The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1193: Chapter 452: The ”Wang” Everybody Expects

The young man who poked his head in hesitated for a moment upon seeing the scene inside, then showed surprise.

He turned around, waved his hand, said something to someone, and then pushed the door to walk in, half closing the office door behind him.

”Xiao An, turns out you’re here?”

As Zhou Wang examined the people in the room, he asked with a smile, ”I didn’t see you just now. If Sister Ran hadn’t pointed it out, I might have walked right past you.”

”I’m sorry, Mr. Zhou. I should have told Sister Ran in advance, but something unexpected happened...”

Xiao An didn’t expect Zhou Wang to appear suddenly. After a sigh of relief, she hurriedly explained with an embarrassed look.

Honestly, Xiao An least wanted Zhou Wang to see her like this now... or rather, she didn’t want Zhou Wang to see Du Huai’an.

This mindset was somewhat similar to the former Xu Wenqian’s; she feared Zhou Wang would misunderstand and realize she’s actually a ”married woman,” leading him to dislike her even more.

She had just agreed to let Du Huai’an resolve the matter by giving money, possibly influenced subconsciously by these thoughts.

Mr. Zhou?

Upon hearing Xiao An’s address, everyone in the room was somewhat puzzled, unable to decipher Zhou Wang’s identity.

Only Du Huai’an frowned, feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Zhou Wang, yet certain he didn’t know the man. It was really strange...

Director Wang, however, glanced nervously behind Zhou Wang after he entered, relieved upon realizing no one else followed, and the hallway remained quiet.

Before Zhou Wang could speak, Director Wang quickly asked, ”May I ask who you are... Sorry, we’re working here; could you please leave?”

Since Zhou Wang was with the inspection team, Director Wang was cautious and rather polite in his words.

”Working?”

Zhou Wang, unable to grasp the situation, glanced at Xiao An upon hearing this.

”Just assisting with Xingxing’s—my daughter’s—school enrollment. It’s not Sister Ran’s recommended teacher; it was... my ex-husband contacted Director Wang himself and paid twenty thousand—or rather, fifty thousand...”

Xiao An quickly explained in brief words.

”What nonsense are you talking about, twenty thousand, fifty thousand!”

Director Wang’s expression changed, and he promptly scolded.

Du Huai’an was still contemplating and hadn’t reacted yet, but Xiao An’s parents panicked when they noticed Director Wang was about to lose his temper.

Xiao An’s father opened his mouth to reprimand, ”Xiao Yun, shut up. You have no right to speak here!”

”Exactly, let the men handle things, you’re just a woman!”

Xiao An’s mother glared at her and reached out to pull her.

Zhou Wang squinted his eyes and asked confusedly, ”And these two are...”

”They’re my parents...”

Embarrassed, Xiao An explained, not daring to meet Zhou Wang’s eyes.

”Your parents? Biological?”

Zhou Wang was taken aback.

”What do you mean, Xiao Yun is obviously our biological daughter!”

Xiao An’s father immediately responded unhappily, ”But who are you, and what’s your relationship with our daughter?”

Zhou Wang said nothing for a moment, rubbing his forehead, processing the information he had received so quickly.

Through Xiao An’s brief words and interactions with the others, he finally managed to grasp the general sequence of events.

Zhou Wang noticed the room seemed noisy earlier, and Xiao An, visibly distressed with her daughter, appeared sorrowful. Not understanding the situation immediately, unwilling to cause Xiao An embarrassment, and with a large group behind him, Zhou Wang told Lin Ran to wait by the door, then entered alone.

He hadn’t expected such a ”farce” to be happening in the office of the educational administration.

Zhou Wang glanced at Xiao An sympathetically, raising a hand to stop her before she could speak.

Because at this moment, he had one last question to clarify.

”I heard you’re Director Wang. May I ask which department are you director of?”

Zhou Wang looked at Director Wang.

”What’s it to you?”

Director Wang became cautious again.

”Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Xiao An’s boss, and she’s working for me. Originally, I contacted Teacher Luo for her daughter’s enrollment, but it was delayed due to the inspection. Unexpectedly, her ex-husband also contacted you; I thought it was quite coincidental, so I wanted to get acquainted...”

Zhou Wang remained calm and smiled lightly.

”You know Teacher Luo? Luo Leifeng?”

Upon hearing Zhou Wang’s answer, Director Wang, who mentally filled in the blanks, finally relaxed, though his expression not as amiable, became more reserved.

”So you’re associated with Old Luo, huh. Yes, there was a major shareholder inspection today; he, as an outstanding teacher representative, was indeed unavailable... I’m Wang Lin of the educational administration. You can inquire with Old Luo later; he’ll know who I am.”

Listening nearby, Du Huai’an felt something was amiss, but he was more focused on Zhou Wang revealing his identity as An Xiaoyun’s new boss.

Though Zhou Wang’s age might not seem significant, since he appeared with the shareholder inspection team and possessed a familiar aura, Du Huai’an harbored some concerns.
