Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 441 Apology Ceremony

Although He Jinglun was asking, his eyes had actually locked onto Zhou Wang the first moment.

Apart from Secretary Ge who was still lying on the floor, Zhou Wang was the only man sitting in the room at the moment. He was too conspicuous. When He Jinglun asked, everyone's eyes followed suit, which explained everything.

It's quite funny...

Everyone was just a little surprised when He Jinglun appeared, but when He Jinglun quickly rushed over and slapped He Jiang again, somehow, everyone felt that it was natural.

It seemed like it would be abnormal if He Jinglun didn't do this.

From Xu Qing to Director Gao, and then to Secretary Ge, the development of things formed a strange formula, which allowed everyone to predict the current result after some calculations without even thinking.

"I am Zhou Wang."

Seeing that He Jinglun indeed showed up within half an hour, Zhou Wang felt a little emotional.

What Guo Wangshan told him on the phone was to wait a moment, and that no matter where He Jinglun was in Shanghai, he would be there within half an hour.

If not, Zhou Wang doesn't need to worry about it. He just needs to find a way to leave the scene and he will handle it.

At that time, Zhou Wang also wondered why Guo Wangshan assumed two results.

But from the perspective of human nature, it is actually not difficult to guess.

It is true that He Jinglun made his fortune with the help of Guo Wangshan, but now he can be considered a successful man. Maybe on the surface he is still respectful and grateful to the Guo family, but Guo Wangshan is probably not sure what he really thinks in his heart.

Therefore, the 30-minute time limit was not only the time limit that Guo Wangshan set to help Zhou Wang solve the problem, but also the time limit that Guo Wangshan wanted to see He Jinglun's attitude from.

Given He Jinglun's current status and position, if he really rushed to the scene as soon as possible, it would mean that he at least still had a certain degree of awe in his heart, and the situation would be under control. Even if Guo Wangshan did not show up, there should not be any big problems.

But if he hadn't come...

Then perhaps things will escalate to another level, and Guo Wangshan may have to step in personally.

Zhou Wang was not sure whether Guo Wangshan had other intentions in this. After all, for big guys of this level, sometimes you can't just listen to what they say.

In short, no matter what, now that He Jinglun has arrived, it is undoubtedly a relatively good result, and Zhou Wang doesn't have to think too much.

"Mr. Zhou is so young. I have heard about your generosity in Beidu. It is amazing, amazing!"

The smile on He Jinglun's face grew brighter, and he strode over, hunching his body slightly as he moved, trying to make his eyes level with Zhou Wang's.

It was not until He Jinglun walked up to him that Zhou Wang stood up with a faint smile, stretched out his hand and shook hands with He Jinglun.

"Mr. He, I have also heard of your great name for a long time..."

He was sure that even if He Jinglun had really heard of him, it was probably through quick inquiries within half an hour.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for He Jiang to know nothing about himself.

He rose from Mingcheng and never deliberately kept a low profile along the way. Too many things have traces to follow, but to people who don't pay special attention, they are just like the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water. Most people may get a glimpse of them, but they will not be impressed.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I, He Jinglun, don't have any reputation. Even if I do, it's just an empty reputation that people laugh at!"

He Jinglun didn't care about the age difference. He just held Zhou Wang's hand with both hands and shook it continuously, with a very humble attitude.

"Mr. He, being overly modest becomes hypocrisy... Xixi, go make some tea. Mr. He, how about we sit down inside and talk?"

As for Zhou Wang, except for not showing much expression when He Jinglun appeared at the beginning, he became quite enthusiastic at this time and directly extended an invitation to He Jinglun.

"It's my pleasure and honor!"

He Jinglun laughed out loud. "It just so happens that I've been rushing along the way and I'm thirsty. Mr. Zhou's proposal is exactly what I want, exactly what I want..."

Zhou Wang smiled in his heart. Although He Jinglun only had an elementary school diploma, he seemed to be particularly fond of using idioms.

Zhou Wang also responded to the "no negligence" attitude revealed in his words, and laughed as well:
"To be honest, I didn't find today's meal very interesting, but now that I've unexpectedly met Mr. He, I feel like this trip was worthwhile!"

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the private room as if no one was around.

From beginning to end, He Jinglun never paid attention to other people, as if other people were air, and no one dared to speak out when he was talking to Zhou Wang.

As for He Jiang, apart from the slap that He Jinglun gave him at the beginning, neither Zhou Wang nor He Jinglun had ever looked at him again.

Just like Zhou Wang said.

At this level of interaction, he doesn't even have the qualifications to be taken seriously.

It was not until the two of them entered the private room, Gao Xing followed in, and Xiao Wang stood silently at the door and gently closed the door that the eerie silence at the scene was finally broken.

Especially He Jiang, who had been sitting on the ground with his face covered, but only at this moment did he hum softly, with residual fear in his eyes.

He fears nothing in this world except his father.

Because he had witnessed how ruthless his father had been along the way, and he also knew that although He Jinglun had not received much education, he could not catch up with him in the ability to judge the situation.

After successfully clearing his name, He Jinglun always smiled at everyone and almost never hit him again.

But at that moment just now, He Jiang could feel that He Jinglun really wanted to kill him.

He knew that what his brother-in-law said was right. Zhou Wang... was probably someone that even He Jinglun couldn't afford to offend.

He Jiang was confused, but when his father took action, he accepted the result in an instant.

Suppressed discussions of shock spread out in the space, and everyone had a different expression.

Secretary Ge and Director Gao fell into deeper despair.

If He Jinglun has to treat these people so cautiously, doesn't it mean that their fate is already determined?

For example, Yu Duo's family was in confusion, but also felt an indescribable excitement.

Only Yu's mother couldn't help but wonder, what did Yu Duo mean when she said that Zhou Wang was her roommate's boyfriend?
And the women next to Zhou Wang, I always feel that their relationship with him is not simple...

However, people like Jian Zhuoran fell into a deep and irrepressible regret.

Because when Zhou Wang and He Jiang and others were confronting each other just now, they all subconsciously stayed away from them.

Maybe Zhou Wang wouldn't care at all, but for them, this was undoubtedly equivalent to missing an opportunity to make the final decision.

What could be better than adding icing on the cake, than providing timely help?

Perhaps Shi Tian was the only one who felt relatively calm. She simply loved Bai Feifei to death... She didn't know how Bai Feifei could stay close to Zhou Wang at that time. She was just glad that Bai Feifei ignored her gaze to stop her.

"I'll raise Feifei's contract to a higher level when I get back!" Shi Tian thought silently, feeling that he was already one step ahead.

……

In the antique private room.

The girl who made tea was driven away. Xu Wenxi sat behind the tea table. Gao Xing was hiding in some corner. Zhou Wang sat down at the tea table first.

There was no one else around at this time. When Zhou Wang was wondering why He Jinglun didn't sit down, he saw He Jinglun facing him and suddenly bowed deeply.

"Boss Zhou, I, He Jinglun, failed to educate my son properly. Please forgive me for any offense!"

Zhou Wang was really surprised. Although he had expected that if He Jinglun could lower his attitude in front of other people, he would probably behave more humble when the two were alone. However, the fact that He Jinglun could lower his attitude so much still exceeded Zhou Wang's psychological expectations.

You know, the person standing in front of Zhou Wang at this time is not an ordinary billionaire, but a top boss who is extremely famous in the Magic City and has a net worth of at least tens of billions.

After a moment of shock, Zhou Wang quickly stood up and supported He Jinglun.

"Mr. He, you are too polite. You and Brother Guo have been friends for decades. Seriously speaking, I should be your junior. How can an elder apologize to a younger person?"

Zhou Wang shook his head and said, "Besides, I didn't suffer any loss, did I?"

When He Jinglun heard Zhou Wang call Guo Wangshan "brother" when he was out of sight, his expression changed subtly. Unable to resist Zhou Wang's support, He Jinglun finally stood up again.

He said with emotion: "It's a good thing that Brother Shan and I have this little friendship, otherwise I really don't know how this matter would end today... Mr. Zhou, please accept this apology!"

As He Jinglun spoke, he reached into his pocket, took out an envelope and handed it to Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang didn't know what was in the envelope, but he vaguely felt that it seemed to be a little heavy. He immediately refused and said, "Mr. He, it is precisely because of Brother Guo that I cannot accept this so-called apology. You have given me enough face by coming here in person. How can I still ask for more?"

"Boss Zhou, in such a hurry, could I have prepared anything valuable? It's really just a small token of my appreciation, and it didn't even cost me anything..."

……

Half an hour later.

Under the gaze of everyone in the corridor, the tightly closed door of the private room was reopened. He Jinglun walked out first, and Zhou Wang stopped at the door of the private room.

"Mr. He, I won't see you off then."

"Mr. Zhou, please stay. Please stay... Today is not the right time. I will personally host a banquet to apologize to Mr. Zhou some other day, and then we can drink and chat happily!"

"Then I'll wait for Mr. He to call me. Bye."

Finally, Zhou Wang smiled and waved to He Jinglun. He Jinglun took a few steps back before turning around and walking out.

In a corner of the corridor, He Jiang, who was covering his face with ice, saw He Jinglun appear and quickly stood up. When He Jinglun passed by him, He Jiang stammered, "Dad..."

He Jinglun said nothing, just glanced at him and then walked forward.

He Jiang's body trembled noticeably, but he still followed silently. The two bodyguards behind him also limped after him, and the group soon disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Zhou Wang, who was standing at the door of the private room at this time, retracted his gaze. He walked back to the tea table silently. Seeing Xu Wenxi still staring at the envelope curiously, he said, "Open it and take a look. I also want to know what Mr. He can give out with only half an hour of preparation time."

At this time, Lin Ran just walked in. After hearing what Zhou Wang said, she also came over curiously.

Xu Wenxi carefully opened the envelope. When she saw what was inside, she was startled. "Boss, there seems to be a bunch of keys in it..."

"key?"

Lin Ran became more interested. "Car? House? Well, it should be a house. Considering He Jinglun's wealth and the fact that he is making amends, it's impossible for him to just spend a few million and be done with it, right?"

"I don't think it's a car..."

Xu Wenxi said this in an approving manner, and after getting Zhou Wang's signal, she took out the key from inside.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary metal key, about the same size as an ordinary door key, but there is a yellow shark-shaped foam board hanging on the key ring, and no one knows what it is used for.

"Well, this key looks like an ordinary door key. Even if it is a house, it doesn't look like a mansion. If it is an apartment, it's not right. Nowadays, apartments all have smart access control..."

"No need to guess."

Zhou Wang's eyes narrowed. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the key to the yacht... The yellow foam board is a float specially used for yacht keys. It can prevent the key from sinking in the water."

"yacht?"

Lin Ran and Xu Wenxi were both a little surprised, and then Lin Ran said excitedly, "If it's a yacht, it shouldn't be cheap. I saw that the better luxury yachts that Wenxi looked up before were worth tens of millions, right?"

"I'm afraid there's more..."

Zhou Wang did not show any surprise, but frowned, because at that moment he thought of more.

How much the yacht given by He Jinglun is worth is another matter. What is really interesting is that Zhou Wang had only recently thought about buying a yacht. How could He Jinglun prepare such a gift that was exactly what Zhou Wang needed in just half an hour?
If it's just a coincidence, it's fine, but if not...

That's a bit scary if you think about it carefully.

"A gift of apology, but it also seemed to show off his muscles unintentionally... None of these billionaires are simple!"

Zhou Wang felt a little emotional.

After thinking about it, Zhou Wang handed the key and the envelope with the dock address to Xu Wenxi, asking her to go back and find out what kind of yacht He Jinglun had given her, and then decide how to deal with this gift appropriately.

"Is everyone else still out there?"

Then Zhou Wangcai asked about Lin Ran.

"Secretary Ge has already left. Director Gao is still waiting in the corridor. I don't know what he wants to do. Mr. Jian and his group haven't left either. They are all determined to wait for you. I have just asked them to go to the lobby to rest... By the way, there are also the girl surnamed Yu and her family, and Mr. Qi. I have arranged them to the private room next door..."

Lin Ran picked at his fingers and told Zhou Wang about the situation outside the private room.

"Let's go to the next room first."

Zhou Wang tapped his fingers on the table and turned to walk out of the private room. Only when he reached the door did he remember something and turned back to say, "Xixi, come too."

"Ah, I... am I going too?"

Because of Zhou Wang's previous statement of sovereignty over Yu Duo, Xu Wenxi, who already knew that the two had known each other for a long time and that their relationship was not simple, felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Many messy thoughts flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help but hesitate...

But she couldn't possibly resist Zhou Wang's orders, so after hesitating, she hurriedly followed.
