Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Looking at the gradually shrinking Lanai Island outside the window, Zhou Chao sighed in his heart, “I wonder when I’ll have the chance to come here again!”
“What’s wrong? You look like you have something on your mind!” Jiang Li sat beside Zhou Chao, holding a plate of fruit.
“Nothing, just thinking about when I’ll have the chance to visit Lanai Island again.”
“In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities!”
“Indeed,” Zhou Chao said with a smile, patting Jiang Li’s hand.
At this moment, Shen Wenxuan approached the two of them.
“Young Master Zhou!”
“What’s up, Wenxuan?”
“I, Si Cong, Qin Fen, and Li Yang are planning to play cards together. 1 wanted to ask if Young Master Zhou would like to join us!”
Seeing Zhang Wenxuan’s serious expression, Zhou Chao burst into laughter.
“Is there a problem, Young Master Zhou?”
“You’re inviting me to play cards, but it seems like none of them knows!”
“Well, I came over after going to the restroom, thinking that you didn’t come, so 1 wanted to ask!”
“Haha, are you not curious about why none of them invited me?” Zhou Chao’s words suddenly enlightened him.
Indeed, these people were not foolish, and their relationship with Zhou Chao was much better. None of them had mentioned inviting Zhou Chao to play cards, so there must be something he didn’t know.
Seeing the puzzled look on Zhang Wenxuan’s face, Zhou Chao smiled and said, “You go back and play with them. I won’t go!”
Zhang Wenxuan, who couldn’t understand, nodded and then turned to leave.
When he returned to the leisure area, Zhang Wenxuan was still pondering what exactly was going on.
“Wenxuan, what are you thinking about? You’ve been gone for such a long time!” Li Yang asked, looking at Zhang Wenxuan, who was lost in thought.”
“I just went ahead to invite Young Master Zhou to come and play cards, but he didn’t want to. I’m a bit puzzled!”
Zhang Wenxuan’s words left them a bit bewildered, but they quickly snapped out of it.
“Why did you go and invite Zhou Chao? We’re having so much fun, and if you invite him, you’ll end up crying all the way back to the country!”
“No way!” Zhang Wenxuan still couldn’t believe it.
“Can you win several billion at a Macau casino? You invited him to play cards, and you’ll end up losing everything!” Li Yang told him about Zhou Chao’s history at the casino.
“He’s that good?”
“Of course, why else would we not invite him? Okay, let’s stop talking about him and start playing!” Si Cong began shuffling the cards.
After a flight of more than nine hours, they finally landed at Modu Hongqiao Airport.
“All, we’ve finally arrived. We left in the morning, and now it’s only noon in the country. The time difference is really annoying!” Guo Yan stretched lazily and complained softly while looking at the clear sky outside.
As soon as they got off the plane, they felt the heat wave, as if someone was holding a torch next to them. Sitting on the shuttle bus with comfortable air conditioning, the coolness enveloped them, making them feel comfortable and refreshed, and they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“All, why does it feel like it’s getting hotter in Modu!”
“It’s summer after all, so the heat is normal.”
“Shall we have a meal together or go our separate ways?” Zhou Chao looked at the people behind him.
“Let’s eat together first and then go home to rest!”
“Alright, the usual place. Huang Gongzi, Qin Fen, can you make the reservations?”
“No problem!”
Soon, everyone arrived at the parking garage and got into their respective cars, heading towards Huang Gongzi.
Seeing an unfamiliar number on his phone, Zhou Chao quickly composed himself and answered the call.
Hello?
“Hello, is this Mr. Zhou Chao?” A slightly nervous female voice came from the other end.
“Yes, I’m Zhou Chao. May 1 know who’s calling?”
“I’m from the Radiant Hanfu Studio, and I would like to know when you will come visit the studio.”
“Um... Where is your studio located?” Zhou Chao asked somewhat awkwardly.
There was a brief silence on the other side, and after a while, they replied, “Mr.
Zhou, our studio is in Jinling. Whenever you have time, you can come and visit!”
“Jinling? Well, how about I come over in a couple of days? I’ll give you a call when I’m on my way. By the way, I don’t know your name yet!”
“I’m Gu Yan, the head of the studio.”
“Gu Yan, 1 got it. I’ll give you a call when I arrive in Jinling.”
“Okay, Mr. Zhou!”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao did a quick online search for Radiant Hanfu Studio. He found quite a bit of information.
It was one of the top Hanfu studios in China, and they specialized in handmade
Hanfu. Each set of Hanfu had to be customized a month in advance, and the prices were not cheap.
“Hanfu, Hanfu! 1 wonder how Ling Chen is doing right now.”
He then called Ling Chen.
“Boss, you’re back in Modu?”
“Yeah, just got back today. I have some matters to discuss with you.”
“What’s up, Boss?”
Zhou Chao was about to explain, but he remembered something else and said, “How about this, I’ll come to the company. It’s better to discuss some things in person.”
“Sure, Boss!”
Zhou Chao hung up the phone and retrieved the stock agreement documents of Lei Mingtang Group from the warehouse. After reviewing them for a while, he put them back into the leather bag.
He picked up the bag and his keys, then headed to the garage. Just as he took a few steps, he glanced back at the second floor, took out his phone, and sent a message to Jiang Li, saying that he was going to the company. He then entered the garage.
Driving his stylish Lamborghini Veneno, he exited the residential complex and headed straight for the Golden Tower Building.
Upon arriving at the company, Zhou Chao was immediately greeted by a wave of “Hello, Boss.”
When he reached Ling Chen’s office, he walked right in.
“Boss, you’re here. I just brewed some West Lake Longjing tea. Please have a taste.”
Zhou Chao sat down at the tea table and began to sip the tea.
“It won’t do, Ling Chen, this tea leaves is a bit lacking. When you have some free time, go to my place, The Palms Residence, and I’ll give you some good tea leaves to bring back. Instead of just keeping them there, it’s better to let you enjoy them all.”
“Really, Boss? You can’t go back on your words!” Ling Chen said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
“You’re so thrilled. It’s not like it’s anything special.”
“Hehe, Boss, your generosity always leads to top-quality goods. 1 know that. Besides, I’ve been eyeing those tea leaves in your tea cabinet for a while now.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? 1 would have given them to you!”
“Well, I felt a bit embarrassed to ask!”
“Tsk, you still know how to be embarrassed!”
Ling Chen scratched his head and quickly changed the subject. “Boss, is there something important that made you come in person?”
“Hmm....”
