“F * ck!”

“F * ck!”

Even Si Cong and Hou Ting, who were mentally prepared, couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement when they saw the luxurious mansion before them.

“This house is incredibly lavish. Just looking at the exterior and this huge yard, I’ve already fallen in love with this place. Let’s go, let me take a look inside!” Hou Ting couldn’t contain his admiration and exclaimed. Then, he briskly walked toward the entrance.

Hou Ting pushed the front door a couple of times, but it didn’t budge. He looked back at Zhou Chao, who was following him.

“Come on, Young Master Zhou, let me see your mansion!”

With a helpless expression, Zhou Chao shook his head, took a few quick steps, and placed his hand on the door lock.

*Click!* The door lock was released, and Zhou Chao pushed the door open and entered. Si Cong and Hou Ting followed closely behind.

Seeing the opulent interior, Si Cong and Hou Ting were at a loss for words for a moment.

“Bloody hell, this house is almost wasted as a club. But 1 like it; it’s quite thrilling!” Si Cong, who had been relatively quiet, couldn’t help but comment.

“Let’s go, Si Cong. Let’s take a look around!” Hou Ting said and started exploring the place. Zhou Chao, on the other hand, went to the sofa, removed the dust cover, and sat down.

After nearly half an hour of exploring, Si Cong and Hou Ting finally returned to the living room and sat beside Zhou Chao.

“Chao, to be honest, using this villa as a club seems like a waste. You might as well live here yourself and use The Palms Residence as the club’s base!” Si Cong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, gave one to each of them, lit one for himself, and then took a long drag. He looked at Zhou Chao, who seemed indifferent, and continued.

“No problem. I actually like The Palms Residence. Besides the occasional sound of passing ships’ whistles, everything else is great. 1 also have another villa, and that one is even better. So, leaving this one vacant is no big deal. It’s better to let the club members live comfortably here.” Zhou Chao also took a deep drag of his cigarette, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he was thinking of something interesting.

“Is there something even better than this? With this size, your villa should be the king of the entire Dongjiao No.i.”

“There are several units of this type, each with a different style! You’ll find out about my new place in due time. When the time comes, I’ll host a small gathering at my home, and 1’11 call you in advance!”

“Alright, there shouldn’t be a lack of good wine must!” Si Cong didn’t forget the excellent wines Zhou Chao had on hand. After returning home last night, he had even called his old man to brag a little.

“Don’t worry; I’ll make sure you have your fill!” Zhou Chao replied, checking his wristwatch. It was nearly noon.

“Let’s call it a day for now. 1’11 host lunch today. You guys pick a place, and I’ll arrange it!” Si Cong and Hou Ting exchanged glances when they heard this, both wearing mischievous smiles on their faces. It made Zhou Chao feel a bit uneasy, as he knew they were going to take advantage of him during lunchtime.

“The Bund’s Jiangnan Pavilion!” Si Cong and Hou Ting chimed in unison.

Zhou Chao shook his head in resignation and then stood up. “Let’s go!”

Si Cong and Hou Ting wore triumphant smiles and followed Zhou Chao as they headed out. The three of them got into their cars and drove towards The Bund. During the drive, Zhou Chao made a phone call to Jiangnan Pavilion and booked a private room using his Huaxia Bank black card privileges.

After approximately half an hour, they arrived at Jiangnan Pavilion. The place was already bustling with activity, but luckily, Zhou Chao had reserved a private room with his black card benefits.

Zhou Chao looked at the table filled with dishes and couldn’t help but smile wryly. He patted his head.

“I really rushed things today! Can you two animals finish all this food?” Zhou Chao looked at the two who were enjoying their meal and teased them.

“What do you mean, can’t finish? Don’t just look at the number of dishes; check out the portion sizes. 1 can finish all of this myself. Hou Ting here is the one going overboard. Leave half of that quail for me! You’re really stingy, Chao. Everyone knows that the quail at Jiangnan Pavilion is exceptional, and you want to keep it all to yourself!”

As Zhou Chao observed Si Cong and Hou Ting’s antics, he couldn’t help but laugh. But as he noticed the dwindling supply of delicious food, his expression changed, and he joined the battle for the remaining delicacies.

“Alright, let’s each go our separate ways. I’ll have the club arrangements sorted out tomorrow. Si Cong, when the time comes, you can send someone to bring Ah Shui and the others over, or 1 can go pick them up.”

Si Cong pondered for a moment. He hadn’t informed Ah Shui and the others about this yet, so when he got back, he would have to do some explaining. After all, being traded without knowing anything about it was bound to be a headache.

“I’ll send them over tomorrow morning. You can meet them then!”

“Alright, Young Master Hou, I’ve already got the members for Team 1 sorted out. Tomorrow, you should come and take a look. As for the original members, you can handle that as you see fit!” Hou Ting nodded in response. After all, some of the original members’ contracts had expired, and they already left. The remaining ones were not very well-known players.

“Okay, once I’m done with things here, I’ll head back to Chengdu to handle those matters!”

“Then I’ll take my leave!” After bidding farewell to the two of them, Zhou Chao sped away in his Lamborghini Veneno.

“What about you, Si Cong?”

“I’ll have to return to the club first to handle All Shui and the others. After all, they still don’t know the situation, and I’m not sure how to explain it yet!” Si Cong replied with a hint of concern.

“Hahaha, you can deal with it slowly. I’m heading back now!” Hou Ting patted Si Cong on the shoulder and got into his own supercar, speeding away. Si Cong was left alone.

“Sigh, so troublesome!” Si Cong extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into the trash bin before driving to the 1G Club.

The Bund wasn’t far from the club, just about a 20-minute drive. Si Cong arrived at the club and saw that Ah Shui and the others were playing League of Legends.

Upon seeing Si Cong, they all stood up and greeted him.

“All Shui, ROOKIE, and TheShy, come to my office for a moment. There’s something I need to discuss with you,” Si Cong said as he headed to his office. The people in the room were left in bewilderment.

However, the three players, All Shui, ROOKIE, and TheShy, quickly finished their game and entered Si Cong’s office. They saw Si Cong smoking and wearing a troubled expression.

“Boss, is there something you need from us?”

“Please, have a seat.” The three of them sat on the nearby sofa, waiting for Si Cong to speak.

After a moment of silence, Si Cong extinguished his cigarette and said, “I’ve traded you three.”

The expressions on Ah Shui and the others immediately changed. ROOKIE stood up in excitement, wanting to say something, but Ah Shui held his right hand to stop him.

“This is a deal 1 couldn’t refuse. Moreover, you’ll definitely have better prospects there than here. The other party specifically requested you three, which shows how much they value you. So, you should maintain a positive attitude and not be petty about it. Besides, you’ve already met this person.” With these words, Si Cong’s face displayed a mysterious smile.

“Alright, go out now, pack up, and tomorrow I’ll take you to the new club.” Ah Shui and the others didn’t say much. They understood that trades were a normal part of the industry, even though they couldn’t immediately accept it.

“I wonder what kind of miracles these guys can create in Zhou Chao’s hands!” Si Cong mused to himself as he watched them leave..
