Chapter 1690 - 686: Elder Sisters Know How to Care (Part 2)

Chapter 1690: Chapter 686: Elder Sisters Know How to Care (Part 2)

He just felt a bit emotional, Miss Yang is really quite loyal...

Their relationship was at most a bit more ambiguous than just friends, but Miss Yang didn’t even know the truth of the matter and chose to post a message wishing him a happy birthday, which shows she was willing to stand by him unconditionally.

"As expected, older sisters are more caring, the older they get, the more so..."

After feeling emotional, Zhou Wang continued browsing online.

Actually, Miss Yang wasn’t the only one who wished him a happy birthday, but she probably had the largest number of fans among them.

Among the celebrities, what surprised Zhou Wang was that Wang Jiale, whom he had only met once in Korea, also reposted Miss Yang’s Weibo and similarly said "Happy Birthday" to him.

What made Zhou Wang even more amused was that a possibly black fan questioned Wang Jiale online, and Wang immediately clapped back.

Considering Zhou Wang had only met him once and at such a controversial time, Wang didn’t care to protect his reputation. He could have just done nothing, so it showed that this guy was quite genuine...

Oh, Miss Gu also posted a Weibo, but it was at midnight last night. Zhou Wang just checked it, and the post was still there, not deleted, with the comment count rapidly rising.

Apart from these people in the entertainment circle, some business tycoons in Beidou and Magic City who like to go online also either reposted or left birthday wishes in Zhou Wang’s comment section.

However, their fan count was relatively low, so they weren’t as eye-catching. But any netizen who saw it was amazed and thought this mysterious "Mr. Zhou" was even more incredible.

Moreover, many influencers from Wuyou Media also posted online, like Lin Dantong, who even made a Douyin post, creating a birthday transformation video for Zhou Wang, full of sincerity.

After consuming various gossip about himself online for a long time, Zhou Wang discovered that quite a few of his previous affairs had been dug up by marketing accounts.

There were earlier rumors about some internet celebrities, and all kinds of outrageous speculations about his background, which made Zhou Wang amused.

Riiing...

Zhou Wang’s phone suddenly vibrated, it was a call from Xu Wenqian.

Glancing at it, Zhou Wang promptly hung up the phone without hesitation.

But Xu Wenqian kept calling persistently, as if she would not stop unless Zhou Wang answered.

From Xu Wenqian’s obstinacy, Zhou Wang sensed something.

He stopped scrolling the internet and, looking at Xu Wenqian’s incoming call screen, mumbled to himself:

"Looks like you’ve finally realized it, Qianqian, come on, there are some things only you can say for me..."

Then, Zhou Wang once again silently hung up on Xu Wenqian’s call and switched his phone to silent mode.

He leisurely lay down on the recliner and asked Qu Peining to bring him some cigarettes and red wine. After waving everyone away, he smoked and drank wine while zoning out at the sky.

That lonely, desolate demeanor made Qu Peining feel both bewildered and inexplicably empathetic from a distance.

...

Wangzhou Group, President’s Office.

A strange atmosphere seemed to have lingered since the start.

But everyone in this room had their minds set on Zhou Wang’s whereabouts, deploying their networks to search for him, and in this busyness, barely maintained a subtle balance.

And the distribution within the room was quite interesting.

Apart from Xu Lingyue, who was busy serving tea and water, the women in the room seemed to silently demarcate their own "territories."

In the guest area near the door, Sun Xining and Lisa sat in the corner, whispering to each other, trying their best to become invisible, to avoid drawing attention.

On the adjacent long sofa, the Colorful sisters who arrived later sat in a row. Shen Yutong and Yu Duo appeared very reserved, but Su Yajing and Cui Min’er didn’t deliberately lower their voices, and amidst their glances, they also quietly observed the other women.

Then there was the central area, where Jiang Qingkui, holding a phone, occasionally talked with someone on the other end, walking back and forth as if silently declaring herself the master here.

Qi Jiayi stood folding her arms beside, seemingly without any intention of vying, but she didn’t leave either.

Next to the floor-to-ceiling window with the best view, Ding Yi and Jiang Mo stood there, in an interesting posture.

Jiang Mo was looking out the window, seemingly unwilling to make eye contact with others, but Ding Yi leaned against the window, with her bright face turned towards everyone. Whenever someone glanced at her, she quickly looked back, causing the one she met eyes with to guiltily look away.

Ultimately, there’s Miss Di and Miss Gu, the two celebrities standing at the less conspicuous corner of the other side of the room’s floor-to-ceiling window.

However, the two big stars from Jiang Province, though standing together, hardly exchanged words, yet an implicit sense of estrangement between them was obvious... quite apparent at the moment.

At this moment, there was another rustling at the office door.

The women, having all turned into "sensitive skin modes," subconsciously paused and collectively directed their gaze over, perhaps wondering if another enchanting temptress charmed by Zhou Wang had arrived.

But this time, a man, oh no, not just one, but a group walked in through the office door.

Though aside from Young Master Zhang leading in, Shao Xiaoqi, Guo Bing, and the rest, upon seeing the setup in the office, hesitated and then tactfully retreated their heads and silently backed out.

As Young Master Zhang walked too fast, seeing the women’s gazes converging on him, he didn’t make it out in time and had to bravely offer an awkward yet polite smile, nodding to the women in the office.

Merely looking around made his neck a bit sore, not helping but draw a silent complaint from Young Master Zhang.

"I figured Zhou Wang would have lots of women, but this... is just too many."

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for coming all the way here,"

Jiang Qingkui courteously approached, shaking hands with Young Master Zhang.

Because of the collaborative Miao Village project, she was somewhat familiar with Young Master Zhang. Earlier, when Young Master Zhang called Jiang Qingkui to briefly explain what they found, she asked them to come directly.

"Ding Yi, Senior Sister Jiang, and Yutong, long time no see."

Young Master Zhang greeted Ding Yi, Jiang Mo, and Shen Yutong, abruptly realizing he actually knew quite a few of Zhou Wang’s women.

Jiang Qingkui also observed this point, but she wasn’t in the mood to investigate deep into it, instead quickly asking, "Mr. Zhang, did you mention on the phone that Zhou Wang left your small group, is that right?"

"Yes, and that’s exactly where I find it odd. A guy like Brother Dog usually wouldn’t do that to us as his friends, unless there’s something unavoidable..."

Zhang Zhiyuan explained.

"Since you’ve come, wait a moment. I’ve checked the surveillance and already know which car Mr. Zhou left in... mm, Junior Ding Yi asked someone to help, so we should soon know roughly where he went."

"Understood."

Upon hearing that Ding Yi was willing to help, Young Master Zhang didn’t bring up their potential help, knowing they definitely wouldn’t have a resource advantage over Ding Yi on this... even if this was Magic City.

"No matter what’s going on, finding the person first is the priority."

Young Master Zhang very much supported Jiang Qingkui’s sensible approach.

Right then, another woman briskly entered the office, although this woman was certainly not listed as a threat by Jiang Qingkui.

"Wenxi, where have you been?"

To be honest, seeing Xu Wenqian only appearing now, Jiang Qingkui was slightly surprised.

Because she knew, considering the depth of feelings, among so many women present, perhaps few surpassed Xu Wenqian’s affection for Zhou Wang.

Logically, with Zhou Wang "missing," she should have been the most anxious.

"I, I went to verify a few things..."

Xu Wenqian clearly looked a bit absent-minded, and upon close observation, her face was a bit pale. She barely smiled at Jiang Qingkui, "Sister Qingkui, I have something very important, can I talk to you somewhere private?"

The implication being she wanted to avoid other people.

Other women hadn’t reacted yet to these words, but Ding Yi was the first to raise her eyebrows.
