Although the individual cannot directly decide on the Hermes "global brand ambassador" endorsement, there is no doubt that they can play a significant role in this matter.
Recently, Miss Li’s main public relations target to help Miss Gu vie for the endorsement is this Mrs. Kelly.
Unfortunately, the results have not been very good so far. Miss Li only had a cup of coffee with Lin Xiaoxiao, the assistant, and hasn’t even met the main person...
She never expected Mrs. Kelly to appear here.
No, it’s not just Mrs. Kelly. As her gaze swept over, Miss Li’s breath suddenly became rapid.
Dean Tucker, the Senior President of LV Greater China, Seth Elliott, the Asia General Manager of Brioni, Jean-Christophe Babin, the CEO of Bulgari, and even Zou Bilan, the Huaxia President of Patek Philippe, whom most people may not recognize...
Why would these heads of top luxury brands in Huaxia gather here?
Because of Zhou Wang?
Although Miss Li couldn’t figure it out, it didn’t stop her from being wildly excited. Even if she could use this opportunity to establish a good friendship with any one of them, today’s trip would be worthwhile.
...
"Ladies and gentlemen, please feel free."
After entering the banquet hall, Zhou Wang greeted a group of Huaxia presidents of top luxury brands with a smile in English, then raised the champagne in his hand.
"Zhou, don’t worry, we won’t be polite. Don’t bother caring about us."
The presidents, who are distinguished guests wherever they go, waved repeatedly at this moment, expressing that Zhou Wang didn’t need to specially entertain them and let Zhou Wang be at ease.
Zhou Wang indeed didn’t have much time, as the likes of the Chanel president and the Bulgari CEO were invited by him shamelessly; Zhou Wang hadn’t sent them invitations.
Most of the guests present today were Zhou Wang’s accumulated connections in Beidou over recent times. Except for avoiding some uncontrollable trouble by not inviting Ding Yi and Xia Xiwei, everyone else was here. He needed to use this opportunity to foster good relations with everyone.
Xu Lingyue followed behind with a tray, Jiang Qingkui was responsible for pouring wine for Zhou Wang. Zhou Wang raised his champagne and greeted around the banquet hall.
"Director Zhou, the celebration that day was the most spectacular party I have seen since I was young. I wonder which master was behind it... What, you were the chief director? I didn’t even notice..."
"Mr. Wang, I heard that the building is preparing to set up a second dedicated elevator for us, how could we just accept that... By the way, I’ve already instructed Finance to open an account at Citic, and about that special loan you mentioned last time, I’ll chat with you about it later!"
"Miss Bai, let’s not add WeChat, mainly because I don’t have enough willpower and I’m afraid I can’t control myself... Ah, you’re single? Well, what are we waiting for, shall I scan you or you scan me?"
Saying different things to different people, after months of growth and interactions with various kinds of people, the young man has shed most of his inexperience, becoming increasingly smooth and at ease in such settings.
Following behind, Jiang Qingkui subtly glanced at Xu Lingyue beside her, whose cheeks were flushed and eyes contained admiration, and couldn’t help but shake her head...
These young girls are really easy to fool.
However, she had to admit, this side of Zhou Wang, showing a maturity beyond his years, was indeed quite charming.
Everyone resists societal niceties, yet everyone fails to escape them.
Just when Jiang Qingkui unconsciously started to feel a bit fascinated, seeing Miss Gu stand up and openly link arms with Zhou Wang, her gaze turned cold again.
Although Zhou Wang was trying hard to avoid being too intimate with Miss Gu, she could keenly sense that this wasn’t their first interaction.
One must know Miss Gu is wearing a low-cut gown, by sticking close to Zhou Wang it would be taking advantage of Zhou Wang unreservedly.
She didn’t believe any woman, no matter how carefree, could be so oblivious about such matters that might affect her reputation.
So one Miss Yang wasn’t enough, now he’s attracting another Miss Gu?
Jiang Qingkui secretly gritted her teeth.
Every time she developed feelings because of Zhou Wang’s deep affection, he always managed to throw cold water on her...
Zhou Wang also realized Miss Gu was too close to him, and he sensed the vaguely threatening aura behind him, so he could only laugh dryly and, taking the opportunity of clinking glasses with Miss Li, quietly withdrew his arm.
"Mr. Zhou, you seem to have a good relationship with Mrs. Kelly. As far as I know, she rarely attends private business occasions..."
Miss Li, who proactively lifted her glass to clink with Zhou Wang’s, smiled, probing.
"Perhaps because I spend enough money at Hermes."
Zhou Wang wasn’t sure why Miss Li was probing about this, but he had a so-so impression of her, so he replied ambiguously.
Big client?
Miss Li pondered for a moment upon hearing this. Although the reason seemed a bit far-fetched, it was also the most logical explanation.
"Then Mr. Zhou, can you introduce me? I’ve long admired Miss Kelly..."
"Oh?"
Zhou Wang said with a half-smile, "I don’t think it’s necessary. With Miss Li’s always strong social status, meeting anyone should be easy, right? Why would you need my introduction?"
Hearing Zhou Wang emphasize the words "strong," Miss Li knew Zhou Wang was sarcastically referring to her from their previous conversation. She felt annoyed but was unwilling to show weakness in front of Zhou Wang, and her smile became forced.
"Mr. Zhou, my being here today could be seen as a gesture of goodwill, so why are you being so aggressive?"
"So should I be thanking you for giving me face? I, Zhou Wang, am not petty; I just dislike people who can’t recognize their place. To be honest, if it weren’t because I have some fondness for Miss Gu, what makes you think you deserve to stand here?"
"You..."
"Then Miss Gu, feel free,"
While Miss Li fumed, Zhou Wang chuckled and turned to leave.
What kind of person is this!
Determined, Miss Li quickly adjusted her expression, picked up her glass, and headed with Miss Gu toward where Miss Kelly and the others were.
Zhou Wang no longer paid attention to them, continuing to greet others along the way until he reached Qiu Zeyu and the others, finally catching a break.
They were all close friends, so there was no need to pretend. Zhou Wang put down the champagne that was making him nauseous, grabbed some juice from the table to rinse his mouth, then took the cigarette offered by Qiu Zeyu, lighting it with Tang Yiming’s lighter, and took a deep puff before comfortably exhaling.
But when he looked up, seeing that neither Qiu Zeyu nor Young Master Zhang seemed happy, Zhou Wang was puzzled.
"What’s up with you guys, did you drink fake wine? This is my territory..."
"Brother Dog, is there no movement from the Xue family yet?"
Qiu Zeyu had no mood for jokes and bluntly expressed his concern, "That seems abnormal. You’d better..."
Before Qiu Zeyu finished talking, Zhou Wang’s phone rang.
Seeing it was Huang Duming, who was welcoming guests downstairs, calling, Zhou Wang gestured to Qiu Zeyu and answered the call.
"...Who did you say? Alright, I know, no problem, let them come up."
When Zhou Wang hung up, Qiu Zeyu, sensing something, quickly asked, "Who is it, not Xue Mingyuan, right?"
"No, it’s someone else I didn’t expect... He said his name is Yan Lingchuan."
Zhou Wang shook his head, thoughtfully replying.
"Yan Lingchuan?"
Qiu Zeyu was stunned for a moment, then stood up in surprise, "What is he here for?"
In the circle, among the famous "Beidou Four Young Masters," even with a family status as supreme as Jiang Minghao’s, there were initially many who were unconvinced when he was included.
It was only after Jiang Minghao proved himself through Mingchuang Capital that he solidified his name.
Similarly, Qiu Zeyu had undergone this process, and as he matured, the voices of doubt gradually faded.
Xue Peng is even more controversial; to this day, many believe he is undeserving.
But among the four, there was one exception.
This person, whether in family background, connections, or personal abilities, was recognized as the best among the four, and from the beginning faced no disputes.
Everyone believed that he was the true bearer of the "Beidou Four Young Masters" title.
But later, finding the title too showy and against family expectations, his name was gradually replaced by playboy Sicong.
Yet, to the genuine Beidou second generation, he remained the No1.
This person... is now the unexpected guest Yan Lingchuan.
