Chapter 1827: Chapter 755: Gifts and Recent Events

Most of the time, having multiple close female friends is a very happy thing.

Unfortunately, this "most of the time" doesn’t include holidays.

At that time, Zhou Wang really racked his brains and went to great lengths to safely navigate his birthday, but fortunately, the outcome was still in line with his expectations.

At least for now, these women basically believe he’s in a career slump and won’t pressure him into making difficult choices, the situation is largely stable... If it weren’t for Ding Yi causing trouble during the New Year, it would truly be perfect.

The other benefit laid out by the birthday hints is that even on a sensitive day like Valentine’s Day, Zhou Wang doesn’t have to worry too much about who to accompany or what kind of gift to give.

... He’s wholeheartedly focused on his career, doesn’t need to pay attention to anyone.

But the women clearly haven’t forgotten him, still showering him with their gifts on February 14th.

Due to different shipping cycles and some not knowing his exact address, they directly sent the gifts to Wangzhou Group, and then Xu Wenqian forwarded them, so Zhou Wang didn’t gather all the gifts until early March, and only today did he unwrap them uniformly.

After first sending Yang Hao out, Zhou Wang closed the office door and picked up the first gift box.

"Sent by Lin Ran..."

Zhou Wang glanced at the sender on the gift box, then removed the outer packaging, revealing an orange LV gift box inside.

"Chocolate?"

Opening the box, Zhou Wang took a look, not too surprised.

Lin Ran should be the "poorest" among the women who might give him gifts, after all, just a working class person, with an annual salary of only five or six thousand, considered a low-income group among many women.

Plus, the relationship between her and Zhou Wang is at most a bit ambiguous, considered clear and innocent, so this kind of high-profile yet relatively inexpensive chocolate is just right and fits the Valentine’s Day theme.

"Wishing the boss a smooth journey in life, success in career, and don’t forget to be as sweet as chocolate every now and then!"

Looking at the neat handwriting on the card, Zhou Wang had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

This "sweet household" clearly isn’t Sister Lin Ran’s usual tone, Zhou Wang could imagine her toes curling when writing this sentence, I wonder which wise person advised her.

As Zhou Wang opened them one by one, he found out that among this pile of gifts, there were as many as four boxes of chocolates.

The most expensive one should be the Swarovski diamond-studded chocolate sent by Yu Duo, of course, the sparkling elements were made from edible ingredients, but Zhou Wang checked and found that the box of chocolates was priced as high as ten thousand dollars, considered "top luxury" in the chocolate world.

"Looks like Du Zi is doing well, able to take out nearly a hundred thousand in pocket money again."

Zhou Wang picked a chocolate that didn’t look too sweet and tried it, while smiling knowingly.

Currently, although nominally, the Yu Family regained two major pharmaceutical factories just working for Zhou Wang, due to Yu Duo’s relationship, Zhou Wang was naturally very generous to Yu Zetao.

The factory manager package he offered was a minimum annual salary of ten million plus high equity dividends, and as long as Yu Zetao had enough funds, the factory could be redeemed at cost anytime.

When Yu Zetao returned to Ming City to start up, Zhou Wang advance funded his first year’s base salary through Wangzhou Group’s public account.

So now, although the Yu Family has not returned to their peak, living a middle-class or above lifestyle is still quite easy, Zhou Wang previously heard Yu Duo talking about Mrs. Yu already house hunting, preparing to purchase a residence in Ming City again.

Yu Duo has also roughly returned to her previous state of carefree living, though she’s lost some of her former innocence, making Zhou Wang slightly regretful, as that was what attracted him most about Yu Duo.

"Four identical white shirts?"

Opening Shen Yutong’s gift, Zhou Wang was somewhat bewildered.

He read the card’s instructions immediately afterward and discovered that Shen Yutong hadn’t bought him four white shirts, but rather gifted him a year-long "quarterly delivery service" from Balenciaga.

The designer from Balenciaga would specially design and deliver four white shirts according to different seasons, using Egyptian long-staple cotton for spring and summer, and flannel blends for autumn and winter, with Zhou Wang’s initials on the inner collar, signifying "exclusive."

Due to the identical minimalist design, it’s a lazy person’s blessing, freeing him from the hassle of figuring out what to wear underneath.

"Hmm? The card also has Sister Yu Rou’s name, so... does this count as a joint gift from the two sisters?"

Zhou Wang noticed a detail and couldn’t help but be startled.

Speaking of Shen Yutong’s sister Shan Yurou, Zhou Wang still felt somewhat guilty.

It was an unreasonable, straightforward, domineering way that he provoked her, opening that "ajar door," but ever since leaving White City, they haven’t had the chance to meet again.

The fiery scenes of three visits to Maolu in one day, that captivating, ready-to-act charm, even upon recalling, it still stirred Zhou Wang’s heart.

And Zhou Wang’s sole kindness to her seems to have been transferring fifty thousand yuan over, forced upon her until Shen Yurou finally accepted.

Zhou Wang heard from Shen Yutong that Shen Yurou is now her full-time assistant, following along whenever she shoots or attends events...
