“How was it? Amazing, right? Come on, praise me!” Just half an hour after the live broadcast ended, Jiang Li called Zhou Chao.

“Of course, it was amazing. I didn’t expect my wife to have such a remarkable side!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but admire Jiang Li’s efforts for this live stream. She had done her homework meticulously, providing detailed information about each type of fruit, its variety, sweetness, and more.

“Of course! Do you even know who I am?” Jiang Li’s playful tone made Zhou Chao realize how proud she was of her achievements.

However, he couldn’t resist teasing her a bit. “My dear, the company also put in a lot of effort in the pre-promotion. Don’t think you attracted so many viewers just by yourself. Besides, you must make sure the product quality and after-sales service are a priority for the fruit farmers. Otherwise, it could become troublesome later.”

Zhou Chao had experienced the consequences of being exploited by malicious individuals, and he didn’t want to see Jiang Li affected by it. He respected her choices, but he also wanted her to consider her path carefully. For now, he planned to discuss it with her when she returned to Modu.

Jiang Li assured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure the local government supervises them. After all, this is a significant trial for us, and the local government is quite invested in it. You can rest assured!”

“Alright,” Zhou Chao said. “Do you know how long your research will take?” The initial posting of this chapter occurred via noovelllbbin

“Miss me already? It won’t be too long. After finishing up here, I have one more place to visit, and then I’ll be back in Modu. It should take about a week at most.”

“Okay, when you’re back, I’ll move to our new home!”

“Great!”

Jiang Li hung up the phone, leaving Zhou Chao thinking about her future path. Should he let her continue on the path of charity work? It was a path filled with challenges, but he respected her choices. He decided to discuss it with her when she returned to Modu.

As Zhou Chao contemplated, his stomach growled, bringing him back to reality.

“Why is my stomach growling now? It’s not even lunchtime yet!” he muttered. He checked his phone and realized it was already 1 p.m.

“Seriously, it’s already 1 p.m.? Time flies,” Zhou Chao said to himself as he headed to the kitchen. He took out two pieces of steak from the refrigerator and started cooking. He also grabbed a few large strawberries to snack on.

“Well, this is nothing. You haven’t seen his other toys. If you had, you wouldn’t be saying this,” Si Cong sighed as he thought about the super-luxurious top-tier yacht he had heard about.

“The more you talk, the more curious I get. Come on, let’s go upstairs!”

Seeing Houting’s excitement, Si Cong shook his head in resignation and led him directly to the elevator. Once inside, Si Cong pressed the button for the top floor.

The elevator shot up rapidly and soon arrived at the top floor. Si Cong looked back at Houting, then pressed the doorbell of the room.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao was lying on the sofa, playing with his phone. When he heard the doorbell, he assumed it was the delivery from The Palms Residence and got up to answer it.

“Bring them inside...” Zhou Chao began to say, but then he saw that it wasn’t the delivery person at the door. Instead, it was Si Cong and another man. Zhou Chao immediately recognized Houting, the owner of OMG Club.

“I thought it was the delivery guy. I didn’t expect it to be you two. Come on in!” Zhou Chao stepped aside to let them in, and Si Cong and Houting entered the room.

“Lao Hou, feel free to sit down and make yourself at home. No need to be so formal!” Si Cong said and went to the fridge and grabbed two cold drinks, handing one to Houting.

Houting took the cold drink, looking a bit awkward as he glanced at Zhou Chao. He wasn’t sure whether to drink it or not, as first impressions were important.

“Please, have a seat. We’ll have dinner in a moment, and then we can chat properly.”

“Alright!”

Just as Houting finished speaking, the doorbell rang again. Zhou Chao knew it was the delivery from The Palms Residence this time. He quickly went to the door and opened it to reveal the restaurant’s servers, pushing three carts full of dishes.

“Please, set them on the table!” The head waiter, upon hearing this, immediately carried the dishes to the table. In no time, the table was filled with more than ten dishes. After the waiter left, Zhou Chao invited the two of them to take their seats at the dining table.

“Let’s dig in, and enjoy the hot food!”

“All, it’s a shame I didn’t get to try your cooking!” Si Cong expressed his disappointment, looking at Zhou Chao as if he wished to hear him commit to cooking in the future.

“Having something to eat is already good enough. Don’t be so picky!” Zhou Chao replied with a hint of irritation, and they all chuckled..
