In the evening, the lights were on at the Jiang family’s house, and even Old Master Jiang, who had just returned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was there. Xiaoyang brought Old Master Yang to the Jiang family as well.
“Damn, you kid, you quietly took my granddaughter away, you’re quite something!” Old Master Yang, who had seen a lot in his military career, couldn’t contain his excitement, and various military terms slipped out of his mouth. He still hadn’t overcome this old habit of using military jargon.
“Old man Jiang, you’re no different. You let someone steal your granddaughter so easily. If 1 had known, I would have made this kid cough up some blood before letting him have his way!” Old Master Yang said, glancing at Zhou Chao, who was sitting at the end of the table.
“Hehe, Old man Yang, 1 don’t know what kind of person you are. If you had a granddaughter that bears your surname, I’m afraid you would have tied Zhou Chao up and taken him away directly. You’re acting like sour grapes!” Old Master Jiang didn’t get angry at all and had a rather smug expression.
“That’s nonsense. Jiang Li is my granddaughter too!” Old Master Yang was also in a good mood.
Among the remaining people, Jiang Youdao had already tightened his grip on his seat, afraid to draw attention to himself.
“Alright, that’s enough, let’s not talk about this since it’s a good day today. Zhou, it’s up to you to arrange everything for tonight!” Old Master Jiang decided directly, not giving anyone a chance to continue the conversation.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao stood up and walked over to make a call to Jiang Xin.
“Hello, Boss!”
“Jiang Xin, arrange a private room for about ten people tonight!”
“Boss, is it for your family or business?”
“It’s for family, once it’s arranged, send me the name of the private room!”
“Alright, Boss!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone and walked over to Jiang Li.
“Did you arrange everything?” Old Master Jiang asked.
“Yes, everything’s been arranged!”
“Then let’s go, why are we all sitting here!” Old Master Yang directly waved his hand and got up to leave.
Zhou Chao and Jiang Li also took a few steps, with Zhou Chao leading the two old masters to his Phantom. Jiang Li sat in the front passenger seat, and the others got into Xiaoyang’s car. The two cars left the Jiang family’s house.
In the meantime, Jiang Xin sent information about the private room. After about half an hour, they arrived at the hotel. As soon as they entered the lobby, Zhou Chao saw Jiang Xin sitting next to the front desk. He hadn’t expected her to personally welcome them.
Jiang Xin came over as soon as she saw Zhou Chao enter the lobby. “Boss!”
“Let’s go straight to the private room!” Old Master Yang and Old Master Jiang walked in front, and the whole group headed directly to the private room.
“Brother Yang, when will Uncle Yang arrive?”
“Don’t worry about him; he’s busy!” Old Master Yang, who was sitting at the head of the table, said directly. Zhou Chao understood that Xiao Zhong had some military matters to attend to in the army.
“Jiang Xin, please go ahead and bring in the dishes!” Jiang Xin nodded slightly at the words and then exited the private room. Three to five minutes later, the door was opened again, and the waiters carried various delicious dishes into the room.
Once the waiters left, Old Master Jiang, who was seated at the head of the table, spoke directly, “Zhou, from today onwards, you are part of our family. I won’t say much more, just know it in your heart! Well, everyone is hungry, let’s dig in!”
The entire private room was immediately filled with excitement. Old Master Yang was the most enthusiastic of all, hardly taking a break since the meal began. He didn’t even pause for his wine glass, which could hold two small shots but he couldn’t keep up with the constant refills. Eventually, Jiang Li had to intervene and take away Old Master Yang’s wine, bringing his drinking spree to an end.
“How have you been recently?” Xiaoyang sat next to Zhou Chao, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
“Not bad, everything is proceeding smoothly.”
“That’s good. If you ever need anything, just give me a call, as long as it’s not something illegal or against the rules!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle things responsibly. By the way, Brother Yang, I wanted to ask you for a favor.”
“Go ahead, don’t be shy.”
“Well, I’ve run out of cigarettes recently and was wondering if I could get some from you to smoke.”
“You cheeky kid, 1 knew you were coming to me for something. So, it’s just my cigarettes you’re after. 1 still have one in my car; I’ll give it to you later. If you run out, you can go steal some from the old man yourself!” Xiaoyang said, glancing in the direction of Old Master Yang.
“What are you looking at, Xiaoyang? Is this kid plotting something again?” Old Master Yang noticed Xiaoyang’s gaze and immediately saw that Zhou Chao and Xiaoyang were up to something.
“Grandpa, I’m reporting them. These two are scheming to get your cigarettes!” Jiang Li decisively betrayed both of them.
The whole private room erupted in laughter at everyone’s amusement.
“Zhou, if you want to smoke, just come to me. It’s more reliable than asking that brat, Xiaoyang. Got it?”
Zhou Chao quickly stood up and replied, “1 got it, Grandpa!”
The joyful time was always short-lived. This family banquet lasted until after 9 o’clock, and then everyone dispersed. Zhou Chao arranged for Jiang Xin to send the two Old Masters and the Jiang couple back home. As for Xiaoyang, he stayed at the hotel overnight, considering that going home might lead to a scolding from his old man.
After seeing them off, Zhou Chao found a designated driver. Initially, Jiang Xin wanted to drive them herself, but Zhou Chao declined her offer.
When Zhou Chao and the others returned to the courtyard, it was already 10:30 in the evening. As soon as they got home, Zhou Chao embraced Jiang Li, and the two of them sat on the sofa.
“Wife,” Zhou Chao gently stroked Jiang Li’s hair and whispered.
“Yes.”
“Having you is wonderful.” Hearing this, Jiang Li raised her head and kissed him passionately. They remained locked in a passionate kiss for a while before finally separating.
“You go upstairs and take a shower first; I need to rest a bit. I had a bit to drink today, and my head feels a bit dizzy.”
“Okay, I’ll go up first.” Jiang Li stood up from Zhou Chao’s lap, kissed his forehead, and headed upstairs.
Zhou Chao rubbed his temples and took out his phone to check the comments and messages on his social media. He received messages from Third Aunt, comments from Guo Yan, and well-wishes from several close friends. Qin Fen and others also sent messages, and there were also some messages from high-ranking executives in his company, congratulating him.
Zhou Chao replied to some of the important comments one by one. He read through the messages carefully and replied to each one. Soon, he received a few more replies, including messages from his close friends and Qin Fen. They chatted briefly, but then the conversation died down.
Zhou Chao leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to relax. However, after a while, he felt a heavy object pressing on him.
“Shoufu, are you still not asleep?”
“Meow!” Shoufu looked up at Zhou Chao with its big head, and Zhou Chao couldn’t resist scratching its head a few times.
“Oh, 1 haven’t checked the item 1 signed for this afternoon.”
Zhou Chao immediately opened the system warehouse and saw the contents of the last item slot in the system warehouse. His eyes widened in surprise.
“Ultra-precision machine tool blueprints and manufacturing process!”
