Chen Hao said with a bitter smile.
Although he had a hedonistic side, he was at least clear-headed about these matters.
He didn’t need to investigate Zhou Wang’s background in detail; he just needed to know one thing...
Based on the unintentional tone revealed by his cousin, even Ruan Jinghong was very reluctant to offend Zhou Wang.
That was enough.
...
More than half an hour later, the meeting room door opened again. Zhou Wang stretched lazily and walked out, followed by a group of smiling executives from Lishe Cloud Spring Hotel.
The first meeting was just a preliminary introduction, so everyone was naturally cordial.
In fact, Zhou Wang’s main purpose was to help Su Yajing get acquainted with them so that she could easily integrate into the hotel’s management later.
Qu Feng was clearly a smart person; he caught the hints in Zhou Wang’s words and gave some response.
The discussion had more or less reached the end; getting Su Yajing familiar with the hotel business definitely required some planning.
Seeing Zhou Wang and others coming out, Ruan Jinghong and the others also stood up to greet them.
Zhou Wang first smiled at Li Danni and said, "Danni, I’m sorry, I have some things to attend to tonight, so if you don’t mind, Su Yajing and I will have to leave early. Happy birthday, may you have many more to come!"
"No, no, if you have things to do, go ahead..."
Normally, if any friend wanted to leave early, Li Danni would certainly try to guilt them into staying.
But facing Zhou Wang now, Li Danni felt it was good enough that she wasn’t stammering; how could she think of anything else?
Zhou Wang then looked at Chen Hao, who seemed to have something to say, and spoke first, "You’re Ruan’s cousin, so you’re not an outsider. No need to say much more, I’ll invite Ruan next time for a meal together."
"Ah, okay!"
Chen Hao quickly nodded, feeling relieved and also impressed.
Zhou Wang was impressive; even before Chen Hao could speak, Zhou had already anticipated his thoughts...
Ruan Jinghong also glanced gratefully at Zhou Wang, then smiled, "Brother Dog, just right, let’s leave together."
Zhou Wang then patted his forehead, "Speaking of that, it so happens, Ruan, if you have nothing else tonight, would you accompany me for dinner? I need some support, and I’ve invited Tang Yiming and others, not sure if they have time yet..."
Hearing Zhou Wang’s invitation, Ruan Jinghong was initially hesitant because he really had other things to attend to today. But after thinking for a while, he quickly nodded and smiled,
"Sure, I’m somewhat free today, so I’ll join you!"
...
Under the watchful gaze of Chen Hao and others, Zhou Wang, Su Yajing, Ruan Jinghong, and a group of hotel executives left the villa.
After they left, the atmosphere in the living room, which had been tense for a long time, finally returned to normal, and Li Danni’s classmates felt they could breathe easier.
Returning after seeing them off, Chen Hao was about to say something to Li Danni when a man in a business suit hurried back in.
Chen Hao wasn’t sure who the man was, but vaguely remembered seeing him among the group of executives, though he didn’t know his specific position.
The man walked straight to Li Danni and took out a gold card with the Lishe Cloud Spring logo, handing it over with both hands:
"Miss Li, this is from Mr. Zhou for you. He said he didn’t have time to prepare a gift, so this is a token of his regard."
Seeing Li Danni in a daze, the man explained with a smile:
"This is our hotel’s VIP membership card. With this card, all expenses in the hotel are 20% off, and... there’s already a hundred thousand pre-loaded on it."
"Ah!"
Exclamations erupted around them, and Li Danni came back to her senses, hastily waving her hand.
"No, no, it’s too valuable, I can’t accept it..."
"Yes, we can’t accept it. Manager, please tell Zhou Wang that we appreciate the gesture, but this card is too much."
Chen Hao quickly added.
"Mr. Zhou said that if Miss Li considers Miss Su and him as friends, she must accept the membership card."
The man smiled helplessly, "Please don’t make things difficult for me."
With that, while Li Danni and Chen Hao were still hesitating, the man placed the gold card on the table and left.
"Hey..."
Li Danni couldn’t stop him in time, could only watch as the manager-like man quickly left. She looked at Chen Hao, who scratched his head awkwardly.
"Forget it, Danni, just keep it for now. I’ll ask my cousin what to do..."
Seeing this, Li Danni reluctantly stored the gold card and couldn’t help but shout internally.
If he was this generous to his girlfriend’s friends, what about his girlfriend?
She didn’t dare to imagine...
She envied Su Yajing even more, ah!
At this moment, Zhang Ruifeng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up.
"Haozi, I’m leaving too."
"Huh? Ruifeng, you’re leaving too?"
Chen Hao was a bit taken aback.
"I have other matters in Yunan Province, didn’t I mention it before? Just asked my friend, and it seems his father is free today, so I’ll pay a visit."
Zhang Ruifeng sighed and forced a smile.
You didn’t say you would leave halfway before...
But Chen Hao roughly understood that his roommate felt embarrassed in front of Li Danni and her classmates, so he couldn’t stay any longer.
Being someone who’s used to being praised, staying here would only make him uncomfortable, so Chen Hao nodded, "Alright then."
Accompanied by Chen Hao, Zhang Ruifeng left the villa. After bidding goodbye to Chen Hao, Zhang Ruifeng let out a cold laugh, "Brother Dog? Ha..."
Shaking his head to dispel the irritation caused by Zhou Wang, Zhang Ruifeng took out his phone and made a call.
The call connected quickly, and Zhang Ruifeng put on a smile:
"Hello, Lu Chen? It’s me, Zhang Ruifeng... yes, like I mentioned before, I’m in Ming City now... so is your father available today? I’ll come to visit."
