Chapter 429: Chapter 199: The Bullet from Years Ago

Zhang Shihao went off to communicate with the other stockholders to confirm Zhou Wang’s appointment, while Zhou Wang lit a cigar and sat by the window, lost in thought.

This was his first time smoking a cigar.

Zhou Wang had previously watched a movie called "Godfather" and thought that this thing really seemed classy...

Of course, in today’s era, the cigar, stripped of its mysterious veil, was no longer considered a luxury, although Zhou Wang knew the "Cohiba Behike 56" that Zhang Shihao threw his way was probably anything but cheap.

Zhang Shihao hadn’t given him any instructions on the so-called correct way to smoke a cigar, he just casually tossed one to him, said "Wanna try one?" and then made a phone call.

So, with curiosity, Zhou Wang just smoked it casually to try it out.

He knew that cigars were primarily about savoring the aroma that lingered between the lips and teeth, but perhaps because, in essence, he was still a country bumpkin, he really couldn’t get what was interesting about tobacco that didn’t go through the lungs...

As the cigar in his hand burned away, Zhou Wang’s mind stayed in the system interface.

To be honest, when he saw the first wave of system prompts, Zhou Wang wasn’t very stirred.

If it had been a month earlier, seeing such generous rewards, Zhou Wang would have been bursting with excitement, especially with houses, cars, and watches all being given away, but now...

His threshold had risen.

As for the Maybach, he wouldn’t even mention it, since everyone was familiar with it, given that anyone on TikTok could make some comments, seriously debating which interior looked better.

According to the system’s description, "Binjiang · Yinxianghui" was one of the most famous river-view apartments in Hang City, a dream home for countless people, and the original reward system intended to give him was the largest unit inside, valued at over 50 million.

After the reward reset, the Maybach S680 turned into a Rolls-Royce Phantom, which was like the difference between several million turning into over ten million, which was a bit of a pleasant surprise.

But the real kicker was the property swap.

"Green City Peach Blossom" could be said to be one of the top properties in Hang City, and from certain angles, it might even stand as "the" top.

It was recognized by many as one of Huaxia’s top ten villas, a style extremely favored by some seasoned tycoons, with many famous personalities owning properties there.

For instance, Jack Ma, known for creating the "Forty Thieves", and the old Ding from NetEase.

Of course, whether the properties were gifted to them or purchased by them was unknown...

Zhou Wang guessed that they probably wouldn’t live there long-term, as these magnates were unlikely to expose their actual residences to the public eye.

But regardless of how much of this community’s reputation was due to marketing, it was undeniable that this was undoubtedly one of the top luxury homes in Hang City.

The set the system gifted him had an estimated value of around 160 million yuan, likely not the best among them, but not too far off.

Its value on paper was not much different from his top-tier apartment in Ming City, but based on location and size, the average price was much higher than that of the Spring Eye apartment.

After all, the Spring Eye was in Ming City Center, while the Peach Blossom Village was over in Old Yuhang, away from the bustling area of Hang City, featuring classical Jiangnan-style garden mansions with a registered area of over 900 square meters, but the actual land area exceeded six acres...

As for the last two watches, Zhou Wang didn’t pay them much mind, feeling like they were just icing on the cake.

But upon reconsideration, he thought it wasn’t a sure thing, given they were random models. What if he randomly got the most expensive ones from Patek Philippe and Richard Mille?

If Zhou Wang remembered correctly, watches with a public price over ten million from Patek Philippe were not rare, and there seemed to be one valued at over 200 million.

Though it wasn’t very likely, it was something to look forward to, a little.

...

Before long, Zhang Shihao returned, and this time they spoke much more casually, chatting about everything from the misty rain of Jiangnan in Suzhou and Hang City to the romantic scenery of Yunan Province, even chuckling together over some risqué topics...

But they didn’t talk about business.

It wasn’t until another hour had passed that Zhang Shihao glanced at his Rolex Green Gold Daytona, stood up, and with a smile said, "Shall we, Mr. Zhou? The other stockholders have arrived."

The appointment of the supervisor was not something Zhang Shihao could decide alone; it had to be passed by a stockholders’ meeting.

Zhou Wang wasn’t sure if he had been prepared in advance. Either way, it took him less than two hours to gather the other four stockholders.

Entering the meeting room, Zhou Wang met the four other stockholders.

There was a representative from the Zhang Group and three individual stockholders...

Though Zhou Wang couldn’t be sure if it was just his imagination, while everyone looked dignified and like successful people, he couldn’t shake the feeling they were all just puppets...

The stockholders’ meeting proceeded unusually fast, as there was only one agenda item, the "supervisory election."

The previous supervisor hadn’t even attended; instead, Zhang Shihao submitted a resignation on his behalf to the stockholders’ meeting.

The whole process took less than twenty minutes, and with four votes in favor and one abstention, Zhou Wang was successfully elected as the new supervisor of Wuyou Media.

The normal term was three years, but if Zhou Wang wanted to resign earlier, it didn’t really matter.

Zhang Shihao also explicitly told Zhou Wang that the position of deputy general manager would be kept open for him anytime.

After the stockholders’ meeting concluded, Zhang Shihao personally escorted Zhou Wang to the office.

"Old buddy, there’s only one suitable office for you at the moment, so you might not have any choice..."

On the way, Zhang Shihao said to Zhou Wang with an apologetic tone.

Zhou Wang quickly waved his hand, "I have no requirements for the office, anyway, I won’t be in the company often, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit bare."
