Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 358: Like a Fish in Water
"Hahaha, congratulations, believe me, today is your lucky day too!"

Although Zhou Wang now has over 100 million yuan in cash in his card, the joy of receiving red envelopes has nothing to do with his own balance.

Zhou Wang, who had received a total of 500,000 or 600,000 red envelopes from this group of "nephews", was of course very happy, while the scheming boy Zhang Dashao was strongly despised by everyone. After they finished making a fuss, Zhou Wang smiled and introduced the two beautiful women around him.

"You should have all met my secretary Jiang Qingkui. This is Lin Ran, Sister Ran, my personal assistant. I will also greet you at the door. She will take you in."

Young Master Zhang and the others also knew that now was not the time to talk, so they nodded immediately and walked in under the guidance of Lin Ran.

Lin Ran walked gracefully in her high heels, and her sexy curves were outlined by the tight cheongsam. Zhang Dashao and others who were following behind her consciously avoided her gaze when they saw her.

"Old Ruan, where do you think Brother Gou recruited his secretaries and assistants? Not to mention their good looks and good figures, they are also very elegant. Ten pure girls can't compare to their queenly demeanor!"

Zhou Yiquan, who was lagging behind, couldn't help but nudge Lao Ruan's shoulder and whispered.

Old Ruan glanced at him, frowned and asked, "Boy, you don't have any thoughts about the people around Zhou Wang, do you?"

"How is that possible? Damn it, Lao Ruan, who do you think I am? Even though I am lustful, I have my limits!"

Zhou Yiquan immediately said unhappily, "I'm just envious. Envy, you know what I mean? Aren't we going to work with Brother Gou on the big project in Miao Village now? I was thinking I should hire an assistant for myself. But after I posted a job posting on Boss Zhipin, guess what happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"All the people who sent me resumes are from MY. In the skill column, they either filled in ice, fire or poison dragon. How can I play this game?"

When they heard Zhou Yiquan's cursing, everyone was a little stunned and couldn't help laughing.

"How much do you pay?"

"Thirty thousand a month is the starting price. Isn't that high?"

Zhang Dashao and Tang Yiming, who had relatively more social experience, knew where the problem lay as soon as they heard it, and their lips twitched.

"How much is the average salary in Mingcheng? You start at 30,000. How can a normal person think this is a serious job?"

"That's right. You must have specifically limited the gender and age. If people see it, isn't it obvious that you are supporting someone?"

Faced with the two people's complaints, Zhou Yiquan couldn't help but touch his nose, still a little puzzled.

"You mean I was thinking of giving you more salary but it turned out to be a mistake?"

Seeing that Zhou Yiquan didn't believe it, Young Master Zhang directly asked Lin Ran, who was leading the way.

"Sister Ran, can you please tell me how much Zhou Wang paid you?"

"My current basic salary is 28,000 yuan."

Lin Ran found the conversation interesting, so she didn't hide anything and told the truth. She only added at the end, "But I should be the lowest among the people around Mr. Zhou, so I have no reference value."

Lin Ran and Jiang Qingkui didn't get along well. They didn't communicate much except about work, but she unexpectedly got along well with Miao Ying.

That taciturn little Miao girl is inexplicably very likable.

Although Miao Ying was quiet, she was not scheming. She basically answered whatever Lin Ran asked. From Miao Ying, Lin Ran learned that her current base monthly salary was 50,000 yuan. Xu Wenxi, the assistant in charge of finance, had already reached 80,000 yuan. Needless to say, Jiang Qingkui also made at least 100,000 yuan a month...

So Lin Ran knew that among all the subordinates around Zhou Wang, his salary was indeed the lowest, if Huang Duming was not counted.

Originally Lin Ran was very envious, even a little jealous of Miao Ying.

After all, Miao Ying's job should be the most leisurely. Most of the time, she only needs to stay in the car to listen to music and watch anime. For example, when Zhou Wang went to France some time ago, Miao Ying, who had nothing to do, was on paid vacation...

Given Zhou Wang's personality, he would not restrict them to stay in any particular place, which meant that if Miao Ying wanted, she could even go on a trip, as long as she came back before Zhou Wang.

Lin Ran would not even be jealous of the pair of SPA sisters around Zhou Wang. After all, although their salaries were also ridiculously high, in Lin Ran's own mind, with how lustful their boss was, they probably had to suffer every day.

Lin Ran's vague jealousy towards Miao Ying came and went quickly because he heard that Miao Ying's initial annual salary was only 300,000, but it increased to 600,000 in just over a month.

The same is true for Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenqian...

So Lin Ran is now basically full of longing and motivation, and wants to work hard to get Zhou Wang's recognition.

As for whether she would be subjected to the "unspoken rules" of the lecherous boss, Lin Ran didn't think much about it. She had a kind of desperate idea... Anyway, Zhou Wang is young and handsome, and generous to women. I won't suffer any loss anyway, so who cares!
"Fuck, only 28,000?"

After hearing Lin Ran's answer, Zhou Yiquan was stunned.

He thought that a woman like Lin Ran, who was obviously not a vase, would cost at least three to five hundred thousand a month to make her willingly become a "personal assistant" who would be viewed with tinted glasses, right?

Who knew that even 30,000 yuan was not needed...

"So you see, it has nothing to do with how much money you spend...score people."

Young Master Zhang glanced at Zhou Yiquan meaningfully.

Zhou Yiqun also understood that the key still depends on who you work for... Oh, forget it, how can he be compared with Zhou Wang? Didn’t you see that Young Master Zhang often suffers in front of Zhou Wang?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yiquan was no longer angry, and even felt inexplicably happy. His strange look made Young Master Zhang puzzled.

"As expected of a club in Beijing, the decoration here is so classy that it's not comparable to other clubs. It doesn't look magnificent at first glance, but it has a sense of low-key luxury that makes it very comfortable to look at!"

Passing by the porch dominated by black and gold tones, Tang Yiming couldn't help but sigh.

"This should be Zhou Wang's work. The original Jingcheng Club really has the magnificent feeling you described. I've been here a few times before. After all, it was the wealthy style that was popular in the 1990s. It's tacky now. Compared with the style in front of me, there's a huge difference."

Young Master Zhang said with certainty.

"You're right. The club has indeed undergone a new round of renovations. Our boss spent a full 30 million on the decoration and facilities of the club..."

Lin Ran explained with a smile.

Thirty million...

No one gasped, they just looked at each other woodenly, all numb.

The question of how much money Zhou Wang actually has is often one of the hot topics they discuss privately, but to this day, no one can give an accurate guess.

After all, it always felt like every time they met, Zhou Wang was refreshing their understanding.

Soon, Lin Ran led them all the way to the largest banquet hall in the club. After the dignified etiquette lady at the door opened the heavy wooden doors, the melodious sound of violin playing came into their ears, followed by the chatting and laughter of the guests who had already arrived.

Regarding today's banquet, Zhou Wang did not do anything innovative. It was just the most old-fashioned but most appropriate "live music + buffet catering" format.

It's just that in terms of details, Zhou Wang obviously strives to give all guests the best experience. In addition to a wide variety of cold tables with mainly Western food, different open windows are set up in the corners of the banquet hall, supplying Japanese seafood, Wagyu barbecue, freshly made private dishes and so on.

A separate bar counter can also meet the needs of people with different needs, but in fact, the ready-made drinks served on site are enough for anyone to find fault with.

"The foreign liquors are all Louis XIII, and the champagnes are all vintage Dom Perignon and Louis Roederer. Could it be that the Chinese Zodiac Moutai is the lowest grade among them?"

Tang Yiming couldn't help but grit his teeth after taking a glance.

Damn Zhou Wang, he was really willing to spend so much. There was no doubt that Zhou Wang spent a huge amount of money on this opening party. Compared with that, the red envelopes they gave were just a small profit.

"That's a celebrity, Wang something, I know the girl next to her, Miss Bai, I used to like the TV series she starred in."

"Oh my god, Miss Li and Miss Gu, my two favorite goddesses are here... Miss Li is really old. She was so beautiful when she was young. Do you think it would be too low for me to ask for an autograph and take a photo with her now?"

"It's a bit low, you should at least have a phone number or WeChat or something!"

Everyone looked around and saw many celebrities in the banquet hall, and couldn't help but chat and laugh in low voices.

Of course, given their backgrounds and horizons, they don’t think too highly of these popular stars. It’s just that they are in Yunnan Province, which is relatively far away from these people, so it’s still a bit novel for them.

As for Mr. Zhang, who has the broadest vision, these so-called stars are completely out of his sight. Wherever he looks, he sees real "people".

At this time, as he walked, he was also constantly introducing to Tang Yiming who was humbly asking for advice beside him.

"That's Feng Yuanzheng, the third generation young master of the Feng family. You should have read about his grandfather Feng Tianming in a book... The incident of the Jinmen Hotel being surrounded by XX that was once circulated on the Internet, this is the real person."

"Wang Hai, Vice Chairman of CITIC Group, they are the owners of Capital Building. Mr. Wang is also a landlord, so it's not surprising that he appears here."

"Liao Jianli, the chairman of Qiangsheng Group, and his brother Liao Xiaoqiang are next to him. Both are legendary figures in the Kyoto circle and models of self-made success..."

"Vice Director Zhou of Huaxia TV..."

"That pretty girl's last name is also Zhou, but I forgot what it was. Next to her is her father Zhou Tao, a well-known securities tycoon in Beijing. At one point in his life, he was known as the richest man in Beijing."

"Hey, Jiang Yisen is here too, but he's just a idiot. He has nothing good to offer except his family background. If his brother Jiang Minghao was here too, he would be worth paying attention to..."

There were at least thirty to fifty guests present at this moment, and even Young Master Zhang could not recognize all of them. However, as one of the potential heirs of the Zhang Group, Young Master Zhang had interactions with many of them, so he still recognized quite a few of them.

Tang Yiming listened with great interest. As an ambitious young man, he also memorized the faces of these people in his heart. However, as Zhang Zhiyuan continued to introduce them, Tang Yiming gradually felt something was wrong.

"Brother Yuan, these people...were they all invited by Brother Gou?"

Tang Yiming stopped in a daze.

"Since it's his club opening, then of course..."

Zhang Zhiyuan's voice suddenly stopped and the smile on his face froze.

He already understood what Tang Yiming meant.

The two looked at each other and saw the hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.

How come Zhou Wang has only been in Beidu for a short time and already has such a large and top-notch network of contacts?

They clearly remembered that Zhou Wang had said in the group that this should be his first time in Beidu...

If you say that Zhou Wang is lying, that's not right. Zhou Wang is only a few years old. It's even more terrifying to think about it this way.

"Do you think we are worrying for nothing? Judging from the demeanor Zhou Wang has shown, it seems that he doesn't seem to be very concerned about the Xue family."

When Tang Yiming was shocked, Lin Ran had already stopped. She pointed at a few people sitting at a table by the window in front of her, turned around and whispered to Zhang Zhiyuan:

"Young Master Zhang, Mr. Zhou said that you should know Mr. Qiu, so he asked me to bring you directly to see him."

Zhang Zhiyuan looked up and saw Qiu Zeyu standing in the middle of the small circle, holding a glass of champagne and chatting and laughing with the people around him. Suddenly he understood.

"I do know him. Thank you for showing me the way. Go ahead and get busy."

After Lin Ran left, Zhang Zhiyuan walked forward first and greeted him from a few steps away:

"Brother Yu!"

"Hey, Zhiyuan?"

Hearing the voice, Qiu Zeyu turned around, and when he saw Zhang Zhiyuan, he couldn't help but laugh, then came over and gave Young Master Zhang a bear hug.

Young Master Zhang was a little uncomfortable at first. After all, although he and Qiu Zeyu knew each other, they were not that familiar with each other before. However, before coming here, Young Master Zhang had heard Zhou Wang mention that Zhou Wang and Qiu Zeyu were getting along well now, so because of the relationship with Zhou Wang, Young Master Zhang also subconsciously felt close to him.

"Brother Yu, the last time we met was about a year or two ago. Let me think about it. It should have been when Sun Guangmao got married..."

"Yes, in Qindao, hahaha, I remember you were drunk that day, and I think you even went on stage to sing "Same Time, Next Year"? I'm not saying anything bad about you, brother Zhiyuan, but it's not appropriate for you to sing this kind of song at a wedding. It makes it sound like there's some kind of story between you and the bride!"

"...Brother Yu, you remember it very clearly."

"Uh, no, there really is a story?"

"Sun Guangmao's wife...is actually my first love."

"Fuck!"

As both of them wanted to get closer to each other, the relationship progressed rapidly. Young Master Zhang even revealed an embarrassing incident of his own. In a short period of time, the two of them were already arm in arm, as familiar as old friends.

Then Young Master Zhang introduced Tang Yiming and others to Qiu Zeyu. Upon hearing Qiu Zeyu's name, Tang Yiming and others were extremely enthusiastic.

After all, before coming, Young Master Zhang had already told them about the famous "Four Young Masters of Beidu", and Qiu Zeyu was one of them. Of course, now that Xue Peng is facing imprisonment, he can only be called the "Third Young Master of Beidu" in the future.

Qiu Zeyu sent away the guests who had come to make friends with him, and sat down with Zhang Zhiyuan and the others. As they toasted each other, Young Master Zhang felt that the time was almost ripe, and finally smiled and said:
"Brother Yu, I see that Brother Gou is opening his business today. He must be doing well in Beidu, right?"

“To say ‘flourishing’ might be an understatement.”

Qiu Zeyu nodded and said with emotion, "I haven't heard that Zhou Wang has any foundation in Beidu before, but the storms he stirred up after coming to Beidu are not something that a so-called outsider can do. Speaking of which, Beidu hasn't been so lively in a short period of time for a long time."

Young Master Zhang and the others were a little confused for a moment. From what Qiu Zeyu said, besides the Xue family's affairs, were there other things that happened?
"Then the Xue family shouldn't be a threat to Zhou Wang, right?"

"It's not that simple..."

Qiu Zeyu shook his head. "I originally thought that if it was just the Xue Ren Group, it wouldn't be a big threat to Zhou Wang. The only one we need to be on guard against is Xue Mingyuan. Although he's old, his inner behavior is still as eccentric and treacherous as when he was young. He doesn't follow the ordinary path... But recently, I heard some bad news."

"What's the news?"

"I'm afraid there are more than just the Xue family who have a problem with Zhou Wang."

Qiu Zeyu looked around with a serious expression, then spoke in a low voice.

……

"Sister Bingbing, do you mean that there are others who want to target Zhou Wang?"

In another booth against the wall not far away, Miss Gu widened her eyes and looked at Miss Li nervously.

Miss Gu was wearing a low-cut V-neck evening dress made of black tulle today, with only a light red cardigan on the outside. Although it covered her back and shoulders, a large area of ​​white skin was exposed at the neckline. Her proud and beautiful figure made Miss Li a little distracted.

Such a bold outfit is no longer something she can pull off at her age... It’s great to be young!

With her tall and sexy figure and delicate features that are extremely exotic, every time Miss Li looks at Miss Gu, who seems to have been kissed by Nuwa, she will be glad that she spent a lot of money to sign her. Even though she is surrounded by scandals and has a lot of negative information, with this appearance, what else can she ask for?

This is indeed the case. Even though she often plays the role of a "vase", Miss Gu's ability to attract money is unquestionable, and she is already showing signs of becoming her number one female boss.

For the worse, this may be an opportunity... For example, Hermès, which almost never hires celebrities to endorse its products, has opened up the position of "Global Brand Ambassador" this time.

Unfortunately, Miss Li has tried her best, but at the moment, there is still little hope.

"Sister Bingbing?"

Seeing that Miss Li was taking a long time to answer and seemed a little distracted, Miss Gu could not help but speak again.

Miss Li came back to her senses and saw Miss Gu's anxious look, and she couldn't help but frown.

The invitation to the opening of Jingwang Club was not sent to Miss Li, but to Miss Gu, and for this reason Miss Gu specially turned down an announcement.

At first, when Ms. Li heard that Ms. Gu was going to support her friend's new store, she didn't take it seriously until Ms. Gu's agent quietly told her that Ms. Gu spent three or four hours just on makeup and dressing, and even went to a beauty salon for treatments in the morning. Only then did Ms. Li realize something was wrong.

Given Miss Gu's rather carefree personality, how could she be so troubled by ordinary friends?
Under Miss Li's questioning, Miss Gu reluctantly told her that the so-called "friend" was actually Zhou Wang.

Miss Li knew she couldn't stop her, so she had to follow her out of worry.

Now thinking about the indifferent smile Zhou Wang had given her when they arrived at the club, Miss Li still felt a little uncomfortable——

She didn’t know if it was the stereotype left by their first phone call or because he came uninvited, but she always felt that there was some kind of sarcasm in Zhou Wang’s smile.

After entering the room, because Miss Gu's chattering was always about Zhou Wang, showing her strong interest in Zhou Wang, Miss Li, who was a little annoyed, directly told her some "rumors" she had heard recently.

Sure enough, seeing Miss Gu's nervous look at this moment, Miss Li became a little angry and a little bit unbelievable.

Could it be that this silly girl is really attracted to Zhou Wang?

Come on, you only met once, and in such an awkward situation...

She couldn't understand Miss Gu's train of thought, but she also knew that this girl was truly "love-brained". If she couldn't dispel her inexplicable affection for Zhou Wang in time, it was hard to say whether something outrageous would not happen afterwards.

Thinking of this, Miss Li nodded and said seriously:

"Well, it's a very simple truth. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. And you have to understand that this is the Beijing circle... Some people in this circle have a sense of community. When your sister and I wanted to squeeze in, we were covered in bruises, and that was with someone's introduction. Not to mention Zhou Wang, a pure outsider."

Seeing that Miss Gu was still confused, Miss Li knew that her IQ was obvious, so she had to explain it in more detail.

"Let me give you an inappropriate example. It's like when you first become famous, do you think there are more people in the circle who are willing to praise you or more people who want to step on you?"

"Well, of course there are too many people who are stepping on me. Otherwise, why would someone go to my ex-boyfriend to expose my dirty laundry..."

When this matter was mentioned, Miss Gu looked very angry.

"Isn't that right?"

Miss Li shrugged. "Zhou Wang hasn't integrated into this circle yet, but he's already stirring up trouble in it. There are also many people who don't like him. Besides, you have to know where this place was before."

"Where?"

Miss Gu blinked her big eyes.

"Beijing Club, silly sister!"

Looking at the stupid beauty in front of her, Miss Li said helplessly, "This place used to be a benchmark for the wealthy in Beidu. Even if it has fallen into decline, it still carries such a great reputation. Why do you think the previous boss who took over couldn't run it anymore? Was it really just because he didn't have enough connections and strength?"

"Ah, I see. Just like winning the Best Actor or Best Actress award, it requires more than just acting skills?"

"Yeah, that's about the idea."

Miss Li nodded and said softly, "Whether it's the previous boss or Zhou Wang who took over now, in the eyes of many people, they probably lack the qualifications to become the owner of this place."

While Ms. Li was explaining the interests involved to Ms. Gu, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open again, and Zhou Wang, dressed in a well-fitting high-end suit, walked in with what was probably the last wave of guests of the day.

This group of guests, who were full of business elite temperament, seemed to have come together by appointment. There were many blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners among them, which made many people look at them in surprise.

"Hey, Sister Bingbing, look, isn't that Ms. Kelly?"

Miss Gu, who immediately looked over, couldn't help but have her eyes sparkle when she saw Zhou Wang.

A face lover like her always has a fixed and single aesthetic. When she first saw Zhou Wang’s video, she quietly followed him with her secondary account. She really has no resistance to this kind of angular, manly handsomeness... Especially when Zhou Wang has such beautiful abdominal muscles!

Just when her eyes inadvertently fell on those foreigners, Miss Gu suddenly discovered something.

"Ms. Kelly?"

Miss Li, who was reminded by Miss Gu, also quickly looked up. When she found that the foreign woman walking next to Zhou Wang and chatting with Zhou Wang with a warm smile was indeed Ms. Kelly, Miss Li showed an incredible expression.

Ms. Kelly, currently the Executive President of Hermès Greater China, is one of the core executives of Hermès.

China is Hermès' most important market in the world, and Ms. Kelly, who is able to serve as the decision-maker here, has a close relationship with the Hermès family.

Although the other party cannot directly decide the endorsement of Hermès' "Global Brand Ambassador", it can undoubtedly play a significant role in this matter.

Recently, in order to help Ms. Gu win endorsements, Ms. Li’s most important public relations target has been Ms. Kelly.

Unfortunately, the results so far have not been very good. Ms. Li just had a cup of coffee with the other party’s assistant Lin Xiaoxiao, and she hasn’t even met the person in person…

She never expected that Ms. Kelly would appear here.

No, it's not just Ms. Kelly. As her eyes swept over, Ms. Li's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Dean Tucker, senior president of LV Greater China, Sit Elliott, general manager of Brioni Asia, Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bulgari, and even Ms. Zou Bilan, president of Patek Philippe China, who most people may not recognize...

Why are the Chinese leaders of these top luxury brands gathered here?
Because of Zhou Wang?

Although Miss Li couldn't figure it out, it didn't stop her from being ecstatic. Even if she could take advantage of this opportunity to establish a good friendship with any one of them, today's trip would not be in vain.

……

"Everyone, please feel free to do as you please."

After entering the banquet hall, Zhou Wang greeted a group of Chinese CEOs of top luxury brands in English with a smile, and then raised the champagne in his hand.

"Zhou, don't worry, we won't be polite, don't worry about us."

These CEOs, who were always guests of honor wherever they went, waved their hands one after another, saying that Zhou Wang didn't need to entertain them specially and told him to do as he pleased.

Zhou Wang really didn't have that much time. After all, among this group of people, some, like the president of Chanel and the CEO of Bulgari, had come here shamelessly, and Zhou Wang didn't send them invitations.

Most of the guests present today are Zhou Wang's personal connections that he has accumulated in Beidu during this period of time. Except for Ding Yi and Xia Xiwei, who he did not invite in order to avoid some uncontrollable troubles, almost everyone else is here. He needs to take this opportunity to build relationships with everyone.

Xu Lingyue followed behind with a tray, and Jiang Qingkui was responsible for pouring wine for Zhou Wang. Zhou Wang walked through the banquet hall holding a glass of champagne, constantly greeting people.

"Director Zhou, the celebration that day was the most exciting evening party I have ever seen since I was a child. I don't know which master directed it... What, you are the chief director? I really didn't notice..."

"Boss Wang, I heard that the building is going to build a second special elevator for us. How can I do this... By the way, I have asked the finance department to open an account with CITIC. Also, I will talk to you later about the special loan you told me about last time!"

"Ms. Bai, why don't we add each other on WeChat? The main reason is that I don't have a good self-control. I'm afraid I can't control myself... Ah, you are single, so what are you waiting for? Should I scan you or you scan me?"

He speaks differently to different people and different things to different people. After several months of growth and dealing with all kinds of people, the young man has now lost most of his immaturity and is becoming more and more comfortable and at ease in such occasions.

Jiang Qingkui, who was following behind, glanced at Xu Lingyue, whose pretty face was flushed and eyes were full of admiration, and shook his head secretly...

These little girls are so gullible.

However, she had to admit that Zhou Wang showed a maturity that was inconsistent with his age, and he was indeed very charming.

Everyone is resisting the ways of the world, and no one can escape from them.

But just when Jiang Qingkui was unconsciously becoming a little obsessed, when Miss Gu stood up and took Zhou Wang's arm without any hesitation, her eyes turned cold again.

Although Zhou Wang was trying her best to avoid being too intimate with Miss Gu, she was keenly aware that this was not the first time the two had dealt with each other.

You have to know that Miss Gu is wearing a low-cut dress. If she sticks close to Zhou Wang like this, wouldn't that be giving Zhou Wang the advantage for free?

She didn't believe that no matter how carefree a woman was, she could be so insensitive to something that could affect her "innocence".

So one Miss Yang isn’t enough, and now you have to deal with another Miss Gu?

Jiang Qingkui gritted his teeth secretly.

Every time she felt emotional because of Zhou Wang's deep affection, Zhou Wang would always pour a basin of cold water on her...

Zhou Wang also realized that Miss Gu was too close to him, and he also sensed the murderous aura looming behind him on the right. He could only laugh dryly, and took the opportunity of clinking glasses with Miss Li to calmly pull his arm away.

"Mr. Zhou, you seem to have a good relationship with Ms. Kelly. As far as I know, she rarely attends private business occasions..."

Miss Li took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and clinked it with Zhou Wang's, then smiled and asked a tentative question.

“Maybe it’s because I spend enough money at Hermès.”

Zhou Wang didn't know why Miss Li was asking this, but he had a general impression of her, so he just spoke vaguely.

A big customer?

Miss Li pondered for a moment after hearing this. Although this reason was a bit far-fetched, it seemed to be the most reasonable explanation.

"Then Mr. Zhou, could you introduce me to her? I have admired Ms. Kelly for a long time..."

"Oh?"

Zhou Wang said with a half-smile, "I don't think this is necessary. With Miss Li's never-weak status and position, it would be easy for her to get to know anyone. Why would she need me to introduce her?"

Hearing Zhou Wang deliberately put emphasis on the word "weak", Miss Li knew that Zhou Wang was using the content of the phone call that day to mock her. She immediately felt indignant, but she was unwilling to really bow her head in front of Zhou Wang, and the smile on her face instantly became forced.

"Boss Zhou, my presence here today is already a gesture of goodwill, so why are you being so aggressive?"

"So I have to thank you for giving me face? I, Zhou Wang, am not a stingy person. I just hate it when others can't put themselves in the right position. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I still have some good feelings for Miss Gu, why do you think you are qualified to stand here?"

"you……"

"Then Miss Gu, please do as you please."

When Miss Li was extremely angry, Zhou Wang had already sneered and turned away.

Who is this?
Miss Li, who didn't believe in evil, immediately adjusted her expression, picked up her wine glass, and took Miss Gu to the direction of Ms. Kelly and others.

Zhou Wang didn't pay any more attention to them, but just continued to greet them along the way. When he arrived at Qiu Zeyu and others, Zhou Wang could finally take a breath.

They were all brothers, so there was no need to pretend. Zhou Wang put down the champagne in his hand that he was about to vomit, picked up the juice on the table and rinsed his mouth, then took the cigarette handed to him by Qiu Zeyu, lit it with the help of Tang Yiming, took a deep breath, and then sighed in relief.

Just when he looked up, Zhou Wang couldn't help but feel puzzled when he saw that neither Qiu Zeyu nor Zhang Dashao and others looked very happy.

"What happened to you? Did you drink fake wine? This shouldn't be the case. This is my territory..."

"Brother Gou, has there been no movement from the Xue family?"

Qiu Zeyu didn't want to joke with Zhou Wang, and he came straight to the point and expressed his concerns, "I'm afraid this is not normal, you'd better..."

Before Qiu Zeyu finished speaking, the phone in Zhou Wang's hand started ringing.

When he saw that the call was from Huang Duming, who was in charge of welcoming guests downstairs, he gestured to Qiu Zeyu and answered the call.

"…Who are you talking about? Okay, I get it. It's okay. Just let them come up."

When Zhou Wang hung up the phone, Qiu Zeyu, who had heard something, quickly asked, "Who is here? Could it be Xue Mingyuan?"

"Not really. It was someone else I didn't expect... He said his name was Yan Lingchuan."

Zhou Wang shook his head and said thoughtfully.

"Yan Lingchuan?"

Qiu Zeyu was stunned for a moment, then stood up in surprise, "What is he doing here?"

In the circle, among the famous "Four Young Masters of Beidu", even Jiang Minghao, who had a powerful family background, was not accepted by many people when he was first included in the list.

It was not until later that Jiang Minghao proved himself through Mingchuang Capital that he established his reputation.

Similarly, Qiu Zeyu also went through this process. As he grew older and achieved success in his career, the voices of gossip gradually subsided.

Not to mention Xue Peng, to this day, there are still many people who think that he is seriously unworthy of his reputation.

But among the four, there was an exception.

This person is recognized as the best among the four, both in terms of family background and personal abilities. There has been no controversy since he was included on the list from the very beginning.

Everyone believed that he was the one who could truly bear the title of "One of the Four Young Masters of Beidu".

But later, probably because this person felt that such a name was too ostentatious and did not meet his family's expectations, his name was gradually replaced by Wanka Sicong.

But in the hearts of the real second generation of Beidu, he is still the No.1.

This person... is the uninvited guest Yan Lingchuan.
