The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1661: Chapter 672: Prelude_2

Xu Wenqian thought about the words Zhou Wang had said to her on the plane. Listening to Jiang Qingkui’s analysis at this moment, she also felt it was mostly a joke. After all, from any angle, Zhou Wang’s current career and wealth are flourishing, with hardly any obvious risks in sight.

The main thing was that Zhou Wang looked so serious back then, which indeed scared Xu Wenqian a little.

”Instead of wasting time on wild thoughts, why not think about how to help your amorous boss prepare a birthday gift? Although he has so many good sisters, he might not remember who gave what, but he’ll most likely remember who didn’t.”

Jiang Qingkui said mockingly.

Xu Wenqian pursed her lips at these words, not responding. However, just as Jiang Qingkui was about to close the car door, she couldn’t help but ask:

”If, Sister Qingkui, I mean if, don’t consider how unlikely it is for the boss to go bankrupt, but if it really happened, what would you do?”

”What else can I do?”

Jiang Qingkui snorted coldly, ”Why do you think I decided to be his personal secretary in the first place?”

After saying this, Jiang Qingkui closed the car door, and as the Range Rover drove away, Xu Wenqian was left alone with the Maybach brought by her assistant at the group.

Feeling the implicit attitude in Jiang Qingkui’s words, Xu Wenqian felt a sense of loss.

But then she smiled relievedly, mumbling to a certain direction, ”Don’t worry, boss, even if everyone betrays you, I won’t leave... Who knows, if you really run out of money, you might stop being amorous, and then only I’ll be left by your side.”

As Xu Wenqian spoke, she seemed to think of something that made her chuckle.

But as she laughed, her expression gradually became gloomy, and she couldn’t help but mock herself in her heart.

”Xu Wenqian, oh Xu Wenqian, it’s been so long, how are you still so foolish?”

...

Mountain City, Silver Sea North Star District.

As a residential area completed in 2007, it’s extremely inconspicuous among the many high-rise residential areas in Mountain City. The average price of around ten thousand per square meter and the rent of a little over a thousand have made it the first choice for many workers to move in.

A girl with an oval face and plain makeup was wearing a baseball cap and carrying groceries she had just bought, walking toward a slightly rundown apartment building not far away. Suddenly, a voice with a probing tone came from beside her:

”Are you... Hua Suisui?”

Hua Suisui looked up to see two young men by the roadside. After getting a clear view of Hua Suisui’s face, the two young men visibly showed an excited expression.

”Oh damn, Hua Suisui, it’s really you!”

”Hello, guys.”

Hua Suisui nodded and smiled at the two.

”Uh... Sister Suisui, we’re both your fans and often watch your streams...”

After confirming it was really Hua Suisui, once the initial surprise passed, the two young men instead became restrained.

”Thank you for your support.”

Hua Suisui just smiled politely, ”I have something urgent, so I’ll go first.”

With that, Hua Suisui quickened her pace and walked straight into the apartment building.

The two young men left behind responded instinctively at first, and only after Hua Suisui disappeared behind the apartment’s security door did they begin to blame each other:

”Darn it, Liu Fei, why were you so timid, not even asking for her WhatsApp, at least take a photo together?”

”Dammit, Zhang Wei, you have the nerve to say that? You’re the one who always calls her ’wife’ the most enthusiastically in the chat room, why did you change it to ’Sister Suisui’ when we’re face to face?”

”I just didn’t react in time, but since Hua Suisui actually lives here, doesn’t that mean we might have more chances to meet her?”

”This probably isn’t her home, right? She’s a big internet celebrity with nearly ten million fans, surely she lives in a villa or a large apartment, how could she possibly have bought a place here?”

”True...”

Amid the conversation behind her, Hua Suisui, who had entered the apartment building, had taken the elevator to the 17th floor and pulled out a key from her bag to open the door to room 1702.

”Mom, I’m back!”

”Why did you buy so many groceries again, can you finish them?”

In the living room, a middle-aged woman with fair skin and simple clothes came over. When she saw the various groceries Hua Suisui was holding, she first complained, but soon noticed the dark circles under her daughter’s plain cheeks and immediately changed her tune.

”Never mind, just bring it all over, whatever you want for dinner, Mom will make it for you!”

”Hehe, I knew Mom is the best... By the way, Mom, I ran into two of my stream’s fans downstairs again, this is the third batch from the community, aren’t I impressive?”

Hua Suisui first hugged her mother, then laughed proudly.

”Impressive, indeed. Our Mountain City has 30 million people, and my daughter’s fans take up a third.”

Hua Suisui’s mother rolled her eyes, encouraging her daughter as usual, seeing Hua Suisui sitting on the sofa with her phone again, tinkering with something. Hua Suisui’s mother hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke:

”Suisui, are you really not planning to find another job?”

Seeing that Hua Suisui didn’t immediately respond and seemed absent-minded, Hua Suisui’s mother thought for a moment, put down what she was holding, and sat next to her.

”Mom knows your current life is quite good. Even if you just stream at home every day, you can earn more than your parents ever could in their lifetimes, but, but you haven’t been out for so long, nor have you interacted with anyone else...”

Her mother sighed, ”Suisui, your dad and I are actually very worried about you. Perhaps you should consider...”

”Mom, I’m going to the Magic City.”

At this point, Hua Suisui, who had been playing with her phone, suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling. ”I might be gone for several days. I just booked a ticket; I’m leaving tomorrow.”

”Uh... Going to the Magic City?”

Hua Suisui’s mother was a bit dumbfounded.

”Yes.”

Hua Suisui glanced at the calendar on the coffee table, making sure she didn’t get the date wrong. It seemed like she was talking to herself or perhaps making a firm decision.

”I don’t want to wait any longer. I need to go to the Magic City. I’ve already been so brave; I wasn’t even afraid to quit my job, so why can’t I be a little braver? I need a definite answer; I... I want to see him.”

”Ah?”

Hua Suisui’s mother didn’t actually understand what her daughter was talking about, but since her daughter wanted to go out, it was naturally a good thing, so she quickly nodded.

”Going to the Magic City is great, go ahead!”

...

Zhe Province, Hengdian Film City.

As the largest film shooting base and theme park cluster in Huaxia and even globally, it’s known as the ”Huaxia Hollywood.” Every day, countless young people with various dreams come here, only to gradually become numb in the harsh reality, turning into walking dead who run around for a few boxed meals every day.

Of course, besides the grassroots actors and occasionally seen big stars, there is another kind of profession in this place with a large number of people, arguably omnipresent and omnipervasive.

”Boss, why aren’t we guarding the places where the film crews gather, and instead wandering around here? I don’t see other paparazzi coming to places like this...”

Inside the garden of a tranquil hotel, two men in borrowed employee uniforms wandered around pretending to be busy. The younger one couldn’t help but ask.

”What do you know? To dig up exclusive big scoops, you can’t stick to conventional methods. I’ve got inside info that not just one big-name group is staying at this hotel recently. What we need to do is strike a fatal blow when they’re most relaxed!”

The older man taught while glancing around, observing all movements with sharp eyes.

”And I’ve told you countless times, ’paparazzi’ is a derogatory term outsiders use to call us. We are legitimate frontline journalists...”

The young man was about to retort when the middle-aged man suddenly ”shushed” him and quickly whispered:

”Don’t look around, pretend to work, someone’s coming!”
