“I didn’t allow you to join them. Are you upset with me?” Zhou Chao gazed at Jiang Li, who was nestled in his arms, his hand softly caressing her hair.

“No, I’m not. I’m happiest when I’m with you,” Jiang Li replied earnestly, lifting her head to look into Zhou Chao’s eyes.

Zhou Chao kissed her forehead and said, “I’ll take a nap for a while. Wake me up later.”

“Sure, you rest,” Jiang Li replied. Before long, Zhou Chao fell asleep.

Although the integration of various musical knowledge and skills into his mind hadn’t caused Zhou Chao to faint, it did leave him feeling mentally fatigued. That’s why he decided to take a nap after dinner. After all, cramming so much into his mind at once had a somewhat overwhelming effect.

Jiang Li rested her head on Zhou Chao’s shoulder, watching his peaceful sleeping face. Unknowingly, she also fell asleep beside him.

The buzzing sound of a phone placed by the pillow awakened Zhou Chao from his deep sleep. He reached for the phone and saw that it was a call from Li Wei, who was in Fuxing.

“Hello, Li Wei. What’s up?” Zhou Chao answered with a sleepy voice, making Li Wei on the other end of the line a bit nervous.

“Boss, I hope I didn’t disturb your rest,” Li Wei said cautiously.

“Just get to the point,” Zhou Chao replied, sitting up on the bed and rubbing his forehead to wake himself up a bit. Jiang Li, who had been woken by Zhou Chao’s movement, opened her eyes and saw Zhou Chao on the phone. n--OVelB1n

Seeing this, Jiang Li got up from the bed and quietly walked into the living room.

“Boss, I’d like to report on the recent situation in Fuxing,” Li Wei said, noticing the commotion on Zhou Chao’s end.

“Alright, go ahead. I’m listening.”

“Boss, currently, the steel plant in Fuxing has resumed operations, and the original workers, as well as our own, are getting along well.”

“What about the conditions?” Zhou Chao interrupted Li Wei’s explanation, inquiring about the workers’ treatment.

As Zhou Chao and Jiang Li reached the elevator, they ran into Li Yang and Shen Lan, who were coming out of the elevator carrying various bags.

“Hey, you guys are up!” Li Yang greeted them with a smile.

“Why did you buy so much stuff?” Zhou Chao looked at the bags in their hands, which were filled with various items.

“Let’s talk after we get back to the room!” Zhou Chao and the others followed Li Yang back to their room.

“Whew, so tired!” Li Yang and Shen Lan tossed the items onto the table and plopped down on the sofa, leaving Zhou Chao momentarily speechless.

“Why did you buy so much stuff? You can get everything in Modu!” Zhou Chao examined the peculiar contents of one of the bags.

“These are specialties from around the world. When we see something interesting, we buy a little. Besides, it’s not that expensive!” Zhou Chao held up an abstract painting that looked like a child’s doodle.

“How much did you spend today?” Zhou Chao asked, looking at the ten or so shopping bags on the table and floor.

“Not that much, around 700,000 RMB!” Zhou Chao slapped his forehead in disbelief, and even Jiang Li covered her mouth, afraid of bursting into laughter.

“As long as you’re happy. Take a rest, and later we’ll go see the performance by the world-famous pianists on the cruise. I’m really looking forward to it!” Li Yang and Shen Lan nodded, despite their exhaustion.

It wasn’t until 6 PM that Zhou Chao and his friends emerged from their rooms. “We’ll be arriving in Modu tomorrow night, and your wedding is getting closer. Are you excited?” They chatted and laughed as they rode the elevator to the dining area.

Li Yang looked at Shen Lan beside him and said, “Of course, I’m looking forward to it!”

The group arrived at the dining area and saw that Li Hao and He Xin had also just come out of the elevator.

“Let’s find a place to eat first. The evening performance will start at 7:30!” They quickly found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and had their food served in less than 20 minutes.

“Chao’er, do you know who the famous pianists performing tonight are?” Li Yang asked Zhou Chao as they ate.

“How would I know? We’ll find out when we get there!”

“Oh!”

They finished their meal quickly, and then the six of them headed to the banquet hall.. It was less than 20 minutes before the evening event was scheduled to begin!
