After saying a word to Zhou Zihan and Miss Yang, Zhou Wang got up and walked toward the second floor, but at the stairway, he bumped into Jiang Yisen.
What Zhou Wang found amusing was that Jiang Yisen clearly should have seen him for a while, but pretended not to notice until Zhou Wang was right in front of him, he cleared his throat and awkwardly said,
"Zhou Wang, you’re here..."
"Yisen, are you here specifically to welcome me?"
Zhou Wang laughed, even patting him on the shoulder.
"Bullshit, who do you think you are, why would I welcome you... I just feared you’d go the wrong way and wanted to remind you, the card room is the room to the left of the lounge, see yourself up."
Jiang Yisen reacted instantly, dodging Zhou Wang’s hand like he’d been shocked, cursed something after, then waved and went downstairs, his steps hurried as if he wanted to show how busy he was.
Zhou Wang saw this and couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking his head, he went upstairs on his own.
After Jiang Yisen walked a distance, he glanced back, saw Zhou Wang’s figure had disappeared at the staircase, he finally relaxed, muttered something, then decided to message Cui Yeqing from Feitian General Aviation.
"Old Cui, I ran into Zhou Wang, he’s at Beidou No.1 Courtyard, aren’t you looking for him..."
While messaging Cui Yeqing, a shout came from not far away.
Jiang Yisen raised an eyebrow, turned around to see, and then strode over.
"Damn it, Zhao Yan, who allowed you to call me that?"
In the face of Jiang Yisen’s glare, Zhao Yan felt a bit apprehensive and quickly smiled, stepping aside.
"Brother Peng is calling you..."
Only then did Jiang Yisen notice Xue Peng sitting on the sofa, he frowned.
"Mr. Xue, is there something you need?"
"Yisen, long time no see, have a few drinks first..."
Xue Peng said, signaling Xu Jing to scoot over.
Jiang Yisen waved his hand, "Mr. Xue, just say what you need, my brother is still waiting for me."
Seeing that Jiang Yisen seemed a little impatient, Xue Peng’s expression darkened for a moment.
He almost regretted coming to today’s party, damn it felt like everyone here ate gunpowder, showing him no respect...
The awkward thing was that the subject was Jiang Yisen, so he couldn’t lose his temper, he had to bear it, while signaling Zhao Yan to ask the questions.
Zhao Yan got the hint, promptly poured Jiang Yisen a glass of wine, clinked glasses with him, then smiled as he asked, "Little Jiang, I saw you saying hi to that Zhou on the stairs earlier, are you close?"
When the topic of Zhou Wang came up, Cheng Yiyi and the others nearby pricked up their ears.
Jiang Yisen reacted a bit, then realized he was talking about Zhou Wang, he frowned and said, "Why do you ask?"
"Just curious about him, brother Yisen, tell me!"
Zhao Yan seemed to have become smarter, quickly adjusted his address, which improved Jiang Yisen’s mood.
"Not that close, it’s just that I’ve dealt with him once before," he said coolly.
"I saw he patted your shoulder earlier, are you..."
"Get lost, as if he’d have the guts to pat my shoulder, you must have seen it wrong!"
Faced with Zhao Yan’s probing, Jiang Yisen’s voice rose as if his tail had been stepped on.
"Then who exactly is he..." Zhao Yan was momentarily confused.
"What can he be, just a nouveau riche from Yunan Province... uh, in short, it’s because my brother had some business with him, that’s why I spoke a few more words with him."
As Jiang Yisen spoke, remembering the six billion pre-stored amount for the General Aviation Company, his voice unconsciously lowered a bit.
"Jiang Minghao is collaborating with him?"
Xue Peng was taken aback, his eyes squinted.
"Collaborating my ass, who is my brother, how many people are qualified to collaborate with him?"
At the mention of Jiang Minghao, Jiang Yisen’s tone hardened, he said disdainfully, "If my brother talks to someone, it’s giving them support, it depends on whether Zhou Wang can grasp this opportunity..."
Hearing this, Xue Peng thought for a moment, still not quite reassured, he asked again.
"I see Zhou Wang and Zihan seem to be quite close too..."
"Zhou Zihan is just someone who loves good-looking guys, isn’t that normal... alright, I have to go up!"
Jiang Yisen impatiently said, then turned and left.
After Jiang Yisen left, Zhao Yan turned to Xue Peng for confirmation with his eyes, Xue Peng pondered briefly, then nodded slightly at Zhao Yan, whose expression changed several times, but finally, he gritted his teeth and nodded back.
The quick exchange between the two didn’t catch anyone’s attention, suddenly Zhao Yan loudly yelled.
"With the way we’re drinking, wouldn’t we drink till the cows come home... Come on, everyone, let’s play a game, Little Rui, Yiyi, you join us too!"

The large room decorated with murals, a round poker table that can accommodate up to nine players, bunnies in black stockings serving as dealers, cigar smoke swirling, clinking wine glasses, and the crisp sound of ceramic chips...
This isn’t Australia, just a room on the second floor specifically for card games and recreation.
"Surely we’re not gambling, if so I can’t play..."
Seeing the room’s scene, Zhou Wang immediately laughed and said.
"Of course not, it’s just for fun and competition... but Zihan has already discussed with Mr. Jiang, we can put up a small prize for the players with positive points."
Hearing Zhou Wang’s question, Qiu Zeyu directly laughed and said.
"Okay, if it’s just for fun, I can play a bit."
