The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1277: Chapter 490: Job Change

Jiang Qingkui, who was standing in the corner lost in thought, suddenly heard her name and involuntarily lifted her head in confusion.

At this moment, Jiang Qingkui was completely out of the situation, only hearing Zhou Wang’s call, she instinctively walked towards the stage.

Jiang Jiaxing and Li Xiaolei, who were beside her, were also confused, looking at each other, equally unsure of what Zhou Wang wanted Jiang Qingkui to do at this moment.

”Why don’t I call Qingkui back? Anyway, Qingkui is going to resign, so why let this Zhou family kid order her around?”

Li Xiaolei, who was feeling aggrieved, couldn’t help but speak up, about to call out to Jiang Qingkui.

But Jiang Jiaxing stopped him, shaking his head helplessly and said, ”You better not make a fuss, no matter what, Qingkui is working for him now, and in such an important occasion, do you really want Qingkui to embarrass him in public?”

”I just have a resentment I can’t vent. How is our Qingkui worse than that celebrity? Zhou Wang was clearly chasing our Qingkui relentlessly before, and now he has eyes for her?”

”Sis...actually, I think you should persuade Qingkui instead.”

Seeing Li Xiaolei fuming, Li Xiaoya standing next to her couldn’t help but speak up.

”What do you mean by that?”

Li Xiaolei was taken aback.

”Well, how should I put it?”

Facing her sister, Li Xiaoya didn’t beat around the bush. ”In today’s society, who among the rich doesn’t have multiple wives and concubines? Even Xiang Ming’s circle includes a primary wife and a mistress living together. I don’t think Mr. Zhou is an ordinary person, and since Qingkui likes him so much, shouldn’t she be more accommodating to him?”

Li Xiaolei was initially baffled, it took her a few moments to finally grasp what Li Xiaoya was saying, and she replied incredulously:

”Are you saying Qingkui should accommodate Zhou Wang, and... and directly become his mistress?”

”I’m not saying she necessarily has to be a mistress, after all, Zhou Wang isn’t married yet. Qingkui might still have a chance... You’ve also said that Xia Xiwei is just an actor, and I’ve heard many wealthy people are quite wary of that and wouldn’t marry an actress. Maybe Mr. Zhou is just toying with her?”

Li Xiaolei analyzed in detail, ”Anyway, at this moment, we definitely can’t let Qingkui back down. They’ve been childhood sweethearts, and you and your husband have such a good relationship with his parents. From every angle, Qingkui has more opportunities than that Xia woman...”

”Xiaoya, what nonsense are you talking about!”

This time it was Jiang Jiaxing who couldn’t help but angrily retort, ”Are you saying our Qingkui should compete with other women for a man? That’s ridiculous!”

”Brother-in-law, calm down, Xiaoya was just thinking for Qingkui’s good, after all, being with someone like Mr. Zhou is a rare opportunity that not everyone is fortunate enough to encounter. If Qingkui really can make it work with him, it’d be a good thing...”

”A good thing?”

Jiang Jiaxing sneered at these words, ”I think it’s a good thing for you, isn’t it? That way you can latch onto that President Pei from before.”

”What has that got to do with us?”

With his intentions exposed, Xiang Ming felt embarrassed, but quickly distanced himself from the claim.

...

Jiang Qingkui only woke up after stepping onto the stage.

Even so, she remembered her duties, not showing any emotion on her face, she merely displayed a poised and graceful smile and walked over to Zhou Wang’s side.

Many guests present were seeing Jiang Qingkui for the first time, and gazes of amazement appeared in their eyes.

In today’s daily life, whether on the internet or in reality, the most common sights are sweet girly types, while a stunning high-cold beauty like Jiang Qingkui is quite rare.

”Many people might not know her, so let me give a brief introduction first.”

Zhou Wang smiled and pointed to Jiang Qingkui, ”This is Ms. Jiang Qingkui. ’Jiang’ as in ’great general,’ Qingkui as in ’flora’s heart,’ ’green plains,’ and ’brilliant sunflowers.’”

”Previously, she was nominally my secretary, but in reality, she has been my most important business partner. She followed me when I wasn’t as successful as I am now, yet she gave me the greatest trust, so here, I first want to say thank you to her.”

Faced with Zhou Wang’s sincere gaze, Jiang Qingkui froze, her smile turning stiff, a rare hint of unease in her expression.

She couldn’t understand why Zhou Wang was saying this all of a sudden. Did he sense her feelings, and this was his way of comforting her?

Why does this person always do this...

Every time she wanted to distance herself from him, he’d do something to move her in just the right moment.

However, Jiang Qingkui had to admit, the hard defenses she had just built were starting to crumble again with Zhou Wang’s few words.

Yet when Jiang Qingkui’s gaze wandered and landed on Ding Yi, who was smiling brightly in the audience, her expression once again turned cold.

No matter how many sweet words Zhou Wang said, it couldn’t change certain already established facts.

She was clearly not the kind of person to waver, yet she had struggled in this vortex for too long, and perhaps it was time to end it.

Just as Jiang Qingkui was about to harden her heart again, Zhou Wang shifted his gaze to the entire audience and, holding the microphone, continued:

”Actually, this banquet today is not only for the unveiling of the ’Wang Foundation’, as I mentioned I have another announcement. This announcement is that...”

”From today onward, my Wangzhou Culture will establish itself in Magic City, making it the headquarters. It will integrate all my properties, including the Wangyuan Commerce that many friends are concerned about, and formally establish the ’Wangzhou Group’!”
