The next morning at ten o’clock, Zhou Chao leisurely descended from upstairs. In truth, he had already been awake for a while, but yesterday’s exhaustion kept him lying in bed, unwilling to get up until hunger finally forced him out.

Lin Wu, who had been waiting downstairs for some time, hurriedly approached, somewhat reluctantly saying, “Boss, why don’t you let me accompany you back to the country? There’s nothing for me to do here.”

Hearing Lin Wu’s words, Zhou Chao gave him a stern look, “Who said there’s nothing for you to do here? Remember, when you’re here, you represent me.

You just need to listen in; I’m not asking you to negotiate. As my most trusted confidant, I can only entrust such an important matter to you.”

Lin Wu, who had been feeling a bit down, brightened up at Zhou Chao’s words. “Don’t worry, Boss, there won’t be any problems!”

“Alright, is there anything to eat? I need to fill my stomach,” Zhou Chao said, rubbing his hungry belly.

“Boss, just wait a moment, I’ll go make something for you right away,” Lin Wu said, turning to head towards the kitchen.

Zhou Chao stopped Lin Wu. “Lin Wu, where did Wang Lao and the others go?”

“Wang Lao and the others went fishing by the lake. Chen Nan took two bodyguards with him,” Lin Wu replied.

“I see!” Zhou Chao nodded slightly, then went straight to the sofa.

Lin Wu worked quickly, and in less than ten minutes, he had cooked a T-bone steak.

Zhou Chao, who had been famished, quickly sliced the steak and devoured it in no time.

Seeing Zhou Chao finish in less than two minutes, Lin Wu quickly said, “Boss, let me make you another one.”

“No need, this will do. I won’t bother saying goodbye to Wang Lao; you can tell him for me when they come back. Also, if there’s anything you can’t solve or don’t know how to handle, give me a call,” Zhou Chao said, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

Lin Wu nodded. “Don’t worry, Boss.”

“Alright!”

Zhou Chao got up and walked outside. Lev had already been waiting with his men outside the house.

“Let’s go,” Zhou Chao patted Lin Wu’s shoulder and strode towards the car. Soon, several Hummers drove out of the ranch gate and quickly disappeared from Lin Wu’s sight.

When Zhou Chao and his entourage arrived at the airport, it was already noon.

At the airport lobby entrance, Lev said nervously, “Boss, are you sure you don’t want us to accompany you back to the country?”

“No need. I still have a few bodyguards with me. You’ve worked hard during this time; I’ll make sure Ben gives you bonuses when we return.”

Although Lev was eager to curry favor with Zhou Chao, being too hasty wouldn’t help; it might even backfire. He nodded despondently, “Got it, Boss.”

Zhou Chao nodded in understanding. He knew what Lev was thinking. Who wouldn’t want to climb higher? It’s human nature to strive for greater heights. After all, when presented with such an opportunity, who would easily let it slip away?

Just as Zhou Chao took a few steps into the airport, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said to Lev, who was still standing there, “If you don’t have anything urgent, you can go back to the ranch and assist Lin Wu.” Then he turned and walked into the airport.

Hearing this, Lev, who had initially felt despondent, brightened up and said with a smile, “Thank you, Boss. I’ll definitely assist Wu Ge properly.”

Zhou Chao waved his hand without turning back, giving Lev a glimmer of hope. Let’s see if this hope could grow into something substantial!

A roar sounded as Zhou Chao’s plane flew over Irkutsk and headed towards Kyoto. He planned to return to Kyoto first to check on Jiang Li before heading back to Fog City. There were still about four or five days left before Third Uncle’s birthday banquet, so he had plenty of time.

After more than an hour of flight, the plane landed at Kyoto Airport.

As soon as Zhou Chao stepped out of the airport, he dismissed the several bodyguards behind him. He then got into a dedicated car and left.

The car was arranged by the Hilton Hotel in Jingdu, a suggestion made before dawn. Since Zhou Chao often traveled all over the country, it was impractical to buy a car in every place he visited. So, he came up with the idea of having Hilton Hotels across the country arrange dedicated cars for him, which saved a lot of hassle.

In the car, Zhou Chao quickly returned to the courtyard by the canal. As soon as he entered, he heard the nanny, Aunt Kuang, speaking.

“Miss Jiang can have dinner now!”

“Coming, Aunt Kuang! What delicious food did you make today?” Jiang Li’s cheerful mood could be heard in her words.

“Steamed sardines, stir-fried beef, pig liver soup, and fruits for dessert!”

“Mmm, it smells great!”

Listening to their conversation, Zhou Chao’s lips curved into a smile. He quickly walked towards the inner room.

“What delicious food did you make? Is there any for me?”

Jiang Li, who was about to have her meal, heard the voice from outside and quickly put down her chopsticks, jumped up, and ran outside.

“Brother Chao, you’re back!” Jiang Li exclaimed with joy and rushed towards him.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chao’s expression changed instantly. He quickly hugged Jiang Li’s waist. “Oh, be careful.. What if you fall?”
