The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 584: Chapter 242 His Name 2

That not-so-dainty but perfectly shaped foot just stopped mid-air, and then Jiang Qingkui fell silent.

When Zhou Wang looked over in confusion, Jiang Qingkui seemed to grit her teeth and spat out two words, ”Teach me.”

Only then did Zhou Wang realize, of course, it would be a miracle if she knew what to do.

After Zhou Wang offered some guidance, Jiang Qingkui instantly understood. She gave Zhou Wang one last look, and said resentfully, ”...This will be the last time.”

Zhou Wang nodded repeatedly, though inwardly he found it amusing.

She had said the same thing the first time he used her lap as a pillow.

But what happened afterward?

That’s why, even the smartest women like to deceive themselves...

...

”Nothing but jade will only harm you.”

In the morning, Zhou Wang, who had dozed off until after ten o’clock, glanced at the wall clock, shook his head, and struggled to sit up.

Indeed, it was somewhat harmful... once again, he had overslept.

On the messy bed, only Zhou Wang remained; Jiang Qingkui had left in the middle of the night.

Perhaps knowing that Chen Mei would tidy up Zhou Wang’s room, she even took her torn stockings with her, attempting to destroy the evidence.

Zhou Wang wasn’t really bothered. He put on a tank top, went out the door, and headed to the gym, greeted Miao Ying who was already exercising there, put on a blindfold, and began to replenish the missing essence from the night before.

At lunchtime, Zhou Wang finally learned from Chen Mei that Jiang Qingkui had gone to the Dianwang Club early in the morning to organize the new quarter’s marketing plan.

At that moment, a tiny bit of guilt stirred in the heart of the ’dog-man,’ so he quickly called Xu Wenqian to instruct her to add eighty thousand to Jiang Qingkui’s bonus this month.

Although Xu Wenqian was slightly surprised and had no clue what Sister Qingkui had done to make the boss so happy, she promptly noted it down anyway.

”Qianqian, running around Magic City all by yourself must be pretty tiring, right?”

Finally, Zhou Wang remembered to show some concern for his little assistant.

”I’m doing okay because I’m really busy every day, so I feel quite fulfilled. Plus, I have several college friends here who I’m quite close to; we occasionally meet up for dinner or something, so it’s not too boring...”

Feeling delightful at Zhou Wang’s concern, Xu Wenqian chuckled as she spoke.

”College friends? Are they men or women?”

”Of course, they’re women!”

Xu Wenqian quickly replied, ”How could I dare to hang out with other guys behind your back, boss...”

”So, what you mean is, you can do it right in front of me?”

Zhou Wang never worried about Xu Wenqian’s betrayal. After all, Xu Wenqian’s loyalty on the resume exceeded ninety points, already at the level of being ”devoted,” but he couldn’t resist teasing her a bit.

Speaking of which, Jiang Qingkui’s current loyalty score had risen to eighty-four after the small incident in Hang City and last night’s episode, so Zhou Wang was not concerned that Jiang Qingkui would really be mad about last night.

I must say, being able to constantly grasp other people’s mental states feels great...

”Of course not. Regardless of the situation, I would, I would...”

Believing Zhou Wang was genuinely upset, Xu Wenqian hastened to argue, though her voice weakened toward the end.

”Would what? Say it!”

Zhou Wang cocked an eyebrow.

”I would... always be yours.”

”Where at?”

”Everywhere...”

Unable to resist Zhou Wang’s insistence, Xu Wenqian finally muttered her reply timidly to Zhou Wang.

Realizing she was outdoors, Zhou Wang didn’t extend the topic any further. His masculine vanity satisfied, Zhou Wang hung up the phone and continued with his lunch.

Just a few minutes had passed when the phone rang again.

Zhou Wang glanced at the caller ID; it was Lin Ran calling.

He picked up.

”Hello, Sister Ran?”

”Mr. Zhou, I didn’t dare disturb your rest last night as it was quite late. I contacted Miss Jiang earlier and learned that you’ve woken up, so I’m calling now.”

”What’s up?”

”Mr. Zhou, the second video released last night exceeded expectations once again, with comments and shares skyrocketing...”

Lin Ran, a bit excited, reported the news to Zhou Wang.

The uptick in data was entirely within Zhou Wang’s expectations. He just chuckled in response, ”How about the prizes, are they all ready?”

”Yes, according to your request, Mr. Zhou, we’ve also prepared an exclusive selection of high-value collectible editions. Regarding procurement costs...”

”Don’t worry about the costs, no matter how much it takes, spend it!”

Zhou Wang thought Lin Ran was going to mention high operating costs, so he immediately interrupted.

”Mr. Zhou, what I wanted to tell you is that Youxia Technology Company contacted me proactively. Not only are they offering you discounts at internal pricing, but they’re also giving you ten extra collectible editions. Moreover, they’re planning to create a dedicated in-game benefit just for you...”

Upon Lin Ran’s explanation, Zhou Wang realized he had misunderstood.

On that note, expenses were significantly reduced, and Zhou Wang essentially obtained official endorsements to some extent, which could be considered an unconventional form of endorsement.

From a commercial perspective, it seemed like mutual exploitation, but at least in terms of this gaming venture, Zhou Wang was more than happy to support domestic production.

His initial intent for trying to develop games was also driven by the hope of one day creating a game with authentic Huaxia cultural roots that could become a global phenomenon like World of Warcraft.

...

Guang Province, Peng City.

At dusk, the setting sun cast a glow on this fast-paced super-tier city; scores of just-off-work salarymen crowded the city streets, showcasing the city’s vibrancy in their own way.
