly got out of the car to check the situation. When she saw her tires, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

"what happened?"

Zhou Wang, who had not yet gotten on the bus, looked back in surprise.

"My tire is flat, it looks like it's burst..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang hurried over. When he saw the shriveled left front wheel of the Aston Martin, he couldn't help but frown.

"It does look like a flat tire. It's a bit late now. Why don't you find someone to fix it tomorrow?"

"It seems that this is the only way... Weird, it was fine when I drove here this morning, how come it suddenly had a flat tire?"

Qi Jiayi said helplessly.

"Maybe you hit something when you drove here... It's okay, let the 4S shop come and check it out tomorrow. Come on, take my car, I'll take you home."

"Mr. Zhou, I won't bother you anymore. I can just take a taxi."

When Qi Jiayi heard this, he immediately shook his head and refused without even thinking.

"What's the trouble? It's just something we can do on the way. I remember your house is not far from here, right?"

Zhou Wang didn't say anything and went straight to the passenger seat to help Qi Jiayi open the door.

Seeing Zhou Wang just looking at him, Qi Jiayi couldn't refuse and could only sit in the passenger seat of the Lamborghini.

Somehow, Qi Jiayi had a bad feeling, but after looking at her watch again, she secretly comforted herself...

It’s okay, there’s still time. According to past rules, as long as it’s not completely dark, “she” will not appear.

……

Zhou Wang was right about one thing. Qi Jiayi's residence was indeed very nearby. It was in a residential area called Zhujiang Dijing, located between the East Third Ring Road and the East Fourth Ring Road, and only twenty minutes away from the China World Trade Center CBD.

What annoyed Qi Jiayi was that although he was driving a Lamborghini, Zhou Wang was driving very slowly. Although it was due to the traffic jam during the evening rush hour, Zhou Wang could have accelerated and passed the traffic lights several times, but he stopped at the last moment.

He also called it "safety first".

"Mr. Zhou, could you please drive faster? I feel sick in my stomach."

Later, Qi Jiayi couldn't bear it anymore and had to urge him.

Zhou Wang agreed readily, but the car still didn't speed up much. Qi Jiayi was extremely anxious, but it was impossible for him to jump out of the car halfway. He could only look up at the sky, praying that the last ray of sunset could last for a while.

After a day of agony that felt like a year, the car finally arrived at the Zhujiang Dijing community.

Zhou Wang glanced at the garden community with pure European architectural style from a distance and couldn't help but smile: "This community should not be cheap, right? More than 100,000 yuan per square meter?"

"Almost the same, but not as upscale as Beidu No.1 Courtyard. Mr. Zhou, please stop making fun of me..."

Qi Jiayi forced a smile.

Zhou Wang didn't say anything more, but what surprised Qi Jiayi was that Zhou Wang did not stop at the entrance of the community, but drove directly into the underground parking lot.

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

"My stomach is also suddenly a little uncomfortable. There should be more than one bathroom in your house. I may need to borrow it."

Zhou Wang said with a frown, rolling down the car window to let the security guard at the booth confirm Qi Jiayi's face.

"But……"

Qi Jiayi was caught off guard and didn't expect Zhou Wang to go upstairs too. Before she could figure out how to refuse, the car had already driven into the underground parking lot.

At this point, Qi Jiayi began to feel that something was wrong, but she was not sure what was wrong...

Helpless Qi Jiayi could only attribute everything to "coincidence". After all, Zhou Wang's performance was too natural. Under normal circumstances, Qi Jiayi would not think there was anything wrong.

I can only blame it, today just happens to be that special day...

No matter what, Zhou Wang had to go to the bathroom and leave quickly.

After instructing Zhou Wang to park the car, Qi Jiayi quickly led the way and took the elevator to the top floor, the 15th floor. They opened the door of room 1501 and Qi Jiayi did not ask Zhou Wang to change his shoes. Instead, he pointed directly to the bathroom at the door.

"Mr. Zhou, the bathroom is right here. Could you please be quicker... Well, I'll go back to the master bedroom first. I might be slow. You don't need to tell me when you're done. Just leave on your own. Sorry, I can't keep you here for a while today."

Qi Jiayi spoke very quickly, and after she finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Wang to react, she hurried inside.

Looking at her steps which seemed to be starting to stagger, Zhou Wang seemed to be thinking about something.

……

[Diagnosis record: ...The patient has multiple personalities, which is rare. In the current observation records, a total of four different types of secondary personalities have appeared. However, according to the patient's oral statement, there is also a fifth special personality, which is also the personality that the patient wants to cure the most. This personality usually appears at the end of the month and must meet the conditions of darkness at the same time...]

[Due to lack of observation, it is currently impossible to describe this personality, but the existence of this personality is suspected to cause great distress to the patient...]

……

Remembering the description in the information, Zhou Wang looked out the window at the dark sky and couldn't help smacking his lips.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?
