That "instant industry" prompt had appeared once before, back when they were at the Dianwang Club.
According to the system’s explanation, not every industry would trigger this prompt, as it had to meet two basic conditions.
First, the industry’s value must be close to the upper limit of the Industry Acquisition Card, which for a Basic Industry Card, was roughly around a billion.
Second, the industry had to be in a unique period where it could be acquired, meaning the interaction time with reality after Zhou Wang used the tool would be very short.
Zhou Wang’s existing Basic Industry Acquisition Card came from the Perfect Fortune Bag he opened in Hang City. Besides the Industry Card, he also got three Basic resumes and one Basic treasure map.
As he already owned quite a few industries and hadn’t fully digested them, with two more waiting for inspection in Magic City, Zhou Wang wasn’t in a hurry. He was quite casual about it, but unexpectedly, the system gave him a prompt at this time...
Encountering an "instant industry" required some luck inevitably, since many seemingly good industries were either too low or too high in value, only "instant industry" could maximize the value of an Industry Card.
However, Zhou Wang lacked sufficient knowledge about this hotel, so he hesitated for a moment.
Although judging by the lobby, the hotel’s business shouldn’t be bad, Zhou Wang also noticed from the plaque at the entrance that it was a designated partner of several nearby universities, like the highly-ranked "Yunnan Normal University."
"No worries, let’s go."
Facing Su Yajing’s curious inquiry, Zhou Wang smiled as he returned to reality.
There was no rush, and since Su Yajing’s birthday party was here, it was a chance to observe more.
The hotel’s Chinese restaurant was on the second floor of the main building, not needing an elevator. Zhou Wang held Su Yajing’s hand, and they took the spiral escalator on the other side of the lobby, reaching the restaurant’s hall.
After explaining to the waitress who greeted them, the enthusiastic waitress guided them inside.
In the restaurant’s V08 private room, two men and one woman were sitting on the sofa in the lounge area waiting.
"Hmm hmm... Ah, you brought your boyfriend... Okay, sure, of course, you can... V08 room, don’t get it wrong!"
A woman and a man sat closely, with the stylish woman holding the man’s hand while on the phone.
After the call ended, the two guys originally playing on their phones both looked over.
"Dan Ni, did you say that your junior came with her boyfriend? Didn’t you say she didn’t have one?"
The guy leaning against Li Danni, her boyfriend Chen Hao, wearing a Givanchy T-shirt, Levis jeans, and an LV Cuban link bracelet on his wrist, asked with a frown.
Li Danni felt somewhat embarrassed under her boyfriend’s question and the curious glance from the other guy.
"She definitely didn’t have one before, Yajing wouldn’t lie to me, maybe they just got together recently... Ruifeng, I’m sorry, I haven’t had much contact with her these last two months, I really didn’t know Su Yajing started dating!"
Li Danni explained slightly, then quickly apologized to the other guy, her boyfriend’s university classmate, Zhang Ruifeng.
"It’s fine, whatever, I was just here in Yunnan Province for a business trip, won’t stay long, dating a local girl would just be for fun, not a big deal."
Dressed in a full set of new LV, Zhang Ruifeng waved it off nonchalantly.
"Ruifeng, I heard this junior of hers is at least faculty belle level, really not a big deal?"
Chen Hao teased with a grin, "With your skills, if you really put in some effort, even a boyfriend wouldn’t stop you, right?"
These days, faculty or campus belles don’t hold much weight!
Zhang Ruifeng sneered. Although the girl named Su Yajing looked nice in photos, experienced men knew well that if the girl was half as pretty in person as in the photos, she was already considered an "honest person" among girls...
"Watch what you say, you’re not allowed to bully Junior Ranran!"
Li Danni playfully chided, she could hear her boyfriend’s jokes contained some seriousness.
While they were chatting and laughing, the private room door was knocked by a waiter, and then the door was pushed open as a couple holding hands walked in together.
The three looked over simultaneously, momentarily stunned.
However, each was stunned for different reasons.
For Li Danni, she was first surprised by Su Yajing’s transformation.
Although she was familiar with Su Yajing, aside from working part-time together and attending large lectures, they rarely had any contact, and it had only been a little over two months since they last met. Su Yajing was still Su Yajing, but her aura had drastically changed.
As they say, clothes make the man. Su Yajing’s fashion sense was fine before, but it was mostly cheap stuff. For a sharp-eyed girl like Li Danni, it seemed you could see her cautious interior from the outside.
Yes, Li Danni always thought this junior had a bit of a people-pleaser personality, not just because of poverty, but surely other factors too...
Regardless of the reason, her impression of Su Yajing remained that of a junior who spoke sweetly but always maintained a cautious approach to people and things.
But at this moment, Su Yajing was not only dressed in Chanel with a Hermes bag but was also radiant, her eyes seemed to sparkle like BulingBuling, as if a dulled gem became dazzling beyond compare.
