Financial freedom starts with the pursuit of a cool female doctor

Chapter 142 Men

"What's going on? Why are they taking out so much wine all at once? They're probably going to have to clear out the entire inventory."

"I don't know, could it be that someone is going to throw a party?"

"Didn't the person in booth number one treat everyone to fine wines before? Will it be him again this time?"

"Damn, that wine costs over a thousand yuan a bottle. There are twenty-four tables here, including the small tables and booths. If each table has one bottle, that's over thirty thousand yuan."

"I hate rich people. Even if they're in a good mood, they don't spend money like this."

"You hate something? You're just envious and jealous."

"Something's not right. It seems like there are more than one bottle per table, maybe three bottles per table?"

Before the passersby could reach a conclusion, a waiter came over carrying three bottles of Noble Gourmand in both hands and put them down.

"Three bottles at one table? The owner of booth number one must be a bit tipsy. Is he trying to clear out his stock?"

However, the moment the idea left his lips, the smiling waiter shook his head in rejection:

"One of the bottles was a gift from booth number one, and the other two were a gift from booth number twenty-four."

"So... counting the previous bottle, both number one and number twenty-four gave each table two bottles of Ming Shi?"

"That's right, booth number 24 said that if booth number 1 gives them a bottle, they'll give them one too."

The waiter was about to explain the feud between number one and number twenty-four when the supervisor called him through the earpiece:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come over to move the wine. We're already so busy, how can you still have time to chat with the guests?"

"Okay, supervisor, I'll be right there."

Besides the waiter, there were also two or three others who patiently explained the whole story to the customer.

So after the waiter left, the reason for this scene quickly spread throughout the bar.

Everyone immediately realized that booth number one and booth number twenty-four were locked in a battle.

After learning the truth, a few people, seemingly enjoying the spectacle, raised their glasses and toasted booth number 24 in the corner of the bar.
"You're a real man, I salute you."

Honestly, most people, after learning the truth, would inevitably have similar thoughts to him—

The owner of booth number one is generous, but he's not a very good person.

As they say, it's only polite to reciprocate, so let's just consider this a friendly exchange.

But you, instead of being grateful, look down on them. That's going too far.

Although everyone thought so, few people were willing to stand up and offer a toast so openly, as if it were stirring up trouble.

If the owner of booth number one saw this, wouldn't he be furious and order a few more bottles to show off his wealth?
Seeing someone stand up and toast in this direction, Zhou Mingyuan clicked his tongue in admiration twice:
"It seems things have gotten a bit out of hand."

"What's this? I want to see rivers of blood!"

Aze also enjoys watching a good show, so he was quite eager to see the person in booth number one suffer a setback.

“That’s right, Lao Zhou, you can’t side with outsiders. Our A-Tong is standing up for you. Look, even the passersby are supporting him. You can’t back down at a time like this.”

Zhou Mingyuan shook his head, then drank the wine that Aze had poured for him in one gulp, a somewhat bitter expression on his face.

Perhaps it's because I've been working for so long, but I feel like I'm not as ambitious as I used to be, and when I encounter problems, I always want to downplay them.

In particular, leaders need to be more inclusive, coordinating, and taking a holistic view; otherwise, they simply cannot lead their teams well, let alone achieve any accomplishments.

Perhaps only Zhuo Tong, who has worked on the front lines as a salesperson and customer service representative and directly interacted with customers, still possesses that passion for life.

I can't help but feel admiration.

"Brother Zhuo, I'd like to toast you too." Zhou Mingyuan picked up two small glasses from the glass rack and poured them into his own glass, without even adding ice.

"Come on, Mr. Zhou, tomorrow's Monday, you have to go to work. If you drink again, aren't you afraid you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow?"

Upon hearing Zhuo Tong's words, the others all wore somewhat strange expressions.

Aze still had that amused expression, pursing his lips to forcefully suppress a laugh.

"It's alright, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll drink a little more."

"In that case, I'll take this as a toast to President Zhou. I look forward to your continued support in the future."

"Not at all, it's more like Brother Zhuo is taking care of me."

Although he said that, Zhou Mingyuan didn't actually take it seriously, thinking that Zhuo Tong was just being polite.

He didn't notice while he was drinking that Zhuo Tong, sitting opposite him, had a serious and earnest expression, which didn't seem like he was just being polite.

I'm not a petty person, but I do have a strong sense of vengefulness.

Although I have already resigned, my time at Hengtong Real Estate is not over yet.

The task I instructed Team Leader Huang to complete is still not finished; it seems I should urge him when I have time.

Zhuo Tong had just put down his wine glass when he noticed that Pan Yi had sat up at some point and was staring intently at him.

"When did you become so rich? Did you borrow money from loan sharks?"

"Is that how you perceive me? Someone who's broke but still clings to face and tries to put on a show?"

"No, my gut tells me...it hurts!"

Pan Yi, clutching her forehead where Zhuo Tong had flicked her hard, angrily questioned him:

"Are you crazy? How come you still can't learn to show mercy after all these years? Girls are meant to be pampered, don't you know?"

"I do not understand what you're saying."

Zhuo Tong asked herself honestly, since no one had taught her how to spoil someone, she would just do it the way she was most used to.

Aside from treating Gu Yao the same way he treats his younger sister Zhuo Lingshan, he shows no mercy to any other girl.

Just like the final sprint in a bicycle race, you pedal as hard as you can.

It's fine to stand up and kick.

However, besides Pan Yi, Zhou Mingyuan was also very curious about what had happened to Zhuo Tong.

What enabled him to transform from an unremarkable salesperson at Hengtong Real Estate into the wealthy and powerful man he is today?

Most importantly, even though he suddenly became rich, he didn't have the nouveau riche air about him.

On the contrary, he is very easygoing, provided you don't deliberately antagonize him.

"Fine, I'll mercifully tell you. I found a USB drive while moving recently, which contained the Bitcoin keys I bought several years ago. I made a small fortune from it."

Zhuo Tong had already prepared this explanation, so it sounded very casual when she said it now.

"Damn, Brother Tong, you're too modest. This isn't just a small fortune, it's a huge one! Your investment acumen is absolutely amazing."

Aze showed an expression of admiration:
"I recently had my account wiped out, and I almost lost everything, including my underwear..."

As soon as Aze finished speaking, the bar manager rushed over.

(Something urgent came up today, so the second update will be a little late.)
