Chapter 792: The Journey to Fog City (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Brother Hu’s residence in Modu was located in the Renheng Riverside City, right in the center of the Lianyang-Biyun International Community, overlooking the 140-hectare Century Park to the south, surrounded by the Modu Science and Technology Museum, Oriental Art Center, and the New International Expo Center. There’s also the Thumb Plaza, integrating shopping, dining, leisure, entertainment, hotels, and art into one vibrant hub, making it an extremely dynamic new international living area in East Modu.
The price of the Renheng Riverside City was also quite steep. It’s said that Brother Hu’s house here is priced at over a hundred million, of course, incomparable to Zhou Chao’s villa.
The Renheng Riverside City wasn’t too far from the top-notch villa where Zhou Chao resides. By car, it only took about ten minutes.
As they entered the community, Lin Wu drove straight in without any surprises. Originally, a young security guard wanted to stop Zhou Chao’s car to register it, but an older security guard stopped him.
“Brother Yuan, why didn’t you let me register? Didn’t the leaders say that all external vehicles must be registered?” The young security guard asked with a slight frown, looking at the security guard beside him.
Brother Yuan didn’t respond immediately but stared at Zhou Chao’s car until it entered the underground garage.
“Young man, you don’t know how to appreciate kindness. Do you know what kind of car that was just now?” Brother Yuan understood the young security guard’s feelings. Back when he first entered society, he was the same.
Being loyal to duty and completely obedient to the leader’s arrangements, but the trials of reality gradually made him more sophisticated.
“Just a Lamborghini, worth only a few million. We have about a dozen of them in our community. Last week, didn’t we stop a visitor’s car who came to visit the villa area?” The young security guard said with a hint of pride on his face.
“Only a few million?!” Brother Yuan gave the young security guard a disdainful look. When did he start thinking that a few million was pocket change?
However, Brother Yuan didn’t dwell on this issue too much. After all, he had once had such a mentality. Long-term contact with the higher echelons gave him a sense of belonging to that level, and luxury cars seemed ordinary to him!
“A few million? The Lamborghini just now is a limited edition Venom, with a price close to one billion. There are only two or three of them in the country. You can imagine how prominent the owner of this car is!” Hearing Brother Yuan’s words, the young security guard directly stood still in place, stunned.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu had already arrived at Brother Hu’s building in the underground garage.
Just as they parked, Brother Hu greeted them with a smile.
“Young Master Zhou! Welcome, welcome!” Brother Hu said, nodding to Lin Wu as well.
“Sorry to keep you waiting!” Zhou Chao responded with a smile.
“No, I just arrived in the garage!”
Without much more conversation in the garage, the two walked towards the elevator, while Lin Wu followed closely behind with a file bag in hand.
Soon, the elevator stopped on the twenty-sixth floor. There were only two households on the entire floor, and the corridor was decorated very festively.
Zhou Chao looked around with some confusion. Why were both sides decorated so festively? Did Brother Hu’s neighbor also get married today?
Seemingly sensing Zhou Chao’s confusion, Brother Hu smiled and said, “The family next door is my good friend Yuan Hong’s. Originally, we weren’t planning to decorate, but Yuan Hong insisted on adding some ceremony, plus there are only two families on the entire floor, so we just did a simple decoration.”
Zhou Chao nodded in understanding. After all, weddings should be a little festive.
Following Brother Hu into the house, they saw a group of people chatting happily on the sofa in the living room.
There weren’t many people on the sofa, only four or five, all young people. Among them, Zhou Chao recognized Yuan Hong and his wife, whom he was quite familiar with.
“Young Master Zhou, this is my wife, Xinin!” Brother Hu pulled a young woman from the crowd to his side with a smile, introducing her happily.
“Young Master Zhou, hello!” Xinin respectfully greeted, it seemed that Brother Hu had told her about Zhou Chao’s identity.
But it was also normal to think about it. After all, she was his wife. Brother Hu must have briefed her on such an important matter. In case she unintentionally offended Zhou Chao, it would be more harm than good.
“Wishing you both a happy marriage. I hope you don’t mind this small gift!” As Zhou Chao finished speaking, Lin Wu stepped forward, handing the file bag to Brother Hu and Xinin.
The couple glanced at each other, not sure whether to accept it.
Brother Hu knew Zhou Chao’s generosity very well. His gifts were always quite generous, even surpassing Si Cong, who was once known as the “National Husband.”
Zhou Chao also noticed their hesitation and smiled, saying, “It’s not anything valuable. Please feel free to accept it!”
“Just take it. This is Young Master Zhou’s sincerity. You shouldn’t refuse it!” Yuan Hong, who was originally sitting on the sofa, somehow appeared next to Brother Hu and Xinin.
Upon hearing this, Brother Hu didn’t hesitate much either. He took the file bag from Lin Wu and handed it to his wife, Xinin, after a whispered instruction.
After whispering a few words to Xinin, Brother Hu then turned to Zhou Chao and invited, “Young Master Zhou, please sit here!”
Since everyone present was young, the conversation flowed smoothly. Although there was initially a bit of restraint due to Zhou Chao’s presence, being young people, they quickly relaxed and enjoyed themselves.
