“Brother Chao, I’m heading to the company!”

“Mmm, drive slowly, I’ll be waiting for you tonight!” He said with a teasing look at Jiang Li.

Thinking about what Zhou Chao said last night, her cheeks turned crimson, even her ears didn’t escape it.

“Pfft!” Jiang Li grabbed her bag and rushed out of the bedroom, and behind her came Zhou Chao’s triumphant laughter.

In mid to late June, in the Modu, the sun rose unusually early in the morning, and Zhou Chao felt that the sun hanging over his head was especially scorching after running a few laps in the neighborhood.

“Phew,” after finishing the last lap, Zhou Chao went straight back home; it was truly uncomfortable to be outside in the sun.

After two hours of hard work in the gym, he felt much more refreshed.

Just after showering and changing into loose-fitting clothes, he heard the phone ring.

Looking at the unfamiliar phone number, he hesitated for a moment but decided to answer it.

Hello?”

“Mr. Zhou, this is the property management. We have a package for you here. Are you at home? If you are, we can arrange for someone to bring it to you.”

“I’m at home. Please bring it over.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smile.

The property management quickly delivered the package. Zhou Chao promptly unpacked it, revealing seven or eight pieces of clothing.

Zhou Chao picked a cute one and snapped a photo to send to Jiang Li.

He quickly received a reply, a meme from Jiang Li saying, “I don’t want it.”

Seeing the message, Zhou Chao smirked and sent a few more pictures, adding a mischievous emoji at the end.

After a while, when he didn’t receive any response from Jiang Li but got a call from Lin Wu instead.

“What’s going on?”

“Boss, Miss Guo is already on the high-speed train!”

“Mmm, I know.”

Honestly, he was quite worried about Guo Yan traveling to Jinling alone. She had just graduated from high school, and even though China was safe, he was afraid she might encounter something unexpected.

“What a coincidence!” Zhou Chao shook his head and smiled, then put the matter aside.

Time flew, and it was already afternoon. Zhou Chao arranged for the property management to buy a lot of top-quality ingredients. He planned to showcase his culinary skills in the evening to pamper Jiang Li. After all, she would be tired in the evening.

The setting sun cast a beautiful orange hue across the sky as it dipped below the horizon.

*Click!* Zhou Chao had just finished cooking when he saw Jiang Li stepping out of the elevator.

“You’re back! Dinner is ready; wash your hands and we can eat!” he greeted her.

“What’s going on? Why is dinner so sumptuous tonight, and it’s all vegetables!” Jiang Li tossed her bag onto the sofa and approached the dining table.

Smelling the delicious aroma in the air, her mouth watered involuntarily.

“I just wanted to treat you well, especially since you’ve had a tiring day. Eat some nutritious food to replenish your energy!”

“They have no shame!” Zhou Chao became increasingly furious as he continued reading. Dior had indeed removed the plagiarized clothing from its Huaxia market, but there was no response or explanation regarding the other regions. This situation left him feeling quite incensed.

Dior is under the LV Group, right? This seems like a case of rivals crossing paths!” Zhou Chao had previously investigated the Leidu Group and had taken a look at other luxury goods companies as well. Dior’s old rival was none other than LV Group, which stood behind Dior.

“This situation has come at just the right time!” In no time, Zhou Chao had a plan in mind.

He promptly took out his phone and dialed Lin Wu’s number.

“Boss, what can I do for you?”

“Come over to my place, we’re going to Jinling!”

“Jinling? Should 1 drive there, or should 1 take a plane?”

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and said, “We’ll take the high-speed train!”

Jinling wasn’t too far from Modu. It would take just over three hours to drive there, and less than two hours by high-speed train. Although driving might be more convenient, they would encounter traffic restrictions in Jinling, rendering it impractical. As for the car, they could buy one when they arrived in Jinling and simply leave it with the studio when they returned.

Lin Wu arrived quickly, and Zhou Chao changed into a different set of clothes, donning the standard “Universe Explosion” attire.

Then, they got into Lin Wu’s car and headed to the high-speed train station.

“Boss, there are only second-class seats available for the high-speed train to Jinling. First-class seats are sold out!”

No problem, second-class seats will do just fine. It’s the same!”

“Alright!”

After buying their tickets, the two of them waited at the station for about ten minutes before boarding the earliest high-speed train to Jinling.

Perhaps due to the proximity of the two cities, there weren’t many passengers in the second-class carriage.

Once they found their seats and sat down, Zhou Chao took out his phone, intending to pass the time by watching short videos.

“Bang!” Just as Zhou Chao settled into his seat and was about to start watching, he suddenly felt his chair shake violently, as if someone had kicked it hard from behind.

Zhou Chao furrowed his brow, and Lin Wu, sitting beside him, also noticed the situation.

They turned to look and saw a child around five or six years old, grinning mischievously as he gazed at Zhou Chao. He continued to kick the back of Zhou Chao’s seat with his feet.

Hey, little buddy, you can’t use your feet to kick the seat back. It disturbs others. Do you understand?” Zhou Chao tried to put on a friendly tone.

After saying that, Zhou Chao turned back to his seat.

“Bang, bang, bang!” The little boy resumed kicking, and this time, he did it even more vigorously than before.

Before Zhou Chao could say anything, Lin Wu, who was sitting beside him, stood up. He looked at the young boy with a stern expression and said, “Little buddy, 1 already told you not to kick the seat. Why aren’t you listening?”

As a result, the little boy burst into tears, crying out, “Mommy, someone hit me, someone hit me!”

With this cry, the attention of everyone in the entire carriage was drawn to them. At the same time, a well-dressed woman emerged from the restroom and hurried toward them.

“Who did it? Who hit my son?”

This furious woman shouted angrily, and her gaze finally landed on Zhou Chao and Lin Wu. “Was it you who hit my son?”

“It was him, it was him! Mommy, he hit me!” The little boy pointed at Zhou Chao and complained to his mother.

The woman became furious on the spot. She pointed her finger at Zhou Chao and scolded, “You little bastard! You’re already this old, and you still bully children. Are you even human?”

Lin Wu was about to take action, but Zhou Chao held him back. Then, Zhou Chao’s expression turned cold, and he glanced at the woman before turning back to his seat. He knew that reasoning with someone like her was futile.

However, sometimes, even if you didn’t want to get involved, trouble would still find its way to you..
