“Hey, lazy bum, are you still sleeping? I’m about to board the plane, and you haven’t even gotten up!”

“Well, it’s still pretty early, isn’t it? It’s not even 9 o’clock yet, and you’re already at the airport?” Zhou Chao mumbled, lying on the bed with his phone next to his ear, feeling like he could fall asleep at any moment.

“Isn’t it because I want to see you sooner!” Jiang Li’s suddenly shy words made Zhou Chao open his eyes wide.

“I’ll get up right away and get ready to go out!” Zhou Chao got up from the bed, took the phone, and headed for the bathroom.

“Yeah, I’m about to board the plane, so I won’t talk for now!” Zhou Chao also heard the airport announcement for boarding. Looking at the hung-up phone, he couldn’t help but smirk.

Before long, the sound of bathing and the sweet song, “Let’s have fun, there’s plenty of time!” could be heard coming from the bathroom.

Zhou Chao had already dried his hair and put on a handsome casual suit. He took a quick look in the mirror and headed downstairs!n-/o/(v-)e(.l--b--1-.n

Zhou Chao roughly calculated that Jiang Li would arrive in Modu at around 11:40. He immediately took out his phone and called Qin Fen!

“Hey, Chao, what’s up?”

“Help me reserve a table at Huang’s place. My girlfriend is coming to Modu!”

“Sure, I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry!” Qin Fen hung up the phone before Zhou Chao could say anything else.

“Why do 1 feel like he’s more enthusiastic than me?” Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile and left with the keys to the Lamborghini Veneno!

One essential item when picking up his girlfriend was flowers. Zhou Chao drove the Veneno to The Palms Residence and headed straight to a flower shop!

“Boss, what kind of flowers do you have?” After about 30 minutes of searching, Zhou Chao finally found a large flower shop. He parked the car and walked right in.

“Hey handsome, are you planning to give them to your girlfriend?” A sexy, voluptuous woman, the shop owner, came out and looked at Zhou Chao with eyes that seemed to radiate light.

“Yeah, for my girlfriend,” Zhou Chao replied with a calm and indifferent expression that piqued the curiosity of the beautiful shop owner.

“Hey there, handsome, would you like me to help you pick out some flowers?”

“Sure, thank you!” Seeing that Zhou Chao didn’t show any interest in her, the beautiful shop owner turned to arrange flowers for him.

In less than 20 minutes, a beautiful bouquet of flowers was in the hands of the beautiful shop owner.

“Here you go, handsome, your bouquet is ready!”

“How much is it?”

“If you’re willing to add me as a friend, I’ll give it to you for free!” The beautiful shop owner looked at Zhou Chao expectantly.

“No need, thanks!” Zhou Chao handed over 1000 yuan and left the flower shop with the bouquet.

The beautiful shop owner followed him and saw Zhou Chao getting into a Lamborghini Veneno and driving away.

“I didn’t expect him to be so rich besides being handsome! What a pity!” The beautiful shop owner sighed and then turned back to the shop.

“It looks like I should always carry a mask in my pocket from now on!” Zhou Chao, who was waiting at the traffic lights, couldn’t help but sigh. If it weren’t for his strong willpower, he might have been captivated by the flower shop owner just now!

When Zhou Chao arrived at Hongqiao Airport, it was only 10:30, and there was still over an hour until Jiang Li’s arrival. Zhou Chao bought a pack of masks and a bottle of Red Bull from the supermarket in the parking lot.

“I should have stayed at home a bit longer before heading out!” Zhou Chao casually placed the Red Bull on the roof of the car and leaned on the car door, playing with his phone.

“Hey handsome, can I have some of this water?” A young girl in a JK-style skirt stood in front of Zhou Chao’s car and asked.

“This is for me. If you want some, go buy it yourself!” Zhou Chao’s response left the JK girl speechless.

“Hey handsome, want to take me for a ride?”

“Not interested, I’m waiting for my girlfriend. Thanks!” Zhou Chao’s series of refusals made the JK girl feel like she had encountered a dull man.

“Why place the drink on the car roof when it’s meant for own yourself? Geez, what a mood-killer!” The JK girl walked away in frustration.

It was only then that Zhou Chao realized that back when he was in college, he had seen this situation at various entrances. He wondered how he could have forgotten about it today. He quickly grabbed the drink and got into the car.

“Have 1 not checked in for a long time?” Zhou Chao quickly opened the check-in system and realized that he had accumulated a lot of time.

“System check-in!”

“Congratulations, host, for checking in and obtaining the top-level hacking skill, as well as a freedom-class cruise ship, the Independence of the Seas, currently heading to the harbor!”

Zhou Chao clapped his hands in joy when he saw the hacking skill from the check-in. As for the cruise ship, he didn’t pay much attention to it, after all, it was something money could buy!

In the president’s office of Royal Caribbean, the president of Royal Caribbean Cruises was looking at a contract worth a staggering one billion dollars, and the other party was none other than Zhou Chao!

With roughly 40 minutes remaining, Zhou Chao made up his mind to think about combining the skills later, probably when he went to bed at night. After all, the hacking skill had an abundance of information, and there was plenty for him to learn.

As the phone rang, it brought Zhou Chao’s thoughts back.

“Hello, who is this?”

“Boss, hello, I’m Captain Bieber of the Independence of the Seas. 1 just received a call from headquarters saying that the Independence of the Seas has been sold!”

“Hmm, Bieber, what’s your itinerary?”

“Boss, we are currently in Singapore. There are 2,580 passengers on board. Our next stop is Hong Kong Island, followed by Modu, and then we’ll head to South Korea.”

Upon hearing the cruise ship’s itinerary, Zhou Chao had a plan in mind. He said to Bieber, “Alright, I got it! Give me a call when you reach Hong Kong Island. We can meet up and chat then.”

“Sure, boss!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone, thinking that after he finished his business on Hong Kong Island, he could take the cruise ship back to Modu. He could experience cruise travel firsthand, something he had only seen as a luxury in the past, especially on such a freedom-class cruise ship that he had only encountered in movies.

“I wonder how it feels to go on a cruise. I’m quite looking forward to it,” Zhou Chao thought as he searched on his phone. He learned that the Independence of the Seas had a massive size: it had a total tonnage of 160,000 tons, a length of 339 meters, a height of 72 meters, 18 decks, nearly 2,000 cabins, and could carry 4,375 passengers with a crew of 1,000. The Independence of the Seas cruise ship was like a luxurious city at sea, equipped with almost every conceivable facility.

Zhou Chao felt a bit overwhelmed when he read about it. He didn’t know how to manage such a freedom-class cruise ship in the future.

Before long, it was time to go to the airport to pick up Jiang Li. Zhou Chao set aside his thoughts for the moment, planning to revisit them after completing his current responsibilities. He got out of the car, put on the mask he had purchased earlier, grabbed the flowers, and made his way to the airport.

He didn’t have to wait long at the exit before he saw Jiang Li coming out, dragging her suitcase.

“All Li!” Zhou Chao waved his arm in greeting!
