“System check-in.”

“Congratulations, host, on checking in. Hotel Grand Package awarded!” As Zhou Chao lay in bed, groggy from sleep, he suddenly woke up, wondering if he had been dreaming.

“System, open the hotel grand package.”

“Congratulations, host, on acquiring ownership of all Hilton hotels in Greater China.” Zhou Chao hadn’t even had time to feel excited before receiving a notification from Penguin QQ. He immediately opened the message.

“Shocking! Hilton Group’s ownership of all hotels in Greater China has been acquired by a mysterious tycoon!” Zhou Chao was quite surprised to read this information. The items obtained through system check-ins had reached a new level of sophistication!

Zhou Chao took out his phone and searched for Hilton hotels. He found that there were nearly 200 Hilton hotels in Greater China. This number was truly astounding, meaning that he could stay in Hilton hotels all over the country in the future!

Just as Zhou Chao was about to explore further, his phone rang. Seeing an unfamiliar number, he considered ignoring it, but then he had a sudden realization and answered the call.

“Hello!”

“Hello, boss, I’m Qian Jin, the president of Hilton Greater China.” From the other end of the phone came a strong and magnetic voice.

“Hello, Mr. Qian!”

“Boss, the company has completed the handover with Hilton headquarters. Currently, there are nearly 200 Hilton hotels in Greater China. Do you have any plans for them?”

“Well, 1 don’t have any specific plans. You can continue with the existing development plan. We’ll discuss it when I return to Modu.”

“Understood, boss. By the way, where are you now? 1 can arrange for someone to deliver a special hotel card to you.”

“I’m in Jingdu, at the Courtyard on the Canal. Just have someone deliver it here.”

“Alright, boss. I’ll make the arrangements.”

“Good.” After the call, Zhou Chao hung up.

“Oh, Jiang Li didn’t mention where they would be celebrating Old Master Jiang’s birthday today!” Zhou Chao recalled this and quickly called Jiang Li.

“Hello, Brother Chao!” Jiang Li’s sweet voice came through.

“Ah Li, where is Old Master’s celebration being held today?” Zhou Chao realized he hadn’t been informed.

“Oh, Brother Chao, I forgot to tell you. It’s at the Hilton Hotel in Chaoyang District.”

“Well, isn’t that quite a coincidence!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but admire the power of the system.

“Brother Chao, what did you say?” Jiang Li hesitated, not hearing clearly.

“It’s nothing. I just missed you!” Indeed, this sentence still worked like a charm.

“I miss you too!”

“All Li, do you think I’m meeting your family? What if they don’t like me?”

“Huh, who said anything about meeting my family? You’re imagining things!” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but laugh at Jiang Li’s shy response.

The two of them chatted for a while, but Jiang Li had some work to do and hung up. Zhou Chao’s heart was still nervous due to his earlier words.

“I wonder what Ah Li’s family will be like, and whether they’ll be satisfied with me.” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel anxious, but after a while, he calmed down.

“Well, I shouldn’t think too much about it. 1’11 find out when I get there!” Just as Zhou Chao was lost in thought, the doorbell rang. He redirected his focus and headed downstairs.

“Hello, who are you looking for?” Zhou Chao opened the door and saw a mature woman standing there.

“Hello, is Mr. Zhou Chao here?”

“I am Zhou Chao. Who are you?”

“You are Mr. Zhou?” The mature woman was surprised but quickly reacted.

“Boss, 1 apologize; I didn’t know you were so young. Please forgive me!” The mature woman quickly apologized, and as she bowed, Zhou Chao noticed a glimpse of snow-white.

“It’s okay. Who are you?”

“Boss, I am Jiang Xin, the general manager of Hilton Hotel in Jingdu. 1 came to deliver a card to you.” Jiang Xin took a black card from her bag.

“Boss, this is your exclusive black card. Anyone holding this card can enjoy free expenses at any of the company’s hotels!” Jiang Xin handed it over with both hands. This time, Zhou Chao clearly saw the snow-white.

“I see. By the way, is there an elderly man surnamed Jiang celebrating his birthday at the Hilton Hotel in Chaoyang District tonight?” Zhou Chao remembered what Jiang Li had mentioned about the birthday celebration.

“Yes, Boss. Do you have any arrangements?”

“Use the best ingredients for everything, and all expenses will be charged to my account!” Jiang Xin was also surprised to hear this. Anyone who could make the boss speak like this must be a family to him.

“Yes, Boss. I’ll make the arrangements immediately!”

“Alright, you can go back to work for now.” After that, Zhou Chao turned and walked away, leaving Jiang Xin looking at his disappearing figure.

“Boss is so handsome. Those glances he gave me earlier made my heart race.” Jiang Xin touched her rapidly beating heart and couldn’t help but think of some inappropriate images.

After a while, Jiang Xin resumed her strong and confident demeanor. She glanced at the front door and then left.

Zhou Chao played with the card for a moment and saw the number 001 on it. He couldn’t help but smile.

“I never thought 1, Zhou Chao, would have privileges like this one day.” He then put the card in his bag.

“Shoufu, you naughty little rascal, you’ve gained some weight again. If you don’t start exercising, 1’11 have you neutered!” Shoufu, who had been lying on the sofa wagging his tail, stood up when he heard Zhou Chao’s words.

“Meow.” Shoufu ran into Zhou Chao’s arms, rubbing his head against Zhou Chao’s chest and softly meowing.

“Oh, now you want to act cute. Where were you earlier? I’ll tell you, it’s too late now!” Zhou Chao picked Shoufu up, and the two of them stared at each other. Zhou Chao sternly spoke to Shoufu.

“Meow, meow.” Looking at Shoufu’s cute yet somewhat pitiful expression, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but laugh.

“Alright, I’ll let you off this time. If you don’t exercise and become a fat cat, 1’11 be disgusted!” Zhou Chao hugged Shoufu and playfully rubbed him.

In no time, it was 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and Zhou Chao went to the study to place Tang Yin’s peach blossom hermit painting into a small purple sandalwood box. He then carried the box and headed downstairs.

“Shoufu, I’m going out. I’ll come back to accompany you tonight.” Afterward, he headed to the garage with the car keys.

Zhou Chao reached the Hilton Hotel in Chaoyang District a little before 4 o’clock. Upon exiting his car, he immediately noticed Jiang Li seated at the lobby entrance. With the painting box in hand, Zhou Chao made his way over to her.

Quietly, he approached from behind Jiang Li and gently whispered in her ear, “Darling, were you waiting for me?”
