Chapter 698: Return to the Capital! (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Previously, Zhang Helun, who had a chance encounter with Zhou Chao, watched his senior brothers with a puzzled expression and cleared his throat lightly!

“Helun, do you know?” Bingzi and the other senior brothers all looked at him. “I know a little bit. Let’s talk about it in the room. This isn’t the place to discuss!”

Everyone nodded, realizing it wasn’t appropriate to talk about this in the lobby, and they each took the elevator to Zhang Helun’s room.

“Helun, spill the beans, what’s going on?” Bingzi hastily asked as soon as they entered the room.

“In fact, you’ve all heard of this person before. Do you remember the precious bottle of wine my master mentioned earlier?”

“You mean the 1945 Domaine Romanee Conti from my master’s collection worth millions?” As one of the few disciples, Bingzi had some knowledge of these matters.

“Exactly. I heard it was gifted by that big shot just now. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xiaomeng. He’s been to Young Master Zhou’s house!”

Suddenly pointing to Xiaomeng, who was sitting at the bedside contemplating the problem!

Suddenly being singled out, Xiaomeng’s mind didn’t react at first. He looked at the many senior brothers staring at him and instinctively moved back a bit. “What… what’s wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that!”

“Xiaomeng, Helun just said you’ve been to Young Master Zhou’s house, but why haven’t we heard about it from you!”

“Oh~ You’re talking about that, it was a long time ago. At that time, my godfather asked me to deliver something, and I met him briefly!” “Then tell us, what’s the situation with this Young Master Zhou!” Xiaomeng remained silent for a moment, organizing his thoughts internally as he looked at his curious senior brothers.

“All I know is that Young Master Zhou lives in a courtyard by the canal, and it’s a penthouse worth at least a billion!”

“Damn!” Everyone couldn’t believe their ears and exclaimed in unison.

“And I heard that my godbrother’s movie had such good results because this big shot helped behind the scenes!”

With everyone chatting away, they shared the relevant information they had heard.

They didn’t know before, but now they were shocked. At this moment, they also understood why their master had that kind of attitude.

Such a big shot, if it were any one of them, their attitude might be ten times, a hundred times more humble.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao was on the phone, his face full of excitement.

“Wang Lao, this isn’t a joke!”

Why would I lie to you? You mentioned it when you were at Lake Baikal before, I mentioned it to No. 1, and he agreed directly. Look at when you want to go, just give me a call, and I’ll arrange it for you in advance!”

Wang Lao, you said that. I’ll rush back to Jingdu as soon as possible, and I’ll call you when I’m ready!”

“Don’t worry, would I lie to you?”

“Well, I’ll thank you in advance then!”

Alright, let’s not talk about it now. Let’s talk when you get back!” After that, Wang Lao hung up the phone.

Zhou Chao casually threw his phone aside, jumped up excitedly, and waved his arms in excitement.

At this moment, Jiang Di also walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe. Seeing Zhou Chao’s excited look, she asked with some confusion, “Brother Chao, what’s going on? Why are you so excited!”

‘Hey, just now Wang Lao called to tell me some good news!” Zhou Chao said mysteriously.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s excited expression, Jiang Li instantly had a thought flash through her mind and nodded nonchalantly.

“Oh~”

After speaking, she turned and went into the bedroom, but Zhou Chao didn’t see the smug smile on Jiang Li’s face after she turned around.

Listening to Jiang Li’s airy response, Zhou Chao felt a sudden drop in his spirits.

“Why aren’t you following the usual script? Shouldn’t you be asking me what the good news is?”

Zhou Chao’s excitement quickly turned into disappointment.

“Ah Li, aren’t you curious about the good news?” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but ask.

“I’m not curious-” came a slightly desolate voice from the bedroom.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao’s rebellious mentality surged up immediately, and he walked quickly towards the bedroom.

Seeing Jiang Li lying on the side of the bed, Zhou Chao spoke directly, “Darling, let me tell you, Wang Lao called just now and said that when I return to Jingdu, he can take me to visit the military district!”

After speaking, he did not receive Jiang Li’s response for a long time, but saw

Jiang Li’s body trembling slightly.

Zhou Chao thought something had happened to Jiang Li and hurried over, only to see Jiang Li covering her mouth and laughing incessantly.

Seeing Zhou Chao, Jiang Li stopped pretending and burst into laughter.

At this moment, Zhou Chao was still unaware of Jiang Li’s little trick.

“Wow, it seems you did it on purpose!” Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li unkindly.

It turned out the previous “Oh” and “Not curious” were intentional, just to see him make a fool of himself.

“Hahaha, you really cracked me up, Brother Chao, you’re so cute!” Jiang Li felt tears of laughter in her eyes.

Zhou Chao sighed helplessly. He didn’t expect to have such a day.

Seeing Jiang Li laughing incessantly, he noticed that her bathrobe had come undone, revealing glimpses of her figure, which swayed along with her laughter. Zhou Chao’s previously somewhat gloomy mood improved considerably.

Soon, Jiang Li also noticed Zhou Chao’s strange gaze and realized that her little treasure had somehow peeked out for some air.

She quickly adjusted her bathrobe, muttering, “You saw it and didn’t even say anything, just enjoyed the view. It’s so annoying!”

Zhou Chao chuckled and stripped off his clothes. “Ah Li, it’s getting late. Let’s go to bed!”

Seeing Zhou Chao almost naked, Jiang Li clicked her tongue disapprovingly, pulled the blanket over herself, and covered up.

Zhou Chao laughed heartily, pulled back the covers, and lay down.

The next morning, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li got up early, ready to return to Jingdu.

Since Wang Lao’s phone call last night, Zhou Chao felt like his heart had flown back to Jingdu.

So, after a discussion, the two decided to return to Jingdu.

Just as they finished getting ready, they heard a knock on the door.

Opening it, they saw that it was Lao Guo and Yu Qian.

“Young Master Zhou, hope we didn’t disturb you!” Lao Guo said with a smile.

“No, if you hadn’t come, I was about to call you!”

Lao Guo and Yu Qian were both puzzled for a moment and asked, “Young Master Zhou, what brings you to us?”

Well, it’s nothing much. I just wanted to return the car to you. We’re planning to head back to Jingdu today!”

“Back to Jingdu? Young Master Zhou, you’ve only been here for less than two days. Why suddenly decide to leave? Don’t you want to stay a few more days and have some fun?”

Zhou Chao shook his head lightly. “There’s something going on in Jingdu. By

the way, what brings you here so early?”

Lao Guo smiled wryly. “We were planning to go out and have fun today, but it seems we’re out of luck!”

“Have you finished your business here?”

“Yes, everything’s taken care of. We were planning to enjoy our time in Tianjin today and head back tomorrow, but we didn’t expect you to have plans for today.”

“Well, there will be other opportunities. Here’s the key for you!”

Lao Guo nodded and took the key.

The three of them continued chatting, and Lin Wu joined them.

Glancing at the time, Zhou Chao noticed it was already 9:15 in the morning.

“It’s getting late, we should go.”

“I’ll arrange for someone to take you there, it’ll be more convenient that way!” Lao Guo wasn’t confident in his driving skills, so he arranged for someone else to take Zhou Chao and the others to where the car was parked.

After a moment of consideration, Zhou Chao nodded. “Thank you.”

“No trouble at all, no trouble at all!” Lao Guo waved his hand hastily and took out his phone to send a message to Xiao Yuexue.

After waiting for about three or four minutes, they heard a knock on the door.

Then the group left the hotel chatting and laughing. Under the watchful eyes of

Lao Guo and Yu Qian, Zhou Chao and the other two got into the car driven by Xiao Yuexue and disappeared into the traffic.

“It’s a pity we didn’t seize such a good opportunity this time!” Lao Guo sighed as he watched the direction the car disappeared.

Yu Qian, on the side, understood Lao Guo’s thoughts. He wanted to hitch a ride with Zhou Chao’s momentum and embark on a path of rapid development..
