After bidding farewell to Qu Feng and other hotel executives, Zhou Wang and Su Yajing first took Lao Ruan's Lamborghini Urus to a public parking space on the street, where Zhou Wang's Bentley Continental GT was parked.
"Ah, I... I drive?"
When she heard that Zhou Wang actually asked her to drive, Su Yajing was surprised, "But brother, I just got my driver's license, I'm a little afraid..."
Because of Zhou Wang's suggestion, Su Yajing signed up for a crash course in driving license after returning to Belvedere during the summer vacation. It took a total of 37 days to obtain the driver's license.
But as we all know, getting a driver's license and being able to drive are completely different things. Moreover, she was driving Zhou Wang's luxury car, so Su Yajing was naturally very vain.
"Don't worry, I'm still around. It's okay if you get hit. As long as you have some money, don't hit anyone."
Zhou Wang smiled and encouraged Su Yajing.
Su Yajing was actually quite courageous, so she no longer hesitated and cautiously got into the Bentley's cab with a little joy.
Zhou Wang then turned around and said to Lao Ruan: "I'll send you the location. If you arrive first, wait for me."
After Lao Ruan took the first step in the Lamborghini, Zhou Wang got into the passenger seat of the Bentley and began to guide Su Yajing on the road.
After a few minutes, Zhou Wang was surprised to find that Su Yajing was quite smart. Although she was a novice female driver, she drove very steadily. He was a little worried.
"Hehe, when I was learning to drive, I also found a special training partner. It cost me more than 20,000 yuan in total. Basically, I practiced driving except when I was helping out at the hotel..."
Facing Zhou Wang's surprised gaze, Su Yajing smiled proudly and said, "Brother, praise me!"
"It's really great."
Zhou Wang smiled and nodded, "Since you can drive it by yourself, then I'll leave this Bentley for you to practice on, or if you have a car you like, I can buy you a new one."
More than 4 million Bentley training?
Su Yajing couldn't laugh or cry.
Well, considering that this was what my brother said, although it was against the rules, it wasn't that strange.
"Okay, then I will drive my brother's Bentley first, and then I will tell my brother when I see the car I like~"
Su Yajing was not polite to Zhou Wang, she just laughed.
Without disturbing Su Yajing, who was extremely focused, Zhou Wang leaned back in his chair and took out his cell phone that had been vibrating.
It's not that a certain contact is sending him messages all the time, the crazy messages that pop up come from various group chats.
Even though Zhou Wang has left many useless group chats, there are still more than a dozen active group chats on his mobile phone. Although the message reminder is turned off, there are always people in each group who @ him from time to time. Zhou Wang was also helpless.
[Linlan International Building A Owners Group], [Wuyou Media Shareholders Group], [Wuyou Big Family], [Dianwang Club VIP Customer Exchange Group], [BSK Shareholders Group], [National Flight Resource Sharing Group] (Xiao Mao Brother is the group leader)...
In addition to these large groups, there are also small groups such as [Wangzhou Culture] with only four people including him, Xu Wenqian, Miao Ying, and Jiang Qingkui, as well as the [Instant Legal Consultation Group] set up specially for him by Yunshangyun Law Firm, etc.
The chat that was going on here was a group chat that Zhou Wang had to pay personal attention to——
[Good uncle and his nephews]
Of course, the original group chat name was definitely not this. It was Zhou Wang's own remark, but he personally thought it was very appropriate.
In addition to Zhou Wang, there are a group of second-generation people such as Zhang Dashao, Guo Bing, Shao Xiaoqi, Tang Yiming, Zhou Yiquan, Cheng Qing, etc., but they are limited to those Zhou Wang is familiar with. This group is basically the same as what Zhang Dashao later did for Zhou Wang. It was specially established by Wang. The original intention was to strengthen the connection of this small circle.
At this moment, after Lao Ruan got upset, the group exploded again.
Mr. Zhang: [? ? ? @阮京红, what do you think Zhou Wang is doing again? ]
Ruan Jinghong: [@张智元, it's nothing, I just bought a five-star hotel while eating]
Mr. Zhang: [...]
Tang Yiming:[6]
All Mondays: [6]
Guo Bing: [Uncle Zhou is awesome]
Shao Xiaoqi: [Really awesome]
…
Seeing that Lao Ruan was pretending to be cool for him in the group, Zhou Wang couldn't say anything, so he could only silently send five big red envelopes worth 2,000 yuan to the group to lighten the atmosphere.
After thinking about it, Zhou Wang added Brother B Wang Qiaobin to the group and then locked the screen of his phone.
…
The place for dinner in the evening is a private banquet restaurant called "Heyue Club" located on the edge of the West Second Ring Road of Mingcheng City.
This kind of high-end private chef with an invisible threshold implements a reservation system and catering system, and it is basically a business with acquaintances. Although links can be found on some platforms, when ordinary people look at the group purchase of a meal for two, it is nearly as high as Thousands, basically there is no idea of interesting.
At best, some couples who want to be romantic may give it a try, but will eventually be discouraged by the strong business atmosphere of the restaurant.
After more than 40 minutes of driving, the Lamborghini Urus driven by Ruan Jinghong arrived first and slowly parked into the open-air parking lot inside under the guidance of the waiter wearing a vest at the door.
Because Zhou Wang hadn't arrived yet, Ruan Jinghong was in no hurry to get out of the car. He rolled down the window and lit a cigarette for himself, looking quite tired.
Although the tourism industry is picking up, the current malicious competition in the entire industry is also very exaggerated. The family business Xinghui International Travel Company, which he took over from his father, is now showing signs of weakness after relying on its previous capital to benefit from the rebound. state.
In particular, Xinghui International's previous focus on overseas business was in Southeast Asia. Now due to various reasons, Chinese people's enthusiasm for Southeast Asia is also waning.
Coupled with the era of information explosion, young people rely more on various strategies when going out for fun, rather than following tour groups, which makes it increasingly difficult to develop new customers...
Transformation is imperative.
Ruan Jinghong has been busy working on this matter recently. Originally, he was going to visit some big guys in other industries today to look for opportunities for cooperation, but because he bumped into Zhou Wang, he could only put it on hold for the time being...
Even Young Master Zhang is trying his best to establish a good relationship with Zhou Wang. Naturally, Ruan Jinghong is not willing to miss every opportunity to deepen his relationship with Zhou Wang, just like the topic they have discussed several times in private——
There were so many capable peers around, but only Zhou Wang... they couldn't understand.
If you can't understand it, it means they are at a higher level.
Even if making good friends with Zhou Wang may not bring any immediate benefits, continuous "upward socializing" will always bring you unexpected surprises at some point.
At least Zhang Dashao, Tang Yiming and him all recognized this.
After smoking a cigarette, Ruan Jinghong was hesitating whether to ask Zhou Wang where he was. At this time, a black Range Rover slowly drove into the parking lot and stopped not far from him.
The car door opened, and first a young man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out of the driver's seat, and then a middle-aged man with a somewhat similar face to the young man stepped out of the passenger seat. He was also well-dressed and looked like a father and son.
When he saw the middle-aged man, Ruan Jinghong was startled for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
Quickly getting out of the car, Ruan Jinghong went to the trunk of the Urus to get two bottles of wine and two cigarettes, and then walked quickly towards the Range Rover.
"Mr. Lu, long time no see!"
Hearing Ruan Jinghong's greeting, the two father and son who had just got out of the car were startled.
Lu Yuansong looked at Ruan Jinghong walking over with a smile on his face, but he was a little confused, "You are..."
"Xinghui International, Ruan Jinghong, I called you a few days ago. I wonder if Mr. Lu still remembers you?"
"Oh, I remembered, you are Ruan Wen's son, right?"
Lu Yuansong suddenly understood, then smiled and shook hands with Ruan Jinghong, "I didn't expect such a coincidence, little Ruan, are you here to eat too?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, I don't know which private room you are in. I'll toast you with a glass of wine later..."
"Forget it, toast, it's not convenient today... then, Xiao Ruan, let's leave first. We can have a meal together another day when we have the opportunity."
"Okay, but Mr. Lu, please accept this little thought. It was prepared a few days ago, but you just haven't had the time..."
"Hum, given the friendship between your father and I, let's not do this. Okay, that's it."
Lu Yuansong waved his hands and refused to accept the tobacco and alcohol brought over by Ruan Jinghong. Ruan Jinghong had no choice but to give up.
…
When the two of them walked out of the parking lot, Lu Chen couldn't help but ask Lu Yuansong: "Dad, what did the man named Ruan ask you to do?"
"How many times have I told you, no matter what the occasion, you must always pay attention to your words. Ruan, although he took over the family business, he has been able to take charge of his own business for a long time. He is much better than you, Xing Hui International is also a giant in Mingcheng's private tourism companies. Next time you see him, remember to call him 'Mr. Ruan'!"
After hearing Lu Chen's question, Lu Yuansong gave a lesson with a calm expression.
"Of course I won't be rude in person... But, Dad, I'm much better than these second-generation dudes. Among the second-generation dudes you know, who can get into 211 on their own and get a national scholarship?" of?"
Lu Chen said with a bit of resentment, "If you don't believe me, give the company to me and give it a try. My safekeeping will be no worse than this Mr. Ruan!"
"Yalong Group is not a family business, and the Yalong Real Estate Development Company I am responsible for is not anyone's private property. If you are asked to be the general manager of a young boy with no experience, have you ever thought about what others will think?"
Lu Yuansong snorted coldly: "Don't think that with your second uncle's relationship, you can do whatever you want in Yalong Real Estate. Start from the grassroots department honestly. When you really have this ability, I don't need to mention it, the group will also Take the initiative to promote you to this position!"
Facing Lu Yuansong's second lecture, Lu Chen curled his lips and disapproved of it, but he didn't argue any more and just responded listlessly.
"Dad, my friend has already arrived. If it doesn't matter, I will pick him up?"
"Well, let's go... I heard from your second uncle that the person we are hosting today is quite special. He asked me to bring you here specially. He said that this might make the atmosphere better. Since your friend is also a very special person in the family, If you are a capable young man, it shouldn't be a problem for you to join in the fun."
Lu Yuansong thought for a while and nodded.
"I'm really curious. Besides, among our peers, who has the ability to be treated so seriously by my second uncle..."
Lu Chen muttered and turned around, but a name popped into his mind inexplicably. He quickly shook his head and dismissed the hateful figure.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
…
"Lao Ruan!"
Crunch!
With a graceful sideways movement, the white Lamborghini Huracan, also known as the "Maverick", steadily parked into the side parking space next to the green belt. Tang Yiming and Zhou Yi got out of the car and rushed towards the old man who was standing here waiting. Ruan said hello.
"You are here too..."
Ruan Jinghong saw the two of them and forced a smile.
"It's rare for Brother Gou to take the initiative to make an appointment. Unless I get married today, I have to come!"
Zhou Quan laughed and said.
Tang Yiming, who was more thoughtful, noticed that Ruan Jinghong was absent-minded. He took the initiative to ask: "Old Ruan, what's wrong with you? Why are you not in a high mood?"
"It's nothing. As for what I told you last time when I was drinking, I happened to bump into Mr. Lu of Yalong Real Estate just now, and ended up with a hot face but a cold butt. It seems that there is no hope for Yalong Real Estate. …"
They were all acquaintances, and Ruan Jinghong had nothing to hide and said mockingly.
"Yalong Real Estate?" Tang Yiming was startled, "Lu Conglin?"
"It's not Lu Conglin. My old man's social circle is not at that level. It's Lu Yuansong from the development company under Yalong Real Estate Group. Do you know?"
Ruan Jinghong waved his hand.
"Oh, I heard it, and it seems that Lu Yuansong and Lu Conglin are somewhat related."
Tang Yiming nodded first, then pointed at Lao Ruan with a smile.
"Old Ruan, Old Ruan, you have yourself to blame. Last time you didn't make it clear which real estate company you wanted to cooperate with. If I had known that your target was Yalong Real Estate, I would have given you a clear path at that time. Why do you need to go around asking for help?"
"What clear path?"
Ruan Jinghong was stunned.
"Hey, don't you know that Brother Gou and Lu always have a relationship?"
"Zhou Wang knows Mr. Lu?"
Ruan Jinghong was shocked and said: "Are you talking about Lu Yuansong or..."
"Of course it's Lu Conglin, the executive vice president of Yalong Real Estate!"
Tang Yiming laughed and said: "What level is Brother Dog? Although Lu Yuansong is also awesome, he is still a little bit less interesting. I only found out after hearing what Mr. Zhang said that Zhou Wang bought the 'Eye of Spring' developed by Yalong Real Estate." The King of Buildings...'Eye of Spring', you know, the King of Buildings there is really not something you can buy with money."
"Are you sure Brother Gou knows Mr. Lu Conglin?"
Ruan Jinghong's breathing became rapid.
"If I just heard Mr. Zhang say this, I'm not 100% sure, but when our No. 77 Supercar Club gathered last time, there was something wrong with the racing venue. Do you still remember this?"
Tang Yiming smiled.
"I have the impression that it was Brother Dog who solved the problem at that time..."
"Yes, when he called, only Mr. Zhang and I heard it. You two don't know the details, but the person he called was Lu Conglin. Otherwise, why do you think it was resolved so quickly?"
"Fuck!"
Ruan Jinghong couldn't help but uttered a curse word. He really wanted to say why you didn't say it earlier. If you had known that Zhou Wang and Lu Conglin were so close, he would have found Lu Yuansong!
But after the initial excitement, Ruan Jinghong thought about it again and felt that something was not right.
It was impossible to determine the relationship between Zhou Wang and Lu Conglin by just settling the venue matter. His request was not small, and it was hard to say whether Lu Conglin would do anything for Zhou Wang's sake...
Thinking like this, Ruan Jinghong felt that he was happy too early.
At this moment, under the guidance of the doorman, a Bentley Continental GT, it was not clear whether it was gray or blue, slowly drove into the parking lot. Seeing the car, Ruan Jinghong temporarily put away his distracting thoughts and said with a smile:
"It's Zhou Wang's car."
Tang Yiming and Zhou Yiyi had never seen Zhou Wang's Bentley before, but they were not too surprised. They immediately smiled and walked towards the parking space where the Bentley was parked.
After the Bentley came to a stop, it suddenly shook again, which made a few people a little stunned. When they saw Su Yajing, who was obviously a little shy, getting out of the driver's seat, they couldn't help but feel relieved.
Female drivers are...normal.
Immediately, Zhou Wang also got out of the passenger seat and greeted the few people with a smile.
"Yi Ming, Yi Quan, long time no see!"
"Hahaha, Brother Dog, I miss you so much!"
Zhou Quan was the most excited and gave Zhou Wang a bear hug when he came up.
Originally, Zhou Wang knew Yi Quan before Tang Yiming, but he happened to be absent at the No. 77 Supercar Club gathering, so he and Zhou Wang hadn't seen each other for a long time. The last time they met was at the Dianwang Club.
However, because the two of them went to the Star Bunker in Su Yajing's dormitory, they accepted Zhou Quan's favor. In addition, they had been chatting in the group, so the two were not considered strangers.
Compared with Mr. Zhang, Tang Yiming and others, Zhou Yiquan is a typical rich second-generation playboy with a bad temper, but if he can be pleasing to his eyes, his friendship will be more pure than that of Tang Yiming and others.
"Where did you go for such a naughty night last night? I can still smell the alcohol on your body..."
Zhou Wang pushed Zhou Quan away in disgust.
"Hahaha, I was discovered by you. Yesterday was my sister's birthday. I went to celebrate it and drank until five o'clock this morning. If Yiming hadn't gone directly to my house and knocked on the door, I might have missed your visit, Brother Gou. Information..."
Zhou Quan laughed and explained.
Then Zhou Wang put his shoulder to Tang Yiming's shoulder again, and the two looked at each other and smiled, which was considered a greeting.
Due to his family background, Tang Yiming is relatively low-key, and his relationship with Zhou Wang is also a bit reserved. However, because Tang Yiming grew up in Jingcheng and is half of Zhou Wang's hometown, the relationship between the two has always been maintained. good.
I just don't know if Tang Yiming is influenced by it. He prefers making phone calls to chatting on WeChat. Occasionally, a phone call comes, which is obviously just a normal greeting. He has to chat with Zhou Wang for more than half an hour every time, which makes Zhou Wang a little bit nervous. Troubled.
Although he didn't object, after all, it was quite interesting to chat with Tang Yiming, a "local expert", and he could hear many "secrets" that others could not understand.
"Let's go in first."
After greeting a few people, Zhou Wang took Su Yajing's hand and led the three of them into the restaurant.
Zhou Wang looked around and realized that this restaurant should be a club-style restaurant that serves private dishes. The internal environment is really good, with a courtyard-style open garden and no so-called lobby. They are all independent courtyards that ensure privacy. It is indeed very nice. Suitable for business banquets.
After explaining to the waiter who came over, everyone was led to a courtyard with a pavilion-style private room. What's interesting is that from a distance, you can see a gauze-covered girl playing in front of the court. Guzheng, you can also see some people waiting in the pavilion.
After stepping onto the smooth marble-paved stairs, Tang Yiming, who had been joking with Zhou Wang, finally remembered and asked:
"By the way, Brother Dog, let us help you stop drinking. At least we have to give you some information about your opponent, right? Although we don't care, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win every battle!"
"I don't know about Yi Quan and Lao Ruan, but you may know each other, that is..."
Zhou Wang was about to explain with a smile, but at this moment, a group of people walked out of the pavilion-style private room in front and took the initiative to greet them.
Walking in front was a middle-aged man wearing business casual attire. His eyebrows were sharp, but he was smiling brightly. When he saw Zhou Wang and his group, he said loudly from a distance:
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou, I haven't seen you in a month, and you look even better!"
Leading the way was Lu Culin, executive vice president of Yalong Real Estate, the number one company in the industry in Yunnan Province.
In addition to the time when Zhou Wang closed the house, Lu Conglin also visited Zhou Wang once with gifts. As for the invitations to dinner, there were countless invitations. However, Lu Conglin was busier than Zhou Wang, and the two of them never had time. Right.
Lu Conglin was pleasantly surprised when he received Zhou Wang's call this time. He also put a lot of thought into today's banquet.
Mainly, he also knew that this meal was probably not just about deepening friendship, because Zhou Wang invited Lu Yuansong, the CEO of Yalong Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Yalong Group, to attend...
This is definitely not because Lu Yuansong is his distant cousin.
Zhou Wang let go of Su Yajing's hand, took two quick steps, and shook hands with Lu Shulin who came up to her with a smile.
"I see that Mr. Lu's face is also glowing. Everything must be going well lately!"
Zhou Wang has become increasingly accustomed to this kind of social interaction, and beautiful words come out of his mouth almost without thinking.
…
Just when the two were chatting about business, behind Lu Conglin.
"Zhou Wang? The second uncle is hosting a banquet for Zhou Wang? Why is it Zhou Wang? How could it be Zhou Wang!"
Lu Chen was confused. Even though he had had similar ridiculous thoughts before, when this scene actually became a reality, he still couldn't accept it.
Little did he know that Zhang Ruifeng standing next to him was even more confused than him.
His family was in the pharmaceutical business in Lucheng. They had previously invested in a pharmaceutical industrial park in Dian Province, but the owner of the real estate company they were cooperating with ran away midway. Zhang Ruifeng was then sent by his family to try to reconnect with a partner.
Lu Chen met him at a gathering in the circle, and they have always had a good relationship. When Zhang Ruifeng came to Yunnan Province for a business trip, he naturally thought of this good brother whose family was engaged in real estate.
After meeting Lu Chen, the other party was also very enthusiastic. It happened that Lu Chen's father had a dinner party in the evening, and Lu Chen's second uncle, one of the talkers of Yalong Group, would also attend, so Lu Chen couldn't help but take him with him. Let's have dinner together, which makes Zhang Ruifeng feel that Lu Chen is quite generous.
In addition, Zhang Ruifeng had forgotten all the hardships that Zhou Wang had humiliated in disguise.
But now...
If Lu Chen's confused expression wasn't so real, Zhang Ruifeng would have wanted to ask Lu Chen, are you kidding me?
You and this Zhou Wang are on the same team, right?
Why is he everywhere?
…
At the same time, behind Zhou Wang.
Ruan Jinghong blinked and confirmed that he had read correctly. After the person who entertained Zhou Wang was indeed Lu Conglin, the executive vice president of Yalong Real Estate, he couldn't help but look weird.
He glanced at Tang Yiming, who was winking at him with an "I'll just say it" expression on his face, feeling a little ashamed.
He had even suspected before, what if Lu Conglin and Zhou Wang weren't as familiar as he thought...
Facts have proven that you can always trust Brother Dog.
Ruan Jinghong also saw Lu Yuansong who was looking at him in astonishment, somewhat embarrassed. Although in order to maintain his dignity, Ruan Jinghong still smiled and nodded to the other party, but he knew that his expression must be uncoordinated.
Didn't you say it's not convenient for you old boy to deal with me?
Isn't it convenient now?
Damn, although it's shameless to think like this, but... it feels so good to feel like a person is fighting against a "dog"!
Ruan Jinghong thought silently.
