“Bieber, handle the matter quickly. Call me if there’s anything lacking!” At this moment, the Independence of the Seas was moored on the Huangpu River, and Zhou Chao and others were standing at the disembarkation point.

“Don’t worry, boss,” Bieber assured, patting his chest.

“Good. He will send someone to set up the scene. Cooperate with them. Well, we’ll be on our way.” Zhou Chao nodded towards Li Yang and led Li Yang and a few others off the ship. Also disembarking were Li Hao and He Xin.

“Boss, take care!” Bieber waved goodbye as he watched Zhou Chao and the others disembark. Zhou Chao felt the veins in his head were about to burst as he quickly led his group ashore.

“Young Master Li, where are you going?”

“I have a place to stay in Modu. Someone will come to pick us up later.”

“Alright, then. 1 won’t see you off.” As soon as Zhou Chao and the others arrived at the parking lot, they saw Lin Wu, who had been waiting for them for a long time.

Lin Wu was standing next to a Phantom, smoking a cigarette. When he saw Zhou Chao and the others, he quickly extinguished his cigarette.

“Boss, you’re back!”

Zhou Chao nodded at the words and then turned to Li Yang and the others.

“Big Bro, Young Master Li, 1’11 be heading off.”

“Okay.”

Lin Wu quickly opened the back door, and Zhou Chao and Jiang Li got in. Lin Wu then drove the car out of the dock’s parking lot.

“Li Hao, I’m leaving too. You must definitely come to my wedding the day after tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be there for sure!” Li Yang nodded at the words, holding Shen Lan’s hand and getting into the car that had been waiting for them for a long time, leaving only Li Hao and He Xin.

“Brother Hao, how are we getting back?” He Xin looked at Li Hao with a puzzled expression on her face.

“Here they come.” He Xin saw seven or eight luxury cars entering the parking lot, and then a group of security personnel in black suits got out of the cars. “Young Master, Miss!” Li Hao nodded slightly, then took He Xin’s hand and got into the car. The motorcade quickly left the parking lot.

“Boss, are we heading back to The Palms Residence now?” Lin Wu asked Zhou Chao and Jiang Li, who looked tired.

“Yeah, let’s go back and rest.” Zhou Chao stretched his body, feeling that the solid ground was much more comfortable.

Half an hour later, the Phantom slowly entered the underground garage of The Palms Residence.

“Lin Wu, when you return, please ensure that Wang Feng heads to Peng City at the earliest convenience to inspect the ongoing semiconductor factory construction. If he has any concerns or inquiries, instruct him to contact me right away. Additionally, instruct him to locate a nearby warehouse; we’ll require it in the future,” Zhou Chao said as he accepted the luggage from Lin Wu.

“Alright, boss! I’ll arrange it immediately, and he’ll go today!”

“Okay, you handle it.” Zhou Chao waved to Lin Wu and then took his luggage, holding Jiang Li’s hand as they headed for the elevator.

“All, Brother Chao, we are finally back home. I feel so exhausted!” Jiang Li flopped down on the sofa as soon as they entered, completely ignoring any sense of girlishness.

“It’s mainly because you’re not used to life on the ship. If you stay on the ship for a while, it’ll be different.”

“You’re right.” Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully.

“Alright, don’t think about it anymore. Rest for now, and later we can go out for a stroll.” Zhou Chao pinched Jiang Li’s nose and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Don’t pinch my nose anymore. I feel like my nose is getting smaller because of you.” Jiang Li complained while standing up from the sofa.

“Okay, okay, I won’t pinch it anymore in the future!” Zhou Chao said with a smile, watching Jiang Li with a slightly playful expression.

Jiang Li snorted and headed upstairs. Zhou Chao, looking at her retreating figure, had a faint smile on his lips.

“I should find time to talk to Jiang Li about getting our marriage certificate.” Zhou Chao lay on the sofa, hugging a long pillow, lost in thought.

As his eyelids grew heavier and eventually closed, Zhou Chao drifted off to sleep on the couch.

He didn’t know how much time had passed when his phone, placed on the table, started ringing.

In a drowsy state, Zhou Chao reached for the phone and answered the call without opening his eyes. “Hello? Who is this?”

“Hmm? Are you still sleeping?” Zhou Chao recognized the incredibly familiar voice and quickly sat up, fully awake.

“Uncle Jiang, why are you calling?” Zhou Chao asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Why am 1 calling? You took my precious daughter out for a few days, and you have the nerve to ask why I’m calling?” Zhou Chao could hear the irritation in his future father-in-law’s voice, and it seemed to escalate.

“No, it’s not like that! Uncle Jiang, you’re usually very busy. Is there something important?” Zhou Chao quickly changed the subject, afraid of getting scolded.

“You nearly made me forget why 1 called you with your attitude!” Jiang Youdao sounded either genuinely angry or playfully irritated. Zhou Chao could only endure it.

“Uncle Jiang, please tell me!”

“You’ve certainly turned into quite the hands-off boss. When you manufactured that special steel, you didn’t bother to give me a call. 1 had to reach out myself. You’ve really matured! If I hadn’t been closely monitoring this situation, 1 wouldn’t have known how long you’d let it linger!” Jiang Youdao said with a mix of exasperation and pride.

Zhou Chao chuckled awkwardly. “Uncle, I was planning to call you after 1 got back. 1 didn’t expect you to be so well-informed!”

“Enough with the flattery. Everything is arranged. Regarding the special steel procurement, we’ll provide raw materials and some cash. We’ll discuss the details when the time comes. Be prepared for it!”

“I understand, Uncle,” Zhou Chao replied, getting a sense of what to expect.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

Jiang Youdao was about to hang up when Zhou Chao stopped him.

“Uncle, I want to get married to Jiang Li and register our marriage certificate.” After Zhou Chao spoke, he waited patiently for a response from the other side. It took a while before Jiang Youdao’s voice came back.

“Um, 1 understand. When you both return to Jingdu, go ahead and get it done.” After contemplating for a moment, Jiang Youdao agreed to let the two of them obtain their marriage certificate.

Zhou Chao’s face lit up with joy, and he said excitedly, “Thank you, Dad!”

“You, you! Alright, I’ll hang up now.” Jiang Youdao chuckled and hung up the phone, while Zhou Chao, still looking at the hung-up phone, pumped his fist in excitement.

After reveling in his happiness for a while, Zhou Chao refocused on business matters and immediately called Li Wei.

“Hello, boss!” The call was answered after just a couple of rings.

“There’s something 1 need to discuss with you,” Zhou Chao said and proceeded to convey Jiang Youdao’s message to Li Wei.

“You’ll handle this when the time comes. As long as it’s not a loss, a little thinner profit won’t be a problem,”

“Alright, boss, I understand.”

“Good.” Zhou Chao hung up the phone, tossed it onto the sofa, and hummed a tune as he made his way to the kitchen..
