Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 394 First Stop

At 11:, in the dining room of the presidential suite, Zhou Wang, who was almost starving, finally had a late breakfast.

In addition to Zhou Wang and Xu Wenxi, other participants included Qi Jiayi, Lin Ran and Qi Jiayi's assistant Sura.

Sisters Yun Rou and Yun Lan knew their limits at this time. Although Zhou Wang called them, they still chose to stay in their rooms.

Not to mention Miao Ying, when Zhou Wang didn't need her, she had basically no presence.

At this time, Zhou Wang was the only one sitting at the table, because Qi Jiayi and others were still busy greeting Lin Ran.

It's not just Qi Jiayi. Lin Ran, Zhou Wang's second assistant, also met Xu Wenxi, the first assistant, for the first time. Three women make a big drama, let alone four women. Zhou Wang estimated that it would take them 40 minutes to sit down, so he chose to eat first.

The suite manager asked Xu Wenxi, who in turn asked Zhou Wang. Zhou Wang was thinking that for his first breakfast in Shanghai, he must prepare something with local characteristics, so he let the manager arrange it.

Crab roe noodles + crab roe soup dumplings + chrysanthemum fish.

This is the breakfast arranged by the housekeeper.

To be honest, it tasted pretty good, the sauce was plenty, and it was very filling. The only drawback was that it was the same feeling as when Zhou Wang had eaten in Hangzhou... because they were both salty and sweet, and too easy to get sick of.

Given Zhou Wang’s hunger level, he could have eaten at least two bowls of noodles, but he was almost full after eating one bowl.

Turning around, he saw the four women still chattering, from the weather in Shanghai to each other's outfits. Zhou Wang had to speak up.

"Are you going to eat or not? If not, I will ask the butler to leave!"

Hearing their boss's unpleasant words, Lin Ran and Xu Wenxi quickly stood up and walked over, followed by the little assistant Sura who stuck out her tongue. Only Qi Jiayi was still slow and glanced at Zhou Wang provocatively.

Faced with the fact that she felt a little guilty, Zhou Wang chose to pretend not to see it and turned around to take a shower.

After soaking in the bath for a while and trying the massage function of the bathtub, Zhou Wang found that it was still not as comfortable as the hands of Yun Rou and her sister. Then he wiped his body with a dull look, found a new set of clothes he brought yesterday to change into, and simply fiddled with his hairstyle. When Zhou Wang came out, the women had almost finished eating.

"Boss, what's your schedule for today?"

Lin Ran asked first.

Zhou Wang fell into deep thought after hearing this.

In fact, he has a lot to do in Shanghai. Zhou Wang must go and see in person the two industries in which he had obtained equity in the early days, Shanghai Pinghe School and Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital.

In addition, there are the rewards obtained by lighting up the "Prestigious" badge and the "Male God" badge last time, the office building in IFC and the luxury house in Tomson One, which also require time to be received.

There are many trivial things...

For example, since we have asked Xia Xiwei's second uncle for help, we should visit him and invite him to a banquet. We also need to visit Guo Bing's father, Guo Wangshan.

In addition, there is a certain idea in Zhou Wang's mind that also needs to be realized in the Magic City. That is his top priority in coming to the Magic City, but it still requires some preparation.

When Zhou Wang was lost in thought, his cell phone suddenly rang. After looking at the caller ID, Zhou Wang walked aside and answered the call.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, did I disturb your lunch break?"

A polite voice came from the other end of the phone.

The person who called Zhou Wang was called Zhao Shusheng, the richest man in Sanhe Town, his grandmother's hometown. He had received some help from Zhou Wang unexpectedly and had always been grateful to Zhou Wang. It was also through him that Zhou Wang donated two million to his hometown.

However, after a period of no contact, Zhao Shusheng's way of addressing him changed. It was no longer the affectionate "brother" but the more formal "Mr. Zhou".

This is normal. The so-called friendship can only be maintained through continuous contact. If there is no contact for a period of time, even the best friendship will fade, not to mention that the two people have only met a few times.

"I've already answered the phone, what do you think, brother?"

Zhou Wang smiled.

After Zhao Shusheng was stunned for a moment, his tone became much warmer, and he exclaimed: "Hahaha, brother Zhou, when it comes to the art of speaking, you are the best young man I have ever seen!"

"Brother, there's no need for us to flatter each other, is there something wrong?"

"It's like this, brother. I'm in Mingcheng right now, and I happened to be having dinner with Secretary-General Bai of the Yunnan Chamber of Commerce. He learned that we are from the same hometown, so..."

When Zhou Wang heard Zhao Shusheng's previous sentence, he immediately understood what was going on.

It was because of the follow-up waves caused by the Wangyuan Chamber of Commerce last time. After hearing some rumors, the secretary-general of the Yunnan Chamber of Commerce tried to contact Zhou Wang several times, but was rejected by Zhou Wang for various reasons.

This time, he probably heard that Zhao Shusheng had some relationship with him, so he invited Zhao Shusheng to be his lobbyist.

Zhou Wang thought about it. Because of some issues during the election, Zhou Wang had some resentment in his heart. But now, the secretary-general had been left out for so long by him, and Yunnan Province was his hometown after all, so it was impossible for him to completely leave there.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wang smiled and said, "How about this, brother, please tell Secretary Bai that I am indeed not in Yunnan Province during this period. The next time I return to Mingcheng, around the end of the year, I will take the initiative to contact him and invite him out for dinner..."

Zhao Shusheng was delighted when he heard this. "Okay, brother, I'll tell him in a moment."

But Zhao Shusheng heard from Secretary-General Bai that he personally called Zhou Wang several times, but Zhou Wang's attitude was not very clear. But now after he mediated, Zhou Wang immediately became sure. This difference was Zhao Shusheng's face.

Although Zhao Shusheng was delighted, he also understood that this honor was given to him by Zhou Wang. He immediately said solemnly:

"Brother, I'll remember this favor. Together with the last time, I owe you even more. If you need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask for my help!"

Zhou Wang could probably guess that Zhao Shusheng probably had something to ask of Secretary-General Bai, otherwise he wouldn't have called him so abruptly. However, he didn't ask any further questions and just responded with a smile.

After a few more pleasantries, before hanging up the phone, Zhao Shusheng seemed to remember something.

"By the way, brother, I just heard you say that you are in the Magic City now?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just that Zhao Yu's daughter. Wasn't she transferred to the Magic City by you before? I wonder if you have visited her recently..."

Zhao Yu?

Zhou Wang reacted in his mind for a moment and realized that Zhao Shusheng was talking about "Sister Xiaoyu", the gentle older sister from his hometown in his memory.

When Zhou Wang returned home that time, he happened to encounter Sister Xiaoyu having an epileptic seizure. Later examinations revealed that she had chronic renal failure. Zhou Wang had just acquired shares in Jiahui International Hospital at that time, so he asked Jiang Qingkui to help Sister Xiaoyu and her daughter Linlin complete the hospitalization procedures and transfer them to Shanghai.

Afterwards, because of various busy schedules, Zhou Wang had almost forgotten about this matter. It was probably the same for Jiang Qingkui, who had helped them with the formalities. It was only when he heard Zhao Shusheng mention it on the phone that Zhou Wang suddenly remembered it.

"I just landed yesterday, so I haven't had time yet."

Zhou Wang thought about it in his mind and answered.

"Oh, that……"

"Brother, what's the matter? Just tell me if you have something to say."

Zhou Wang heard the hesitation in Zhao Shusheng's tone and said in surprise.

"It's like this. A few days ago, the police came to the village, looking for Zhao Yu, and it seemed that they wanted to take her back to take a statement. I told them that Zhao Yu was seriously ill and was receiving treatment in another place. They said that they needed a certificate from the hospital, so I was thinking if I could trouble you to get it for me so that I don't have to make another trip..." Zhao Shusheng said a little embarrassedly.

"Of course, it's no problem for me, it's just a matter of convenience, but..."

Zhou Wang raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Why did the police find Sister Xiaoyu's house and even involve taking a statement?"

"Oh, it's all caused by Sister Xiaoyu's husband. I heard he ran away from prison and we haven't found him yet..."

"prison Break?"

Zhou Wang was stunned when he heard this.

He did remember that his aunt had told him that Sister Xiaoyu's unreliable man had been in prison three times and he didn't know where he was being reformed, but escaping from prison?
Zhou Wang suddenly remembered something, "Is it the big news in Yunnan Province a while ago?"

"Yes, brother, you should have paid attention to it. After all, it caused such a big sensation. There were a total of six fugitives. The other five were caught or shot on the spot within a day. The remaining one who escaped was Zhao Yu's husband..."

Zhao Shusheng also felt a little emotional, "I didn't expect Zhao Yu's husband to have such a skill. I was also shocked when I heard about it."

"It's been over a month, right? The man hasn't been caught yet?"

Zhou Wang recalled that he was still in Hangzhou when he heard the news. It felt like a long time had passed. With the current sophisticated surveillance system, it would normally be difficult for a living person to hide.

"Here's the weird part. It's said that Wang Meng... oh, that is, Zhao Yu's man, has disappeared from the face of the earth. Even if he hid in the mountains, it's impossible that there's no trace of him, but we can't find him..."

"Okay, brother, I got it. I'll find someone to issue the certificate. Just give me the delivery address."

Zhou Wang listened for a while, understood what happened, and then hung up the phone.

Walking back to the living room, seeing Lin Ran and the others still waiting for his decision, Zhou Wang thought for a moment and said:

"Let's go to Jiahui International today. Jiayi, you can come with us."

When Qi Jiayi nodded, Xu Wenxi had already stood up.

"Then I'll contact the hospital first."

Lin Ran also wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Zhou Wang.

"Sister Ran, you don't have to go. I'll give you two days off."

"Ah...why?"

Lin Ran felt disappointed when he heard this and couldn't help but ask.

She remembered that last night, she had wanted to look for Zhou Wang before going to bed, but was stopped by Qi Jiayi who was chatting in her room.

"Didn't you hear Mr. Zhou say that he was going to have dinner with his assistant today?"

"I heard it, but you should have finished eating by now, right?"

Lin Ran was confused at that time.

"Xiao Ran, let me ask you, if you were going to have dinner with Mr. Zhou, would you wait for him to come to you?"

"Then I must go find him... Uh, Sister Jiayi, what do you mean?"

Lin Ran reacted at this time.

"So, Zhou Wang went to see his assistant without telling her in advance. He meant to give her a surprise... Do you think it's enough to just have a meal, or do you think Mr. Zhou will pay attention to you if you knock on the door now?"

Qi Jiayi said meaningfully.

Lin Ran still had some doubts at the time. Of course, she knew that Zhou Wang’s other assistant was also a woman, but she couldn’t have an improper relationship with President Zhou, right?
It was not until this morning when he saw Xu Wenxi in Zhou Wang's room, and considering Xu Wenxi's outstanding looks, Lin Ran immediately knew that what Qi Jiayi said was completely right.

So when Lin Ran heard that Zhou Wang was going to "abandon" her and only take Xu Wenxi with him, she couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

Zhou Wang had turned around and was about to leave, but when he heard Lin Ran actually ask him "why", he couldn't help but look at Lin Ran in surprise.

Soon, Zhou Wang caught something from Lin Ran's expression, and he couldn't help but knock on Lin Ran's head.

"What are you thinking? I saw you've been busy in Beidu for so many days, so I just gave you a break. Why don't you even want the paid leave with shopping reimbursement?"

"Shopping reimbursement?"

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, then she realized that she had overthought. She was ecstatic and nodded like pecking rice, "Yes, yes, yes, of course!"

"It's not unlimited, don't buy too much..."

Before Lin Ran left happily, Zhou Wang shouted again.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the black Rolls-Royce limousine provided by the Bulgari Hotel and two business cars driven by security personnel Xiao Wang and others were driving smoothly on the way to Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital.

During the trip, Zhou Wang received a call from his uncle Zhao Guilin.

"Wangwang, Boss Zhao came over just now and delivered a lot of furniture to your grandmother's house. I saw that they were all very expensive imported furniture... He also said that he would help us renovate the house and would ask a designer to come and take a look tomorrow..."

The uncle's tone was anxious but also somewhat helpless. "He said you asked him for help. Look at this..."

Zhou Wang felt helpless when he heard this.

Needless to say, it was obvious that Zhao Shusheng really didn't know how to repay himself. After all, from his perspective, he already had everything that he had, and he also had what he didn't have, so he could only make up for it in these aspects.

However, what the other party did was just right. Helping grandparents renovate the old house was originally within Zhou Wang's expectations, but Zhou Wang had not freed up the time yet, so he could only accept the favor.

"Well, I asked him to help. Uncle, please help coordinate and try to make the old man live more comfortably..."

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wang thought about it and decided to send a message of thanks to Zhao Shusheng.

"Boss, turn the corner ahead and you'll reach Jiahui Hospital."

At this time, Xu Wenxi turned to Zhou Wang in the back seat and said, "President Qi said he would hold a reception ceremony in the lobby. Do you think I should call him first?"

Zhou Wang was about to nod when he suddenly had an idea.

"Cherry, find a suitable place to pull over."

Miao Ying stopped the car as instructed.

"Xixi, come over later. I'll go check it out myself first."

Zhou Wang gave an order, discussed with Xiao Wang and others, then got out of the car and walked alone towards Jiahui International Hospital not far away.
