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

Chapter 755: Settling Down! (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As for what kind of benefits, Zhou Chao wasn’t sure, but he did put forward his own request – he needed a piece of land to build his dream.

When it came to Zhou Chao’s request, Old Master Jiang didn’t hesitate to agree. After all, Zhou Chao was the biggest contributor. What was a little land to him?

“Brother Chao, what were you and Dad talking about in the study last night? You two were up late. Did you come up with another brilliant idea?” Jiang Li asked with curiosity. She was aware of many of Zhou Chao’s secrets.

“You’ll find out soon enough. It’s not the time to reveal it yet. Hurry up and eat. Once we’re done, let’s get going. Third Aunt and the others are already on the plane,” Zhou Chao teased, looking at Jiang Li.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li quickly finished the last two bites of her breakfast and headed towards her bedroom, saying, “Wait for me ten minutes!”

After finishing breakfast, Zhou Chao dutifully cleaned up the dishes. When he was done washing up and came out of the kitchen, Jiang Li had already changed into her clothes and was coming downstairs from upstairs.

Wearing loose maternity clothes with a long pink down jacket, white woolen trousers, and a pair of white Martin boots, Jiang Li gave off a fresh and youthful vibe.

“Let’s go!” Zhou Chao extended his right hand, and Jiang Li happily linked hers with his.

Seeing their actions, Mother Jiang shook her head with a smile. “Youth is truly wonderful!”

By the time they reached Jingdu Airport, it was already ten in the morning. The whole journey had been full of traffic jams. It seemed they hadn’t consulted the almanac before leaving in the morning.

“Boss, Ah Li, good morning!”

As soon as Zhou Chao parked the car in the airport parking lot, Lin Wu walked towards them with a rectangular object in his hand.

“Yeah, when is the plane arriving?” Zhou Chao inquired after looking at the time and making a rough estimate.

Nodding, Zhou Chao’s attention was also drawn to the rectangular object in Lin Wu’s hand.

“What’s that you’re holding?”

“It’s a pick-up sign that can display names. It will definitely be the shiniest one in the crowd when they come out. They’ll be able to spot it at a glance,” Lin Wu explained as he switched on the power, and the colorful light strips began to flicker.

Seeing this, Zhou Chao’s eyes twitched at the corners. Even Jiang Li, beside him, couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Zhou Chao also knew this was a good thing, despite being a bit embarrassed. But it was practical to use.

“Alright, let’s go and wait at the exit gate.” Not dwelling on the matter of the pick-up sign, Zhou Chao took Jiang Li’s hand and headed towards the elevator.

After hastily turning off the power, Lin Wu followed suit.

“Is this the exit gate? It’s been several minutes already, and no one has come out yet. Is there something holding them up?” Zhou Chao asked with some confusion.

“Boss, this is indeed the exit gate. I already investigated beforehand. Maybe something delayed them!” Lin Wu speculated.

As soon as Lin Wu finished speaking, they began to see people gradually coming out of the exit gate. Lin Wu quickly opened the pick-up sign and held it high in the air. In an instant, he became the focus of the crowd.

Without changing their expressions, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li moved a little to the side.

In less than a minute, Third Aunt and Uncle walked out of the exit gate with their suitcases. Third Aunt seemed a bit angry, constantly lecturing Uncle, but they were too far away for Zhou Chao to hear what she was saying.

“Third Aunt, Uncle!” Jiang Li leaned against the railing and called out loudly, waving her hand.

Whether it was Jiang Li’s voice or Lin Wu’s dazzling pick-up sign, Third Aunt and Uncle turned their gaze over.

When they saw Jiang Li and Zhou Chao, Third Aunt’s initially angry expression turned into a smile. She tossed her luggage to Uncle and quickly ran over to them.

“Xiao Li, why did you come to the airport? You should have stayed at home and rested properly. Leave this kind of thing to Xiao Chao. Xiao Chao, you’re not at all sensible!”

It’s said that women are masters of changing expressions, and Zhou Chao truly understood it this time.

Third Aunt’s words caused her expression to change several times, from seeing Jiang Li’s joy, to Zhou Chao’s reproach, and finally to seeing Jiang Li’s belly, which made her happy. All these changes happened in just a few seconds.

“Uncle, give me the luggage, I’ll take it!” Lin Wu also put away the pick-up sign and quickly came to Guo’s side.

“Xiao Lin, it’s okay, I can handle it myself!”

“How can it be okay? If you have to do it yourself, Boss will surely skin me alive when he gets back!”

Third Uncle understood Lin Wu’s responsibilities and didn’t make a fuss. He simply handed the suitcase to Lin Wu and chatted with him.

A rather awkward scene unfolded on the scene. Jiang Li and Third Aunt walked hand in hand in front, while Lin Wu walked behind with Third Uncle, chatting. Only Zhou Chao walked in the middle. He had initially wanted to join in the conversation, but a single glance from Third Aunt stopped him.

“Sigh, the treatment suddenly dropped several levels!” Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly.

Arriving at the garage, Jiang Li pulled Third Aunt into Zhou Chao’s car, while Third Uncle got into the car Lin Wu was driving.

On the way home, Zhou Chao felt like there were hundreds of ducks constantly quacking in his ears. Several times, he reached out to raise the privacy partition of the Rolls-Royce, but thinking of the consequences, he eventually refrained from doing so.
