As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

Chapter 648: What Exactly Is His Origin!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

About a kilometer away from the Hilton Hotel was the renowned No. 5 Villa Resort Hotel in Lu City.

Villa No. 18 of the resort, at this moment, a group of young people were sitting on the open-air balcony, leisurely basking in the sun and chatting.

If Zhou Chao were here, he would recognize several among the seven or eight people sitting there, and there would be some lingering grudges between them.

Liu Xu, Wang Hao, and his younger brother Wang Xun were among them, with Liu Xu seemingly taking the lead.

“Liu, didn’t we agree to go to the bar last night? How come it was suddenly canceled? I even ditched two pretty girls for that, only to be told it’s off before I even got there,” Wang Hao asked with a gentle swaying of his wine glass.

“Ah, don’t mention it. It’s better not to talk about it. I’m still annoyed about it. I was looking forward to having a good time last night, but then I ran into some bad luck,” Liu Xu said, the gloom on his face deepening as he recalled the events of last night.

Hearing this, the other young gentlemen at the table became interested, looking at Liu Xu and asking, “Young Master Liu, is there anyone back home who dares to disrespect you?”

“It’s hard to say for sure. The other party’s identity isn’t inferior to mine, and Si Cong was also there at the time, so I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it,” Liu Xu said, certainly not intending to reveal the true story, lest he lose face.

If word got out that the young master of the Liu family was groveling last night, he’d probably lose all his diginity in the country.

As he said this, Liu Xu thought of the message Chen Feng sent him last night. If he could really establish a relationship with Abdullah, his development overseas would be much smoother.

After all, Saudi Arabia’s face was still quite useful in the world, and in many countries, they were considered VIPs. If he could get on this line, he wouldn’t have to worry about hitting walls everywhere in the future.

As Liu Xu sank into contemplation, Wang Hao and the others quieted down, drinking or playing with their phones.

At that moment, as Liu Xu was still daydreaming about the future with Abdullah, a deep voice brought him back to reality.

“Boss, there’s a bit of a problem with what you asked me to do.”

Liu Xu, coming back to his senses, looked at Chen Feng, who had appeared next to him at some point, and furrowed his brow slightly. “What’s the problem?”

“It’s about that guy you asked me to investigate, Zhou Chao. There’s no information on him at all, not even online. It’s like he’s a blank slate.” “What? How is that possible? No information at all?”

Liu Xu’s expression changed slightly. After all, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. There should be some relevant information online, and he had even used some other means, but to no avail.

Chen Feng nodded, confirming that there was indeed no useful information.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xu waved his hand lightly, indicating for Chen Feng to leave first.

Once Chen Feng left, Wang Hao, who had been curious for a while, spoke up, “Young Master Liu, what’s going on? Tell us, maybe we can help.”

“Young Master Liu, just spill it. Maybe we can lend a hand,” another young man chimed in.

“Yeah, tell us. We might just have the resources you need!”

Several young gentlemen said one after another.

Liu Xu looked at the excited crowd and felt a sense of satisfaction. He thought he was doing a good job as the leader of the group. After a moment of contemplation, he decided to reveal the situation.

“It’s actually not a big deal. I sent someone to investigate a guy named Zhou Chao, but there’s no information about him whatsoever.”

As soon as the name Zhou Chao was mentioned, everyone except the Wang brothers fell into contemplation.

“I’ve never heard of Zhou Chao. Young Master Liu, is he also from a wealthy family?” a local second-generation member of the Deer City asked in confusion.

“I have no impression of this name at all. If he’s really someone noteworthy in China, we would have heard something about him.”

For a moment, the terrace was abuzz with discussion, but no one knew anything about Zhou Chao’s background.

At this moment, Liu Xu also noticed the unusual expression on the faces of the Wang brothers and wondered, “Could it be that the Wang brothers know something about Zhou Chao’s background?”

Turning his gaze to Wang Hao, he asked, “Wang Hao, why aren’t you saying anything? Do you happen to know something about Zhou Chao?”

“I wish someone would just beat him to death right now,” before Wang Hao could speak, Wang Xun beside him gritted his teeth and said.

Wang Hao looked at Wang Xun beside him, sighed deeply, glanced at everyone, and then slowly said, “Zhou Chao is my college classmate. I’m not very sure about his family background, but I do know that he lives in Modu and has a close relationship with the second-generation Li from the Li family in Modu. Besides, he also owns a company in Modu, and you might have heard of it.” “We’ve heard of it? Wang Hao, stop teasing us and just spill it!” a rich second-generation beside them urged eagerly.

Speaking halfway is the most tantalizing.

Wang Hao wore a wry smile, took a sip of his wine, and then slowly said, “Dragonfly Group. It’s the company that, in less than two years, successfully entered the top 500 companies in China, with industries spanning dozens of sectors. It has over five hundred wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, not to mention joint ventures and investments.. As for its current strength, no one knows for sure!”
