Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 443 Drawing Heart
"Mr. Zhou, are you serious?"

No one noticed the strange expression on Xu Wenxi's face. Yu Zetao just couldn't sit still anymore and stood up with an excited expression.

He never expected that Zhou Wang would help them find out as soon as he found out, without even waiting for them to speak.

Mother Yu, who was originally thinking about something in her mind, also changed her expression. As for Yu Fei, it goes without saying that he had always been grateful to Zhou Wang, and his affection for him increased even more at this time.

But in fact, they didn't notice that there was another person present with a frown and a confused expression.

This person is Qi Kai.

When Zhou Wang said that he had found out the whereabouts of those assets, Qi Kai's first reaction was "This is impossible."

If it weren't for Zhou Wang's overly strong performance just now, Qi Kai would not have dared to question him in public. He almost couldn't help but speak out.

The reason was simple. Although Qi Kai was not a wealthy man and was introduced by a nobleman to enter the No. 9 Building Club, as a senior member who had been active there for several years, he was well aware of how strict some of the rules there were.

Especially the "trading market" which is extremely broad in scope, which can be said to be the biggest foundation for the No. 9 Building Club to survive. In Qi Kai's view, titles such as "Beauty Workshop" and "Back Door of Macau City" are just icing on the cake.

The nobleman who led him into the club once said that once the information of the trading market was leaked, it would be a devastating disaster for the No. 9 Building Club. Those dignitaries who had left various traces there would not tolerate such a thing happening.

This is also why Qi Kai was certain from the beginning that even Zhou Wang, who had a mysterious background, could not help Yu Zetao in this matter.

But now, he was slapped in the face.

Considering how detailed Zhou Wang's knowledge was, it didn't seem like a fabrication at all.

So Qi Kai was a little confused. He stared at Zhou Wang for a while, and that inexplicable sense of familiarity came to his mind again, causing Qi Kai to fall into a new round of deep thought.

He must have seen this Mr. Zhou somewhere, but he just couldn't remember where...

"It's absolutely true. There's no need for me to lie to you."

Zhou Wang smiled faintly, then shook his head, "But don't be too happy too soon, because the other party's asking price may exceed your psychological expectations."

"How many?"

Hearing what Zhou Wang said, Yu Zetao's heart sank and he asked quickly.

"One hundred million... and not a cent less."

"One hundred million?!"

When they heard the number Zhou Wang reported, Yu Zetao and others were shocked.

"It's true that our assets are worth some money, but at most they are worth 70 million. How did he quote a whopping 100 million?"

Yu Zetao said angrily, "And Lao Qi also said that he only sold it for 40 million in total. The offer of 100 million is more than double that. Isn't this too outrageous?"

"Yes, he bought it for 40 million. It's only been a few days, and he made 60 million by reselling it. Even drug dealers don't make such huge profits, right?"

Yu Fei couldn't help but speak out.

“It’s not hard to understand.”

Zhou Wang shook his head at this time, "I don't know if you have the corresponding concept, this transaction did not happen in a normal way..."

"Lao Qi just told us that it seemed to be in a high-end club?"

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Qi has already told you about the specialness of that place, so I won't go into details."

Zhou Wang glanced at Qi Kai and continued, "Normally, the transactions that took place there are irreversible. It cost me a lot to contact this buyer. In other words, this is actually a very impolite behavior to others..."

"So from the other party's perspective, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with the premium of more than twice. After all, he didn't force Mr. Qi to sell his assets in the first place. Everything was voluntary and legal."

Yu Zetao fell silent upon hearing this, with only a bitter smile on his face.

Everything Zhou Wang said made sense. Even though he had never been to the No. 9 Building Club, because of Qi Kai's previous description and the fact that he had seen a lot of scenes above the social class, he could still understand what kind of people were in and out of a place like this...

In other words, they had no choice.

"Boss Zhou, no matter what, thank you for helping us find out. I, Yu Zetao, will remember this favor..."

Yu Zetao sighed, then quickly thanked Zhou Wang.

"Uncle, don't be so quick to sigh."

Zhou Wang smiled again at this time, "Although the other party is firm in his attitude, there may be room for negotiation. I have asked some friends to mediate. I personally think that there should still be hope of negotiating to around 80 million..."

"But 80 million is a lot, twice as much as 40 million..."

Yu Duo, who was listening in, finally understood the whole story and couldn't help muttering.

Yu Zetao was about to say something when he heard this, but at this moment, an extremely abrupt exclamation came from the side.

"Ah, I remembered!"

Everyone turned their heads in surprise and looked at Qi Kai, who had stood up at some point and was staring at Zhou Wang in astonishment.

"Lao Qi, what happened to you...what did you remember?"

Yu Zetao turned his head in confusion and asked with a frown.

Qi Kai's heart was in turmoil at this moment.

He should have remembered it a long time ago...

Even though he did not see Zhou Wang's face at that time, he saw his general outline, and Zhou Wang clearly talked to him at that time. Those distorted voices in his memory finally overlapped with the voice of the man in front of him at this moment.

Zhou Wang is the "Mr. Zhou" in the clubhouse in Building No. 9!
The young man who enjoys the top black diamond treatment!
If he hadn’t been so distracted by playing in Australia Island in the past few days, he would have recognized Zhou Wang the moment they met with such obvious memories that could be connected…

After finally recognizing that Zhou Wang was the buyer, Qi Kai instantly realized another thing.

Zhou Wang did not tell the truth to Yu Zetao!
Why did he...

"... Lao Qi, Lao Qi? What happened to you?"

Yu Zetao's shout from the side brought Qi Kai back to reality.

Qi Kai was about to say something, but was met with Zhou Wang's cold eyes.

Qi Kai's body trembled.

He quickly avoided Zhou Wang's gaze, turned around and laughed dryly: "Nothing, I, I thought I had met Mr. Zhou before, maybe I remembered it wrong..."

"It's not strange to have met before. I'm originally from Yunnan Province, and we're all from the same hometown. It's hard to say whether we've met before in some occasion."

Yu Fei disagreed. His disgust towards Qi Kai had reached the point where he felt physically uncomfortable whenever he saw him.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Qi Kai didn't dare to say another word. He responded a few times and sat back down, like a primary school student who had made a mistake. Only Xu Wenxi knew vaguely why Qi Kai behaved abnormally. Her eyes became more complicated, but she didn't reveal anything.

"Boss Zhou, is there any other way? To be honest, it would be difficult for us to come up with 40 million, let alone 80 million..."

Yu Zetao didn't care about this little episode, he just smiled bitterly and continued Zhou Wang's words.

"Uncle, since I have contacted the other party, this is of course my responsibility."

Zhou Wang said seriously at this time, "Don't worry, no matter what the final result is, I will advance the money for you first..."

"How does this work?"

Yu Zetao quickly pushed it away in panic.

Although before Zhou Wang came in, he did think of asking Zhou Wang for help to redeem the assets first, but... 40 million and 80 million are completely different concepts.

If it was 40 million, even if they really couldn't pay Zhou Wang back in the end, these assets could still be used as collateral for Zhou Wang. But if it was 80 million, it would mean that they were already insolvent.

Yu Zetao was worried that if he failed after all the struggle, Zhou Wang’s money would be completely wasted.

And Zhou Wang has done enough for them.

"Uncle, there's no need to refuse. Although you and I are not related, Duoduo is a very important person to me. Naturally, I hope that you can live a good life."

Looking at Zhou Wang's serious expression, Yu Duo pursed her lips, but almost couldn't hold back from crying again.

Yu Zetao was speechless for a moment and could only sigh softly. At this time, it was Yu's mother who remembered something and couldn't help asking, "Um, Mr. Zhou, I have a question, which may be a bit presumptuous..."

"Auntie, please speak."

"I want to know, what is your relationship with the girl who was next to you just now?"

Mother Yu asked, "And I heard from Duoduo before that you and another girl in their dormitory are also entangled in something unclear..."

"mom!"

Hearing her mother's question, Yu Duo suddenly became a little anxious.

But Mother Yu ignored her and just kept looking at Zhou Wang. "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, because you said you were in love with Duoduo, as a mother, I have to ask..."

"It's ok."

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, then nodded in understanding.

The girl who was next to Zhou Wang just now that Yu's mother mentioned was naturally Bai Feifei. As for Yu Duo's roommate... Zhou Wang found it a little funny. He really didn't expect Yu Duo to even mention Su Yajing, but that was normal. From her perspective, it seemed that she could only introduce herself in this way.

"Auntie, there is one thing you may have misunderstood."

Zhou Wang thought for a moment and then spoke.

"what?"

"Duoduo and I actually confirmed our relationship three months ago. The watch on her wrist is proof of that... Then, probably because something happened in your family, Duoduo unilaterally cut off contact with me. To me, it can even be said that she disappeared."

Zhou Wang sighed, "If it weren't for today's chance encounter, I don't know when I would see Yu Duo again. In other words, during the time when Yu Duo disappeared, I didn't know if our relationship could continue, so other girls appeared around me. Some things were not my intention... I don't know if you can understand me saying this, Auntie?"

"Is that so?"

Mother Yu turned around and looked at her daughter in surprise. She never expected that it was Yu Duo who was hiding from Zhou Wang...

Zhou Wang’s meaning was very clear. He originally wanted to have a good relationship with Yu Duo, but because Yu Duo played the disappearing trick, it gave other girls the opportunity to “take advantage of the situation”.

Yu Duo also blinked in confusion, her look of innocence yet a little bewilderment.

Is...is that so?
She always felt something was wrong, but what Zhou Wang said was indeed in line with objective facts.

So, if I didn't run away, could I really become the only girlfriend of this bad guy?

Yu Duo was confused and started to feel sad again...

When Yu Duo saw that she couldn't say anything, she obviously agreed with Zhou Wang's description and became speechless for a moment. If that was the case, it seemed that there was really nothing to blame, and there were not many problems with Zhou Wang's behavior.

Zhou Wang is young, rich and handsome, so there is no need for him to lack women around him. He can't ask Yu Duo to run away and leave her a widow, right?
"Okay, why are you bringing this up?"

Yu Zetao frowned and scolded Yu's mother, then quickly apologized to Zhou Wang, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, Yunxi didn't mean it..."

"It's okay."

Zhou Wang waved his hand generously, indicating that he didn't care, and then said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, about the 100 million debt that you and President Qi jointly bear..."

After hearing what Zhou Wang said, even Qi Kai, who had been keeping his head down, quickly looked over. Several people looked a little nervous.

Although He Jiang's troubles were temporarily solved because of Zhou Wang, the debt of 100 million yuan was written in black and white and had already matured. Even if Yu Zetao thought he was not aware of it, the banks and fund companies might not necessarily buy it.

"I just negotiated with Mr. He. He will come forward to handle this debt and first arrange an extension for you. As for how to solve it later, you and Mr. Qi should discuss a plan first. I will try my best to help you."

"Boss Zhou, I really... I really don't know what to say. I, Yu Zetao, will always remember your kindness today!"

Yu Zetao took a deep breath, stood up and was about to bow to Zhou Wang. Yu Fei and Yu's mother also stood up.

"Uncle, aunt, and Brother Fei, there's really no need for us to use these tricks... Let's just say that, you are Duoduo's family, which means you are also my family, right?"

"Yes, yes, we are all family, a family..."

Yu Zetao was so excited that he was a little incoherent, and he just held Zhou Wang's hand tightly.

"Uncle, it's almost time. I'm sure you're tired. You should go back and rest first. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news... Sister Ran, please send them off and leave your contact information."

"Okay, then we won't waste your time."

Yu Zetao also understood that there were many people outside waiting to see Zhou Wang, so he nodded in agreement.

Only Yu Duo felt reluctant. After all, they had just met and were about to part again. But she couldn't just run away with Zhou Wang in front of her parents. She could only look back every few steps until Zhou Wang blinked at her and made a gesture. Only then did Yu Duo burst into tears and laughed, and left with a blushing face.

"Mr. Zhou..."

Qi Kai deliberately procrastinated until the very end, and then he spoke in a hesitant voice.

"You should go back too. Someone will contact you later."

Zhou Wang waved his hand and said something, Qi Kai quickly responded and left in a hurry.

At this point, the private room became silent. Apart from Gao Xing hiding in the dark, only Zhou Wang and Xu Wenxi were left.

Zhou Wang sat down at the table and lit a cigarette for himself. His expression became gloomy and uncertain in the smoke.

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Wang, with a deep gaze, spoke softly: "Xixi, do you think I'm a bad person?"
