The courtyard by the canal.

At this moment, Zhou Chao and his companions were sitting on the sofa in the backyard, drinking tea and chatting. Especially Hou Ting and Abdullah, who seemed to have an instant connection. Since they sat down, their mouths hadn’t stopped moving.

They talked about superficial topics like beautiful women, especially when Abdullah talked about women from various countries, he could go on and on.

Watching the two of them so passionate, Zhou Chao shook his head and got up, heading into the house. Inside, he saw Lin Wu sitting on the sofa, holding some documents.

Seeing Zhou Chao enter, Lin Wu quickly got up with the documents. “Boss, these are the contracts for the gold mines and the related proofs for the oil fields and mineral deposits!”

“Mm, I got it. Let’s go to the study!” Seeing the thick stack of documents, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smile. After all, it’s all about money!

The two of them went to the study, and Lin Wu placed the documents on the desk before heading to the tea table.

Zhou Chao eagerly opened the document bag, and a Swiss black card fell out. After playing with it for a moment, he set it aside.

In no time, Zhou Chao finished reading all the documents and mineral certificates. There were two oil fields, sixteen mines in total, including four large iron mines and three large copper mines. The rest were some relatively rare metal mines, but they were all medium and small-sized mines.

Based on the data reports from each mine and the current market prices, Zhou Chao roughly calculated that the total value was nearly 300 billion US dollars, especially with the two oil fields accounting for most of it.

“Boss, there’s 1 trillion US dollars in this black card. It’s a fifty-fifty split from the camel and the bear.” Lin Wu explained after placing the tea cup next to Zhou Chao’s right hand.

Zhou Chao nodded lightly, put all the documents back into the bag, then looked up at Lin Wu and asked, “What’s the meaning behind this from Mr. Wang? Did he give you any hints?”

Lin Wu gently shook his head. “Boss, you know how important this is. How could Mr. Wang tell me? I think he’ll come to you personally later.”

“During the days I was away, did anything else happen?” Zhou Chao wanted to clarify these matters to avoid being blamed later without even knowing.

“There wasn’t anything else. It’s just that based on these negotiations, Wang Lao, Saudi, and Russia reached some resource and strategic cooperation agreements on their end!”

“Oh-” Zhou Chao was somewhat puzzled. These matters unexpectedly didn’t bypass Lin Wu, instead, he was made aware of them. It seems like they see him as one of their own.

Although not particularly significant cooperation, it still reflects the attitude of the higher-ups towards Zhou Chao and his subordinates.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chao got up and placed the document bag into the safe in the study. As for the Swiss black card, Zhou Chao put it in his pocket, discreetly stashing it away in the warehouse where Lin Wu couldn’t see. Once done with these tasks, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu walked out of the study. Just as they reached downstairs, they saw Hou Ting leading two people walking in from the front yard.

“Oh, why did you come to Jingdu!” The person was none other than Si Cong, accompanied by a beautiful girl. Zhou Chao was somewhat surprised and deliberately took a glance.

“If I’m not proactive, all the benefits will be taken by this dog, Hou Ting!” Si Cong said somewhat proudly. He had clung tightly to Zhou Chao’s thigh. When encountering such good things, how could he not be proactive?

Hou Ting, hearing this, was speechless. In her heart, she thought, “If only I hadn’t shown off, all the benefits would be mine!”

“Alright, stop fooling around!” Zhou Chao glanced at the playful Si Cong and walked towards the backyard.

Hou Ting quickly followed suit, and Si Cong, after taking a few steps, turned back to instruct his female companion about something before quickly heading towards the backyard.

The beautiful woman who followed Si Cong was also very self-aware. She sat down on the sofa, holding her bag, and curiously glanced around the interior of the house, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

Meanwhile, in the backyard, Zhou Chao and the others started chatting. What surprised Zhou Chao was that Abdullah had actually heard of Si Cong’s name. But thinking about it, it made sense; after all, Si Cong was quite a prominent figure in China.

Si Cong and Abdullah were actually quite similar. They were surrounded by groups of beautiful women. Although Si Cong’s capital wasn’t as abundant as Abdullah’s, they were both fun-loving individuals.

The three of them quickly got into a lively conversation. From cars to beautiful women, Abdullah and the others were chatting enthusiastically, while Zhou Chao sat quietly, occasionally taking a sip of tea.

Abdullah looked at Zhou Chao sitting silently on the side and couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental. “Zhou, it’s a pity. If you hadn’t married so early, we could have traveled the world together, experiencing the joys of different cultures!” Zhou Chao shook his head lightly at the words, setting down his teacup with a faint smile on his lips. “No, Abdullah. It’s just that you haven’t met someone who can make you settle down. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have said that. Besides, I’m about to become a father. This feeling is something you can’t understand.”

Upon hearing this, Abdullah and Si Cong exchanged knowing looks, silently acknowledging Zhou Chao’s situation. After all, with their status, sometimes they couldn’t make decisions about marriage on their own..
