The plane landed at Jingdu Airport while Zhou Chao was in a drowsy state.

Outside the airport, it was still dark.

As they sat in the airport shuttle, Zhou Chao turned to the group of people behind him and said, “Lin Wu, you take Todd and find a place to settle down. There’s nothing urgent right now, so you can enjoy Jingdu for a few days. Lin Wu, you can give Todd smoney later.”

Finally, Zhou Chao added, “Keep the receipts!”

Boss, don’t you wantto accompany you back?”

“No need, everyone can go to the hotel and adjust to the tdifference. Here’s the card for you!” Zhou Chao handed his Hilton exclusive card to Lin Wu.

After Lin Wu had finished processing the card, he got into a taxi that had been waiting for them and drove away.

Watching Zhou Chao and Lin Wu leave, Todd turned to the others and said, “Let’s go, let’s go to the hotel and settle down first. We’ll explore Jingdu together later!”

With that, he hailed three taxis and left the airport.

By the tZhou Chao returned to the courtyard on the canal bank, the sky was already turning orange. He enjoyed a meal of fried liver and sesoil, something he hadn’t had in a long time.

As soon as he entered the yard, he heard a shout from inside the house, “Who is it?”

“Aunt Wang, it’s me!” It was still early in the morning, and Aunt Wang couldn’t see clearly who the person was, but she recognized her boss Zhou Chao by his voice.

Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Yi opened the door and walked out.

“Boss, why are you back at this hour? Are you hungry? Letmake something for you!” Aunt Wang said joyfully.

ii

No need, Aunt Wang, 1 just had a meal!” Zhou Chao replied as he walked towards the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a large orange object pouncing towards him.

Zhou Chao quickly reached out and caught it.

“Shoufu, why have you gained so much weight again? You must have gained at least 30 pounds!” Zhou Chao said as he playfully pinched Shoufu’s chubby body, causing it to meow loudly in his arms.

“Aunt Wang, why are you up so early? Is there something going on?” Zhou Chao suddenly remembered Aunt Wang, who was still standing beside him.

Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment before saying, “Boss, I plan to visit my family for a while. My daughter-in-law just gave birth, and I want to go see the baby!”

“Congratulations! Is it a boy or a girl?”

Hearing Zhou Chao’s question, Aunt Wang’s face lit up with a smile.

“It’s a baby boy, and he weighs a whopping 8 pounds!” Aunt Wang said, gesturing with her hands to emphasize the weight.

Zhou Chao nodded with a smile and said after a moment, “Wait a moment!”

He then walked upstairs to his bedroom, found a bag, and put a pound of yellow lip fish maw and two pounds of saffron from the warehouse into the bag. He carried the bag downstairs and handed it to Wang Yi, who looked puzzled.

“Aunt Wang, I’m giving you a one-month paid vacation. Go back and take good care of your grandson. This is a gift fromto your daughter-in-law, and it can help with her health!”

Boss, I can’t accept this. You’ve already granteda one-month paid leave. I can’t take anything more from you!” Aunt Wang quickly waved her hand.

“It’s alright; you should accept it. I have plenty of these things, and your daughter-in-law is currently in need of shealth supplements. It will cin handy!”

Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly accepted the gift.

“Thank you, Boss!” She said while bowing to Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao was startled and quickly stopped Aunt Wang. He didn’t want her to shorten her life expectancy.

“Alright, go back now!”

“Yes, Boss!” Aunt Wang rubbed her eyes and turned to leave.

As Aunt Wang had just taken a few steps, something crossed her mind, and she quickly turned back to say, “Boss, your friend cby earlier and took all of your alcohol. He even ctwice!”

Hearing that his alcohol had been taken, Zhou Chao’s facial muscles twitched in anger.

“1 see.” Zhou Chao nodded.

After Aunt Wang left, Zhou Chao put down the Shoufu in his arms and walked quickly towards the wine cellar.

After a while in the wine cellar, Zhou Chao’s furious roar could be heard, “Xiao Yang, you bastard, you’ve taken all of my alcohol, not leavinga single bottle, and you left these wooden crates behind! Damn it!”

After a brief stay in the wine cellar, Zhou Chao emerged with a lingering look of frustration on his face. Just when he was about to leave the wine cellar entrance, he had a change of heart and returned inside.

Looking at the boxes on the wine cabinet, Zhou Chao took slong-lasting dry goods from the storage and placed them in the boxes. This way, the next tsomeone came, he could openly take them out.

By the the finished, each box was filled with items. Zhou Chao clapped his hands, satisfied with his work.

Besides the wine, Zhou Chao felt a bit tired, mainly due to not adjusting to the tdifference. He yawned and went upstairs, with Shoufu following behind, waddling with its plump figure.

“What’s so heavy!” Drowsy, Zhou Chao felt a sense of oppression in his chest as he opened his eyes, and a huge furry head appeared in front of him. Two big eyes stared at him.

“Shoufu, don’t you know you’ve gotten really fat now?!” Zhou Chao picked up the Shoufu from his chest and placed it aside before sitting up on the bed. He rubbed its large head and said angrily.

“Meow,” Shoufu meowed as if enjoying the attention.

Being disturbed by Shoufu, Zhou Chao becmore awake. He checked the tand found that it was already past 9 in the morning, and he had slept for two to three hours.

After a quick wash and changing into comfortable hclothes, he went to the study.

He took out the Victorian Parliament Scepter, King John’s crown, and two masterpieces from the system’s warehouse. Not finding a suitable container, he decided to call Yu Qian.

ii

Hey, buddy, you’re back in Jingdu? Morning!” Yu Qian’s cheerful laughter cfrom the other end of the phone when it was answered.

“I just got back today, Master Yu Qian. I need your help with something,” Zhou Chao got straight to the point.

Oh, what is it? Go ahead, tell me!”

“I need a few containers for storing antiques. I don’t know if you can find them for me.”

“That’s no problem at all. Sendthe styles you need, and I’ll arrange for someone to deliver them to your house.”

“Alright, I’ll send them to you in a moment!” After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao opened his computer and found a few pictures online to send to Yu Qian.

Looking at the treasures on his desk, Zhou Chao carefully stored each of them back in the system’s warehouse.

Lying on the sofa, holding Shoufu in his arms, he used his left hand to hold his phone and started watching short videos.

After a while, the doorbell rang, and Zhou Chao finally snapped out of the video world.

He put down his phone and carried Shoufu as he walked towards the door.

“Hey, it’s you. Why did Master Yu Qian make you run errands?” The person standing in front of the door was none other than the most popular guy in Deshe.

“Hehe, it’s because I had a bit too much to drink at Master Yu Qian’s place last night and ended up staying overnight. They pulledover to help early in the morning!”

Con in!”

“Thanks!” Xiao Yueye walked in carrying something.

“Givethe stuff!”

ii

No worries, it’s not heavy. I’ll just carry it inside.”

Zhou Chao didn’t insist, and he led Xiao Yueyue to the inner room.

“Aren’t you busy lately?” Zhou Chao made a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Yueyue.

“I just finished shooting a movie, and it’s about to be released soon. I’m taking a break now.”

“That’s good; nowadays, it’s good to have a diversified career. Well done!”

Hearing the affirmation from Zhou Chao, Xiao Yueyue felt a bit embarrassed.

He scratched his head to ease the tension.

“I don’t know if it’ll be well-received, but I’m feeling pretty good about it!”

Oh, what’s it called, and when is it releasing? If 1 have time, 1 might go and support you!”

“It’s releasing on August 2nd next month, and the title is ‘Hero with Mouse

Guts.’ I’m the main character!”

“August 2nd!” Zhou Chao did squick calculations and realized he had about half a month, which was plenty of time.

“I should be free, so make sure to inviteto the premiere!”

“Absolutely, it would be our honor if you could come!” Xiao Yuexue’s face lit up with a smile upon hearing that Zhou Chao would attend.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Yuexue took his leave, saying that he wanted to visit Deshe’s theater and see his fellow colleagues.

“Wait a moment; letget something for you to take back. It wouldn’t be right for you to run errands like this!” Zhou Chao said and got up, heading towards the wine cellar.

Xiao Yuexue didn’t refuse either. After all, he had heard about the valuable gifts that Zhou Chao gave. The gifts he presented were not only high in value, but also declining them would seem like he was rejecting Zhou Chao’s generosity and goodwill.

Soon, Zhou Chao returned with two plastic bags.

“I couldn’t find gift bags, so I had to make do with plastic bags. I hope you don’t mind!”

ii

No problem at all, Young Master Zhou. Your gift is already an honor for me; why would I mind?” Xiao Yuexue quickly stood up, waving his hand.

“Alright, I won’t keep you any longer!”

“Okay!” Xiao Yuexue carried the two plastic bags and walked out. They felt quite heavy in his hands.

After leaving Zhou Chao’s house, he got into his car and finally had a chance to inspect the contents of the bags. He quickly opened them.

One of the bags contained about ten palm-sized dried abalones, which were the largest he had ever seen. He then looked at the other bag, which contained twenty small canned items. He picked up one of them and examined it carefully, looking at the English words on it. Xiao Yuexue was left speechless and put it back into the bag.

H

I’ll show these to my colleagues at the theater later!” He said and started his car towards the small theater.

“Hey, Xiao Yuexue, why are you here?” As soon as he walked into the theater, he ran into Luan, the deputy general manager.

“Brother Luan, you’re here too? Master Yu Qian askedto run an errand for him after 1 had a bit too much to drink at his place last night, so I ended up here early in the morning.”

“Con, let’s go backstage.” They headed towards the backstage.

At this moment, the members of Deshe’s 7th team were chatting, playing games on their phones, and having their own conversations.

When they saw Luan and Xiao Yuexue entering, they all stood up and greeted, “Hello, Senior Brother!”

“Xiao Yu, what’s in those bags? Show us quickly!”

Xiao Yuexue placed the bags on the table and took out a large dried abalone and a shiny can. “I don’t understand English; Senior Brother, can you see what these are?”

“Wow, this abalone is huge! I’ve never seen one with such intricate patterns before.”

“And this can, it looks like gold!”

ii

Hey, Senior Brother, where did you buy this Beluga caviar? This stuff is not cheap. And this webbed abalone, even if you have money, you might not find a place to buy it!” At this moment, a young voice cfrom behind them.

“Kai Xuan, you’re here too. How much does this Beluga caviar cost?” Luan asked while holding the can.

“It’s not too expensive, just 25,000 dollars!”

“What!” Everyone’s faces displayed astonishment.

Seeing nearly 20 cans in the bags, it added up to 500,000 dollars, which was over 3 million Chinese yuan. Then, looking at the dried abalones, the room fell into silence..
