"?"
Zhang Zhiyuan was stunned.
What do you mean by "just buying a plane"?
Qiu Zeyu’s mouth twitched, and even with his level of experience, he didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
This topic was just too niche. For other things, whether buying watches, cars, or houses, he could discuss it in detail, even if industry insiders might not be able to keep up with him.
But buying a plane?
If the person saying this wasn’t Zhou Wang, Qiu Zeyu would have probably slapped him with a big fist, saying, "Are you kidding?"
Others were even more speechless, but perhaps they were used to Zhou Wang’s occasional outbursts, so although their expressions were odd, they managed to keep straight faces while mentally ranting furiously.
"Buying it here?"
After a long pause, Qiu Zeyu finally asked dryly.
"Yes, I’ve asked the people from the General Aviation Company to come over. They will prepare everything."
Zhou Wang nodded, "Let’s go inside and eat first."
Only then did Qiu Zeyu’s gaze turn to the people behind Zhou Wang, with a questioning look, "And these few..."
"Oh, almost forgot, wait a moment."
Zhou Wang, as if remembering something, turned to look at Yue Junnan, who had been standing still and didn’t know what to do with his hands and feet.
He walked over with a smile and patted Yue Junnan on the shoulder. As the latter flinched subconsciously, Zhou Wang whispered:
"If you dare harass Ji Xiaoxi again, I’ll send you to live with Xue Mingyuan..."
Seeing the still-dazed Yue Junnan, Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow, "Didn’t hear me clearly?"
"Ah, yes, I heard..."
Yue Junnan snapped back to reality, nodding repeatedly, then glanced back at Qiu Zeyu and the others who were looking at him inexplicably, and quickly, with clumsy hands, took out his phone and deleted all of Ji Xiaoxi’s contact information in front of Zhou Wang.
As if to prove something, Yue Junnan also deleted all contacts related to Ji Xiaoxi, including Cheng Xueqing and Ji Xiaoxi’s parents.
His hurried actions, along with the sweat on his forehead and his slightly pale face, made him look quite embarrassed.
When he was done, and showed a sheepish smile, Zhou Wang shook his head and said softly, "Get lost."
Yue Junnan, as if granted amnesty, didn’t even have time to say goodbye to Cheng Xueqing and Li Fei, hurriedly ran off using the escalator instead of waiting for the elevator.
Only after Yue Junnan vanished did Zhou Wang pull Ji Xiaoxi over and turn to face Qiu Zeyu and the others.
"Ji Xiaoxi."
Zhou Wang didn’t introduce her further, just stated her name, but Qiu Zeyu and the others understood, smiling and greeting Ji Xiaoxi.
Ji Xiaoxi, who was holding hands with Zhou Wang, was in turmoil inside, but didn’t have the strength to shake off Zhou Wang, and could only respond with flushed cheeks to Qiu Zeyu and the others’ greetings.
"Let’s go, eat!"
To Zhou Wang, the issue with Yue Junnan was just a minor incident, but it did give him some insight into the external perspectives.
It seems that at least his name hasn’t entered the general public’s awareness, which is a good thing.
Another possibility is that the so-called inside story about the Xueren Group turmoil might just be a smokescreen deliberately released by Yan Lingchuan and others, as dramatic stories of aristocratic family feuds and marital disputes fit more into the public’s fantasy.
Ji Xiaoxi, instinctively following Zhou Wang for a few steps, suddenly remembered something, and whispered something to Zhou Wang, who nodded, then she turned and walked towards her still-confused cousin Cheng Xueqing and her fiancé Li Fei.
Zhou Wang didn’t wait but went ahead, chatting and laughing with Qiu Zeyu and the others into the restaurant.
"Sister Qing, will you be... joining us for dinner?"
Ji Xiaoxi asked hesitantly.
She knew the scene just now should have had quite an impact on her cousin, and she felt it might be better not to insist they stay for dinner. They’d probably feel more comfortable dining alone elsewhere than with Zhou Wang and his group.
However, she couldn’t say this directly, so she used a tentative tone instead.
After Zhou Wang and the others temporarily left, Cheng Xueqing and Li Fei finally released themselves from holding their breaths, and Cheng Xueqing’s mind started working again.
"Xixi, this Zhou Wang is really..."
She took Ji Xiaoxi’s hand, glanced back, then asked urgently in a low voice.
The scene earlier was beyond her understanding: a noble young master, a group of black-suited bodyguards, and the terrified Yue Junnan...
Although she didn’t know what the relationship between Qiu Zeyu and Zhou Wang was, Cheng Xueqing could at least see that those well-dressed young heirs all had a flattering attitude towards Zhou Wang...
This meant that her cousin’s stories were actually true.
Zhou Wang was indeed an impressive figure who didn’t need to boast.
At the very least, when he said he had booked the entire Furongli Restaurant, he really had...
As for Yue Junnan, who ran off scared, Cheng Xueqing no longer cared; she was now focused entirely on figuring out Zhou Wang’s identity.
"He should have a lot of business; I only know he’s one of the shareholders of our Wuyou Media, in other words... he’s my boss."
Ji Xiaoxi softly explained.
"The boss of Wuyou Media?"
It was quite amusing that although Zhou Wang held many identities, it was precisely this one that was easiest for Cheng Xueqing and Li Fei, as ordinary people, to understand.
