"Alright, Shao Xiaoqi, if they don’t want to sell, then they don’t want to sell. Why are you so persistent? Are you trying to show off?"
At this moment, Guo Bing, who had been playing on his phone beside him, looked up impatiently and snapped.
Shao Xiaoqi, who Zhang Zhiyuan couldn’t handle, immediately quieted down after Guo Bing spoke up.
After scolding him, Guo Bing sneered, "Didn’t you hear they drove a Ferrari 812C here? Are they really short of your one or two million? Just let it go, don’t waste any more time. Let’s hurry up and get out of here... this Ming City, it’s really dull."
As Guo Bing finished, he casually glanced at everyone.
The expressions of those around them slightly shifted.
Listening to what was said earlier, they thought Guo Bing was genuinely trying to intervene for Shao Xiaoqi, but now it seemed...
He wasn’t reprimanding his friend; it was a kind of indirect sarcasm, flattering on the surface but disparaging underneath!
His words said one thing, but the underlying meaning was something else...
Shao Xiaoqi flaunting among a bunch of "country bumpkins" was purely a waste of time.
But compared to Shao Xiaoqi’s straightforwardness, Guo Bing’s taunting was quite subtle, leaving no room for argument. No matter who it was, it wasn’t easy to react, even if his disdain was blatantly on his face.
Zhou Wang also glanced at Guo Bing in surprise, this Guo fellow had quite a knack for acting superior, he was much more advanced than Shao Xiaoqi...
Just as Zhang Zhiyuan frowned and was about to say something, Guo Bing turned to Zhou Wang and spoke mildly,
"Zhou Wang, right? Sorry about that, sometimes my friend acts a bit childish, don’t mind him."
"I don’t mind at all, you said it yourself, it’s child’s play."
Zhou Wang chuckled and said, "Perhaps our Ming City is a bit off, causing GPS to malfunction, and some people just aren’t clear about their position, right?"
As Zhou Wang said this, his gaze obviously swept over several people including Guo Bing.
This time Guo Bing’s expression changed, while the people around the club felt a rush of comfort in their hearts.
See, what really is a master?
As if no one else could subtly criticize and indirectly taunt!
"Alright, everyone, it’s about time, let’s head over there and take our seats."
Zhang Zhiyuan stepped in at the right moment, cutting off whatever Guo Bing wanted to say. He clapped his hands and smiled, "There’s one more thing today that I need everyone’s help with."
Guo Bing didn’t say anything more, just shot a cold look at Zhou Wang before turning away with the obviously disgruntled Shao Xiaoqi and the others toward the rest area.
Once they had walked a little further away, Zhang Zhiyuan quickly clasped his hands and spoke to the others around, "My friends here don’t always have the most pleasant words, please don’t take it to heart, I apologize on their behalf. Tonight, drinks are on me!"
With Zhang Zhiyuan’s words, everyone naturally put on a smiling face, and the atmosphere became considerably more harmonious.
After calming everyone down, Zhang Zhiyuan specifically pulled Zhou Wang aside, "Brother Dog..."
"No need, I know what you’re going to say, it’s really unnecessary..."
Zhou Wang immediately stopped him.
"Fine, I knew you’d understand."
Zhang Zhiyuan patted Zhou Wang’s shoulder and helplessly smiled, "They’re not actually my real friends, like that Guo Bing, our families have some business dealings, it’s hard to completely cut ties."
"Oh, it’s just a little argument, nothing serious."
Zhou Wang chuckled, then curiously asked, "But what’s this thing you mentioned?"
Zhou Wang had realized that the reason Guo Bing was impatient with Shao Xiaoqi and his entanglement with him earlier was that they were wasting his time, which was likely related to what Zhang Zhiyuan mentioned.
Or, to be more precise, Guo Bing probably came specifically for this.
"You’ll find out soon enough. I told you before that you must come today to support the event, and it’s related to this as well. Depending on your needs, you might even get to be in the spotlight, ha ha..."
Zhang Zhiyuan laughed and went off to make the necessary arrangements.
Meanwhile, Zhou Wang and Miao Ying stayed put. Zhou Wang first paid the balance to She Baichuan, and after completing the transfer procedures, Miao Ying parked the Mercedes AMG, and then Zhou Wang walked toward the rest area.
Halfway there, Zhou Wang’s phone rang with the chorus of "Stan" as the ringtone.
He pulled it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number, causing him some surprise.
After setting up his phone with a bit of help from his personal customer service, Xinxin, most spam calls couldn’t get through now, but this number was not ordinary.
It started with "182," followed by six consecutive "8’s."
It wasn’t as impressive as the number Zhou Wang bought for 15 million, but it was pretty decent.
The number belonged to Magic City.
Zhou Wang pondered for a moment and then moved to the side to take the call.
"Hello?"
"Is this Mr. Zhou from Ming City?"
A probing voice came from the other side, it sounded like a mature man.
"Who is this?"
"Ha ha, this is ’Mr. Guo from Magic City,’ do you remember me?"
Mr. Guo from Magic City?
Zhou Wang was momentarily taken aback, then something clicked.
Last night when bidding for the phone number, there was someone from "Magic City" he jousted with for several rounds...
"So it’s you, my friend."
Zhou Wang laughed and became noticeably more courteous.
"Brother, your bold move last night left a strong impression on me, I didn’t expect you to be so young."
Mr. Guo laughed heartily, and took the opportunity to change the way he addressed Zhou Wang, then sighed, "I thought at the time that I must meet you, and I just remembered and tried calling your number. I didn’t expect to get through so quickly, ha ha ha..."
