Capítulo 1170: Chapter 442: [Princess] _2
“Princess Margaret” is not a person’s name; it is the name of a type of rose cultivated by the British in 1990.
This flower exhibits an apricot-yellow color, with a fruity fragrance, full and rounded petals, and is known as the “goddess” among roses.
However, it is essentially a climbing rose, which is a common type of rosa genus plant.
Therefore, it has another characteristic.
That is, it grows in a climbing manner. Its branches are too soft and require strong support to survive.
From today, Zhou Wang is Yu Duo’s support.
This method might have some dark implications, but with Yu Duo’s parents being ordinary people, Zhou Wang’s options for a long-lasting relationship with Yu Duo are quite limited.
During the glorious days of Yu Duo’s family in the past, the possibilities were even lower… unless Zhou Wang completely disregards Yu Duo’s feelings, putting her in a dilemma.
A successful ascender always has to make certain sacrifices in morals.
Zhou Wang has this realization, so he won’t regret his actions today.
“How can one find a way to have it both ways in this world…”
Zhou Wang said self-mockingly, then let go of Xu Wenqian, and walked outside first.
There were still many people waiting in the hall, and he needed to attend to some final matters.
Xu Wenqian lagged behind, before she caught up, she took out her phone and glanced at it, seeing a message from Yu Duo just sent.
“Sister Qianqian, really didn’t expect such a coincidence, you’re actually working for that big bad guy!”

“Oh no oh no, I’ve complained so much about him to you, you absolutely can’t tattle on me!”
In Yu Duo’s words, she is still as full of vitality as before, seemingly unchanged.
But Xu Wenqian, with her keen insight, noticed that Yu Duo was trying hard to act as if nothing had happened, wanting to interact with her as before…
But, can it still be the same?
Xu Wenqian stayed stunned for quite a while, then picked up her phone to reply to Yu Duo, but deleted several lines of text she typed.
Ultimately, Xu Wenqian quietly put away her phone and stepped forward to catch up.
…
In the hall of Weijing Pavilion.
Although He Jinglun and his son, Yu Zetao, Qi Kai, and others had already left, there were still quite a few people lingering here.
The most conspicuous were Jian Zhuoran and others standing at the edge of the corridor, stretching their necks in anticipation.
There was no doubt their mood was restless.
They all knew Zhou Wang’s prowess; otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked Jian Zhuoran to visit Zhou Wang as soon as he arrived in Beidou, going to great lengths to set up this banquet just to connect with Zhou Wang.
But from their perspective, they believed Zhou Wang was only favored by the Beidou circle because of the renowned Jingwang Club.
And not because Zhou Wang himself was that formidable.
There is a fundamental difference here.
After all, if it’s just a matter of the Jingwang Club, known for developing the “Little Blue Bottle,” then Zhou Wang seems more like a lucky young man, perhaps even a spokesperson pushed out by the capitalist circle, lacking substantial authority.
This is a common occurrence in many capital operations.
But who the heck could have thought Zhou Wang could be so formidable?
When He Jinglun rushed over, they realized how far off their perception had been.
Yet none of this mattered now… the urgent task was how to repair their relationship with Zhou Wang.
After all, when facing He Jiang’s pressure just now, they had quietly retreated, no one dared to stand with Zhou Wang, except…
At this moment, Bai Feifei couldn’t suppress a smile on her lips.
And a bit further behind, Xu Qing from Ginkgo Capital was sitting correctly like an elementary school student, waiting for Zhou Wang to appear.
She was still holding her phone, face reflecting the remnants of shock.
This shock didn’t stem from earlier, but from a recent memory refresh…
After a call with her assistant, asking to review her previous memos, Xu Qing finally recalled why she initially focused on Zhou Wang, and after making a few more calls, she had basically confirmed her suspicion.
This made her increasingly tense, accompanied by a sense of indescribable excitement.
She vaguely felt today’s meeting was crucial for her, and if she missed this opportunity, she’d regret it for life.
What made Xu Qing a bit puzzled was…
“Dean Wang, didn’t realize you were still here?”
It made sense for Mr. Elva, the executive director of the Waldorf Hotel, to wait here to apologize after offending Zhou Wang, but for Dean Wang Chunsheng, who had disappeared for a while and now suddenly emerged here, it made Xu Qing a bit confused.
“Uh, I still have some matters…”
Not knowing what to say, Wang Chunsheng’s expression was awkward, feeling quite frustrated.
He actually never liked Mr. He’s style, so earlier, sensing things might spiral out of control, he used a bathroom trip as an excuse to sneak away, only to receive a call later informing him of what transpired, leaving Wang Chunsheng bewildered.
Who could have imagined the one confronting He Jiang would ultimately be Zhou Wang…
What shocked Wang Chunsheng even more was witnessing He Jinglun having to bow before Zhou Wang.
There was no hiding from it; Zhou Wang will surely know he was present at the banquet, so Wang Chunsheng came back to make amends.
