The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1270: Chapter 486: The Great Wind (Part 2)

”If you keep talking nonsense, I’m hanging up.”

Guo Nansheng frowned.

”Hehe, Mr. Nan, no need to rush. The banquet has just started, we have plenty of time...”

Beep!

Guo Nansheng immediately hung up the phone.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again. Guo Nansheng picked it up once more, and both sides were silent for a while until the woman spoke with contained anger:

”Guo Nansheng, I’m warning you. If you hang up on me again, our cooperation ends here!”

”You know we’re just partners, so don’t talk to me in that commanding tone... Also, what exactly do you want to say?”

The woman took a deep breath, then suddenly smiled and spoke, ”I just wanted to ask how you feel now, as the once sole heir of the Jiangnan Guo Family, the Young Master of the Guo Group, you were supposed to stand in the top-floor banquet hall, admired by all, full of spirit...”

”Yet now you can only stand in the shadows like a rat in the sewer. You can probably vaguely hear it, right? The wanton laughter and melodious music coming from above you, where your enemies are singing and dancing...”

”Enough.”

Guo Nansheng closed his eyes. His tone sounded unchanged, but another hand that unknowingly had already clenched into a fist revealed that he wasn’t as calm inside as he appeared.

”I just wanted to confirm if you’re ready.”

The woman stopped at the right time, then chuckled softly.

”I’ve done all that I needed to.”

Guo Nansheng looked up at the seemingly empty ceiling.

”I’m not just talking about that... Mr. Nan, you must also understand that there’s no turning back now. This is right at the center of Magic City, and you should understand the risks involved. Whether you survive or not, you’ve already staked everything on this, do you understand?”

”Stake everything?”

Guo Nansheng seemed to have heard some cosmic joke, his expression twisted for a moment, then returned to calm. He said indifferently:

”I have nothing left to lose now.”

”It’s good that you have such awareness.”

The woman on the other end of the phone nodded in satisfaction. Just as she was about to say something else, Guo Nansheng heard a faint sound behind him. He immediately whispered, ”Someone’s coming,” and then hung up the phone.

Straightening out his expression, Guo Nansheng turned around and saw two staff from the back kitchen walking over, joking and taking out cigarettes.

Guo Nansheng smiled and approached them, politely lighting their cigarettes before turning and leaving the area.

...

The wind howled on the rooftop of the first phase of the International Gold Center office building, where a woman wrapped in a windbreaker, looking about forty to fifty years old, stood. She put away the satellite phone in her hand, looking straight across at the second phase office building.

Golden lights shone from the top floor of the opposite office building. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could vaguely see the silhouettes of guests in suits toasting and laughing.

It was too far, and she was worried about alerting the security, so the woman didn’t dare to use binoculars to peer... She knew how formidable the bodyguards around Zhou Wang were.

But watching from afar was enough.

She wanted to personally witness the fall of the man who had caused her family’s ruin at the highest peak of Magic City...

”Zhou Wang, oh Zhou Wang, you were lucky before, but this time I want to see how you’ll escape...”

In the night, the woman’s neurotic, sinister laughter was gradually swallowed by the strong wind until it fragmented.

...

”Brother Guo, so how exactly did you manage it?”

In a corner at the front of the banquet hall, Zhou Wang fondly patted Guo Wangshan on the shoulder. After the women beside them walked away, he raised his eyebrows and asked Guo Wangshan.

Zhou Wang’s shock was quite justified.

Guo Wangshan didn’t come alone. He brought along two wives, one older and one younger. Of course, in public, Guo Wangshan had only one legal wife. But in certain close circles, both of Guo Wangshan’s wives were recognized as ”legitimate”.

What impressed Zhou Wang was not just that Guo Wangshan managed to have them live in harmony. After all, when not considering specific individuals, Zhou Wang also had similar abilities.

For instance, Su Yajing and Jiang Mo were getting along extremely well in Beidou recently, like sisters. Zhou Wang thought it was time to take them out shopping together... how enjoyable that would be.

But both of Guo Wangshan’s wives were not from ordinary families; they were well-bred young ladies from prestigious backgrounds. Though their family backgrounds might be a notch below the Guo Family, they were still significant. This was the aspect Zhou Wang was curious about...

After all, he was currently quite troubled by Xia Xiwei and Ding Yi.

These two young ladies not only had difficult temperaments, but their family backgrounds were also exceedingly daunting. Zhou Wang felt it a bit beyond his capability to appease both simultaneously.

”Little brother, this relates to a question. What kind of creatures do you think women inherently are?”

”Uh... emotional creatures?”

”Exactly.”

Guo Wangshan wore an expression of ”You can be taught,” saying, ”So for women, what matters isn’t what you will do in the future, but what you’re doing now. The key lies in how you move them... Initially, I also hit a bottleneck. At that time, Yun Xin and Xiao Xi wouldn’t give in to each other, each demanding a proper marriage from me. No one was willing to give up status...”

”So how did you resolve it, Brother?”

”Just marry them, certificates, weddings, whatever they wanted, I gave. Not a big deal!”

”Ah?”

Zhou Wang listened in confusion, ”Isn’t that not possible... after all, we’re in the country. Can you get two certificates and hold two weddings?”

”As you said, that’s in the country.”

Guo Wangshan said meaningfully, ”There’s more than just one country in this world!”

Zhou Wang was startled, ”So you’re saying... in another country, you can hold another wedding and get a new certificate?”

”What they want is the promise granted by that certificate and ceremony. Do they care which country’s marriage certificate it is? So, little brother, you need to broaden your horizon and open your mind!”

Guo Wangshan patted Zhou Wang’s shoulder, laughing, ”I can recommend two countries with simple procedures for you, Singapore... hmm, and Spain would be another good place.”

Zhou Wang showed an expression of ”I get it,” then lightly coughed and said, ”Brother, two countries might not be enough. Can you recommend some more convenient regions?”

”Uh, two are not enough? How many do you need?”

This time, it was Guo Wangshan’s turn to be puzzled.

”Ahem, starting with ten should barely suffice... and afterward, I might have to consult you again.”

”...”

While Guo Wangshan and Zhou Wang were discussing the ”marriage issue” quite indecently, not far away, Young Master Zhang and others were watching the scene with expressions of bewilderment.

”No way... Guo Bing, is that really your dad?”

Tang Yiming asked incredulously, ”The head of a billion-dollar group, the once-renowned bigwig in Magic City’s dark nights?”

”I don’t really want to admit it either.”

Guo Bing twitched the corner of his mouth, ”But I can’t possibly mistake my own dad, can I?”

”It’s just that Brother Dog seems to have this talent. Isn’t he also very close with President Luo... right, Xiao Qi?”

”Shut up, Old Ruan. If you slander my mom again, I’ll fight you. They’re clearly innocent...”

”See, you’re flustered again. I didn’t even say anything!”

Everyone joked around, but after expressing amazement, Young Master Zhang couldn’t help but laugh.

”What are you laughing at?”

Everyone looked over, puzzled.

”The dance is about to start, I’m just thinking, what will Brother Dog do?”

”What do you mean?”

Shao Xiaoqi was confused.

”You’re dense, Xiao Qi. As the host, shouldn’t Zhou Wang dance the first dance?”

”Of course...”

”Then tell me, who should be his dance partner?”

”That of course should be...”

Shao Xiaoqi instinctively started to answer but suddenly found he couldn’t come up with an answer.

He first glanced at Ding Yi, beautiful as a flower, greeting elders on the east side of the banquet hall; then at Xia Xiwei, sweetly seated on the west side; finally, his gaze returned to Jiang Qingkui, like a queen, busily attending to guests in the hall...

Shao Xiaoqi finally understood, and couldn’t help revealing a gleeful expression.

”This time, there’s going to be a good show to watch...”
