Chapter 717: So What If I Bring You To Earn Extra Money! (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lao Wu felt a bit bewildered. Before he could think it through, he was already being dragged by Si Cong to follow Lin Wu to the garage.
As soon as they arrived at the garage, they saw a dozen supercars looking particularly imposing under the lights.
“Wow, this is so cool!” Lao Wu couldn’t contain his excitement, feeling completely overwhelmed.
“Ah, even though I’ve seen them several times, every time I see these luxury cars, I feel a special excitement, always imagining tearing around the racetrack a few laps. Too bad…” Si Cong said, running his hand over the body of a Lamborghini Veneno, as if caressing the delicate skin of a beautiful woman.
“Hey, Lao Wu, here are the keys. Take a look at whichever one you like!” Lin Wu approached with a box full of car keys.
Si Cong wasn’t shy at all. Even though he had a similar car of his own, he couldn’t resist experiencing it again.
Seeing this, Old Wu also picked up a key to admire.
“I still think this Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta is the most imposing. It’s a shame it’s only suitable for the racetrack. If it gets scratched or dented on the road, it’ll be heartbreaking!” Si Cong sat in the Pagani, his hands turning the steering wheel several times.
“If you like it, whenever you have time, you can drive it to the racetrack for a spin. It’s usually kept in the garage anyway, so you can help me air it out and prevent it from getting moldy!” Zhou Chao appeared in the garage at some point.
Hearing Zhou Chao’s voice, Si Cong quickly leaned out of the car and gestured to his good friend.
“I wouldn’t dare. If anything happened, I wouldn’t have enough to compensate you! Young Master Zhou, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Wu Sheng!” he said, pulling the man standing nearby over.
“Young Master Zhou, nice to meet you!” Wu Sheng greeted respectfully.
Zhou Chao nodded slightly, glancing at Wu Sheng, who stood about 1.78 meters tall, looking refined and handsome.
“Since you’re Si Cong’s friend, there’s no need to be so formal. Just treat it like hanging out with us privately!”
Then, Zhou Chao’s tone changed. “So, have you found anything suitable for tomorrow? Feel free to pick any car here!”
Excitedly rubbing his hands, Wu Sheng glanced at Si Cong beside him before turning to Young Master Zhou. “Young Master Zhou, I’ve got my eye on four cars: two Lamborghinis, a Koenigsegg One:1, and that Hennessy Venom GT. Can we take them?”
“Of course, no problem at all. If you need more, feel free to take any of the others too!”
“No, no need!” Wu Sheng quickly shook his head. Just these few cars were worth two or three hundred million. If anything happened, he wouldn’t be able to afford it.
Seeming to understand his concerns, Zhou Chao didn’t say much more and simply gestured to Lin Wu to select the keys for these cars.
At that moment, Si Cong, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. “Young Master Zhou, today we’ll take one Lamborghini and the Hennessy Venom back. Tomorrow, could you help bring the other two? We’ll just join in the fun then!”
“Well, am I being roped into something here?” Zhou chao chuckled as he looked at Si Cong and Wu Sheng jokingly.
However, Zhou Chao didn’t refuse and nodded in agreement, “Alright, just send me the address, and I’ll be there on time!”
“It’s not far from where you live, just a ten-minute drive!”
After chatting for a while longer, Si Cong drove off with Wu Sheng. There were still many things to prepare for today, so they didn’t linger at Zhou Chao’s place.
Zhou Chao also noticed that Si Cong and Wu Sheng had a good relationship. Otherwise, with Si Cong’s somewhat lazy personality, how could he be so busy?
As the two cars disappeared from sight, Lin Wu asked, “Boss, are we really going to chauffeur for his wedding tomorrow?”
Zhou Chao glanced at him and said, “Didn’t you see that I already agreed? Besides, bringing you along to earn some extra money and have a meal, what’s wrong with that?”
“Although that’s what you said, I still feel a bit awkward about it, but I can’t put my finger on why!”
“If you can’t figure it out, then don’t worry about it. Eating together tomorrow is the most important thing!” Zhou Chao said, then turned and went upstairs.
Lin Wu stood there for a while, unable to figure it out. So, as Zhou Chao suggested, he stopped thinking about it and went straight to the gaming area, ready to relax.
Back upstairs, Zhou Chao lounged on the sofa and started playing with his phone. Shoufu somehow ended up lying on him.
“I just happened to feel a bit cold, and here you are!” Zhou Chao chuckled, rubbing Shoufu’s head.
“Meow~” Shoufu meowed and then settled down to rest.
After playing with the cat for a while, Zhou Chao shifted his attention back to his phone. “Our country’s renowned biologist and forest cultivation expert, Academician Ye, has dedicated the remainder of his life to combating desertification.”
Looking at the information on his phone, Zhou Chao knew that his ideal candidate had appeared. He wondered if this person would be willing to work in his research lab. However, considering the transformation technology for desertified soil in that document, who could refuse?
Zhou Chao then sent Ling Chen a message, asking him to investigate some information about this person. As for why he didn’t use Xiao Guo directly, it was mainly because he felt that this way, the other party would have some privacy, and besides, he wasn’t short on time!
Given the current size of the Dragonfly Group, investigating a person is quite simple, especially someone with such fame.
The investigation report was sent by Zhou Chao in the morning and received around two in the afternoon.
Looking at the introduction in the report, it seemed that this forestry expert was still on the front lines of combating desertification. Despite being in his seventies, he hadn’t put down his research.
“Isn’t this place a bit far? Do I really have to make a special trip to Inner Mongolia?” Zhou Chao felt a bit overwhelmed when he saw the school where Ye Lao worked.
“I’ll ask Lao Zhou and the others later. If there’s no better candidate, then I’ll make a trip to Inner Mongolia. It’s also a good opportunity to explore and prepare for future plans!”
With these considerations in mind, Zhou Chao stopped dwelling on these matters.
The next day came quickly. As the sky began to brighten, Zhou Chao yawned and got into the driver’s seat of the Koenigsegg.
“Boss, are you sure it’s okay to drive like this?” Lin Wu asked, a bit worried.
“It’s fine. I’ll wake up soon. Let’s go; it’s not early anymore,” Zhou Chao said, lightly rubbing his face to wake himself up a bit.
However, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but regret a bit at this moment. Sleeping at home on such a day would have been more comfortable. Why did he have to join in the excitement? Now, he couldn’t find a way to back out.
When Zhou Chao arrived at the destination, there were already six or seven cars parked. The lead car was quite familiar to Zhou Chao—it was Si Cong’s red Rolls-Royce. He hadn’t expected it to be the wedding car, but then again, red was quite auspicious!
“Young Master Zhou, you’re here!” Si Cong, dressed in a groomsman’s suit, jogged over with a smile.
Someone who didn’t know might think it was Si Cong’s wedding today!
“Not too late, I hope?” Zhou Chao said with a smile from the driver’s seat.
“We just arrived not long ago. We’ll depart in a little while,” Si Cong replied.
“Alright, you go ahead and take care of your business. Don’t worry about me; I’ll just follow along with the rest!”
Si Cong also understood Zhou Chao’s meaning. After all, today’s protagonist wasn’t Zhou Chao He signaled to Si Cong that there was no need for him to be overly enthusiastic.
“Alright, I won’t say anymore. I’ll have a good drink after everything’s done!”
Zhou Chao nodded slightly, and Si Cong turned around to go and attend to others.
At eight in the morning, with Si Cong’s loud shout of “Let’s get the bride!” a luxurious convoy slowly departed from the residential area, heading towards the bride’s home!
