After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao resumed his battle with the fish head that he hadn’t finished earlier.

On the sidelines, Hou Ting observed Zhou Chao’s hesitant demeanor. After Zhou Chao spat out the fish bones and asked, “What’s up? This isn’t your usual style. If you have something to ask, just ask!”

“I’m just curious about that gold mine you mentioned on the phone. You haven’t expanded your business overseas and become a mine owner, have you? And as for that Abdullah, is he the wealthy prince of Saudi that I’m thinking of?” Hou Ting fired off two questions in a row, looking at Zhou Chao with eyes full of curiosity.

He never expected Zhou Chao to have progressed so quickly, already rubbing shoulders with famous billionaires worldwide, and appearing quite familiar with them.

“The business has long expanded overseas. As for the gold mine you mentioned, it was discovered on my ranch in Russia And about Abdullah, hmm, just as you thought, he’s indeed a big shot from Saudi.”

After finishing his explanation, Hou Ting immediately stood up, somewhat excitedly declaring, “Big bro, I think you’ve been missing a sidekick lately. How about me?”

Zhou Chao, still unsure of Hou Ting’s intentions, didn’t rush to respond. After a moment’s thought, he said, “If you don’t have anything going on these next couple of days, you can tag along with me.”

Seeing Zhou Chao agree to let him join, Hou Ting quickly lifted his cup from the table, “Thanks, Zhou Chao!” and gulped down the contents.

“Alright, no need to be so formal. There’ll be tasks assigned to you later!” Zhou Chao had his own plans. With Abdullah coming to Huaxia, Zhou Chao would have to accompany him for leisure, especially since Abdullah was a playboy himself. Hou Ting happened to be skilled in this area, so Zhou Chao would have to rely on him.

Zhou Chao glanced at the time; it was only eight o’clock. He shook his head helplessly. “I’m starting to regret my decision from yesterday. Can I take it back now?”

“How could that be? Zhou Chao’s words are like nails, once spoken, they can’t be taken back!” Hou Ting sat down but quickly stood up again.

“Alright, I’m just teasing you!” Seeing Hou Ting’s nervousness, Zhou Chao smirked.

After saying this, Zhou Chao turned and headed back to the bedroom, planning to wake up Jiang Li and take a shower.

After about half an hour of hustle and bustle, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li emerged from the bedroom, dressed neatly.

Hou Ting also tactfully stood up to greet Jiang Li, “Good morning, sister-in-law!”

“Good morning!” Jiang Li was a bit surprised. She felt that Hou Ting was unusually attentive today. Although she was full of doubts, Jiang Li smiled and responded.

“Sister-in-law, try the breakfast I brought. Luckily, I used a thermos bag, so it’s still warm!” Hou Ting said as he opened the bag on the table.

But when he turned around, he saw Zhou Chao looking at him with a hostile expression. Hou Ting awkwardly smiled, “Zhou Chao, you should try it too. It won’t taste good if it gets cold!”

“Thank you so much!” Zhou Chao gritted his teeth.

Seeing Jiang Li laughing beside them, Zhou Chao realized that Hou Ting was doing this to express gratitude to him. While Zhou Chao might not think much of it, this kind of guidance could potentially elevate Hou Ting’s family business to a higher level..
