“You’re just letting Director Mi go like this?” The three of them walked through the campus in the evening, and Li Yang suddenly asked Zhou Chao.

“That’s not how I would play it. How could I let him go? But it’s not up to me; it’s up to the principal! After all, in front of so many alumni, they’re bound to handle it seriously. Otherwise, it would be an indelible stain on the principal!”

After speaking, Zhou Chao remembered the main culprit and quickly asked Li Yang, “By the way, Big Bro, where’s Wang Hao? That guy didn’t just run away, did he?”

“Ah, don’t even get me started on that guy. Who knows where he’s gone? If 1 see him, I’ll give him a good beating!”

Li Yang’s anger flared up at the mention of Wang Hao’s name, especially since he had been playing dirty tricks behind their backs.

If it weren’t for Zhou Chao being the boss of Dragonfly Group today, he would have embarrassed himself at the alumni meeting. Who could have predicted how this whole situation would evolve?

In Zhou Chao’s mind, he was increasingly annoyed by Wang Hao, the crafty troublemaker who always attacked from behind. Sooner or later, he would reclaim his reputation!

The three of them continued to stroll leisurely through the campus pathways and soon reached the campus parking lot.

“Hey, why are there so many people here?”

For some reason, the entire parking lot was packed with people.

Zhou Chao stopped a student who was running toward the parking lot’s interior.

“Hey, what’s going on? Why are so many people gathered here? Did something happen?”

The student, stopped in his tracks by Zhou Chao, Li Yang, and Lin Wu, took a moment to catch his breath before responding, “They’re all here to see the Lamborghini Veneno and the Koenigsegg Onei. 1 heard the owners are here in the parking lot!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the student rushed into the crowd.

“Veneno? Koenigsegg? Second Bro, those are our cars, right? Who’s shameless enough to impersonate the owners?” Li Yang said, puzzled by the student’s words.

“Who knows! Let’s go check it out and find out!” Zhou Chao said, leading the way.

With their own advantages and Lin Wu’s intimidating demeanor, they quickly pushed through the thick crowd and saw what was happening inside.

“Oh my god, it’s that scoundrel!” Li Yang immediately spotted the person leaning on the Lamborghini Veneno. It was none other than Wang Hao, who had disappeared earlier.

“Big Bro, it’s like he’s delivered himself to us!” Zhou Chao chuckled as he looked at Li Yang.

“Hahaha, indeed!” Li Yang replied, then walked over to Wang Hao.

“Hey, Wang Dasha, when did you start working as a car model? Is your dad’s real estate company going bankrupt, so now you’re out here trying to make a living?” Li Yang didn’t hold back and threw back the words Wang Hao had said earlier this afternoon.

Wang Hao, who was enjoying the attention of his junior and senior schoolmates, heard the voice he least wanted to hear.

“I thought it was someone else calling me, but it’s you, Li Yang!” Wang Hao’s gaze inadvertently swept over Zhou Chao next to Li Yang. He knew that he couldn’t afford to offend him now, so he didn’t respond too harshly.

“Hehe, Master Wang, why are you leaning on the car like that? Why don’t you go inside and take a seat? Won’t your legs get tired when you keep standing out here?”

“You!” Wang Hao gritted his teeth as he looked at Li Yang as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

As Wang Hao appeared to be yielding and Zhou Chao noticed his changing attitude, Zhou Chao lost interest in teasing him. To Zhou Chao, it felt like watching kids play pretend, and since there was no more amusement to be had, he suggested, “Hey, Big Bro, let’s stop playing. This isn’t fun anymore. How about we go grab something to eat instead?”

Li Yang looked somewhat surprised at Zhou Chao. He had something to say, but when he saw the faint smile on Zhou Chao’s lips, he decided not to engage with Wang Hao any further. Instead, he took out the keys.

“Make way! We’re leaving!” Wang Hao saw the keys in Li Yang’s hand and instantly understood. However, he still pretended to be calm, slowly opened the door of a Mercedes-Benz G6oo parked next to the Lamborghini Veneno, and sat inside.

Li Yang and Zhou Chao respectively used their keys to unlock the Lamborghini Veneno and Koenigsegg. Lin Wu walked a few steps and got into a Bentley parked nearby.

“Vroom- Vroom!” The engines roared to life, and the onlookers, mostly junior and senior students, made way as Li Yang drove the Veneno out of the parking lot. Shortly after, the Koenigsegg and Bentley followed suit, heading towards the school gate.

Meanwhile, Wang Hao, sitting in the Mercedes, realized that the people he was trying to impress weren’t interested in him at all. He silently started the car, drove out of the school, and soon got onto the nearest elevated highway, heading towards Jinling.

“Hey, Second Bro, I’ll make a quick stop at home first. I’ll pick up my wife, and later you can find a place with a better atmosphere!”

“Sure, I’ll send you the address later!” Zhou Chao replied and then hung up the phone. He quickly found a spot to park on the side of the road.

In a few minutes, Lin Wu approached.

“Boss, is there something going on?”

“It’s nothing, Lin Wu. Have you been living with Li Qian lately?”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s question, Lin Wu’s face turned slightly red. He scratched his head in embarrassment and whispered, “Uh, yes, we’ve been living together for a while now.”

“Well, you two give her a call. We’ll have dinner together tonight!”

Lin Wu was taken aback for a moment but then nodded. “Boss, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”

“What’s inappropriate? Privately, we’re like brothers. We’re all family here, and it’s not like we’re having dinner with strangers. Now, give Li Qian a call. We’ll meet her and the others at Global Center after they finish work!”

Lin Wu knew that when Zhou Chao had made up his mind, it was unlikely to change, so he nodded and took out his phone, heading towards the Bentley.

After waiting for about two minutes, Zhou Chao started the car and drove towards Global Center.

By the time the two of them arrived, it was still about 20 minutes before Jiang Li and the others finished work. After parking the car, Zhou Chao took out his phone to find a suitable and stylish place for their gathering.

“”Liangshe Evening Banquet! Looks good here, let’s go!” Zhou Chao immediately made a phone call and reserved a private room. Then, he sent the address to Li Yang.

After finishing this task, it was just about the time for Jiang Li to get off work. Zhou Chao took out his phone and called her.

“Hello, hubby, is there something you need?”

“Are you off work yet? Let’s go out for dinner tonight!”

“I’m about to finish work. I’ll tidy up and come back soon!”

“I’m in the car park right now. Just come find me when you’re done. I’m at…” Zhou Chao opened the car door and looked at his car’s license plate number.

“I’m at number 67. Just come here when you’re ready!”

“Alright, I’ll be down shortly,” Jiang Li replied before hanging up.

Zhou Chao walked over to where Lin Wu was standing, leaning against a pillar and smoking not far away.

Upon noticing Zhou Chao approaching, Lin Wu quickly extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into a nearby trash bin.

“Boss!”

“Yeah, when is Li Qian coming down?”

“I called her just now, and she said she’s coming down right away!”

Zhou Chao nodded in response and soon saw Jiang Li and Li Qian walking towards them, chatting along the way.

“Hubby!” Both women exclaimed in unison, and Li Qian looked surprised as she saw Jiang Li.

“You… you… you’re the boss’s wife!”

“Hehe, surprised? Pleasantly surprised?” Seeing Jiang Li’s playful demeanor, Zhou Chao immediately hugged her.

“Now that you two know each other, I won’t make any introductions. Let’s go; it’s getting late!” Zhou Chao then held Jiang Li and walked towards the Koenigsegg, leaving Li Qian, who was still a bit stunned, behind.

“Stop looking surprised and let’s go; the boss is already in the car. Why are you still standing there in a daze?” Lin Wu’s voice snapped Li Qian out of her shock, and she quickly opened the car door and got in.

“Lao Lin, why didn’t you give me a heads-up? I could have prepared myself!” Li Qian complained to Lin Wu as soon as she got into the car.

“Say what? The boss’ wife just wanted to develop some management skills through work. If others in the company find out that she works here, who knows what trouble might arise!”

Li Qian thought for a moment and realized that Lin Wu made a valid point.

“So, what should I do in the future? How should 1 face Jiang Li… I mean, the boss’s wife?”

Lin Wu glanced at her with a hint of annoyance and said, “You’re usually so smart, why are you suddenly acting dumb? Just be yourself as usual. That’s how you’ve always been, and that’s how you should continue to be, understand?”

“I understand!”

Seeing Zhou Chao start the car and drive away, Lin Wu quickly followed suit.

It took about half an hour for Zhou Chao and the others to arrive at Liang She Night Banquet, located in the Jing’an District. The restaurant had its own parking spaces, and after Zhou Chao parked the car, he saw his Veneno parked nearby.

“Let’s go, they’ve already arrived!” Zhou Chao led the way inside.

“Hello, welcome to Liang She Night Banquet. Do you have a reservation?”

“Yes, under the name Zhou. Some of our party have already arrived.”

“Mr. Zhou, please follow me.” The host led them to the private room.

When they entered the room, they saw Li Yang and Shen Lan enjoying themselves. Li Yang was leaning on Shen Lan’s belly, doing who knows what. When they noticed Zhou Chao and the others had arrived, Li Yang quickly sat up.

“You finally made it! I’ve already ordered the dishes. Waiter, please bring the food!” Li Yang quickly spoke up, trying to divert attention from the awkward moment earlier.

Zhou Chao and the others found their seats and soon, the waiters began serving the beautifully prepared dishes. Li Yang’s hungry stomach had been growling for a while, so he couldn’t help but start eating right away.

“Ahem, let’s eat!” Laughter filled the room, and after a while, the room was filled with the sound of chopsticks clinking.

After enjoying a meal for over an hour, they ordered a few more dishes because some of them were particularly delicious.

When they finally left the restaurant, their stomachs were round and full.

“Alright, everyone, let’s head back home separately!” Zhou Chao bid Li Yang and Lin Wu goodbye before taking Jiang Li with him and getting into the car. Li Yang and Lin Wu each went their own way as well..
