Chapter 716: So What If I Bring You To Earn Extra Money!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu were on a plane from Peng City to Modu.

Originally, after Zhou Chao had arranged everything, he planned to change places for a few days of leisure. After all, preparation work still required some time. Just then, Si Cong called to say that a friend of his was getting married and wanted to borrow a few luxury cars as wedding cars.

Without hesitation, Zhou Chao agreed. Since he had nothing else to do at the moment, he decided to make a trip back to Modu and attend the wedding to share in the joy.

By the time Zhou Chao landed in Modu, it was already half past five in the evening. After leaving the airport, he got into a car and went straight back to Junzhou Huating, since most of his cars were parked there. freёweɓnovel.com

Upon returning to the villa, he saw his three maids trimming the branches in the garden.

Seeing Zhou Chao coming in, they quickly put down their tools and respectfully lined up.

“Boss!”

Zhou Chao nodded slightly and walked into the house.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a round orange object quickly running towards him and pouncing heavily on his leg, causing Zhou Chao to stagger slightly.

“You naughty little fat cat, you are getting braver. You even dare to attack your owner. Let me teach you a lesson!” Zhou Chao said as he lifted Shoufu from his leg.

Zhou Chao estimated Shoufu to weigh at least ten kilograms now. Holding it felt like holding a big piece of soft jelly. It was very comfortable.

It hadn’t been long since they last met, and Zhou Chao felt that Shoufu had gained quite a bit of weight. It seemed like they needed to control its diet and make it exercise more in the future.

At this moment, Liu Zhi, the head maid, walked in. “Boss, have you had dinner? If not, we’ll prepare it immediately!”

“Anything will do,” Zhou Chao replied casually. He wasn’t very concerned about having a good dinner tonight. Something simple would suffice.

Soon, the other two maids also entered the kitchen, and rhythmic sounds soon emanated from it.

In less than an hour, four dishes and a soup appeared in front of Zhou Chao.

He handed Shoufu to Liu Zhi to feed while he ate with Lin Wu.

Just as he took a few bites, Zhou Chao’s phone rang. Glancing at it, he saw that it was a call from his father-in-law, Jiang Youdao.

“Dad, what’s up? Why did you suddenly call me?”

“I heard that you’re planning to sell those precision equipment under your company?”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao knew that his father-in-law’s purpose for calling was likely related to those machine tools or lithography machines.

“Well, I have some ideas recently, and it’s just the right time to make some changes. After all, these things have been researched for so long, it’s time to show them to the world. They can’t just be kept in hand forever!”

After Zhou Chao finished speaking, Jiang Youdao didn’t immediately respond. Instead, he remained silent for about ten seconds before saying, “That’s understandable. After all, a lot of funds were spent on the early research. It’s only natural. But, Xiao Chao, you also know that the country needs large-scale ultra-precision machine tools and even lithography machines in many aspects, and there is a bit of a shortage of funds in this regard…”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao’s mouth twitched uncontrollably. His father-in-law was really not holding back, even though it was all within the family. Although it was all family property, it didn’t mean he should be so generous.

“Dad, you know that my business is quite large, and it takes a lot of money in various aspects. Moreover, the large initial investment has made my funds a bit tight now. Of course, if the country needs it, I can support it at any time!”

“Speaking as if we’re not giving money. Let’s stick to the proper procedures. We’ll send someone to participate in your exhibition. Just don’t go too hard on us!”

Upon hearing this, a mischievous smile crept onto Zhou Chao’s lips as he said, “Don’t worry, Dad. Since you called personally, how could I possibly go too hard? You can rest assured, absolutely not!”

Listening to the resolute voice on the phone, Jiang Youdao couldn’t shake off a sense of foreboding.

Shaking his head, he pushed aside these thoughts and chatted with Zhou Chao for a few more moments before hanging up!

As the phone call ended, Zhou Chao couldn’t resist chuckling, “You practically hand over money on a silver platter. If I don’t take advantage of you, who else will I fleece?”

Meanwhile, Lin Wu, who was eating nearby, lowered his head even further upon hearing this remark.

…

The next day, while Zhou Chao was still in bed, he heard a few exclamations coming from the garden below.

Peering out the window, he saw Lin Wu showing someone around the yard.

To get a better view, Zhou Chao crawled out of bed and, still in his pajamas, walked out onto the bedroom’s balcony, only to find Si Cong and a man he hadn’t seen before!

“Young Master Zhou!” Si Cong noticed Zhou Chao on the second-floor balcony and quickly stood up to greet him.

“Si Cong, why are you here so early?” Zhou Chao leaned against the railing lazily and waved his hand.

“It’s because my friend’s wedding ceremony is tomorrow, so I thought I’d get the wedding car sorted out early today to save some trouble!”

“Well, Lin Wu, take Si Cong and the others to the garage first. I’ll tidy up and come down in a bit!”

With that, Zhou Chao turned and went back into the bedroom.

“I didn’t expect Young Master Zhou to be quite different!” remarked the man accompanying Si Cong.

Si Cong smiled and gave his friend’s shoulder a reassuring pat. “Hey, Lao Wu, don’t compare Young Master Zhou to your typical rich kids. Alright. Let’s go!”
