“Boss, how about I go with you?” Wang Feng stood at the hotel entrance and said seriously.

“And it’s not convenient for you to go to Chang’an alone. Besides, I can assist you in case there’s anything I can help with!”

After hearing Wang Feng’s suggestion, Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and thought it made sense. After all, this trip to Chang’an might take several days, and having someone to gather information together would be more efficient.

“Alright, put your key at the hotel front desk and come with me.”

Wang Feng was overjoyed when Zhou Chao accepted his proposal. He hurriedly entered the hotel, and in no time, he came running out.

H

Let’s go!” Zhou Chao opened the rear car door and got in.

The Toyota Alphard left the hotel and headed straight for the airport. Along the way, Zhou Chao made a call to Ye Zhengfeng to discuss the follow-up arrangements for the land and inform him that he would be leaving Peng City for a while.

As soon as they arrived at the airport, Zhou Chao purchased two first-class tickets for the fastest flight to Chang’an. Once on board, he rested with an eye mask on, trying to relax and rejuvenate.

The flight from Peng City to Chang’an wasn’t very long, taking about three hours to reach Chang’an.

During the journey, Zhou Chao woke up once when a flight attendant came to ask if he wanted lunch. He declined the offer, while Wang Feng next to him eagerly dug into his meal.

Upon landing at Chang’an Airport, it was already 2 o’clock in the afternoon. At this point, Zhou Chao began to feel a bit hungry.

“Boss, where are we heading now?” Wang Feng stood at the airport’s entrance, looking a bit bewildered.

“Let’s find a place to stay first.” As Chang’an was an ancient capital, Zhou Chao naturally had a Hilton Hotel in mind.

Wang Feng hailed a taxi, and after both of them got in, Zhou Chao told the driver, “Go to the Hilton Hotel in the Yan Ta district!”

The taxi driver didn’t hesitate and drove away from the airport.

Chang’an, as an ancient capital, didn’t have many tall buildings. Most of the buildings were only a few stories high.

Many people wondered why there were so few high-rises in Chang’an. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to build them; it was just that they couldn’t.

Nobody could guarantee whether the piece of land they were building on contained the tomb of a princess or a prince. There was even one project where as soon as the excavator started digging, they found something underground. Work was halted for three and a half years, and when they finally dug up the site, they discovered hundreds of burial chambers from the Warring States period. The Cultural Relics Bureau informed them they could proceed with construction, but as soon as they dug again, someone said, “Oh my, it’s a Warring States burial site!” So, this created a lot of scenarios where developers acquired land and then abandoned it.

As Zhou Chao looked out the car window at the scenery, he occasionally caught glimpses of ancient city walls or other historical buildings, which piqued his curiosity about this place.

After driving for over an hour, the taxi finally arrived at the entrance of the Hilton Hotel.

“Wang Feng, take my card and book two rooms, preferably ones with a better view. I’ll disappear for a bit, and you handle the check-in,” Zhou Chao said, handing his personalized card to Wang Feng.

“Alright, Boss!”

As the two of them entered the hotel, Zhou Chao went to the lounge area, while Wang Feng followed the bellman to the front desk to complete the check-in process.

As soon as the front desk saw the exclusive card in Wang Feng’s hand, they immediately notified the lobby manager. They were about to inform higher management when Wang Feng stopped them.

“The boss doesn’t want to be disturbed. You just need to be mindful of his presence. If the boss has any business, he will naturally come to you!”

The lobby manager hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded. After all, the boss had said so. At most, they would report the situation to the general manager later.

With the check-in completed, Wang Feng approached Zhou Chao, holding the room keys.

“Boss, it’s all set. We have a presidential suite and a business room!” He handed over the key to the presidential suite.

While sipping tea, Zhou Chao started observing his surroundings. He noticed that the female sales staff from the 4S dealership were chatting and glancing at him in the lounge.

When Zhou Chao looked in their direction, one of the bolder ones used her fingers to make a heart shape, signaling her affection.

“Boss, is it all because you’re so handsome?” Wang Feng commented, feeling a bit jealous as he saw the saleswoman acting smitten.

“Naturally. Don’t you know that being handsome can be a meal ticket sometimes?”

“A meal ticket? It seems impossible for me in this lifetime. If only I had half of your looks, Boss.”

“With your strong physique, if you ever want to rely on someone, just let me know. I’ll introduce you to some wealthy women. How about that?” Zhou Chao teased Wang Feng with a mischievous grin.

Wang Feng’s expression turned disgusted.

“Boss, I’ll never rely on someone else!”

“Hahaha!” Zhou Chao burst into laughter.

“What’s so funny, handsome? Did I miss out on something exciting?” Xiao Zhang walked in with the contract in her hands.

“Good things happen when you sign a contract, right? I’ve been here for less than 10 minutes, and you’ve already bought a Phantom. Isn’t that a good thing?” Xiao Zhang said with a cheerful demeanor.

“Hey handsome, would you like me to accompany you for a test drive later?” Xiao Zhang added, winking at Zhou Chao.

“No need. My wife is waiting for me at home for dinner,” Zhou Chao replied directly, rejecting the suggestion. He was okay with some playful banter, but he didn’t want to take it any further. After all, who knew how many people had test-driven the car before him?

Seeing that Zhou Chao had put an end to the topic, Xiao Zhang moved on.

“Could you please give me your ID card, handsome?” Zhou Chao understood that it was needed for the contract.

“Wang Feng, give her your ID!”

Wang Feng was about to say something but was silenced by Zhou Chao’s gaze.

He then took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang was a bit surprised at first but quickly regained her composure. She began writing the contract, and in less than five minutes, it was completed. Wang Feng signed it, Zhou Chao used his card, and the contract was settled quickly.

Perhaps due to being the largest Rolls-Royce 4S dealership in Chang’an, the process of obtaining the license plate was exceptionally fast. It took less than half an hour to complete everything.

“Let’s go!” Zhou Chao tossed the keys to Wang Feng and stood up, heading towards the exit.

In no time, a brand new Rolls-Royce Phantom rolled out of the 4S dealership.

H

Boss, the female salesperson from earlier slipped a note into my pocket when I went to pick up the car!” Wang Feng said, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket and showing it to Zhou Chao.

“Hahaha, Wang Feng, your lucky day has arrived! If you feel lonely tonight, you can give her a call and have a chat about life!”

“Boss, please don’t make fun of me.” Wang Feng looked even more helpless and resigned.

“Feel free to have fun, but keep your mouth shut. Just make sure to take safety precautions. If something happens to her at night, you’ll be the prime suspect!” Zhou Chao added, teasing Wang Feng, whose already forlorn expression became even more pitiful.

“Boss, where are we going now? Are we heading back to the hotel?” Wang Feng asked.

Zhou Chao contemplated for a moment and said, “Let’s go to Northwestern Polytechnical University first. We’ll find our way around there, and then we can look for a nearby place to eat. I’m quite hungry now, and I’d like to try Chang’an’s famous biangbiang noodles. Are they really that delicious?”

“Sure thing, Boss!” Wang Feng immediately opened the navigation system and entered Northwestern Polytechnical University.

“The route is being planned. Please continue on the current road. The total distance is 5 kilometers..”
