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

Chapter 722: Preaching!

“Mm, boss, I didn’t expect the craftsmanship of this lamb restaurant to be quite good. It’s on par with those upscale restaurants we’ve been to before!” Lin Wu savored a bowl of lamb soup delicately.

“It’s indeed good. They use Suining sheep from Ximeng, known as the ‘ginseng of meat.’ Looks like this lamb soup hot pot isn’t cheap!” As a culinary expert, Zhou Chao could tell what ingredients were used with just one taste.

Hearing this, Lin Wu’s smile froze on his face. He picked up his phone, checked his balance, and quietly sent a message to his wife, completely unaware that his actions were observed by Zhou Chao.

Shaking his head with a smile, he continued to eat the lamb.

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

Just as he had taken a few bites, Zhou Chao’s phone rang, and he noticed it was from Si Cong.

“Si Cong, what’s up?”

“Nothing much, just asking if you’ve eaten. Want to have a meal together!”

“I’ve just started eating. Do you want to come? We’re having lamb head soup hot pot!”

“Send me the address!” After saying that, Si Cong hung up. Zhou Chao looked at his phone feeling a bit puzzled, shook his head, and didn’t think much about it.

It was a hurried call, both coming and going!

Lin Wu whispered, “Boss, is Si Cong coming for dinner?”

Zhou Chao nodded softly, sent the location to Si Cong, and then looked at Lin Wu with a smile, saying, “What, not enough money in your pocket?”

“It’s definitely enough! How could it not be enough? Even if there were six or seven more people, it wouldn’t be a problem!” Lin Wu patted his chest confidently, sounding just like a rich man.

If Zhou Chao hadn’t known that his wife had transferred some money to him just now, he might have actually believed him.

Zhou Chao looked meaningfully at Lin Wu and then continued to eat with a smile.

“Oh, it’s you guys! Didn’t expect to meet you here. What a coincidence!” A somewhat familiar voice sounded from the side.

Zhou Chao and Lin Wu looked over and saw the “biker friends” they had encountered on the road before!

“Indeed, quite a coincidence!” Zhou Chao hadn’t expected to meet them again. He carefully observed them and noticed that their attire wasn’t simple. They were all wearing international brands. It seemed they were a group of wealthy second-generation.

But considering it, some wealthy second-generation indeed liked pursuing various thrills.

The young man didn’t say much, just nodded at Zhou Chao and Lin Wu before following the waiter into the private room.

Si Cong arrived quickly, not making Zhou Chao and Lin Wu wait long. Along with him were Qin Fen and Zhang Wenxuan, whom they hadn’t seen for a long time.

“Hey, why are you three here together? Qin Fen, what have you been busy with lately? Haven’t seen you out for a while!” Zhou Chao held a cup of tea, casually asking as he glanced at them.

Lin Wu also stood up at this time, gesturing to the waiter to add a few more sets of tableware.

Qin Fen sighed deeply at Zhou Chao’s words, “Don’t mention it. Something happened before, and I had to stay abroad for a while.”

As everyone took their seats, Lin Wu returned with fresh lamb meat and some more tableware, while the waiter brought some more dishes.

Zhou Chao looked at Qin Fen with some confusion, wondering what had happened to make this young master of Modu stay abroad for some time.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s confusion, Si Cong, who was sitting beside him, spoke up, “Young Master Zhou, there was an incident with Qin Fen’s company a while back, causing quite a stir online. It only settled down recently.”

Si Cong and Zhang Wenxuan briefly explained the situation.

“Oh.” Zhou Chao nodded lightly and didn’t continue to inquire further.

“Everyone, try it. The lamb at this restaurant is quite good. Didn’t expect to find such good lamb in this kind of eatery.”

Si Cong and the others didn’t hesitate either. They each picked up their chopsticks and started eating. They also began chatting, sharing interesting things they had encountered recently.

After three rounds of drinks and tasting various dishes, the group had been eating for almost two hours, and Lin Wu was feeling a bit distressed.

“Indeed, it’s really comfortable. This restaurant’s lamb is delicious, it feels like the taste of the grasslands!” After handing out cigarettes to everyone, Si Cong leaned back in his chair and sighed.

Speaking of the grasslands, Zhou Chao hadn’t personally visited them yet, not even in his previous life. After all, as a cowherd, there was hardly any time for traveling.

After the meal, a cigarette felt like a refreshment, and Zhou Chao began puffing away.

“Lin Wu told you the time, right? Don’t be late tomorrow. Time waits for no one, don’t blame me if I don’t wait for you!”

Si Cong nodded quickly, “Rest assured, Young Master Zhou, I definitely won’t be late tomorrow.”

Hearing their conversation, Zhang Wenxuan and Qin Fen looked curious. Finally, Zhang Wenxuan spoke up, “Brother Chao, what are you and Si Cong up to? Not planning something big again, are you?”

As soon as big plans were mentioned, Qin Fen straightened up, his eyes eagerly fixed on Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao noticed Qin Fen’s expression but just smiled lightly and replied calmly, “What big plans? Si Cong and I are just planning to go play in Hohhot. Are you two interested?”

Qin Fen and Zhang Wenxuan both flashed a hint of disappointment in their eyes at the mention of just going to play, but it was fleeting, yet Zhou Chao caught it.

“Zhou Chao, let’s just forget about going out to play. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the company recently, and we’re all swamped,” Qin Fen said with a wry smile.
