Chapter 121 Current Career Opportunities for Art Students

In the private room of the club restaurant.

When Zhou Wang and Ding Yi walked in, they immediately heard a burst of booing and a meaningful “ah”.

The others were fine, but among the boys, Zhou Wangquan was the loudest one making the most noise. It was mainly the girls whom Zhou Wangquan didn’t know who looked at him with strange eyes.

Ding Yi didn’t seem shy. Instead, he smiled and pulled Zhou Wang over, and took the initiative to introduce him to others.

“Wen Wan, the elder sister who grew up with me in the neighborhood, usually takes good care of me…”

“This is Xiao He, my classmate in high school, a very interesting girl…”

“Qu Jiayi, who just returned from studying in Europe, opened a coffee shop in Mingcheng…”

“…”

There were about four or five girls, and Ding Yi introduced them all one by one, and finally pointed at Zhou Wang.

“Here, he is Zhou Wang, my college classmate. Oh, and he has already treated you to a meal!”

Several girls originally felt that Zhou Wang’s name was very familiar, and after Zhou Wang reminded them, they all remembered it one after another.

“Oh, so you are the mysterious Mr. Zhou? No wonder~”

Xiao He, who looked the most lively, greeted Zhou Wang with a giggle.

“You are so sweet.”

Zhou Wang knew that the other party was talking about the birthday party. At that time, he had not figured out how to face Ding Yi, so he did not show up.

Just hearing that the other party also called her “Xiao He”, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but look at her a few more times.

Well, it’s definitely not just one person… because Xiao He, who gave him attentive service, didn’t have such a tempting tattoo on her collarbone.

Besides, it is impossible for Xiao He from the Golden Palace to sit here wearing a set of high-end PRADA ready-to-wear clothes.

After Ding Yi introduced each other, several girls started joking with Zhou Wang, mainly to test his relationship with Ding Yi.

“There’s nothing to hide. I did pursue Ding Yi before.”

Zhou Wang said calmly.

“What about now?” asked the sister with the best temperament, named Wen Wan.

“Wuhu, no gossip, dinner is ready!”

At this time, the waiter came in to serve the dishes. Ding Yi did not give Zhou Wang a chance to answer and pulled him to sit on the other side.

Originally, there was only one seat reserved next to Zhang Zhiyuan. At this time, Zhou Yiqun on the other side consciously made way for it and sat closer to the girls, and laughed at Zhou Wang.

“Thanks to Brother Gou’s help, I can sit next to my sisters!”

“Complete each other…”

Zhou Wang quickly bowed, keeping a very humble attitude.

Amidst laughter, Zhou Wang finally took his seat, and only then did Zhang Zhiyuan nod at Zhou Wang.

“You are so good, Zhou Wang. The more I get to know you, the less I recognize you!”

Zhang Zhiyuan complained helplessly, “Even if you say this club is yours, I don’t think I will be surprised.”

“Not yet, but I might buy it later if I feel like drinking it.”

Zhou Wang glanced at the progress bar on the system interface that had reached “80%” and said half-jokingly.

“Then I’ll say ‘You’re awesome.'”

Zhang Zhiyuan laughed and didn’t take it seriously. After all, he had met the owner of this club before.

He was very sure that it was definitely not Zhou Wang.

“You’re not the only one who’s saying this. We all have to say ‘you’re awesome’. If we buy whatever we see, won’t we become the Batman of Ming City?”

Tang Yiming also smiled and continued.

“Ah……”

At this moment, a soft sneer sounded nearby, just loud enough for everyone to hear.

Zhou Wang raised his eyebrows and looked over. As expected, it was Tu Ge again.

The others also frowned a little, but Tu Ge just laughed and didn’t say anything else, although the disdain between his eyebrows was obvious.

Mingcheng Batman?
You guys are really good at bragging!

Especially since this was said by Tang Yiming, who had just sold him out, Tu Ge found it even funnier.

Zhou Wang felt a little annoyed, but the other party didn’t say anything extra after all. He didn’t want to ruin the good atmosphere at the moment, so he pretended not to hear and started chatting with Zhang Zhiyuan again.

Although there were many people at the dinner today, the atmosphere was very good with both men and women chatting and laughing. Girls like “Sisi” who Zhou Wang saw following Young Master Zhang and the others last time did not show up today.

Zhou Wang knew that Zhang Zhiyuan was intentionally trying to strike a balance and make this gathering more “friendly”. He accepted the other party’s kindness and intentionally responded to the topic, and the dinner was proceeding in a harmonious atmosphere.

It was agreed that Zhou Wang would treat the dinner, but the wine was brought by Zhang Zhiyuan.

Two boxes of six-bottle Feitian Moutai and a box of red wine that Zhou Wang couldn’t name.

Having gotten drunk last night, Zhou Wang felt a little headache when he saw the white liquor, but as for alcohol, once you start drinking, you can’t care about so much.

At this time, Zhou Wang discovered the benefits of having Ding Yi sitting next to him. When there were things that he was not convenient to say, Ding Yi would directly block them for him, and all of them were the kind that left the other party speechless.

Of course, no matter what, he couldn’t avoid the fate of being passively beaten. Fortunately, it was just a one-sip cup. As long as he controlled the rhythm and didn’t drink too fast, and supplemented it with ice mineral water, Zhou Wang was not too weak.

When it was Brother Ruan’s turn to come over and toast, he saw Ding Yi chatting with the girls, so he moved closer and started a conversation with Zhou Wang about a very interesting topic.

“Brother Gou, are you interested in going abroad with us later?”

Zhou Wang didn’t care too much about the fact that Brother Ruan, who was almost 30 years old, called him Brother Dog. He didn’t know if it was because of Zhou Yiquan’s howl just now, but now almost everyone called him that.

After hearing what the other party said, Zhou Wang remembered that this Ruan brother was the owner of a travel company. He asked curiously:

“Going abroad? Where?”

I don’t know if it’s embarrassing to say this, but Zhou Wang has never been abroad in his life. If the system hadn’t come, who knows if he would have the chance to see the scenery abroad in this life.

Therefore, this topic really aroused his interest.

“Southeast Asia… the route is to go to Annan first, then to Thailand, and then to Singapore, a total of three stops, and finally return to China. The estimated trip is about half a month.”

“Why do you want to go to Annan first?”

Given Mingcheng’s geographical location, it is indeed very convenient to travel to Southeast Asia. However, Zhou Wang doesn’t quite understand. Don’t most people go directly to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand?

Annan is said to be very poor and there doesn’t seem to be anything fun to do there!
“Ahem, because there is Ho Chi Minh City in Annan, and as a customized dark tour itinerary, it must be the first stop that cannot be avoided.”

Brother Ruan lowered his voice.

“What is Dark Tour?”

Zhou Wang was confused.

“As the name suggests, it’s a trip that travel agencies won’t provide on paper, you know… Believe me, the sisters in Southeast Asia won’t let you down!”

“…You guys are playing so extravagantly?”

Zhou Wang probably understood what Brother Ruan meant. Well, he just wanted to experience the alternative customs of Southeast Asia…

“Similar routes are not limited to Southeast Asia. I can arrange for those in Kimchi Country and Cherry Blossom Country. There are also some in China, such as Hai Province, but there are too many people going there, which makes it less interesting.”

Brother Ruan smiled and said, “As for me, I am providing benefits for my brothers. I will organize it myself, so it is definitely more exciting than the usual routes. You don’t have to worry about safety. We basically do it twice a year, with top-level private security services throughout the trip. The places we go to are also carefully selected, so there is a basic guarantee for public security.”

“Well, I’m not worried about that.”

Although he was somewhat tempted, Zhou Wang thought for a moment and said, “Wait for me to think about it, and then I will give you an answer.”

“OK, there’s still some time left, no rush.”

Brother Ruan walked away with a smile, and Zhou Wang made a “tsk” sound and felt that he saw another half-open door.

Dark Tour… sounds interesting.

It’s only half a month. Will the test that Yaozi faces be too severe?

At this time, the round of toasts ended and everyone started to eat. The atmosphere was still joyful.

Except for a few people who said nothing. Brother Ruan toasted Zhou Wang a glass of wine and came back. He glanced at Brother Tu who was sitting still next to him, thought for a while and asked: “Xiao Tu, they are the landlord today, you really don’t want to toast them a glass?”

“So what if he treated me to a meal? I’m not here for his sake.”

No one was paying attention to them at this time, so Tu Ge spoke without hesitation and just sneered, “You don’t really think this Zhou guy has any ability, do you?”

“Forget about Young Master Zhang. After all, we all know how we met him. But Ding Yi’s attitude towards him is also very unusual. Isn’t this enough to explain the problem?”

Brother Ruan felt that Brother Tu was a little crazy, so he tried to persuade him.

“They are just born with good looks. One is good at pretending, and the other is superficial. What does that mean?”

However, it would have been better if Brother Ruan didn’t mention this. Once Ding Yi was mentioned, Brother Tu felt even more uncomfortable and even made a sarcastic remark about Ding Yi.

Brother Ruan also realized that he had said the wrong thing. After all, Brother Tu couldn’t even get a WeChat message, and he just heard a few girls chattering. Zhou Wang and Ding Yi… were walking back hand in hand.

Brother Ruan shook his head, not knowing how to explain this problem.

After all, a second-generation person like Tu Ge, whose looks are not very flattering and who has no extra temperament, is almost equivalent to having no experience in dating.

In his impression, women would lie down obediently as long as he paid money. If they didn’t, it must be because the money was not enough.

This view is not wrong, but how should I put it? If you understand people’s hearts better and cooperate with money, you will be successful in everything. If you only know how to spend money, it will always be a bit low…

After reaching a certain level, it becomes a bit unpresentable.

“He even bought this club. It’s fucking funny. Who does he think he is? The boss has been running it for so many years. The connections he has are worth so much money. How could he possibly sell it to him?”

Tu Ge sneered to himself.

Brother Ruan did not respond because he knew that it was impossible for Brother Tu to be friends with Zhou Wang again.

For a moment, he began to hesitate whether to remove Tu Ge from the tour group list, assuming that Zhou Wang really decided to go…

But to be honest, Tu Ge’s last sentence does make some sense. Even if Zhou Wang really has the financial resources, it is unrealistic for him to buy this club.

Of course, everyone knows that this is a joke, and no one takes it seriously except Tu Ge.

……

On the other side, after three rounds of drinks, Zhou Wang, who was chatting with Ding Yi about his college days, suddenly heard a prompt from the system.

Ding!
【Real interaction success】

[The lawyer representative commissioned by the system has successfully signed a contract with the original owner of the ‘Dianwang Club’, and all property rights will be transferred within 24 hours]

done?

Zhou Wang looked at the time. Only two hours had passed. The system was really efficient.

Although the final formalities could not be completed until daytime working days, the contract had been signed and he had in fact become the new owner of this top club.

For a moment, Zhou Wang looked around with a slightly different gaze.

Speaking of which, based on his current feeling, this club is really good, at least the service is very meticulous.

Two waitresses wearing cheongsams and masks were busy the whole time, pouring wine, changing plates, serving food, and handing out tissues. The details were impeccable, and no one was asked to greet them proactively.

The environment of the private room is also very nice. It is divided into multiple areas, with a small bridge and flowing water in the middle. Although it may not be the style that young people like, it is at least spacious enough.

On the other side of the private room, there is a tea table where a young lady in charge of tea art is brewing Kung Fu tea and providing it to guests in need.

As for other areas of the club, he has not experienced them yet and cannot comment on them for now.

At this moment, the doorbell rang. The waiter went to open the door, and then saw the manager of the club walked in with an apologetic smile.

This manager had come to toast him once before, and Zhou Wang still remembered his last name, He.

Manager He walked over quickly and smiled at everyone, “Excuse me, it’s time for the evening show. Today we have arranged a folk art and dance performance to entertain everyone. Are you interested in watching it?”

“Take a look?”

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and looked at Zhou Wang, asking, “The talent shows in this club have always been very unique. They are not the kind of makeshift troupes you see outside. You shouldn’t be disappointed.”

And there are programs?

Because there were girls present, Zhou Wang guessed that this would not be the kind of show that would gather energy, so there was nothing wrong with just watching it, so he smiled and nodded.

It’s just right, it can be regarded as another perspective to understand more about the industry I have acquired.

The others had no objections either, and the girls even seemed more interested than the boys.

After Zhou Wang nodded, Manager He walked out quickly. A moment later, three young ladies wearing cheongsam and veil on their faces walked in. They were holding different musical instruments in their hands, namely guzheng, pipa and flute.

They came to the performance area on one side of the private room and sat down, leaving the middle seat empty.

Then, three more young ladies came in.

As soon as these three girls appeared, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Compared with the three girls who were responsible for playing musical instruments, these three young ladies were not only taller, but their cheeks, half of which were covered by the veil, were also particularly delicate. They were obviously beautiful women with superior looks.

They no longer wore cheongsams, but blue and white ancient costume long skirts. Although there was nothing revealing, they had their own charm.

Among the three girls in charge of dancing, the one that attracted Zhou Wang’s attention the most was the one standing on the right.

Although she is not in the C position, some of her capital is too strong…

The curvy waist, like a thin willow branch, holds up the two extremely bulky fruits and accommodates the round full moon below.

This figure is really amazing.

Just from the perspective of plumpness, she is a female warrior. Su Yajing is no match for her.

But Zhou Wang looked at it and found that it looked familiar…

“Zhou Wang, hold back, Ding Yi is still here!”

At this time, the prelude of the instrument had already sounded. Perhaps seeing that Zhou Wang was a little absent-minded, Zhang Zhiyuan couldn’t help but cough lightly to remind him.

Zhou Wang didn’t know how to explain it for a moment, he just felt that it was really a coincidence, how could this really happen?

Although the other person was wearing a veil and had heavy makeup on her eyebrows and eyes, it was really hard to recognize her from a distance. But Zhou Wang had already been suspicious because Yu Duo mentioned it to him, so he saw the clues at a glance.

That’s right, the dancer with the unsuitable figure was Shen Yutong.

The main thing…the big throw that cannot be concealed is the opponent’s most conspicuous feature.

Zhou Wang didn’t expect that this was the part-time job that Shen Yutong had found for the summer vacation as Yu Duo mentioned. He looked at the other five girls again. Judging from their postures, they were all professionals…

Hmm, could this be what is said on the Internet about the current career situation of ordinary art students?
But after all, it was just a performance to make a living, so Zhou Wang didn’t look down on Shen Yutong. He just suddenly thought that this joke was a little funny.

At the same time, Shen Yutong, who was standing in the performance area across the small bridge and flowing water, naturally saw Zhou Wang and others at a glance.

She was stunned and flustered for a moment, and even couldn’t help wanting to speak. As the instruments played, Shen Yutong quickly showed her professionalism and subconsciously followed the dance.

As time passed, perhaps because she saw that Zhou Wang did not show anything unusual on his face, and Young Master Zhang and others did not recognize her, Shen Yutong gradually calmed down.

Maybe because of some inexplicable psychological reason, Shen Yutong, with her head slightly lowered, danced even harder than usual.

Zhou Wang also put aside other thoughts and began to concentrate on appreciating this song and dance with rich classical characteristics.

No wonder the ancient nobles loved this art. It seems that it was not just due to the lack of entertainment…

Putting aside other things, the whole song and dance is really pleasing to the eye. Shen Yutong is worthy of her background in folk dance. Although her level is not as impressive as the girl in the middle, at least her basic skills are still online.

When the song ended, everyone applauded.

Six girls came to the front of the stage and said blessing in unison according to ancient customs, and the performance was over.

However, they did not leave immediately. Instead, led by the smiling Manager He, they came to the dining table, drank tea instead of wine, and toasted everyone to thank the guests on behalf of the club.

Shen Yutong was the last one to fall behind. In order to avoid being recognized by Zhang Zhiyuan and others, she kept her head down deliberately. However, she couldn’t help but secretly looked up and glanced at Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang made eye contact with Shen Yutong, and he just blinked at her without speaking to her.

Shen Yutong, who was a little nervous at first, knew that Zhou Wang was trying to avoid her embarrassment in this way. She was grateful and smiled at Zhou Wang with a smile on her face.

However, when the two exchanged glances, a playful voice sounded.

“Oh, what a coincidence, isn’t this our Yutong?”
