Chapter 130: Chapter 115 Universal Resume_2
Listening to Chen Mei’s description, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
“This bunch of bastards, they tricked me!”
He thought everyone was more or less drunk, but now it seemed that while he was being open-hearted, they were just playing games with him!
As for Cheng Yiyi…
She definitely wasn’t drunk, and as for why she couldn’t walk, well, that’s hard to say.
“I got it, you go do your thing. If I need you, I’ll call.”
After understanding the situation, Zhou Wang nodded.
“By the way, Mr. Zhou, there’s also this…”
Chen Mei pulled out a bank card from her pocket and placed it on the bedside table, “Your friend asked me to pass this on to you before they left.”
Zhou Wang glanced at the bank card; it was the same one he handed to Liu Zixi last night. He was taken aback, then pondered.
After Chen Mei left, Zhou Wang also left the master bedroom and went downstairs. Within his field of vision, the entire apartment had been cleaned spotless, with air fresheners sprayed anew. If it weren’t for the hangover still reminding Zhou Wang, just by looking around, last night would’ve seemed like a dream.
Zhou Wang went to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of beer, and sat on the balcony.
As for why he would drink beer the morning after a hangover, well, that’s Zhou Wang’s own secret recipe, because there’s a kind of alcohol called “Soul Reviving Wine”…
Lighting a cigarette, he let the restless morning wind clear his mind for a while. Zhou Wang thought about the bank card and called Liu Zixi.
The phone was quickly answered, and Liu Zixi’s voice came through: “Hey, Brother Dog, you awake?”
“What happened last night, why’s the bank card back with me?”
At the mention of this, Liu Zixi didn’t rush to answer but laughed sheepishly.
Hearing this laugh and recalling a vague memory from last night, Zhou Wang realized something.
“You and Xie Yuying…”
“It’s official!” Liu Zixi couldn’t hide his excitement, “We got together last night, and she even took me back to the dorm… and gave me a kiss.”
“So, the cheering at that time was your confession?”
“Yeah, I blurted it out without thinking, never expected she’d actually say yes…”
“And the bank card?”
“Brother Dog, you passed out first last night. After that, Xie Yuying and I talked a lot; she’s really a great girl.”
Hearing Liu Zixi’s heartfelt voice, Zhou Wang thought for a moment and spoke:
“Let me guess. She knows the five million isn’t really yours, right?”
“How do you know?”
Liu Zixi was first surprised, then quickly responded with a “yeah.”
“But she said she doesn’t mind. She’s thought it through, we can take time with the car and house; we’ll just start dating, and she’ll communicate with her parents. She also believes I won’t let her down. As for Cheng Yiyi, she also encouraged us…”
Liu Zixi described the scene from that time, and finally said, “Oh, and Yuying asked me to thank you, although I’m not entirely sure what she’s referring to…”
Listening to Liu Zixi’s slightly puzzled voice, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but smile.
This situation seemed complicated, but it wasn’t really.
The whole thing about Liu Zixi suddenly having five million was fragile under scrutiny, especially since his reactions weren’t quite right. It was just the group’s emotions overshadowed those details.
It wasn’t surprising Zhou Wang that Xie Yuying could see through it.
But on the other hand, wasn’t Zhou Wang inviting this outcome?
Why would he so grandly offer five million to Liu Zixi? Was the money itself the key?
What really mattered was the attitude Zhou Wang was conveying.
The intriguing part was that while this matter could’ve been fake, it could also be real. If Liu Zixi had taken the five million, bought a car and house, and courted the girl he wanted, Zhou Wang would just be happy for him.
Both knew Liu Zixi would eventually return the money, perhaps over a long period, but Zhou Wang didn’t mind.
Handing out the bank card, the message Zhou Wang really conveyed to Xie Yuying was…
With Zhou Wang’s potential support, Xie Yuying didn’t need to worry that Liu Zixi couldn’t provide her a prosperous life.
Besides, Liu Zixi wasn’t lacking himself; he just lost out due to his youth.
Zhou Wang’s “help” wasn’t decisive. Ultimately, their life was their own, but it did nudge events along, allowing Xie Yuying to recognize her feelings earlier and not keep Liu Zixi hanging.
Li Cheng and the others saw the surface, Liu Zixi’s understanding was the second layer, and Xie Yuying saw the third layer.
As for Zhou Wang, he stood in the stratosphere…
“Congratulations, then.”
Zhou Wang expressed his congratulations, then added, “But are you sure you don’t need me to lend you money for a house? Aunt He has worked hard her whole life; don’t make her worry about you guys.”
“We’ll talk about that later. I haven’t figured it out yet. Even if I do need a loan, it won’t be much. In Ming City, a hundred thousand or so should be enough for a down payment. If there’s a gap, I’ll come to you.”
Liu Zixi thought for a moment and said.
“Okay.”
Zhou Wang was about to hang up when Liu Zixi called him again.
“By the way, what do you think about Cheng Yiyi?”
“What do you mean?”
Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow.
“Last night, she insisted I promise her, in front of Yuying, that I’d help her get in touch with you. It seemed like she had her sights set on you… cough cough, in front of Yuying, I couldn’t really refuse. So I’m just trying to get a sense of your attitude in advance.”
“You just focus on your own relationship for now. Don’t worry about this stuff.”
Zhou Wang laughed.
“Alright, it looks like you’re the one being pursued here. You’re in the winner’s seat, so it’s up to you how you pick.”
Liu Zixi chuckled mischievously and didn’t say more.
After hanging up, Zhou Wang, considering the promise he made to Li Cheng, left a message for Xu Wenqian to handle the matter once she was rested and pushed Yu Peipei’s WeChat to her.
Having done all this, Zhou Wang suddenly heard the sound of the system’s prompt.
Ding!
[Young friends are collectors of each other’s youth]
[Detected that the host has provided two friends with life-impacting assistance, receiving feedback from friendship, dropping “Grey Magic Ball” x1]
…
Oh, another Grey Magic Ball dropped?
But is the system’s explanation off? This level of help doesn’t seem like it would impact a whole life…
Zhou Wang was puzzled at first, but after thinking carefully, it seemed to be true.
Life is fundamentally a series of butterfly effects stemming from choices; a different choice at any moment could change the course of a lifetime.
Oh well, if the system rated it as such, who was he to argue? Of course, he’d graciously accept this reward.
For Zhou Wang now, the Grey Magic Ball couldn’t excite him much, so he didn’t hesitate and directly opted to “open” it.
The Grey Magic Ball disappeared, replaced by a form resembling a resume.
What the heck is this?
Curious, Zhou Wang used his thoughts to interact, and the relevant information appeared.
