“Next day, in the morning, at The Palms Residence, sunlight streamed through the window onto a handsface.

“Hmm, my head is still spinning. Last night, Qin Fen and the others really treatedlike I’m not a person!” Zhou Chao pinched his brow, feeling a headache as he recalled the drinking contest with the three of them last night.

Although he had made all three of them pass out from drinking, he also felt dizzy himself. It was a specially brewed fruit wine, with a strong aftereffect. Even someone with Zhou Chao’s physical condition felt uncomfortable.

After taking a shower, Zhou Chao walked downstairs and saw Lin Wu, who was scooping litter for Shoufu.

“Lin Wu, when did you arrive?”

Hearing Zhou Chao’s voice, Lin Wu quickly stood up and said, “I’ve been here for a while. 1 saw you hadn’t gotten up yet, so 1 made sporridge for you, boss. You can have some.”

“Okay!” Zhou Chao nodded and walked into the kitchen. In no time, he cout with a bowl of porridge.

“By the way, Lin Wu, where did Todd and the others go?” Zhou Chao suddenly remembered that he hadn’t seen Todd in a long time.

“Boss, they went to climb the Great Wall yesterday. They even sentsphotos to show off.”

“They are still in Jingdu, right?”

“Yes, they are.”

“Give them a call and tell them to fly to Modu today. We have something to do.”

Lin Wu was taken aback for a moment. Something to do? Did the boss plan to go out again?

“Understood, boss. I’ll call them later. And what about me?”

“You? You stay at hand take care of Shoufu for me. 1 don’t know how long this will take. Make sure the Shoufu is well taken care of.”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s decision, Lin Wu realized that this was a definite matter, and he couldn’t argue. After finishing the Shoufu’s litter box duties, Lin Wu took his phone and headed to the balcony.

After finishing the arrangements for the Shoufu, Lin Wu took the phone and walked towards the balcony.

“Boss, I have made the arrangements. Todd and the others will pack up and take a plane to cover.”

“Okay, 1 got it. You can go ahead. Letknow when they arrive.” Zhou Chao quickly finished his porridge and headed upstairs to take a nap and recover.

At three in the afternoon, Todd and his team, led by Lin Wu, arrived at The Palms Residence.

Seeing Zhou Chao sitting on the sofa reading a book, Todd quickly walked up and said, “Boss.”

“Hmm, did you have a good tthese past few days?” Zhou Chao looked at the book in his hand without lifting his head.

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Todd’s heart skipped a beat. He realized that the boss might not be happy with their actions before they arrived.

“Boss, 1 promise we won’t make such a mistake again in the future!”

“I’m not blaming you. I just don’t want such things to happen among my subordinates. Alright, rest for a while. We might have to leave tonight.” “Yes, boss!” Todd signaled his subordinates to take a brief rest in the rooms on the first floor.

“Lin Wu, has Dole cback?”

“Dole has already returned and is currently refueling and checking the plane. It should be ready to take off again around 6 o’clock in the evening.”

“Alright, I got it.” Zhou Chao closed the book in his hand, stood up, and headed upstairs.

After packing up and selecting a few sets of clean clothes, Zhou Chao opened the system and checked his inventory.

Looking at the items in the first two slots, Zhou Chao let out a sigh, “I wonder when I’ll be able to bring out the 311m lithography machine and mm chips. I also don’t know how Lan Ling’s progress is going. Lao Zhou mentioned there might be a surprise. After finishing this matter, I’ll go to Peng City and find out.”

“System, sign in!”

“Sign-in successful! Global Automotive Company Shareholder Package! Do you want to open it?”

“Global?!” Zhou Chao stood up in excitement. He would have shares in all the global automotive companies.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm his excited heart, Zhou Chao opened the grand gift package.

“Congratulations, host, on acquiring ten percent of the shares in major global automotive companies!” The gift package burst open in his inventory like fireworks, and Zhou Chao soon found numerous share agreements inside.

Zhou Chao took out each agreement one by one, and each of them had labels with names on them.

“Toyota, Volkswagen, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Ford…” Even brands under these conglomerates or joint ventures had shares. The value far exceeded Zhou Chao’s imagination.

After examining each one for a while, he reluctantly placed them back into the system’s inventory.

Just as Zhou Chao was daydreaming about contacting these car companies to send him limited edition sports cars or SUVs after he had finished his business, the phone on the table rang.

“Why is Miles calling at this hour? It’s not morning where he is right now.” After a brief thought, Zhou Chao answered the call.

“Good morning, boss!” Miles greeted as soon as the call connected.

“It’s not morning here; it’s already afternoon. Why are you callingso early? Is there something wrong?”

“Well, there are two things. First, it seems like your football club may not have a chance anymore.”

“What happened? Did something go wrong in Eagle City?” Zhou Chao was puzzled. Even if Manchester United refused to sell, there were other football clubs, right?

“Yes, boss, the major clubs in Eagle City have received a message saying they refuse to sell to us, and it’s specifically mentioned that they cannot sell to you.”

As soon as Zhou Chao heard this, he realized what was going on. Most likely, it was Edward’s doing, trying to sabotage his plans.

“Is the other matter related toas well?”

“Ahem, it is related to you, boss. You have been put on the blacklist in Eagle Country. If you go to Eagle Country in the future, you will be denied entry and deported.” Miles couldn’t help but marvel at how influential his boss was, being directly blacklisted like this. He wondered who held such a grudge against him.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but chuckle. “I didn’t expect Edward to be so petty. If I had known, 1 should have negotiated with him more… ahem, discussed it further!”

Hearing his boss’s muttered words, Miles felt as if a bunch of crows had flown over his head.

“Alright, I got it. You can go back to the Eagle Alliance, Miles. If 1 can’t buy a football club, I’ll buy a basketball team instead.” Zhou Chao preferred basketball over football. After all, his childhood memories were dominated by a tall guy named Yao Ming.

“I understand, boss!” After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao contemplated whether he should retaliate in a small way. However, he decided to let it go for now and consider it when the opportunity arose in the future.

Two hours passed quickly, and at this moment, Zhou Chao was sitting on the sofa, giving sinstructions to Lin Wu.

“These are the things to take care of. If there’s anything important, callanytime. If my phone is unreachable, call Ling Chen. Also, occasionally take the Shoufu out for a walk in the neighborhood. It’s not good for him to stay at hfeeling bored all the time.”

“I understand, boss.”

Zhou Chao nodded and stood up from the sofa, saying, “Let’s go!”

Todd quickly carried Zhou Chao’s luggage and headed outside, while the others had been waiting in the garage.

Three Audi cars were silently parked in the garage. These were temporary replacements from the company because Zhou Chao’s cars were all sports cars, which were not suitable for carrying passengers.

As Zhou Chao and his team stepped out of the elevator, he turned to look at Lin Wu, who was holding the Shoufu. He patted the big cat’s head and said with a smile, “Take good care of him. If anything happens, you’ll see how 1 deal with you.”

“You can rest assured.”

“Well, let’s head back!” After saying this, Zhou Chao turned and got into the car.

Lin Wu stood there, watching the three cars leave before he turned and entered the elevator.

Upon arrival at the airport, Zhou Chao and his team used the fast track to board their private plane. Without much delay, the plane took off from Shanghai Pudong Airport and headed for Lanai Island in Hawaii.

“Boss, would you like to have something to eat now?” The chief steward approached Zhou Chao cautiously.

Checking the time, it was almost 7 o’clock, so Zhou Chao nodded and said, “Prepare sfood, and also check with Todd and the others on what they’d like to eat. Make sextra, considering we’ll be flying for a few hours.” “Understood, boss!” The chief steward nodded and headed down to the lower level.

They didn’t make Zhou Chao wait long. After about half an hour, the chief steward pushed a cart filled with exquisite Chinese dishes into Zhou Chao’s room.

“Wow, why do they still prepare this on the plane? These colors don’t look like something you guys can create.”

“Boss, this was specially arranged by AAr. Ling. We ordered semi-finished products from an authentic Chinese restaurant. They only need to be heated up and are nearly 90% as good as the original.” The chief steward explained attentively.

When Zhou Chao heard that it was arranged by Ling Chen, he was satisfied and nodded. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating. The chief steward tactfully exited the room, waiting outside until Zhou Chao had finished.

After savoring each dish, Zhou Chao quickly finished the meal, leaving nothing on the table.

Seeing that Zhou Chao had finished, the chief steward quickly tidied up the table and left the room.

After a hearty meal, Zhou Chao lay on the bed and played with his phone.

After a long 11-hour flight, the plane finally landed safely at Lanai Island’s airport.

Ling Chen, who had been waiting at the runway, saw Zhou Chao, who looked a bit tired, getting off the plane and quickly greeted him.

Seeing the sun directly overhead, Zhou Chao momentarily felt disoriented.

“Boss!” Ling Chen’s voice snapped Zhou Chao back to reality.

“Yeah,” Zhou Chao nodded lightly.

“Your mountaintop private villa has been prepared. You can check in directly. Do you want to go to the villa or the seaside hotel?”

Without much thought, Zhou Chao replied, “Let’s go to the mountaintop villa for speace and quiet.”

Then, the group got into the car arranged by Ling Chen and headed to Zhou Chao’s massive mountaintop villa..
