Chapter 181: Chapter 130 Stan (Super Long Chapter)_6

The photo was taken from an overhead angle, shot from inside a bus. In the image was a blue Ferrari stopped before the crosswalk—it was his 812C.

Due to the angle, Zhou Wang’s face in the driver’s seat wasn’t very clear, but the two girls stacked in the passenger seat were unmistakable.

It was Xu Wenqian and Sun Yi…

This photo was obviously taken when Zhou Wang went to Cui Lake Yipin to look at a house and was snapped while waiting at a red light.

Zhou Wang was somewhat puzzled as to how such a photo ended up in Jiang Qingkui’s hands.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Wang typed again, “Send location.”

Soon, Jiang Qingkui sent the location of a coffee shop.

Zhou Wang put away his phone and, with a sense of responsibility towards his teammates, continued to operate Yasuo on the screen.

But just five minutes later, seeing the barrage of insults from all four teammates as “Thorsuo,” Zhou Wang twitched the corner of his mouth, angrily chose to go AFK in the spring water, changed his clothes, and informed Xu Wenqian before heading out.

…

Driving a Bentley Continental GT, Zhou Wang arrived at the Cui Lake branch of Man Coffee.

From her choice of location, Zhou Wang vaguely sensed Jiang Qingkui’s meticulousness, assuming she did it on purpose.

The reason was simple: Man Coffee was one of the few chain coffee shops offering indoor smoking areas.

Jiang Qingkui herself didn’t smoke, which showed she had fully considered his preferences.

After parking, Zhou Wang arrived at the second floor of the café and saw Jiang Qingkui in a window-side corner.

She was still wearing a long, lightweight windbreaker, gray in color, with a black shirt inside and jeans on the bottom—nothing from luxury brands, yet inexplicably exuded a sense of sophistication on her.

The key was that Jiang Qingkui’s style didn’t quite align with Zhou Wang’s perception of an advanced intellectual. Although her face had the unique softness of an Oriental beauty, her demeanor was rather spirited.

Perhaps because she appeared to have a cooler demeanor…

Her slightly curled long hair draped to one side, and most of her slender figure was concealed by the windbreaker, yet the side profile hinted at an excellent waist-to-hip ratio.

When Zhou Wang approached, Jiang Qingkui saw him too, and she offered a faint smile, standing up to extend her hand to Zhou Wang.

“Zhou Wang, long time no see, please forgive me for not recognizing you that day.”

“Sister Qingkui, hello, you’ve changed quite a bit yourself.”

She didn’t use his childhood nickname directly, indicating her mindset, but Zhou Wang didn’t act overly familiar and still smiled, calling her “sister.”

After all, Jiang Qingkui was a full six years older than him.

“I ordered a pot of tea, Xiao Qinggan, will you have some or…”

After they sat down, Jiang Qingkui inquired.

Zhou Wang was momentarily stunned, not expecting her to choose a coffee shop but then order tea. However, he didn’t mind and nodded, “Tea will do.”

“This is for you.”

Before Zhou Wang could start a conversation, Jiang Qingkui took a gift box from the floor beside her and placed it in front of him.

Zhou Wang was taken aback. Upon opening the box, he was surprised to find, “Is this… Eminem’s album?”

Inside the box was none other than the famous album by the renowned Beautiful Country white rapper Eminem, his third studio album, “The Marshall Mathers LP.”

The album title might not be familiar, but Eminem’s very famous song “Stan” was on this album.

The key point was…

“How do you know I like Eminem?”

Zhou Wang was a bit surprised.

“I recently tried to remember, vaguely recalling you were into rap in middle school, and guys who like rap are unlikely not to like Eminem, right?”

Jiang Qingkui offered a faint smile, “Coincidentally, I also came to like this artist while studying abroad… You might want to look at the back of the album.”

Hearing this, Zhou Wang flipped the album over and truly felt a thrill of delight.

Because on the back of the album was Eminem’s handwritten signature, along with a blessing message.

This undoubtedly elevated the preciousness of the album by leaps and bounds.

“Sister Qingkui, your gift… has left me unable to refuse!”

At this moment, Zhou Wang realized Jiang Qingkui came prepared and couldn’t help but marvel.

“You probably guessed the purpose I wish to discuss with you.”

Jiang Qingkui placed the poured tea in front of Zhou Wang, getting straight to the point: “I won’t use past ties to bind you, although strictly speaking, we weren’t really familiar back then… Talking solely business, I hope you’d help me because you recognize my capability.”

Saying this, Jiang Qingkui pulled out a business plan from her bag, but as she opened it, Zhou Wang noticed something else.

“What’s that plane ticket?”

Zhou Wang asked curiously.

“A ticket to take me to Peng City the day after tomorrow. Although I am reluctant to admit it, I’ve already wasted over a month’s time; you might be my last hope. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll be heading to Hong Kong to teach.”

Jiang Qingkui stated frankly.

Zhou Wang glanced at the pile of thick Chinese-English bilingual business plans, but didn’t open them, instead thinking for a moment before asking, “How much money do you need?”

“Twenty million… At least fifteen million to support the start.”

Jiang Qingkui first reported a number, hesitated slightly, then stated her bottom line.

Hearing this, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but smack his lips; this Sister Qingkui’s ambition was indeed significant—a start-up requiring an eight-figure investment…

He had originally thought that with the abilities Jiang Qingkui exhibited, pulling some funds together here and there, a hundred or eight hundred thousand would still have some hope, but asking for ten or twenty million right off the bat, it was no wonder she ran into walls everywhere.

Doing well academically doesn’t mean you’re strong in other things too, especially in cross-industry ventures; who the hell is daring enough to invest money in that?

He didn’t ask why Jiang Qingkui believed he had such funds, but since he met with her today, Zhou Wang also needed to start executing his own plans.

Zhou Wang set down the teacup and said with a smile, “Sister Qingkui, I have another proposal. Would you like to hear it?”
