Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 606 After Dawn
How did this video come to be?

Lisa was the first to exclaim, "Didn't the camera only film the front? And when Mr. Zhou left, he even had his bodyguard take the memory card too..."

The second reason why Lisa and Jisoo couldn't confront Zhou Wang at the time was that Zhou Wang had taken the memory card.

It seems that he only filmed the footage for his own enjoyment and had no intention of sharing it, so the two girls quickly forgot about it.

"Can't you tell from the angle?"

The agent, Sister Lin, also looked a little frustrated. "This was obviously filmed by a staff member who was present... Even if it wasn't, it's pointless to investigate the source of the video now. The key question is, how should we handle this matter?"

After the video surfaced, the public relations department at the South Korean headquarters began taking action. However, it was late at night, and there were insufficient staff on duty. Furthermore, by the time the video was discovered, it had already spread widely online, making it impossible to cut off the source...

The matter involves BlackPink, the most popular girl group in South Korea right now. In just over ten minutes, it jumped from the bottom of the trending topics to the top 10, and it is estimated that it will reach the top of the list by tomorrow morning at the latest.

This is also related to the personas that the four BlackPink girls have always established.

Although there have been some rumors, the four girls have always been seen as single and innocent by their fans. In the eight years since their debut, only Kim Jisoo has had a public relationship, and they broke up a long time ago.

Now, this video has suddenly surfaced, showing a man brazenly taking liberties with them, and it's two members together...

It is foreseeable that this will cause a huge uproar among fans.

If not handled properly, this could be the biggest image crisis they've ever faced since the company's inception.

Not to mention that many of the comments were driven by trolls, such as—

"Kim Jisoo usually seems like a sunny and gentle older sister, but I never expected her to be so promiscuous in private. That man's hand was almost inside her skirt, and she was still smiling shamelessly!"

"Lisa's cute appearance belies a lewd heart. Her butt looks so perky and soft, can I pinch it? (laughs)"

Just one glance at these appalling comments was enough to infuriate not only Lisa and Jisoo, but also Jenny and Rose.

Although they weren't filmed, and the four members now have their own careers, they are still essentially one. There are already people in the post selling AI-generated videos for money everywhere, which is quite a mess.

Sister Lin is under tremendous pressure. The company's senior management has personally called her, not only demanding to know the man's identity, but also demanding that she quickly come up with a way to refute the rumors, or she will have to bear full responsibility.

Lisa and Jisoo were also anxious. Jisoo spoke first, saying, "The statement denying the rumors must be issued as soon as possible. We can't wait until tomorrow. The longer it's delayed, the worse it will be for us!"

"But how do you explain that?"

Lisa ripped off her face mask and said anxiously, "It's a fact that we were taken advantage of by one man. No matter how we try to explain, our fans won't believe us..."

"Not necessarily."

At this moment, Rose, who had already learned about the situation and Zhou Wang's "identity" from Sister Lin, said coldly, "I think we can completely portray ourselves as victims and push all the responsibility onto that man surnamed Zhou. Don't forget, this is a foreign country... and it just so happens to be China, which is the most particular about unspoken rules."

Jenny, who was also pondering something, suddenly had a bright idea. "That's right. Given the stereotypes that the Korean people have about China, as long as we collectively play the victim and show our innocence and grievances, they will transfer their anger to this Chinese man."

All four girls are veterans in the entertainment industry, and Lisa and Jisoo quickly understood what Jenny and Rose meant.

In short, they completely distanced themselves from the situation, claiming they were forced to take photos with a powerful figure like Zhou Wang due to pressure from "unspoken rules." They said Zhou Wang pressured them, and although they felt humiliated, they had to swallow their anger because they were in a foreign country...

Rose and Jenny raised many more points, such as that they had already protested to the company, but because it was not yet working hours, the company had not had time to respond.

For example, this young Chinese man had actually harassed them before; Rose and Jenny chose not to attend the fan meeting because they couldn't bear the harassment anymore...

Lin, the agent standing to the side, was both happy and worried as she listened to the girls devise a plan so quickly.

"That's a good idea, but the problem is... won't this offend Mr. Zhou?"

"Sister Lin, didn't you say that he's just a friend of President Li of Galaxy Group, not President Li himself?"

Jenny said dismissively, "Even if it's President Li himself, he only has influence in Australia. Anyway, now that this has happened, our performance tomorrow is going to be canceled no matter what, so we can just pin the blame on them and go straight back to China..."

"Yes, but..."

Lisa seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

The solution that Jenny and Rose came up with is a good one, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to smear others and even involve regional issues?

Although that mysterious young man named Zhou Wang did go a bit too far, he wasn't the one who released the video, so he should also be considered a victim...

Moreover, due to the angle, the video did not capture Zhou Wang's face clearly, but Lisa could foresee that once his true identity was revealed, his life would likely be greatly disrupted.

Because BlackPink aren't just celebrities in South Korea, they're international superstars...

Kim Ji-soo, who is relatively kind-hearted, also had the same concerns, but at this time, Sister Lin had been persuaded by Jenny and Rose, and her expression became firm.

“Then let’s do it this way. I’ll have the PR department post an article on your official account in a bit. You can also post an update on your personal accounts, telling the story from your own perspective, to make everything more credible.”

Once Sister Lin made the decision, she quickly urged the four girls to get started.

……

At noon, the sunlight, carrying a slightly salty and damp scent, shone in through the not-quite-closed French windows, casting dappled patterns on the messy bed and on the couple entangled like octopuses.

...although they were already covered in blemishes.

Zhou Wang wasn't awakened by the sunlight, but by a system notification that suddenly rang in his mind.

Ding!
The "psychological crime halo" has lost its effectiveness.

Zhou Wang suddenly felt a sense of relaxation in his mind, as if something had truly gone far away.

He slowly opened his eyes, gradually recalling his experience yesterday after being enveloped in the halo.

Damn it, I actually gave away millions at the poker table, what an idiot...

What? I also insulted Su Yajing?
They're worse than animals! Absolutely worse than animals!
At the time, Zhou Wang didn't think anything of it and felt quite clear-headed. But once the halo effect completely wore off, he realized that his entire state was actually very wrong.

All the evil in one's heart is magnified infinitely.

Including the matter of going to the Royal Spa... well, normally, even if Zhou Wang was really curious, he wouldn't rush over there in broad daylight.

Other businesses haven't even opened yet... that's outrageous.

Although the trip was a bit physically demanding, looking back, there are still many details worth savoring. Playing "murder mystery games" here isn't like some empty-headed clubs in mainland China where you just change into a uniform and stockings; it's a complete role-playing experience. For example, the clinic scenario starts with a medical consultation, and the palace scenario starts with attending court...

Although the environment is a bit rough, we still try our best to give you the greatest sense of immersion.

The experience of driving a genuine hybrid imported car is also quite good. Although the service details cannot compare with domestic cars, it is more unrestrained.

This kind of unrestrained experience of daytime debauchery is destined to be unrepeatable. For Zhou Wang, who is used to a life of luxury, the quality of these girls is still a bit low, but it can still broaden his experience and knowledge.

Zhou Wang subconsciously moved, only to find that the area he touched was all slippery. His body was also locked by the white arms and legs. Looking down, he saw a face with a distinct exotic charm, yet exquisitely beautiful, sleeping with slightly furrowed brows amidst the messy hair.

It is indeed very exquisite, and this is not a judgment made by Zhou Wang based on subjective emotions.

Because during their exhausting lovemaking last night, he was certain that Cui Min'er had not only eaten all of his lip gloss, but also rubbed off any face powder she had on her face.

Therefore, at this moment, Choi Min-ah must be completely without makeup.

Her skin is really well-maintained, delicate and fair. However, when she lost her concealer, a small mole was revealed at the corner of her mouth, but it was nothing to worry about.

As the focus shifted to Cui Min'er, Zhou Wang recalled more details of the absurd events of the previous night.

First, after being personally verified by the renowned art connoisseur Mr. Zhou Wang, it can be confirmed that apart from minor adjustments to her facial features, Cui Min'er's body is absolutely original.

This was the second thing that surprised Zhou Wang.

When Cui Min'er went swimming at night, Zhou Wang noticed that although Cui Min'er's figure was not as voluptuous as Shen Yutong's, she was tall enough, had good proportions, and was very self-disciplined. The combination of these factors made her the legendary woman with a slim waist, round hips, and long legs.

Her bra size may not be as large as Shen Yutong's, but it is perky and teardrop-shaped, perfectly embodying the youthful and fiery charm of a young girl.

However, apart from accidentally touching it when he was drunk the first time, Zhou Wang had only gotten visual artistic satisfaction and had never actually handled it for identification.

But last night, Zhou Wang truly felt it.

It's all natural body fat, with no trace of artificial fillers.

There are many more adjectives that Zhou Wang doesn't know how to use to describe it, but to borrow a classic line from a movie:
"Very smooth."

The key point is that Zhou Wang, who was in the dark at the time, had no intention of showing any mercy to Cui Min'er, nor did he care that Cui Min'er had no prior experience. He had just gotten his driver's license and was speeding with her. Cui Min'er was so frightened that she cried and screamed incessantly. She was also hit on the head and bled profusely by the bumpy ride.

What a miserable old man.

Because of the sunk cost effect, Cui Min'er unconditionally cooperated with Zhou Wang, which made Zhou Wang very happy.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wang felt somewhat helpless after the halo faded.

The dark version of himself will only exist for one day, so he'll have to clean up the mess.

However, what's done is done, and Zhou Wang wasn't too upset. After all, his impression of Cui Min'er had indeed changed a lot after spending time together.

Of course, if Zhou Wang had followed his original plan, even if something were to happen between him and Cui Min'er, it probably wouldn't have happened so quickly.

It can't be said that Cui Min'er is a purely bad girl, but she does have some qualities that Zhou Wang dislikes.

Excessive vanity, lack of self-awareness, jealousy, etc.

However, although the dark version of himself disrupted his rhythm, he also managed to tame Choi Min-ah right away by sheer luck.

Zhou Wang was certain that she currently felt more awe than affection for him, and she was extremely afraid that Zhou Wang would turn his back on her. Therefore, she shouldn't cause any trouble in the short term.

Suddenly, the girl in his arms squirmed, made a soft "whimpering" sound, and slowly opened her eyes.

Zhou Wang felt Cui Min'er's unconscious, slight friction, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, almost losing control of himself again.

Because, like Xiao Wenqian, Cui Min'er really doesn't have it!

I don't know if it's an innate divine body or something removed later, but it's as smooth as a mirror and leaves a lasting impression.

A moment of confusion flashed through Cui Min'er's bright, light brown eyes. But after feeling the various discomforts in her body and seeing the man's face clearly, she finally remembered everything, and her expression suddenly became complicated.

At this moment, Zhou Wang raised his hand, and Cui Min'er instinctively shrank back.

Zhou Wang was taken aback, then realized that it was probably some of his actions during his speeding last night that had left her with psychological trauma.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wang didn't explain, but just smiled at Cui Min'er, then cupped her cheeks and placed a gentle kiss on her slightly upturned red lips.

"Good morning, baby."

Cui Min'er stared blankly at Zhou Wang, feeling his gentleness, which was so different from last night, and then nodded shyly.

"Morning~"

Feeling Cui Min'er's body gradually relax and snuggle closer to him, Zhou Wang stopped talking and simply held her gently, enjoying the morning light.

"I……"

After an unknown amount of time, Choi Min-ah seemed to have mustered up a great deal of courage and hesitantly said, "I'll sneak out of your room later. No, I won't cause you any trouble."

When she said those words, Choi Min-ah's eyes dimmed slightly.

She was simply abiding by the "agreement" they reached last night, which stipulated that she was merely Zhou Wang's mistress and that their relationship on the surface would remain unchanged.

Zhou Wang sighed inwardly, thinking how ruthless his dark version of himself was, managing to transform the proud Cui Min'er into this state in just one night.

"Need not."

Zhou Wang yawned.

"Ok?"

Cui Min'er looked up at Zhou Wang with a puzzled expression.
