Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 404: Mini Games and Chinese Restaurant

[Yang Hao, you are a good-for-nothing, let's break up! ]

【Please make your choice:】

[1. Beg for her forgiveness and promise to make money]

[2. Agree to break up and leave gracefully]

[3. Use Huabei to borrow 10000 yuan to buy an iPhone to please her]

……

Zhou Wang looked at the three choices that popped up on the mobile game interface and couldn't help but grin.

At this time, Qi Jiayi and Zhong Huilan were reuniting in the living room, so Zhou Wang took Xu Wenxi back to the balcony, leaving them some space to be alone together.

Zhou Wang, who had nothing to do, lay down on the lazy chair and remembered the email that Jiang Qingkui sent him yesterday, so he followed the link in the email and clicked on the small game he was playing at the moment.

"Boss, what game is this?"

Xu Wenxi, who was standing by, was holding a cup of ice cola with a straw in her hand. Whenever Zhou Wang needed it, she would hand it to him for him to take a sip. At this moment, she looked down and saw the game interface on Zhou Wang's phone, and asked curiously.

Because as far as she could remember, Zhou Wang had hardly ever played mobile games.

"It's called 'Financial Freedom Begins with Graduation'. This is the first mobile game developed by Wangzhou Youke, but it's still in the internal testing stage. The company's vice president, Dr. Yan Ruixian, sent me the internal testing link and asked me to give some advice."

Zhou Wang casually selected the first option and explained, "Here, this is the opening scene. Your girlfriend of three years in college wants to break up with you because she dislikes your poverty. According to Dr. Yan, these three branches will lead to different initial routes..."

Zhou Wang finished his explanation with great enthusiasm, but after waiting for a few seconds without any response from Xu Wenxi, he looked up in confusion, only to see Xu Wenxi in a daze.

"Sissi, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine...but boss, isn't this opening too general? Not every girl is so realistic. That's a relationship of several years..."

Hearing Xu Wenxi's tone of loss, Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment before he remembered something.

Xu Wenqian must have been thinking about her own experience, so she felt a little upset...

After realizing what was happening, Zhou Wang angrily slapped Xu Wenxi and said, "Lin Daiyu, you are so emotional even though it's just a game. This is a farming game for men. Do you know what men mean?"

"Ouch!"

Xu Wenqian covered her head and said aggrievedly, "I... I am not speaking up for the majority of women, am I not speaking up for the majority of women?"

"Come on, in today's society, most of the pressure is on men. This is an objective fact. If girls are a little bit pretty and a little bit smarter, their lives will be so comfortable. Do you still want to speak up for them?"

Zhou Wang rolled his eyes. "Let me talk to you again. Did I make you feel wronged or what? What's wrong with a few years of relationship? You're going to be abused by me for decades. If I don't want you anymore, will you die?"

"Even if you don't want me, I will still rely on you... rely on you for the rest of my life."

Xu Wenxi said in a low voice.

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Nothing... Boss, can I play for a bit?"

"Okay, I'll send you the link, but remember to fill out the evaluation questionnaire after you finish playing."

Seeing Xu Wenxi becoming cheerful again, Zhou Wang did not refuse. After thinking about it, he simply sent the link to the group of his "nephews" and several childhood classmates in Yunnan Province, asking them to try it out when they are free.

Making games is not charity, so related recharges will be involved in the games. However, the games developed under the leadership of Zhou Wang must be developed with conscience to ensure that krypton gold is useful but not too exaggerated. However, how to strike a delicate balance, the opinions of high-net-worth people like Zhang Dashao are quite important.

"Ah, Boss, why is my wealth value '-10000' at the beginning?"

Xu Wenxi exclaimed, "Hey, Boss, I saw your name on the rankings. You are actually the richest person in Tomato Town!"

"The one called 'Zhou Wang' is not me, it's Qingkui."

Zhou Wang's mouth twitched, "You chose to give gifts to win back the relationship, so of course you start with '-10000'. Besides, there are only five players in this town right now. Is it difficult to become the richest man?"

"That's right..."

Xu Wenxi chuckled and continued to play, but she did not forget to pass the Coke to Zhou Wang to take a sip from time to time.

After a while, there were some movements in the two groups Zhou Wang shared, especially the group called “We are not old (6)” which was particularly lively.

It is a bit sad to say that as Zhou Wang's status and position gradually increased, his contact with his original friends, namely Liu Zixi and Yang Hao's group, was actually decreasing.

In fact, Zhou Wang's mentality has not changed much, nor does he feel that everyone's feelings have deteriorated. It's just that on the one hand, Zhou Wang's life is indeed very busy now, and on the other hand, it is inevitable that other people treat him subtly differently from before.

One obvious thing is that although they still chat frequently in the group, the frequency with which several people @周望 has dropped sharply compared to before.

There was a feeling...that they were actually afraid of disturbing Zhou Wang for no reason.

This can also be considered a kind of helplessness of "reaching the top". As you keep going up, the number of people around you who can keep up with you is constantly decreasing. The ancient emperors and generals all died alone, which is probably due to this principle.

Liu Zixi: "I think it's quite interesting, much more fun than other mini-games, and it seems like there are a lot of side quests. I think I'll keep playing it, to be honest..."

Lao Ji: "It's fun! I love playing! By the way, Brother Gou, do you have any gift code for your game? Remember to send one when the time comes!"

Yang Hao: "Fuck, Brother Gou, your game is poisonous, why can't I register with my own name, it says 'already occupied', didn't they say it was just launched for internal testing?"

……

After reading it, Zhou Wang couldn't help but shake his head and smile. They were clearly asked to give their opinions, but obviously, even if they really felt there was a problem, they probably wouldn't raise it.

On the contrary, the situation in the “nephew” group is completely different.

Young Master Zhang: "Not bad, but the degree of freedom is still a little lacking. What kind of options are there at the beginning? Why is there no option to slap the opponent?"

Shao Xiaoqi: "+1, Dogecoin woman, you dare to make demands to me?"

Tang Yiming: "The flaws do not outweigh the merits. I think this game is well made. It seems that there are hidden plots. At present, the first map seems to be large enough. I think I have invested a lot of money in it. When will the recharge be open? I will first invest 10,000 to test the waters."

Guo Bing: "@狗哥, I heard you came to Shanghai? Why didn't you contact me? I urgently need a reason to leave home!"

……

Seeing Guo Bing's message, Zhou Wang couldn't help but pat his head.

He had indeed forgotten about this matter. More than a week ago, Guo Bing had already informed Zhou Wang in advance and asked him to contact him when he came to Shanghai, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.

...Although Zhou Wang seriously suspected that Guo Bing was under house arrest by his father again, he needed to rescue him from his suffering.

After collecting everyone's opinions and adding his own, Zhou Wang sent them to Jiang Qingkui and asked Dr. Yan to take a look and see if there was anything that could be improved.

At this time, Xu Wenxi also pulled him and pointed in the direction of the living room through the glass.

Zhou Wang turned his head and saw that Qi Jiayi and Zhong Huilan had already stood up. It was obvious that they had finished their conversation.

Zhou Wang put away his phone, pushed open the glass door and walked out, but strangely, the two women didn't look at him. Instead, they turned their heads away in an unnatural manner.

So Zhou Wang walked around and found that both of them had obvious tear marks on their faces. No wonder they were too embarrassed to let him see it.

"Well, it's only been twenty years since we last met. It's not that serious. You still have a long time to live together..."

"It's easy for you to say that. It's been twenty years, and before today, I even thought I would never see Xiaolan again."

Qi Jiayi wiped the corners of his eyes and said angrily.

"Sister Jiayi, don't pay attention to him. He is a heartless person..." Zhong Huilan also glanced at Zhou Wang, and her words seemed to imply something.

However, after Zhou Wang's interruption, the sad atmosphere in the living room did dissipate a lot, and both women showed a little smile on their faces.

"Why do you call me 'Sister Jiayi'? Shouldn't you call me sister?"

Zhou Wang asked curiously.

"We have to give Huilan some time to adapt, and 'Jiayi Jie' is not bad either. Anyway, it's Huilan who calls me that, and I feel very happy when I hear her call me that."

Qi Jiayi glanced at Zhong Huilan, who was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile.

"It's up to you all. Now that we've finished our parting words, we can go eat. I'm starving."

Zhou Wang waved his hand, yawned and said.

It was only then that Qi Jiayi and Zhong Huilan realized that it was already seven o'clock. The two women naturally had no objection, as they were also crying and feeling hungry.

Zhou Wang called Xu Wenxi, and just before leaving, he remembered something. He turned back and shouted towards the hallway, "Gao Xing, you can come with us."

Qi Jiayi and Zhong Huilan were both shocked for a moment, not knowing what Zhou Wang was shouting at the air, but the next second both women widened their eyes and looked at the man who walked out silently from the corner.

Although it was a blocked corner, it felt as if he emerged from the air, very smooth and strange.

Gao Xing at this moment was no longer the sloppy migrant worker he was yesterday. After he followed Zhou Wang back to the hotel, Zhou Wang asked the hotel housekeeper to contact Hermes to send over a few sets of suitable clothes. He also called a barber to come to Gao Xing's house and spruce up his hair and face.

After all this makeover, Gao Xing now almost perfectly fits the tough guy image that Zhou Wang saw in the movies, a bit like Keanu Reeves.

Although Gao Xing is not actually handsome, his figure and temperament are worse than others.

Qi Jiayi looked at the strange man in front of him and said in a daze: "Who is this..."

"Oh, let me introduce you, Happy, my bodyguard."

"bodyguard……"

Qi Jiayi just nodded and greeted Gao Xing, but Zhong Huilan's face changed slightly, "Mr. Zhou, you mean, he...he has been in the room the whole time?"

Zhou Wang knew what Zhong Huilan was thinking. He was about to explain it tactfully, but Gao Xing shook his head and said to her, "I didn't see it."

Didn't see anything?
Qi Jiayi's face was full of confusion, but Zhong Huilan's face was flushed red, and she glared at Zhou Wang implicitly.

Zhou Wang could only shrug innocently. Of course, he definitely believed Gao Xing...

There is no doubt about the character of a man who can carry hundreds of thousands of dollars, travel from south to north, and sleep in the open air just to fulfill a promise.

Now all Zhou Wang needs to consider is how to improve his loyalty. Although 72 points of loyalty is good, it is still a little lacking. It must at least be increased to 80 points or above, only then will Zhou Wang be completely relieved.

……

As a luxurious five-star hotel, Bulgari Hotel is naturally equipped with high-end restaurants.

In fact, the two restaurants operated by Bulgari Hotel are well-known even in Shanghai.

One is the Italian restaurant IL RISTORANTE, located on the 47th floor, two floors above the suite where Zhou Wang lives. It has won one Michelin star for six consecutive years. The high-altitude view is also unique. It is always full all year round and is a check-in destination for countless urban beauties. You need to make a reservation several days in advance to get a seat.

Half a king crab leg, which costs more than a thousand yuan, has received numerous praises.

The other one is the Bao Li Xuan Chinese Restaurant, located downstairs, just opposite the Bulgari Hotel, which mainly serves Cantonese cuisine.

This one is more famous because the predecessor of this small Western-style building was the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce. It is a historical building itself with many famous calligraphy and paintings inside. It is also a popular check-in spot.

Bao Li Xuan is rated two Michelin stars and one Black Pearl diamond. Of course, even if we put the rating aside, Zhou Wang’s first choice would naturally be to eat at Bao Li Xuan.

He has never been interested in Western food. He might try it once in a while for fun, but generally he would rather eat Chinese food.

As I said... Chinese food is the coolest.

After leaving the room, Xiao Wang and a few others followed, and called Miao Ying and sisters Yun Rou and Yun Lan who were in the room. The group got on the elevator in a mighty manner, passing through the Bulgari lobby, and the turning heads rate was 100%.

After all, Zhou Wang's team is almost fully equipped, with a combination of strong bodyguards in black suits leading the way and beautiful women accompanying him. Anyone who sees it will be amazed...

Whose department is this... Pah, which boss is this, and why does he travel in such a cool way?

However, when they arrived at the door of the small western-style building, Xiao Wang and others stopped consciously. Because of Gao Xing's presence, they didn't need to follow in... There was no room to sit or stand.

At this time, Zhou Wang remembered something. He motioned for the others to follow the hotel manager inside first. He then said to Xiao Wang, "Now that I have hired my own bodyguards, I don't need to trouble you any more. If you want to leave early..."

"It's okay, Mr. Zhou. As agreed, we will protect your safety until Brother Feng finds out the whereabouts of the mastermind behind this. You don't have to worry about us."

Xiao Wang quickly shook his head.

"That's okay..."

Zhou Wang didn't force it. He just thought about it and said, "By the way, Xiao Wang, are you willing to just resign and bring your brothers to work under me?"

"Uh, Mr. Zhou, do you mean to hire us as private security?"

"Correct."

Zhou Wang nodded.

He proposed this matter after careful consideration. No rich person relies on only one bodyguard for protection. Similarly, although Gao Xing has strong personal abilities, he also needs to rest.

Moreover, in certain special circumstances, it is difficult for one person to take care of all aspects. Even if Hua Xia's treatment is good enough, Zhou Wang will always need to go abroad in the future.

Therefore, it is inevitable to form a strong security team and establish a complete personal security mechanism.

This was something Gao Xing brought up when he was talking to Zhou Wangchang last night.

Looking around at this time, Xiao Wang and the other four are actually a good choice.

And even if Xiao Wang's personal ability is not as good as Gao Xing's, as a five-star security guard of Tyrant Company, his level will definitely not be bad.

"It doesn't matter if their abilities are limited. I can train them and help them improve further."

Gao Xing also said this.

Taking all the above into consideration, Zhou Wang came up with this proposal.

"This... Mr. Zhou, I need to think about it, and I may not be able to answer you right away."

Xiao Wang, who was obviously moved, said after hesitating.

"It's okay. Think about it slowly. My invitation is valid until you return. You don't have to worry about the treatment. I never treat my own people unfairly."

Zhou Wang smiled and patted Xiao Wang's shoulder. Just as he was about to turn around and walk into the restaurant, he suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye and was startled.

When Xiao Wang saw Zhou Wang suddenly become dazed, he couldn't help but look in the direction he was looking in confusion.

It was on the street outside the small western-style building, near the fountain at the entrance of the hotel. Some pretty girls in COS costumes were handing out flyers to passers-by. I don't know what they were promoting.

"Mr. Zhou?"

Xiao Wang didn't know what was so interesting about this. Just as he was about to ask, Zhou Wang suddenly raised his foot and walked quickly over there.
