"Mr. Chen, just drive forward. There will be staff at the intersection to guide you. I wish you both a pleasant night."
At the driveway entrance of Greentown Taohuayuan, as the gate lever was raised, a red Porsche Cayenne with a Hangzhou license plate slowly drove into the community amid the courtesy of security personnel.
Chen He put away the ID card used for registration, drove carefully, and smiled at Endme beside him:
"Xiaoxi, have you been here before?"
"No, I've never heard of it."
Endme smiled and shook her head, looking at Chen He with soft eyes.
After the party, because the location of the party was temporarily changed, Endme hesitated and went home first.
As expected, because it was past twelve o'clock, her parents refused to allow her to go out again. It was not impossible to go out if she had to...her mother would go with her.
How could Endme agree to bring her mother to the party? Then what would she become in the eyes of others...
So she had no choice but to compromise first. After taking a shower, she quietly changed her clothes and put on her makeup again in the room. She waited until after one o'clock and made sure her parents were asleep before Endme sneaked out.
Endme, who had never done anything like this before, felt as if her heart was going to jump out of her chest.
When she got downstairs, she saw Chen He waiting for her on the roadside.
This was the real reason why it felt unreal to her.
Endme hadn't even thought about how to explain it to Chen He. Who knew that after the party, Chen He took the initiative to apologize to her...
His words were very sincere. It was because he didn't know Zhou Wang's identity before that he was so rude. Since the other party is a shareholder of Wuyou Media, it is completely inappropriate for Endme and Zhou Wang to walk the red carpet together due to work needs. Very normal thing...
Endme didn't expect Chen He to be so generous, which actually made Endme a little ashamed, because only she knew that her heart was really moved when she walked on the red carpet...
But no matter what, since Chen He took the initiative to reconcile, Endme breathed a sigh of relief. She had a good impression of Zhou Wang, but she also cherished this relationship that could be regarded as her first love.
Moreover, Zhou Wang was obviously not clear with Hua Sui Sui, so it was impossible for her to get involved.
It was enough to just apologize. Later, when he learned that Endme was about to sneak out, Chen He not only did not dissuade her, but actually offered to borrow a car to take her to the party. This moved Endme even more.
So there was a scene where the two of them came to the Green City Peach Blossom Land together...
"I heard that the cheapest houses here have a small price tag. I don't know if I will have the chance to live in it in this life..."
Chen He sighed with emotion while scanning the scenery on both sides of the road with his eyes.
"Didn't you say that your resources have suddenly increased a lot recently? This is a precursor to becoming popular. When you become an international supermodel, you can participate in a few variety shows and make a fortune. A small goal will be achieved quickly!"
Endme smiled and said, "No big deal, let's work hard together, save a few years of money, and pay the down payment first..."
"Xiaoxi, you are so kind..."
Chen He looked touched and held Endme's hand.
Unexpectedly, Endme broke away subconsciously. She wiped her hands and said angrily: "Your hands are sweaty and dirty..."
"Hey, I forgot you have mysophobia."
Chen He just scratched his head and smiled, not paying attention.
Soon, under the guidance of the roadside property staff, the Porsche Cayenne slowly stopped at the gate of No. 9 of Yanyu Village.
Through the front yard, the noise of music and the sound of laughing people can be vaguely heard.
"It's a standard Chinese-style mansion... I'm afraid I don't know how much it will cost just to decorate this kind of house."
Through the gate, Chen He looked at the outer courtyard paved with white jade slabs and decorated with green vegetation, and said with emotion.
"Including decoration, the total price seems to be around 200 million~"
Endme didn't get out of the car in a hurry, and took out the small mirror to check her makeup, and answered the question at the same time.
"How do you know?" Chen Heqi asked.
"Sui Sui told me, Mr. Zhou said it himself..."
"Mr. Zhou?" Chen He was startled and said in surprise: "You mean...this is Mr. Zhou's house?"
"Hmm, a lot of people have said it in the group."
"You, Mr. Zhou... are so awesome. He is only in his twenties. How did he make so much money?"
After Chen He was stunned, he couldn't help but said.
"Who knows, there are people on the Internet who say that Mr. Zhou's family background is very ordinary, and he started from scratch. Anyway, there are all kinds of theories... Well, it's already very late, I have to go in."
After Endme finished speaking, he was about to open the car door, but then hesitated.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Chen He smiled at her.
"Ah, you said you drove the car quietly from the company, don't you need to return it right away?"
Endme asked in surprise.
"I lied to you. I borrowed the car from a friend. I told you before that I have a female boss who admires me very much. She gave me many of the resources I have now... What you see on the Internet Rumor has it that she is actually the target. I'm sorry, Xiaoxi, I have never explained this to you. "
Chen He said with a very ashamed expression.
"Okay, how can I believe what those marketing accounts say?"
Endme didn't care at all, but comforted Chen He: "You dare to drive her car to see me off. Do I still doubt you?"
Endme hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "Since you are not in a hurry to send the car back, then... do you want to go in with me?"
"Is this...appropriate?"
Chen He was obviously moved.
"Is there anything inappropriate? Originally, you can bring your family members to this party. Since they are all from the company, there is no need to avoid anything. I heard Sui Sui said that Wu Kequn also brought his girlfriend. Besides, everyone knows you. …"
Endme smiled brightly, "It's just over and you can send me back. I will definitely get home before dawn."
"Okay, Xiaoxi, you can help me make a recommendation. I have to apologize to Mr. Zhou for my recklessness last time..."
Chen He nodded quickly and said seriously.
…
In a quiet side yard away from the light in the mansion, Wang Xiaoxiao, wearing a low-cut long skirt, hurried in and then started retching while hugging the trash can in the corner.
Her tied up hair was a little messy, her face was pale, and she was coughing, which showed that she was very uncomfortable at the moment, and tears were already overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
The sound of high heels sounded behind her, and soon, a short-haired woman with glasses and a capable appearance came behind her and handed her a stack of tissues.
"Thank you... thank you, Sister Yan."
Wang Xiaoxiao calmed down for a while, and finally stood up with some difficulty.
"Are you okay?" her manager Zhao Yan asked.
"Much better."
"Okay, let's go back and drink."
"Ah, you still want to drink?"
Wang Xiaoxiao quickly shook his head, his face shivering, "Sister Yan, I, I really can't drink anymore..."
"Now that Zheng Shifeng has collapsed, before taking up the position of the new vice president of the company, the business in Zheng Shifeng's hands must be temporarily handed over to other people. Mr. Ming has deep qualifications and previous experience. Mr. Zhang will most likely hand over the operations department to Give it to him, if you don't take advantage of this time to establish a relationship in advance, when will you have to wait?"
Zhao Yan said earnestly, "And I can see that although President Ming looks at you with a vague look, it must be somewhat interesting..."
"So what if he is interested in me?"
While Wang Xiaoxiao was in disbelief, her voice became sharper, "Sister Yan, is it possible that you still want me to sleep with him? I've already told you that I can't accept this kind of thing..."
"You can't accept this?"
Zhao Yan was really annoyed, and also raised her voice, "Wang Xiaoxiao, let me tell you, since you have entered this circle, you will be selling it, either selling your art, selling your body, or selling them together!"
Zhao Yan took a step closer and stared at the stunned Wang Xiaoxiao fiercely.
"If you can't be like Tian Xinyi and get to the top just by performing arts, then you should honestly take the third path!"
"Damn Wang Xiaoxiao, you really deserve to be scolded. I have always been kind to you before. You really think of yourself as a pure saint, don't you? Are you going to set it with diamonds or gold? Huh?"
"Tell yourself how much resources I have invested in you in the past few years. If you think about how old you are, do you really think I have the patience to wait for you to step on shit and then fly into the sky? ?"
"Our agency contract will expire at the end of the year. To tell you the truth, you can either cooperate with me and let me make some money from you, and the benefits I should give you will be indispensable, or... you can just wait to be played to death by me. , Believe it or not, I have a hundred ways to make it difficult for you to survive in this circle!"
Wang Xiaoxiao's body was trembling, and various emotions such as fear, anger, grievance, and panic overwhelmed her.
She just felt that the Zhao Yan in front of her was so strange, especially the eyes full of indifference, contempt and hatred. She was completely different from the Sister Yan who used to care about her and seemed to have her best interests at heart.
"Yan...Sister Yan, you..."
"Anyway, it's all over. Let me tell you one more thing."
Zhao Yan sneered: "When Mr. Zhang named you for the appointment that night, I actually vaguely guessed that Mr. Zhou's identity was not simple, because the attitude revealed in Mr. Zhang's words was unusual, but do you think why I didn't remind you? "
"Why?"
Wang Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded and asked subconsciously.
"Because I know you are such a good-looking person, and you still can't let go of your body to please a man. It just so happens that Mr. Zheng has clearly marked the price, so why not send you over there? I can make a steady profit of two hundred thousand, so why not for?"
Zhao Yan's eyes were full of pleasure and she said with a click of her tongue: "Xiao Xiao, I didn't expect you to be worth two hundred thousand. I can only say that the archway you usually set up is still somewhat useful. At least you are better than Xiao Cheng." The class is much cleaner, some people just like this..."
There was a buzzing sound in Wang Xiaoxiao's head, and she could no longer hear clearly what Zhao Yan said next.
Annoyance and regret swallowed her soul, causing her body to tremble even more, and she even became a little unsteady.
If seeing Zhou Wang's identity exposed tonight, she just hated her own slowness, then at this moment she learned that it was not entirely her problem, but because of Zhao Yan's interference, which made her miss out on the opportunity in advance and Zhou Wang has the opportunity to make good friends, then...
She really couldn't accept it.
It turns out that she once had the opportunity to soar into the sky like Hua Sui Sui Sui.
I don't know how long it took for Wang Xiaoxiao to regain some consciousness from the confusion. In his ears, Zhao Yan's ultimatum came:
"...I'll be waiting for you at Mr. Ming's side. You can choose not to come, but you have to think about the consequences!"
Ta-ta-ta!
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, she turned around and left. Wang Xiaoxiao staggered and finally collapsed on the ground. The raging tears rolled down her dull cheeks and turned into an invisible abyss, wrapping her in it and letting her Almost suffocating.
She hugged her snow-white shoulders, and somewhere she was even snowier and whiter. Because of the squeeze, it seemed that she would break free at any time and reveal her true appearance from the darkness...
…
"nice shot!"
On the ground floor, there is a billiards room.
Seeing Zhang Shihao score an extremely difficult goal, Zhou Wang couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed.
"Hahaha, I think it's a good shot too, Lao Tan, what do you say?"
"I admit defeat, what can I say... I won't fight anymore, I'm not in good shape today, Mr. Zhang, just let it be, I owe you a total of 90,000."
Tan Yongfang, the company's vice president, spread his hands helplessly and put the billiard cue aside.
"Damn it, you old boy has to pay debts again, no, no, no, it must be settled today..."
"Ahem, let's talk about it next time. My wife is urging me, so I have to go home first... What, Mr. Zhou, I'll leave first!"
Tan Yongfang picked up his coat, said hello to Zhou Wang, and then used his escape technique.
How could Zhang Shihao let him succeed so easily, so he chased after him without mercy.
"No, if you really don't have cash, you can also swipe my card. Look, I can swipe it with my mobile phone. If you don't believe me, take out your gold card and try it..."
Seeing the two people entangled and disappearing one after another at the door of the billiard room, Zhou Wang, who was dumbfounded, turned his head and said to Mr. Qi beside him: "Mr. Qi, you have been watching for a long time. Do you have any questions?" Interested in playing a game? "
Qi Lingtong, the vice president of the e-commerce live broadcast department of Douyin Company, hesitated a little. He looked at the time on his watch: "Mr. Zhou, it's getting late. I'm afraid I have to..."
"No, Mr. Qi, I don't know why, but I feel like we really hit it off right away. Let's play billiards and chat for a while. How about just playing a round?"
Zhou Wang said with sincerity.
Qi Lingtong had no choice but to agree with a smile.
The main reason is that he believes that the young and mysterious Mr. Zhou is not telling lies and is really "in tune" with him.
It had been almost an hour since the two met. After the courtesy appearances, most of the other bosses had left one after another. At this moment, Zhou Wang was the only one in the billiard room who had been pulling him to chat and stayed until now. .
Zhou Wang seemed to be very interested in Douyin's internal affairs and kept asking him questions. He even gave Qi Lingtong the illusion that he wanted to take a stake.
Of course, this is impossible...
With the size of Douyin and the intricate relationships behind it, it has nothing to do with how much money you have. The "qualification" to enter is really not available to everyone.
But no matter what, since Zhou Wang showed his enthusiasm as a landlord, Qi Lingtong certainly couldn't leave and could only play another game of billiards with Zhou Wang.
The skills of both of them are not very good. It can even be said that they are "evenly matched in terms of bad performance" and "good skills come and go"...
But no one knows what the true level of the two is.
Anyway, Zhou Wang knew that he had let the water go.
Halfway through, under Zhou Wang's slightly surprised look, Hua Sui Sui Rui, wearing a light blue dress with two long legs exposed, came to the billiards room with a shy smile.
She just stood there obediently, watching the two of them play. When Zhou Wang needed it, she would quickly bring him ice-cold drinks, or wipe the sweat from Zhou Wang's forehead with a wet wipe.
Regarding her series of actions, Qi Lingtong winked at Zhou Wang. As for Zhou Wang, he didn't say much. He just smiled at Hua Ni Sui Sui and let her accompany him.
Seeing that Zhou Wang didn't show any disgust, Hua Sui Sui Sui relaxed a little.
About twenty minutes later, with Zhou Wang deliberately procrastinating, this long and grinding game of Chinese flower ball was finally finished...
Interestingly, Qi Lingtong and Zhou Wang both breathed a sigh of relief.
What Qi Lingtong thought was that it was finally over. Mr. Zhou was fine with everything, except that playing ball was like playing poker on horseback. Every action had to be thought about for a long time. He really couldn't stand it anymore.
What Zhou Wang was thinking about was that this hour and a half was really long. He almost ran out of topics to talk about. After all, it was just the first time they met. Most of the time, he was forced to chat awkwardly with Qi Lingtong... …
Fortunately, he finally heard the system prompt.
bite!
[Ezreal's excavation work is completed and the "treasure" has been stored in the warehouse]
"Mr. Zhou, I really want to go back. If it's too late, the tigress at home will go crazy..."
Qi Lingtong smiled bitterly.
"Then I'll give it to you, Mr. Qi?"
Zhou Wang, of course, pretended to be reluctant to leave, and sent Qi Lingtong to the door of the mansion, watching Qi Lingtong get into the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz.
After sending Qi Lingtong away, the people in the mansion were all members of Wuyou Media. Zhou Wang first asked Xiao An, who had been following him silently:
"What are Mr. Zhang and the others doing?"
"Mr. Zhang took Mr. Dong and Mr. Ming from the company, as well as Mr. Ma from Daxia Film and Television Company, and went to the lawn to drink and chat."
Xiao An immediately replied: "He asked me to tell you, don't worry about them, they will say hello to you when they leave..."
Zhou Wang nodded when he heard this, thought for a while and asked, "Have the guest rooms been cleared out?"
"It's all packed up, and a total of seven guest rooms have been reserved... When needed, the nanny's room and the bodyguard's room can also be used directly."
"That's fine."
Zhou Wang indicated that he understood.
Although in theory no one will stay overnight, preparations must be made.
"Are you trying to tell me something?"
After talking to Xiao An, Zhou Wang turned his head and looked at Hua Sui Sui Sui, who had also been following him and looked extremely well-behaved.
"No, I just want to be with you... emm, but if you have time, um, do you remember that Eleven and Sister Ran also want to meet you, and Xixi also brings her boyfriend My friend is here and he seems to want to see you too."
Hua Sui Rui asked cautiously.
"oh?"
Zhou Wang was startled for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Of course, let's go. It's true that I haven't seen them for a long time since Mingcheng separated."
Hua Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui Sui looked relieved and smiled before pulling Zhou Wang all the way to a side hall in the main building.
By now the party has started, most people have already started having fun, and the company executives have disappeared one by one. Although everyone is still inevitably divided into small groups scattered in the mansion, the overall atmosphere is better. better.
At this time, in this side hall full of mahogany furniture, the gramophone in the corner was playing soft music. Four or five young men and women were drinking, talking and laughing. When Hua Sui Rui walked in holding Zhou Wang's hand, Everyone stood up quickly.
In addition to Hua Sui Sui Sui's manager Lin Ran and photographer Eleven, the only people present were Endme and Chen He, whom Zhou Wang had met once.
Endme didn't wear a dress anymore, just a simple bright red dress. It was obviously a kitsch color, but she wore it with a sense of luxury, and it still looked stunning.
"Mr. Zhou!"
"Mr. Zhou..."
Compared with last time, Lin Ran and Eleven were obviously much more restrained. Endme originally wanted to call Zhou Wang by his first name, but he changed the title after all.
What surprised Zhou Wang most was that Endme's boyfriend Chen He, the model who even wanted to fight with him last time, walked over quickly and bowed deeply without saying a word.
"Mr. Zhou, I was too impulsive last time and interrupted your meal. This may have left a bad impression on you. I sincerely apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness..."
Zhou Wang, who was subconsciously defensive at first, looked at Chen He in surprise and said nothing for a while.
After a few seconds of silence, Zhou Wang smiled and said, "It's okay. Since it's a misunderstanding, let it pass."
Chen He looked relieved and quickly picked up the tea on the table and toasted Zhou Wang with tea instead of wine.
Endme looked at her boyfriend's humble look and felt a little weird.
Because in her impression, Chen He was the kind of boy who was a little impulsive and easily emotional. Coupled with his status as a model, he sometimes seemed a bit cool because of it. In fact, this was why Endme was finally attracted to him. reason.
She has never seen Chen He look like this...
