"Mr. Zhou, we will ensure you have plenty of private space, but when your personal safety might be under threat, we will take necessary measures based on the urgency of the situation, which may invade your privacy. Please forgive us for this..."
Inside the presidential suite, Xiao Wang, a five-star security staff from Tyrant Security, was explaining future work details to Zhou Wang and confirming some of Zhou Wang’s living habits.
According to Lin Feng’s explanation before leaving, although Tyrant Security uses a conventional star rating to categorize the internal security personnel’s levels, the standards for star advancement are stringent.
Generally speaking, completing the first security task successfully earns you one star, but getting the second star requires completing three security tasks, ten for the third...
So even though Xiao Wang appears young, he’s actually a seasoned security expert... though it’s unclear at what age he started.
"No problem, thank you for your hard work."
Finally, Zhou Wang shook Xiao Wang’s hand and then closed the master bedroom door.
He turned around to see Xu Wenqian, slightly tense.
She stood in front of the sofa, hands placed over her stomach, fingers slightly picking at each other. When only she and Zhou Wang were left in the room, Xu Wenqian felt her heart racing and her breath becoming increasingly rapid.
She didn’t know why she was so nervous, knowing it had only been two months since she last saw Zhou Wang and they’d already shared intimate moments...
But at this moment, she still felt tense, with uncontrollable blood rushing, and something flowing downwards. The dizzying heat made Xu Wenqian almost unable to stand, feeling her strength in her legs draining away.
Zhou Wang noticed Xu Wenqian’s embarrassment and awkward posture. He smiled and walked over to embrace her.
As Xu Wenqian softened, Zhou Wang gently placed her on the sofa, hugging her waist, "Let’s chat."
Uh?
Xu Wenqian, having closed her eyes subconsciously, breathed a sigh of relief but felt somewhat lost. She quickly adjusted her mood, responded with a "hmm", leaned into Zhou Wang’s arms, and sighed contentedly.
Even though the dazzling lights of Magic City were outside the window, at this moment, Xu Wenqian felt as if she had returned to the Spring Eye Apartment in Ming City. That long-lost sense of security returned.
Apart from naturally strong women, most girls are like this, with an ingrained, thousands-of-years-old habit of dependence.
Hence, in a healthy romantic relationship, women must admire men in some aspect.
Relationships with strong women and weak men often don’t last long or have many issues, with their roots here.
Zhou Wang wasn’t in a rush, recognizing that Xu Wenqian seemed a bit "overexcited". He intended to give her some space to recover by chatting with her.
He didn’t want Xu Wenqian passing out midway, which would be awkward enough that Zhou Wang wouldn’t know whether to call an ambulance.
"Have you bought your parents’ house?"
Xu Wenqian thought Zhou Wang would first ask about work, but he surprised her by asking another question, warming her heart as she answered, "I bought it a month ago. At the time, I was in the Magic City, and Sun Yi helped organize things for them..."
"How much did it cost?"
"Including some added furniture, it totaled 920,000... There’s 80,000 left, and I’ve already credited it back to the public account."
Xu Wenqian quickly responded, "I have the detailed list. Would you like to see it, boss?"
"What do I want to see that for?"
Realizing Xu Wenqian might have misunderstood, Zhou Wang said unpleasantly, "And you, why return the 80,000 to me? Have you forgotten what I told you before... I was afraid your one million wouldn’t be enough, so that’s why I asked what you spent."
"I know you’re not stingy, boss, but I’ve already received enough. I can’t bear any more psychological burden."
Xu Wenqian said softly, "One million is fine; the house available in Yi County is already quite good."
"That’s fine, then. You can replace it later when the timing is right..."
Zhou Wang thought for a moment and said.
Back then, giving Xu Wenqian one million was because he only had ten million. Now, although with over a hundred million in cash, it’s not much, but spending a few million doesn’t pose much pressure.
After asking about Xu Wenqian’s recent life, Zhou Wang asked, "Is something difficult regarding the charity event?"
"Boss, I’m sorry, I haven’t had the chance to tell you yet..."
Xu Wenqian instinctively tried to sit up but was held down by Zhou Wang.
"I’m not blaming you; I know you want to solve it yourself, but sometimes you don’t need to be strong. You can seek help from me... Even if you mess it up, at worst I fire you, and you can just be my little lover. I’ll support you for life."
"Bo... boss..."
Almost bursting into tears, Xu Wenqian took a deep breath to steady her emotions, then started explaining the situation to Zhou Wang.
After listening, Zhou Wang summarized, "So it’s not only because the procedures for hosting the event are strict, but also since the Wangzhou Fund was established not long ago, and Director Li has concerns?"
"Yes, though he didn’t say it explicitly, I feel that’s the reason. I even tried to give him some gifts, but he refused them..."
