"Wang Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about again? Why aren’t you talking?"
Wang Xiaoxiao, clearly lost in thought, snapped back to reality and said with a slight panic, "Oh, oh, I was just wondering if Xixi would still come..."
"You know she has a thing about cleanliness, she’s just gone back to change and take a shower. She will definitely come... It’s her first major event after signing with the company, she can’t possibly miss it. She probably just snuck out without her parents knowing."
Hua Suisui chuckled.
"Our party venue really is at ’Green City Peach Blossom,’ huh? No wonder it’s so far..."
At this moment, Lin Ran glanced out the window at the stunning scenery and couldn’t help but exclaim, which caught the attention of several girls.
"Is this the neighborhood where Jack Ma is rumored to live?"
Hua Suisui asked curiously.
"They say he has property here, but I’m not sure if it’s true. Though I have heard that many CEOs of listed companies in Hang City live around here..."
As Lin Ran spoke, the speed of the Mercedes business car suddenly slowed down, as the lead vehicle had already arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood.
At the neighborhood entrance, the neatly dressed security guards looked more like concierges, politely checking each car’s documents before allowing them through.
After entering the neighborhood, most of the cars in the convoy had their windows rolled down, with numerous internet celebrities curiously peeking out to take in this villa community, reportedly one of the top ten luxury homes in Hang City.
Even though it was nighttime, perhaps because it was the weekend, several villa estates were lit up, and faint music could even be heard drifting through the air...
Each villa, with its unique style, amazed people, and there was always someone who could find their dream home amidst the diversity.
"If you like it, just buy one, Peach. With your current income, it would only take, like, fifty years to save enough, just in time to settle here, haha..."
"Get lost, even if I bought it, I couldn’t afford to live here. Do you know how much these places cost to maintain each year? Probably only Sister Dantong on this bus can afford it!"
"We’re not going to Mr. Zhang’s house, are we? You can’t exactly rent a place like this..."
"Doesn’t Mr. Zhang live in a large flat by the Qiantang River? But then again, Mr. Zhang couldn’t possibly just have one property!"
The girls’ laughter and chatter echoed faintly along the roadway.
Most people knew the venue had been changed last minute, but no one was sure whose house this was. Among the reliable guesses, everyone assumed it belonged to Zhang Shihao...
The property services here were what they envied most. For example, at this moment, there was a Green City Property staff member stationed at intervals to direct the cars where to go.
This thoughtful service made it hard for them to imagine how comfortable the property management services would be if they actually lived here...
Soon, under the guidance of the property staff, the cars parked along the roadside in sequence, and in the semi-open courtyard, they could already see the outline of a large Suzhou-style residence.
"Wow, it’s a Chinese courtyard I love, there must be a pond inside!"
"I’ve seen a video about this kind of house before. It seems to cost several small goals..."
"Well, that’s it, even Sister Dantong might not afford it."
While the internet celebrities chatted, they also followed the rules: waiting until the stars from the cars ahead got off, then following them orderly into the courtyard.
Upon reaching the courtyard, the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in the garage made some people feel a sense of familiarity. Just as they were amazed, Xiao An, who had been waiting on the steps, descended with a smile.
She had been temporarily recruited by Zhou Wang to help out, arriving an hour earlier, and now she was serving as a greeter.
"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Taoyuan Misty Rain Village No. 9, the venue for Wuyou’s After Party. I am Mr. Zhou’s personal housekeeper, Xiao An. Mr. Zhou is still getting changed, please feel free to walk around wherever there are lights. If you need anything, you can call the staff in the house, or find me directly..."
Xiao An was well-versed in handling such matters, bowing with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou’s place?"
"Whoa, so this is Mr. Zhou’s house..."
Whispers and exclamations appeared on many faces.
Led by Liu Genghong and Wu Kequn, everyone thanked her politely and walked down the carpeted front yard, with the internet celebrities following suit.
"My goodness, Suisui, you’ve really made it big. This is Zhou Wang’s house, which means it’s also yours. Ah, whatever, you have to invite me to stay for a few days in the future..."
Shi Yi clung to Hua Suisui’s arm, shouting.
"You’re killing me, hurry up and go!"
Seeing the envious and jealous gazes around, Hua Suisui shyly covered Shi Yi’s mouth and pushed her inside.
But in her heart, an unusual feeling inevitably arose.
Amongst countless internet celebrities in Wuyou Media, when had she ever been the center of attention at a private gathering? Even just now, Lin Dantong had smiled at her amicably and even made way for her...
...
Twenty more minutes later, after taking a quick shower and changing into casual clothes, Zhou Wang finally arrived at the entrance of the residence.
The internet celebrity influencers who had arrived earlier were not of equal standing with him, so there was no need for him to greet them personally. Having Xiao An do so was sufficient. But for the guests arriving next, in their private vehicles, Zhou Wang needed to show his role as the host.
