The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 488 - 214: Growth (Make-up Update)

"Hey, where’s Little One?"

After everyone sat down, Hua Suisui asked curiously.

"She hadn’t been gone long when Sister Yan called her away, I think to offer a toast. She hasn’t come back since..."

Lin Ran explained.

Hua Suisui let out an "Oh" without paying much attention, then teased Lin Ran, "Hey, Sister Ran, weren’t you shouting about toasting Mr. Zhou three glasses? Why so quiet now?"

"Right, Sister Ran, didn’t you say offering yourself was on the table too?"

Shi Yi giggled.

"When did I say I’d offer myself? What nonsense are you spouting..."

Lin Ran blushed and pinched Shi Yi.

"Oh?"

Seated at the center, Zhou Wang was first startled, then laughed, "Seems like there’s a story I don’t know about..."

"Mr. Zhou, it’s really nothing, just... I have a friend who was harassed by Mr. Zheng. She reported it to the other executives at the time, but nothing came of it." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Lin Ran hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Now Mr. Zheng has resigned voluntarily. Everyone knows it was you who intervened, so I want to thank you on behalf of my friend... Why are you all looking at me like that? Really, it’s my friend, not me!"

Lin Ran was halfway through her sentence when she noticed everyone looking at her with peculiar expressions. She suddenly became embarrassed and angry.

"Is there really something like this?"

Only Zhou Wang appeared very serious, "Did you report it to the police then, or do you have any evidence now..."

"The police?"

Startled, Lin Ran quickly waved her hand, "It’s not that serious. Mr. Zheng didn’t gain any real advantage. It just bothered me for a long time, so..."

Realizing her slip of the tongue, Lin Ran playfully shot Zhou Wang a glance before taking her wine glass to toast him.

Zhou Wang, having extracted some information, laughed heartily and clinked glasses with her. He had seen Lin Ran in a bikini before, finding such a mature woman quite intriguing. It was only after his "Nanke Dream" with Xiao An that Zhou Wang understood...

Physically speaking, the allure and attentiveness of a mature woman were far beyond what a young girl could offer.

Although Lin Ran was Hua Suisui’s manager, she was quite attractive, so it was no surprise that Mr. Zheng, a known womanizer, would have his eyes on her...

Stemming from the joke Zhou Wang initiated, the barrier created by his new role quickly dissipated, and the atmosphere in the side hall became lively again.

In essence, they were all young people. When Zhou Wang didn’t put on airs, it was just an ordinary drinking party. The table was originally set with champagne, but at Zhou Wang’s gesture, it was soon replaced with an array of Brooklyn Ten, his favorite craft beer.

Yes, it was his favorite brew.

The drinks were brought by the company, but Zhou Wang specifically requested this beer...

Since Zhou Wang had the means, he tried many different craft beers during his leisure time, with prices ranging from a few yuan to over a hundred per bottle, but Brooklyn Ten remained his favorite.

Champagne, sipped in small doses, couldn’t get one drunk, at least not for someone with Zhou Wang’s tolerance. He was actually in a very good mood today, not wanting to drink himself into oblivion, but at least chasing a nice buzz.

Endme was initially a bit hesitant, until Chen He cheerfully said, "No problem, Xiaoxi, if you want to drink, go ahead. I’m not drinking tonight anyway. I’ll make sure to get you home safely."

Ji Xiaoxi had that strange feeling again. She never drank much before, and after getting together with Chen He, who didn’t like her going to bars or anything like that, here he was, encouraging her to drink...

"Cheers!"

The deep brown liquid mixed with ice cubes swirled in the glass, slipping down into everyone’s stomachs amid laughter.

The mood reached its peak of enjoyment after Zhou Wang said, "No worries, in the future, big brother’s got you," and Endme gradually relaxed, her smile growing brighter.

Zhou Wang watched the joyful Hua Suisui and Endme, even if it wasn’t the first time, he still felt a bit out of place.

He wasn’t a fan, only watching internet celebrities for a laugh.

But anyway, the once unreachable figures behind the screen were now vividly by his side. It was quite an intriguing feeling.

As for Ji Xiaoxi, Zhou Wang was indeed captivated by her looks, but since she still believed in love, there was no need to destroy that. Being friends was nice too.

Only... the overly enthusiastic attitude of her boyfriend Chen He always felt a bit off to him.

Yes, whether chatting or playing games, Chen He, who wasn’t drinking, was still exceptionally lively, comparable to a club promoter, even later dropping the "Mr. Zhou" to "Brother Zhou."

This had Zhou Wang wondering if his personal "Charm" had grown to such an extent. Last time, he had indirectly humiliated Chen He, even hugging Endme right in front of him. Could this really turn enmity into friendship?

Even due to a small game, Ji Xiaoxi was nearly forced to drink an interlinked toast with Zhou Wang, though it didn’t really succeed due to Endme’s embarrassment. Still, Chen He seemed unbothered...

Such open-mindedness, impressive!

Zhou Wang felt inferior by comparison.

Even if Chen He’s showmanship was too exaggerated and superficial, Zhou Wang couldn’t figure out what he was after, so he decided to let it be...

Time unknowingly crept past three in the morning. Amid laughter, guided by Xiao An, Zhang Shihao and the others came to bid farewell.

A group of four, including Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ming, a deputy general manager, and the major strategic partner for the coming year, Mr. Ma from Daxia Film and Television.
