Zhou Chao slept until around 1 o’clock in the afternoon, and he felt much more refreshed when he finally woke up from his slumber.
“Brother Chao, you’re awake. Are you hungry? 1’11 call Aunt Wang to prepare some food for you right away,” Jiang Li said as she saw Zhou Chao coming down from upstairs. She stood up and headed towards the backyard.
She called out while walking, “Aunt Wang, Brother Chao is awake. Can you prepare some hot food for him?”
Seeing Jiang Li’s caring demeanor, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smile with a sense of happiness.
Sitting on the couch, he picked up his fully charged phone and began checking the updates online. He saw many posts and news articles about the aftermath of the Fuzhou North Mountain fire. The once lush green trees had turned to ashes, altering the picturesque landscape of the mountains. However, given the circumstances, this was considered a fortunate outcome.
As Zhou Chao was browsing through the news, he heard Jiang Li’s voice, and he looked in her direction. She was carrying a large plate from the kitchen.
“Brother Chao, it’s time to eat!”
“Why did you go to the kitchen? You should sit on the couch. I’ll serve myself.” Zhou Chao hurriedly put down his phone and walked over.
“I’m only pregnant for a few months, and you’re already acting like this. Don’t worry; 1 take it like I’m getting some exercise!” Jiang Li was both amused and exasperated by Zhou Chao’s behavior.
“You, 1 can’t argue with you. But still, take care of yourself!” Zhou Chao playfully tapped her nose.
“I know, old man,” Jiang Li teased before heading to the living room.
Zhou Chao chuckled and shook his head, then sat down to eat. He was famished since he hadn’t eaten anything in the morning or at noon. He devoured the food on the table.
“All Li, 1 might need to go to Modu today for some business related to Peng City. I’ve been delaying it for so long, and 1 need to go and handle them.” Zhou Chao thought about the things that Old Master Xiao had mentioned earlier and also remembered the firefighters, armed police, and numerous volunteers from last night. He realized it was time for him to start taking action and do something.”
“I know,” Jiang Li replied without lifting her head.
Zhou Chao glanced at her and saw that she was engrossed in a chat conversation in the “Battle for Baby” group.
After a brief moment, Zhou Chao got up and headed to the backyard. He took out his phone and called Dole to prepare for a flight to Modu.
After the call, Zhou Chao looked back at Jiang Li, who was still chatting, and called over the busy Aunt Wang.
“Boss, did you need something?” Aunt Wang asked somewhat nervously.
“Aunt Wang, didn’t 1 ask you to find an assistant before? Have you found someone?”
“Yes, 1 found someone. Boss, whenever you have time, 1’11 bring her over for you to meet.”
“I don’t need to see the person. 1 trust your judgment, Aunt Wang. Starting tomorrow, have her come to work. Her salary is temporarily set at ten thousand. We’ll evaluate her performance later. I’m going to leave soon, so take care of Jiang Li. If you have any issues, feel free to call me.”
“Alright, Boss.”
“Okay, you can go back to your work.”
Aunt Wang turned around and continued with her cleaning tasks.
Zhou Chao went back to his room, changed into fresh clothes, and shared a tender moment with Jiang Li. Afterward, he got into his car and headed to the airport. Initially, Jiang Li wanted to drive him to the airport, but Zhou Chao refused, expressing concerns about her driving back alone.
When Zhou Chao arrived at the airport, it was already an hour later. After parking his car, he placed the keys in the system warehouse and swiftly made his way through the airport’s fast-track passage to board his private plane.
“Boss, we’ll have to wait for another 20 minutes. You can rest for a while,” Dole said as he stood beside Zhou Chao.
“I understand. Go ahead and take care of things,” Zhou Chao replied, waving his hand.
“Sure thing, Boss,” Dole said before returning to the cockpit.
As Zhou Chao looked outside at the sunny weather, he quietly activated his system.
“System, check-in!”
“Check-in successful. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill: Quick Learning (Mastering anything after seeing it once, e.g., knowledge)!”
Upon hearing the system’s announcement, Zhou Chao furrowed his brows. What was the use of this skill? Did he need to actively learn something?
After pondering for a while, Zhou Chao couldn’t figure it out and decided to leave it for later. He would explore its potential when he returned home.
While he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a vibration. When he snapped back to reality, he realized that the plane was already on the runway, accelerating for takeoff.
Watching the plane ascend, Zhou Chao found a comfortable position to lie down and rest. After all, the flight would take two and a half hours, and he didn’t intend to sit upright the entire time.
When Zhou Chao woke up from his nap, he noticed that the plane was already flying over the skies of Modu. They circled in the air for about five minutes before receiving clearance from the control tower to land.
“These international metropolises are really something else; even airplanes have to wait in line!”
The plane landed quickly, and Zhou Chao left the airport in a shuttle bus. At the airport’s entrance, he spotted Lin Wu, who had been waiting there, holding a large orange cat and watching the people coming and going in the airport lobby.
When Lin Wu saw Zhou Chao’s figure at the airport entrance, he hurriedly approached.
“Boss!”
“Yeah, I made you wait for a while. Oh, isn’t this the big chubby orange cat, my Shoufu?” Zhou Chao commented as he noticed that the cat Lin Wu was holding had grown even plumper.
Hearing its name called, Shoufu raised its head, which was larger than an adult’s fist, and looked at Zhou Chao with an innocent expression. It let out a couple of meows, seemingly welcoming him back..
