The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1345: Chapter 521: Cui Min’er’s Secrets (2)

”Zhou Wang?”

Cui Min’er and Yu Duo both turned their heads in shock.

While a wave of surprise surged in Shen Yutong’s heart, Su Yajing laughed and said, ”You guys don’t know, right? Yutong got into that film crew because I asked my brother for help. She was just too embarrassed to tell you... With my brother’s support, Yutong wouldn’t be bullied!”

Yu Duo heard this and quietly sighed in relief, though she wasn’t sure what she was nervous about earlier.

As for Cui Min’er, amidst her astonishment, she finally understood.

If Zhou Wang was the reason, then it all made sense...

During the time when the other three girls were unaware, Cui Min’er had been constantly following everything about Zhou Wang.

From some unknown point, that man had occupied a special place in her heart, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint it.

This ”specialness” didn’t seem to be of romantic affection, yet oddly, at certain inexplicable times, Zhou Wang’s image would flash unbidden in Cui Min’er’s mind.

Tracing back to the root, it might have started at that secluded swimming pool in Ming City, on a cold moonlit night when Zhou Wang cornered her at the door, trampling all her dignity and pride under his feet, scattered about...

Even though she was powerless to resist and effortlessly had her defenses breached by Zhou Wang, if it weren’t for Zhou Wang deliberately toying with her, she might have been pathetically serving him on her knees that very night.

Yes, it was after that night.

Cui Min’er felt she had developed a unique feeling towards Zhou Wang, which led her to keep an eye on his movements even after returning to her home country.

So among the four presents, apart from Su Yajing who was originally Zhou Wang’s ”official girlfriend”, she was indeed the one who knew Zhou Wang the best.

Yet, some things become more frightening the more you understand them.

Following the various ”traces” Zhou Wang left on the internet, Cui Min’er increasingly realized her ignorance.

Her impression of Zhou Wang had remained that of a ”small financial tycoon” in Ming City, but later, with Zhou Wang’s assets gradually being exposed in Hang City, Beidou, and the Magic City, she learned that his influence was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

So if the reason Shen Yutong was doing well in the crew was because of Zhou Wang, then everything seemed to make sense.

Thinking of this, Cui Min’er couldn’t help but dig her shining, polished nails into the palm of her gentle hand.

A certain dissatisfaction emerged again from within her heart...

Why do Yu Duo and Shen Yutong, by mere association with Su Yajing, get so many benefits?

While she herself received nothing.

No need to mention Yu Duo—she remembered, when she just got to know Zhou Wang, he gave her a gift worth 800,000 RMB, which was over 1.5 billion Korean Won, an astronomical sum!

And Shen Yutong—she clearly remembered that Zhou Wang disliked her, yet somehow she gained such advantages, not only being able to directly participate in the shooting of a hit web drama but also being deliberately cared for by the director...

When they met today, she noticed that although Shen Yutong’s attire was the simplest of the four girls, her outfit was actually from Prada’s Linea Rossa sports collection, with even just the jacket costing over five figures.

This undoubtedly showed that Shen Yutong’s income had undergone a drastic change as well.

Why did she deserve this...

Hmm, wait!

As Cui Min’er felt indignation, she suddenly noticed that when Su Yajing was explaining for Shen Yutong, Shen Yutong’s expression was not that natural.

Among the four dormitory girls, Su Yajing was conspiring, Yu Duo was an open book, and even Shen Yutong didn’t have much guile.

In Cui Min’er’s eyes, she was the typical ”X University no brain” type, with many emotions written on her face.

And Shen Yutong’s evasive gaze at this moment told Cui Min’er that there must be more to this story.

Could it be...

A certain suspicion surfaced in Cui Min’er’s heart; she dared not believe it, but her intuition told her that this might be the truth.

And at that moment of subtlety, when Cui Min’er’s heart was full of doubts, Su Yajing suddenly fell silent.

There’s no need to mention the guilty-minded Shen Yutong, and Yu Duo, who was also deliberately avoiding the topic of ”Zhou Wang,” certainly wouldn’t say anything.

Thus, the atmosphere descended into awkward silence, with all four girls looking around with various concerns, until Zhou Wang returned, and with Su Yajing casually starting to share some recently discovered ”godly skincare products,” their atmosphere returned to harmony.

Unaware of anything happening, Zhou Wang was on the side, yawning in boredom until the boarding announcement sounded.

...

The shuttle bus was really difficult to ride.

Most people could only stand, but at this moment, Zhou Wang received another wave of ”little benefits.”

Due to the crowding, he naturally stood on the outer side, while the four girls squeezed into a corner, and with the vehicle swaying, Zhou Wang’s nose was filled with a mix of various perfume fragrances, and from time to time, his body collided with unknown softness, making the entire experience quite alluring.

After a few minutes of the ride ended, it was time to queue for boarding.

Amid the formal smiles and greetings from two Shenzhen Airlines flight attendants, Zhou Wang followed the four girls into the cabin.

As he passed the business class, Zhou Wang exchanged glances with two men sitting in the rear seats, unable to hold back a chuckle at their innocent expressions.

Those two men were Gao Xing and Huang Duming.

As Zhou Wang’s ”representative” in Beidou, Huang Duming was originally active in Beidou. Due to group establishment, he rushed from Beidou to Magic City to report, and because the ”Little Blue Bottle” was soon to be released, he needed to visit the south and pick a factory site, so Zhou Wang took him along on the trip south.

Just as he didn’t plan to take Lin Ran this time, having Huang Duming was convenient for dealing with some troubles.

Gao Xing wasn’t good at handling people, while the more tactful Huang Duming was more suitable.

Since they were accompanying, they obviously flew on the same flight with Zhou Wang, only...

The economy class tickets cost over a thousand, while the business class tickets Gao Xing and Huang Duming were taking cost over five thousand, offering more comfort than his own as the boss.

Yet, Gao Xing and Xiao Huang needed to be on duty with early boarding, helping Zhou Wang clear some risks. Moreover, Zhou Wang wasn’t the type to ”endure hardship” and insist others around him do the same, so he didn’t mind.

Besides them, Xiao Wang and his team were likely on the plane too, though he wasn’t sure which class they bought seats in.

Traveling discreetly doesn’t mean truly being ”solo”; Zhou Wang still had a large entourage, merely using a different operating style.

Su Yajing had seen Huang Duming before, so when she noticed him sitting in the business class she was slightly taken aback, but not too surprised, and with a smile, she entered further.

However, as Zhou Wang passed by, Huang Duming quickly stood up, ”Mr. Zhou, why don’t I switch with you, and I’ll go to the economy class...”

”What, you want to take my place surrounded by beauties?”

Zhou Wang’s words left the startled Huang Duming speechless, then smiling approached, patting his shoulder, ”You stay seated; I’m not on a standing ticket, no need for your concern.”

Huang Duming scratched his head and sat back down.

Entering economy class, Zhou Wang followed the four girls to his seat; the aircraft was an Airbus 320 with six seats per row, divided by an aisle with two seats on each side.

Among the five, Yu Duo, Cui Min’er, and Shen Yutong sat on the opposite side, while Zhou Wang sat with Su Yajing, Zhou Wang in the middle, Su Yajing by the aisle, and the innermost seat occupied by a stranger, a young man with white hair.

What puzzled Zhou Wang was that since sitting down, this white-haired young man had been sneakily glancing at him, his gaze lingering between the four girls, occasionally exchanging whispers with his companion behind him, his expressions odd.

After a while, feeling slightly irritated, Zhou Wang turned and asked, ”What are you looking at?”

The white-haired young man seemed startled, then took out his phone, speaking in imperfect Mandarin:

”Brother, could you add me on WeChat? I have something I’d like to consult you about...”
