“Come and savor my tea. This is a touch of the historical Yuqian Longjing,” Zhou Chao offered, pouring a generous portion of the tea he had steeped for Si Cong.

Si Cong looked at the tea, clear and without any residue. A fragrant aroma enveloped the senses, bringing a refreshing feeling.

Speaking of which, with your low-key demeanor, why did you let Lao Piao livestream your car? Aren’t you afraid of gaining online fame in the future?

“No worries, it’s just a small matter. Besides, he helped me promote a game previously.”

“A game? In this case, you should have asked me. I can share it on V-Bo. Give me the link, I’ll help you post it.” Seeing this, Zhou Chao sent the game link to Si Cong.

Soon, Si Cong made a post on V-Bo, after all, he had been active there for a while. In no time, he received thousands of likes and comments.

“Ding dong.” Si Cong glanced at his phone and looked up at Zhou Chao, saying, “Guess who sent me a message?”

“Qin Fen,” Zhou Chao said without even looking up.

“Damn, how did you know?”

“Isn’t that obvious? You asked me, so of course I know. Besides him, who else could make you react like this?” Zhou Chao stared at him as if he were looking at a fool. Si Cong scratched his head; Zhou Chao’s statement made perfect sense.

“He’s asking me who’s advertising the game. I told him it’s you, and then he ignored me!”

“Hahaha, that’s just Qin Fen’s personality.”

The two of them continued to chat, moving from the esports circle to the world of internet celebrities. Si Cong even mentioned the possibility of taking Zhou Chao to see some internet celebrities, an offer that Zhou Chao promptly declined.

“Click.” Zhou Chao looked up and saw Lao Piao and Xiao Ning entering with excited expressions.

“Lao Piao, Xiao Ning, come have some tea.” Zhou Chao waved to them.

Oddly enough, the barrage in the live stream room was unanimously saying:

“We want to see Big Brother Drifting.”

“Let us see big brother.”

“We want to see the big brother’s extraordinary looks.”

Lao Piao turned the camera towards himself and walked over to the two.

“Young Master Zhou, Young Master Cong.” Lao Piao placed his phone on the table, and the angle was just right to capture Lao Piao and Xiao Ning, while Zhou Chao and Si Cong were completely out of view.

“Lao Piao, Xiao Ning, come have some tea.” Zhou Chao poured a cup of tea for each of them.

“Lao Piao, why don’t you show us Big Brother Drifting?”

“There’s a saying that goes, ‘Heard of but not seen’.”

“The one above has a good literary style.”

“Hey, 1 understand you’re curious about what Big Brother Drifting looks like. However, he prefers to keep his real identity hidden on the internet. But here’s a tidbit I can share: Big Brother Drifting is hands down the most handsome man I’ve ever come across,” Lao Piao explained with a helpless smile as the barrage of comments continued to pour in.

“Damn, so you’re saying I’m not as handsome as him!” Hearing what Lao Piao said, Si Cong, who was sitting nearby, immediately retorted.

Lao Piao and Xiao Ning glanced at Zhou Chao and Si Cong, nodding in agreement.

“Hahaha, Si Cong, you’re setting yourself up for this teasing.” Seeing Lao Piao and the two of them share the same amused expression, Zhou Chao burst into laughter.

The conversation of the few of them was heard by the livestream audience. This only piqued their curiosity even more about what Big Brother Drifting looked like.

“Big Brother, can I have a look?” Lao Piao held up his phone, wondering if it was okay to take pictures.

“Feel free to take pictures.” Zhou Chao pondered for a moment; there was nothing in the house that couldn’t be seen, so he nodded in agreement.

Lao Piao immediately went upstairs. Of course, he wouldn’t enter the bedroom or any private areas. Once upstairs, he took a quick glance and then headed towards the outdoor swimming pool and terrace.

“Brothers, today I’m showing you the view of the Huangpu River.” Saying this, he turned the camera outside, instantly giving everyone in the livestream room a feeling of overlooking the mountains.

“Brothers, look across, that’s the famous Bund of Modu. The view at night is even more beautiful.”

Lao Piao immediately noticed that the barrage in the live stream started flooding in.

“The view is amazing.”

“Is this the duplex penthouse at The Palms Residence?” There were still viewers who recognized the location right away.

Lao Piao sat on the terrace and chatted with the audience in the live stream.

“Zhou Chao, any plans recently?”

“Me? If I don’t have much going on, I’ll just read books and play games at home.” Suddenly, Zhou Chao thought that he could take some time to review the theoretical knowledge of the photolithography machine. If possible, he could start studying a part of it.

“I haven’t had much going on lately either. It’s almost the end of the year, and there will be various company events and annual meetings to attend.”

“You’re right, 1 almost forgot. I’ll be quite busy then. Once these things are settled, I might be heading to Jingdu!”

“Why are you going to Jingdu?” Si Cong was also puzzled. He knew that Zhou Chao didn’t have much business interest there, except for the villa worth over a billion yuan.

“Hehe, my girlfriend is coming back. I want to spend time with her.” Si Cong felt like he was being a bit showy.

“A woman who can captivate you must have something extraordinary about her.” Zhou Chao thought for a moment about Jiang Li’s exceptional qualities—she was beautiful, had a great figure, and was gentle, capable, and resilient.

“Of course, who else could match me besides an exceptional person like her?” Si Cong looked at Zhou Chao’s confident expression and couldn’t argue. He had wealth and good looks.

“Thud, thud, thud.” Zhou Chao and Si Cong turned their attention as Lao Piao and Xiao Ning descended the stairs. At that moment, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for his staircase.

“Are you done with the live stream?” Zhou Chao saw that Lao Piao and Xiao Ning had put away their phones.

“Yeah, the livestream is over. Thanks to Young Master Zhou, the live stream reached 100,000 viewers.” Lao Piao’s face was already beaming with a happy smile as he spoke.

“It was just a small matter.”

“Speaking of which, Young Master Zhou, during the livestream, a few car bloggers expressed interest in using my video. They want to provide insights about your car. I’m uncertain about whether it’s acceptable.”

“You can handle that. However, it’s best to choose those with a good reputation in the industry. I don’t want any trouble because of these people.” Zhou Chao pondered for a moment.

“You can rest assured, I’ll definitely handle it properly.” Lao Piao patted his massive chest.

“Alright, Si Cong, how about making some plans for the evening?” The topic suddenly shifted to Si Cong, who felt a bit lost.

“How about you come with me to the club? We can help you rank up in the game tonight.”

“Play games? Sure, but make sure there’s plenty of good food. It must include the kind of big lobsters.”

“Consider it done.” Si Cong gave Zhou Chao a playful look, finally giving in.

“Gogogo!” The group set out from The Palms Residence, heading straight to the IG eSports Club in Shimao Binjiang.

Once again, Si Cong relished the sensation of being in a Pagani, where everyone gave way to him.

“Let’s go, let’s play the game and aim for a high rank today..”
