Chapter 117: Chatting

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The next morning, Zhou Chao was awakened by a phone call from Si Cong.

“Chao, have you returned to Modu?” Zhou Chao was annoyed by Si Cong’s voice on the other end of the line.

“Can you let me sleep a little longer? Calling so early will get you scolded!”

“Isn’t today my birthday? 1 was worried you’d be too busy to remember. Where are you now?” n))OVelB1n

“I’m already back in Modu. When should I come?” Zhou Chao sat up in bed.

“In the afternoon. You should come early. There will be a lot of beautiful internet celebrities today!” Zhou Chao frowned at the mention of that.

“I don’t need the beautiful women. I have a girlfriend. I’m going directly to the yacht this afternoon!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone after saying that. It was only 8 o’clock. He got back into bed, preparing to sleep a little longer.

Zhou Chao slept until around 11:30 AM, then got up from the bed. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he walked into the bathroom. When he emerged from the bathroom, he was full of energy.

Going downstairs, Zhou Chao saw the watch gift he had prepared for Si Cong on the table. He grabbed a bag and put the watch inside, getting ready to head to the yacht club.

“Oh.” Zhou Chao patted his head, turned, and walked toward the liquor cabinet. He took out three bottles of Domaine Romanee Conti red wine that he had brought from Jingdu and decided to take them all.

After thinking for a moment and not finding anything else to bring, Zhou Chao looked at his Hublot BigBang watch. It was already 12 o’clock. He picked up the wine and the gift and headed out.

“Vroom~” Zhou Chao stepped on the accelerator, driving his Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta out of The Palms Residence, heading toward the yacht club.

“Oh, dear boss, why have you come?” Zhou Chao parked the car and just as he walked into the yacht area, he heard George’s voice. Looking up, he saw George waving from the bow of the ship.

“George, go tell the ship’s chef to prepare some food for me. I haven’t had breakfast, and my stomach is growling.” Zhou Chao walked onto the ship carrying the items, and George quickly took them.

“Why have you come so early, boss?”

“Isn’t it my friend’s birthday today? Did you prepare the ingredients, fruits, and drinks 1 asked you to buy?” The two of them headed toward the third floor of the yacht.

“Don’t worry, boss. I’ve already prepared everything.”

“Great, you take care of these items for me. 1’11 make use of them later!” Zhou Chao handed the two bags to George, who then went into the cabin. He returned shortly after.

Soon, the ship’s chef brought a steak and a fruit salad.

“Boss, here’s your lunch!”

“Thank you!” Zhou Chao took the plate from the ship’s chef and started eating.

“George, aren’t you eating?” After finishing his meal, Zhou Chao leaned back on the sofa at the bow, lit a cigarette, and saw that it was already 12:30.

“Boss, we’ve just finished eating before you arrived!”

“Okay, got it. You can attend to your tasks, and also make sure to check on the yacht!” With that, George greeted and departed from the bow of the ship, leaving Zhou Chao seated on the sofa, blowing smoke rings.

Around 2 PM, Zhou Chao spotted the main character of the day, Si Cong, along with several graceful and attractive young women, approaching the area where the yacht was docked.

“Si Cong.” Zhou Chao greeted Si Cong, who waved in response.

“Si Cong, who’s that handsome guy?” One of the internet celebrity beauties couldn’t help but ask.

Si Cong turned to look at the beauty and then spoke, “He’s the man you’ll never get in your lifetime!” He led the group of beautiful women onto the Dragonfly.

“Wow, what a luxurious yacht.” The group of internet celebrity beauties took out their phones and started taking pictures.

“You can take pictures of whatever you want, but the man from earlier should not be photographed. If anyone shares his picture, you won’t be able to stay in this circle anymore. Do you understand?” Si Cong unusually spoke in a very serious tone to the group of beauties.

The ladies looked at each other and then answered, “Understood, Young Master Cong!”

“Alright, enjoy yourselves!” Si Cong said and walked toward the third floor.

“Hey, our distinguished Young Master Cong, it seems you’re always accompanied by groups of beautiful women whenever you go out now!” As Si Cong reached the third floor, he caught Zhou Chao teasing him.

“I’m a playboy after all. If I don’t have a few internet celebrity beauties with me, it wouldn’t be fitting for my status!” Zhou Chao laughed at his reply, amazed by his audacity.

“How about Qin Fen and the others? Do they have time to come today?” Zhou Chao handed a cigarette to Si Cong and asked about the whereabouts of the rest of the group.

“Qin Fen and the others will be here later. But your older brother Li Yang can’t come; he said he’s busy with something!” Si Cong also joined in on the smoke and conversation.

“Hahaha, 1 understand. He’s in a relationship now, in the honeymoon phase. The two of them are busy, so they wouldn’t have time to come out.” Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s explanation, Si Cong quickly grasped the situation. His curiosity was piqued, and the two of them delved into conversation.

“Zhou Chao, Si Cong!” Just as they were engrossed in conversation, they heard Qin Fen calling their names.

Zhou Chao rose from his seat and spotted the arrival of Qin Fen, Qin Lang, and the rest. He greeted them with a wave, and they made their way onto the yacht. The internet celebrities on the first floor grinned upon seeing Qin Fen and his companions. After all, being associated with someone of his stature would certainly elevate their status!

“What are you two chatting about so enthusiastically?” As they reached the third floor, Qin Fen, who was leading the group, looked at Zhou Chao and Si Cong deeply engaged in conversation, and curiously asked.

“Not much, just that Li Yang is in a relationship now. They’re on their honeymoon, so they won’t come here to play!” Si Cong playfully remarked.

“Damn, is he serious?” Qin Lang, who was behind Qin Fen, blurted out a curse. He often hung out with Li Yang and was surprised to hear that Li Yang was in a serious relationship.

“It must be true. I’m familiar with the woman, and she’s quite nice. They seem quite compatible!” Si Cong said as he blew out a puff of smoke.

Qin Fen and the others took their seats, and they started chatting. George had also arranged for fruit platters and snacks to be brought over.

“Si Cong, are there any more people coming? If not, we can set off!” Qin Fen, who was at the side, looked at Si Cong leaning on the railing.

“Lao Piao and a few beauties haven’t arrived yet. Let’s wait a bit more.” After saying that, Si Cong was about to make a call, but he saw Lao Piao and a few beauties chatting and laughing as they walked toward the yacht club’s dock.

“Lao Piao, could you hurry up? You’re making us wait, it seems your reputation is getting bigger.”

As Lao Piao was chatting with a few beauties, he heard Si Cong’s shout and quickly picked up the pace. The internet celebrities who were following him also quickened their steps.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Zhou Chao promptly instructed George that they could set off to tour the Huangpu River!
