Chapter 1609 - 647: Park Jeongyun
Zhou Wang was momentarily speechless.
The last time he felt this speechless was, well, last time.
If Jennie were as malicious as Rose, that would be one thing, but Zhou Wang could tell that Jennie genuinely wasn’t just mocking him; in her perspective, she seemed to be genuinely giving Zhou Wang an opportunity.
Even though her well-intentioned attitude carried an air of condescending charity.
But in Jennie’s own feelings, she wouldn’t see anything warped about it.
Before Zhou Wang could say anything, Rose exaggeratedly exclaimed:
"Hey, Jennie, what are you talking about, you still intend to give this guy a chance? Clearly, he bullied Jisoo and Lisa first on Ao Island, then chased them all the way to Korea, and no matter what means Mr. Park uses to deal with him, it’s just his comeuppance..."
"I just hope things can become simpler, and I don’t want rumors about BlackPink to spread online again after tonight..."
Jennie explained.
"So should I thank you?"
Zhou Wang said with a strange expression, "You know how things could have been simpler? If back then you hadn’t posted lies online inciting public opinion, maybe none of this would be happening today."
"Jennie, this guy is hopeless, just let him fend for himself, soon he’ll realize how foolish his decision was..."
Hearing Zhou Wang’s rejection, Rose breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, worried Jennie’s Holy Mother syndrome would flare up again.
Jennie’s expression became a bit colder, she shook her head at Zhou Wang, seemingly disappointed, "I thought the online rumors were true, that your wealth really was earned by your own efforts..."
Zhou Wang took a moment to understand what she meant by this.
So, if my wealth was earned through my own efforts, I would listen to your advice, instead of "saving face at my own expense"?
Hmm, in other words, your Jennie’s insight equates to the insight of a real billionaire...
And I’m just a lucky nobody?
Zhou Wang really was at a loss for words for a moment.
He had heard Jin Zhixiu describe Jennie’s arrogance, but he never imagined the other party could be this conceited...
However, Zhou Wang then relaxed, Jennie being a Financial Tycoon’s descendant, perhaps among those untouchable second-generation Financial Tycoons in Korea, her condition was probably the mildest.
Suddenly calm, Zhou Wang now looked Jennie up and down and unexpectedly smirked, "I like the way you are now, you should keep it up, in that case, I might even consider giving you a chance..."
This baffling remark from Zhou Wang naturally felt bewildering to Rose and Jennie.
Especially to Jennie, uncertain why Zhou Wang’s gaze made her uncomfortable, she furrowed her brows, her face turned completely cold.
"Mr. Zhou Wang, I don’t know what you’re trying to express, but if you’re already at odds with Mr. Park and still trying to antagonize me, I can only admire your courage."
Buzz!
At this moment, Zhou Wang’s phone vibrated, it was a message from President Jin, and almost simultaneously, Rose also received a message on her phone.
"Mr. Park has arrived, Jennie, let’s go out quickly."
Rose’s eyes lit up, she immediately pocketed her e-cigarette, grabbed the increasingly irritated Jennie, and walked out, not forgetting to give Zhou Wang a "you’ll figure it out yourself" look.
Has Park Jeongyun finally arrived?
Zhou Wang withdrew his attention from Jennie, adjusted his tie, and headed out, genuinely curious about what "surprise" Park Jeongyun, who deliberately arrived late, had prepared for him.
...
When Zhou Wang walked out of the public lounge, President Jin, who was supposed to greet guests at the door, was already waiting there, alongside him was Vice President Li, from the same faction. Upon seeing the two appear, President Jin and Vice President Li immediately approached, their expressions looking quite grave.
"What’s happened?"
Zhou Wang raised an eyebrow, "Old Jin, why do you have a ’lost your parents’ kind of look?"
Due to recent interactions, they had become quite familiar, so President Jin wasn’t offended by Zhou Wang’s crude words...
Because this meant Zhou Wang truly regarded him as one of his own; at another time, President Jin might even cheerfully say with a smirk, "Even if my parents passed away, I wouldn’t be too sad, because I still have you as my support..."
But at this moment, President Jin really wasn’t in the mood for flattering, he worriedly whispered, "Chairman, Park Jeongyun didn’t come alone, he brought other guests."
"Other guests?"
Zhou Wang paused in his tracks.
From the fearful expressions of President Jin and Vice President Li, without them needing to speak, Zhou Wang could instantly guess that these so-called "other guests" were probably some unexpected bigwigs, and were indeed Park Jeongyun’s true trump card.
Just as President Jin was about to explain the identities of these guests, Zhou Wang’s phone suddenly rang, he took a look, his expression immediately turned a bit joyful, and then he gestured for President Jin to stop, and answered the call.
"Charles, you’ve arrived?"
Zhou Wang said a few words on the phone, then smiled, "Alright, in that case, of course, I’ll give you some face and personally come to greet you."
After hanging up, Zhou Wang said to President Jin, "You guys go wait for me in the main hall, I’ll go meet a few friends."
