Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, Zhou Chao was chatting in the study at The Palms Residence.

“Lao Piao, are you still up for it? We agreed to rank up together!”

“Young Master Zhou, give me a moment. I’m about to start a meeting here. It’ll be done in no more than 10 minutes!”

“Alright, take your time, and let me know when you’re done!” Zhou Chao ended the voice call and received a message from Ling Chen.

“You did a great job! It’s done so quickly!” Zhou Chao read the words on the screen, a smile appearing on his face.

Seeing that Ling Chen hadn’t called, Zhou Chao knew that the matter was not yet resolved. He wasn’t in a hurry, as he believed Ling Chen would handle it quickly.

About ten minutes passed, and Zhou Chao was still browsing short videos when he received a message from Lao Piao.

Zhou Chao immediately opened the League game and found that Lao Piao was already online.

“Let’s do this, let’s do this!”

Lao Piao sent a game invitation, and when Zhou Chao entered the game, he saw another familiar player—Xiao Ning!

“Hey, Xiao Ning, you’re here too!”

“Good afternoon, Young Master Zhou!” Xiao Ning replied cautiously.

“Alright, what about your boss? What’s Si Cong been up to lately?” The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Zhou Chao inquired about Si Cong, whom he hadn’t contacted for a while.

“Our boss, I’m not sure what he’s been busy with lately, but...” Xiao Ning paused for a moment, unsure whether she should continue.

“What’s there to hesitate about? Si Cong has had some investment issues recently and is short on funds. We don’t know if he managed to raise enough!” Lao Piao, who had also switched to voice chat at some point, shared his thoughts. Zhou Chao contemplated this information.

“Alright, you two wait for me. Maybe play a game first. I’ll give Si Cong a call to check the situation!”

“Sure, Young Master Zhou. But could you please not mention it was me who told you?” Xiao Ning said nervously. If Si Cong found out, he might scold him.

Zhou Chao’s voice brought both of them back from their astonishment.

“I’m here, Zhou Chao!” Lao Piao quickly responded.

“Yeah, I thought my mic was acting up for a moment. Let’s begin. Today, take me to a high rank!”

Lao Piao immediately clicked start, and the three of them embarked on a five-hour ranked match. Even Lao Piao postponed his evening livestream for this extended gaming session, which continued until well past 10 o’clock. Zhou Chao began to feel a hint of hunger, prompting them to finally conclude the game.

“Lao Piao, let’s take a break from gaming and grab some dinner. We haven’t eaten yet!”

“Sure thing, Zhou Chao!” The two of them, who had been hungry for a while, sat down at the table. The dishes were still untouched and had already gone cold.

“Whew, I’m exhausted! But it’s not bad. After playing for two or three more days, I should be able to reach the challenger league!” Zhou Chao looked at his Diamond 2 rank and smiled.

“Grumble-” His stomach growled untimely, and Zhou Chao immediately ordered some barbecue takeout on his phone, preparing for a hearty meal.

He went to the first-floor living room, laid on the sofa, and looked at the photos that Jiang Li had taken during their leisure time. There were selfies, scenic shots, and many pictures of children. Over the past few days, they had managed to chat whenever they had some free time. Zhou Chao knew that Jiang Li had been exhausted lately. Every night, she would fall asleep as soon as she lay in bed, and he could see that she had slimmed down a bit.

For the past two days, Zhou Chao dragged both of them into ranked matches. Lao Piao had taken several days off directly, and as for Xiao Ning, the club knew that she was accompanying Zhou Chao in gaming and didn’t inquire further.

So, the three of them played together for three or four days, and Zhou Chao successfully climbed to the highest league rank. Feeling a bit conceited, he took a couple of photos and posted them on his social media with a caption.

“Lao Piao, Xiao Ning, you’ve worked hard these past few days. In a few days, I’ll invite you both to my house as guests!”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, both of them smiled and quickly said, “Thank you, Young Master Zhou!”

“All right, you’ve all worked hard these past few days. Go get some rest!”

After saying this, Zhou Chao exited the game, grabbed a bottle of Fiji mineral water from the fridge, and drank it all in one gulp.

Just as he was about to go rest and take a nap, the phone on the table rang.

“Hello, Si Cong, is everything settled?”

“Yeah, everything’s resolved. Do you have time tomorrow? Let’s go out for a meal!” Hearing Si Cong’s somewhat cheerful tone, Zhou Chao knew that his matter had been resolved.

“No problem, just send me the location when the time comes!”

“Great, that’s settled then. I won’t disturb you any longer!” Si Cong concluded the call..
