After a satisfying meal, both of them slouched on the sofa. Jiang Li looked at the watermelon juice in her hand, still feeling the lingering spiciness in her mouth.
“It’s truly fulfilling, and I’m almost soaked in sweat!” She gazed at her white T-shirt, now damp with sweat, savoring the taste from a moment ago.
“From now on, when we want to eat, we’ll order takeout or cook ourselves!”
“Sounds good!”
Jiang Li happily nodded.
“Brother Chao, 1’11 go upstairs to take a shower first. Remember to tidy up the table, love you!” She placed her cup on the table as she spoke and quickly ran upstairs. By the time Zhou Chao reacted, Jiang Li was already upstairs.
“This little girl keeps bossing me around every day!” Zhou Chao wore an expression of helplessness. Nevertheless, he got up from the sofa and headed to the dining room.
Just as he finished tidying up the table, his phone, which he had placed on the coffee table, started ringing. After wiping his hands with a towel, he briskly walked over.
“Hmm? A call from overseas!” Despite his confusion, he answered the call.
“Hello, Mr. Zhou Chao, I’m Adam Sandler, the Vice President of Boeing. Your customized 747-8 VIP has been completed. May 1 ask where you’d like us to deliver it to?”
“It’s already done? Just send it to Huaxia Modu, and call me when it arrives!”
“Very well, thank you for your trust in Boeing. We have also selected a team of crew members specifically for you, who will fly with the aircraft to Modu. Is that acceptable to you, Mr. Zhou?”
“Oh, thank you so much! 1 was actually struggling to find suitable crew members. I truly appreciate it!”
“Providing you with the best service is our duty.” The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
“Thank you, Adam Sandler. I can’t wait to see my big toy!”
“You’ll be able to see it tomorrow, Mr. Zhou!”
“I’m getting impatient already!”
“We’re delighted to serve you!”
“Thank you!”
After ending the call, Zhou Chao had a joyful smile on his face.
“Yes, it’s finally coming. 1 wonder what it’ll look like!” He was so excited that he had been rubbing his hands together on the sofa.
“Brother Chao, what are you doing? Why don’t you come up for a shower!” Just as Zhou Chao was lost in thoughts about the airplane, Jiang Li’s voice brought him back.
“Uh, I’ll be right up!” Zhou Chao replied after snapping back to reality.
He then picked up his phone and headed upstairs.
The night passed quickly, and early in the morning, Jiang Li went to work. She mentioned last night that their previous plans were progressing smoothly, and many issues with school cafeterias had been successfully resolved with the help of locals. Some of the supplies had already reached the children in remote mountain areas.
It was said that when those children saw the new stationery, backpacks, and the cafeteria meals, every one of them was excited. The accompanying staff who recorded their smiles couldn’t help but shed tears.
Jiang Li assured him that she would bring back the videos and photos for him to see when she had the chance, allowing him to share in the joy.
“I wonder when my plane will arrive in Modu,” Zhou Chao mused early in the morning as he lay on the couch, playing with his phone in boredom, eagerly awaiting a call from the crew members.
“Sigh!” Seeing that it was already n in the morning, Zhou Chao put down his phone and decided to grab a bite to eat. Just as he was getting up, the phone rang.
“Could it be the crew members calling?” Zhou Chao picked up his phone with a joyful expression, but his face fell when he saw the caller’s name.
“Hello, Lin Wu, what’s up?” The call was from Lin Wu, whom he hadn’t seen in a while.
“Boss, the Karlmann King is repaired. Should 1 drive it to your current location or back to The Palms Residence?”
Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and said, “You can drive it here. Let’s go out for a walk and relax a bit. I’ve been staying at home a lot lately!”
“Alright, Boss! I’ll be there soon!”
Their ordered dishes soon arrived, and the cosplay enthusiast finished his meal and left.
It was only then that Lin Wu spoke up, “Boss, do you think it’s worth spending money and traveling so far just for this comic convention? There doesn’t seem to be any benefits, and it’s expensive!”
“Didn’t you catch what that guy mentioned earlier? It’s all about passionately pursuing their interests. Well, explaining it further wouldn’t really help, so let’s just enjoy our meal!” Zhou Chao chose not to elaborate, as he didn’t think Lin Wu would fully grasp the concept.
The two of them finished their meal quickly and then headed towards the cultural park where the comic convention was being held.
Along the way, they saw many people dressed in refreshing outfits, and occasionally, beautiful women would approach them for a chat, but Zhou Chao politely declined their advances.
“Boss, this comic convention is quite refreshing, isn’t it?
“Can you be a bit more serious? Remember, you’re a married man!”
“Boss, that doesn’t stop me from appreciating beautiful things!”
Zhou Chao was momentarily speechless at Lin Wu’s response, and they continued to stroll around.
Those attending the comic convention included not only cosplayers but also photographers carrying cameras. There were also quite a few who came to genuinely enjoy the event, mostly young people.
Since the last incident in Rong City when Zhou Chao learned about a photographer who deceived a young girl and harmed her, he hadn’t had a favorable opinion of such individuals. At most, he didn’t dislike them.
“Boss, is that the guy we had lunch with just now?” Lin Wu pointed to a young lady posing in the crowd.
“Yeah, it’s him. Didn’t expect him to be quite popular!”
“Should we go over and take a look?”
“Let’s not disturb him. We’ll go check out other places.”
“Lin Wu, do we have many comic conventions in our country?”
“Not really. I haven’t seen much online, and most of them seem to be from abroad.”
“Doesn’t this count as a form of cultural invasion?”
“It might be,” Lin Wu replied uncertainly.
Zhou Chao pondered this for a moment.
Soon, they continued their stroll and came across a large group of people rushing towards a particular location.
“Hey, what’s going on, buddy?” Lin Wu stopped a curious young man and asked.
“Dog-Headed Girl is here!” he exclaimed and then ran ahead.
Leaving the two bewildered individuals behind, watching the young man disappear into the distance.
“Do you know what that’s about?” Zhou Chao looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“I have no idea!” Lin Wu quickly shook his head.
“Let’s go and see what’s happening!” They picked up their pace and headed toward the gathering crowd.
They quickly arrived at the location, where many people had taken out their phones to capture images of the woman in the center of the open area.
Indeed, the woman had an alluring figure, petite yet with a broad chest, and her comic convention outfit made her quite attractive.
After watching for a while, Zhou Chao lost interest and was ready to leave, only to discover that Lin Wu, the goofball, had also taken out his phone to take pictures.
Zhou Chao kicked Lin Wu’s butt.
“Ouch! Boss, what’s wrong?” Lin Wu turned around and saw Zhou Chao scolding him.
Is the girl beautiful?”
“Beautiful...uh, not beautiful, not beautiful!” Lin Wu quickly shook his head upon seeing Zhou Chao’s expression.
Just as Zhou Chao was about to say something else to Lin Wu, his phone in his pocket rang.
He took it out and saw an unfamiliar phone number.
“Hello?”
