The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1260: Chapter 482: The First Shot (Part 2)

It turned out that from the other end of the road, a new convoy of vehicles arrived.

Black Mercedes-Benz business cars escorted at the front and rear, while in the center was a Rolls-Royce Phantom that seemed to merge with the night yet glimmered with a certain crystalline sheen.

The nearly six-meter-long car exuded an overwhelming presence, containing a certain dignity while moving, and at the moment it appeared, it firmly captured the crowd’s attention.

”Which celebrity is this again?”

The grand spectacle sparked various speculations within the crowd, further shocking them over what status the individual must hold to appear as the finale after all the other celebrities, even with a convoy escort.

At this time, the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the entrance of the International Gold Center, and from the business cars in front and behind, five or six bodyguards dressed in suits and sunglasses quickly got out, scattering around and assuming a vigilant stance.

Simultaneously, the celebrities waiting in the lobby moved directly to the entrance, clearly indicating that the owner of this Rolls-Royce Phantom was their awaited target.

This further stirred murmurs among the crowd, heightening everyone’s curiosity to the peak.

”That’s a customized Black Knight Phantom!”

Just then, Xiang Ming, who had been watching through the door with a somewhat indifferent attitude, uttered a low exclamation after closely examining the extended Rolls-Royce Phantom.

”Rolls-Royce can be customized?”

Beside him, Li Xiaoya was momentarily stunned and softly asked, ”How much would that cost?”

”I’m not sure, but at least twenty million...”

Xiang Ming thought for a moment and replied.

”Twenty million... there are quite a few wealthy people in Magic City.”

Li Xiaoya said enviously. Although Xiang Ming is said to have a net worth of nearly a hundred million, she was aware that it includes all fixed assets, and if debts to banks were deducted, there wouldn’t be much left.

... Anyway, their family wouldn’t be able to come up with twenty million in cash.

While they were whispering, a slender girl climbed out of the passenger seat of the Phantom, with her hair tied up high and dressed in a black customized suit. Though her face was covered by sunglasses, a heroic aura emanated, reminiscent of a ”female agent” in movies.

”Hey, Old Zhou, isn’t that the girl named Miao Ying who’s often seen next to Wangwang?”

In the moment the girl appeared, Zhou Wang’s mom, Zhao Guihua, was taken aback, quickly nudging Zhou Dajun beside her.

”Uh, it does seem to be that girl named Ying Tao.”

Zhou Dajun smacked his lips, then reacted, looking at Zhao Guihua in astonishment, ”Wouldn’t that mean the person in the car is...”

Just then, Miao Ying, who had walked down from the Phantom’s passenger seat, reached the rear of the car and opened the rear door.

Amidst countless gazes, a young man in a dark blue suit stepped out of the car, his upright posture accentuating his handsome and deep features, triggering countless exclamations.

”So handsome...”

”Hey, wait, I don’t recognize him, who is this, is there such a person in the entertainment industry?”

”I don’t recognize him either, just looks somewhat familiar...”

”It’s Zhou Wang, that’s Zhou Wang, can’t believe you don’t recognize him!”

”Who is Zhou Wang?”

”He has accounts on Douyin and Weibo, and millions of followers...”

”Wow, influencers have such grand setups too?”

”Nah, he’s not just an influencer, he’s a billionaire who rose from nothing, a shareholder at Wuyou Media!”

While not entirely accurate labels about Zhou Wang were being circulated among the fan crowd, the celebrities waiting at the entrance began to move.

Miss Xia stepped forward first, moving swiftly and accompanied by a wafting fragrance, she quickly reached Zhou Wang’s side.

Her shallow dimples bloomed with her brilliant smile as she directly linked arms with Zhou Wang’s side, her sweet voice gently floated into Zhou Wang’s ear:

”Finally, we’ve been waiting for you~ Uncle Zhou~”

Zhou Wang got goosebumps instantly, feeling the force from Xia Xiwei’s hand, he realized escaping her grip was impossible.

As soon as Xia Xiwei made the move, the fan group buzzed again, regardless of whether they recognized Zhou Wang or not, upon seeing Xia Xiwei’s affectionate posture with Zhou Wang, they were left dumbfounded.

It’s well-known that Xia Xiwei is famous for her ”straightforward and bold” nature, yet outside of film, she never stirred any CP rumors with male celebrities, and always attended events solo. Previously, there were even gossip rumors claiming something might be amiss with her orientation...

But now, in front of numerous cellphone cameras and the fans’ gaze, Xia Xiwei actively embraced a man’s arm and without any hesitation got up close with him, what does this signify?

The fans were going crazy, and Zhou Wang’s eyelids twitched.

Especially since he hadn’t even figured out the situation yet, and was met by several resentful gazes.

Upon lifting his head, Zhou Wang saw Miss Gu, Miss Yang, and Miss Bai...

Hey, wait, damn, Miss Gu and Miss Yang I can understand, but what’s up with that look, Miss Bai, we’ve only met once, others I won’t say, but the two of us are definitely innocent, right?

Zhou Wang realized he was somewhat caught off guard.

The general arrangement for tonight was that the banquet would start at seven o’clock, and the celebrities invited for the foundation’s promotion would arrive twenty minutes beforehand.

Of course, to ensure order at the venue and since they aren’t the main characters, these celebrities’ schedules were not widely publicized, only a handful of die-hard fans received advance news to wait at the main entrance.

The main element of promotion through them was to ferment gradually after the event.

Whereas those real big shots from other circles would directly ascend from the underground parking lot, considering that some preferred not to be exposed before cameras.

As for Zhou Wang, being the host, naturally had to enter from the main entrance.

He planned to arrive ten minutes ahead, facilitating welcoming higher-status big shots.

But he never expected Xia Xiwei would pull such a stunt, along with other celebrities waiting, making the scene initially slip beyond his control.

Unclear whether Xia Xiwei simply wanted to ”assert her sovereignty,” or to vent her grievance from the airport incident in the afternoon, Zhou Wang, unable to unleash his frustration on the spot, could only helplessly shake his head, letting Xia Xiwei lead him inside, arm in arm.

”Mr. Zhou, I’m Ren Quan, honored to meet you, my first time...”

”Mr. Zhou, I’m Shen Teng, invited by Mr. Zhang Shihao...”

The rest of the celebrities standing by, one by one approached Zhou Wang to greet him, all in an extremely humble manner, to which Zhou Wang responded with smiles.

”Thank you all for waiting, the future development of the foundation will rely heavily on your support, no need to be formal, let’s talk upstairs...”

Under the escort of the security led by Xiao Wang, Zhou Wang chatted with the other celebrities as they headed toward the exclusive elevator.

Around the periphery of the crowd inside the lobby, Zhou Dajun and Zhao Guihua exchanged glances, Jiang Jiaxing and Li Xiaolei also wore peculiar expressions.

They hadn’t expected the person getting out of the car to be Zhou Wang, much less that these celebrities were waiting for Zhou Wang...

Wait, doesn’t this imply that the event these celebrities were coming to was the ”company’s internal banquet” Jiang Qingkui spoke of?

Zhou Dajun and Jiang Jiaxing were astonished, while Li Xiaolei’s focus swiftly shifted, as she said with a slightly unpleasant look, ”Does Zhou Wang have a good relationship with that actress called Xia Xiwei?”

”Uh, Wangwang didn’t mention anything, it should merely be for socializing purposes.”

Watching Zhou Wang walk a short distance away amidst the followers, Zhao Guihua, feeling a bit awkward, explained and instinctively wanted to call out Zhou Wang’s name:

”Wang...”

Beside her, Zhou Dajun swiftly stopped her, considering the occasion seemed improper, lest their son indeed had a hidden affair, which would embarrass Zhou Wang?

With so many people watching, anything that needed saying wasn’t appropriate to discuss here...

During their conversation, Li Xiaoya beside them sensed something amiss, she wondered:

”What are you talking about, sister? Do you know the guy coming out of the Rolls-Royce?”

”He’s Zhou Wang!”

Seeing her sister’s puzzled look, clearly not comprehending in the moment, Li Xiaolei reluctantly said:

”That’s Old Zhou’s son, I’ve mentioned it to you, Qingkui’s current boss!”

”?”
