At the break of dawn, the orange sun quietly rose from the distant horizon, piercing through the window to illuminate Zhou Chao’s face. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at .com
“Good morning, Wang Lao. Why are you up so early?” Zhou Chao descended the stairs to find Wang Lao and Wen Bin sitting on the sofa, engaged in conversation. Wen Bin occasionally scribbled notes in his notebook.
Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s voice, Wang Lao and Wen Bin paused their conversation, smiling as Zhou Chao descended the stairs. “As one gets older, waking up early becomes a habit, especially on such an important day. We need to prepare well to avoid any mistakes.”
Zhou Chao felt a tinge of embarrassment. Although the gold mine belonged to him, he hadn’t paid much attention to it. Instead, it was Wang Lao and the others who took the matter to heart.
“Wang Lao, I appreciate your concern. Have you had breakfast? If not, I can prepare something,” Zhou Chao glanced at the time; it was only 8 in the morning.
Hearing that Zhou Chao would cook, Wang Lao’s face lit up with a smile. Even Wen Bin, who was holding a notebook, put it away. “That would be too kind of you. We don’t want to trouble you,” Wang Lao replied.
“No trouble at all. You two can chat for a bit; I’ll be done soon,” Zhou Chao said as he removed his down jacket and headed to the kitchen.
As Zhou Chao entered the kitchen, Wen Bin whispered, “It’s great to be able to eat Mr. Zhou’s cooking again.”
Wang Lao overheard and couldn’t help but tease him, “Look at you, forgetting all about the state banquets you’ve attended these past years?”
Wen Bin pursed his lips, muttering under his breath, “Oh, right. Who was it that said last night, ‘Wen, save some ribs for me, and don’t eat too much shredded meat’? Now you’re acting as if you don’t know me. Just feeling a bit embarrassed, that’s all.”
“Don’t think I didn’t hear that. Talking behind my back? Just wait until this matter is over; I’ll find a way to get back at you,” Wang Lao said teasingly.
