Chapter 143: Chapter 119 Current Situation of Art Students’ Career Choices_2
Zhou Wang finally remembered that this Brother Ruan ran a travel company when he heard the other party speak. He curiously asked,
“Going abroad? Where to?”
To be honest, Zhou Wang had never traveled abroad, and if it weren’t for the system’s arrival, who knows if he would ever have the chance to see foreign scenery in his lifetime.
Therefore, this topic genuinely piqued his interest.
“Southeast Asia… The itinerary starts in An Nan, then goes to Thailand, and finally Singapore, a total of three stops, ending back in the country. The entire trip will last about half a month.”
“Why go to An Nan first?”
Given Ming City’s geographical location, traveling to Southeast Asia was indeed very convenient. However, Zhou Wang didn’t quite understand; wasn’t it usually a direct trip to Singapore and Malaysia?
An Nan was said to be quite poor, and it didn’t seem like there was much fun to be had!
“Ahem, because An Nan has Ho Chi Minh City, which is an unavoidable first stop for a dark tourism customized tour.”
Brother Ruan lowered his voice a bit.
“What is dark tourism?”
Zhou Wang looked completely bewildered.
“As the name implies, it’s a trip that a travel agency wouldn’t offer on paper, you know… Trust me, the girls in Southeast Asia won’t disappoint you!”
“…Do you guys play around like that?”
Zhou Wang roughly understood what Brother Ruan meant. Mm, it was about experiencing a different kind of charm in Southeast Asia…
“It’s not just Southeast Asia. I can arrange similar routes for Korea, Japan, and even domestically, like in Hai Province, but too many people go there, and it’s lost some of its appeal.”
Brother Ruan laughed and said, “I provide benefits for my brothers, personally organized to be much more exciting than the usual routes. You don’t have to worry about safety; we basically have two of these trips every year, with top-notch private security services throughout. The places we visit are carefully selected, with basic security assurance.”
“Ahem, it’s not the safety I’m worried about.”
Although tempted, Zhou Wang thought for a moment and still said, “Let me think about it, and I’ll get back to you.”
“OK, there’s still time, no rush.”
Brother Ruan walked away with a laugh, and Zhou Wang “tsk”ed, feeling as if he had seen a door slightly ajar again.
Dark tourism… sounded interesting.
But in half a month, wouldn’t the challenge for his kidneys be too severe?
As a round of toasts concluded, everyone began eating, and the atmosphere remained joyful.
Except for a few people who were silent.
Brother Ruan toasted a glass of wine with Zhou Wang and returned, glanced at the still-sitting Brother Tu, and after some thought, asked, “Little Tu, the host today, aren’t you going to at least offer a toast?”
“So what if he’s treating us to a meal? I’m not here for his sake.”
No one was paying attention to them at the moment, so Brother Tu spoke without reservation, merely sneering, “Don’t tell me you guys really think that this guy with the last name Zhou is anything special?”
“Forget about Young Master Zhang; we all know how he got to know him. But Ding Yi’s unusual attitude towards him doesn’t tell you something?”
Brother Ruan thought Brother Tu was a bit obsessed and tried to persuade him.
“He’s just got good looks. One’s pretending, and the other’s superficial; what does that prove?”
However, Brother Ruan’s mention of Ding Yi made Tu feel even worse, and he couldn’t help but mock Ding Yi too.
Realizing his mistake, Brother Ruan stopped talking. After all, Tu couldn’t even get her WeChat, and he just overheard some girls gossiping, Zhou Wang and Ding Yi… had walked back holding hands.
Brother Ruan shook his head, knowing it wasn’t his place to explain.
After all, guys like Tu, who had a somewhat poor appearance and no additional charisma, roughly equated to having no dating experience.
In his mind, as long as you throw money at a woman, she’d obediently come to you, and if she didn’t, it must be because there wasn’t enough money.
This viewpoint isn’t wrong, but let’s just say that if you understand the human mind better, money combined with it will be truly unstoppable, whereas only throwing money around can seem a bit low…
Beyond a certain social circle, it tends to lose its appeal.
“He’s even thinking of buying this club; what a joke. Who does he think he is? The owner has been running it for years, and the value of the connections he holds is immense. There’s no way he’d sell it to him.”
Brother Ruan did not reply since he knew Brother Tu would never reconcile with Zhou Wang.
For a moment, he wondered whether to remove Tu from the tour list if Zhou Wang decided to go…
But to be fair, what Brother Tu said had some truth. Even if Zhou Wang really had the money, acquiring this club was unrealistic.
Of course, everyone knew it was a joke, and no one was serious about it except Tu.
Elsewhere, after three rounds of drinks, Zhou Wang was reminiscing about university days with Ding Yi when he suddenly heard a system notification.
[Real-world interaction successful]
[The lawyer representative entrusted by the system has successfully signed a contract with the original owner of the ‘Dianwang Club.’ The entire ownership will be transferred within 24 hours]
Zhou Wang glanced at the time. Only two hours had passed, and the system was indeed efficient.
Although the final procedures would need completion during daytime business hours, the contract was signed, and he was already the de facto new owner of this top-tier club.
For a moment, the way Zhou Wang looked around changed a bit.
