Mrs. Kelly stated that for this level of collaboration, she typically wouldn’t need to appear in person. She came today specifically to meet Zhou Wang.
And during their casual conversation, Mrs. Kelly subtly tried to probe into Zhou Wang’s relationship with the headquarters.
Yes, even someone at Mrs. Kelly’s level did not know Zhou Wang’s true identity or why his brand rating was so high internally...
Hermes’s external VIC standard required annual spending of ten million, and it had to be continuous spending, but no matter how much you spent, you could perhaps gain Hermes’s friendship, have executives celebrate your birthday, attend various Hermes-hosted events, but essentially...
You were still a customer.
Regarding the cooperation with Wuyou Media, although it was Zhou Wang’s proposal, Mrs. Kelly only symbolically reported it to the headquarters, and surprisingly, their response was "could try."
Mrs. Kelly was taken aback when she saw the email from Paris, France. With the headquarters’ usual efficiency, receiving a reply within ten minutes was already unbelievable. Furthermore, they really delegated the cooperation authority to her, even though it wasn’t in a fully endorsed form, it was still quite revolutionary...
At that moment, Mrs. Kelly realized that the top-rated "VIC" status in Greater China was only Zhou Wang’s surface identity.
Yet beyond that, she couldn’t see further.
This led to Mrs. Kelly now facing Zhou Wang with an enthusiasm that made him slightly uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Kelly was already older, although she could tell that she might have been a beauty when she was young, Zhou Wang clearly could not accept an age difference of over twenty years...
Even though he had never been with a foreign woman, and internally yearned for it.
However, after conversing with Mrs. Kelly, Zhou Wang, while remaining impressively unruffled, gleaned some deeper implications from her words.
He initially thought it was only due to some passive spending from the system that his internal rating at Hermes kept climbing, leading to such extraordinary treatment from them. But now, listening to Mrs. Kelly’s implication, it might not be so simple...
Unfortunately, the system provided no hint, so Zhou Wang could only speculate that perhaps there was some hidden grand gift waiting for him to trigger at Hermes headquarters.
To this day, from a larger, higher perspective, Zhou Wang had started to notice some traces of "system layout."
To give a simple example, Zhou Wang had investigated the background of "Cloud Trust," which kept transferring money to him, as well as "Yunshangyun Law Firm," which had offices nationwide and even operated overseas.
Though there wasn’t much Zhou Wang could find, there was one peculiarity. Both "Cloud Trust" and "Yunshangyun Law Firm" were founded five years ago.
Five years ago was when the computer game he played launched.
So, Zhou Wang found it rather bizarre, as though the system had set up a server in reality, only this real world Online went live five years later.
And Zhou Wang, perhaps, was the only player.
There’s no point in overthinking these things, so Zhou Wang didn’t dwell on it for long.
After exchanging contact details with Mrs. Kelly and accepting the small gift she brought, Zhang Shihao, who had arranged everything, returned.
As the cooperation didn’t require his hands-on involvement, he only needed to personally give instructions to show the importance he attached to the matter.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Shihao and Zhou Wang saw Mrs. Kelly off together.
Looking at the gift bag in his hand, Zhang Shihao couldn’t help but chuckle, "Bro, I owe you one, I got a wallet for free too, and damn it’s crocodile leather, hahaha..."
All the products in Hermes’s crocodile leather series theoretically only supply VIPs, meaning only after spending a certain amount can you purchase the crocodile leather series.
Of course, wallets could be bought directly, but the two matte long crocodile leather wallets that Mrs. Kelly gifted them both should retail for between 70,000 and 80,000, making them quite a precious gift.
Zhou Wang just smiled at his words. From his aesthetic point of view, this wallet was not as good-looking as the LV wallet the personal butler Bella at Wanda Hotel gave him before, despite the value difference being dozens of times...
"Bro, I was going to sit down and chat with you, but I really don’t have the time, I’ve gotta head to the venue first."
Zhang Shihao glanced at the time and said, "The first event, the ’Wuyou Market,’ opens at two in the afternoon, when will you come over?"
"I’ll come by when the evening gala starts, need to collect a house first."
Zhou Wang said with a smile.
The Wuyou Night was a series of events that would last four to five days in total, but the highlight was only tonight’s Wuyou Gala. Zhou Wang didn’t plan to attend from beginning to end; just showing up at the evening gala would be sufficient.
"Collect a house?"
Zhang Shihao was puzzled for a moment before remembering that Zhou Wang had said he not only bought a car but also a house. Just as he was about to ask Zhou Wang where he bought it, Zhang Shihao’s phone rang.
Zhang Shihao gestured to Zhou Wang and then answered the phone.
"What?!"
Initially, Zhang Shihao’s volume was normal until he heard something that made his brow furrow. Without any reservations, he reprimanded over the phone,
"The gala is tonight, and now you’re telling me there’s a venue issue...I don’t want excuses, I want your solution... What’s your plan B...what does the weekend have to do with it... Is the weekend an issue...I don’t want those mediocre hotels, if you can’t find a suitable venue for 100 to 200 people, don’t bother coming to work on Monday either!"
