The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 121: Chapter 111: Secure a Good Grip

The rebuilt Ming City International Airport was massive. How massive was it?

Even some self-proclaimed experienced travelers tried to time their arrival at the boarding gate, only to end up cursing because they missed the flight—

“Is this a terminal or a space station?”

‘Ming City Airport punishes every last-minute arriver.’

That was a joke on the internet.

In reality, though, the farthest satellite terminal gates even required a metro ride halfway through…

After parking his car in the underground lot, Zhou Wang thought about Liu Zixi still having two girls with him, so he didn’t stay in the car. Instead, he went to the entrance to the terminal from the parking lot and sent a picture over.

Zhou Wang arrived almost at the last minute, but luckily, it seemed Liu Zixi’s flight wasn’t delayed. Liu Zixi quickly replied with a “coming soon.”

Zhou Wang smoked a cigarette while waiting, and after a while, he heard a familiar shout:

“Zhou Wang!”

Huh?

The moment Zhou Wang heard the formal address, his first reaction was that something was off.

Because Liu Zixi had a personality that seemed steady but was actually quite lively, especially in front of friends, he was more relaxed.

Normally, even with girls present, given their relationship, he would most likely call him by his nickname “Brother Dog.” Such formality only meant that he was trying to keep his composure—

There must be someone among these two girls he really cared about!

Zhou Wang turned his head and quickly looked past Liu Zixi walking in front, towards the two girls walking side by side behind him.

Both were around 170 cm tall, slim, eye-catching in a crowd, and walked with a relaxed yet proper demeanor… Uh, that’s redundant.

After all, they were from a formal aviation academy’s flight attendant department; they had to be above the baseline in terms of posture.

The girl on the left had her hair in a ponytail, with fair skin, jeans, and a white shirt, giving off a sort of delicate and virtuous feel.

The girl on the right wore heavier makeup, with defined features, a slim waist, straight legs, and a perky behind wrapped in a dark, chic suit dress, stockings, and heels, giving off a slightly sexy vibe.

Both girls were quite attractive, each with their own style. However, just one look, Zhou Wang determined that Liu Zixi’s type was definitely the one on the left…

No other reason, just because “A father knows his son best.”

Actually, most guys at this age preferred something purer; after all, the benefits of someone sultry are only appreciated with more experience.

But Zhou Wang was different… he liked them all.

As for descriptions of Liu Zixi’s looks, those were skipped.

As they approached, Liu Zixi paused for a moment.

It had been months since they last met, and Zhou Wang had changed dramatically.

His outfit was one thing, but the real change was the aura radiating from his very bones.

Wealth not only intimidates, but it also nurtures.

Liu Zixi’s most direct impression at that moment was that Zhou Wang now exuded an inexplicable and very obvious confidence.

He remembered comforting Zhou Wang, who was a bit disheartened before graduation when they last met during winter break… The little pub they were in was playing “Anhe Bridge” then.

The two girls were also a bit astonished.

On their way there, Liu Zixi had mentioned a friend coming to pick them up, and Xie Yuying had asked what kind of friend. Liu Zixi had said,

“My buddy from junior high, Zhou Wang, a very good friend. I mentioned him before, but maybe you forgot.”

Then Xie Yuying had jokingly said, “I kind of remember, is he handsome? Introduce him to our Yiyi. She’s eager for a passionate romance!”

“He’s okay, a bit less handsome than me.”

Liu Zixi had half-joked.

“He should have just graduated college too?” Xie Yuying asked again.

“Yeah, he’s a top student from Caiyun University, a bona fide scholar. Back in school, we used to copy his homework…”

Then Cheng Yiyi, the other girl, shook her head with a giggle, “Hey, don’t matchmake recklessly. My old man said if I dare date someone from another province, he’ll break my legs!”

“True, you can’t handle any spice. Marrying into Ming City would be torture for you!”

Xie Yuying naturally moved on from the topic.

Knowing Cheng Yiyi well, she was just joking around—

Since Zhou Wang was Liu Zixi’s buddy, it meant he was also from Jing City. Cheng Yiyi wouldn’t even consider someone from such a small city, let alone a Ming City person.

Another thing was… if a guy’s only boast was his academic achievements, it usually meant there weren’t other advantages to mention.

Nowadays, even a bachelor’s degree from a prestigious university can’t really be called an advantage.

Like sincerity, it’s a card that doesn’t stand alone; only when combined with other advantages does it add a bit of flair.

But now, upon suddenly meeting Zhou Wang in person, perhaps because they had no psychological expectations, the two girls were… quite impressed.

This boy, subconsciously labeled as a “bookworm,” had quite the flair!

Moreover, girls are more sensitive to fashion. At a glance, they could tell that Zhou Wang’s outfit was worth at least 50 to 100 thousand.

As for Liu Zixi, he just kept staring at Zhou Wang’s AJs…

Holy crap, Brother Dog really hit the big time, wearing shoes that cost over ten thousand!

“Xi-ge, aren’t you going to introduce us?”

Seeing Liu Zixi just gawking at him, Zhou Wang raised his eyebrows at him.

Liu Zixi came to his senses, hurriedly coughed lightly, then went over to hug Zhou Wang, “My buddy from way back, Zhou Wang!”

Then Liu Zixi introduced the two girls in turn, “Xie Yuying, from Mountain City, Cheng Yiyi, from Yangcheng in Guang Province… They’re both from our school’s flight attendant department but a step ahead. They’ve already passed the campus recruitment and been interning at the company for a while.”

“Wow, all from big cities, huh? I was wondering, even if they’re flight attendants, not everyone can have such top-notch presence, right?”

Zhou Wang smiled and waved at the two, “I’m Zhou Wang, nice to meet you both.”

“Hello, I’m quite surprised, you know. Liu Zixi never told me he had such a handsome friend.”

Xie Yuying smiled with pursed lips, giving Liu Zixi a side glance.

This wasn’t “almost” as handsome as him; Zhou Wang was clearly way more handsome!

“Hello, Cheng Yiyi.”

In contrast to Xie Yuying, the more daringly dressed Cheng Yiyi was more reserved, only giving a simple greeting.

“Let’s talk while we walk, the car’s upfront.”

Zhou Wang called out, walking ahead with Liu Zixi to lead the way.

“You’re chasing Xie Yuying?”

Turning around, Zhou Wang asked in a low voice.

“You figured it out?”

Liu Zixi was surprised at first but didn’t deny it, “Yeah, been chasing for a while now…”

“Got it!”

Zhou Wang gestured.

Zhou Wang understood from Liu Zixi’s serious tone that he needed to watch his words and actions.

As a friend, you might not be the most competent wingman… since most people aren’t naturally good at it, but at the very least, you shouldn’t mess things up.

Zhou Wang’s parking spot wasn’t far, so they quickly arrived. He extended a hand to Liu Zixi, “Let me take the suitcase, I’ll help you with it.”

The two girls only carried bags, leaving Liu Zixi as the only one dragging a suitcase.

When Zhou Wang stopped, Liu Zixi instinctively looked around.

In that small area, there were only two cars that looked new: a Mercedes G-Class without plates and a hybrid Toyota Corolla, parked side by side. From the color, it seemed…

“Brother Dog, what were you thinking? This sky blue isn’t enduring, only looks good in official ads.”

Since he was also considering buying a car, Liu Zixi had been looking at plenty. He commented instinctively.

Zhou Wang knew Liu Zixi was mistaken but just patted him on the shoulder and whispered, “Bro, hold on tight.”

“?”

As Liu Zixi was feeling puzzled, Zhou Wang had already taken out the keys and gently pressed them.

With the orange lights flashing, the side mirrors of the Mercedes-Benz G63 slowly unfolded under Liu Zixi’s stunned gaze.

“You bought a new car? Damn!”

Liu Zixi first let out an inarticulate exclamation, then remembered Zhou Wang’s reminder and shut his mouth quickly.

After all, there were two girls standing nearby…

But Liu Zixi found it hard to manage his facial expression, his facial features slightly twisted as he looked at Zhou Wang, his face full of questions.

Having grown up together to some extent, always eating at each other’s homes at least once, they were genuinely well-acquainted. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Liu Zixi wouldn’t have dared to believe it.

Zhou Wang had bought a Mercedes G-Class?!

Had he not known Zhou Wang wasn’t that kind of person, Liu Zixi would have suspected Zhou Wang rented the car to show off…

But even a rental couldn’t be an unregistered new model…

In contrast, the two girls seemed to react more normally. It was just that their playful chatter fell silent, their eyes unconsciously drawn to the dashing body lines of the G-Class.

“Hop in.”

Zhou Wang helped Liu Zixi stow his luggage, opened the car door, and called out.

Liu Zixi got in the front passenger seat, while the two girls sat in the back.

Once inside, Liu Zixi glanced around at the black and gray luxurious interior and couldn’t resist asking, “Brother Dog, is this G63… the top trim?”

“Yeah.”

“Top trim costs 3 million, right?”

“With markup, it’s closer to 3.5 million.”

Zhou Wang replied with a smile as he started the vehicle.

Upon hearing Zhou Wang’s answer, the two girls, who only had a vague idea of the cost, reacted much more strongly.
