Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When the two of them arrived in Rong City, it was already past one in the morning. The streets were still bustling at this late hour.

The person behind the wheel had changed from Wang Feng to Zhou Chao, while Wang Feng was now sleeping soundly in the back seat.

Zhou Chao drove straight to the lively Chunxi Road, where the real excitement was happening at this moment.

“Wang Feng, wake up!” Zhou Chao found a parking spot on Chunxi Road and was about to wake up Wang Feng.

“Mmm, boss, where are we?” Wang Feng rubbed his somewhat blurry eyes and glanced outside.

“We’ve arrived in Rong City. First, let’s have some food, then we’ll find a hotel for the night!”

Wang Feng immediately sat up, rubbed his face, and tried to wake himself up.

The two of them found a hotpot restaurant with good business, ordered more than a dozen dishes, and prepared to feast. During this time, Wang Feng booked a hotel online, and by the time they finished eating, it was already three in the morning!

After arriving at the hotel, they both lay down on the bed and, after a while, drifted off to sleep. They didn’t even bother to take off their clothes, which still carried various odors.

They slept until noon, with the sun high in the sky. Zhou Chao woke up from his slumber.

“Goodness, this smells terrible!” Zhou Chao stretched lazily and immediately noticed the sour stench on his clothes.

He quickly got up, took off all his clothes, and headed straight for the bathroom.

Wearing only a bath towel, Zhou Chao came out of the bathroom, his hair wet, and occasional droplets of water sliding down his chest.

“These clothes are unusable. I can’t even go out to buy new ones. What a mess. Let’s see how Wang Feng is doing!”

He picked up his phone and called Wang Feng.

Boss, are you awake?” The sound of a hairdryer could be heard on the other end of the line.

“Why is it so noisy on your end? What are you doing?”

Wang Feng quickly turned off the hairdryer and said, “I washed my clothes and was about to blow-dry them.”

Zhou Chao felt like a group of crows were flying over his head and said irritably, “You’re really clever!”

After saying that, Zhou Chao hung up the phone, leaving Wang Feng looking confused.

With no other choice, Zhou Chao picked up his phone again and dialed another number.

“Hey, Young Master Zhou, why are you suddenly calling me?” A very charismatic voice came from the other end.

“Lao Hou, are you in Rong City? 1 need your help urgently!”

“Yeah, I’m here. When did you arrive? What’s going on?”

“I arrived last night, and it’s a long story. Can you bring me a set, no, two sets of clothes to Chunxi Road? I’m staying at a hotel nearby. We can talk more when we meet.”

“Sure, I’m staying close by too. Just send me your sizes, and I’ll buy them for you.”

“Great, I’ll send you the sizes. Thanks, Lao Hou!

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao sent his clothing sizes and room number to Hou Ting. Wang Feng and he were roughly the same size, with Wang Feng being slightly shorter, but the difference wasn’t significant.

After handling everything, Zhou Chao tidied up the clothes he had taken off earlier and lay down on the bed, patiently waiting for Hou Ting’s arrival.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on Zhou Chao’s door. He quickly opened it and saw Hou Ting holding two bags, with a girl standing behind him.

“Oh my god, why didn’t you mention there was a girl with you!” Zhou Chao quickly stepped aside, but his perfectly toned upper body had already caught the attention of Hou Ting and the girl.

“Ahem ahem, 1 didn’t know you weren’t wearing clothes. Here, take the clothes first, and you can change before we come in.” Hou Ting handed over the clothes with a playful smile.

“Wait a moment,” Zhou Chao didn’t hesitate to take the bags and closed the door.

“Brother Ting, your friend has a good physique. Does he have a girlfriend?” The curvaceous beauty curiously looked at Hou Ting.

“Xiao Yan, forget about him. He’s already married. Even if he wasn’t, he’s an unattainable man for you!” Hou Ting looked at the beautiful woman next to him with a smile.

Is that true? That’s impressive. Which family is he from? I’ve never heard of him.”

“I’m telling you, he made it on his own. He’s a self-made hidden wealthy man. Don’t be fooled by his youth; his capabilities and background are not simple!”

“Oh, the more you say, the more curious I become!” He Yan seemed to have thought of something and revealed a mischievous smile.

“I advise you to curb your curiosity; it can kill the cat!” Hou Ting’s words had just fallen silent when Zhou Chao opened the door.

“What are you talking about? Come on in, I’ll go to the next room!” Zhou Chao invited them in and walked out with the bags of clothes.

A moment later, Zhou Chao returned.

“What’s going on? It must be something really embarrassing to make Young Master Zhou feel this awkward!” Hou Ting sat on the sofa, wearing a curious expression and fully prepared for some juicy gossip!

Uh, the more I talk about it, the more ridiculous it sounds.”

“The more you say that, the more curious I get. What happened?”

Zhou Chao let out a deep sigh before saying, “Yesterday evening, 1 drove from Chang’an to Rong City, and it was already past midnight when I arrived. We had hotpot, and by the time we got to the hotel, it was past 3 in the morning. 1 slept until morning, and when I woke up, there was a sour stench all over my body. It almost drove me crazy!”

“Hahaha, that’s hilarious! Why did you even decide to drive here? Isn’t it more convenient to take a flight?”

“Talking about it makes me even more baffled. I checked online before, and it showed it would take only about 2 hours. But later, 1 realized that I was checking the train schedule. It’s really messed up!” As Zhou Chao finished speaking, he couldn’t help but swear.

Hou Ting and He Yan burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs and wiping tears from their eyes.

They laughed heartily for a while before finally calming down.

“Brother Chao, you’re really hilarious. 1 laughed so hard that tears came out!” He Yan wiped away the tears from her laughter with a tissue.

ii

By the way, Young Master Zhou, let me introduce my younger sister, He Yan. Our family is in the real estate business in this southwestern region, so if you ever need any help, you can reach out to her.”

Zhou Chao saw He Yan extend her hand, so he quickly reached out his gentlemanly hand and gently shook He Yan’s fingers.

“It’s just about mealtime. How about we have a meal together, and in the afternoon, we can take a look at your headquarters in Rong City?”

“That works. Wait a moment; let me call my bodyguard.” Zhou Chao opened the door and saw that Wang Feng had already changed into clothes and was standing straight at the door.

“Hey, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you knock on the door?”

“Boss, I heard you talking to someone earlier, so 1 didn’t want to disturb you.”

Zhou Chao nodded in response, then turned to Hou Ting and He Yan.

Let’s go, Young Master Hou, you can arrange everything today!”

“Don’t worry, i’ll make sure you’re satisfied!”

The four of them left the hotel and headed to the parking lot.

“Brother Chao, do you want to ride in my car?” He Yan leaned against a pink McLaren, looking at Zhou Chao with a playful smile.

“No need, 1 drove here myself. I’ll stick with my own car!” Zhou Chao smiled and declined He Yan’s invitation, while Hou Ting secretly chuckled.

He Yan, who had been rebuffed, shot Hou Ting a glance, raised her eyebrows, and with a smile, got into her own car.

Zhou Chao shook his head, sighed lightly, and then opened his car door and got in.

After a while, the three cars exited the hotel parking lot, drawing the attention of many passersby on Chunxi Road.

After driving for approximately io minutes, the group arrived at a place that resembled an estate or manor.

“This is one of the best private kitchens in Rong City. You’ll get to taste some authentic Sichuan cuisine later!” Hou Ting said mysteriously.

I’m looking forward to it!” Zhou Chao was curious about the private kitchen that Hou Ting mentioned.

The four of them entered, and Hou Ting took out a diamond card from his pocket and handed it to the staff. After some processing, a hostess led them inside.

Pavilions, terraces, small bridges, and flowing water it felt like they had stepped into a grand garden!

“My father’s card. If it weren’t for you coming today, I wouldn’t dare to use it secretly!” After they were seated, the server brought tea and then handed them a menu.

“Take a look at the menu, see if there’s anything you like!” Zhou Chao glanced at the menu and, at a glance, knew that he would be able to taste authentic Sichuan dishes today.

“Can we order the boiled cabbage in hot water right away?”

“Sure, you can order any of the dishes listed on the menu!” Zhou Chao was a bit surprised by the response but didn’t dwell on it. Since the server said so, he decided to give it a try.

“In that case, let’s have one serving of boiled cabbage in hot water, mapo tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao chicken, steamed dumplings with a clear broth, and twice-cooked pork! We’ll start with these dishes. Young Master Hou, He Yan, do you think we need to order anything else?”

“No need, this should be enough!” Hou Ting quickly waved his hand.

He Yan also shook her hand, indicating that it was enough.

“Young Master Zhou, is there something you want to accomplish in Rong City this time?”

“I don’t have any specific plans. 1 came to Rong City to pick up my wife. She’s currently conducting research in North Sichuan, and she’ll be done in a couple of days. I’m just here to pick her up.” Zhou Chao didn’t hide his purpose and stated it openly.

“Let’s go check out your club in the afternoon. 1 heard that a team from Modu has been performing exceptionally well recently. Coach Hong arranged a match between the first and second teams, and the second team was completely dominated!”

“That’s because they’ve been working hard. 1 hope they can achieve good results in the summer tournament!” Zhou Chao smiled faintly. After all, with this lineup, as long as the internal dynamics remained stable, winning should be straightforward.

“It would be great if they could win the championship!” Hou Ting had a dreamy look in his eyes, imagining the day they could clinch the championship.

“Let’s hope so!” Zhou Chao didn’t want to make any absolute statements, as he never knew what unexpected challenges might arise.

Time passed slowly as the four of them chatted. Zhou Chao and Hou Ting’s conversation grew more enthusiastic, with He Yan occasionally chiming in.

“Knock knock knock!”
