Sicong, how much profit did you make this time? Qin Fen asked as Zhou Chao and Xiao Yang left.

Just spill the beans; youve been teasing us for so long. Now that were all here, its time to spill it, Zhang Wenxuan added, leaning in.

Seeing their eagerness, Si Cong burst into laughter and said, Zhou Chao transferred $12 billion to me.

$12 billion? Isnt that our initial investment? Did Zhou Chao not use it, or did the project not need the investment? Zhang Wenxuan was dumbfounded, thinking they might have celebrated prematurely.

Qin Fen was puzzled too, but when he saw Si Congs confident expression, a thought flashed through his mind. He said, almost in disbelief, Si Cong, you mean $12 billion in USD?

Upon hearing Qin Fens question, Shen Wenxuan, who was beside Si Cong, also looked at him expectantly.

Si Cong nodded slightly and said, Thats right, $12 billion in USD, equivalent to 82.8 billion Huaxia currency.

82.8 billion?!!! Qin Fen exclaimed in shock, and Zhang Wenxuan was still stunned.

Well, yes. i calculated approximately based on the capital each of us contributed. Im getting 48.3 billion, Wenxuan is getting 20.7 billion, and as for you, Qin Fen, youll receive 13.8 billion. Ive already transferred the funds through a special channel. Check your phones; you should see it in your accounts, Si Cong explained.

The two of them quickly took out their phones and indeed found a substantial amount deposited in their accounts. After verifying, they put down their phones. However, both wore ecstatic expressions.

After the euphoria subsided, envy set in. Qin Fen and Zhang Wenxuan stared at Si Cong intensely, making him a bit nervous.

Why are you both looking at me like that? Si Cong asked, picking up his glass.

Qin Fen sighed after looking at Si Cong for a while. Its your courage, Si Cong. This profit you made might take us years of hard work to achieve. Even my fathers Yi Da Groups annual net profit is barely half of what you just earned.

Si Cong chuckled and said, Im not bragging, but this net profit from just this venture could take me at least ten years of hard work to earn. Even my dads Yida Group, their annual net profit is roughly only half of what Ive made this time.

All, if only 1 had invested more back then. 1 wonder how much money Young Master Zhou made this time. I didnt hear any rumors either! Zhang Wenxuan asked curiously.

Hearing Zhang Wenxuans question, Si Cong and Qin Fen exchanged a glance and noticed a hint of curiosity in his eyes. However, they knew that Zhang Wenxuan was just testing the waters.

Wenxuan, lets pretend 1 didnt hear that. I also hope you wont ask this question again. Young Master Zhou has already done us a huge favor by bringing us into this. Instead of worrying about how much he earned, we should think about how to repay him! Si Cong lit a cigarette, seemingly nonchalant.

Hearing Si Congs words, Zhang Wenxuan nodded in understanding and began contemplating. Meanwhile, Qin Fen had been deep in thought since earlier.

On the other side, Zhou Chao and Xiao Yang arrived in the hotel lobby, where Zhou Chao arranged for a driver to take Xiao Yang back.

Boss, why didnt you inform me in advance? I could have made some preparations! Tang Mingming had appeared by Zhou Chaos side without him noticing.

Why should 1 inform you? 1 came with a wealthy friend today. Shouldnt they be the ones to treat me instead of me paying out of my own pocket? Zhou Chao retorted with a hint of annoyance.

Tang Mingming quickly understood the situation. His boss was here with friends, and he had just swindled him into a lavish meal.

Boss, 1 understand. Ill leave right away. If you need anything, just give me a call!

Alright, go ahead. Ill head back to the private room, Zhou Chao said as he walked toward the private room.

Tang Mingming watched Zhou Chao leave and then gave some instructions to the lobby manager before leaving himself.

Young Master Zhou, youre back! The three people, still basking in joy, stood up as Zhou Chao opened the door and entered. Si Cong and the others quickly greeted him.

Well, have you all finished your meal? Lets go for some physical activity! Zhou Chao could tell from their flushed faces that Si Cong had already distributed the profits during his absence.

Lets go, its been a while since Ive played any sports, and my hands are itching, Si Cong said, making a few playful gestures.

Si Cong, do you really play this? 1 always thought you were into sports like basketball! Zhang Wenxuan, standing by, extended his hands and made a basketball gesture in the air. Si Cong was left bewildered by Zhang Wenxuans actions, while Zhou Chao and Qin Fen burst into laughter.

Pfft, I didnt realize, Zhang Wenxuan, that youre also quite a character! Retorted Si Cong, coming back to his senses immediately.

Come on, come on, save this discussion for tonight when you two go explore some bars or clubs. Dont keep Young Master Zhou waiting! Qin Fens words interrupted their argument, and Si Cong and Zhang Wenxuan covertly glanced at Zhou Chao, relieved to see that he wasnt angry.

Zhou Chao watched their small antics and smiled, not saying anything.

The four of them exited the private room, and as they reached the lobby, Si Cong pulled Qin Fen aside and said, You go settle the bill first; Ill take Young Master Zhou to the golf course.

Qin Fen nodded and proceeded to the front desk.

VIP Room 888, how much is the bill? Qin Fen asked as he took out his bank card.

Please wait a moment. The front desk receptionists eyes flashed with surprise when she heard Room 888.

After a brief moment, the receptionist, with a smile on her face, said to Qin Fen, Sir, your total bill is 1.38 million. Heres the bill for your reference.

1.38 million?! Even for someone who wasnt short on money like Qin Fen, this price was astonishing. After all, they had just had a meal and some drinks. However, even with his upbringing, he still accepted the bill from the receptionist and looked it over.

When he saw that two bottles of wine alone had cost 1.2 million, his mouth twitched slightly. He couldnt help but feel that something was off, especially considering that most of the wine had been consumed by Xiao Yang. But when he thought about how insignificant this expense was compared to what he had earned, he couldnt help but feel amused.

After confirming the details, Qin Fen paid the bill without hesitation and put the receipt in his pocket. Then, he walked briskly toward the exit.

As Qin Fen left the lobby, he didnt see any sign of Zhou Chao and the others. He muttered to himself, No loyalty.

He looked around and spotted a golf cart parked at the hotel entrance. He got in and headed towards the golf course. When Qin Fen finally found Zhou Chao and the others, he realized they had already started playing.

Qin Fen, why are you so slow? Come over here. Its three of us against Young Master Zhou, and you have no idea how skilled he is. Two strokes per hole! Qin Fen had just stepped out of the cart when he heard Si Congs shout.

Are you guys really that bad? Qin Fen walked over, hearing Si Congs scornful comment.

Although both second-generation rich individuals liked to have fun, their interests varied. For example, Si Cong enjoyed gaming and spending time with women, while Qin Fen was into sports of all kinds. Thats why he had the confidence to make such a remark about the two.

Come over if you think youre so good! Si Cong didnt waste any time and handed his golf club to Qin Fen, standing by with an expression as if he were about to enjoy a show.

In less than an hour, Qin Fen was sitting by the golf course, watching Zhou Chao swinging his golf club on the field. He muttered to himself, Unbelievable, hes not human. After playing sixteen holes, Im down by ten holes. Whats the point of me even playing!

Hey, cant handle it anymore? Werent you the one who boasted about giving us a challenge earlier? Why are you backing down now?

It might be because of the recent hot weather, too much sun!

Listening to Si Cong and Zhang Wenxuans sarcastic remarks, Qin Fen looked at them irritably and said, Enough of you two. I admit defeat this time. 1 didnt expect Zhou Chaos skills to be so good. Did you guys anticipate this?

Hearing Qin Fens words, Si Cong and Zhang Wenxuan fell silent.

It really feels like Zhou Chao is a hidden talent. Its the same when he plays games; his skills keep improving, and he even reached the top rank in the national server. Si Cong sat down next to Qin Fen and continued to complain.

You guys ever wonder why Zhou Chaos mind is so sharp? Hes got great abilities. 1 have no idea whats inside that head of his. Take this recent incident, for example. Its only been about a week, and our assets have doubled. How many years would we need to achieve this on our own? People are just on another level, and its frustrating! Zhang Wenxuan sighed.

Agreeing with Zhang Wenxuans words, Si Cong nodded and said, Yeah, hes on another level. We might be considered significant in our own right in China, but in front of Young Master Zhou, we feel like novicesno, were like his little brothers.

Si Congs words made Qin Fen and Zhang Wenxuan burst into laughter, even though they found it somewhat self-deprecating.

What are you three talking about? You seem to be having a good time, Zhou Chao, who had approached them unnoticed, asked as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

We were just talking about how talented and amazing Young Master Zhou is. Looks like we wont dare to challenge you in the future.

What do you mean Im talented? If you ask me to give birth to a child, 1 wonder if 1 can do it! Zhou Chao joked.

Si Cong and the others were momentarily stunned, but then they burst into laughter.

Young Master Zhou, are you guys still playing? I want to go back to the hotel and take a break. Its too hot out here! Zhang Wenxuan, drinking mineral water, spoke up.

Its indeed quite hot today. I heard that Fog City has already reached temperatures above 40 degrees. A few days ago, people online were saying that Fog City had been eliminated from the four major hot cities, and now, just a few days later, its turned into a melting pot. They say temperatures above 40 degrees will continue for over half a month! Surfing enthusiast Si Cong shared some weather knowledge online.

Young Master Zhou, I remember youre from Fog City, right? Is it really that hot in Fog City?

Yes, thats right. Zhou Chao nodded, but he still seemed a bit distracted, thinking about what Si Cong had mentioned regarding the high temperatures in Fog City. Somehow, he felt that something was off, but he couldnt quite figure it out.

Lets go back to the hotel; this weather is unbearable! It was the peak of the afternoon heat, and Si Cong and the others couldnt bear the scorching sun any longer. They just wanted to return to the hotel, lie down, enjoy the air conditioning, and have some cold drinks.

Agreed, this weather isnt suitable for continuing to play, Zhou Chao nodded.

With that, the four of them packed up their things and hopped onto the golf cart, heading back to the hotel..
