Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After having dinner, everyone was invited to relax in the garden by Zhang Liang, and at this point, the focus of everyone had shifted from Zhang Liang to Zhou Chao.
At this moment, Zhang Liang and Jiang Hai were still reminiscing about their conversation with Yang Feng just now.
“He is a top-notch young master!” With just this sentence, Yang Feng stopped speaking, but it had a significant impact on the two of them.
“Xiao Chao, I heard from Lao Zhang that you gave this red wine, it’s really good, do you have any more? Give your uncle a couple of bottles!” Li Daoming was still savoring the taste of the red wine from earlier.
Zhou Chao couldn’t help but complain in his heart, “1 knew he’d come to hit me up for gifts!”
“Sure thing! Tonight, feel free to drop by my house, we can get acquainted, and whenever you’re free, come over for some fun. And don’t forget to invite Big Brother to join us this time; he couldn’t make it last time due to his busy schedule!”
“Yes, in a few days, I’ll grant him a short break to ensure he gets some well-deserved rest!” Li Daoming also used his family ties to gain an advantage.
“That’s great, when Big Brother comes to find me, I’m planning to go out in the middle of the month, we can go together!”
“Xiao Chao, I don’t know where you’re planning to go in the middle of the month, but we’re also planning to go out in the middle of the month, do you want to join us?” Zhang Wenxuan, who was beside them, took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
“Oh, where are you guys planning to go?” Zhou Chao gave Zhang Wenxuan a meaningful look.
“We’re thinking of visiting the Hawaiian Islands, the weather is just right now!” 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝙤𝙫𝒆𝓵.𝒄𝙤𝒎
“Wow, that’s quite a coincidence, I’m planning to go to the Maldives!”
When Zhang Wenxuan heard Zhou Chao’s words, a happy expression appeared on his face.
“Xiao Chao, I’ll arrange the tickets and accommodation for you when the time comes, how does that sound?”
Zhou Chao didn’t need to think about his thoughts, he looked at Zhang Liang, who was drinking tea next to him, without changing his expression.
“You don’t have to trouble yourself with that, my private jet will arrive in a few days, and you can come with me then.”
“Private jet? Xiao Chao, did you buy a private jet? How big is it, how many people can it hold, Gulfstream or Airbus?” Li Dao Ming asked several questions in a row.
The other people didn’t show any surprised expressions either. For them, buying a private jet was a relatively simple matter, after all, even a small private jet cost only around a hundred million!
“It’s neither of those. I bought a Boeing 747-8vip, it’s customized for private use. Let me calculate the time, it should be in the next few days!” Zhou Chao thought for a moment and said casually.
“747-3VIP!!!” Zhang Wenxuan exclaimed in astonishment.
“Xiao Chao, are you talking about that privately customized, one of the top two large planes in the world, right?”
Zhou Chao looked at Zhang Wenxuan somewhat unexpectedly.
“Oh, you know about it too? There should be very few of these planes on the market!”
“Indeed, there are very few, there are only a few of them globally. 1 heard that just a regular private customization is worth about 600 million!”
Zhang Wenxuan licked his dry lips and continued, “US dollars!”
“600 million US dollars!” Even the steady Zhang Liang couldn’t help but be amazed as if money was falling from the sky!
“Yeah, about that much. Mine is a bit more expensive, around 800 million!”
“800 million US dollars, converted, it’s about 5 billion yuan, cough!” Jiang Hai calculated it himself and was choked by the tea in his hand.
“Spending approximately 5 billion to buy a massive toy to showcase, an airplane that can’t be used frequently throughout the year. That’s truly extravagant!” At this moment, Zhang Wenxuan’s eyes were brimming with admiration.
“Why did you buy such a big plane? You can’t fly it many times in a year!”
“I’m different from you all; I can’t avoid flying personally. 1 have to travel back and forth regularly, and sometimes I have to endure airport waits. So I made the decision to go all out and purchase an aerial home for myself. It’s more comfortable that way.”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, everyone had different thoughts in their minds.
“Then we’ll trouble you when the time comes, Xiao Chao!”
“No problem!” Zhou Chao waved his hand with a smile. After all, Zhang Liang was showing him respect by inviting him to his house, and he was even taking his son out to play. There was no reason for him to be difficult.
Zhou Chao glanced at Yang Feng, who was a bit tipsy, and then checked the time. It was already past 1 o’clock in the afternoon. He wondered how Jiang Li was doing at home.
“Mr. Zhang, Uncle Li, it’s getting late, so I’ll head back. My wife is still at home, and I don’t know if she’s had lunch. Feel free to come over sometime. Oh, Uncle Li, when you go back, remember to visit my house!”
“You live in the neighboring building!”
“Yes, that building over there!” Zhou Chao nodded and gestured towards a nearby large villa.
“Young Master Zhou, I’ll visit your house next time!”
“No problem, as long as I’m at home, you’re welcome. But you’ll have to bring your own chef and nanny. It’s just my wife and me in my house!”
“Sounds good!” Zhang Liang also smiled. He had never encountered a young master like Zhou Chao, who was so unpretentious.
“You guys continue talking; I’ll head out for now.” Zhou Chao got up and walked towards the exit. Zhang Liang and the others were about to get up to see him off, but Zhou Chao stopped them. freew ebnovel.com
Seeing Zhou Chao leave, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Yang Feng’s condition also improved compared to earlier.
“Lao Yang, now that everyone has left, can you tell us what’s going on? It would help us all understand.”
Let my useless son explain it to you. If he hadn’t told me in advance, I’m afraid you wouldn’t have seen the Yang family for much longer!” Yang Feng had lost his previous arrogance and was now sitting slumped in his chair, looking disheveled.
With everyone’s eyes on him, Yang Fan briefly explained the situation in Jingdu. When they heard it, the entire garden fell silent.
After a while, Li Daoming couldn’t help but exclaim, “1 never expected that the success of our Li family would actually be realized through my son!”
Zhang Liang and the others were speechless at these words. This situation had forced him into a tight spot.
“Wenxuan, you all should take a lesson from him now and then. Sometimes, it’s a viable path,” Zhang Liang added with a sigh.
As Zhou Chao left Zhang’s residence and headed straight home, he unlocked the door with his fingerprint and entered.
As soon as he entered the house, he heard the clattering sounds coming from the kitchen.
“Is my wife trying to demolish the house?” Zhou Chao quickly walked towards the kitchen and saw Jiang Li, fully geared up to protect herself from hot oil splatters, busy stir-frying.
Seeing Zhou Chao entering the kitchen, Jiang Li, who was busy cooking, immediately stopped what she was doing.
“Brother… Brother Chao, why are you back so early?” Jiang Li looked surprised as she saw Zhou Chao leaning against the door frame.
“If I didn’t come back, I wouldn’t get to witness this exciting scene!”
“I… I was just afraid of getting burned by the hot oil.”
“If you don’t turn off the stove, the food in the pot will get burnt!”
Hearing this, Jiang Li hurriedly looked at the stove, and indeed, the food in the pan had already turned black.
“All, my shredded potatoes! It’s all your fault for distracting me!” She turned off the stove, and then Jiang Li rushed towards Zhou Chao, looking like she was about to settle the score.
But as soon as she pounced, Zhou Chao caught her in his arms.
“Alright, let’s take a break, and leave the rest to your handsome husband!” Gently, he flicked her delicate nose with his finger, then pushed her out of the kitchen.
Looking at the somewhat burnt potato strips in the pan, or rather, potato sticks, his head was buzzing a bit. He took three eggs from the refrigerator, removed the potato sticks from the pan, mixed the three eggs evenly, poured them into the potato sticks, and then ignited the fire.
He drizzled some oil into the flat-bottomed pan, waiting until it reached about sixty percent heat, and then poured the potato and egg mixture into it. Afterward, Zhou Chao began preparing other dishes.
In less than 15 minutes, Zhou Chao walked out with three dishes in hand.
“All Li, come and have dinner!”
“Coming!” Jiang Li, who was playing with her phone on the sofa, jumped up and headed towards the dining room upon hearing his call.
“Mmm, it smells so good. Brother Chao, what have you cooked?”
“I’ve made potato and egg sticks that don’t look like sticks, Kung Pao chicken, and a seafood and tofu soup. Try them!”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Jiang Li seemed a little unhappy.
“What do you mean by potato sticks that don’t look like sticks? They are clearly sliced, maybe just a bit larger than usual!” Jiang Li looked at the potato sticks on the plate, her voice getting smaller as she spoke.
“Alright, eat up!” Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li’s cute expression and decided to spare her from further teasing.
He ruffled Jiang Li’s little head and headed towards the living room.
Jiang Li picked up her chopsticks and started eating, occasionally sighing. “Mmm, this Kung Pao chicken is really delicious.”
Zhou Chao, who was scrolling through Mou Yin, smiled when he heard Jiang Li’s sighs.
Soon, Jiang Li ate her fill and walked leisurely to the living room, where she directly lay down on the sofa.
Patting her round belly, she couldn’t help but sigh. “So satisfied!”
“You, if you want to eat what 1 cook, just say so. There’s no need to beat around the bush like this!”
Jiang Li also laughed, her eyes forming crescent moons.
“You know it, no need to make me say it out loud. That’s too much!” A full and satisfied Jiang Li became more assertive in her speech.
“You little girl, do you want to try the Zhou family’s rules again?” Zhou Chao put down his phone and prepared to go towards Jiang Li.
“Ding dong!” The doorbell ringing directly interrupted their playful mood.
“Who could it be? Of all times!” Zhou Chao walked out with an annoyed expression.
Upon opening the door, he found that it was Li Daoming, accompanied by Jiang Hai and his son, Jiang Yang.
“Uncle Li, it’s you! I thought it was someone else!”
Seeing Zhou Chao’s annoyed expression and the wrinkles on his clothes, Li Daoming knew that he had interrupted something important for Zhou Chao.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were busy…” Li Daoming deliberately dragged out the last word.
Zhou Chao regained his composure, straightened his clothes, and stepped aside.
“Come on in!”
Zhou Chao led them into the garden, which was more than twice the size of Zhang Liang’s garden.
Li Daoming and his group looked around in amazement.
“Uncle Li, please have a seat. Let me get you some water.”
“Xiao Chao, it’s alright. 1 just dropped by to check in, and we’ll be heading out shortly!” Li Daoming promptly halted Zhou Chao, recognizing that their previous interruption had already been bothersome, and staying any longer would make the situation appear even more annoying.
“Alright, please have a seat for a moment.. I’ll go get you two bottles of wine!”
