Chapter 309: Go to Rong City

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Mmm…” Zhou Chao lazily stretched and emerged from his blankets.

“Get a good night’s sleep without setting an alarm, count your cash until your hand gets tired – that’s the simplicity of life.”

Sitting up in bed, he checked the time and realized it was already past 10 in the morning. He glanced at the photos he sent to Jiang Li last night and noticed several angry emojis in her response. Zhou Chao chuckled and tossed his phone aside.

As he changed his clothes, the door was knocked.

Zhou Chao didn’t need to think twice to know it was Wang Feng. He opened the door and found Wang Feng holding several bags with a delicious aroma wafting from them. Zhou Chao’s stomach rumbled uncontrollably.

“Boss, I went and bought some Chang’an specialty foods—Hulu Head and Jing Gao. 1 don’t know if you like them!”

“I’m not picky; if it’s delicious, I’ll eat more; if it’s not, I’ll eat less!” Zhou Chao accepted the bags from Wang Feng and, upon opening them, was enticed by the aroma.

Without much ado, he sat down at the table and started eating. He soon realized that Hulu Head had various ingredients like large intestines, pork belly, chicken, and sea cucumber. The soup was savory and not greasy, and in no time, he had finished it. (f)reenovelkiss

“It’s really good. The local cuisine in Chang’an is worth trying!” Zhou Chao patted his belly with a satisfied look.

“Boss, try this Jing Gao!” Wang Feng handed him a box filled with assorted small cakes. Zhou Chao enjoyed one after another, and the box containing about ten Jing Gao was soon emptied.

“Just right, I’m about seven or eight-tenths full.”

“Boss, do we have any plans for today? Do you want to go out?”

Zhou Chao contemplated for a moment before replying, “Let’s not go out today. If Zhou Jilong or Lan Lao doesn’t call us this afternoon, we’ll head to Rong City later. We have something to take care of there.”

“Alright, Boss. I’ll go back to my room then. If you need anything, remember to call me!”

“Sure, you can go!” Wang Feng left, and Zhou Chao lay down on the sofa, rhythmically tapping his stomach with his right hand.

He mumbled to himself, “Lao Lan, don’t make me come all the way for nothing!”

Time flew by, and it was soon 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Zhou Chao, lying on the bed and feeling bored, decided to go out for a walk. He called Wang Feng back.

“Boss, are we leaving?”

“No, I’m going out for a bit. I’m bored in the hotel!”

“Wait for me for a minute!” After hanging up, Zhou Chao got up from the bed.

When he opened the door, he saw Wang Feng standing there.

“Let’s go!”

“Boss, where are we going? Do you want to visit Jixiang Village? I’ve seen a lot of people online saying it’s fun, but they didn’t specify what’s so great about it!” “Where did you say we’re going? Jixiang Village?” Zhou Chao looked at Wang Feng with a mischievous grin, leaving Wang Feng momentarily perplexed.

“Boss, what’s wrong with Jixiang Village? Is there a problem?”

“No, no problem. How about this, you go to Jixiang Village, and I’ll stroll around Huimin Street. Um, 1’11 be back at the hotel before 5 o’clock!”

Wang Feng was a bit confused and didn’t fully understand what was happening. As they left the hotel, Zhou Chao didn’t even take the car. He hailed a taxi and left Wang Feng standing there, looking lost.

“I’ll go and see what Jixiang Village is all about. Even the boss knows its name!”

Wang Feng also flagged down a taxi. When the taxi driver heard that Wang Feng wanted to go to Jixiang Village and detected his non-local accent, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Huimin Street was a must-visit for tourists in Chang’an, but it was rarely frequented by locals. The street wasn’t very long, and Zhou Chao decided to try some food at a restaurant he found appealing.

The meat buns at Huimin Street were different from others because the Hui people didn’t eat pork, so the buns mainly consisted of beef and lamb. It indeed added a unique flavor to the meat buns.

After exploring the entire Huimin Street, Zhou Chao wasn’t left with many memorable impressions. Most of the food was decent but not exceptionally delicious. However, he managed to satisfy his hunger after walking around.

Having completed the tour and losing interest in continuing, he hailed a taxi back to the hotel. Upon returning, Zhou Chao went to knock on Wang Feng’s door, but since he hadn’t returned, he headed back to his own room.

Around 4:30 PM, Zhou Chao was lounging on the sofa, watching short videos on his phone, when there was a knock at his door.

Opening the door, he found Wang Feng with a flushed face, seemingly still savoring some lingering memories.

“Hey, you’re back! How was your experience in Jixiang Village?” Zhou Chao teased as he looked at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng, with his naturally rosy complexion, blushed even more, and he appeared a bit awlward as he stood there, rubbing his hands.

“Boss, you know the situation in Jixiang Village? How could you ask me to check it out? Once I entered, 1 was almost dragged into a room. If 1 weren’t physically strong, I might not have made it back!”

“Hahaha, impressive, impressive!” Zhou Chao circled around Wang Feng as he spoke.

“Just this once, okay? Next time, you’re not allowed to go to such places. If you have the opportunity, find yourself a girlfriend. You’re not young anymore, and with your current status, finding a beautiful one should be a piece of cake!” “Boss, understood!” Wang Feng scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Zhou Chao didn’t tease him any further and turned back to his phone on the sofa, continuing to play with it.

Wang Feng hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Boss, if they don’t call before 5 o’clock, are we really going to Rong City?”

“Yes, we’re really going to Rong City. As for the recruitment matters afterward, we’ll leave it to Zhou Jilong to handle. I won’t be involved.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng fell silent and found a chair to sit down.

Half an hour quickly passed by, and when Zhou Chao saw the time on his phone, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

“It’s about time, let’s go.”

“Boss, shouldn’t we wait a little longer?”

“No need. Two days should be enough. We can’t just keep waiting here and do nothing.”

Wang Feng muttered quietly, “Boss, you haven’t been doing much either.”

“What are you muttering about?”

“Nothing, nothing!” Wang Feng’s head bobbed like a drum.

Gathering his belongings, Zhou Chao headed downstairs. Standing at the hotel entrance, he let out a soft sigh and then boarded the Phantom and drove away.

“Boss, do you want to buy some snacks in case we get hungry on the way?”

“No need, it won’t take much longer.”

“Well… Boss, it’s about a 9-hour drive from here to Rong City.”

When Zhou Chao heard it would take 9 hours, he was momentarily stunned but quickly realized his mistake. He then said, “We can grab something to eat at a service area on the way.”

He pulled out his phone to check the information he had previously searched for and realized he had been looking at train schedules. This left Zhou Chao feeling a bit embarrassed, and he mentally scolded himself for the oversight..
