Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Kaminski Hotel, a celebration of audacity.

Zhou Chao sat at the head table, with Lao Guo and Xiao Yue Yue by his side, and the others included Director Shao, Sun Yue, and Yuan Hong, among others, all seated at the stable.

Yuan Hong, Tian Yu, and the female lead Yaya all wore curious expressions as they surreptitiously observed Zhou Chao, who was engrossed in conversation with Lao Guo. They wondered when such a character had appeared in their circle, given the significant connection between him and Si Cong.

“Young Master Zhou, do you have tthis afternoon for a tea gathering?”

I’ll have to pass on tea. I have important matters to attend to back in Modu,” Zhou Chao politely declined Lao Guo’s invitation.

“In that case, we’ll have to arrange a tea gathering another time,” Lao Guo sighed slightly, realizing that opportunities to have tea with Zhou Chao were scarce.

“There will be plenty of chances.”

“Young Master Zhou, is the Modu United Cinemas under your ownership?” Xiao Yue Yue asked suddenly, and the entire table fell silent as all eyes turned to Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao smiled calmly and replied, “That’s correct. United Cinemas is a company under my umbrella.”

Hearing this, everyone at the table expressed disbelief. Those from Deshe were somewhat more composed, having had prior dealings with Zhou Chao, but for the others, the impact was profound. Being the owner of a cinema chain alone placed him in the category of industry giants, and his words could carry considerable weight, including over the people present.

After three rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes, the celebration banquet concluded quickly. Zhou Chao refrained from drinking alcohol, considering that he had to return to Modu in the afternoon, and no one dared to persuade him to drink.

It’s getting late; i’ll take my leave.”

“Sure, i’ll walk you out!” Lao Guo and Xiao Yue Yue, along with Director Shao and others, stood up. The rest of the table followed suit.

Zhou Chao had just taken a few steps when he stopped in his tracks, noticing Yuan Hong not far away. He paused for a moment and then walked towards him.

Seeing Zhou Chao approaching, Yuan Hong’s heart leaped, feeling as though his heart might jump out of his chest. If he could establish a connection with Zhou Chao, he could potentially rise to the top ranks or even beyond in the industry.

“Hello, Yuan Hong!” Zhou Chao extended his hand.

Yuan I long was momentarily stunned but was prompted by Tian Yu beside him. He quickly shook Zhou Chao’s hand with both hands.

“I know you’re good friends with Brother Hu, and I’m his loyal fan. Here’s my business card. Please pass it on to him and tell him that if he ever needs assistance, he can callanytor addon WeChat. It’s my phone number.”

Lin Wu, standing beside him, also took out an exquisitely crafted business card and handed it to Yuan Hong, displaying only a nand a phone number.

Yuan Hong carefully accepted the business card, placing it in his wallet, and said nervously, “You can trust me. I’ll deliver it to him as soon as possible.”

Zhou Chao nodded with a smile, then turned and walked away. Lao Guo and the others followed him outside, while Yuan Hong, Tian Yu, and the rest continued to watch Zhou Chao’s departure. Sometimes, the ability to send someone off depends on whether one has the qualifications to do so.

“Yuan Hong, you’re going to make it big!!” When Zhou Chao left the banquet hall, Tian Yu excitedly looked at Yuan Hong beside him.

“Con, it’s for Brother Hu. It’s not for me!” Although Yuan Hong said this, the smile on his face betrayed his inner excitement.

“Just with the business card you have, even someone at Si Cong’s level would show you srespect,” Sun Yue chimed in.

Hearing this, Tian Yu and the others were stunned, looking at Sun Yue in disbelief, but deep down, they felt that Sun Yue’s words might be true.

Meanwhile, after Lao Guo and the others saw Zhou Chao off at the hotel, he got into a Rolls-Royce Phantom and left the hotel.

“Lao Guo, did you happen to see where Young Master Zhou put his pass on the front seat’s windshield just now?” Director Shao asked somewhat hesitantly.

“I’m not blind; of course, 1 saw it,” Lao Guo replied, a bit annoyed, and gave Director Shao a disdainful look.

“Um…do you think Young Master Zhou…”

“I don’t know, I didn’t see it!” Lao Guo said and walked back into the hotel. Xiao Yue Yue followed suit.

Director Shao, who had regained his composure, lightly patted his own mouth and said, “I told you to keep quiet!”

Lin Wu drove the Phantom out of the hotel and headed straight for the courtyard by the canal.

“Lin Wu, after you get back hand pack up, head to the airport. Give Dole a call and let him prepare.”

Lin Wu glanced at Zhou Chao through the rearview mirror and said, “Sure, boss.”

After about half an hour, the two arrived home. Zhou Chao took a shower, changed his clothes, and cdownstairs. He decided he didn’t need to take anything specific with him.

“Boss, everything is arranged. We can fly to Modu anytyou’re ready.”

Got it, let’s go.”

Before Zhou Chao could step out of the living room door, he heard Shoufu running out of the cat’s nest and circling him several times.

Zhou Chao squatted down, picked up Shoufu, and looked at the cat’s silly head, saying, “Almost forgot you again. Con, today 1’11 take you on a plane.”

Lin Wu, standing nearby, ran towards the cat’s nest and cback with a space capsule backpack and a bit of catnip and cat food in his hands.

Seeing what Lin Wu was holding, Zhou Chao chuckled and said, “Not bad, Lin

Wu. I didn’t realize you’ve becso good at this.”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s praise, Lin Wu suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and tried to scratch his head to relieve the embarrassment, only to realize that both of his hands were full.

“Hehe, traveling with you, boss, and experiencing so much, I’m bound to improve.”

Zhou Chao nodded with a smile, didn’t say much, and just carried Shoufu to the garage.

During the ride, Zhou Chao played with Shoufu for a while, then placed him to the side. He took out his phone and called Si Cong. After all, he had promised Lao Guo and Xiao Yue Yue, and it was better to get things done sooner rather than later.

Soon, the phone call was answered, but the voice on the other end was somewhat unexpected for Zhou Chao—it was a woman.

“Hello, Young Master Cong is swimming right now; you may have to wait a moment.”

“Tell him I have something to discuss with him,” Zhou Chao said as soon as he realized that Si Cong was out with a beautiful girl again.

The girl hesitated for a moment upon hearing Zhou Chao’s request but quickly regained her composure and said, “Please wait a moment; I’ll go get him.”

Realizing the call might be from someone important, she hurriedly went towards the swimming pool, and Zhou Chao could distinctly hear the sound of the girl running.

“Young Master Cong, there’s a call for you, someone says it’s important,” the girl panted as she arrived at the poolside and looked at Si Cong, who was happily playing in the water.

“A call for me? Who’s calling?” Si Cong asked nonchalantly.

“1 saw the n‘Young Master Zhou’ in the caller ID.”

As soon as the girl finished speaking, she saw Si Cong quickly swimming over and climbing out of the pool.

“Givethe phone!”

The girl was bewildered by Si Cong’s reaction. It was just a phone call; why was he so worked up about it?

Seeing the girl still hesitating, Si Cong furrowed his brow. By this time, the girl had also snapped out of her confusion and hurriedly handed the phone to Si Cong, apologizing as she did so.

Si Cong took the phone and walked to a less crowded area.

“Young Master Zhou, what made you think of calling your brother? Is there something good happening?”

“Well, there is something good happening, but it depends on your performance!”

Upon hearing this, Si Cong’s eyes lit up, and his face broke into a big smile.

“Young Master Zhou, just tellwhat you need. I’m all ears.”

“I have a friend who made a movie, the one Xiao Yue Yue directed, ‘Mouse Courage.’ It’s quite funny. Can you arrange for Yida Cinemas to screen it more frequently?” Zhou Chao didn’t beat around the bush and explained the situation directly.

“That’s a minor matter. I’ll arrange it immediately.” Si Cong agreed without hesitation as soon as he heard what it was about.

“Great, I don’t have any other business right now, so I won’t disturb you and the girls having fun in the water.”

“Young Master Zhou, if there’s something good going on, make sure to bring your brothers along. It’s not easy to make money these years!”

Zhou Chao chuckled and said after sthought, “Let’s see how much we can make within a week.”

After saying that, Zhou Chao hung up without giving Si Cong a chance to ask questions. However, the fact that Si Cong acted immediately was an indication that Zhou Chao’s plans were grander than ever. Without delay, Si Cong called the executives in his company and instructed them to raise funds as quickly as possible.

Considered the recent actions of Zhou Chao and his current wealth, Si Cong decided to call his father.

The phone rang for five or six times before it was answered on the other end by a deep, distinctive voice. “What’s the matter?”

“Dad, here’s the situation!” Si Cong quickly recounted the whole story, holding his phone and waiting for his father’s response.

After aboutseconds of silence, the voice on the other end finally spoke, saying, “I will transfer 5 billion to your account. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Once Si Cong’s father hung up, Si Cong couldn’t contain his excitement and let out a loud cheer. At the stime, he heard the calls of several beautiful women behind him. The already joyful Si Cong quickly ran towards the group of beautiful women.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao had already taken off from Kyoto Airport in his private jet.

“Shoufu, take a look outside, are you scared?” Zhou Chao held Shoufu and let it look outside the airplane.

As the plane ascended higher and the ground becsmaller below, Shoufu, who had been quiet before, started squirming in Zhou Chao’s arms and meowing, as if it was afraid of something.

Seeing Shoufu’s reaction, Zhou Chao quickly hugged it to his chest, stroking its large head to calm it down.

The plane landed at Pudong Airport in the afternoon, around 4 o’clock. On his way home, Zhou Chao made a special stop to buy a bouquet of fresh flowers before returning to The Palms Residence.

Upon arriving at The Palms Residence, Zhou Chao noticed that Jiang Li was still staying there and hadn’t returned to the villa. He felt relieved.

“Shoufu, you be a good boy. I’ll give your mom a surprise tonight!” Zhou Chao placed Shoufu on the sofa and headed towards the kitchen, not forgetting to tie on an apron..
