The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1498: Chapter 593: A Foreign Land and Old Acquaintances

From Hong Kong Island to Ao Island, taking a helicopter only takes about 15 minutes.

Even if you take the ferry and then a bus, it actually takes at most an hour, which is just like traveling to a nearby prefecture-level city for us.

Zhou Wang sat inside the cabin of the large business helicopter ACH160, looking down at Ao Island in the distance, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

”Brother, what’s wrong?”

Sitting right next to Zhou Wang, tightly holding his hand, Su Yajing sensed Zhou Wang’s odd behavior and curiously asked.

Even though they were in a helicopter, the ACH160 by Airbus is known as the quietest helicopter in its class, so as long as the voice is a little louder, there’s no problem communicating.

”It’s nothing, just that I thought Hong Kong Island was small enough, but I didn’t expect Ao Island to be even more outrageous... Not counting those skyscrapers, the area seems to be about the size of a large township inland.”

Zhou Wang said with a smile.

”It really seems like that...”

A few girls who were crazily taking photos with their phones realized, although Hong Kong Island isn’t large either, it still has an area of over a thousand square kilometers. From a helicopter, you still can’t see its entirety at a glance.

But by comparison, Ao Island is the kind of city where if you stand a little higher, you can see its full view at once.

There’s nothing else to say; this legendary city, known by virtually everyone in Huaxia, has a total land area of only 33 square kilometers, and that’s after land reclamation... it was even smaller earlier.

But even for such a city that is roughly the size of the Yangcheng University City, its per capita GDP has always ranked among the top three in the world, alongside Luxembourg, Ireland, and Singapore, far surpassing Hong Kong Island and major inland cities like Beidou and Magic City.

Of course, that’s only considering per capita GDP. In terms of total amount, Ao Island is about on par with Zhucheng.

As for why Ao Island is so prosperous... those who know, know. There’s no need to elaborate.

”Brother, what is that gold building?”

Su Yajing leaned against Zhou Wang and pointed at the most eye-catching gold skyscraper ahead and asked.

”That should be considered a landmark of Ao Island.”

Zhou Wang took a glance and then smiled, ”D King invested 5 billion to build the Grand Lisboa Macau, which is the second tallest tower under the Ao Tower and one of the largest five-star hotels in Ao Island...”

”Can we stay there?”

Su Yajing, who already liked this luxurious style, immediately asked with her eyes sparkling.

”Definitely not today; let’s talk about it after tonight.”

Zhou Wang shook his head with a smile.

Su Yajing didn’t ask why it couldn’t be today and obediently nodded.

Among the various selfies taken by the girls from high above, the helicopter traversed half of Ao Island and finally began to descend slowly toward a golden and white complex below.

”Wow, brother, this place looks good too. What is it?”

Su Yajing’s eyes lit up as she saw the complex below, which, in terms of grandeur, was not much inferior to the Grand Lisboa Macau.

”Galaxy Resort City.”

Zhou Wang stretched lazily, ”That’s also where we’ll be staying tonight.”

Though Zhou Wang wasn’t particularly fond of such slightly flamboyant styles, considering that Ao Island seemed to be all about flashiness and luxury, he quickly became at ease with it.

The helicopter slowly landed on the hotel’s rooftop helipad, and on the spacious rooftop, a large group of people could already be seen waiting back and front.

The girls were secretly surprised, even if they had guessed that the room Zhou Wang would stay in would certainly be the best, but this welcoming crowd seemed a bit excessive...

Nearly twenty service staff were there, and behind them was security extending all the way to the stairhead, along with a few men and women at the front who were clearly above the management level.

At the very front, two smartly dressed, distinguished young men stood, their ages differing by about ten years, but there was a notable similarity in their features.

”Ah, isn’t that Li Youjun?”

”It really is! I’ve seen the variety show he was on...”

Yu Duo and Cui Min’er suddenly started chattering behind.

Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood.

The two people standing at the front were, in fact, the Li brothers from the Galaxy Li Family, Li Youlong and Li Youjun.

Previously, Li Youjun, who had almost gotten into a fight with Zhou Wang, had opened a social media account online, and although his follower count wasn’t as high as those of big influencers, he still had tens of thousands, most of whom were female fans.

The mindset of his female followers was likely similar to those who follow Wang Sicong—they find him wealthy, well-connected, young, and handsome, and those reasons are enough.

Although Yu Duo and Cui Min’er weren’t fans of Li Youjun, they surf the internet every day and still recognized him at a glance.

Su Yajing also recognized him, but only Shen Yutong, who seldom watches variety shows or follows celebrities, didn’t know who this young man was. However, from the suddenly slightly reserved demeanor of her three sisters, she could guess he might be some big shot.

At this moment, the helicopter had come to a stable stop, and just as the lift extended downward, Li Youlong and Li Youjun, who were standing at the front, already strode over. Li Youlong smiled amiably and naturally, while Li Youjun seemed somewhat stiff but had pulled his mouth into the widest grin possible.

With a signal from Li Youlong’s eyes, Li Youjun was left with no choice but to step forward, and then, to everyone’s stunned gaze, he suddenly bent his waist to a 90-degree angle.

”Mr. Zhou, welcome to Ao Island... I was too impulsive last time, I’m young and ignorant. Please, I hope you will be generous enough to forgive my mistake!”
