The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1413: Chapter 551: Apology Gift (Part 2)

Of course, it’s... Zhou Wang’s.

Huo Chengrui thought he had already overestimated Zhou Wang’s status in his father’s mind, but now it seems he was still too conservative.

Why is it that besides his father, even the leaders of the Li Family’s large corporation and the Huang Family Group value Zhou Wang so much?

Yet ironically, he had never heard of Zhou Wang’s name...

Jessie’s implication was already very clear; in order to gain Zhou Wang’s forgiveness, all three families were even willing to pay a certain price.

But frankly, considering the whole situation, Zhou Wang didn’t actually suffer much, at most he was just subjected to a few harsh words.

He doesn’t believe that with his father’s abilities, he still wouldn’t know the full picture of the situation by now.

Even if Huo Yingxiong doesn’t know, given Jessie’s usual caution, no matter how rushed the time, she would certainly weigh the pros and cons thoroughly first.

This can only indicate that in this matter, the rights and wrongs, the causes and consequences, and the pros and cons are not important. The only thing that matters is Zhou Wang’s perception of this event.

But why?

He couldn’t possibly be the governor’s illegitimate child, could he?

...

Yes, why indeed?

The same question arose in Mu Li’s heart.

She and Mr. Huo had the same illusion, that they had already overestimated Zhou Wang’s background and resources. But somehow... when she finally got close to Zhou Wang, she found that he still seemed shrouded in mist, with nothing clear to see.

At this moment, the group was already in the cleared-out yacht’s main salon. Present, besides Zhou Wang, Jessie, and Mu Li, were only Li Youjun sitting in the corner, dejected, and Wang Chengyun, who followed with uncertainty and disbelief.

Huo Chengrui was probably on a phone call, as he had been gone for quite a while.

And Li Youjun, after receiving a phone call, seemed to have understood something. Now he was like a wilted eggplant, not daring to make a sound, looking as if he was waiting for judgment.

On the deck, after Jessie greeted Zhou Wang with extreme courtesy, they came here.

Zhou Wang had actually vaguely guessed why Jessie had come, so his demeanor was very calm. Naturally, in Jessie’s eyes, this made him appear even more enigmatic.

She subtly assessed Zhou Wang, who looked ridiculously young, and began to speak with a smile:

”Mr. Zhou, first of all, on behalf of Chengrui, I must apologize to you. Though he is much older than you, having grown up in a privileged environment, he has inevitably picked up some bad habits...”

”Miss Chen, you’ve said enough of these formalities, no need to repeat them. It’s getting late, why don’t we get straight to the point?”

Zhou Wang raised his hand to interrupt her, saying with a faint smile.

Considering regional issues in his introduction, Jessie referred to Zhou Wang by his more formal Chinese name, so Zhou Wang also directly addressed her by her surname.

With Jessie’s invisible status on Hong Kong Island, few would interrupt her so bluntly, which also left Mu Li amazed because even so, Jessie was not displeased at all and maintained her smile.

”Alright.”

Jessie took a deep breath, and her tone became slightly more serious, ”Mr. Zhou, this time I’ve come with sincere apologies. Due to time constraints, I couldn’t prepare the documents on paper, but you can look at these electronic files on my phone...”

With that, Jessie pushed the unlocked phone in front of Zhou Wang.

However, Mu Li was somewhat lost in thought.

The reason was Jessie’s choice of words, ”apology”...

Indeed, Jessie had already characterized the matter from the outset.

All the fault was theirs, Zhou Wang was the offended party.

This isn’t just politeness, it has a flavor of ”humble apology”.

But given the Huo Family’s status, why would they need to do this?

Yet if this scene was real, she could increasingly understand why that relative from Beidou spoke so confidently...

At this point, Zhou Wang was already looking at the files on Jessie’s phone, and as he had expected, the digital asset certificates and draft transfer contracts were indeed regarding the three properties indicated in the system prompt...

No, to be precise, there were two; one particular property Zhou Wang was interested in wasn’t included.

Additionally, there seemed to be some other things mixed in.

”There’s still the same issue: time is too tight, this is all we could gather in such a short time, but there’s one thing I hope Mr. Zhou can understand.”

Jessie paused slightly before she continued:

”The internal workings of the three major groups are not a one-man show, so some of the assets involve some subsequent negotiations. Mr. Zhou can consider carefully...”

Jessie’s words carried a hint of caution.

Zhou Wang understood her implication: she meant Zhou Wang could pick and choose from what was offered.

Of course, Zhou Wang realized that even if he got a little greedy, Jessie would likely not refuse, since being able to present these files already demonstrated their bottom line to some extent.

But Zhou Wang didn’t actually need to hesitate, as... the system had already made the choice for him.

So after just a quick glance, Zhou Wang smiled and said, ”I happen to want to invest in property on Hong Kong Island. I’ve heard the racing culture there is very rich, and I’m quite interested in experiencing it... Also, if I’m not mistaken, doesn’t the Huo Family have shares in the Australia Galaxy Group?”

”Not the Huo Family. Our Huo Group isn’t much involved in that business; it’s the Li Family that holds shares.”

”Oh, then I must have been mistaken.”

Listening to Zhou Wang’s serious nonsense, Jessie’s mouth twitched slightly.

You don’t know?

You made a mistake?

Whoever has heard anything about the Li Family would know who owns the territory of Australia, let alone that the Galaxy Group was founded by the patriarch of the Li Family...

But Jessie was also deeply shocked.

Hong Kong Island’s assets were one thing; she was just surprised Zhou Wang picked them so precisely, because whether it was the property on No. 90 Shallow Bay Road or the shares of the Neptune Race Club, both were top-quality assets on the list.

But as for the potentially transferable assets of the Australia Galaxy Group, they weren’t mentioned in the documents. Yet, the eldest son of the Li Family mentioned it on the phone...

It’s quite baffling.

Is Zhou Wang clairvoyant, or has he had his eye on the Li Family’s shares in the Galaxy Group all along?

If it’s the latter...

This thought left Jessie with a rather creepy feeling.

”To my knowledge, the Li Family does, indeed, have some transferable shares in the Galaxy Group, and although it’s just a hotel under the group, it’s still one of the core assets...”

Jessie laid this out before continuing, ”But I need to make a call to seek their opinion.”

Zhou Wang immediately made a gesture to let her proceed, and Jessie stood up to make the call.

At this time, Mu Li and Wang Chengyun finally snapped out of their shock.

What did they hear?

Knowing Jessie came to apologize, naturally she brought a ”gift” to demonstrate sincerity.

But they never expected these gifts to be so substantial.

These were genuine assets, particularly involving the Galaxy Group... that’s one of the Li Family’s pillar industries, just given away like this?

By now, Jessie had finished her call and returned. Naturally, there was no surprise in the result; the prepared Li Family naturally consented.

The corner-sitting Li Youjun, who still had some disbelief, quickly raised his head when he heard Jessie mention ”President Li has agreed”.

”My brother just agreed like that?”

Although he was scolded over the phone by Li Youlong, Li Youjun still did not know who Zhou Wang was due to the lack of clear details.

But the Galaxy Group, that was one of his family’s most important assets!

”Do you know why?”

Having thoroughly understood the situation and knowing the inside story best, Jessie glanced at Li Youjun and unemotionally repeated:

”President Li’s exact words were, since my incompetent brother can’t even say a simple sorry... then it falls on us to apologize on his behalf.”
