“Can you please be quieter? You’ve startled everyone,” Zhou Chao looked at Guo Yan with annoyance.
“Oops,” Guo Yan playfully stuck out her tongue.
“I’m sorry, this is my younger sister. I hope you don’t mind.”
“No problem at all, it’s good to have sliveliness,” Teacher He said with a smile.
“Please, have a seat, don’t stand,” Zhou Chao turned to the others and said.
Jiang Li and her group also took their seats. Fan Er Sa and her group showed humility and let Zhou Chao and Teacher He sit in the main seats. The rest of them sat on the sides.
The waitstaff began to serve the dishes at this moment. Ten or so plates of flavored crayfish were presented in front of everyone, along with several of Xingcheng’s specialty snacks, such as Sister Dumplings, Sweet Wine, and Scalded Cold Noodles.
“Go ahead and try our Xingcheng’s specialty crayfish,” Teacher He enthusiastically suggested, thinking that Zhou Chao hadn’t tried it before today.

“In that case, you probably didn’t eat at this Wenhao Longxia. Try it and see how it tastes.”
Zhou Chao nodded and started eating, and the others followed suit, rolling up their sleeves to dig in.
After tasting a piece, it was indeed delicious. Compared to the afternoon meal, each had its own unique flavor, but they were quite similar.
“Young Master Zhou, would you like salcohol?”
“No need for alcohol. 1 have to take my sister to school tomorrow.” Zhou Chao knew about Teacher He’s drinking capacity, and while he wasn’t afraid, he didn’t want to spend too much tdrinking.
“In that case, how about srice wine? It’s similar to a soft drink, and it can help with the spiciness.” Teacher He held up a pink bottle and said. The bottle had three characters written on it: Peach Blossom Brew.
“Alright!” Zhou Chao had tasted it before and knew it was good. He signaled the waiter to bring in several bottles of Peach Blossom Brew.
“Young Master Zhou, I’ll toast you a bowl. You’ve gone through a lot for this matter,” Ruoyun said as she held up a bowl of rice wine.
“Please sit, no need for formalities. We’re all friends here, and there’s no need for such polite words in the future,” Zhou Chao said and then downed the entire bowl in one go.
Ruoyun quickly followed suit and finished her bowl of rice wine.
Although it was their first meeting, everyone got along very well. Especially Guo Yan, who seemed to have becsweeter, perhaps due to the rice wine. In no time, she becfriendly with Ruoyun, Yang Rong, and the others. Of course, Zhou Chao played a significant role in this, as his status as a big shot was evident.
They continued to eat until midnight before finally wrapping up.
“Young Master Zhou, would you liketo have my driver take you back? I’ll be riding with Teacher He later,” as they left Wenhao Longxia, Ruoyun quietly said to Zhou Chao.
After a moment of consideration, Zhou Chao nodded and said, “Sure, I appreciate it.”
“Teacher He, Sa Sa, we’ll be heading off. Let’s meet up for a drink next twhen you have the time,” during their tin the private room, Teacher He and Fan Er Sa willingly added Zhou Chao as a friend. As for Yang Rong, she had connected with Jiang Li and Guo Yan.
“Sure, we’ll be waiting for your call. Are you planning to stay in Xingcheng for a few days?”
“About two or three days, it’s hard to say for sure. Is there something you want to discuss?”
“I just wanted to ask if you’re interested in participating in a program on our TV station.”
“Participate in a program? Forget it, I’m not very fond of such occasions.”

Seeing Young Master Zhou decline, Teacher He didn’t press further, considering it a casual inquiry.
“Ah Li, Guo Yan, let’s go,” Zhou Chao called out to the three women who were chatting happily not far away.
“Coming!” Jiang Li responded, and with Yang Rong and Guo Yan, they approached Young Master Zhou.
Then, they all got into Ruoyun’s car and left.
Once the car had gone a distance, Teacher He looked at Fan Ersa beside him and asked, “You didn’t say much tonight, is there something on your mind?” “I feel like I’ve seen Young Master Zhou’s wife somewhere before,” Fan Ersa said, looking at the disappearing car in the distance.
“You’ve seen her before? Where did you see her?” Teacher He asked, intrigued.
“In a photo at the residence of a certain big shot in Jingdu.”
“A big shot? How prominent?”
Fan Ersa didn’t reply immediately, instead, he quietly lifted his head to look at the sky. Teacher He, beside him, also fell into stunned silence, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes..
