    The night quietly descended, and Zhou Chaoy on the lounge chair on the second-floor balcony of the vi, gazing at the distant sky adorned with shimmering stars. For a moment, he became somewhat lost in the view.


    “System, check-in!” With tomorrow’s return to his home country in mind, he hoped to see if he could obtain something good through the check-in.


    “Check-in sessful. Congrattions to the host for receiving a mysterious grand prize!”


    Upon hearing the rewards from the check-in, Zhou Chao abruptly sat up from his recliner, his hands clenched into fists.


    “May all the gods and goddesses of the heavens bless me, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, please grant me a good reward, not some farm or ranch.”


    Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and whispered, “Open the mysterious grand prize!”


    “Boom!” The entire grand prize seemed to explode, startling Zhou Chao.


    “Congrattions to the host for obtaining 45% of GS Corporation’s shares, 35% of Lei Du Group’s shares, and the Radiant Hanfu Studio!”


    “What on earth? What are GS and Lei Du? I’ve never heard of thesepanies. And what’s the deal with this Hanfu Studio? What’s going on with this check-in!”


    Just as he was still bewildered, a phone call came in.


    He took out his phone and saw that it was an encrypted call. Without thinking too much, he answered it.


    “Mr. Zhou, hello, I’m Ban Sharp, the Chairman of GS Corporation.”


    “Hello, Ban!”


    “I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any thoughts or suggestions for ourpany’s future development under your leadership?”


    Ban’s words left Zhou Chao baffled, and he couldn’t help but think, “I don’t even know what GS Corporation does right now. How can I have any thoughts!


    After a moment of silence, Zhou Chao finally spoke, “Ban, I don’t have any suggestions or opinions. 1 believe thepany will get better under your leadership, and all 1 need to do is count my money.”


    “Oh, Zhou, are you being sincere?”


    “Of course, there’s no need for me to lie.”


    “Hahaha, Zhou, rest assured, thepany will definitely improve. If you have the time, feel free to visit our Crowley headquarters. Also, I’ll arrange to set up your phone number in a moment, and 1’11 send you a set of numbers and verification informationter. If you need any help, you can call the number anytime!” The address felt more friendly now.


    “Alright!” Even after hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao still had a bewildered look on his face. What kind ofpany was this that required verification?


    Soon, he received a text message on his phone and quickly opened it. It contained a set of 13-digit numbers and some verification information at the end.


    “Is this a code or verification information?”


    Zhou Chao couldn’t help but wonder when he saw thest three words on his phone.


    “Groundhog??? Is Ban messing with my sanity?” Regaining hisposure, Zhou Chao started to research what GS Corporation was all about.


    As soon as he entered the name on the webpage, information about GS Corporation appeared.


    “The world’srgest securitypany, the thirdrgest private enterprise globally, with 657,000 employees in 125 countries worldwide, specializing in security services!”


    After Zhou Chao thoroughly reviewed all the information, he finally understood what was going on.


    “So this is the way for me to contact them when 1 need security!” Looking at the message Ban had sent him earlier, it seemed like he had figured it out.


    “And Lei Du Group won’t be a surprise as well!” Zhou Chao then searched for information about Lei Du Group and indeed found a pleasant surprise!


    Lei Du Group was one of the big three in the luxury goods industry! It had many high-end luxury brands under its umbre, such as Gi, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, GP, DODO, and more!


    “Well, it looks like I won’t need to buy any luxury items in the future!” Just as Zhou Chao was fantasizing with a proud expression on his face, Jiang Li had silently approached him from behind at some point.


    “Hey!” Jiang Li suddenly patted Zhou Chao’s shoulder, startling him so much that he shivered, and even his phone flew into the air.


    Fortunately, Zhou Chao reacted quickly, catching the phone in mid-air before turning around to see Jiang Li.


    “Hahaha, you cracked me up, Brother Chao. You have no idea how hrious your expression was just now!” Jiang Liughed so hard that she had to clutch her stomach.


    “You little rascal, getting bolder by the day. Watch how 1 deal with you!” Zhou Chao said, putting his phone in his pocket and walking towards Jiang Li with a mischievous grin.


    As for the matters regarding Lei Du Group and the Hanfu Studio, they were all pushed aside.


    “Hehehe!”


    Oh, there’s a viin! Someone, save me!” Jiang Li rushed into the bedroom in a panic, and Zhou Chao quickly followed.


    Not long after, rhythmic sounds came from the bedroom,sting for a long time before finally subsiding.


    The next morning, Zhou Chao got up feeling refreshed and saw Jiang Li still sound asleep. He smiled confidently.


    “Youngdy, do you still want to challenge me?”


    After saying that, he turned and walked into the bathroom. As the bathroom door closed, Jiang Li, who had been pretending to sleep, quietly opened her eyes.


    “This scoundrel is getting worse!” She lifted the covers, looked at the marks Zhou Chao had left on her body, and couldn’t help butugh while scolding Zhou Chao under her breath.


    Click.” The bathroom door opened, and Zhou Chao, with a towel wrapped around his head, walked out. Jiang Li saw that he wasn’t wearing anything, and her delicate face blushed instantly.


    “Wake up, let’s take a shower first. We’re getting ready to go back to our home country soon!”


    “Sure, put on your clothes first!”


    “We’ve been together for so long, are you still worried aboutughter?”


    “I’m worried about you, the big bad wolf, taking advantage of me, Little Red Riding Hood!” She wrapped the nket around her as she spoke.


    Watching Jiang Li’s actions, Zhou Chao was momentarily stunned, gave her an annoyed look, and then took out his clothes to put on.


    “Is this okay?”


    “Yep.” Jiang Li lifted the nket and sat up from the bed.


    Zhou Chao had originally wanted to admire Jiang Li’s graceful figure, but he realized she was wearing a bathrobe. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.


    “Are you surprised? Are you pleased?” Jiang Li ran over to Zhou Chao, twirling around him while talking.


    “What are you doing? Hurry up and take a shower!”


    “Hehe! Do you think I don’t know what perverted thoughts you have?” She said and ran into the bathroom.


    Zhou Chao stood in front of the mirror, looking at his handsome appearance, and assessed himself from head to toe. “I’m a respectable person. How could 1 possibly be perverted?”


    “Bzzz!” The vibration of his phone interrupted Zhou Chao’s self-admiration.


    “Hello, Miles!”


    “Boss, I heard you’re leaving today!”


    “Yeah, I’ve been here for so many days. It’s time to go back. It wouldn’t be fun to stay any longer!”


    “So, boss, should I stay on Lanai Ind or go back to KE?”


    “Neither. You have a better ce to go!” Zhou Chao’s words left Miles a bit confused, thinking that he might be fired.


    Miles licked his dry lips and cautiously asked, “Boss, may I ask where I should go?”


    “Of course, it’s a great ce – join Lei Du Group as a director!”


    “Lei Du Group? Boss, are you talking about the Lei Du Group, the second-ranked luxury brand in the world?” Miles could hardly believe his ears. Did his boss have such incredible connections?


    “Yes, you should return to thew firm and transfer your responsibilities. John seemed quitepetent. Let him manage things temporarily. When you join Lei Du Group, I’ll provide you with the necessary authority.”


    “Thank you, boss, thank you! I promise to do well for you! Boss, there’s something 1 want to ask, but I’m not sure if I should.”


    “You can go ahead and ask. What’s the matter?”


    “It’s about how much ownership you have in Lei Du Group. I’m afraid I won’t be able to speak if it’s too little.”


    “Hahaha, don’t worry. You can speak freely when the timees. As for the ownership, I have 35%!”


    Miles was dumbfounded. He thought it might be a few percentage points or maybe even ten percent at most, but he never expected it to be a whopping 35%.


    “B-Boss, don’t worry… 1 won’t let you down!”


    “Hmm.” Zhou Chao hung up the phone.


    As for how well Miles would do at Lei Du Group, Zhou Chao didn’t really care. He just wanted to make a statement to prevent everyone from trying to take advantage of him. Moreover, Miles was a seasonedwyer, and Zhou Chao trusted him to handle things well.


    At this moment, Jiang Li walked out of the bathroom, water droplets from her hair running down her neck. Her rosy skin made Zhou Chao’s heart skip a beat.


    “Brother Chao, your eyeballs are about to fall out!” Jiang Li rolled her eyes at Zhou Chao.


    “That’s because my Ah Li is so good-looking,” Zhou Chao said as he walked towards her.


    Just as he was about to give her a French wet kiss, the phone that he had just put down rang again.


    “Damn, who called at a time like this?”


    He quickly walked to the phone on the table and picked it up. It turned out to be a call from Lin Wu.


    “Lin Wu, what’s up?”


    “Boss, the ne is ready on this end, and we can take off anytime. The car to the airport is also arranged, waiting just outside the vi area!”


    “Okay, what about the others? Have they been notified?”


    “They’ve all been informed!”


    “Alright, 1 got it. I’lle to the airport in a bit!”


    After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao noticed that Jiang Li had already changed her clothes.


    “So fast?”


    “It’s necessary!” Jiang Li grinned triumphantly.


    “Don’t forget what you promised me earlier when we get back to our home country, hehe!”


    “Hmph!” Jiang Li’s face turned red instantly.


    Zhou Chao chuckled and started packing his luggage. In no time, he was done.


    Let’s go!”


    Sure.”


    Zhou Chao picked up his luggage and headed downstairs. Just as he had taken a few steps outside, he saw Si Cong, Qin Fen, and others carrying their luggage and walking towards him.


    “Young Master Zhou, I have good news to tell you!” Qin Fen looked excited and couldn’t wait to share.


    “What’s the good news?”


    “Hahaha, our video of rescuing the hale went viral online, and there’s been a lot of praise!”


    “Don’t mention it. It’s ridiculous. They’re just praising him, not me!” Si Cong stood by and mocked.


    “What’s going on with you two?” Zhou Chao was a bit bewildered. Were these two having a quarrel?


    “It’s just that he’s been boasting about himself on the inte, and no one is praising Si Cong!” Li Yang exined.


    “Alright, you’re not kids anymore. Let’s go. The ne has been waiting for a while!”


    They all picked up their luggage and got on the tourist bus that had been waiting for them for a long time, heading towards the airport..
