Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 444 "Princess"

"Ah, Boss, what are you talking about..."

Xu Wenxi was standing behind Zhou Wang, but she was obviously thinking about something, and was caught off guard when she heard Zhou Wang's sudden voice.

"You know what I'm talking about."

Zhou Wang looked calm, "You know that Qi Kai sold the Yu family's assets to me. You asked Sister Mei to handle the industrial and commercial changes the day before yesterday, so no one knows better than you... That manor villa, two factories, and a large amount of Panax notoginseng medicine are in my hands."

"I……"

Xu Wenxi bit her lip, not knowing what to say for a moment.

This silence lasted for a long time. Just when Zhou Wang thought Xu Wenxi would ask her questions, Xu Wenxi suddenly lay down from his shoulder and gently hugged Zhou Wang from behind.

"I've actually been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure out why you did this, boss. Maybe I'm too stupid, but..."

"but what?"

Zhou Wang was startled when he felt the warmth coming from behind.

"But I don't know why, I just feel a little distressed... I don't feel sorry for Duoduo, I feel sorry for you, the boss."

Xu Wenxi murmured.

Zhou Wang's expression changed subtly. He took a deep breath and smiled, "Oh? Why do you feel sorry for me?"

"I can't say, maybe... If it were you in the past, you would have told Yu Duo directly, or decorated it carefully as a surprise and then given it to Yu Duo."

Seeing that Zhou Wang did not resist, Xu Wenqian hugged him with greater ease, enjoying this moment of intimacy, and whispered:

"But you didn't do it now, but I know that you, boss, have no bad intentions towards Yu Duo, so you must have more far-reaching plans. This shows that you have become more mature than before, which is a good thing, but..."

"Just what?"

"It just means that every time you take a step, you have to think about more things. Isn't that tiring?"

Xu Wenxi murmured, "So I feel a little sad. How can people be happy if they think too much?"

Zhou Wang fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Zhou Wang smiled gently, took Xu Wenxi's smooth hand, let her sit in his arms, and then hugged her tightly.

"Xixi, you have changed too. I remember that you were not so thoughtful before..."

As long as you truly love someone, what can't you expect?
Xu Wenxi silently added a sentence in her heart, but she didn't say anything. She just tilted her head slightly to avoid the earrings she was wearing today from scratching Zhou Wang.

"If it's just Yu Duo, I don't care. There's no need to be calculating towards your woman."

Zhou Wang then gently spoke out his hidden thoughts, "But you have to understand that the assets have never been registered under Yu Duo's name... I don't know Yu Zetao, and I have only met Yu Fei once, not to mention Yu's mother."

"Maybe they are good people. Maybe even if I return the assets to them directly, they will be grateful for the rest of their lives. But I don't want to test human nature. You still have a chance to win if you gamble with money, but a wise man won't gamble with people's hearts."

"That's not just the 70 million worth of assets, there's also the 100 million worth of debt."

"A little bit of kindness, a little bit of hatred..."

"Of course I can also give these assets directly to Yu Duo, but Yu Duo obviously does not have the independent consciousness and ability to manage these assets, so there is no essential difference."

Xu Wenxi knew that Zhou Wang was not explaining to her, but more like talking to himself, so she still didn't say anything, but just gently stroked Zhou Wang's back and listened quietly.

"Although, I don't want Yu Duo to continue to suffer, so I still have to help her, but I have to help her in my own way..."

"Xixi, go back and transfer the manor villa to Yu Duo's name. As for other assets, ask Lawyer Gao to draft a blank agreement. When the time is right, I will give it to Duo Duo as a 'gift'."

"As for the 100 million yuan debt, Mr. He just hinted that he could pay it off directly for the Yu family."

"But I can't owe you such a big favor so carelessly, so I refused... When I get back, you can go to China Merchants Bank to borrow some money to make up for the debt, but don't tell anyone, just let the Yu family owe me."

Hearing this, Xu Wenxi responded, "Boss, I understand. You have really considered everything. Yu Duo... is so happy."

As she spoke, Xu Wenxi was already choking up a bit, but Zhou Wang didn't notice anything unusual about her as he was still thinking about one last thing.

Does Zhou Wang really have no selfish desires at all?
of course not.

He has never been a saint, nor does he consider things only from other people's perspectives.

There was actually another reason that prompted Zhou Wang to do this, which he would not tell anyone.

Just now, after Zhou Wang finished talking with the Yu family, in his field of vision, the mysterious aura on Qi Kai that he had seen in the Clubhouse of Building No. 9 was quietly transferred to Yu Duo.

At that moment, Zhou Wang finally understood the meaning of the mysterious halo.

……

[Activated Bond]

[Princess Margaret - The character has a strong dependence on the host, and will not have an emotional exclusive mentality. This bond will continue to deepen over time until it solidifies.]

……

That day, Zhou Wang helped Qi Kai and planted an unknown flower. Today, this flower bloomed the fruit that Zhou Wang wanted.

"Princess Margaret" is not a person's name, but a rose variety bred by the British in 1990.

This flower is apricot yellow in color, has a fruity scent, and its petals are full and round. It is known as the "goddess" among the rose family.

But it is essentially a climbing rose, which is a type of "Rosa" plant that we commonly see.

So it has another feature.

That is, it grows in a climbing manner, because its branches are too soft and need strong support to survive.

From today on, Zhou Wang will be Yu Duo's support.

This method may have some dark implications, but since Yu Duo's parents are both normal people, Zhou Wang actually doesn't have many options for staying with Yu Duo for a long time.

When Yu Duo's family was in its heyday, the possibility was extremely low...unless Zhou Wang didn't care about Yu Duo's feelings at all, putting her in a dilemma.

A successful leader always has to make certain moral sacrifices.

Zhou Wang has this awareness, so he will not regret what he did today.

"There is no perfect solution in the world..."

Zhou Wang said a final self-deprecating remark before letting go of Xu Wenxi and walked out first.

There were still a lot of people waiting in the hall, and he needed to deal with them one last time.

Xu Wenxi fell behind. Before catching up, she took out her cell phone and took a look. There was a message from Yu Duo on it.

"Sister Xixi, I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that you actually work for that big bad guy!"

"Laughing or crying.jpg"

"It's over, it's over. I've complained to you about so many things about him, but you mustn't tell on me!"

In her words, Yu Duo was still as energetic as before, and seemed no different from before.

But Xu Wenxi was still keenly aware that Yu Duo was actually trying hard to pretend that nothing had happened and wanted to get along with her like before...

But, can it still be the same?

Xu Wenxi stood there in a daze for a long time, then picked up her phone to reply to Yu Duo, but she deleted all the lines she typed.

In the end, Xu Wenxi quietly put away her phone and followed.

……

In the hall of Weijing Pavilion.

Although He Jinglun and his son, Yu Zetao, Qi Kai and others have left, there are still many people left here.

The most conspicuous people, of course, were Jian Zhuoran and others who were standing at the edge of the corridor leading to the hall, constantly craning their necks to look inside.

They were undoubtedly feeling anxious at this moment.

They all knew that Zhou Wang was awesome, otherwise they would not have asked Jian Zhuoran to visit him as a representative as soon as Zhou Wang arrived in the Magic City, and they also went to great lengths to set up such a banquet, just to establish a good relationship with Zhou Wang.

But from their perspective, they all thought that Zhou Wang was welcomed by the Beidu circle only because of the legendary Jingwang Club, and not because of how powerful Zhou Wang himself was.

There is an essential difference here.

After all, if it is only the Jingwang Club that developed the "Little Blue Bottle", then Zhou Wang is more like a young man who got lucky, or even a spokesperson pushed out by the capital circle, and does not have any real say.

This is common in many examples of capital operations.

But who the hell could have thought that Zhou Wang could be so awesome?

When He Jinglun arrived in a hurry, they realized how outrageous their cognitive bias was.

But these are not important anymore... The most urgent task is how to repair the relationship with Zhou Wang.

After all, just now, when facing He Jiang's pressure, they all quietly retreated a lot, and no one dared to continue standing with Zhou Wang, except...

Bai Feifei could hardly suppress the smile on her face at this moment.

Further behind, Xu Qing from Ginkgo Capital was also sitting there obediently like a primary school student, waiting for Zhou Wang to come out.

She was still holding the phone, with shock remaining on her face.

This shock did not come from the past, but from the memory refresh she just had...

After making a phone call to her assistant and asking her to help review her old memos, Xu Qing finally remembered why she had paid attention to Zhou Wang in the first place. After making a few more phone calls, she had basically confirmed her guess.

This made her even more nervous, and accompanied by an indescribable excitement.

She vaguely felt that today's meeting was very important to her, and if she didn't seize this opportunity, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

The only thing that made Xu Qing a little strange was...

"Dean Wang, you haven't left yet?"

As the executive director of the Waldorf Hotel, Mr. Elva had offended Zhou Wang, so Xu Qing could understand that he would wait here to apologize. However, Xu Qing was a little confused when she saw Dean Wang Chunsheng, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly show up and wait here.

"Uh, I have something else to do..."

Wang Chunsheng didn't know what to say and looked embarrassed, not to mention the regret in his heart.

In fact, he has always disliked He Shao's style, so just now, when he realized that things were getting out of control, he sneaked away under the pretext of going to the toilet. After receiving a call and knowing what happened, Wang Chunsheng was really confused.

Who would have thought that the person who would confront He Jiang in the end would be Zhou Wang...

What shocked Wang Chunsheng even more was that He Jinglun was actually a head shorter than Zhou Wang.

It was impossible to hide it. Zhou Wang would definitely know that he had appeared at the banquet, so Wang Chunsheng turned back and wanted to make up for it.

Although Zhou Wang is not the largest shareholder of Jiahui International, Wang Chunsheng, who is backed by a Hong Kong-funded consortium, does not think that he will lose his position as dean, but there is no need to offend Zhou Wang in this way.

When Xu Qing wanted to ask more questions, there was suddenly some commotion in the corridor, accompanied by a continuous stream of "Mr. Zhou", Jian Zhuoran and others all went over there.

She immediately knew that it was Zhou Wang who came out of the private room. She didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Chunsheng anymore. She quickly looked in the mirror one last time and then stood up.

What made Xu Qing confused again was that Wang Chunsheng, who was in his fifties or sixties, was so quick and aggressive in his movements that he went forward more actively than herself.

"Didn't this old guy say that his legs and feet were not good?"

Xu Qing complained in her heart and quickly followed.

When the two of them went over, Zhou Wang had already been surrounded by Jian Zhuoran and others.

"Mr. Jian, and everyone else."

Zhou Wang waved his hand, and before Jian Zhuoran and the others could say anything, he spoke first, "Something unpleasant happened today, and it was caused by me, so let me treat you to a meal, and I will also pay for the damaged furniture and antiques in the hotel..."

Before Jian Zhuoran and others could say “That won’t work”, someone answered faster than them.

"That won't work!"

Elva spoke Mandarin, which was not very standard and mixed with a strong onion smell, but was still clear. He jumped directly in front of Zhou Wang and wanted to shake hands with him enthusiastically.

"Mr. Zhou, don't worry. You don't have to pay a penny today. In addition, please accept this Hilton Honors Diamond Card. With it, you can enjoy the highest courtesy in all Hilton Group hotels around the world. I have donated $100,000 to Mr. Zhou in my personal name..."

Zhou Wang looked at Elva's slightly flattering smile and couldn't help but glance at him with a half-smile.

Other people around were also a little surprised. Elva was not Chinese. Logically speaking, he was the one who least needed to curry favor with Zhou Wang. But obviously, Elva must have experienced some unknown mental journey.

Only Zhou Wang vaguely guessed something, but he didn't say much. He just nodded, took the diamond card, and threw it to Xu Wenxi behind him.

Elva suddenly felt relieved, and only then realized that his back was covered in cold sweat. From the call from Hilton Group headquarters just now, he knew very well that if Zhou Wang did not forgive him, then his career would also come to an end at this moment.

Zhou Wang was not very magnanimous, but he was just too lazy to bother with such a small-time person at this moment.

"Mr. Zhou, today's meal was indeed not pleasant. It's our fault for not choosing a good place. How about we pick another day..."

Jian Zhuoran couldn't help but speak again.

"Let's talk about it later. It depends on my future schedule."

Zhou Wang said calmly, "It's getting late, Mr. Jian, you should all go back and rest early."

Hearing Zhou Wang's implicit refusal, Jian Zhuoran and the others were greatly disappointed, but there was nothing they could do... The only thing that could comfort them was probably that at least Zhou Wang did not turn hostile on the spot, and there was still a little room for maneuver.

At this time, Shi Tian's eyes rolled around, and she quickly said, "Then we won't bother Mr. Zhou, but... Mr. Zhou, how about letting Feifei stay and chat with you?"

Zhou Wang glanced at Bai Feifei, who made no secret of her expectations, and said nothing.

Seeing that Zhou Wang seemed to agree, Shi Tian was overjoyed and immediately pulled Bai Feifei aside and whispered a few words to her.

Jian Zhuoran, Zhao Zeyi and others were extremely envious, especially Jian Zhuoran, who subconsciously glanced at his son, Young Master Jian, with a look of resentment in his eyes. Why wasn't the son of his own a beautiful daughter like a flower?
Young Master Jian, who was caught in the crossfire, seemed to feel his father's thoughts and could only blink his eyes innocently.

After Jian Zhuoran and his group left helplessly, only Bai Feifei, wrapped in a coat, was left. She came to Zhou Wang and held his hand. In fact, there were only two people left at the scene.

"Mr. Zhou..."

Wang Chunsheng greeted Zhou Wang with an embarrassed look on his face.

But what made him feel cold was that Zhou Wang didn't look at him, but his eyes fell directly on Xu Qing.

"Mr. Xu hasn't left yet?"

"I just want to see Mr. Zhou again, although it doesn't seem to be anything important..."

Xu Qing was flattered and smiled quickly, then she remembered something, "By the way, I just talked to Mr. Wang on the phone, and he asked me to send his regards to you."

"Wang Ruxi?"

Zhou Wang looked at Xu Qing in surprise, then nodded, "It's true that I haven't seen him for a long time. No, that's not right. It should be that I have always forgotten to reply to his messages..."

After hearing Zhou Wang implicitly admit his relationship with Wang Ruxi, Xu Qing, who finally had no more doubts, felt overwhelmed.

She knew that she had waited for the right time.

There are multiple shareholders behind Ginkgo Capital, and Xu Qing is just a spokesperson.

The largest shareholder among them is Yunshang Trust Hua Xia Foundation.

In fact, Xu Qing had no right to talk to Wang Ruxi on the phone. The person she actually called was an assistant under Wang Ruxi who held the title of director at Ginkgo Capital...

He deliberately said that he had a phone call with Wang Ruxi just to flatter himself.

About two months ago, Xu Qing accidentally saw the circle of friends posted by that director, which contained official promotional photos of Zhou Wang performing his duties at Hangzhou Wuyou Media, and the director attached some congratulatory words.

At that time, Xu Qing was just a little curious. After all, that director represented Wang Ruxi, and he seldom posted such messages on his Moments. It was for this reason that she began to pay some attention to Zhou Wang.

And judging from the phone call she just made to the director and the tone of the other party, it was obvious that the director was not familiar with Zhou Wang, but his words were full of awe, and that awe was definitely not less than when he mentioned Wang Ruxi, and might even be more so.

This made Xu Qing think a lot, and after finding some information to support it, an incredible idea came to her mind.

That is, the origin of this young man in front of them is far more mysterious and powerful than what they saw tonight.

Now, hearing Zhou Wang's casual tone when he mentioned Wang Ruxi, extreme excitement suddenly passed through Xu Qing's body like an electric current...

She could hardly stand.
