As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store - Chapter 781

Chapter 781: Visit!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After the late-night discussion, Zhou Chao enjoyed two rare days of tranquility. No one disturbed him with phone calls, and the two old masters didn’t call either to demand the sought-after Dahongpao tea leaves from Wuyi Mountain.

At this moment, Zhou Chao was leisurely reclining in the study chair, casually browsing through explanations of artificial intelligence-related technologies. After two days of reading, he had gained a lot of inspiration.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

The sound of the door interrupted Zhou Chao’s immersion in knowledge.

“Come in!” Zhou Chao pinched his brow and placed the documents in his hand on the desk.

The door opened, and Aunt Kuang briskly walked in.

“Young Master Zhou, there’s a guest downstairs looking for you!” Aunt Kuang said with a hint of excitement.

Zhou Chao was somewhat surprised. It had been a while since he had seen such an expression from Aunt Kuang. Could something good be happening in the Kuang family?

This thought crossed his mind, and without much contemplation, Zhou Chao asked, “Who’s looking for me? Si Cong?”

“No, it’s a big celebrity!”

“A big celebrity?” Zhou Chao paused, realizing he didn’t have any close friends who were big celebrities, let alone knowing where he lived.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Chao couldn’t figure out who it could be.

He wasn’t particularly concerned that Aunt Kuang hadn’t directly mentioned the visitor’s identity. Deliberately keeping it a mystery didn’t bother him much. Whether it was his relationship with her or with Jiang Li, things were quite pleasant. Zhou Chao didn’t like overly strict relationships; a bit of fun was always nice.

“Oh, then I must see who this big celebrity is that you’re talking about!” Zhou Chao smiled.

Putting the documents in the drawer as he stood up, he followed Aunt Kuang downstairs.

Seeing the figure on the sofa, Zhou Chao immediately recognized the big celebrity Aunt Kuang mentioned!

“Brother Hu, what brings you here!”

Indeed, the big celebrity was Brother Hu. Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s voice, he turned around, a slight smile playing on his lips, captivating Zhou Chao for a moment.

“The charm of a male god is immense. Luckily, I’m a man. If I were a woman, wouldn’t this glance make my heart race uncontrollably!”

“Young Master Zhou, sorry to disturb your rest!” Brother Hu quickly stood up and said.

“Hey, hey, hey, don’t be like this. I’m your fan and also a friend. You’re being too formal!” Zhou Chao said playfully.

Although Brother Hu hadn’t spent much time with Zhou Chao, he had learned from Si Cong and others about Zhou Chao’s personality. He knew that Zhou Chao was quite easygoing with friends and didn’t put on any airs.

“By the way, Young Master Zhou, it’s my first visit, and I didn’t know what to bring, so I brought some tea leaves. I hope you don’t mind!”

Seeing the small gift bag handed over by Brother Hu, Zhou Chao directly reached out to take it. “Hahaha, not at all, not at all. I happen to love this.”

“Aunt Kuang, please take care of this for me.” Zhou Chao smiled as he handed the gift bag to Aunt Kuang.

Aunt Kuang was astute and understood the unspoken message from the boss. She took the gift bag and left, leaving Zhou Chao and Brother Hu alone.

“Feel free to sit, no need to be formal here!” Zhou Chao said as he sat on the sofa.

Seeing this, Brother Hu didn’t hesitate and sat down as well.

“Brother Hu, how did you know where I live? I don’t recall mentioning it before.” Zhou Chao voiced his doubts as soon as he sat down.

“Hehe, I called Si Cong and asked.”

Zhou Chao nodded faintly. Judging from Brother Hu’s demeanor, there must be something important he wanted to discuss.

At that moment, Aunt Kuang approached with two cups of tea and a fruit platter.

After Aunt Kuang left with the items, Zhou Chao continued, “I assume you didn’t just come here to bring me tea leaves. Tell me, what can I help you with?”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s question, Brother Hu seemed a bit awkward and remained silent for a moment, seemingly hesitant to speak.

Scratching his head, Brother Hu tried to calm himself before slowly speaking, “Zhou Chao, I’m getting married and I’d like you to attend the wedding. It’s going to be a simple ceremony with very few guests.”

Zhou Chao immediately understood Brother Hu’s intention. After all, the circle they moved in was a huge fishbowl. If news of Brother Hu’s marriage were to leak out, it would cause quite a stir in the entertainment industry, especially for someone like Brother Hu, whose influence was substantial.

There are various types of fans of celebrities, including those who support their relationships and those who are more focused on their appearance. This has led to many fans being unwilling to see their favorite stars dating or getting married, which has resulted in many celebrities in the industry keeping their marriages secret.

“You’re getting married? Why haven’t you mentioned it before? Is she from the industry or outside?” Although he understood Brother Hu’s plan, Zhou Chao was still somewhat surprised. Brother Hu had managed to keep his relationship under wraps!

“Hehe, she’s an ordinary person from outside the industry. We’ve known each other for a long time. I’m not getting any younger now, so it’s time to consider settling down!”

Seeing the happiness on Brother Hu’s face, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but sigh, “The professional best man is finally getting married!”

“Well done, Brother Hu! There hasn’t been a whisper of your relationship outside. It seems like our domestic paparazzi need to brush up on their skills!”

The fact that there was no information about Brother Hu’s relationship in the industry spoke volumes about the effectiveness of his confidentiality measures!
