“Ding, ding, ding.” Just as Zhou Chao was about to hang up the call, the deep and weighty voice of Xiao Yang came through from the other end.

“Zhou Chao, is there something you need?”

“Brother Yang, 1… 1 wanted to ask if you have any retired veterans. I’m thinking of setting up a security company.” Zhou Chao hesitated in the end, not mentioning the matter of the lithography machine.

“Just about this matter? Nothing else?”

“Nothing, nothing… Brother Yang, it’s just for this.”

“Alright, when 1 have some free time, 1’11 take a look. If there are suitable candidates, 1’11 send them your way.”

“Alright, Brother Yang, you can go ahead with your tasks.” As the call disconnected on the other end, Zhou Chao leaned against the back of his chair and released a sigh.

In the end, Zhou Chao still hadn’t voiced his concerns. He was worried about the potential consequences of this matter. After all, he lacked support from behind, even if the Xiao family helped him. How long could they provide assistance? Only by becoming stronger could he command respect.

Taking two USB drives out of the drawer, Zhou Chao held them in his hand and played with them for a moment. “System, deposit in the system’s repository.”

As he looked at the USB drives stored in the repository, Zhou Chao let out a heavy sigh, feeling as if he had let go of something.

Sitting there lost in thought for a while, he couldn’t come up with a promising direction for development. He could only anticipate what good things might come from future check-ins.

Rising from his seat, Zhou Chao walked out of the study and spotted Lin Wu standing by the stairs. He approached him.

“Why not take a rest? Why stay standing here?” Zhou Chao gently patted Lin Wu’s shoulder.

“I’m just afraid that if you need me for something, 1 won’t hear you from downstairs.” Hearing his reply, Zhou Chao smiled warmly.

“Let’s go, time for a meal. We’re having something nice today.”

Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Chao’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Si Cong.

“Hello, Zhou Chao, do you have plans this afternoon? Would you like to come to my club for some fun?”

“Nothing planned, 1 just haven’t eaten yet. If you’re treating me to a feast, I’ll come.”

“Sure, come over. We have a cafeteria here, and I’ll have the chef prepare something for you right now.”

“Alright, I’ll be there in a moment.” Hearing Si Cong’s enthusiastic response, Zhou Chao didn’t waste time. He turned around, changed his clothes, grabbed his keys, and got ready to head out.

“Lin Wu, go over to the old villa and make some arrangements. Prepare more daily necessities. There might be quite a few people coming over in a while. Get things ready in advance.”

“Sure thing, Boss. I got it.” Zhou Chao took the keys to the Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta and walked out.

The blue and black Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta cruised through the streets of Modu, capturing the attention of onlookers.

“Wow, hubby, the car in front driven by that man looks so cool. Let’s go closer and take a look.” Sitting in the passenger seat of a BMW, a woman playfully pouted at the man.

“Look? Are you kidding me? If you don’t pay attention and accidentally bump into it, we might have to sell our house!” The man’s hand trembled slightly, and he slowed down.

“Oh, how much does that car cost, honey?”

“Not much, just 28o million. Still want to take a look?”

“No, let’s slow down a bit more, dear.” The woman nervously looked at the man driving.

Just as the two were engaged in a playful argument, the Pagani had already disappeared from their view.

Sicong’s club was situated in the upscale Binjiang area of Pudong, Modu. It was a place where one could enjoy the night view of the Huangpu River right from home. Zhou Chao drove his Pagani smoothly into the neighborhood.

“Hey, Si Cong, I’ve arrived at the basement.”

“Just wait a moment, 1’11 come down to pick you up.” It wasn’t long before Si Cong’s figure appeared in the basement.

“Si Cong.”

Seeing Zhou Chao stepping out of a Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta, Si Cong’s eyes widened in astonishment. He quickly walked over.

“Damn, damn! Is this your car? You actually have a Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta!”

“Give me the keys!” Zhou Chao didn’t waste time, immediately passing the keys of the Pagani to Si Cong.

“Vroorn-” Zhou Chao watched as Si Cong studied the car for a while inside, reluctantly getting out after a few minutes.

“It truly lives up to its 280 million value. Brother Chao, how about letting me take it for a spin sometime?” Si Cong looked at Zhou Chao with anticipation.

“Alright, alright. When you have time, you can take it out for a ride. Don’t give me that kind of look, I’m not interested in men.”

“Get lost! Come on, let’s go up and check out my club.” Saying that, Si Cong headed towards the elevator, with Zhou Chao following closely.

“Hey, Ning, did you sell me out?” Upon entering, Zhou Chao immediately heard Lao Piao’s booming voice.

“Why is Lao Piao here at your place?” Zhou Chao looked at Si Cong with confusion.

“He was planning to livestream outdoors today, but somehow it ended up being broadcast from my place. And to top it off, he managed to time it right around mealtime. Can you believe it?”

“Hahaha, that’s funny! Don’t mind me, I haven’t eaten either. My stomach’s growling like crazy.” Zhou Chao rubbed his stomach, clearly quite hungry.

“Everything’s been prepared already. Let’s go!” By this time, Lao Piao had noticed their arrival and quickly stood up.

“Why are you here too, Young Master Zhou?” Lao Piao looked at Zhou Chao, who was heading towards the dining hall, and asked with confusion.

“Si Cong invited me to visit. You guys go ahead and have fun. I’ll grab a meal first, and then you can help me rank up later.”

“Sure thing, no problem.” Lao Piao patted his ample chest and smiled at the people around. After all, he was the kind of man who would get warnings for wearing low-cut outfits while livestreaming.

As the two entered the dining hall, Ning approached Lao Piao and asked in a low voice, “Lao Piao, who’s that person?”

Even Rookie and Duke perked up their ears to listen.

“Hehe, all you need to know is that he’s even more awesome than Si Cong. Don’t ask too much about the rest, just remember to call him Young Master Zhou.” The group fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

“Well, did you order takeout?” Zhou Chao was currently busy peeling a large lobster.

“You already know, and you’re still asking me.”

“Haha, did 1 make you spend too much? Well, next time, get a few more lobsters. These two aren’t enough,” Zhou Chao complained while eating.

Si Cong glanced at the table where two portions of steak, a fruit salad, salt-baked duck, and two large lobsters had vanished, almost believing Zhou Chao’s nonsense.

“Do you have any plans this afternoon? If not, do you mind if I come over to take a look and familiarize myself with the place?” Zhou Chao finished the last bite of lobster meat and looked at Si Cong beside him.

“Lao Piao is planning an outdoor livestream in the afternoon. I was thinking, why not come over and check it out with me?”

“An outdoor livestream? I’m curious how long Lao Piao can manage to walk.” Si Cong chuckled in response to Zhou Chao’s comment.

“Then how about we go check out your car? I’m really curious about the cars in your garage. Just the Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta downstairs could probably buy all my cars.”

Si Cong was genuinely curious about what cars Zhou Chao had. After all, who wouldn’t be fascinated by supercars like that?

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and thought it didn’t really matter. As long as he didn’t reveal his face during the livestream, it should be fine. He nodded and said, “Sure, why not? You can also come over to my place and take a look around.”

“Lao Piao, let’s hold off on the gaming for now. Since you’re planning an outdoor livestream, let’s go somewhere nice.” Si Cong walked over and patted Lao Piao on the shoulder.

“Alright, Xiao Ning, I will stop playing for now.” Lao Piao quickly told Ning by his side.

“Boss, can I come along too?” Ning also stood up, looking at Si Cong with hopeful eyes.

“Sure, you can go with Lao Piao.”

“Zhou Chao, let’s go..”
