Chapter 913: Chapter 345: Mysterious Folder_2
“Damn it, bodyguard bro, where the hell are you…”
This was the longest interaction he’d had since using the [Resume].
What happened today made Zhou Wang feel a sense of crisis for the first time. As his social circle kept expanding upward, the opponents he’d deal with might also grow stronger, highlighting the importance of personal safety even more.
There were some defensive items in the System Store, like the temporary item [Ramos’s Heart Guard] he exchanged for tonight with twenty thousand Reputation Value points, which roughly served to offset the fatal part when Zhou Wang suffered physical harm.
But items like these had all sorts of limitations, only for emergencies. Moreover, no way could Zhou Wang keep relying on exchanging items to save his own skin, right?
As a chosen overachiever, he shouldn’t be this pathetic.
After smoking another cigarette, feeling weary, Zhou Wang got up and went upstairs to the second floor intending to sleep. However, upon entering the bedroom, he couldn’t help but pause when he saw the scattered pieces of paper on the large bed.
He went over, picked it up, and saw a string of numbers written in lipstick on the paper, along with two crooked little words: “Add me.”
Zhou Wang realized it was left for him by Miss Gu. He smiled, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it on the ground.
Washing up, changing into pajamas, lying down on the big bed, Zhou Wang only managed to doze off for a moment before suddenly throwing off the quilt with a grimace.
Damn it, how long was Miss Gu lying on this bed? The whole place was filled with a lingering scent, damn seductive.
Mainly, Zhou Wang kept recalling the scene of Miss Gu spreading her legs, and he had to admit, regardless of Miss Gu’s personality, with that top-tier appearance, in a different situation Zhou Wang wasn’t sure he’d be able to control himself…
Thinking about it, Zhou Wang moved to the edge of the bed again, reached for the paper on the ground, and added Miss Gu’s WeChat using the phone number.
There’s plenty of time ahead.
What if?
…
On the other side, wearing sunglasses and a scarf, tall and elegant Miss Gu briskly exited the Beidou No.1 Courtyard neighborhood.
After wandering the quiet street for a while, it wasn’t long before a Mercedes business van with a Beidou license plate drove up from the end of the street, slowly stopping beside Miss Gu.
“Sister Bingbing…”
The electric door opened, and Miss Li, also wearing sunglasses, appeared in sight, nodding towards Miss Gu.
“Get in the car first, we’ll talk.”
After Miss Gu sat in the back seat, the van started up again, and only then did Miss Li look Miss Gu over.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine… Zhou Wang didn’t make things difficult for me.”
“Hmph, as if he would dare!”
Recalling Zhou Wang’s agitated voice on the phone, Miss Li couldn’t help but snort coldly.
“Sister Bingbing, actually… actually, I think he’s quite nice. You guys should be able to be friends…”
Miss Gu spoke hesitantly at this point.
Miss Li was taken aback, incredulously glancing at Miss Gu, “No way, Nana, don’t tell me you’re at it again. You only met Zhou Wang once, and you were even there to… How can love even be in the picture?”
“No, we’re not familiar yet, it’s just I feel there’s no need for Sister Bingbing to view him as an enemy. Didn’t you say that Xueren Group had no good intentions either…”
“Enough, these aren’t things you should worry about. With your brain, can you straighten all this out?”
Miss Li glanced at Miss Gu, annoyed, “As for Zhou Wang, though our talk wasn’t pleasant, we’re currently not in each other’s way. It’s too early to call us enemies.”
“That’s good then.”
Miss Gu heard this and inexplicably felt a little happy.
Looking at Miss Gu, Miss Li couldn’t help but add, “But don’t blame your sister for not warning you, from what I hear, Zhou Wang is no good guy. He’s risen too fast at such a young age, who knows what kind of trouble he might bring. It’s best for you not to have further contact with him…”
“Hmm, I know.”
Miss Gu nodded while her eyes lit up, quickly accepting the friend request Zhou Wang sent her on WeChat.
Seeing Miss Gu’s obedient demeanor, Miss Li thought for a moment and sighed, “I’m sorry, Nana, for putting you through this tonight. This kind of thing shouldn’t have happened to you.”
“It’s okay, Sister Bingbing, I understand. To gain something, you must give something in return. Everyone goes through this, and I don’t feel wronged.”
Miss Gu quickly shook her head.
“A few years ago, due to certain events, I owed the Xue family a favor. Regardless of today’s outcome, you’ve done what you needed to do. This favor is considered repaid, and the rest has nothing to do with us.”
Miss Li spoke seriously at this point, “Nana, rest assured, I won’t forget what I promised you. The company will try its best to secure the global Hermes brand ambassador endorsement for you…”
“Thank you, Sister Bingbing!”
Upon hearing this, Miss Gu was instantly delighted.
“But don’t get excited too soon. As a leader in luxury brands, securing this Hermes endorsement isn’t so easy, and you know well the kind of people you’re up against.”
Miss Li shook her head, “Even if the company is willing to spend a lot of resources, the chances of success aren’t high…”
“I know, Sister Bingbing, I’m already very grateful that the company is fighting for this for me. It won’t matter even if it doesn’t work out.”
Miss Gu, of course, knew obtaining this endorsement wasn’t easy.
It’s Hermes, after all…
Even Miss Di, who’s currently at the height of her fame, would struggle to get the title of “global brand ambassador” from a luxury giant like Hermes.
