"Mmm... How did I fall asleep..."
On the rooftop, Su Yajing was woken up by the commotion caused by Li Danni coming up. She groggily opened her eyes, only to find herself curled up in Zhou Wang’s arms, truly having fallen asleep at some point.
"If you want to sleep, go ahead and nap for a bit, it’s okay."
Zhou Wang chuckled as he spoke.
He quite enjoyed moments like this, with beautiful scenery and a gentle breeze, holding a girl and spacing out, wasn’t that a kind of fun too?
Of course, the premise was that the girl had to smell nice and be soft and cuddly...
Ding!
At this time, after a two-hour interval, Zhou Wang also heard the system notification.
[Reality interaction completed.]
[Ownership transfer contract signed, Host successfully acquired 90% equity of "Ming City Lishui Yunquan Hotel Co., Ltd." and ownership of "Ming City Lishui Yunquan Hotel."]
Huh?
Why only 90% equity?
Zhou Wang took another careful look at the contract attached to the system, and immediately understood.
It turned out that when the Lishui Yunquan Hotel company was established, the Yunan Province Normal University, which it relied on, also contributed to 10% of the shares with the leasehold rights of the land. This was also the key to significantly reducing the construction costs during the early days of the Lishui Yunquan Hotel.
Since the term hadn’t expired yet, Zhou Wang still had to share some of the profits with Yunan Province Normal University.
However, Zhou Wang thought about it and realized it wasn’t a bad thing. Rather, a deep collaboration with Yunan Province Normal University could bring many intangible benefits.
So, Zhou Wang didn’t plan to change anything about this partnership.
"No, I can’t sleep."
Su Yajing wrinkled her nose and made an effort to wake up.
"Why?"
"If I sleep, I’ll have bad breath, and then you won’t want to kiss me anymore."
"..."
Listening to Su Yajing’s playful explanation, Zhou Wang was speechless.
What could he say?
He could only marvel at Su Yajing’s unique perspective, who would think like that?
Su Yajing giggled, leaned in to kiss Zhou Wang, and then asked,
"Was it Danni, the senior who came up just now, asking us to go down?"
Just as Zhou Wang was about to respond, another commotion was heard at the far end of the staircase. Initially, it was urgent, but it quickly softened, seemingly wary of disturbing anyone.
Then, to the surprise of both, a head cautiously peeked up from the stairway.
"Whoa, Brother Dog, it’s really you?"
"Old Ruan?"
Zhou Wang, upon seeing who it was, was momentarily stunned, but quickly connected the dots and felt at ease.
Turns out the cousin Chen Hao mentioned was none other than Old Ruan!
Zhou Wang really didn’t think about it before. After all, there were many tourism businesses in Ming City, and there wasn’t just Xinghui International managed by the Ruan family. What a coincidence.
"Am I interrupting?"
Even though his face was full of surprise, Old Ruan didn’t come over immediately.
Since it was Old Ruan, Zhou Wang definitely couldn’t remain lying down. Su Yajing, having met Old Ruan before, also quickly and considerately got up to enable Zhou Wang to rise.
"What nonsense are you spouting, between us, there’s no such thing as ’interruption’!"
Zhou Wang walked over and hugged Old Ruan, who approached him eagerly.
In reality, they weren’t that close; at least compared to Young Master Zhang, they were less familiar. However, Zhou Wang was grateful for the convenience Old Ruan had provided during his trip to Li City, and for helping out when Zhou Wang’s parents were traveling in Europe.
A different travel company might not have offered such detailed and attentive service.
Just yesterday, Zhou Wang had a video call with his mom. Although she constantly said she missed Zhou Wang and couldn’t get used to the food and lodging abroad, Zhao Guifen hung up quickly, saying they were about to head out to see the aurora...
Zhou Wang knew his mom was genuinely excited.
Naturally, this made Zhou Wang feel even more grateful to Old Ruan.
There’s no need to delve into what Old Ruan specifically did; traveling was about having fun, and as long as his family was happy, that was enough.
"Hahaha, Brother Dog, I couldn’t believe it when I heard your name downstairs, and it really is you!"
Ruan Jinghong was also extremely pleased, holding onto Zhou Wang’s arm and saying repeatedly, "A few days ago, Young Master Zhang said you went to Hang City. It wasn’t the best time to contact you, and I was thinking of calling to arrange a meal. Looks like that won’t be necessary now..."
As Old Ruan spoke, Zhou Wang glanced over and saw Li Danni, her boyfriend Chen Hao, and Zhang Ruifeng standing at the turn of the stairs, looking completely bewildered.
Chen Hao even appeared a bit at a loss, seemingly unsure if he should come over and say something.
Upon seeing his cousin and Zhou Wang hugging, a string of question marks floated through Chen Hao’s mind, along with Li Danni’s and Zhang Ruifeng’s...
Zhang Ruifeng: [Why is your cousin so familiar with this Zhou Wang?]
Chen Hao: [I have no idea, seriously.]
Li Danni: [Your cousin seems to know Yajing too, what is happening, I’m so confused.]
All of this was communicated through their exchanged glances, which was quite strange. With just a look, they were able to accurately grasp each other’s thoughts.
At this point, after Old Ruan had exchanged polite greetings with Su Yajing, Zhou Wang laughed and said, "Let’s not stand here, let’s head down. After all, it’s Senior Su Yajing’s birthday. What’s the point of chatting up here?"
