“That won’t do! You’re the big financier here in Fuzhou. How could we let you treat us to a meal? Let me handle it. I have enough in my own pocket!” Wang Rui decisively intervened, setting the tone firmly.

Seeing Wang Rui’s expression, Zhou Chao understood it was a dilemma. He decided to go along with Wang Rui’s arrangement!

“Lao Wang, you still have your own stash of money? Be careful, or I’ll report you to your wife!” Nu Xin teased Wang Rui.

“Get out of here!” Wang Rui retorted in a slightly annoyed tone, knowing that Nu Xin was trying to upstage him.

At that moment, Wang Rui’s secretary, Xiao Liu, entered with several contracts, respectfully handing them over to Wang Rui.

“Mr. Zhou, take a look at these contracts. We’ll have to inconvenience you today; we can’t hold a press conference,” Wang Rui said, passing the contracts to Zhou Chao.

“Ah, those are just formalities. I don’t like those kinds of occasions anyway!” Zhou Chao said, glancing over the contracts as he spoke.

Quickly scanning through, Zhou Chao completed all the required fields and signed his name at the bottom without hesitation.

“Secretary Wang, take a look and see if there are any issues. If not, I’ll transfer the money to your accounts directly!”

With three copies of the contract, Wang Rui and Nu Xin each took one to review. It took them about three minutes to finish reading through.

“No issues, let’s seal the deal immediately!” Wang Rui handed the contracts to his secretary, Xiao Liu.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao manipulated his phone, swiftly transferring the sum of ten million yuan to their account.

“The money’s been transferred. You can verify it,” Zhou Chao said, showing them the transfer record.

Wang Rui waved his hand confidently, saying, “No need to make a call to check. I trust Mr. Zhou’s integrity. Let’s go. We’ll head to dinner first!”

The group then left the office. Wang Rui walked at the rear, ostensibly instructing his secretary to tidy up the office, but in reality, he wanted to ensure that the funds had indeed been transferred.

Soon, they arrived at the Fuzhou Grand Hotel. Led by the lobby manager, they were ushered into a private room.

As soon as they were seated, the waitstaff began serving dishes. Zhou Chao glanced around; it seemed Wang Rui had arranged this in advance. Otherwise, the speed of the service was remarkably fast.

Course after course of seemingly exquisite dishes appeared before Zhou Chao. He took a brief look and found them similar to what he had eaten with his classmates before. It was one of the best set meals the Fuzhou restaurant offered.

“Mr. Zhou, please don’t mind. The Fuzhou Grand Hotel is the best we have here,” Wang Rui said apologetically.

Zhou Chao shook his head lightly at the words. “You shouldn’t say that. I don’t mind at all. As long as it fills my stomach!”

“Of course, of course. Let’s eat, Mr. Zhou!”

“Please!”

And with that, everyone began to eat. In this type of business dinner, especially during the holiday, drinking was inevitable. Starting with Wang Rui, Zhou Chao drank about half a jin of liquor, showing no change in his demeanor, which surprised Nu Xin.

The dinner lasted for about an hour and a half, and Wang Rui and Nu Xin were both flushed from drinking.

Outside the Fuzhou Grand Hotel, “Secretary Wang, Manager Nu, I’ll head back first. I’ll arrange for someone to follow up on the land purchase and factory construction as soon as possible.”

“Alright, looking forward to good news from Mr. Zhou!” Wang Rui grinned.

‘Til take my leave then!” Zhou Chao said, boarding the car that had been waiting for him for quite some time and swiftly merging into the traffic.

Watching Zhou Chao and his group depart, the four who had been slightly intoxicated were suddenly much more sober. Especially Wang Rui – aside from a hint of alcohol on his breath and his flushed face, he showed no signs of being drunk. His eyes were exceptionally sharp.

“Lao Wang, what do you think this guy’s background is? He didn’t reveal anything useful at the dinner table!” Nu Xin walked up to Wang Rui and said seriously.

“I don’t know either, but from what I gathered initially, Mr. Zhou should be a native of Fuzhou. We’ll find out after some investigation. I suppose he’s just a passionate young man giving back to his hometown!”

“Then let’s go back to the compound now. I feel uneasy without investigating thoroughly. After all, he’s too young, and he seems a bit unreliable. Have you looked into the Dragonfly Group? Is he its owner?”

“I only did a quick investigation of Dragonfly Group’s strength. I’m not entirely sure if he’s involved. Anyway, let’s go back and check!”

The group then boarded the hotel’s shuttle, which took them directly back to the compound!

Back at the compound, they gathered in Wang Rui’s office. Assistant Xiao Liu handed a contract to Wang Rui, which included Zhou Chao’s ID number.

Wang Rui adeptly opened the internal system, entered Zhou Chao’s identity information, glanced at Nu Xin beside him, and lightly pressed the enter key.

A second later, the webpage refreshed, and on the blank page were two words – Top Secret!

“Oh no!” The expressions of Wang Rui and the others froze instantly. They never expected such a result..
