The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1185: Chapter 448: Reward Cashed In

”Mr. Zhou, the Miao Village development plan has been successfully approved. Yesterday, I met with Young Master Zhang and Mr. Tang, along with the leaders of the relevant local departments. They expressed their strong support for the project and promised to provide all possible conveniences...”

In the multi-person voice call on the phone, Jiang Qingkui’s clear and melodious voice kept coming through. Zhou Wang lay on the sofa with his eyes narrowed, occasionally sipping his iced Coke, looking relaxed.

The clouds outside the window were still rolling, but as time passed, they gradually thinned under the sunlight, revealing the skyscrapers below.

While Jiang Qingkui was reporting on the work, Zhou Wang noticed a small detail.

Among the people around him, Jiang Qingkui preferred to call him ”Mr. Zhou” rather than ”boss.”

Zhou Wang had never paid attention to this issue before, but thinking about it now, he suspected it might be related to Jiang Qingkui’s subconscious mindset. Perhaps... she didn’t want to solidify this kind of relationship with him?

”...Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou?”

”What?”

Zhou Wang snapped back to reality, hurriedly clearing his throat to explain before Jiang Qingkui got angry: ”I was just wondering if these leaders might just be all talk and won’t actually provide substantial support. After all, the funds we need to invest later are quite substantial, and the pressure is quite high...”

Initially, when Miao Ying’s wish activated the Magic Lamp, the system granted Zhou Wang a special construction fund of 80 million. Zhou Wang’s original plan was to invest only this 80 million since the investment-to-return ratio was 1:1, ensuring he wouldn’t lose money.

But then, driven by a moment of clarity, Zhou Wang decided to go all out, and now the estimated initial phase investment is expected to exceed one billion.

Despite the involvement of Yalong Real Estate, Young Master Zhang, and Tang Yiming, who shared the financial burden with Zhou Wang, he still needed to come up with over 200 million himself.

For Zhou Wang, who was tight on cash flow, this was no small amount. So, asking such a question seemed reasonable from Jiang Qingkui’s perspective... although Zhou Wang knew that with the system-provided ”Business Plan” as a foundation, the chances of loss were almost zero.

Jiang Qingkui forgot about pursuing Zhou Wang’s earlier absent-mindedness and explained, ”They shouldn’t be, because in the initial contacts, they did give some quite tangible commitments... In Guizhou’s various counties, competition is equally intense, and they worry that we might ultimately choose another Miao Village.”

”Hmm... Oh, right, Qianqian, how’s the charity event coming along?”

Zhou Wang remembered something and inquired about Xu Wenqian, who had been silent on the call for a while.

”Boss, the approval process is completed, and the event is planned for mid-November...”

”Mid-November?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wang immediately frowned. It’s only late October, and there are at least two weeks until mid-November. He immediately vetoed, ”That’s too long, speed it up, and try to get it done by early November.”

”But boss, the preparatory work for such a major event is very complicated...”

Xu Wenqian hesitated.

”Outsource what can be outsourced, hire people where needed, use money to save some time.”

”Ah, but...”

”Qianqian, I know you’ve always been meticulous about everything to help me save costs, but this time, listen to me... time might be more important to me this time.”

Zhou Wang interrupted Xu Wenqian, speaking decisively.

Xu Wenqian had no choice but to comply, while the bystander Jiang Qingkui sensed a hint and asked, ”Mr. Zhou, is there something urgent you need to do?”

Zhou Wang didn’t know how to respond and could only vaguely say after a brief silence, ”Maybe, let’s talk about it later...”

What preoccupied him, naturally, was the impending ”fourth action round” that was already counting down.

The charity event was a significant matter planned long ago, and Zhou Wang couldn’t miss it, so his idea was to immediately focus on completing the fourth action round once the event was over.

...Perhaps due to this mindset, Zhou Wang’s recent urge to indulge couldn’t be suppressed. For instance, last night, for the best experience, he set up a reward mechanism for Li Nuoyi and Bai Feifei to speed up their awakening.

Seeing that Zhou Wang was unwilling to discuss further, Jiang Qingkui also stopped pursuing it, while Xu Wenqian said:

”Boss, there are still matters needing your decision, one is the guest list, and the other is the venue for the event. As for the venue, my suggestion is to host it at the Bulgari Hotel, given your excellent relationship with the Bulgari Hotel, they should provide the utmost support...”

”I’ll draft a guest list for you later, and make sure no one on that list is missed. As for whether any additional people need to be invited, you and Qingkui can discuss it.”

Zhou Wang thought for a moment and said, ”As for the venue, there’s no rush. I might have a better option, but I’ll need to wait...”

After discussing the Miao Village and charity event affairs, the call wasn’t over yet. Seizing the rare opportunity when Zhou Wang was willing to hold a morning meeting with them, Jiang Qingkui and Xu Wenqian were eager to report all the accumulated issues to Zhou Wang at once.

A potential buyer has shown interest in some of Linlan International’s office building floors, which is something Jiang Qingkui can’t decide by herself. Only Zhou Wang can make that decision...

Wuyou Media has several major events at the end of the year, all invitations came personally from Uncle Zhang, and at least Zhou Wang needs to attend the annual meeting to finalize the schedule with him...
