Chapter 780: Chapter 302 Visit, Intoxication, Interlude_3
During Zhou Wang’s polite response, Qi Lingtong’s eyes widened instantly.
A shareholder... Zhou Wang?
Zhou Wang... is a shareholder of Douyin?
Qi Lingtong had considered countless possibilities, never connecting it to this.
Douyin wasn’t Wuyou Media, and its shares couldn’t be bought with just money. Back when the overseas company Tiktok went through nine rounds of financing, which involved top-notch industry giants; not to mention Douyin Group’s parent company equity...
This was not a field that ordinary people could touch.
While Qi Lingtong was feeling stirred inside, Jiang Qingkui, having finally confirmed something, was also unsettled.
Her heart was pounding fiercely, not only because Zhou Wang had quietly done something shocking, but also due to a recent conversation between Zhou Wang and her.
At that time, Zhou Wang was mysterious, suggesting she might be sent to a big group company as a board member. Qingkui found it amusing—big, how big could it be...
But if Zhou Wang meant Douyin Group...
This was a position even Jiingkui dared not imagine.
"Mr. Zhou, please, let me give you a brief tour of our headquarters..."
At this moment, as the pleasantries ended, Jin Lu stepped aside, gesturing invitingly to Zhou Wang.
Zhou Wang nodded and smiled, noticing that Jiang Qingkui was still in a daze. He lightly nudged her, and Jiang Qingkui snapped back to reality, only seeing Zhou Wang giving her a nonchalant glance before striding forward.
Although Zhou Wang said nothing, Jiang Qingkui clearly understood the meaning in his eyes—
Look at you, so inexperienced, this is just the beginning!
Jiang Qingkui bit her lip, wanting to protest, but watching the man with the aura walking towards the bright hall, surrounded by a crowd, she had to admit...
In that moment, Zhou Wang was really quite dashing.
She felt nothing for abs, nor was she enamored by handsome features, but she had no resistance against this side of Zhou Wang.
...
"Ah!"
Just as Zhou Wang, accompanied by Jin Lu and others, entered the hall, maintaining a friendly smile, Wu Lili and Xu Lingyue were standing nervously at the front desk. They finally saw the young man in the center of the crowd.
Xu Lingyue merely froze, but Wu Lili let out an instinctive scream, becoming incredibly excited.
Due to the angle, they hadn’t clearly seen Zhou Wang’s face. They had only glimpsed the young guest personally welcomed by Director Jin Lu.
Only now, seeing Zhou Wang’s revealed appearance, Wu Lili couldn’t believe it. Her idol, whom she admired daily, had suddenly come to life right in front of her, and she couldn’t control herself at first.
This abrupt scream naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
Zhou Wang was the first to turn his head in surprise, and everyone else followed suit.
Already worried something might go wrong, Sister Zhang, who was coordinating from the front desk, hurried over to the distressed Wu Lili, scolding softly, "Wu Lili, are you crazy? What are you doing?"
After shouting, Wu Lili realized her mistake. Initially flustered, she quickly thought of something and calmed down.
She quickly gestured to the still stunned Xu Lingyue beside her, "Yueyue, it’s Zhou Wang... um, Sister Zhang, that’s Xu Lingyue’s friend, so I couldn’t control myself earlier. Sorry!"
"Xu Lingyue’s friend?"
Sister Zhang was mildly surprised. Even if she didn’t know Zhou Wang’s identity, given the level of reception, she could tell this was undoubtedly a big shot.
And he knew intern Xu Lingyue?
While Sister Zhang was puzzled, Wu Lili, no longer afraid, excitedly urged Xu Lingyue, "Yueyue, he’s looking at us... maybe he’s recognized you, hurry and go say hi!"
Initially, Xu Lingyue was incredibly nervous when she realized Zhou Wang had indeed stopped, looking over curiously. Hearing Wu Lili’s words, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.
Could Zhou Wang really have recognized her?
Thinking this, Xu Lingyue instinctively smiled at Zhou Wang.
To her delight, Zhou Wang nodded at her and smiled.
Xu Lingyue, brimming with excitement, preparing her words, was about to leave the front desk when Zhou Wang nodded and smiled at Sister Zhang and Wu Lili, then shifted his gaze back to joking with Jin Lu, continuing forward.
Xu Lingyue’s smile froze, her body stiffening.
"Uh? Didn’t you say she knows Xu Lingyue? Why does it seem they aren’t familiar?"
Sister Zhang coldly questioned Wu Lili, while Xu Lingyue, overwhelmed by disappointment and indescribable embarrassment, watched Zhou Wang go.
Especially because, until Zhou Wang’s group disappeared into the elevator hall, she never got the hoped-for backward glance, making her feel even more ashamed.
"I, I’ll just head to the restroom..."
She couldn’t hear what Sister Zhang and Wu Lili were saying, muttering something hastily before rushing off with her head down.
...
In the elevator, Zhou Wang suddenly exclaimed, "Eh."
"What’s up?"
The curious Jiang Qingkui asked beside him.
"Nothing, just that front desk girl seemed like someone I’ve seen before..."
"Heh, could it be our Mr. Zhou who finds all pretty faces familiar?"
Jiang Qingkui rolled her eyes.
"... Forget it, it’s probably my imagination."
Zhou Wang felt that recently Qingkui was acting oddly, even getting jealous...
But he didn’t bother to dwell on it, waving his hand and moving past the topic.
