Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 373 Healing
[“Ji Xiaoxi’s Desire Roulette” has been destroyed]

……

Zhou Wang couldn't help but stay where he was when he heard this system prompt.

Wu Yanqiu was still saying something on the phone, but Zhou Wang couldn't hear it for the time being.

All he could think about was… How is this possible?

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since the system was activated.

The key point is that [Ji Xiaoxi's Wheel of Desire] is a permanent prop, not a temporary prop with a time limit. How can it be damaged?
Zhou Wang noticed that there was an additional line of instructions in the system, so he quickly checked it out.

[It is detected that the bound object Ji Xiaoxi has severed the social relationship with the host. The prop has lost the activation conditions and has been automatically destroyed]

[Because the host still has 1 chance left to draw, the unredeemed rewards have been discounted]

Without checking how much money he had cashed in for the lottery opportunity he had won abroad, Zhou Wang just stared at the word "severed", feeling lost.

He suddenly understood what Ji Xiaoxi meant when she said, "I am more awake than ever before."

She handed her best thing to Zhou Wang in the form of a sacrifice, but it was also like putting a period on it.

Maybe she had already thought about it before she made that phone call last night.

They sat like this for a while until Wu Yanqiu's voice came over the phone again, "...Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Zhou Wang came back to his senses and took a deep breath. "I was a little distracted just now. Please continue."

"I mean, what do we do with this email?"

"When you encounter an artist who wants to terminate the contract, how do you usually handle it?"

"That depends on the company or your attitude..."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow.

"Although the company has contracts of different levels, some basic terms are the same. If it involves a lawsuit, it will be relatively beneficial to the company. Among the previous cases of contract termination, peaceful termination like Hua Suisui's is actually a relatively rare case. It depends on whether you are willing to pursue Ji Xiaoxi's liability for breach of contract..."

Wu Yanqiu's words were subtle, but Zhou Wang already understood what she meant.

All crows are black. Even though Wuyou Media is the number one MCN company in the industry, it must have its strengths and relatively loose restrictions on its artists, but starting a company is not charity after all.

After signing the contract, the company will provide corresponding resources. For the artists, since they have obtained corresponding benefits, they must also bear equal responsibilities.

Although it is not as exaggerated as the various "selling contracts" in the entertainment industry, it is impossible for an artist to leave the company at will.

The "Xiao Huijun" incident that caused a stir on the Internet was, after all, a play directed and performed by the Internet celebrity Xiao Huijun in order to terminate her contract. She even did not hesitate to slander her own innocence for this. It can be seen that compared with the two, the consequences of unilateral breach of contract are definitely what she is more unwilling to bear.

Therefore, Wu Yanqiu was implicitly telling Zhou Wang that if he wanted, Ji Xiaoxi would have to pay a heavy price to terminate her contract with Wuyou Media, and it was not impossible for her to be "ruined".

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now."

Zhou Wang was silent for a while before speaking in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, don't worry. I'll tell you as soon as I contact Ji Xiaoxi..."

Wu Yanqiu, who heard something strange, didn't say much, but just spoke quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wang called the suite's butler again. From the butler, Zhou Wang learned that Ji Xiaoxi had left at around 6 or 7 in the morning...

Amid Ji Xiaoxi's painful yet eager demands, the two of them struggled back and forth last night until after five o'clock. This further proved that Ji Xiaoxi had a plan in advance. Otherwise, who would drag their exhausted body and leave without even taking a rest?

"Mr. Zhou, it's lunch time. Ms. Yang Qiu, the general manager of our hotel, would like to invite you to have lunch with us. Would you be willing to do us the honor?"

The butler said with a smile at this time.

When Zhou Wang heard this, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly he thought of something and agreed.

At this time, Zhou Wangcai took a look at his mobile phone. The remaining lottery opportunity of [Wheel of Desire] had discounted him 1888 million, which had been deposited into his China Merchants Bank account.

Somehow, Zhou Wang did not feel joy. Instead, he stared at the long string of numbers and inexplicably felt a sense of mockery...

I have money but lost my love. Has my life become so bloody?
A moment later, Zhou Wang met Ms. Yang Qiu in the hotel's western restaurant. Ms. Yang Qiu was extremely enthusiastic towards Zhou Wang, not only because Zhou Wang stayed in the Bulgari Suite last night, but also because there was another very important reason, which was that Zhou Wang was a super VIC who had registered within the Bulgari Group.

This change originated from the last time the Jingwang Club opened. Bulgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin visited the club and brought back the news that Zhou Wang had developed the "little blue bottle" to the group headquarters. As a result, the entire Bulgari Group began to pay more attention to Zhou Wang personally.

Originally, except for Hermès, which was deeply influenced by another "Zhou Wang", other luxury brands looked at Zhou Wang differently because of his special status in the Paris Chamber of Commerce. But with the existence of the little blue bottle, it is a different matter.

At least for now, the Chinese branch of Bulgari Group is trying every means to encourage their CEO to join the Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce as an individual.

If the CEO is not suitable, Ms. Yang Qiu, the general manager of Bulgari Hotel, is also a suitable candidate. In short, as long as they can establish a further close relationship with Zhou Wang, they are happy to see it happen.

Zhou Wang could guess their mentality, and he chatted and laughed with Ms. Yang Qiu during the meal. However, he did not comment on Ms. Yang Qiu's wish to make Bulgari Hotel Beidu a member of the Wangyuan Club.

It was not until the meal was almost over that Zhou Wang lit a cigarette for himself and suddenly said:

"Boss Yang, I want to book your Bulgari suite. Is that possible?"

Ms. Yang Qiu was just asking someone to get an ashtray. She was startled when she heard this, then quickly nodded, "Originally this is not in line with our business philosophy, but if this is what you want, Mr. Zhou, then of course we will satisfy you... I just don't know how long you want to keep it for?"

"uncertain."

Zhou Wang shook his head, "It's just temporary. I don't want anyone else to stay in that room."

Yang Qiu turned around and whispered to the suite manager, then thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhou, how about this? The normal price of our Bulgari suite is about 30. I'll give you the lowest discount, a lucky number of 18 per night..."

"Okay, I'll have someone from Jingwang Club contact you later."

Zhou Wang nodded and agreed.

It’s close to 200,000 a night, and 6 million for a month. Before, even if Zhou Wang had this idea, he didn’t have the ability to do it.

But fortunately, he is still well-off at this stage. Not to mention the over 100 million yuan in cash, the Jingwang Club has recovered all its costs on the first day of its opening, and there is still a surplus.

With the gradual joining of many members in recent days, the balance in the public account of Wangzhou Culture Beidu Branch alone has exceeded 100 million, and it is still increasing every day, which has opened up a virtuous cycle. Although at least half of it has to be reserved for the operation of the club, Zhouwang still has a lot of activity funds that can be used.

...Speaking of which, he had received many interview invitations from financial media in the past few days. They wanted to report in depth on the wealth myth created overnight by Jingwang Club, and their words even touted him as a rising star in the Beijing circle, but they were all rejected by Zhou Wang. Occasionally, when he had no choice, he asked Jiang Qingkui to come forward.

After all, he is a hacker and he doesn't know what to say when facing an interview.

He also gave a positive response to the goodwill shown by Ms. Yang Qiu, "I will consider putting your Bulgari Hotel in the second invitation list of the Chamber of Commerce."

“Thank you Mr. Zhou for your trust!”

Finally getting some accurate information, Ms. Yang Qiu felt happy and relieved at the same time, so that she could report to the headquarters.

After dinner, Zhou Wang went back to his room again.

Corridor, bathroom, bedroom, every time Zhou Wang passed a place, the scenes of last night involuntarily emerged in his mind, those crazy moments, and the postures that Ji Xiaoxi was manipulated by him in every place.

Clear, yet distant.

Finally, Zhou Wang came to the big bed in the master bedroom, personally picked up Ji Xiaoxi's torn clothes, and found a pair of scissors to cut off a special piece of bed sheet.

The senior sister’s and Su Yajing’s before seemed to be collected by them themselves. I don’t know if they kept them, but modern women seem to rarely do such things…

While daydreaming, Zhou Wang took another shower, changed into new clothes brought by the housekeeper, and finally left the hotel.

……

In the next two days, Zhou Wang entered a new round of busyness.

In addition to regular social engagements, he is also further sorting out the personnel relations of the Beidu branch, striving to create a situation that is as stable as possible before leaving Beidu.

He did this against all odds...Oh, I almost forgot, he was a dictator and no one opposed him.

In short, after consulting Jiang Qingkui, Zhou Wang directly promoted Huang Duming, who was recognized by Jiang Qingkui, to the position of deputy general manager of the Beidu branch.

Jiang Qingkui still holds the position of general manager, but general daily affairs will gradually be handed over to Huang Duming, just as Zhou Wang expected at the beginning, to train Huang Duming to be his agent in Beidu.

In addition, the Beidu branch has expanded its staff by a large number of staff. For example, a manager who was previously responsible for the operation of the Chang'an Club was poached through a headhunting company to serve as the manager of the Jingwang Club, further freeing up the busy Jiang Qingkui.

Qi Jiayi also officially resigned from Yunshangyun Law Firm and became Zhou Wang's personal lawyer. However, in the past two days, she has been deliberately avoiding Zhou Wang and just hanging out with Jiang Qingkui all day.

Zhou Wang didn't care about this. She was going to the Magic City with him anyway. Let's see where she would go then.
Because of Ji Xiaoxi's matter, Zhou Wang has been reflecting on himself these past two days. He was wondering if it was because he rose too fast that he had lost himself in some aspects. So for the purpose of keeping his mind pure and desires few, Zhou Wang did not touch any woman these past two days...including the sisters Yun Rou and Yun Lan, who were very demanding and a little bit harmful to their kidneys.

There was also a small episode. After passing the interview with Lin Ran United Company's HR, Ji Xiaoxi's future cousin-in-law Li Fei had also joined Wangzhou Culture. However, in Zhou Wang's inadvertent probing, it was obvious that the other party was also ignorant of Ji Xiaoxi's situation.

The only thing that made Zhou Wang laugh and cry was that he didn't know whether Li Fei had followed Cheng Xueqing's advice and actually gave him two packs of cigarettes and two bottles of wine.

The cigarettes were nothing special, they were the Zhonghua cigarettes with tangerine peel flavor that Zhou Wang would never smoke even if he was beaten to death. It was just the two bottles of Moutai... This guy was cheated, and the liquor he bought was obviously fake.

However, Zhou Wang did not expose the other party. Instead, he happily accepted the other party's gift. He understood that this would make Li Fei feel more at ease, and he could find an excuse to return the gift later.

Busy times always pass by extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of October 10th.

Beidu, which had been cloudy for many days, suddenly cleared up. Zhou Wang and his party arrived at Beidu International Airport in a brand new Mercedes-Benz Buffett S business car, the pinnacle version, purchased by the company, driven by Miao Ying herself.

He came to see me off.

Zhou Wang stopped after escorting Jiang Qingkui all the way to the security check. Jiang Qingkui turned around and looked back at him, then glanced left and right.

Lin Ran, who followed behind, understood and pulled the still somewhat confused Xu Lingyue away, leaving the space here to Jiang Qingkui and Zhou Wang.

Beidu's basic foundation has been stabilized. The operation of Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce will be assisted by Qiu Zeyu and others. Jiang Qingkui cannot help Zhou Wang too much, so she has to take Xu Lingyue away first, go to Gui Province first, and then meet up with Zhou Wang in Modu.

"Thank you for your hard work. You have to continue running around for this unscrupulous boss of mine."

Seeing that Jiang Qingkui was just looking at him without saying anything, Zhou Wang started making a joke first.

Jiang Qingkui had no intention of laughing, but just stared at Zhou Wang. When Zhou Wang was a little confused, Jiang Qingkui suddenly said softly, "Relax."

"Ok?"

Zhou Wang looked at her blankly.

"I don't know what happened, but you seem to be very tense these past two days. You act as if nothing has happened, but I can see it, so... relax."

Jiang Qingkui smiled at this time, and her usually cold and beautiful features suddenly had a charming look. "I'm not sure if this will make you feel better, but if it can, I can be shameless for once."

Zhou Wang didn't quite understand what the second half of her sentence meant. While he was stunned and didn't know how to respond, Jiang Qingkui had already taken a step forward, leaned her head forward and kissed him.

She still had her hands in her windbreaker pockets, still looking cool, but at this moment, she made such a bold and romantic move.

Passersby looked at him in surprise, and some even couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to take pictures. Xu Lingyue, who turned back quietly, also covered her mouth and exclaimed, but Jiang Qingkui didn't care. She just kissed Zhou Wang as if no one was around.

Cold and soft.

But when Zhou Wang finally came to his senses and wanted to ask for further help, Jiang Qingkui suddenly retreated, making Zhou Wang's plan fail.

Seeing Zhou Wang's somewhat uncomfortable and helpless look, Jiang Qingkui curled the corners of his mouth and waved at Zhou Wang, "Let's go, my little Mr. Zhou!"

She put on her sunglasses, turned around quickly, and walked towards the security check with her long legs. Xu Lingyue, who had reacted not far away, glanced at Zhou Wang with a complicated look, then hurriedly followed with her suitcase.

It was not until the two women disappeared at the security checkpoint one after another that Zhou Wang withdrew his astonished gaze. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It was hard to define his current relationship with Jiang Qingkui. Although they had been intimate with each other, in reality, they were still in a state of being more than just lovers...

Both of them were eager to take things a step further, but they were restraining themselves, because both Zhou Wang and Jiang Qingkui were extremely sober people, so Zhou Wang didn't dare to give it, and Jiang Qingkui didn't really want it, which led to the current stalemate.

He also didn't expect that the unhappy emotion he tried so hard to hide was actually noticed by Jiang Qingkui, and in order to "heal" him, she actually gave him a kiss in public.

This kiss felt different from all the previous ones. It was less erotic and more like the warmth of an older sister.

Zhou Wang let out a sigh of relief with mixed feelings, then couldn't help but smile. It really was of some use. At least he felt much better suddenly.

Wait, isn’t this another case of “child psychology”?

Zhou Wang, who was in a good mood, suddenly thought of something and his smile froze.

...Damn, I seem to have been fooled again!
