Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 548 Green Tea = A Kind and Understanding Sister
"He, he's not that..."

Upon seeing Zhou Wang's face clearly, A-Jie's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He pointed at Zhou Wang and spoke incoherently.

It had only been a few days since they met at the airport, so both of them naturally had a deep impression of Zhou Wang, not to mention that A Gui had even added Zhou Wang on WeChat.

He even struggled more than once about whether to take the initiative to greet Zhou Wang... He really wanted to ask him for advice on how to get closer to girls!

Especially at this moment, Zhou Wang's aura of being the strongest king once again overwhelmed A Gui, greatly shocking his soul.

The girl who was laughing and joking at this moment, almost leaning half her body on Zhou Wang, was none other than Sun Xi Ningning!

Agui and Sun Xining work at the same company. From the first day Sun Xining joined the company, she undoubtedly became the company's rising goddess.

The receptionist she replaced had no chance to fight back and disappeared from most of the boys' attention.

The key point is that Sun Xining is not only beautiful and has a good figure, but she is also not the kind of girl who is aloof. She is very polite to others and will not show any impatience no matter who she is chatting with. She can also occasionally say some humorous things, which make her colleagues (mainly men) around her laugh.

In the eyes of honest people like A-Gui, she was simple, kind, and considerate—the perfect girlfriend template.

In the eyes of a man like Ah Jie, who has a certain level of experience and family background, she is sensible, well-behaved, and intelligent, making her the best candidate for marriage.

There are many beautiful girls in this world, but a beautiful girl who possesses all these qualities is extremely rare...

Of course, fantasies aside, A-Gui still had some self-awareness, after all, he had personally witnessed the company's vice president trying to invite Sun Xi Ningning to dinner, only to be politely rejected by her.

After A-Jie also got to know Sun Xi Ningning through him, A-Gui suddenly felt that the other person was even more distant from him.

After all, in no matter what aspect, he couldn't compare to his childhood friend, A-Jie.

But it seems that Ah Jie's progress with the other party is also quite ordinary. As far as he knows, the two have not even gone on a date alone, which makes Ah Gui feel a little secretly pleased.

It seems that it's not that I'm too bad, but rather that Sun Xi Ningning's standards are indeed very high.

Or perhaps the other person is a very pure and self-respecting girl, so how could she be easily approached?

Until tonight...

Ah Gui and Ah Jie were just a little slow to react, not really stupid. After Ah Jie's cousin Wang Jia laid the groundwork in advance and took the three of them to meet Huo Chengrui and others, even Ah Gui began to understand the situation.

Wang Jia actually wanted to introduce Sun Xi Ningning to Huo Chengrui!

Ah Gui was very indignant, but there was nothing he could do. After all, Ah Jie hadn't said anything, and Huo Chengrui was clearly no ordinary person.

Although he's a bit older, his demeanor is not much different from that of a wealthy family in movies and TV dramas.

Indeed, after Ah Jie figured out Huo Chengrui's identity, he warned Ah Gui more than once not to talk nonsense, and it was the first time Ah Gui had ever seen Ah Jie so reserved in front of others.

Clearly, this "Young Master Huo" is someone that neither he nor his cousin can afford to offend.

Ah Gui might not understand, but he knew that the Richard Mille watch on Huo Chengrui's wrist was worth at least seven figures, a fortune he might not be able to earn even if he worked his whole life.

At that moment, Ah Gui had a bad feeling. The goddess he had always regarded as his spiritual anchor might just fall for him here...

But Ah Gui never expected that Sun Xi Ningning would not even give face to these Hong Kong playboys, and would run away after spilling a glass of wine.

Agui was very resistant to Ajie's insistence on dragging him out to find Sun Xining and bring her back.

The girl clearly doesn't want to associate with those people anymore, are you going to force her?

But he couldn't dissuade Ah Jie, so he reluctantly followed, never expecting to witness this scene...

Sun Xining, who has a kind personality but always keeps her distance from any man, is actually half-leaning in another man's arms, and her eyes are practically drooling!

Yes, A-Gui was reluctant to use such an adjective, but he could clearly sense the intense connection between the man and woman's eyes.

What shocked him even more was that it was that big shot from the airport again!

That day, he not only slept with four people, but he also didn't spare the goddess he had been secretly in love with for two months!

A bittersweet feeling, tinged with jealousy, yet also filled with profound awe…

This is what A-Gui is thinking at this moment.

"Ah Gui...right?"

While Ah Gui was still somewhat dazed, the big boss took the initiative to greet him.

This made Ah Gui feel somewhat flattered, as he actually remembered his name.

"Yes, yes, boss, you still remember me?"

"Zhou Wang, do you know him?"

At this moment, Sun Xining asked in surprise.

After exchanging a few words with Sun Xi Ningning, Zhou Wang finally realized that he was the friend who brought Sun Xi Ningning here. No wonder the two of them were looking at him so strangely.

"What a coincidence! It seems we're destined to meet!"

After Sun Xi Ningning explained, Zhou Wang smiled and nodded to A Gui.

"What a coincidence..."

Ah Jie, standing to the side, swallowed back his curse words. He had just been humiliated by Zhou Wang the day before, and Zhou Wang's demeanor was indeed unlike that of an ordinary person. Ah Jie was still somewhat inexplicably wary of him.

This is why, even though he was furious to the point of exploding when he saw the two of them being all lovey-dovey, he still managed to restrain himself from losing his temper.

He simply ignored Zhou Wang and instead focused his attention on Sun Xi Ningning.

"Ningning, you spilled wine on those people. I can't afford to offend any of them. It's not appropriate for you to just leave like this. Come back with me and apologize."

Ah-Jie had tried to persuade him in a gentle tone, but because he was still angry about what he had just seen, his words still sounded extremely harsh.

Sun Xining felt disgusted, but she didn't show it much on her face. She just said with a hint of confusion, "Ah, but I already apologized. Do I have to do it again?"

"I don't mean you have to do it all over again, but... but we've only just met, it wouldn't be right for you to just leave like this, would it?"

Not knowing how to explain it to his cousin, A-Jie forced himself to continue persuading him.

“But because we just met, I don’t think it’s a big deal to just leave like this,” Sun Xi Ningning said with a smile, then glanced at Zhou Wang, “Young Master Jie, thank you for bringing me here today. I never expected to run into an old classmate… really, thank you.”

Faced with the girl's sincere thanks, Ah Jie was completely taken aback.

If I continue to act out, I'll seem rude; but if I do nothing, I'll feel like a sucker...

After holding it in for so long, A-Jie finally said nothing. He waved his hand and turned away with a grim expression. A-Gui, who was standing to the side, wanted to say a few more words to Zhou Wang, but he was mindful of his childhood friend's feelings. He could only smile awkwardly at Zhou Wang and agree to talk later before hurrying after A-Jie.

"Zhou Wang, do you think I should go back?"

At this moment, with a hint of probing and not entirely at ease, Sun Xining bit her lip and said.

"Who are the people at that table?"

Although Zhou Wang didn't know what had happened before, he had a general idea. It seemed that Sun Xining had a little unpleasantness with the guests at their table before leaving. He thought for a moment and then asked.

"That table is full of Zhang Jie's cousin's friends. From what I heard, they're all rich second-generation kids from Hong Kong. One of them is named Huo Chengrui, and he seems to come from a very wealthy family. The other two men are surnamed Li and Huang, respectively..."

Sun Xi Ningning succinctly told Zhou Wang the information she had gathered, while secretly observing Zhou Wang's expression.

She figured that someone of Zhou Wang's stature couldn't possibly be completely unaware of these people, and if Zhou Wang showed any sign of difficulty, she would find a way to resolve the matter herself.

This is why guys like "green tea" girls.

They may have their flaws, but if they truly care about a guy, they will always show the utmost consideration, preferring to suffer a little loss themselves rather than put him in a difficult situation...

That's why there's that widely circulated saying: "There's no such thing as a green tea bitch, she's clearly my kind and understanding little sister!"

Sun Xi Ningning never bothered Zhou Wang. In fact, the two lost contact later because Zhou Wang didn't respond to her much, so she "sensibly" disappeared on her own.

"Huo Chengrui?"

Upon hearing the name, Zhou Wang was momentarily stunned.

Why does it sound so familiar?

After he thought about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that this was the rich young man from Hong Kong who had dealt with him in Baicheng.
The two had a brief encounter because they both wanted to buy Yang Liping's Sun Palace and Moon Palace. The meeting was not pleasant, and Zhou Wang gradually forgot about her because they had no further contact afterward.

Huo Chengrui may not be much, but the Huo family behind him is not to be underestimated; they are one of the few top families in Hong Kong.

Furthermore, if the surnames "Li" and "Huang" are friends who can interact with Huo Chengrui on an equal footing, they are very likely to be from one of those specific families.

Considering that tonight is a yacht party hosted by Tianque Group, and that Tianque Club's business scope extends to Hong Kong and Macau, it is only natural that they would be here.

After a brief moment of thought, Zhou Wang saw that Sun Xining seemed to be waiting for his answer, so he smiled and said, "If you find it more interesting to stay with me, there's really no need to go back. I can take you back after we're done."

"Don't worry, I'm also qualified to bring my friends on the yacht."

Zhou Wang added another sentence.

Sun Xi Ningning also came to the conclusion from her observations that Zhou Wang knew Huo Chengrui's identity, but didn't seem to take it too seriously...

She didn't know Zhou Wang well enough to know where his confidence came from, but since Zhou Wang had said so, Sun Xining naturally wouldn't question him.

Because she just smiled sweetly, "Okay, okay... but I have to correct one thing, being with you isn't much more fun."

"Oh? What is that?"

"It's very interesting...non-gut."

As if afraid that Zhou Wang might not understand her interpretation, Sun Xi Ningning emphasized two words after she finished speaking, and glanced at Zhou Wang with eyes as gentle as spring water.

Zhou Wang, being an experienced driver, immediately understood. Although it was not a sophisticated flirtation, it still made Zhou Wang's heart flutter slightly.

"Then let's not stand here, let's find a place to sit down."

Of course, Zhou Wang didn't have many thoughts at the time. It was just that meeting an old friend in a foreign land was always a pleasant thing, and he didn't mind spending more time with Sun Xining.

But when they reached the lobby, Sun Xi Ningning stopped at the right moment. "Zhou Wang, why don't we sit outside for a while? I heard that the seats inside are all reserved in advance. It might be inconvenient for you to take me in, right?"

Objectively speaking, there is nothing inconvenient about it. Even though the locations in the living room are all pre-assigned, given how much Mu Li values ​​Zhou Wang, how could he not have a place?
However, Zhou Wang understood the subtext that Sun Xi Ningning really wanted to convey: because Huo Chengrui and the others were inside, she didn't want any unnecessary conflicts to arise after Zhou Wang took her in.

She is still so considerate.

Zhou Wang was certainly not afraid of trouble, but there was no need to deliberately cause trouble, so he nodded.

The two found an empty spot on the deck and started chatting idly.

Whether it was Sun Xining's deliberate guidance or Zhou Wang's unintentional probing, in any case, in just a short moment, Sun Xining had used various hints and indirect answers to make Zhou Wang understand a fact—

That is, since the last time the two met, Sun Xining has been in a "single period" and has not had any contact with other men.

Although it might just be Sun Xining's rhetoric, her sincere demeanor did indeed make Zhou Wang feel a little uneasy.

He himself could not say that he had any deep feelings for Sun Xi Ningning, but a woman who remained chaste after being with you would always give you a strange sense of accomplishment.

Sun Xi Ningning only touched on the subject briefly; most of the time, she was the one exploring Zhou Wang's life.

Zhou Wang found that chatting with Sun Xi Ningning was truly effortless, since she already knew that Zhou Wang had a girlfriend, and because she herself was very open-minded, Zhou Wang could also be completely uninhibited.

Occasionally, there were recollections of high school days interspersed throughout the conversation. Overall, the chat was quite pleasant, a slightly tipsy atmosphere that Zhou Wang preferred.

However, as expected, an unexpected event soon occurred. With the sound of a sarcastic voice, the pleasant atmosphere was instantly shattered.

"Miss Ningning, this isn't quite right of you. You clearly boarded the ship with my cousin, but now you're completely ignoring him and drinking and having fun with other men... You seem to be enjoying yourself quite a bit!"

An unfriendly voice came from behind. Zhou Wang turned around in surprise and saw two men and a woman who had just happened to be passing by, frowning and staring at them.

The man who spoke also looked rather unwell. Judging from the way he was addressed, he should be the cousin of the young man named Zhang Jie.

"One is A-Jie's cousin, named Wang Jia. The other one with a female companion is surnamed Li. I don't know his name, but I heard the people around him call him Young Master Li..."

Sun Xi Ningning also whispered something to Zhou Wang in time.
