Chapter 97: Chapter 92 I Do Have Some Stinking Money
“What’s with this weird habit?”
But Zhou Wang’s tone was so sincere, and his handsome face added to his credit. After all, it was hard for girls to imagine a good-looking guy like him doing anything sketchy on purpose.
“So you really weren’t recording a video just now?”
Hua Suisui looked intrigued, “But the way you wear that band looks so cool! If you change outfits, you could totally cosplay as Blind Monk, super handsome!”
With Hua Suisui’s remark, Shi Yi started to reevaluate Zhou Wang from a photographer’s perspective.
After a moment, she nodded instinctively.
...
“Suisui, stop it, seriously!”
Shi Yi’s eyes lit up, “Hey, dude, what do you do for a living?”
“Me? Just graduated from college, so I guess I’m in between jobs right now.”
Zhou Wang replied honestly.
Although he had acquired the stock, Zhou Wang hadn’t officially taken on his role, so it wasn’t inaccurate to say that. Besides, he wasn’t sure if being a “director” qualified as a legitimate job.
“Would you be interested in joining our company as a broadcaster?”
Shi Yi chuckled, “Since you know about Suisui, you must’ve heard of Wuyou Media. We’re the leading MCN company in the industry!”
“I know, I’m pretty familiar with it.” Zhou Wang smiled, “But forget about being a broadcaster. I’m not interested in becoming an internet celebrity.”
“Come on, think about it!”
Shi Yi persuaded, “With your looks and talent in sports, you’d easily go viral, and our industry’s potential is so high. It’d definitely be better than working a regular job!”
“But the 80/20 rule still applies, right? No, wait, considering the current short video trend, it’s more like the 90/10 rule.”
Zhou Wang chuckled, “And as far as I know, your contracts are quite demanding. If you don’t make it big, those years of youth would be wasted, and you might even have to pay out of pocket, right?”
After discovering the “Stock Exchange Certificate,” Zhou Wang had crammed related knowledge in the library. Although he wasn’t very experienced, he wasn’t a total newbie either.
“Wow, you know quite a bit. Did you sign with other companies before?”
Shi Yi sighed, “Contracts are inevitable. The company provides such a big platform, and you have to sacrifice a lot to become famous. Even newbies, let alone a major influencer like Suisui…”
“Shi Yi, it’s a bit chilly. Let’s go up and chat.”
At this time, Hua Suisui suddenly pulled Shi Yi.
“Alright.”
Shi Yi nodded and motioned for Zhou Wang to leave the pool with them.
Zhou Wang felt a bit regretful because, being the last to leave, Hua Suisui quickly wrapped herself in a towel before he could observe if her chest looked as big as it did in the video up close.
This girl appeared naive, seemingly easier to get along with than Shi Yi, but she wasn’t foolish at all.
Just now, she had naturally interrupted Shi Yi, making Zhou Wang feel that she was indeed something else.
Mainly because Hua Suisui’s youthful face was so deceptive, Zhou Wang remembered correctly that she was actually a few years older than him, already in her late twenties.
From a superficial standpoint, Hua Suisui didn’t differ much in person compared to her short videos. In fact, because of some unretouched flaws, she looked more uniquely beautiful.
There were countless examples of influencers not matching their online image, but Hua Suisui’s looks did justify her popularity.
After the three of them reached the lounge area, the manager who had been waiting nearby hurried over, “Mr. Zhou, is there anything you need?”
“Get us some drinks. Do you want hot or cold drinks?”
Zhou Wang smiled at the two bewildered girls, “Sorry about earlier. Let me have a chance to make it up to you.”
“I’ll have cold, Suisui wants hot.”
Since Zhou Wang spoke up, Shi Yi made the decision for Hua Suisui.
“Then one celestial aurora soda and two fennel hot milks… Does that work?”
Zhou Wang finally sought the opinions of the two girls.
Shi Yi and Hua Suisui both nodded instinctively.
“Alright, I’ll have the lounge bar prepare it and bring it over in a moment.”
After the manager left with a smile, Shi Yi leaned over to Hua Suisui and whispered.
“Suisui, you’ve seen a lot more, so tell me, what is ‘fennel hot milk’?”
“I don’t know either…”
Hua Suisui blinked, “I’ve been to many places, but I haven’t stayed in many five-star hotels!”
“Are you guys also staying at the Wanda?”
After they sat down, Zhou Wang asked.
“Yep, Suisui was invited to Ming City for an event, and the organizers booked the hotel.”
Normally, Shi Yi wouldn’t need to disclose such information to Zhou Wang, but after what just happened, she said it without much thought.
Hua Suisui’s dark eyes turned with curiosity, “Are you familiar with the manager here?”
This was also Shi Yi’s question. After all, when they arrived, the manager wasn’t exactly cold but just provided standard service, nothing like the warm reception Zhou Wang received.
They saw it clearly. That manager was definitely waiting at the entrance for Zhou Wang.
“Well, maybe it’s because I’m staying in the presidential suite.”
There was no reason to hide it, Zhou Wang stated the truth.
“No wonder you’re not interested in being an influencer, turns out you’re a man who was born in Rome.”
Shi Yi was taken aback for a moment before expressing her resignation.
Not to mention Hua Suisui, even to Shi Yi, staying in a presidential suite meant Zhou Wang wasn’t from her world at all.
Hua Suisui, on the other hand, wasn’t too surprised, as she had already guessed a bit. Plus, just staying one night in the presidential suite was something she could afford, although she didn’t want to spend the money.
“I’m not exactly a trust-fund baby, but I guess I do have a bit of cash.”
Zhou Wang waved it off.
Zhou Wang’s remark amused them, and the two girls laughed. Hua Suisui asked, “So you’re not from Ming City either?”
“Halfway, my hometown isn’t here, but I’ve settled here.”
“Then why are you staying in a hotel?” Hua Suisui asked, puzzled.
“My house is being renovated, so there’s nowhere to stay. I had no choice but to stay in a hotel.”
The system’s provision for receiving the property was tomorrow, so indeed, tomorrow was when Zhou Wang would leave the Wanda Hotel.
Staying in a five-star hotel’s presidential suite because of home renovations?
The two girls exchanged glances. It sounded logical, though something felt off.
“Huh?”
Shi Yi suddenly noticed something amiss, “But if your house is being renovated, it can’t just take one day, right?”
“I never said I only stayed for one day.”
Zhou Wang gave a faint smile, glancing at the date on his phone, “To be precise, today should be the seventeenth day.”
