Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It had been two days since Yu Qian and the others had last visited Lao Guo’s ho. During these two days, Zhou Chao had mostly stayed indoors, feeling as if his body was becoming stagnant.
One noteworthy ntion was that the painting of the tiger descending from the mountain, which had been removed earlier, was now expertly frad by Old Master Ma and hand-delivered.
“Lin Wu, Wang Feng, Da Wu, Xiao Wu, today let’s go out and explore so of the famous sights in Jingdu.” After spending a few days ho, Zhou Chao felt the need to step outside and clear his mind.
“Boss, you might want to consider buying another car. After all, we only have one car now, and every ti we go out, we’re all cramped together. It kind of feels like it’s affecting your image.” Lin Wu’s suggestion made Zhou Chao ponder whether there was so truth to it.
“Alright, let’s get a new car first, then we’ll visit the Forbidden City and the Old Sumr Palace. Change into casual attire, got it?”
“Yes, boss.”
“Let’s go.” The group hustled into the bedroom.
After a short while, Lin Wu and the others erged, now donning casual clothes. Zhou Chao led them out of the house.
“Directly head to the Rolls-Royce 4S dealership.” Lin Wu quickly located the address of the 4S dealership and set the navigation.
In less than an hour, they arrived at the Rolls-Royce 4S dealership in Chaoyang.
Zhou Chao and Lin Wu entered the showroom, where they were greeted by an attractively dressed woman.
“Hello, handso.” Zhou Chao stole a glance at the woman next to him but quickly averted his gaze.
“Do you have the Phantom in stock?”
“Yes, handso. Please co this way, and I’ll introduce it to you.”
“No need for introductions. I’m familiar with it. What colors do you have?” This ti, Zhou Chao interrupted the saleswoman’s introduction and directly inquired.
“We have black and blue in stock.”
“Let’s go with blue. I won’t negotiate the price with you. I’m not a native of Jingdu; I just moved here recently and don’t have local social security benefits. 1’11 pay in full. Can you handle that? If you can, we’ll sign the contract; if not, I’ll leave.” Zhou Chao was straightforward, not willing to waste ti.
“Sir, please rest in the lounge for a mont. I’ll go consult the manager.”
“Sure, but hurry up. I don’t want to sit here waiting for your consultation.” Within two minutes, the saleswoman returned with a middle-aged man in a suit.
The sales manager was surprised as he entered the room. He had never encountered such a strikingly handso man before. His attention was also drawn to the tall and poised figure of Lin Wu beside Zhou Chao. In that mont, he had a clear sense of the situation.
“Hello, sir. May I ask for your surna?” The sales manager, wearing a smile, seated himself next to Zhou Chao.
“Zhou.”
“Mr. Zhou, Li i has already briefed on your situation. There’s absolutely no problem. It might take about an hour, though.”
Zhou Chao checked his watch; it was not even 10 o’clock. He nodded in agreent.
“Mr. Zhou, here’s the contract. Take a look.” Zhou Chao glanced briefly at it. The total price was 9.63 million, including insurance and license plates.
Without hesitation, Zhou Chao signed the contract and handed his Huaxia Bank black card to the manager. The manager couldn’t help but be astonished when he saw Zhou Chao’s card.
Such a card could only be obtained with a deposit of at least one hundred million yuan in the bank. Moreover, one’s eligibility would be rigorously reviewed before such a card was issued.
“Please wait a mont.” The sales manager stood up and went to process the card paynt. Soon, he returned with the receipt.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou, for your trust in Rolls-Royce. Please rest for a mont, Mr. Zhou.” The sales manager said this and then left with the saleswoman. Soon after, the saleswoman returned with a large plate of fruits. “Mr. Zhou, please have so fruit while we finalize everything. I’ll notify you imdiately once it’s done.”
“Sure.” Zhou Chao nodded and didn’t say anything more. The saleswoman also tactfully left the room.
“Have a seat and have so food. There’s no need to stand the whole ti. Also, let Wang Feng drive the car outside.” Upon hearing this, Lin Wu didn’t speak but took out his phone to send a ssage to Wang Feng, explaining the situation.
An hour quickly passed. The saleswoman returned with the car keys and docunts.
“Mr. Zhou, here are your car keys and docunts.” Lin Wu took them directly, and Zhou Chao stood up from the sofa and headed outside.
“Thank you.” Zhou Chao went to the car and turned to the saleswoman by his side before getting into the car and leaving the 4S dealership.
“Boss, where are we going now?”
Zhou Chao checked the ti; it was already 11 o’clock. A visit to the Forbidden City now wasn’t feasible.
“Let’s find a place to eat first. We can go sightseeing in the afternoon.” The northern winter was quite cold, but luckily, there was no snow today. Zhou Chao found a restaurant with convenient parking and had a simple al before driving away.
“Boss, where should we go first?”
Zhou Chao pondered for a mont. “Let’s go to the Old Sumr Palace.”
The group drove to the Old Sumr Palace in Haidian District. They bought five tickets and Zhou Chao led the way inside.
The Old Sumr Palace, built in 1707, covered an area of 3.5 square kiloters with a construction area of 200,000 square ters and boasted more than 150 scenic spots. However, what remained now were ruins.
Zhou Chao and the others spent about two hours exploring, mostly seeing broken walls and remnants. Where Zhou Chao stood now was once the fountain pool where the heads of the 12 zodiac animals were placed. However, there was no water left, just so shattered walls.
“System check-in.”
“Congratulations, host, for checking in the Rooster and Dog Zodiac Heads.” Indeed, this was Zhou Chao’s purpose in visiting the Old Sumr Palace. “Let’s go, it’s ti to head back!” Since their goal was achieved, it was ti to return. After spending more than two hours outside, they had accomplished multiple objectives.
Lin Wu and the others felt a bit puzzled. They thought they would be visiting more places today, but they only visited one and were now heading back. However, since the boss had given the order, they had no choice but to comply. “Boss, are we really going back like this?”
“Do you want to play outside for a bit longer?”
“I’m thinking on their behalf. They’ve been stuck at ho every day. At least I’ve been accompanying you for your tasks.” Zhou Chao understood Lin Wu’s aning.
“Well, when you go back, organize a schedule. Each day, one person can take a break while the others work. However, when there’s sothing important, everyone must be present. And rember, there’s still training to do; don’t beco complacent.”
“Yes, boss. Don’t worry, I’ll supervise them well.” Zhou Chao didn’t say anything more upon hearing this. Instead, he looked at the two zodiac heads in the warehouse. Fie would have to figure out a way to donate them.
Once back ho, Zhou Chao imdiately headed to his study. After locking the study door, he retrieved the zodiac heads from the system’s inventory. They were neatly packed in boxes.
Zhou Chao spent a good while examining the two zodiac heads before carefully placing them back into their boxes. However, he didn’t store them in the inventory this ti; instead, he put them inside a cabinet, as he had already co up with a plan.
Checking the ti, Zhou Chao took out his phone and made a call.
“Ring ring ring….”
