The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1382: Chapter 537: Beauty’s Cup

No matter how extravagantly this ”Xiao Lai” described the industries President Mu is involved in, one thing is certain: President Mu indeed built their success upon the high-end service industry.

In other words, the club industry is the true business of President Mu.

As for Peng City Club’s first location, built in a luxury residential area like ”Yantian·Tianlu,” Zhou Wang was genuinely curious about its style and standards.

Even though Zhou Wang hasn’t visited many clubs so far, he has mingled with people from this circle. From what he has seen and heard, there are no clubs more extravagant or exclusive than the Hang City Spa Club and Magic City Building No. 9 Club.

Zhou Wang’s own Dianwang Club and Jingwang Club, as well as the Wangjiang Clubhouse soon to open at Magic City Bund, are all legitimate businesses. They do not compete on the same track as these clubs that specifically follow high-end service routes.

At least Zhou Wang doesn’t have to ingratiate himself with others; instead, those wishing to become members must seek his favor.

The motorcade started with a Mercedes S-Class leading, followed by a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which after making a loop on the internal road, passed through a checkpoint and arrived at a cluster of villas halfway up the mountain.

Zhou Wang noticed from the window that this villa cluster, unlike other residential areas’ villas, was surrounded by a separate greenbelt of trees. If one doesn’t purposely approach, it’s difficult to clearly see the full view of this architectural cluster from other ordinary residential areas.

At the edge of the woods, there were two separate human-height, dark green painted fences, making this architectural cluster resemble a large estate rather than a villa area.

The convoy turned into what was possibly the main entrance, and at some internal road corners featuring fountains or sculptures, Zhou Wang saw security personnel in black suits confirming something with earpieces and silently guiding the motorcade’s progress.

”I apologize, Mr. Zhou, because President Mu often resides here and she places great emphasis on security, the roads inside are slightly winding,”

Perhaps worried that Zhou Wang might feel dizzy, Xiao Lai proactively explained.

”I understand, as a guest, I naturally hope it’s as private as possible.”

Zhou Wang smiled and nodded.

A few minutes later, the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped in front of a medieval fortress-style five-story villa, and Xiao Lai hurried to open the car door for Zhou Wang before Huang Duming could.

As the car door opened, Zhou Wang faintly heard the sound of tides, making him realize that his previous judgment might have been wrong; it was likely not halfway up the mountain, but somewhere near the mountain’s coastal foot.

In front of him, the villa with a typical French façade stood with its doors open, and as Zhou Wang got out of the car, he immediately saw the woman standing at the villa’s entrance.

She appeared to be around thirty or forty years of age, dressed in an elaborate white cheongsam. Behind her stood four tall, model-like girls on each side, dressed in white, forming a distinct contrast with the bodyguards outside.

Zhou Wang was taken aback by the sight of this extraordinarily graceful woman; he hadn’t expected the so-called ”President Mu” to be a woman.

At the first moment of seeing her, a character from an anti-corruption drama series that was very popular some years ago popped into Zhou Wang’s mind—a woman with the surname Gao. While their appearances were not similar, their demeanor was quite alike.

Regarding her looks, she couldn’t compare to youthful girls, but one could only say she still retained her charms, likely being the type some men favor.

Soon, Zhou Wang’s mind filled with doubt. Although President Mu wasn’t young, saying she had been striving in Peng City since the last century wouldn’t add up. But remembering Xiao Lai’s earlier mention of ”two generations,” Zhou Wang found relief in understanding the shared ownership.

It seemed President Mu was merely the ”second generation” who took over the family business, but he still wondered where her roots lay.

These thoughts flashed by without affecting Zhou Wang as he walked forward with a smile to shake hands with the welcoming woman.

”Mr. Zhou, I’ve heard so much about you. I’m Mu Li... Li as in glass.”

”Hello, President Mu, nice to finally meet you.”

Zhou Wang intended to shake hands briefly, but President Mu didn’t let go, so he continued holding her hand.

... It must be said that although President Mu was older, she evidently spent considerable effort on maintaining her appearance, her smooth skin barely differing from a young girl’s.

”Mr. Zhou might not know, President Mu originally planned to visit Beidou for some family matters these days, but because Mr. Zhou came to Peng City, President Mu stayed in Peng City to better host Mr. Zhou...”

Xiao Lai suddenly added with a smile, causing Mu Li to frown.

”Yuanbao!”

”Sorry, President Mu, Mr. Zhou, I misspoke...”

Possibly named ”Lai Yuanbao,” the man hurriedly apologized.

Zhou Wang paused, unsure if Xiao Lai’s comment was truly unintentional, but he played along, appearing flattered.

At the same time, he contemplated the information Xiao Lai ”unintentionally” revealed; going to Beidou for family visits was certainly interesting.

”This... President Mu is too kind; there’s no need to delay important matters for me.”

Thinking this, Zhou Wang spoke with an apologetic tone, ”I ought to have visited President Mu sooner. Indeed, I’ve been busy accompanying my girlfriend these past couple of days and couldn’t leave...”
