The Peng City Observatory, praised by National Geographic as "the most beautiful coastline in Huaxia," was also visited. Although we couldn’t book a spot in the science hall at the mountain peak, Zhou Wang called in a helicopter, taking the four girls for a spin along the coastline, offering a full immersive experience.

The popular Peng City Museum was also a stop. The charming capsule elevator quickly captivated the hearts of the four girls, who spent over an hour just taking pictures while going up and down.

Zhou Wang didn’t understand how they could waste their lives like that. As for himself, he spent his time studying the bronze artifacts and ceramics, immersing himself in history for two hours, feeling quite fulfilled.

After visiting Yang Mei Cave, where "Mermaid" was filmed, Zhou Wang found it average, but he unexpectedly ran into a female celebrity he couldn’t name. It seemed she knew Zhou Wang and specifically asked for a picture with him.

Strolling on Jiedao Sha Beach, watching the sunrise on Wutong Mountain, seeing the sunset at Peng City Bay Park, sipping morning tea at Taotaoju, followed by enjoying flaming drunken goose in Shunde...

The two-day itinerary in Peng City was tightly packed by the four girls, leaving no room to breathe. Even the energetic Zhou Wang felt a bit overwhelmed and wondered how these seemingly delicate girls managed to keep up.

Last night, Zhou Wang kept it low-key, staying in the master bedroom playing games with Su Yajing, not venturing out.

Nevertheless, Su Yajing, who hadn’t hung out with Zhou Wang in a long time, seemed quite starved for attention, possibly with a hint of revenge. She put in every effort to completely exhaust Zhou Wang, ensuring he had no chance to sneak out for mischief...

By three in the morning, Zhou Wang felt genuinely exhausted, never having imagined that a coquettish girl dressed in a lacy outfit whispering "bad daddy" in his ear could leave him completely unfazed.

...

The third day in Peng City arrived.

When Zhou Wang awoke from his afternoon nap, Su Yajing lay naked beside him, sleeping soundly.

It seemed Su Yajing genuinely felt a sense of crisis. Though it was just an ordinary nap, she insisted on another session.

...But it wasn’t really forced; Zhou Wang couldn’t resist her persuasion.

This fiendish little devil must have practiced a lot on her own. Her oral skills improved remarkably, leaving Zhou Wang speechless, staring at the ceiling and sucking in cold air, exclaiming, "Ranran the Great is impressively eloquent," unable to utter a word in retort.

Today was a "rest day" for the four girls, and Zhou Wang had some business to attend to. They planned to relax at the hotel all day.

Gently prying Su Yajing’s smooth leg off him, Zhou Wang quietly sat up in bed, freshened up, styled his hair simply, changed into a casual business suit, and headed to the living room.

There, a suited Huang Duming and equally dressed Xiao Wang were already waiting.

"Boss, the car sent by President Mu is already waiting downstairs. What do you think..."

Huang Duming stepped forward to consult with Zhou Wang.

Two options: take their own car (which Huang Duming had already rented for Peng City’s activities), or use the vehicle sent by President Mu.

Normally, Huang Duming could handle such decisions, but maybe due to Zhou Wang’s recent scolding, he seemed hesitant to decide on his own.

"What do you think?"

Zhou Wang looked at him expressionlessly.

"Uh... I personally think it’s better to use President Mu’s car. He helped a lot with selecting the site for Wangzhou Pharmaceutical’s factory, so perhaps showing him some courtesy would be good."

"You see, since you’ve already analyzed the pros and cons, why bother consulting me?"

Zhou Wang shook his head helplessly, then lightly patted Huang Duming’s shoulder, "Duming, let bygones be bygones. Although your actions were flawed, overall, I’m satisfied with your work in Beidou, understand?"

"I understand, Mr. Zhou."

Huang Duming took a deep breath, seemingly relieved of some burden, and quickly led the way.

...

The Rolls Royce Phantom, with a deep license plate, was flanked by four brand-new Mercedes S-Class cars as escorts. Departing from Nanshan District in Peng City, they traveled over highways and through tunnels, taking about an hour before the convoy slowly entered a villa district in Yantian District.

"Mr. Zhou, look outside. This place is called ’Tianlu,’ a high-end residential area that our boss and others developed together in the past..."

At this time, in the backseat of the Rolls Royce Phantom, a man in a custom suit but with a hint of roguishness was conversing respectfully with Zhou Wang.

Zhou Wang had met him three days ago; he was the man outside the homestay area with two Mercedes cars guarding there.

He introduced himself as "Xiao Lai," but Zhou Wang guessed his street name might not be so cute.

"I think I’ve heard of this community; even the cheapest villa costs more than a small fortune, right?"

Zhou Wang feigned surprise and said, "President Mu has ventured into real estate?"

"Our President Mu’s involvement in industries might be more extensive than Mr. Zhou imagines..."

Zhou Wang knew that this was just a way for the other party to show off their power, so he played along:

"I always thought President Mu was focused on the service industry. It seems I’ve been too narrow-minded."

Xiao Lai continued, "Although our President Mu isn’t a native of Peng City, his family has been deeply rooted here since the 1980s, and there’s not much difference compared to locals..."

This sounded normal, but Xiao Lai’s next words surprised Zhou Wang.

"Starting from the local high-end service industry, President Mu’s businesses now span cultural tourism, catering, real estate, electronics, urban construction... and regions beyond the country’s core cities, extending to Hong Kong, Macau, Southeast Asia, and even branches in Hawaii, Beautiful Country..."

Zhou Wang noticed something was off; Xiao Lai’s tone was too stiff, like he was reciting a script.

... If these words were printed in a company brochure, they’d be typical marketing rhetoric.

But given the nature of President Mu’s businesses, these should be quite confidential, and Zhou Wang didn’t believe a successful underground businessman would reveal his details so easily.

Soon, Zhou Wang realized that these words were clearly delivered by Xiao Lai on President Mu’s behalf, meaning President Mu deliberately conveyed them to him.

A display of power? Or a gesture of goodwill?

Zhou Wang couldn’t figure out President Mu’s intentions, but it seemed to be a friendly gesture, so he responded normally.

Soon, the vehicle entered an internal road, which was actually a wide asphalt four-lane highway built along the coast. In the distance was the sparkling Dapeng Bay, and nearby were lush green hills.

This is the most popular type of top-level feng shui in Guangfu and even Hong Kong and Macau... colloquially known as "leaning against the mountains and facing the water."

Even if Zhou Wang hadn’t heard of "Yantian·Tianlu," just by looking at the landscape, he would know the area boasts expensive land prices.

"Is President Mu’s club in Peng City here too?"

Zhou Wang realized something and asked.

"Yes, to be precise, the first shop of Peng City Club is here, but it’s mostly closed to the public now, only accepting a select few guests."

Listening to Xiao Lai’s answer, Zhou Wang’s curiosity was immediately piqued.
