Chapter 148: Chapter 120: Everyone Wants to Chat with Mr. Zhou_4
This group, born to do this, was just talking about “drinking in moderation,” but now they wouldn’t admit it, all toasting him crazily under the banner of “Brother Dog rules the world forever”…
The only thing Zhou Wang felt he gained was that, in just this short while, his Reputation Value had increased by more than a hundred points.
On average, each person contributed five to ten points of Reputation Value to him.
Now his Reputation Value had surpassed 400, although it was still at a “novice” level, but at least he could afford those basic potions…
“Stop drinking ice water, have some soup instead.”
Zhou Wang had finally sat down, and Ding Yi stopped him from reaching for the mineral water, handing over a bowl of soup instead.
“Ew, Yi Yi, that’s the bowl you used, right? Does this count as an indirect kiss?” He teased from the side.
Zhou Wang had already taken a sip of the soup and was taken aback upon hearing it, only now noticing there was indeed a faint lipstick mark on the soup bowl.
“What are you staring at? Who told you to eat from your own bowl and make it so dirty?”
Seeing Zhou Wang looking over, Ding Yi, whose face turned slightly red, snorted softly and muttered.
Would this place ever run out of soup bowls?
The waitress was standing right behind him!
However, Zhou Wang didn’t expose the truth. He simply glanced around and asked curiously, “Huh, where’s Shen Yutong? I remember she sat down just now, right?”
“She went to change clothes, but I don’t know if she’ll be back.”
Ding Yi answered with a smile, then curiously asked, “How do you know her?”
“Didn’t you ask her?”
“But I want to hear it from you.”
Ding Yi rested her chin on her arm, which was as smooth as jade, her dark, bright eyes fixed unwaveringly on Zhou Wang.
Zhou Wang inexplicably felt a bit guilty.
This feeling was uncontrollable, even though he had no idea why he felt guilty…
That being said, Zhou Wang also felt confident that Shen Yutong wouldn’t say anything inappropriate, which was why he felt at ease letting her sit down.
Because of the alcohol, Zhou Wang’s head became somewhat groggy. He patted himself, regaining a bit of clarity.
“What is our relationship that I need to explain to you?”
Zhou Wang avoided answering, starting to dodge the question.
Wow, the Moonlight is indeed dangerous, almost being unknowingly manipulated again.
With significant personal growth in various aspects, Zhou Wang had started to faintly feel that despite Ding Yi’s outgoing and cheerful personality, always full of Essence, his understanding of her might still be a bit superficial…
At least just now, with the filters removed, Zhou Wang instinctively sensed—
This is a master.
“Maybe if you tell me, we can redefine our relationship?”
Ding Yi was still looking at him, speaking with a playful smile, and handed him a folded napkin.
Those amber-like eyes seemed to hold countless words, making Zhou Wang’s heart skip a beat.
He was about to say something when his phone started ringing. He looked down, a bit shocked, then stood up.
“I need to take a call.”
He went to the other side of the private room to answer the phone, but there was no sound from the other end, just some faint noise and music.
“Hello?”
Zhou Wang frowned, checked his phone screen again to confirm it was showing “Xu Wenqian,” then continued to ask, “Wenxi, is that you?”
“Yes… it’s me, Mr. Zhou, am I bothering you?”
A slightly hoarse voice sounded with a bit of awkwardness.
“It’s okay, go ahead.”
“Mr. Zhou, I want to see you, is that possible?”
Xu Wenqian asked after a moment of silence.
“Now?”
Zhou Wang was a bit surprised.
“Yeah… of course, if it’s inconvenient for you…”
“Hmm, then wait for me a bit and send me your location.”
Zhou Wang looked back, seeing the meal was almost finished, and agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wang returned to the dinner, joked around with Zhang Zhiyuan and others for a while longer, then had a drink to close it out before saying, “I think this is about it for tonight?”
“No way, Brother Dog, you’re not coming for the after-party?”
Zhou Yiquan exclaimed exaggeratedly.
“I have something to deal with, you guys go ahead, I’ll find you when I’m done.”
Hearing Zhou Wang say this, everyone finally dropped it.
Some people still had some bragging left unfinished, and Zhou Wang didn’t wait for them. He greeted everyone and left the private room first.
Only Ding Yi smiled and asked, as he was leaving, “You’re not off to find Shen Yutong, are you?”
“No.”
Zhou Wang answered honestly, took his coat, and left.
The bill naturally wasn’t Zhou Wang’s concern. Accompanied by Manager He, Zhou Wang went to the parking lot, where a driving service was already arranged and waiting by the roadside.
“We’ll talk about the transfer matters after tomorrow, since the property rights registration isn’t… huh?”
Zhou Wang was casually instructing Manager He when he noticed someone lingering near the Ferrari 812C. He paused, raised his hand to signal Manager He and the driving service guy to wait, and walked over on his own.
“Yutong, you haven’t left?”
As Zhou Wang approached, Shen Yutong, who seemed lost in thought, snapped back to reality. Upon seeing Zhou Wang, she was momentarily flustered.
“Ah, I… I wanted to talk to you!”
Initially, Shen Yutong was waiting here impulsively, but she didn’t expect Zhou Wang to come down so quickly and alone. In her moment of excitement, she blurted it out without considering.
Strange, why is it that so many people want to chat with me today?
Do I look like some kind of soul counselor…
Zhou Wang rubbed his throbbing temples and gestured for Manager He to back off, who wisely took the driving service guy further away.
“Let’s talk in the car.”
Seeing Shen Yutong, who was clearly shivering in the lakeside parking lot in her skirt and pants, Zhou Wang unlocked the Ferrari and gestured for her to get in.
She nodded appreciatively and got into the car.
“So, what’s up?”
Once they were settled, Zhou Wang asked.
But Shen Yutong fell silent.
“Mm?”
After waiting for a while, Zhou Wang, slightly impatient, raised his head, saying helplessly, “I have other matters waiting, how long are you going to brew this over?”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I just wanted to say to you…”
Shen Yutong quickly apologized, but the more anxious she felt inside, the more she struggled to find the words.
She wasn’t someone who couldn’t express herself, but with so many thoughts swirling in her mind, she had no idea where to start.
Seeing Zhou Wang frown again, Shen Yutong, with tears welling up in her eyes, gritted her teeth. Drawing Zhou Wang’s stunned gaze, she abruptly grabbed Zhou Wang’s hand, pulling it to her chest.
Due to eagerness, she used considerable force, rendering Zhou Wang’s hand immobile.
Jeez…
A D-level expert, what a terrifying force!
