The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 98: Chapter 93: The Sorrowful Dimpled Sister

“You said… you stayed for seventeen days?”

Shi Yi’s eyes widened, looking somewhat cute, “Seventeen days in the presidential suite?”

Hua Suisui stared at Zhou Wang, not blinking.

“Yeah.” Zhou Wang nodded, “The renovation took that long, there was no choice.”

“Oh my gosh!”

Before Shi Yi could say anything, Hua Suisui exclaimed.

...

Realizing it, she quickly covered her mouth, looking at Zhou Wang innocently, mumbled through her fingers, “It wasn’t me, you heard wrong.”

A girl from Chuanyu?

Zhou Wang chuckled at Hua Suisui’s failed attempt to cover up.

He hadn’t paid attention to where she was from before, but that “oh my gosh” instantly gave her away.

“Seventeen days, wouldn’t that cost millions?”

Shi Yi seemed stunned.

“The presidential suite in Ming City shouldn’t be that expensive, but definitely hundreds of thousands, right, right?”

After saying that, Hua Suisui looked at Zhou Wang for confirmation.

“About right.”

“Wow, if it weren’t in Hang City, that could buy a small apartment, right?”

After she got over her amazement, Shi Yi sighed, “Honestly, I was just trying to persuade you not to slack off even if you have some money… I was wrong.”

Someone who casually throws out hundreds of thousands to stay in a hotel can’t just have “a bit of money.”

“It’s not that exaggerated, you guys can afford it too.” Zhou Wang laughed.

“I definitely can’t, as for Suisui…”

“I certainly can’t afford it either!”

Hua Suisui waved her fair hand, “My income isn’t as high as you think.”

“You’ve got almost eight million followers, right? You should be making quite a bit, at least a top influencer, right?”

Talking about this, Zhou Wang was genuinely interested, since some things aren’t in the books, and he hadn’t seen Wuyou Media’s financial reports yet. He was really curious about the income composition of influencers.

Besides, Hua Suisui was reluctantly counted as one of his “employees.”

By reason and sentiment, he should care about her from various aspects, maybe even get to know her more deeply if possible.

“If you’re talking about the nominal income, yes… but that’s the income for the ‘Hua Suisui’ account, it doesn’t mean it’s all mine!”

Hua Suisui ticked off her fingers, “The income from the account first goes to taxes, then you have to deduct team costs, photography, lighting, editing, makeup…”

“The remaining money? The company takes half of it, did you think the other half would all be mine? Not at all!”

“If it’s live stream revenue, the guild takes half, and the operations team takes a part too…”

Hua Suisui concluded with a pitiful gesture.

“It’s like cutting a cake, slice here, slice there, gone, all gone!”

Shi Yi beside her nodded quickly in agreement.

“Yeah, Suisui has it tough, signed a five-year long contract, and because of the company’s positioning, we barely take any ads, just rely on promoting songs to get by…”

Listening to these girls gripe in turn, Zhou Wang suddenly found it amusing.

He recalled when they were by the pool, Shi Yi initially mentioned Hua Suisui’s contract issue, only to be interrupted by Hua Suisui.

But now, Hua Suisui brought up the topic herself and talked to Zhou Wang about it in detail.

Perhaps these aren’t really industry secrets, but the change in Hua Suisui’s attitude was interesting.

Still, Zhou Wang understood it.

People always try to seem strong in front of the weak and show weakness in front of the strong.

Once Hua Suisui realized Zhou Wang’s status was far above hers, she didn’t mind showing a bit of weakness.

“By the way, I don’t even know your name yet?”

At this moment, Hua Suisui propped her chin and asked Zhou Wang.

“My name’s Zhou Wang.”

“Zhou Wang… that’s pretty easy to remember.”

Hua Suisui smiled a bit shyly, “But I’m not good with memory, I might forget in the future.”

“Why don’t you guys just add each other on WeChat?”

It wasn’t Zhou Wang who said this, but Shi Yi said it instinctively.

“Oh yeah, let’s add each other on WeChat. So if I have the chance to come back to Ming City, I can hang out with you~”

Hua Suisui took out her phone.

Zhou Wang just smiled and nodded, scanning Hua Suisui’s QR code.

After adding her on WeChat, Zhou Wang took a glance. Though he couldn’t see much, as the nickname and avatar seemed normal, his intuition told him—

This was probably Hua Suisui’s work account.

Who knows if it would really be Hua Suisui chatting with him in the future…

However, even so, considering Hua Suisui’s number of followers, wanting to get her WeChat ID probably would require at least ten Carnivals, maybe even more.

Plus, you’d have to get in early because, with an increase in business invitations, it seemed she wasn’t live streaming as much anymore.

As the drinks were served, the three chatted for a while longer.

Having a liked influencer become a reality was enough to put Zhou Wang in a good mood.

Mainly because girls with dimples are really sweet when they smile.

Although Zhou Wang knew that wasn’t the true nature of a Chuanyu girl—

Until Shi Yi’s phone rang, she glanced at the caller and quickly answered, “Hello, Sister Lin!”

“Yeah, yeah… Suisui and I are taking some footage… Oh, do we really have to have this meal… alright, but will there definitely be a venue for filming… that place looked amazing in the video I saw before, it’s Ming City Center, sure to go viral… it won’t pale to Sister Dantong’s episode…”

“Alright, Suisui and I will go change our clothes and head over.”

After hanging up, Shi Yi turned to Hua Suisui, “Your agent’s calling, a personal dinner, let’s go!”

“Do I have to?” Hua Suisui pouted, looking reluctant.

“Just treat it as work!”

Shi Yi pulled Hua Suisui up, and the two bid farewell to Zhou Wang, with Hua Suisui turning back to smile at him after a few steps.

“Zhou Wang, see you later!”

“Bye-bye.”

Zhou Wang waved goodbye to the two girls with a smile. After they left, he checked the time and decided it was about time to freshen up and head back to his room.

…

While waiting for Su Yajing for dinner, Zhou Wang took out his phone and called Jiang Mo on a video call.

He had been quite busy recently, so it had been a while since he last video-chatted with her.

But voice messages and texts had been constant.

Given the pages and pages of chat history between him and Jiang Mo, it would probably trend on Weibo if shared…

The video rang for a while before it connected. On the other end, Jiang Mo, wearing a white shirt with a khaki windbreaker, appeared a bit breathless, slightly ruining her cool demeanor. It seemed she had hidden somewhere to answer the call.

Zhou Wang’s mouth curled into a smile.

“Senior, did you miss me?”
