Chapter 1584 - 635: Yacht No. 17
At eight in the evening, Zhou Wang saw Jin Zhixiu again by the Han River.
She was wearing a gray coat with a corset, making her figure look delicate and slender. Her head was adorned with a vintage-style round knit hat, and the knotted scarf covered half her face, leaving only those clear and cool big eyes visible.
Coupled with the slightly mature aura that comes from being nearly thirty, at first glance, the high-cold diva style she exudes is undeniable...but Zhou Wang had already begun to grasp her personality, realizing it was all just a facade.
The real Jin Zhixiu is actually an internally cute, soft-spoken woman, who can occasionally be described as adorable.
For instance, when she’s kissed until she can’t breathe and all she does is weakly push Zhou Wang, even though Zhou Wang isn’t holding her head down, she could easily break away. Also, for example, she clearly wears a sexy dress, but for some reason, the inner wear turns out to be a milky-white girly style...
There are quite a few quirks, but that doesn’t stop Zhou Wang from appreciating the contrast she presents.
"Why did you choose to meet here?"
As they got closer, Jin Zhixiu looked around nervously. Despite the cold weather, there were still quite a few people strolling by the Han River at this time, and she worried about being suddenly recognized by passing fans.
"I reserved a table on yacht seventeen. I heard the food is good, and we’ll get to enjoy a night tour on the Han River. I’m only planning to spend one day for the visit, so the schedule has to be tight."
"Yacht seventeen?"
Jin Zhixiu was attracted by the name and asked expectantly, "Is it the unbookable restaurant on the river?"
"You’ve heard of it too?"
Zhou Wang chuckled, glanced at Jin Zhixiu, naturally took her small hand out of her coat pocket, intertwined their fingers, and then turned around.
Jin Zhixiu blushed, struggled symbolically a few times but couldn’t break free, so she carefully looked around, pulled her scarf up higher, and resignedly let Zhou Wang lead her forward.
"It should be pretty hard to book. Even President Jin couldn’t do it. I had to ask another friend for help, and only then did I manage to book two tables."
Zhou Wang felt slightly annoyed thinking about this.
These two reservations were made with the help of Tyrant Security, part of the VIP benefits... Zhou Wang spent three million dollars, automatically upgrading to a VIP client of Tyrant Security.
Regarding "being ripped off by the company he founded and having to find comfort in small perks," Zhou Wang wasn’t sure how to vent.
"Yes, I know this restaurant. Jennie brought us here once a long time ago. Lisa and I wanted to eat there again but felt embarrassed to bother Jennie, so we tried to book it ourselves...but the waiting list is 9 months long, so we gave up."
"Are you close with Jennie?"
Zhou Wang asked in a casual manner.
"The four of us have always had a good relationship, from five years of being trainees together. Though sometimes we clash because of personality differences, I consider them like family."
Jin Zhixiu pondered for a moment, then cautiously glanced at Zhou Wang, "Actually, Jennie isn’t bad; she...only seems a bit difficult to approach because of family reasons. But once you get to know her..."
"Did she ask you to say this, or is it what you wanted to say?"
Zhou Wang knew that Jin Zhixiu deliberately mentioned Jennie to open a topic, so he looked at her with a half-smile.
Seeing Jin Zhixiu’s evasive eyes, Zhou Wang understood.
He sighed, "It’s not that I can’t tolerate Jennie and Rose having opinions about me. After all, I’m not a US Dollar, not everyone will like me. But I can’t tolerate them publicly discrediting me because at that time, I wasn’t just representing myself."
Jin Zhixiu was momentarily silent. After walking a bit, she couldn’t help but say, "Why don’t I help you contact Jennie? She’s just a bit moody. If you give her a way out..."
"Why should I give her a way out?"
Zhou Wang first said indifferently, then glanced at the speechless Jin Zhixiu, "However, it sounds like you’re closer with Jennie. For your sake, I’ll consider giving her a chance, but whether she can seize it is her own affair."
Jin Zhixiu was momentarily speechless.
She felt a little resentful inside.
Why doesn’t this man understand these things?
What do you mean you’ll give her a chance?
Do you really not know how prominent Jennie’s family background is?
But with the foresight and tactics Zhou Wang showed last night, he shouldn’t be so reckless...
Although Jin Zhixiu is still shocked and finds it incredible that Zhou Wang could suppress Vice President Jiang Xin.
But the Nine Stars Group behind Jiang Xin and the CJ Group in which Jennie’s mother holds shares are not even in the same league, even incomparable.
Nine Stars Group is merely a local power in Seoul, whereas CJ Group, derived from Samsung Group, is one of Korea’s top financial tycoon groups, second only to behemoths like Samsung.
Although Jin Zhixiu has confidence in herself, she admits that their group BlackPink reaching global recognition smoothly owes quite a bit to Jennie’s background...
So, Jin Zhixiu wants to ease the tension between them, with Zhou Wang’s interests in mind.
But fearing to hurt Zhou Wang’s self-esteem and unwilling to admit that she tossed and turned all night and indeed developed feelings for Zhou Wang, right now she’s just grumbling internally, giving a soft sigh, yet still keeping quiet.
