Zhou Wang sympathetically patted him on the shoulder. He knew that from this moment on, another pure love warrior had fallen...
So Zhou Wang gave Tong Jingcheng a knowing look; Tong Jingcheng understood and came over to take Zhou Wang’s place.
Let the professionals handle the professional matters, like consoling a lovesick fool. Tong Jingcheng was definitely more professional than he was...
...
Around a little after three, everyone left BSK.
Zhou Wang’s V06 table had a total expense of 38,000, which also included a 500 yuan "taxi fee" for each woman, as most of them drank beer and only a few had the 880-a-bottle Queen Champagne. So the final cost wasn’t too high.
The bill for the V03 table was quite long, totaling 220,000 when printed out, with nearly 60,000 of that spent on the gifted vodka extractions across more than 50 tables. It wasn’t too outrageous.
Of course, not all the alcohol was finished. A large portion of it was saved for later.
The main reason for the high cost was when Guo Bingfei insisted, "We have to get Uncle Zhou the Divine Dragon Set," which was the most expensive night club package, otherwise, it wouldn’t have cost that much.
After all, almost all the beer and soft drinks were complimentary.
Zhou Wang didn’t pay anything, because Guo Bing had already rushed to pay for both tables, not even giving Zhou Wang a chance to say "it’s not appropriate."
But before leaving, Zhou Wang thought for a bit and still said to Biaozi, "Let’s settle Jiang Mubai’s performance fee in full. The extra will be on me."
Since Jiang Mubai didn’t perform after the break, her fee was cut in half. It was originally 60,000, but ultimately it was only 30,000. If paid in full now, it meant Zhou Wang had to fork out another 30,000 personally.
"Okay."
Biaozi turned around and conveyed this to the duty manager, and only then did everyone leave.
Song Rui was ultimately drunk, and their table of friends took responsibility for getting him home...
Zhou Wang wasn’t sure how much of the guidance from Tong Jingcheng would actually help him. Perhaps only time would tell.
"Uncle, want to grab some late-night snacks together?"
For some reason, Guo Bing was still in high spirits and invited Zhou Wang again.
Zhou Wang naturally declined politely; this long day had left him feeling a bit numb, and he hadn’t even had the chance to check all the prompts from the system yet. Besides...
With late-night snacks in Hang City, he truly wasn’t interested.
Watching Zhou Wang get into the Mercedes S500L and drive off, Guo Bing dazed for a moment, then suddenly turned to Shao Xiaoqi and said:
"Forget it, Xiao Qi, I’ve suddenly lost my appetite. Let’s go back."
"Huh?"
Having so much to say to Guo Bing, Shao Xiaoqi asked in disbelief, "It’s still early, why aren’t we eating?"
"It’s just... suddenly not interested. I’m heading back to Magic City."
Guo Bing spoke as if making a firm decision.
"Back to Magic City? Now?"
Shao Xiaoqi was completely flabbergasted.
"Yeah, I calculated the time. If I go back now and rest a bit, I can get up and have breakfast, and still make it to the school’s morning reading session. I’ve been at Magic City University of Transportation for so long, and I’ve never seen the 7 o’clock morning sun. It’s about time I did..."
"???"
Seeing the earnest Guo Bing, Shao Xiaoqi wondered if he’d been possessed. After confirming multiple times that Guo Bing wasn’t joking, he couldn’t help but curse.
"Seriously, Bing, are you okay... What’s with this sudden surge of motivation?"
"Because of Uncle Zhou’s guidance, I’ve finally figured things out. I can play anytime, but the time when I can still learn is already running out..."
Guo Bing said frankly.
"Bing, are you crazy? It’s just us here; you still call him Uncle?"
Shao Xiaoqi found it increasingly difficult to comprehend, exclaiming, "What’s so special about him, just because he knows your dad? Wake up, Bing!"
"You wouldn’t understand..."
Guo Bing merely smiled at this, then waved a hand, "You all had drinks, no need to worry about me."
With that, Guo Bing flagged down a cab on the side of the road. In the dazed expressions of Shao Xiaoqi, Huang Dapeng, and others, he got into the back seat and waved, "Driver, to Magic City University of Transportation. Just turn on the meter!"
Seeing their incredulous faces, Guo Bing didn’t say anything further, but couldn’t help smiling wryly.
Damn, he had been pretending for so long, but it wasn’t until this moment that he felt like he really pulled it off...
After confirming it was indeed the Magic City University of Transportation, the cab driver, ecstatic, drove away, leaving Shao Xiaoqi and the others bewildered in the wind.
"Cough, Xiao Qi, this Zhou Wang, this Mr. Zhou is something else. I’ve never seen Bing like this!"
Huang Dapeng couldn’t help saying.
"Seriously, I’ve never seen it either... Damn, Bing just puts on an act for him. I have no association with Zhou Wang, so I’m not scared of him!"
Shao Xiaoqi said, cursing, "Calling him Uncle Zhou, my ass, what’s he got on us!"
...
August 16th, morning.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhou. When you open your eyes, the sunlight will brighten your window!"
When Zhou Wang woke up from the soft bed, he saw a handwritten card placed on the bedside table, along with a glass of warm water and some vitamins, liver protection pills, and the like.
No doubt, this was prepared by the housekeeper, Xiao An.
Indeed, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony, confirming the words on the card.
Zhou Wang wasn’t particularly drunk last night, perhaps just exhausted...
