When Zhou Chao followed the sound and saw the speaker’s face, his brows lightly furrowed, and he uttered two words softly, “Liu Xu.”

But soon, Zhou Chao smiled and said, “What a coincidence, meeting again.”

At this moment, Si Cong and the others sitting aside also noticed Zhou Chao’s expression and stopped their games.

“Liu Xu, what are you doing here?” Si Cong asked curiously when he saw the newcomer.

Si Cong’s father’s company, Yida, had some business cooperation with Liu Xu’s family, so their private relationship was neither very good nor very bad. They had met several times before, and Si Cong had some understanding of this person’s temperament. Therefore, he wasn’t very fond of dealing with this somewhat petty Liu Xu.

“Si Cong, you’re here too, what a small world!” Liu Xu exclaimed with a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Si Cong.

But as his gaze swept over everyone present, Abdullah’s figure made his eyes widen in shock. He hadn’t expected to see him here.

Previously, his father had sent him to explore the market in Saudi Arabia, but unfortunately, he returned empty-handed. He had met Abdullah at a party once. Although they hadn’t exchanged many words, he still had a deep impression of him.

After all, the Saudis were rich. It was said that the family’s industrial capital was in the trillions of dollars.

“Your Excellency Abdullah, I didn’t expect to see you here,” Liu Xu said with a polite smile, taking the initiative to greet him.

Zhou Chao couldn’t help but think that this was shameless behavior. It seemed like Liu Xu had come to pick a fight earlier, but now he was behaving like a sycophant. Disgusting.

Meanwhile, Abdullah looked puzzled. He hadn’t figured out what was going on yet. He glanced at Liu Xu a few times, but couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, “Hello, do we know each other?”

This remark made Zhou Chao and the others burst into laughter, especially Si Cong, who didn’t even try to hide his amusement.

“Hahaha, this is hilarious! Abdullah doesn’t even recognize you,” Si Cong laughed out loud, not bothering to conceal his amusement.

The laughter was so loud that even the people around them turned to look curiously.

On the other hand, Liu Xu’s face turned ashen at being laughed at by Zhou Chao and the others. However, seeing Abdullah’s curious gaze, he forced a smile and said, “Perhaps Your Excellency Abdullah was too busy at the time to remember me, but it doesn’t matter.”

Liu Xu straightened his clothes, looking confident, and smiled, “Your Excellency Abdullah, I’m Liu Xu from the Liu Group. I can still have some say in the domestic business industry. I wonder if there’s anything you need help with during your visit to China? If you have any difficulties, I should be able to help.”

Completely ignoring the others present, he openly tried to gain favor.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao wore a faint smile, completely disregarding Liu Xu’s actions. After all, they weren’t on the same level anymore. Who would bother paying attention to a bug that could be crushed with one hand?

Upon hearing Liu Xu’s introduction, Abdullah recalled a little about Liu Xu. However, apart from the name Liu Group, he had no other impression.

Though he didn’t have much impression, Abdullah’s upbringing prompted him to politely respond, “Oh, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t think I need your help. After all, I have Zhou here!”

Abdullah smiled at Zhou Chao beside him, who nodded in return with a faint smile.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xu furrowed his brows and shifted his gaze to Zhou Chao. As Zhou Chao looked back at him with a faint smile, Liu Xu’s confusion deepened.

Although they had met a few times before, Liu Xu didn’t really know much about Zhou Chao’s background. He had initially thought Zhou Chao was just another wealthy second generation from somewhere. However, judging from today’s situation, it seemed that his estimation of Zhou Chao was wrong.

Their group seemed to revolve around Zhou Chao.

“Could it be that Zhou Chao’s status is even higher than Abdullah’s?” A crazy idea flashed through Liu Xu’s mind.

After all, Abdullah was among the top three in the camel family’s inheritance sequence. Such a person wouldn’t tolerate anyone speaking loudly in front of him, let alone treating others as equals.

For a moment, Zhou Chao became a puzzle in Liu Xu’s mind. “It seems 1 need to investigate this person who embarrassed me thoroughly.”

While Liu Xu was lost in thought, he was brought back by Si Cong’s loud voice.

“I say, Liu Xu, if you have nothing to do, don’t just stand here. Don’t you know you’re disturbing our game?”

Hearing this, Liu Xu glanced at Si Cong. He knew Si Cong’s character well, but he also knew he wouldn’t fare well here. So, he decided to take the opportunity provided by Si Cong.

“Alright, I won’t disturb you all. Take your time playing. Your Excellency Abdullah, I’ll take my leave first,” he said, then left the bar with the few people following him.

Having just arrived and leaving within ten minutes, this was quite unusual for Liu Xu.

As he reached the door, Liu Xu glanced back at Zhou Chao’s direction, snorted lightly, and walked out..
