"Sis, what exactly does Zhou Wang do?"
As they rode the Number Five private elevator specially reserved by Zhou Wang, under tight security and respectful guidance of the staff, heading to the top of the International Gold Center, Li Xiaoya, clearly startled by the spectacle, couldn’t help but pull her sister Li Xiaolei aside and ask softly.
"Didn’t I tell you before? He’s in business, and his business is quite big..."
Li Xiaolei replied, puzzled.
"But... but you didn’t say it was this big, did you?"
Li Xiaoya chuckled awkwardly, turned to see her husband Xiang Ming looking serene, not as cautious as when he first got into the elevator. She couldn’t help but lean closer, glancing at Zhou Dajun and his wife murmuring in the other corner of the elevator.
"Honey, didn’t you say you wanted to get acquainted with Old Zhou and his wife? Why haven’t you made a move?"
"Because after thinking it through, sothing still feels off."
"What’s off?"
Li Xiaoya asked, confused.
"Did you notice Zhou Wang’s age?"
Xiang Ming whispered analysis, "He looks barely twenty, but being able to afford such a customized Phantom, his fortune must be in billions. Look at Old Zhou and his wife’s deanor, they seem like ordinary people. Do you think that’s possible?"
"But that Rolls Royce can’t be fake, can it? And those celebrities, hosting a banquet in a place like this..."
Xiang Ming sneered, "You can rent a Rolls Royce, a few thousand a day, you can hire celebrities, and the appearance fee for so B-list celebrities is at most a few tens of thousands. I’ve been in contact with them before. As for arranging a banquet in an office building, that’s even easier, you just pay for it..."
"Is that so?"
Li Xiaoya exclaid in surprise, "But it would still cost a lot, wouldn’t it? What’s Zhou Wang up to?"
"That’s why you don’t understand."
Having seemingly figured it all out, Xiang Ming said in a low voice, "Didn’t you hear them saying earlier? It’s a charity gala... I ask you, what’s the purpose of a charity gala?"
"Donations?"
"Exactly."
Xiang Ming "hahed" with disdain, "So it’s actually a way to gather money. The people fooled into attending such a gala wouldn’t be of high status. I admit, this Zhou Wang kid has so brains, but for to brown-nose him? That’s not gonna happen..."
Listening to Xiang Ming’s analysis, Li Xiaoya looked enlightened, and before she could say anything, accompanied by a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the penthouse.
The elevator doors opened, and Zhou Wang, with a standard smile on his face, was already waiting here.
"Dad, Mom, I’ve missed you... Uncle Jiang, Aunt Li, how’s your health recently... You two must be Aunt Xiaoya and Uncle Xiang, hello, hello, welco, please co inside!"
Another round of standard pleasantries ensued, each person’s reaction differed.
For Zhou Dajun and Zhao Guihua, it had been a long ti since seeing their son, naturally, their hearts were filled with joy, especially Zhao Guihua, inexplicably finding Zhou Wang much more unfamiliar (actually due to his subtle increase in attractiveness), and couldn’t help but feel a wave of bittersweet emotions, almost dropping tears.
Originally, Jiang Jiaxing and Li Xiaolei would have also been happy to see Zhou Wang, but due to the earlier commotion caused by Xia Xiwei, both now felt a bit awkward. However, Director Jiang, being sensible, would certainly show Zhou Wang so face in such a setting, and wouldn’t let it show.
But Li Xiaolei wouldn’t care much about that, her expression was rely cold as she nodded at Zhou Wang, all her displeasure written across her face, almost telling Zhou Wang outright to figure it out himself!
As for Xiang Ming and Li Xiaoya, they were completely reserved, Xiang Ming was also fine; after finishing his analysis, he simply lost interest in Zhou Wang, with no intent to do anything.
But Li Xiaoya’s mindset was sowhat nuanced at this point.
Originally, she intended to flaunt a bit of superiority in front of her sister, but downstairs, she "mistakenly" believed Zhou Wang was genuinely capable, which made Li Xiaoya appear sowhat foolish. Now realizing it was a misunderstanding, her inner resentnt began surging again.
Therefore, Li Xiaoya couldn’t help but pinch her nose in discontent as soon as she exited the elevator.
"Zhou Wang, the fragrance you used in this elevator is quite pungent, you might want to change it..."
Listening to Li Xiaoya’s frowning critique and her casual use of his na, Zhou Wang looked puzzled.
He could sowhat guess why Li Xiaolei was upset, but who the heck are you?
Who are you showing attitude to?
Being a first eting and given his nominal seniority, Zhou Wang couldn’t get angry, so he pretended not to hear and led everyone inside.
At this mont, coincidentally, Lin Ran was also guiding a few guests who had just exited another elevator over to et them at the doorway, and upon seeing Zhou Wang, a few guests imdiately smiled.
"Mr. Zhou, nice to see you again. By the way, as I ntioned over the phone, I brought a few friends to support your event, hope it’s not an intrusion?"
The leading lady smiled charmingly, extending her neat hand to shake Zhou Wang’s, her gaze seemingly containing a hidden hook.
"This is a charity gala, of course, all are welco. Mr. Xu bringing friends to ’donate’ delights no end... Hahaha, gentlen, nice to et you, just joking, hope you don’t mind?"
