Additionally, a girl like Yun Lan, just over nineteen, had a bit of a fantasy. What if Mr. Zhou really took a liking to her? Then she’d have it made...
However, since Yun Rou hadn’t spoken up, Yun Lan didn’t feel comfortable saying anything first.
"No worries, no rush, you can think it over. If you really have any ideas, just contact my butler."
Zhou Wang, with his eyes closed, seemed to sense Yun Rou’s hesitation and smiled as he spoke.
...
At half past one in the afternoon, Zhou Wang, feeling refreshed, changed into a custom Hermes suit. After tidying his hair, slicked back with some hair wax, he left the house with Chen Mei accompanying him.
Upon reaching the underground parking lot, Jiang Qingkui, dressed in a black business skirt, wearing frameless glasses with her hair tied up, was already waiting there with her bag.
Zhou Wang was momentarily stunned upon seeing her.
Her attire wasn’t much different from usual, except for the glasses, which gave off a shrewd vibe...
But her makeup clearly showed meticulous care, especially her full red lips, like a striking red in the wilderness, any... Zhou Wang meant any man would be instantly drawn in and instinctively swallow.
Jiang Qingkui used to wear makeup, usually a casual light touch, since her natural looks were exceptional. Even with minimal effort, she outshone ninety percent of the girls.
Today, however, with her meticulous makeup, she was like Thanos equipped with the Infinity Gauntlet’s six stones—
Nobody could match her.
Seeing Zhou Wang’s visibly faltering steps, Jiang Qingkui remained expressionless, but her lips slightly curled, feeling a small sense of pleasure.
Though she justified spending two hours on her makeup as necessary for the occasion, deep down, she knew that wasn’t the real reason...
Zhou Wang’s current expression was the actual reason for her makeup.
"Qingkui, you’re... quite formal today!"
As Zhou Wang got closer, he took another look at Jiang Qingkui and could only manage to say that.
"Mr. Zhou, today is your day to return to your alma mater. As your secretary, part of your image, naturally, I wouldn’t let you down."
Jiang Qingkui just smiled, and Zhou Wang could only give her a thumbs up.
At this moment, Miao Ying, whom Zhou Wang had just overlooked because Jiang Qingkui was too dazzling, walked over and asked, "Boss, which car are we taking today?"
Zhou Wang glanced up, pointed casually, "Let’s go with the G-Class."
He was considering whether he should get a Rolls-Royce in Ming City.
He suddenly realized that while he had many cars in his garage, none seemed suitable for relatively formal occasions.
But Rolls-Royces were too expensive, and he currently couldn’t quite afford one... Oh well, he decided to make do with the G-Class for now.
Seated in the back of the Mercedes G63, the vehicle slowly started and left the "Spring Eye" underground garage, heading towards Caiyun University.
Zhou Wang had just asked Jiang Qingkui, "Will we make it in time," when his phone rang.
Zhou Wang picked up the phone, slightly surprised, but quickly answered it.
"Hello, Brother B?"
"Hahaha, Brother Dog, long time no see!"
The call was from Zhou Wang’s university senior, Wang Qiaobin, known as Brother B, the young master of the Golden Palace and Jade Palace.
In fact, since the time at Dianwang Club, they hadn’t contacted each other for a long time. Even later gatherings with Zhang Zhiyuan and others, Wang Qiaobin hadn’t attended.
This involved a somewhat awkward issue that Zhou Wang realized later... That was, in Zhang Zhiyuan and others’ minds, they didn’t really see Wang Qiaobin as someone they could be friends with on an equal footing, marking a certain social divide.
It wasn’t obvious, but Zhou Wang felt it.
Although Zhou Wang didn’t mind, there was no need to force Wang Qiaobin to fit in, as it would just make things awkward for him.
"Why did you think of calling me? Did Yun Rou and Yun Lan complain to you?"
Zhou Wang laughed.
"Complain?"
Wang Qiaobin was a bit confused but then laughed, "I’m not sure what Brother Dog is talking about. My call has nothing to do with them, but even if you did ’bully’ them, it’d be their luck, right?"
"So, what’s this call about..."
Zhou Wang thought for a moment, realizing that even if Yun Rou and Yun Lan did say something to Wang Qiaobin, he probably wouldn’t call just for something trivial.
"Brother Dog, did Cai University’s distinguished alumni return event invite you today too?"
Wang Qiaobin suddenly lowered his voice slightly and asked.
"Yeah, I’m on the way, why, did you attend too?"
"That’s what I thought... Yes, I came over this morning, haha, Brother Dog, let’s chat when we meet later, it’s hard to explain over the phone."
Wang Qiaobin, confirming as his tone turned excited, laughed heartily.
After hanging up, Zhou Wang felt a bit puzzled, wondering what Brother B was up to!
However, he didn’t care much, looked at the bright sunshine outside, leaned to the side, and rested his head on a silky soft spot, closing his eyes slightly.
Holding a pen and reviewing a speech draft, Jiang Qingkui wasn’t prepared but gave Zhou Wang a helpless glance. Then, she slightly adjusted her skirt and continued reviewing the draft, letting Zhou Wang rest his head on her lap...
