As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store - Chapter 649
Chapter 649: What Exactly Is His Origin! (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Dragonfly Group?!” Liu Xu stood up directly, staring at Wang Hao with disbelief in his eyes.
“Young Master Wang, are you talking about the rising giant in Modu?” Several other rich second-generation individuals also felt shocked.
Although all of them were nominally rich second-generation, each of them had their own industries and understood some of the fluctuations in the domestic market to some extent.
Because of this understanding, everyone was astonished. To stand out and become one of the representatives of the Modu business district in such a fiercely competitive environment was a significant achievement, and the implications were clear to everyone present.
Furthermore, the current development of the Dragonfly Group has exceeded everyone’s imagination. Based on the information Wang Hao had shared, everyone present could only look up to it. Even Liu Xu, as the eldest of the Liu family, was no exception.
“Are you suggesting that this Zhou Chao is the hidden boss behind the Dragonfly Group? I remember the boss of Dragonfly is named Ling Chen, right?”
Liu Xu still couldn’t believe her ears and asked again.
“Yes, Zhou Chao is indeed the hidden boss behind the Dragonfly Group, there’s no doubt about it. When I was invited back to the university for an event, I met him. At that time, Ling Chen was right beside him.”
For a moment, Liu Xu also felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. He also learned a bit about Zhou Chao’s background.
“Wang Hao, what exactly is Zhou Chao’s background? Could he also be someone from our circle?” Liu Xu asked again, pointing his finger towards the sky.
Wang Hao lowered his head and pondered for a while before shaking it gently.
“I’m not very clear about it either. Although we were college classmates, I don’t really understand his background. But I think it shouldn’t be simple.
Otherwise, within less than two years, he wouldn’t have been able to build such a large company like the Dragonfly Group.”
It was precisely because of the last alumni gathering where Zhou Chao had made him lose face that Wang Hao had investigated a bit. Otherwise, during their time in Jinling, how could Zhou Chao have left so smoothly?
As he thought about this, Wang Hao looked at Wang Xun beside him and shook his head slightly. He knew that it was probably impossible to recover his losses this time.
Liu Xu fell into contemplation upon hearing this. Could Zhou Chao really have a background in the capital circle? He hadn’t heard of it before. Could it be that he wasn’t on the same level as him?
Various thoughts flashed through Liu Xu’s mind.
In the end, he couldn’t make a decision, unsure whether he should continue to trouble Zhou Chao and regain the face he had lost before.
“Liu Xu, why don’t you give Young Master Li a call and ask? After all, someone like Young Master Li, who stands out in that circle, should be quite knowledgeable about these things.”
“That’s right. Giving Young Master Li a call is a good idea. Someone at Young Master Li’s level should know quite a few people. If even he doesn’t know, then it’s likely that Zhou Chao just got lucky and made his fortune,” Wang Hao echoed from the side.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Liu Xu’s face. “Exactly, just because I don’t know, doesn’t mean that someone else won’t either!”
‘Til give Young Master Li a call and ask.” Saying this, Liu Xu took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.
Meanwhile, Wang Xun, who had just come to his senses after the revelations from his elder brother, whispered in Wang Hao’s ear, “Bro, who is this Young Master Li you guys are talking about? Is he even more awesome than Liu Xu?”
In Wang Xun’s understanding, Liu Xu, as the successor of the billion-dollar Liu Group, was already a heavyweight in the domestic business circle. He didn’t expect there to be even more formidable figures.
As someone within this circle, Liu Xu naturally knew the background of this so-called Young Master Li. Despite the impressive status of the Liu family in the business world, they were completely outmatched by Young Master Li.
“Adult matters are not for children to inquire about. Just know that he is someone more impressive than Young Master Liu,” Wang Hao glanced at Wang Xun and said, feeling somewhat troubled by his unreliable younger brother.
The call was quickly answered. All the rich second-generation individuals present held their breath, not daring to exhale loudly.
“Xiao Liu, what’s up?” A somewhat lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this voice, Liu Xu quickly stood up, put on a flattering smile, bowed slightly, and softly said, “Sorry to bother you, Young Master Li. I just wanted to consult you about something!”
This scene directly stunned the people present. They hadn’t expected Liu Xu to be so respectful even when making a phone call. Although they secretly felt like criticizing, they couldn’t help but admire Liu Xu’s attitude. If it were them, they probably wouldn’t be much better off.
“Go ahead, what’s the matter?” Young Master Li said indifferently.
“Young Master Li, do you happen to know someone named Zhou Chao in your circle?”
“Zhou Chao?!’1 Young Master Li’s voice instantly heightened.
Hearing Young Master Li’s surprised tone, Liu Xu’s heart skipped a beat. He had already guessed that Zhou Chao might be on the same level as Young Master Li. Liu Xu swallowed nervously and said cautiously, “Young Master Li, do you know him?”
“Of course I do. Have you gotten involved with him?” Young Master Li returned to his previous tone, sounding much calmer.
“Um… not really. It’s just a minor disagreement!”
Liu Xu thought for a moment. The conflict between herself and Zhou Chao wasn’t that significant, so he wasn’t wrong in saying so.
Young Master Li remained silent, leaving Liu Xu standing there holding his phone quietly.
After about ten seconds, Young Master Li’s voice came through again. “It’s best if you haven’t offended him. If you really did something, quickly find a way to apologize. If Zhou Chao is truly angered and comes after you, I won’t be able to help you. I’ve said what 1 needed to. Think about it yourself.”
With that, Young Master Li hung up the phone.
Liu Xu stood there, feeling empty, without moving.
Wang Hao, sensing something was wrong, quickly approached and whispered, “Young Master Liu, Young Master Liu, what’s wrong!”
He called out several times before Liu Xu snapped out of it. Even the phone in his hand almost slipped to the ground, but luckily, Wang Hao caught it in time. “What happened, Young Master Liu? What did Young Master Li say?”
Seeing Liu Xu’s state, Wang Hao had a vague guess about what had happened but still wanted to hear the details from Liu Xu.
Liu Xu had strong mental resilience. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be qualified to inherit the Liu Group. He quickly regained his composure.
“It’s nothing. Let’s end today’s gathering here. I need to take a rest!” Liu Xu said lightly, but if one looked closely, one could see a hint of sorrow in his eyes. Wang Hao and the others exchanged glances, understanding the situation. After informing Liu Xu, they all left the villa.
After Wang Hao and the others left, Liu Xu sighed deeply, feeling somewhat melancholic. “What kind of background does he have to make even Young Master Li tread carefully?”
Meanwhile, in a courtyard near Shichahai in Jingdu, the person referred to by Liu Xu as Young Master Li was lying on a lounge chair.
“I wonder how Liu Xu got involved with Zhou Chao. Zhou Chao usually keeps a low profile and doesn’t pick fights. Could it be that Liu Xu, this foolish man, actively sought trouble? Well, I’ve already warned him. He probably won’t go looking for trouble with Zhou Chao anymore.
Enough thinking about it. It’s not my business anyway. When it rains, it pours. If he doesn’t listen to advice, he can only blame himself for his own actions!”
If Zhou Chao were here, he would recognize the respected Young Master Li mentioned by Liu Xu and others as Li Yao, one of Jingdu’s top young elites.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chao had just finished lunch with Abdullah and arrived at the beach.
During lunch, Abdullah suggested surfing at the beach, and Zhou Chao agreed without hesitation.
A trip to the beach wouldn’t be complete without trying everything there is to do.
Originally, Zhou Chao intended to invite Si Cong, Hou Ting, and others, but when he called, they were all still sleeping. They probably worked late last night after returning to the hotel.
Watching the surfers in the waves, Zhou Chao and Abdullah’s enthusiasm was ignited.
“Gogogo!”
