Chapter 1670 - 677: Birthday (Part 3)

Chapter 1670: Chapter 677: Birthday (Part 3)

Around eleven in the morning.

Zhou Wang changed into an exceptionally formal outfit and even matched it with a pair of non-prescription gold-wire glasses. After looking at himself in the mirror, he couldn’t help but ponder...

Emmm, damn it, I look even more like a hypocrite.

But this was the suggestion of Yun Rou, who is now an experienced stylist. She believed this look would make Zhou Wang appear more mature and stable in social settings, compensating for the disadvantage of his young age.

Zhou Wang didn’t really care, but following Yun Rou’s suggestion would certainly make both girls happy, so he decided to wear the gold-wire glasses at that moment.

By the way, these gold-wire glasses were a birthday gift from Yun Rou and Yun Lan, from a European brand called Lindeberg.

Danish precision craftsmanship, minimalist design without a logo, the frame is likely platinum-coated... Although Yun Rou and Yun Lan awkwardly didn’t mention the price, Zhou Wang estimated that these glasses might cost tens of thousands.

Of course, "Lindeberg" isn’t considered top luxury in the eyewear world. Besides the undisputed king Lotos, brands like Maybach and Cartier are known for their luxury and extravagance. A fully customized pair of gold-wire glasses can easily cost hundreds of thousands, even up to a million.

However, although Yun Rou and Yun Lan didn’t give the best gift, based on their income, this gift was already quite considerate.

It’s also fairly certain that with more time together, these two sisters inevitably developed feelings for Zhou Wang beyond just being an employer.

But actually, it’s quite normal. That famous saying from Zhang Ailing, from Zhou Wang’s practical experience, its validity is constantly increasing... Although Yun Rou and Yun Lan have only an employment relationship with Zhou Wang, the time they’ve spent together surpasses that of many women around Zhou Wang.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Guo and Mr. He have already arrived, would you like to invite them up now?"

In the drawing room, while Zhou Wang was waiting, the butler Han Rui walked in to announce.

"Invite them up."

Zhou Wang said firstly, and after Han Rui left, Zhou Wang checked the drawing room’s arrangement again before calling Yun Rou, who was responsible for serving tea and water, "Go to the storeroom cabinets and look, I remember Young Master Qiu sent me some Gao Xibao cigars before, get them out as well..."

Zhou Wang himself doesn’t smoke cigars, but he remembers He Jinglun enjoys them.

There’s nothing particularly special about Gao Xibao; many people know it as a regular king of cigars. However, many don’t know that Gao Xibao’s high price and reputation also makes it the most counterfeited cigar brand in the world.

... Especially in Huaxia, where people are foolish and have too much money, not saying everything is fake, but the most conservative estimate is at least over 80% are fake.

Therefore, it’s not that Gao Xibao cigars are hard to find, but genuine Gao Xibao cigars are rare... Of course, Zhou Wang himself doesn’t like cigars, so the cigars Young Master Qiu sent him are just right to entertain guests. With Young Master Qiu’s status, one would guess no one dares to send him counterfeits.

Before long, the butler Han Rui led a group of people in, at the forefront were the chairman of Guo Group, Guo Wangshan, and the president of He Group, He Jinglun, laughing and chatting.

Behind them were three men and one woman: big shots from Magic City games and technology field, Chen Qiaosheng, Shen Li from Yuanri Ship Group, Liu Heng from Speed Express Group, and the business woman powerhouse from Magic City, mother of Young Master Zhang, Zhang Shiling, who controls Lingxi Group.

Not more nor less, these six are exactly the six founding members of the Wangjiang Chamber of Commerce, in a sense having intricate ties with Zhou Wang as Magic City’s moguls.

This birthday, Zhou Wang considered many things.

With his current status, there’s certainly no way he’d really celebrate like an ordinary 22-year-old, only needing to think about where to play, how to party, what budget to spend, or which girl to invite...

As he decided to make Magic City his real base in China, "birthday" becomes a great social opportunity.

And inviting specific guests on such a day can show closeness to the greatest extent.

But Zhou Wang didn’t plan to hold a big banquet, so he decided to set this social time at noon... This way, he would still have plenty of time to deal with his personal matters.

"Brother Guo, Mr. He, and Aunt Zhang... Welcome, welcome!"

Zhou Wang went up to them, shaking hands and greeting each one.

Out of some tacit understanding, Guo Wangshan didn’t bring Guo Bing, He Jinglun didn’t bring He Jiang, likewise, Zhang Shiling didn’t call Young Master Zhang along.

Regarding this, Young Master Zhang privately complained to Zhou Wang yesterday —

"Damn it, it feels like I’m not qualified to be your brother anymore, making me feel like I’ve been downgraded in front of you..."

Then Zhou Wang responded —

"You brat, remove ’like’, you’re naturally one generation below me!"

"..."

Young Master Zhang was speechless about this.

Not to mention Zhou Wang has already established equal friendships with their parents’ generation, even the usual buddies like Shao Xiaoqi and Guo Bing, now whenever they see Zhou Wang, it’s always "Uncle Zhou", making Young Master Zhang quite confused as it’s becoming increasingly difficult to figure out his position in everyday interactions.
