Zhou Wang’s fingertip gently pressed down, and the black Zippo lighter co-branded with Modoli produced a deep blue flame, lighting the cigarette at the corner of his mouth.

Misty blue smoke rose, temporarily blurring Mu Li’s view beside him, preventing her from discerning anything from Zhou Wang’s subtle expressions.

After a brief silence, Zhou Wang chuckled softly with surprise:

”Cloud Group... Is President Mu talking about that international group started with trust businesses? What does it have to do with me, why do I not know?”

”Why does Mr. Zhou have to beat around the bush with me?”

A hint of resentment flashed across Mu Li’s expression, followed by a sigh: ”I have always been honest with Mr. Zhou, truly opening my heart, even revealing some of Heavenly Palace Group’s secrets to you without reservation. Does Mr. Zhou really think that I’m only trying to probe your identity?”

”President Mu misunderstood, your bold guess is very interesting, but why does President Mu think that a university student who graduated less than a year ago can be connected to a well-established large international group?”

Facing Zhou Wang’s amused counter-question, Mu Li was momentarily speechless.

Seemingly unsure what to say, Mu Li could only speak softly: ”But my relative wouldn’t lie to me...”

This sentence immediately confirmed for Zhou Wang that Mu Li indeed had no solid evidence, she merely believed other people’s statements and considered his appearance as a lifeline.

Zhou Wang rubbed his chin, ”Such absurd claims, yet President Mu believes them, the identity of the counterpart must be high, I’m curious, who is President Mu’s relative?”

”I can’t disclose his identity, but if... Mr. Zhou could cooperate with me, then we’d be on the same side, and naturally there’s no reason to hide anything.”

”Actually, I’m not that curious...”

Zhou Wang chuckled and diverted the topic, then stood up and said, ”Excuse me, I feel a bit full, may I know where the bathroom is?”

”You can leave the room, Lisa will guide you.”

”Then I’ll excuse myself.”

Mu Li watched Zhou Wang walk out of the room, her facial expression suddenly turned delicate.

A mix of disappointment yet a hint of cunning determination.

The disappointment was that Zhou Wang seemed uninterested in the shares she offered for free, which left Mu Li somewhat frustrated.

But the hope that Mu Li could see was Zhou Wang’s reactions right after she exposed his true identity at first glance.

Although Zhou Wang was remarkably sophisticated for his age, if he had zero connection with the acclaimed Cloud Trust, his reaction should not have been so indifferent.

Moreover, using ”bathroom excuse” as a coping method is quite clumsy...

Initially, Mu Li wasn’t very convinced, if this wasn’t said by her high-ranking relative, she would merely scoff.

Now, combined with Zhou Wang’s reaction, a kind of incredible shock appeared in Mu Li’s heart as if belatedly arriving.

Could someone really achieve such things at twenty?

Still unable to fully believe, but prompted by intuition, Mu Li subconsciously took out her phone and dialed a number.

”Lawyer Cheng, it’s me, I need you to draft a formal agreement... Yes, but be sure to keep it strictly confidential.”

While speaking, Mu Li threw the draft agreement into the shredder, pressing the start button.

Gazing at the paper being shredded into fragments with a ”clicking” sound, Mu Li’s eyes were deep, as if she had made some sort of resolution.

...

Normally, Zhou Wang would avoid using toilets outside.

Even though many public toilets now have single-use protective paper, whether that thin translucent film can effectively isolate viruses is still uncertain, so squatting is generally more sanitary.

But today, Zhou Wang broke his principle.

Mainly because this bathroom only had a toilet, and also... according to Lisa, this bathroom is exclusively for President Mu, generally no one else enters.

When Lisa said this, Zhou Wang felt it was more sanitary, so naturally, he had no reason to refuse.

Entering the bathroom, Zhou Wang noticed the toilet’s design, suddenly sensing that although he was not financially inferior to Mu Li, in terms of lifestyle details, indeed still lacked some class—

President Mu’s toilet was a luxury item.

The conspicuous ”Chanel” logo on the toilet’s backrest, and the entire bathroom’s gorgeous gold-plated designs nearly blinded Zhou Wang’s eyes.

(Top luxury bathroom series—Chanel custom-made toilet)

The toilet in classic black and gold, commonly seen on Chanel bags, exudes elegance and refinement, seemingly ”exclusive for wealthy ladies,” paired with the bathroom’s style, and the air had a faint fragrance from one of Chanel’s best-selling perfumes, No. 5...

Zhou Wang hadn’t looked into how much such a custom luxury toilet costs, but sitting on it felt distinctly different.

In the seemingly simple design, meticulously crafted ceramic artistry perfectly combined with modern intelligent technology, equipped with functions like automatic flushing, automatic lid opening, air purification, constant-temperature seat, UV self-cleaning, tank-less direct flushing, among other advanced features.

While relieving himself, Zhou Wang began contemplating enhancing his own life quality, not necessarily extravagant, but certainly these details that showcase class (or flaunt) couldn’t be inferior to others...
