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

Chapter 769: Don’t Panic! Imagination Is the Most Deadly!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The next day, Zhou Chao woke up rather late, mainly because he had chatted with Jiang Li about the baby’s future until around one in the morning.

“I didn’t expect it to snow all night. Aunt Kuang, please tidy up the snow in the yard later. If you need help, just call Lin Wu!”

Zhou Chao enjoyed his breakfast while admiring the snowy scenery in the yard. The pavilions and terraces in the front yard were already covered with snow, presenting a unique winter beauty to the whole yard.

“Brother Chao, didn’t you say you had something to do today?”

Jiang Li came down from upstairs, seeing Zhou Chao still having breakfast, she asked with some confusion.

“No rush, someone will come to pick me up later!”

As Zhou Chao spoke, the doorbell rang.

Lin Wu, who was eating breakfast beside him, put down his chopsticks and hurried to the door.

Passing through the front yard, perhaps due to the snow or Lin Wu’s fast pace, he slipped and fell backward.

Luckily, he quickly grabbed the stone railing beside him, avoiding any serious injuries, just a moment of embarrassment!

From being tense at first to finally sighing in relief, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li’s expressions changed as they watched.

When Lin Wu got up from the ground, he felt embarrassed under Zhou Chao’s and Jiang Li’s gaze, scratching his head awkwardly.

“Oh, I’m so embarrassed! Making such a big fool of myself in front of the boss. I wish I could dig a hole and bury myself!”

Covering his face, Lin Wu hurried to the front door.

As he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a black coat standing straight at the door, with a not-too-big red flag on the chest of the coat, faintly visible with the words “Internal Guard” underneath.

“Hello, is Mr. Zhou Chao here? I’m here to pick him up!”

The man’s strong and powerful voice brought Lin Wu’s wandering thoughts back.

“Just wait a moment. The boss is having breakfast now. Would you like to come in and sit for a while?”

Although Lin Wu didn’t know who the boss was looking for, he understood that the visitor must be someone important judging from his attire.

No one had told Jiang Li about meeting Number One. Zhou Chao only mentioned meeting an important person, and she wasn’t clear about who it was, even though she was Jiang Li.

If Lin Wu knew that this was the boss’s bodyguard, he probably wouldn’t have this attitude now.

The middle-aged man glanced at his watch and found that it was still ten minutes before nine o’clock. He remembered the leader’s instructions earlier and nodded.

“I won’t come in. I’ll wait here!”

Seeing the man’s solemn expression, Lin Wu didn’t try to persuade him further. He knew his persuasion would be of no use, after all, the enforcement power of the internal guards was extremely strict.

Zhou Chao didn’t let the man wait long. After chatting with Lin Wu for three or four minutes, he saw Zhou Chao coming out.

“Sorry to keep you waiting!”

“No problem, Mr. Zhou Chao. I got here early!” It seemed like the man’s demeanor had shifted, likely because he either knew Zhou Chao’s status or had received specific instructions, leading him to show more respect.

“Then let’s go!”

After Zhou Chao finished speaking, he turned to Lin Wu beside him and said, “Since it’s snowing today, there’s no need to go out. Just stay at home and help Aunt Kuang tidy up the yard.”

“Okay, boss!”

Zhou Chao nodded, then walked out with the middle-aged man.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, they saw a black Red Flag car approaching. Zhou Chao sat straight in without hesitation, ignoring Lin Wu’s shocked expression.

Soon, the car merged into the traffic amidst the falling snow.

Lin Wu swallowed hard, finding it hard to believe his eyes. He rubbed them vigorously and even slapped his own face, feeling the pain before murmuring to himself, “If I didn’t see it wrong just now, the license plate number seems to be 01!”

After saying this, Lin Wu nervously looked around but didn’t find anything unusual, so he quickly closed the door.

When he returned to the house, Lin Wu’s legs seemed to be trembling slightly, whether from the fall just now or the shock of the license plate.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Zhou Chao.

At this moment, Zhou Chao was examining the car he was sitting in. After looking at it for a while, he thought it was quite good.

Zhou Chao also noticed that this car seemed to be specially designed, with thick windows that felt like bulletproof glass.

“This car is really nice. If I have the chance, I’ll get one too!” Zhou Chao’s eyes flashed with excitement.

Unexpectedly, the man in the passenger seat heard this and turned to Zhou Chao, saying, “If Mr. Zhou likes it, I can help you contact them later. However, there are only seven customized models of this car in the country!”

“Hmm?” Zhou Chao’s eyes showed a hint of curiosity.

From the man’s words, Zhou Chao also inferred a lot of information. It seemed that the man’s identity was not simple!

“I wonder what’s your name, brother?” Zhou Chao smirked slightly, looking at the middle-aged man with a faint smile.

The man also showed a smile, “My name is Xu Zhengyang!”

After saying this, Xu Zhengyang turned back without giving Zhou Chao a chance to respond.

Zhou Chao remained calm, tapping his fingers rhythmically on his knee. His mind was filled with various thoughts!

Just from their brief conversation, Zhou Chao gathered enough information to be utterly shocked.
