Chapter 185: Chapter 132 The Difference Between Slaughter and Surgery

At 5:30 in the afternoon, in a leisurely manner, Zhou Wang drove the Continental GT to an office building on Chuanjin Road in Ming City.

He couldn’t find the entrance to the underground parking lot, but as soon as the security guard saw his car, without even asking, he removed the “No Outside Vehicles Allowed” sign and guided Zhou Wang to park at the entrance of the office building.

Zhou Wang got out of the car and looked up at this not-so-new office building called “Linlan International” with a bit of emotion.

The reason was simple, he had worked part-time here during college.

Back then, he rode a shared bike here with a few classmates to pack goods for an e-commerce company, worked for seven hours, and earned 150.

At that time, Zhou Wang envied those office workers who spent their time in air-conditioned offices, idling away in front of computers.

“I want to cross my legs in the future too, drink expensive milk tea, and earn money easily.”

That’s what Zhou Wang thought back then.

But at this moment, watching the young people coming and going at the entrance, he suddenly realized.

They were just more advanced cattle and horses…

Passers-by also secretly scrutinized Zhou Wang standing in front of the Bentley, their eyes not only filled with envy but also a mix of disdain or scorn.

This was quite normal, as Zhou Wang himself used to despise people driving luxury cars for various reasons to gain a sense of psychological satisfaction…

Although, in Zhou Wang’s opinion, not bringing the Ferrari was already considered low-key.

Ignoring the gazes of others, Zhou Wang just glanced down at the documents in his hand again.

“Zhenyuan E-commerce Co., Ltd.”

This was the company behind that marketing account, and although the account wasn’t verified, its IP showed it was here.

These days, there were hardly any true personal accounts. The more they claim “no company,” the more suspicious they seem.

After all, the competition was too fierce in every field. Without a professional operations team supporting them, one might occasionally produce a viral hit purely by luck, but it would quickly fade away in silence.

If it hadn’t been for Jiang Qingkui’s help, Zhou Wang might have faced numerous hurdles even finding the company behind this marketing account.

As for the person in charge of the marketing account called “Ming City Observation,” it was a man named Zhang Danian, whose position in the company was marketing manager.

The name of the e-commerce company felt somewhat familiar to Zhou Wang at first glance; he felt like he heard it somewhere before. When he saw the legal representative column, it clicked.

However, Zhou Wang was not sure if it was related to the other party, so he chose to visit directly and see what was going on.

Just as Zhou Wang was about to walk into the office building, a commotion arose from behind.

Curious, he turned around and saw at the entrance of the internal parking lot, a security guard was arguing with a driver who just got out of a car.

What caught Zhou Wang’s attention was the driver’s accent, which was very familiar to him, as it was the distinctive accent of Lu County in Jing City.

Although Zhou Wang grew up in Jing City, his ancestral home was in the underlying Lu County.

To be honest, the dialect there sounded quite harsh, but having not heard it for a long time, it now felt inexplicably endearing.

Zhou Wang glanced at the car that was trying to enter but got blocked, surprisingly, it was a luxury car often underestimated… a Volkswagen Phaeton.

This car had been out of production for some years, with the latest model possibly from 2016, and Zhou Wang hadn’t seen one in a while.

Although this so-called internal parking lot still had quite a few empty spaces, after looking at the Phaeton’s Jing City license plate, Zhou Wang thought for a moment and walked over.

“Hey, let them in, they’re with me.”

Zhou Wang spoke as he handed a pack of cigarettes to the security guard.

“Oh, alright, alright!”

Seeing the pack of Zhonghua cigarettes Zhou Wang handed over, the security guard immediately raised the barrier without another word.

The driver of the Phaeton looked at the Yuxi cigarettes he held in his hand, his face twitching slightly. No wonder his half-hearted attempt at offering cigarettes was ignored…

So, was it his mindset that was small?

Watching the slightly frustrated driver, Zhou Wang secretly chuckled. Actually, it wasn’t about the cigarettes. The main reason was probably that the security guard didn’t recognize that the inconspicuous Volkswagen was actually a luxury car worth a few million.

The Volkswagen Phaeton drove in and parked next to Zhou Wang’s Bentley.

The driver and a middle-aged man from the backseat got out of the car. While the driver marveled at the Bentley, the middle-aged man quickly walked over to shake hands with Zhou Wang, who was waiting for them.

“Young man, thanks for earlier, it’s our first time here, and we couldn’t find the entrance to the underground parking mentioned by the security guard…”

“No worries, the entrance might not be on this street, I couldn’t find it earlier either.”

Zhou Wang replied with a smile.

Upon hearing Zhou Wang’s authentic Lu County accent, the dark-skinned middle-aged man seemed surprised, “Oh, you’re from Lu City too? Which part?”

“My grandmother’s place is in the Sanhe Town area.”

“What a coincidence, I’m also from Sanhe Town, Team Eight of Zhao Village.”

“Oh?” Zhou Wang also found it a bit coincidental, “My grandmother’s home is in Team Two of Zhao Village.”

(Note: Some rural areas are divided into “teams” due to historical reasons.)

After chatting for a bit, Zhou Wang, worried about the approaching end of work hours, greeted the middle-aged man still waiting for a contact from the driver and headed into the elevator first.

Taking the elevator up to the 29th floor, Zhou Wang saw the sign for “Zhenyuan E-commerce.” Young Master Zhang didn’t exaggerate; this company seemed quite strong, having rented an entire floor of the office building, with the reception area right outside the elevator.
