Originally intending to sleep in, Zhou Chao was awakened by the continuous sound of waves outside the window.

Lying on the sofa on the balcony, gazing at the distant sea horizon, the orange-red morning sun slowly rose from below the sea level, casting the sky in a beautiful orange-red hue.

The sea breeze brushed against his face, giving him a refreshing feeling.

“I must have been silly. I should have closed the windows last night. I wonder how I managed to fall asleep.”

Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly, realizing that he initially found the sound of the waves quite pleasant.

As time passed quietly, Zhou Chao fell asleep on the chair without realizing it, even a hint of drool escaping his lips.

“All those most touching movie plots say love can transcend life and death!”

The phone rang for about ten seconds before Zhou Chao, still drowsy, woke up and groped around the table to answer the call.

“Hello,” he said lazily, with a hint of laziness in his tone.

“Young Master Zhou, where have you been? Are you out having fun without us, bro? We’ve been knocking on your door, but there’s been no response!” Si Cong exclaimed excitedly.

“What are you talking about? Did you guys come knocking on my door?”

“The doorbell was almost ringing off the hook If you didn’t answer the phone, I was about to call the hotel to open the door.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao was stunned for a moment. Could it be that he was sleeping too soundly and didn’t hear it? That shouldn’t have happened!

“Hey, Young Master Zhou, why aren’t you saying anything now!”

Si Cong’s voice brought Zhou Chao back to reality. “I’m listening. Where are you guys now?”

“We’re at your door!”

“I’ll be right there!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone, got up, and walked towards the door.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door, Si Cong, Hou Ting, and Abdullah appeared before Zhou Chao’s eyes, with Lin Wu still standing at the door.

With a somewhat embarrassed smile, Zhou Chao stepped aside and opened the door, allowing them to enter.

As soon as they entered, Si Cong and Hou Ting started searching all over the room, murmuring, “It’s not here, and neither is that!”

Zhou Chao sat on the sofa, yawning, and looked at Si Cong and Hou Ting with a smile, “What are you looking for? Don’t tell me you think there’s a woman in my room!”

Upon hearing this, the two stopped their search and walked over to Zhou Chao.

“How could there be none? The doorbell couldn’t wake you up. Young Master Zhou, it’s obvious that you were busy late into the night!” Si Cong’s expression was full of meaning.

“That’s right. We’re old hands at this. Young Master Zhou, don’t try to hide it. Us brothers won’t rat you out to your wife!”

“We’re just curious which lady managed to captivate our Young Master Zhou!”

The more they talked, the more excited they became. Even Abdullah and Lin Wu couldn’t help but look at Zhou Chao with curiosity, feeling as if Si Cong and Hou Ting were onto something.

Zhou Chao was amused by their remarks and couldn’t help but laugh. “You guys are planning to make something out of nothing, aren’t you?”

Giving the two of them a disdainful glance, Zhou Chao continued, “I was indeed awakened by the sound of the waves outside in the morning. I watched the sunrise on the balcony for a while, and then somehow fell asleep there.”

“You two are really good at imagining things. You should consider becoming directors with your extraordinary imagination!”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s explanation, Si Cong and Hou Ting smiled awkwardly, then sat on the sofa as if nothing had happened, each playing with their phones. Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel like applauding for them.

Glancing at the time, it was only around 8:50 in the morning. “So, what’s the plan for today?”

“I already arranged everything last night. We can leave anytime,” Si Cong said proudly, tilting his head back

“In that case, what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Even Abdullah, who didn’t speak much, became enthusiastic all of a sudden.

Zhou Chao nodded at the eager trio, and they all left the room together.

As they descended the stairs, they saw Lao Piao leaning against a Mercedes-Benz, chatting with Shuyi. Shuyi was dressed in a cool outfit, with white shorts showcasing her perfect long legs.

From a distance, this scene brought to Zhou Chao’s mind the phrase “Beauty and the Beast!”

“Good morning, gentlemen!” Lao Piao greeted Zhou Chao and the others as they approached.

Shuyi also greeted them enthusiastically. Since last night, after coaxing information from Zhou Chao and Abdullah, she realized she had struck gold this time.

Being able to participate in such a high-level amusement game was something to boast about.

Zhou Chao nodded slightly and then got into the car. Abdullah followed suit, while Si Cong and Hou Ting went to another car.

Soon, the group set off towards the yacht club by the seaside.

Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window, Zhou Chao suddenly turned to Abdullah beside him and asked, “Abdullah, has the oilfield we traded for entered the production stage?”

“Your oilfield hasn’t started yet. It was only recently discovered. Why, is there a problem?” Abdullah looked at Zhou Chao with some confusion.

“No problem, I just intend to step into this area. I’m not very familiar with these things, so I want to confirm whether we can directly extract crude oil, or if we need to prepare for other procedures.”

“Just this little problem?” Abdullah said, somewhat surprised..
