The "Golden Magic Ball" again?
Zhou Wang stared blankly at the system prompt, but compared to the reward he easily received, he rather liked the system’s proverb—
"A flower that has not yet bloomed has a thousand ways to open."
Of course, Zhou Wang didn’t see himself as a saint. Rationally speaking, it was probably because Xu Lingyue’s attraction to him hadn’t reached the point where he needed to sacrifice his morals...
Plus, there was a bit of history between them, so Zhou Wang was willing to show some goodwill.
Look at Ji Xiaoxi, he felt differently about her.
But that was based on Zhou Wang’s belief that being with him was far happier than being with Chen He.
It wasn’t desecration, it was salvation...
Thinking about it made Zhou Wang chuckle again. In that case, he really was a good person after all.
Since he didn’t have any immediate needs, Zhou Wang wasn’t in a hurry to open the [Golden Magic Ball]. He still had several items in his inventory, like [Caroline’s Silk Stockings] and [Wang Ruixi’s Cigarette Box], that he hadn’t used yet.
After pressing the elevator button, Zhou Wang quickly arrived on the first floor and happened to meet Huang Duming, who was waiting in the lobby.
"Mr. Zhou, your car keys..."
Taking the car keys without a second thought and noticing Huang Duming giving him an extra glance, Zhou Wang paused, "What’s up?"
"Oh, nothing, Mr. Zhou. I just wanted to confirm, when we handle the property registration tomorrow, should I contact Miss Qi directly?"
"Alright then, Mr. Zhou, take care."
After walking a short distance out, Zhou Wang shook his head thoughtfully.
Judging from before, Xu Lingyue and Huang Duming clearly knew each other. He estimated that when Xu Lingyue ran out earlier, Huang Duming might have seen something, but no need to doubt...
If Huang Duming had dared to mention Xu Lingyue earlier, there was no way Zhou Wang would have continued employing him.
Luckily, this kid was somewhat smart and managed to correct his attitude in time... He asked that one obvious question, showing that his mind was certainly on something else at the time.
Wandering over to the entrance of 101 in Building 1, outside the courtyard gate, stood Qiu Zeyu, dressed in a casual suit, looking half as handsome as Zhou Wang, already waiting there.
At Zhou Wang’s shout, Qiu Zeyu, who had been looking around, turned around in surprise.
"Mr. Zhou? How did you come from this direction?"
Qiu Zeyu was a bit bewildered, it seemed like Zhou Wang had walked out of the building...
"When I came over, I found this community pretty nice, so I just bought a house, completed the paperwork, and came straight down from upstairs."
Qiu Zeyu paused, then burst out laughing, "Mr. Zhou, you’re quite the jokester... But I do know a few property owners; they own more than one house. If you’re really interested in buying here, I can introduce you."
Seeing that Qiu Zeyu didn’t believe him, Zhou Wang could only shrug. There’s nothing you can do when no one believes you even when you’re telling the truth these days.
"Let’s go in first... I originally thought you wouldn’t arrive until after nine. Now it seems we might be the earliest after the homeowner."
Qiu Zeyu invited Zhou Wang to the door and rang the doorbell. Follow current novels on novel·fıre·net
According to general etiquette, distinguished guests arrive late, not just as a show of prestige but also to give the host extra preparation time.
Qiu Zeyu usually followed this rule, but upon learning Zhou Wang wanted to come early, he had to rush out.
"Whose house is this?"
"A girl who’s quite good friends within our circle... Don’t give me that look, she really is just a friend, and she’s quite familiar with Xixi too."
Qiu Zeyu said irritably, and Zhou Wang chuckled, just about to make a joke when the door opened, revealing a girl over 1.7 meters tall with a slender waist and long legs.
She wore a high-end Chanel lace dress. It was somewhat plain, but the pair of long legs in crystal high heels more than compensated.
Those proportions easily rivaled Jiang Qingkui and Jiang Mo’s.
Seeing the two, the sweet-looking girl first smiled at Qiu Zeyu, then turned to Zhou Wang with a twinkle in her eye.
"Hello, hello, Zhou Wang, nice to meet you, I’m Zhou Zihan... We share a surname, isn’t it a coincidence?"
"It is quite a coincidence, nice to meet you."
Zhou Wang hadn’t expected the homeowner to be so warm to him. Surprised, he couldn’t help but smile back.
"How much of a coincidence?"
Before Zhou Wang could respond, Zhou Zihan giggled, "Just kidding, come in, come in, I must tell you, I follow your short video account..."
Zhou Zihan reached out to take Zhou Wang’s hand and led him inside, leaving Zhou Wang to look back at Qiu Zeyu.
But Qiu Zeyu just shrugged helplessly, "Don’t look at me, Zihan’s always been this way. Though it’s true she’s been following you for a while. In fact, it was her idea to have the party at her place..."
Hearing this, Zhou Wang stopped trying to withdraw and fortunately, Zhou Zihan had some restraint, letting go of his hand after a few steps.
"Hehe, for this party, I even had the lawn specially trimmed today, isn’t it pretty..."
As they walked around, Zhou Zihan introduced her home to the two, "I’ve redecorated the living room, upstairs, and downstairs... I even hired people from the club to serve you on the second floor. Although I’ve hired very pretty maids, everyone else is off-limits. Brother Yu, you’re not allowed to lead Zhou Wang astray!"
