Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 377 Long time no see
"Did you and Jiang Minghao have any PY transactions? The relationship between the two of you can't be so good, right?"

Before entering the main hall, Xia Xiwei still couldn't hide her curiosity, and pulled Zhou Wang aside and asked in a low voice.

She was shocked just now, but now Xia Xiwei thought about it carefully and felt that something was not right. After all, Jiang Minghao was not an ordinary person. After Yan Lingchuan announced his withdrawal from the "Four Young Masters of Beidu" a few years ago, Jiang Minghao was undoubtedly the leader of the four.

Since he could give Zhou Wang such a big face, there must be a deeper interest involved.

Sure enough, Zhou Wang also revealed a helpless expression after hearing this, "It's nothing, it's just that... the soon-to-be-established Wangzhou Pharmaceutical will probably have to accept the investment from Mingchuang Capital."

"Wangzhou Pharmaceutical?"

Xia Xiwei asked curiously, "Is this the company you plan to use to sell that little blue bottle?"

"Correct."

"Why do I feel like you're just being ungrateful after getting an advantage?"

Xia Xiwei's mind worked quickly. She guessed what Zhou Wang was thinking from his expression of no resistance and said firmly, "You didn't intend to reject Jiang Minghao, did you?"

Zhou Wang was not surprised that Xia Xiwei guessed the truth of the matter. He just smiled and said nothing more.

After he successfully established a foothold in Beidu with the help of Wangyuan Club, although his momentum was at its peak in a short period of time and many people wanted to get close to him, he knew that he had to pay for everything he gained.

At this stage, Zhou Wang is still whetting the appetites of all parties, but this cake must always be divided. Even someone as close to him as Qiu Zeyu cannot be ambiguous with him at this time, because he represents more than just himself.

In addition to vested interests, there are other considerations for attracting more people from the Beijing circle to join.

For example, if it weren't for Yan Lingchuan's efforts in registering Wangzhou Pharmaceutical, it would have taken an unknown amount of time to get a "Drug Business License".

For example, the establishment of a pharmaceutical company requires a lot of capital and involves building factories, etc. With the participation of these people, everything will become extremely simple.

Zhou Wang did not make a clear statement when he and Jiang Minghao were drinking tea that day, but they both knew that the Jiang family could not be excluded. Although there was such a tacit understanding, Zhou Wang might have to act recklessly. It was also because of such concerns that Jiang Minghao would naturally not turn against Zhou Wang easily, which led to the scene just now.

Besides, his so-called marriage with Xia Xiwei had never entered the substantive stage. In addition, Zhou Wang had already shown intimacy with Xia Xiwei. With Jiang Minghao's character, he would not lose the big picture for a woman who was doomed to be impossible.

Everything was within Zhou Wang's expectations.

……

Yan Baiqiu was probably still a little confused, and she looked at Zhou Wang with doubt and surprise, but she had experience and knowledge after all. If she had been biased before, then now, from Jiang Minghao's abnormal behavior, she finally realized something, but she could no longer say the words to ask Zhou Wang to leave.

It was not until now that Zhou Wang felt that he had entered the normal rhythm of his first visit to the girl's home.

Because she had silenced Yan Baiqiu, Xia Xiwei, who had achieved most of her goal, became cheerful. She took Zhou Wang to the yard and got to know her relatives again.

Xia Xiwei's grandfather had three daughters and one son. Yan Baiqiu was the eldest sister, and there was a second sister who did not come back because of work, and Yan Siyun was the youngest sister.

The aunt in the yard is the wife of Xia Xiwei's father Xia Qixian's younger brother, and the third aunt is Xia Qixian's younger sister. In addition, the two men sitting in the main hall, one is Xia Qixian's younger brother, and the other is the second sister's husband.

Zhou Wang was actually a little dizzy after listening to this. At this time, he would sigh that foreign languages ​​are better. All men can be called “uncle” and all women can be called “aunt”. Why does it need to remember so many complicated relationships between characters?

But actually, Xia Xiwei's parents' families are relatively small. After all, Zhou Wang's mother only has six brothers and sisters. If they bring their girlfriends home in the future, they will be the ones who will have to scratch their heads...

Thinking of this, Zhou Wang couldn't help feeling happy, which made the aunt and the third aunt opposite him look at him strangely.

Is this young man really as capable as Siyun said, and can persuade Jiang Minghao to back down with just one sentence?
Why does he look not so smart...

Zhou Wang, who was diverted by Xia Xiwei, quickly came to his senses, took out the gifts he had prepared in advance from his bag and gave them to his two aunts and his aunt Yan Siyun who was always staring at him.

“Bulgari?”

The third aunt laughed and said, "Xiao Zhou, this bracelet is not cheap, is it? It must be tens of thousands?"

My aunt Yan Siyun, who had been looking at another Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet for a long time, suddenly said, "Not only that, these should all be custom-made jewelry, starting at six figures."

"what?"

The aunt, who had been smiling reservedly and not saying anything, suddenly had a trembling hand and almost dropped the jewelry in the box.

She had originally thought that although the jewelry Zhou Wang gave her would definitely not be cheap, if it cost tens of thousands of yuan, considering their family background, it would be in line with the etiquette of Zhou Wang's first visit.

But more than 100,000 is too much...

"This is too expensive. It's not suitable. Xiao Zhou, we can't accept it..."

The third aunt reacted and quickly refused.

"Yes, yes, Xiao Zhou, we appreciate your kindness, but you should take these jewels back."

"Aunt, Third Aunt, and Little Aunt, I bought all these jewels wholesale from abroad. My house is almost full. If you don't accept them, I won't have anywhere to put them..."

Zhou Wang sighed.

"……wholesale?"

Such a niche word stunned several women of different ages on the spot.

"Yes, you see, I even took a short video at the time... Anyway, elders, don't feel embarrassed. Just think of it as doing me a favor. Otherwise, if you keep putting it down, these jewels will just be covered in dust."

As Zhou Wang spoke, he took out his mobile phone and showed the jewelry video he had shot last time.

When they saw the video showing an entire warehouse filled with a wide variety of jewels, the three women fell silent.

The key point is that Zhou Wang didn’t seem to have lied to them. From the video, the bracelet Zhou Wang gave them was really the most inconspicuous... In other words, for Zhou Wang, this was indeed not a valuable gift.

In addition, Zhou Wang looked like he was asking for their help, so before the three women knew what was going on, they accepted Zhou Wang's gift without thinking.

Xia Xiwei also felt a pang of pain in her teeth. She had never expected that Zhou Wang would be so generous...

As a person who often moves around in the fashion circle, Xia Xiwei's eyes are sharper than those of her three aunts. She can tell at a glance that among the three bracelets, even the cheapest one will cost at least 200,000 yuan.

In other words, the gift Zhou Wang gave to her three aunts alone was almost a million.

As for the argument that the warehouse was full of money and would soon be covered with dust, Xia Xiwei certainly wouldn't believe it. How could anyone treat money so lightly?

In the final analysis, Zhou Wang deliberately said that the jewelry in his hands was worthless just to relieve the psychological burden of his aunts and uncles.

Thinking of this, Xia Xiwei's eyes became more complicated.

Before entering the house, she teased Zhou Wang that the gifts he prepared were just ordinary gifts, which were not enough for a grand birthday banquet. Zhou Wang seemed to have acquiesced to this fact. On the surface, Zhou Wang accepted her "threat" and agreed to pretend to be her boyfriend. Now Xia Xiwei understood how pure Zhou Wang's intention was to help her.

It is clear that their current relationship is more like that of "netizens" based on text chat.

Touched, Xia Xiwei blinked imperceptibly, and before entering the main hall, she tightened Zhou Wang's hand and said softly:

"Zhou Wang, thank you..."

"Ok?"

Zhou Wang glanced at Xia Xiwei blankly. He could feel that Xia Xiwei's eyes were quite fiery at the moment, but he really didn't understand why Xia Xiwei was thanking him.

In fact, Xia Xiwei was overthinking it. From Zhou Wang's perspective, he really didn't feel that the gifts he gave were very thoughtful. What he said was true. He had no intention of cashing in the huge amount of jewels, so he had to give them away anyway.

There are no ordinary people among Xia Xiwei’s relatives, which can be regarded as “effective connections”.

Moreover, he solved a few items of inventory in this way, and Zhou Wang felt inexplicably happy.

Although he didn't understand, Zhou Wang still enjoyed the look in Xia Xiwei's eyes at this moment... After all, her eyes were so dark and bright, it was really unbearable to look at them like that.

If I could change the scene and let her look up... ahem.

Pure heart and few desires, pure heart and few desires.

Zhou Wang silently recited the formula twice, quickly clearing up the random thoughts in his mind, and then followed Xia Xiwei to greet his younger uncle Xia Yance and second uncle-in-law Wang Shang, with whom he had not had time to talk just now.

When facing these two people, because of the nature of their work, Zhou Wang's attitude became much more serious, and the gifts he gave were no longer expensive, but more common tea, cigarettes and alcohol.

Of course, "average" is only relative. Gifts worth thousands of dollars cannot be said to be shabby. But compared with the gifts given to a few women, they do seem ordinary.

Not only did Xia Xiwei's gaze towards Zhou Wang become more sticky because he knew how to handle things so well, but her uncle and second uncle-in-law also showed a hint of appreciation in their expressions.

Especially the second uncle-in-law. He just heard Xia Yance say that the watch Zhou Wang was wearing was worth six million. In addition, they would not have a natural prejudice against Zhou Wang like Yan Baiqiu, so the second uncle-in-law was still worried that Zhou Wang would give a too expensive gift.

He couldn't refuse, but he couldn't accept it either, because it would make everyone look bad.

This kind of ordinary cigarettes, alcohol and tea is just right.

Xia Yance and Wang Shang had no idea what had happened outside the door just now, but they could get a glimpse of it from Yan Baiqiu's performance at this moment, so they were both quite curious about Zhou Wangdu.

But before the two of them had time to have a deeper chat with Zhou Wang, at this moment, accompanied by a greeting from outside the door, a middle-aged man in a suit and with a profound face, accompanied by Yan Siyun, strode in.

Seeing the weather-beaten man, Xia Yance and Wang Shang quickly stood up, their expressions unconsciously becoming serious.

Yan Baiqiu, who was still a little distraught, felt relieved when she saw her husband appear.

Although Yan Baiqiu would not reveal anything for the time being because she couldn't figure out Zhou Wang's background, she was still somewhat resentful in her heart, and at this moment she couldn't help but have some hope.

Because she knew her husband's character, he was always strict with his juniors, no matter how outstanding they were.

For example, Yan Lingchuan, who is well-known in Beidu, once worked with Xia Qixian and was scolded by him more than once and could not even raise his head.

"Big brother!"

"Brother-in-law!"

Following the greetings from several people in the room, Zhou Wang also stood up, curiously looking at this man who seemed to have a certain aura.

The man who came was Xia Xiwei's father, whom he had seen many times on TV. He was the third biggest boss in China's propaganda field, Xia Qixian.

"dad!"

Xia Xiwei's attitude towards Xia Qixian was completely different from that towards Yan Baiqiu. She immediately called him affectionately and ran forward to hold the other's hand.

Facing Xia Xiwei, although Xia Qixian was still serious, his eyes and brows were visibly gentler.

He looked at Xia Xiwei helplessly.

"You're almost thirty years old, how come you're still so out of shape... Have you met your grandparents?"

"Brother Chen said the doctor is still giving them health care..."

Xia Xiwei shook her head.

"Oh, I forgot it was this time."

Xia Qixian suddenly realized and nodded to Xia Yance and Wang Shang who had stood up. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhou Wang standing on the other side.

It was also at this time that Xia Qixian noticed Zhou Wang's existence.

"Dad, he is Zhou Wang, you should know his..."

When Xia Xiwei saw her father's eyes fall on Xia Qixian, she immediately stepped forward and said with a smile.

She once eavesdropped on Xia Qixian's phone call with someone else, and it was from that time that she first knew Zhou Wang's name.

This is also the origin of her original curiosity about Zhou Wang.

In her impression, her father, who was always serious, mentioned a young name in a rare complimenting tone...

This was one of the reasons why Xia Xiwei dared to ask Zhou Wang to come today. Making Yan Baiqiu angry was just a side effect. In Xia Xiwei's opinion, maybe Zhou Wang could really help her solve the problems she had been having...

Although Xia Qixian was busy, he still worried about her life-long affairs, especially after she entered the entertainment industry.

Does Xia Qixian know Zhou Wang?
Hearing Xia Xiwei's tone, everyone in the room was surprised, even Xia Yance and Wang Shang.

With Xia Qixian's status and vision, it is impossible for him to remember ordinary young people. In his eyes, Jiang Minghao is just "okay".

While everyone was stunned, Xia Qixian first blinked slightly. In the eyes of Yan Baiqiu, who was particularly familiar with him, this was a sign that Xia Qixian was quickly adjusting his emotions.

But...why?
The next second, the confused Yan Baiqiu knew the answer.

Before Xia Xiwei said "my boyfriend", Xia Qixian, who had originally had a solemn expression on his face, quickly broke into a friendly yet enthusiastic smile and walked quickly forward.

"Mr. Zhou, long time no see. How are you doing recently?"
