As soon as he entered the house, Zhou Chao saw Jiang Li coming down from upstairs.

“Get up, let’s go out for a meal together,” Zhou Chao said with a smile.

“Eh, go out for a meal? With who?”

“With Si Cong, his father, and Zhang Liang from next door. We just talked about something and decided to have lunch together/”

Without hesitation, Jiang Li nodded in agreement. “Let me change my clothes first, wait for me a moment,” she said, then turned and ran upstairs.

Zhou Chao hurriedly called out, “Take your time, no rush.”

“It’s okay!” a voice came from upstairs.

Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly and saw Liu Zhi standing nearby. “Sister Liu, come over here.”

Hearing Zhou Chao’s call, Liu Zhi felt a bit nervous but walked over quickly. “Boss, you can just call me by my name.”

“It’s okay, I always feel awkward calling you guys by your names, besides, you’re older than me by several years. You don’t have to call me boss at home, just call me…” Zhou Chao paused for a moment, not sure what to call himself, as he didn’t really care about such formalities.

“Just call me Young Master Zhou,” he finally decided.

“Okay, Young… Master Zhou!”

“Yeah, we’re going out for lunch later. You guys can take care of yourselves for lunch. There are plenty of dishes at home. Just cook whatever you want. Don’t worry about it. If it’s not enough, just call the property management to deliver. Also, don’t touch anything in the wine cellar. Don’t go in there even during normal times.”

The wine cellar contained a lot of world-class ingredients, worth millions at least. Zhou Chao didn’t want to test human nature with money. He wanted to give them some mental preparation in advance.

“Okay, Young Master Zhou.” Liu Zhi nodded quickly, taking Zhou Chao’s words to heart and planning to tell the others later.

At this time, Jiang Li also came downstairs in a casual outfit.

Soon, a handsome Lamborghini Veneno drove out of the villa. It had been a long time since Zhou Chao had driven this car.

“Brother Chao, where are we going now?”

“To the Hongyi Club in Xuhui District. It’s where Zhang Liang made the reservation,” Zhou Chao replied. As soon as they left the residential area, Zhou Chao lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared down the street.

The Hongyi Club was quite far from where Zhou Chao lived. They got on the expressway as soon as they left, and it took about twenty minutes to get there. Along the way, Zhou Chao sped up a bit, earning him complaints from Jiang Li.

As soon as they parked the car, a young boy ran to the driver’s seat and respectfully opened the door for Zhou Chao.

“Welcome to Hongyi Club.”

“Thank you!” Zhou Chao greeted politely.

Established in 2002, the Hongyi Club was the first private club in Modu. It was said that the place used to be on Huafly Road, but now it was on Huaihai Road, a location with a century-old history and home to various consulates.

Zhou Chao got out of the car and looked around for a moment before leading Jiang Li into the club. As soon as they entered, a middle-aged man in a European-style butler suit hurried over.

“Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Zhou Chao?” the man asked respectfully, bowing slightly.

Zhou Chao looked at him in surprise. “And you are?”

After Zhou Chao’s response, the man’s expression of respect became even stronger. “Mr. Zhou, I am Huasheng, Mr. Zhang Liang’s exclusive personal butler. Mr. Zhang specifically asked me to wait for you here.”

“Thank you.” Zhou Chao nodded gently. Zhang Liang was quite sophisticated, but it made sense considering the many years he had accumulated. He surely had more refined tastes than someone like himself who would surely enjoy such things.

In Zhou Chao’s mind flashed a sentence, “How can someone’s ten years of study outweigh the efforts of generations?” It seemed that there was still a gap between himself in terms of cultivation and mentality compared to those real aristocratic families.

“Mr. Zhou, this way please,” Huasheng said, bending slightly and gesturing with his right hand in the air.

“Let’s go,” Jiang Li hooked her arm with Zhou Chao’s, and the two followed Huasheng into the club.

Zhou Chao then noticed that the interior decoration of the club exuded luxury. Even the smallest details, such as the chairs in the dining area or the small decorations on the walls, had their own unique artistic charm, truly befitting the reputation of being the top club in Modu.

Guided by Huasheng, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li soon arrived at the private room where Zhang Liang and the others were. Huasheng respectfully opened the door, revealing Wang Jianlin and Zhang Liang engrossed in conversation.

Upon entering, Zhou Chao apologized with a hint of regret, “Sorry for keeping you waiting.”

“We just arrived a moment ago, is this young lady your girlfriend, Young Master Zhou?” Wang Jianlin asked curiously, looking at Jiang Li beside Zhou Chao. After all, it wouldn’t be appropriate to bring an outsider to such an occasion.

“She’s not my girlfriend, she’s my legal wife, Jiang Li!” Jiang Li also politely greeted the two.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianlin gave a playful slap on the head to Si Cong, who was watching the scene beside him. “Look, Young Master Zhou is already married, and here you are, fooling around with internet celebrities every day. Can you be serious and find me a daughter-in-law? I want grandchildren!”

Caught off guard, Si Cong now had a confused expression on his face. He was just here to keep the numbers up. How did it suddenly involve him? And Young Master Zhou too. Some innocence flickered in his eyes as he glanced at Zhou Chao.

Seeing the look Si Cong gave him, Zhou Chao could only respond with a helpless smile.

“Lao Wang, it seems you’re just jealous that Young Master Zhou found such a good wife. Why don’t you find someone for Si Cong too?” Zhang Liang, on the side, didn’t mind stirring the pot a bit..
