Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 576 Blocking the Road
It is indeed very late now.

After all that fuss, it was almost three o'clock.

But precisely because it was so late, Zhou looked around and thought, "A little later... it doesn't seem like it would make any difference?"
The main reason is that Jiang Mubai really tried hard to please him tonight. He was about to reward her, but Qu Peining suddenly appeared and took over.

Thinking about how tough things had been for Jiang Mubai, Zhou Wang softened.

But he never expected that Jiang Mubai would dare to play such a trick.

After a passionate encounter, since Qu Peining was still sleeping in the bedroom, Zhou Wang originally wanted to carry Jiang Mubai, whose body had turned to jelly, out of the room. However, Jiang Mubai stretched out her fair little feet and hooked them around his waist.

"No, BB, it's...it's right here."

Right here?

Zhou Wang wanted to rebuke her shameless behavior, but he had to admit that he was not very interested at first, but now he was really getting hooked.

As a result, before Jiang Mubai could even ask Zhou Wang to take any measures, he was already lying on his back with his feet in the air and his eyes glazed over.

Jiang Mubai was also quite shrewd; at certain times, she insisted on lying next to Qu Peining. If Zhou Wang hadn't covered her mouth in time, her loud, wave-like cries would probably have woken Qu Peining up.

Then when she sensed that Zhou Wang was having a great time, she would hook her arms around his neck and pull him down, and then keep kissing him.

When Zhou Wang was caught off guard, she turned her head away and then turned Qu Peining's face back to Zhou Wang, signaling him to continue.

Is it moral?
That's extremely unethical.

Exciting?
That would be so exciting!

……

Thirty minutes later, feeling a wave of exhaustion, Zhou Wang put on his coat and lit another cigarette.

He felt his lower back starting to ache again, and he might have to go back for a "Dragon Soaring Across the Seas" treatment to soothe it.

It seems that Zhou Wang's recent romantic luck has been too strong, and none of it was in his plans, which makes him quite helpless.

After finishing a cigarette, Jiang Mubai, who was next to him, had rested enough. She quietly tidied up the surroundings and then sensibly snuggled closer. Her reluctant little expression, with a hint of resentment, made Zhou Wang shake his head.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Ah, I don't want anything!"

Jiang Mubai immediately shook his head, not forgetting to show a satisfied expression, "What I wanted... President Zhou already gave it to me!"

But Zhou Wang was no longer the boy he once was, and naturally he wouldn't believe her nonsense. He simply said with a half-smile:
"Are you sure? Take advantage of my good mood now, or you might miss this opportunity and never have another chance."

Jiang Mubai immediately lowered his head shyly, "I do have a small wish..."

As he spoke, Jiang Mubai made a small gesture, as if to show that he was not greedy.

"Go ahead."

"Well... recently, I don't know if you know, Mr. Zhou, but Wuyou Media has reached a business cooperation with several big brands. In addition to live streaming sales, it also involves the shooting of some short video advertisements. I think the image concepts of some of these brands are quite compatible with mine."

Jiang Mubai subtly expressed his thoughts.

Zhou Wang was slightly taken aback, then realized what she wanted.

Zhou Wang was unaware of what Jiang Mubai was talking about; he hadn't paid attention to the major or minor matters of Wuyou Media for a long time.

Wu Yanqiu, who is Zhou Wang's spokesperson, serves as the vice president of Wuyou Media and has gradually established herself. As Zhou Wang's status in Zhang Shihao's heart continues to rise, Wu Yanqiu is basically second only to him in the company, and there is really nothing for Zhou Wang to worry about.

He only needed to occasionally open the "resume" to check if Wu Yanqiu's loyalty was showing any signs of decline, and that would be it.

This top-performing young woman from a rural background has never disappointed Zhou Wang. Her loyalty may drop by a point or two occasionally, but Zhou Wang only needs to make a phone call to reconnect with her and it will immediately return.

At Wuyou Media, everyone knows that Wu Nara is Zhou Wang's person. Jiang Mubai, who has already signed a live streaming agreement with Wuyou Media, naturally couldn't have been unaware of her.

And those that Jiang Mubai describes as "big brands" are at least luxury brands like Dior and Chanel.

Although it's just an advertisement on a short video platform, and it's not the same as being a "brand ambassador" or "brand spokesperson," for people in the influencer circle, even just being associated with these luxury brands in the slightest is like a meteoric rise in status, instantly elevating their image to another level, let alone when it's a legitimate advertisement shoot.

So Jiang Mubai's request is very simple... she wants to become the leading lady of one of the brands.

This was naturally a piece of cake for Zhou Wang, and he readily nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to President Wu later... If she can't make the decision, I'll negotiate directly with the brand."

Jiang Mubai never expected that Zhou Wang would be willing to speak directly with the brands for her sake. She did not doubt the truthfulness of Zhou Wang's words, after all, Zhou Wang had already demonstrated his status in the hearts of these luxury brands when they were in Beidu.

Overwhelmed with joy, Jiang Mubai suddenly felt no longer wronged.

The only pity is that Zhou Wang clearly has no intention of staying overnight here... She's not really satisfied with just one time.

"Then she's in your care."

By this time, Zhou Wang had already put on his coat. He gave Jiang Mubai one last piece of advice, but before leaving, he seemed to remember something and whispered something to him.

"Okay, I'll figure out how to prepare it for her."

Jiang Mubai chuckled softly.

It turned out that during the kiss, Zhou Wang had used too much force and tore Qu Peining's inner garment. Zhou Wang remembered this detail, which is why he asked Jiang Mubai to prepare some clothes for Qu Peining.

……

When Zhou Wang left BSK and returned to the Raffles Hotel, it was already dawn, almost five in the morning.

The suite was quiet, and the four girls were obviously fast asleep. Zhou Wang first went to the public bathroom to wash up. After confirming that there was no odor left on his body, he returned to the master bedroom, gently climbed into bed, and hugged Su Yajing, who was sleeping on her side, from behind.

Just as Zhou Wang's arm slipped through, Su Yaqing suddenly turned over and squeezed herself into Zhou Wang's arms, wrapping herself around him like an octopus.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Wang felt a sharp pain in his chest. He looked down and heard Su Yajing, who still had her eyes closed, mutter:
"Out fooling around again... I'll bite you, you big bad guy!"

Before Zhou Wang could say anything, Su Yaqing had already buried her head in his chest and soon began to snore softly.

For a moment, Zhou Wang was unsure whether Su Yaqing was dreaming or awake. After a slight pause, he hugged Su Yaqing tightly, a fleeting emotion passing through his heart.

If I were just an ordinary person, Su Yaqing would be the perfect girlfriend...

Unfortunately, if he were just an ordinary person, it would seem impossible for him to have any kind of story with a girl like Su Yajing.

So it's just a paradox.

……

Nothing happened that night. The next day, around noon, when Zhou Wang opened his eyes, the four girls had already changed their clothes and put on full makeup, chattering excitedly in the living room. Their faces couldn't hide their excitement, because the next destination held a natural allure for most girls.

Hong Kong Island.

Even for Choi Min-ah from South Korea, it was a city she longed to visit.

In the 1980s and 90s, Hong Kong films almost dominated the cultural sphere of South Korea, and stars such as Jackie Chan and Brigitte Lin had a huge influence in South Korea at that time.

A quick glance around revealed a delightful sight; after all, the four girls were all beautiful to begin with, and after being carefully dressed up, they formed an exceptionally stunning scene when standing together.

It's a pity Zhou Wang doesn't like shopping, otherwise, going out with them every day would definitely give him a great sense of accomplishment in showing off.

Besides Charles, the suite's butler, there was another burly man in a suit in the living room. He was Lai Yuanbao, Mu Li's guide and capable assistant, whom Zhou Wang had met several times.

Of course, this man, who had a sinister look about him, was still quite adorable in front of Zhou Wang, and always referred to himself as "Little Lai".

"Mr. Zhou, everything is arranged. The car is downstairs. What do you think..."

Upon seeing Zhou Wang appear, Lai Yuanbao quickly came over to report.

His posture was far more respectful than before.

Zhou Wang was originally just a distinguished guest of Mu Li, but now he has become a major shareholder of the group, even surpassing Mu Li in status. Lai Yuanbao naturally needs to recognize his own position.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhou Wang had nothing to pack, so he put on his sunglasses and called everyone to set off.

At this moment, the butler Charles brought the bill for Zhou Wang to sign. Several girls also curiously came over to take a look. They all knew that this room was very expensive, and they were naturally very curious about how much it cost for five people to stay for almost a week.

When Su Yaqing saw the total at the bottom of the long bill, even she couldn't help but click her tongue, let alone the other three.

Choi Min-ah, in particular, felt an urge to take a picture, but she was a little embarrassed to do so in front of so many people...

172 million!
Yes, this is the final total cost after six days of stay.

The room rate alone was 18 yuan per night, not to mention the seafood meal they had that cost 30 yuan, plus all the drinks, spa treatments, and other expenses during that time...

Therefore, it is entirely understandable that the final consumption exceeded 170 million. However, this figure, when presented on paper, exudes a sense of extravagance.

Zhou Wang glanced at it casually, and after confirming that there were no problems, he indicated that the card could be swiped.

But at this moment, Lai Yuanbao spoke up with a smile and said, "President Zhou, I asked you to look at the bill just to confirm that I have already made the purchase."

Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow. "Isn't President Mu spending too much?"

"Mr. Zhou, this is done under the group's name. After all, you are now a shareholder, so it can be considered a normal entertainment expense."

Lai Yuanbao immediately said tactfully.

Zhou Wang immediately understood and couldn't help but laugh. In other words, this wasn't Mu Li inviting him, but rather several shareholders doing it together.
Since that was the case, Zhou Wang couldn't refuse any longer, so he patted Lai Yuanbao on the shoulder, indicating that they could set off.

Choi Min-ah, standing to the side, was incredibly envious. Good heavens, someone was treating him to nearly two million, or several hundred million Korean won. Is this Zhou Wang's true status?
Breathing rapidly, she could only quickly turn her head away; for some reason, her legs felt weak again…

These signs have been occurring frequently lately, which is causing her a lot of distress.

But it just so happened that she was at the very end, so she could sneakily take a picture.

……

When Zhou Wang got downstairs, he saw that Xiao Lai had prepared a total of four cars.

Leading the way was a black Bentley Mulsanne, a 20 model. The price of several million wasn't the main issue, but what truly caught Zhou Wang's eye was the "three license plates" on that car.

Yes, there were three license plates.

The most common type of vehicle that can travel between two places simultaneously is one with "dual license plates," which is difficult for ordinary people to apply for, but not difficult for people with a little social influence to obtain.

However, such "three license plates" are extremely rare.

The yellow license plates are for Hong Kong Island, the black three-section license plates are for Macau Island, and the black plate with white lettering is for local vehicles.

When these three types of license plates are combined into one, it means that the vehicle can travel freely in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macau.

In particular, the yellow card starting with "FU" meant "right of way" if Zhou Wang remembered correctly.

To obtain all three types of license plates simultaneously, there are strict restrictions on tax payment, legal status, investment amount, etc. Therefore, there is a saying online that "owners of three license plates are all big shots."

These three license plates are more valuable than owning a Rolls-Royce.

Besides the Bentley leading the way, the other three vehicles were a Mercedes-Benz and two minivans.

The Bentley was given to Zhou Wang, the Mercedes to the four girls, and the two minivans were used to transport Xiao Lai's people and Zhou Wang's bodyguards, respectively. The allocation was quite reasonable.

After saying goodbye to the hotel manager and others, Zhou Wang got into the back seat of the Bentley, Gao Xing silently went to the passenger seat, and Xiao Lai, who was acting as the guide, also got into the back seat with Zhou Wang.

"Mr. Zhou, your accommodation on Hong Kong Island has been arranged. Also, Mr. Mu asked me to tell you that the house on Repulse Bay Road that the Huo family is selling has been prepared. If you'd like, you can move in there..."

As the vehicle slowly started moving, Xiao Lai began his report.

Zhou Wang was listening casually while admiring the street scene outside the window when suddenly, accompanied by a sharp stop, the Bentley, which had just accelerated, came to a sudden halt.

"Holy crap, where did this lunatic come from?!"

The driver couldn't help but curse, then quickly turned around and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, she suddenly darted into the middle of the road..."

Zhou Wang, who had stumbled, looked up, his previously furrowed brows instantly freezing in place.

Because right in the middle of the road ahead, a tall girl stood there, her beautiful and spirited face expressionless, staring intently at the Bentley she had stopped.

Damn it...

When Zhou Wang saw who it was, his scalp tingled instantly.

He had considered that Qu Peining might not pretend to be indifferent, but how long had it been? The other party had come to his door without saying a word.

This was completely outside of Zhou Wang's plan.

No, sister, you're being too hasty! At least give each other some breathing room!

However, Zhou Wang couldn't back down now, so he could only signal the driver to pull over, and then gritted his teeth and got out of the car.
