“Young Master Zhou, you’ve come back just in time. It’s time for dinner!”
Zhou Chao looked at the table full of dishes, both meat and vegetables, and couldn’t help but sigh. The life of a celebrity wasn’t all that glamorous.
“Let’s dig in!”
Zhou Chao picked up a piece of braised beef, chewed it thoughtfully, and found the taste quite satisfying, perfectly tender.
“Why aren’t you guys eating meat? It’s all vegetables!” Zhou Chao suddenly noticed that Song Xiaoyi and Li Qinqin had been eating only vegetables, and even Guo Qilin and Zhang Ruoyun had only had a small piece of meat, which they had divided and eaten separately.
“I’d love to eat meat, but I have to watch my figure, or else my manager will scold me again!” Song Xiaoyi complained when she heard Zhou Chao’s comment.
“Yeah, it’s been so long since I had meat!” Li Qinqin chimed in, wearing a wistful expression.
“You celebrities work so hard; it’s even a struggle to indulge in some meat!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but lament, and he slyly grabbed a few more pieces of braised beef, making everyone’s mouths water.
“Young Master Zhou, you’re being too much! Not only are you eating, but you’re also tempting us like this!” Song Xiaoyi felt awkward after saying this and quickly took a bite of rice to cover her embarrassment.
“You should eat too. It’s just a piece!”
However, no one accepted Zhou Chao’s offer. It seemed they had all experienced the consequences of giving in to temptation, so they held themselves to strict standards.
Zhou Chao enjoyed the meal on his own since no one else joined in. But they couldn’t help but sneak glances at the bowl of beef on his side.
Fortunately, the meal was relatively short-lived, and the chef cleaned the tableware. Then, they brewed some tea.
“What are your plans after finishing this show?”
“What plans can we have? Just go home and wait for the next project!” Song Xiaoyi said helplessly, and Li Qinqin nodded in agreement.
“I’m going to film a new season of Ming Zhen.” Zhang Ruoyun spoke a little shyly.
“Ming Zhen? 1 love that show. Hurry up and film it! Oh, by the way, if you get a chance, send me a signed photo of all of you with your autographs!”
“Sure, no problem. When the time comes, I’ll make sure to get one for you!”
“Great, I’ll be waiting,” Zhou Chao said, taking out his phone from his pocket.
“Alright, boss!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao got up from the bed, tidied himself up a bit, and changed into fresh clothes. He knew he would be meeting his subordinates shortly, so he wanted to look presentable.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on Zhou Chao’s door.
Zhou Chao opened the door and saw six people standing outside, with a middle-aged man in his forties at the forefront.
“Boss!” they all greeted in unison.
“Come in!” Zhou Chao said, then turned and walked inside. The six people followed him.
“Please have a seat. Help yourselves to some water from the fridge,” Zhou Chao said, but none of them moved to get water; they exchanged glances instead.
Zhou Chao frowned slightly at the sight but didn’t say anything.
Instead, he looked at the middle-aged man who led the group and asked, “Xiao Zhang?”
“Yes, boss!”
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Zhang Guangyao.”
Zhou Chao nodded and continued, “Ling Chen sent you all here this time, and I believe you know the situation. I won’t say much. Be prepared today, and tomorrow morning, you’ll head straight out.”
“Boss, understood. We just need you to provide the relevant documents, which will make our work easier,” Zhang Guangyao immediately entered a professional mode, stating their requirements.
“Alright, 1’11 give them to you tomorrow morning. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer.”
“Don’t worry, boss. We’ll definitely satisfy you!” Zhang Guangyao said confidently.
“Good. Have you all arranged your accommodations?”
“We’ve already arranged everything, boss!”
“Well, then, go back and get some rest. Recharge your energy because tomorrow, you have a tough mission ahead.”
“Yes, boss!” With that, Zhang Guangyao and the others stood up and left Zhou Chao’s room.
Zhou Chao stood on the balcony of his room, looking at the now rain-free sky in the distance. At some point, a beautiful rainbow had appeared in the distant sky..
