Chapter 721: The Former “Brake” Dream! (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Chao didn’t hear Lin Wu’s words. He glanced at Lin Wu beside him as he opened his eyes.
At that moment, Lin Wu came back to his senses and hastily said, “Boss, everything has been arranged. The car has been shipped to Hohhot!”
The car being shipped was none other than Zhou Chao’s super luxurious SUV, the “Karlmann King,” which had been sitting in the garage collecting dust. Originally, Zhou Chao intended to send someone to invite Yi Lao over, but later, Si Cong called and expressed a desire to go there for fun. Zhou Chao decided to personally make the trip, taking the opportunity to experience Inner Mongolia’s grassland culture.
“Alright, arrange for a direct flight to Hohhot tomorrow. Also, remember to contact Si Cong and confirm the timing!” After Zhou Chao finished speaking, he picked up the book he had been reading before.
Lin Wu nodded in response to his words, quickly stood up, grabbed his phone, and left the backyard in a hurry.
As the sky gradually darkened, Zhou Chao also returned to his senses from the sea of books. He glanced at the lights that had already been lit, stretched lazily, and headed towards the house. Just as he was about to enter, Lin Wu hurriedly emerged from the house, and the two nearly collided.
“Boss!” Lin Wu called out awkwardly.
“What’s the rush? Is something wrong?” Zhou Chao didn’t pay much attention to the previous incident and leisurely walked towards the living room with his book in hand.
With a somewhat unnatural expression, Lin Wu said, “It’s getting dark, so I just wanted to ask if you wanted to have dinner!”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao furrowed his brow slightly. Didn’t they have a nanny at home? Wasn’t there no need to cook at night?
Glancing towards the kitchen, he found it dark and empty. Zhou Chao instantly understood and turned to Lin Wu, asking, “Did you let the maids go home to rest?”
Looking at Zhou Chao’s increasingly dark expression, Lin Wu pretended to be calm and said, “Well, they haven’t had a break in a long time, so I decided to give them a 2-day vacation since you’ll be going on a long trip tomorrow.”
“Alright, Lin Wu, you’re the good guy here, and I, your boss, will bear the blame, huh? If this gets out, people might think I’m a heartless boss!” Zhou Chao said, kicking Lin Wu’s butt jokingly.
Lin Wu stepped back several steps with a smile, “Boss, I’m speaking on your behalf!”
With things having unfolded this way, Zhou Chao didn’t want to scold Lin Wu anymore. After a moment of contemplation, he said, “Let’s go, let’s eat out. You’re treating!”
Before Lin Wu could react, Zhou Chao headed towards the garage.
Regaining his senses, Lin Wu regretfully slapped himself on the face, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have done this. I was even thinking of treating the boss to a big meal tonight. Now, I don’t even know if my wallet can survive tonight!”
With a sigh, Lin Wu quickly caught up.
When they arrived at the garage, Zhou Chao was about to pick up the keys to the Lamborghini Veneno when he noticed two pink electric scooters parked in the corner. He asked with some confusion, “Where did these two electric scooters come from, and why are they parked here?”
“Boss, these are for the maids to use when they go out shopping. Originally, I planned to provide the maids with a car, but none of them know how to drive. Plus, there’s a large supermarket near the community, so I arranged for two electric scooters for them to get around!”
Putting away the keys in his hand, Zhou Chao briskly walked over to the electric scooters. After carefully inspecting them, he smiled and said, “Perfect, we’ll ride these bikes!”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Lin Wu was somewhat stunned. He glanced at the pink electric scooters and twitched his mouth, saying, “Boss, isn’t it a bit out of our style to ride these pink ones?”
Zhou Chao gave him a speechless look, grabbed a helmet from one of the electric scooters, and tossed it to Lin Wu. Then, he himself rode out of the garage on one of the pink electric scooters.
“Ah, we’ve brought this upon ourselves!” Lin Wu sighed with a bitter smile. He put on the helmet and followed Zhou Chao on the electric scooter.
As night fell, when Zhou Chao and Lin Wu rode out of the gate of Junzhou Huating on the pink electric scooters, the security guards at the entrance were somewhat stunned. They knew all the residents of the community, most of whom were worth billions. They never expected to see them riding electric scooters out, let alone pink ones!
“Team Leader, weren’t those two who just rode the bikes our community’s Young Master Zhou?”
“You have sharp eyes, indeed. It was Young Master Zhou, but I never thought this young master would have such a hobby!”
“This is the joy of the wealthy. Even riding a pink electric scooter, they still look so cool!”
The two security guards watched as Zhou Chao and Lin Wu disappeared at the end of the road on their electric scooters, their faces showing expressions of envy.
“Boss, where are we going to eat?” Lin Wu asked nervously as they stopped at a traffic light.
Seeing Lin Wu’s nervous expression, Zhou Chao teased, “Why, afraid I’ll fleece you hard and you’ll regret it a bit?”
Just as Lin Wu was about to respond, they heard the roar of engines behind them. Turning around, they saw several cool-looking motorcycles parked beside them. The riders even revved their engines a few times, the sound resonating around Zhou Chao and Lin Wu as if announcing their arrival.
Zhou Chao remained calm and glanced over, noticing that all the motorcycles were Ferrari-Ducati V4s, each accompanied by a curvaceous, beautifully dressed girl.
“Hey, buddy, your ride is quite interesting!” A young man who stopped beside Zhou Chao looked at Zhou Chao’s “steed” and chuckled.
Giving the man a slight glance, Zhou Chao smiled faintly and said, “It’s alright, far behind compared to you guys!”
The beautiful woman sitting behind the young man saw Zhou Chao’s profile and exclaimed, “Wow~ I didn’t expect him to be such a handsome guy. What a pity…”
Zhou Chao, hearing this, didn’t mind and politely nodded in greeting.
“Is he as handsome as me?” The young man said as he tapped the handbrake, and the Ducati moved forward slightly, causing the girl behind him to cling tightly to him in fear.
“Ah~ naughty~”
The girl exclaimed, and the riders around them all laughed.
At this moment, the red light turned green, and the Ducatis roared out. Lin Wu couldn’t help but sigh, “Young people nowadays really know how to have fun. If they’re not careful, accidents can happen!”
“Haven’t you heard that when a woman rides, she’s charming, and when a knight falls, there’s no cure? But speaking of which, who doesn’t have a dream of riding a motorcycle? I even thought about going to the Isle of Man to watch the TT races before, but I never had the time!”
As Zhou Chao spoke, he felt a bit nostalgic. He used to have a dream of riding a cool racing motorcycle with a beautiful girl behind him, experiencing the thrill of braking together!
Unfortunately, life is unpredictable. Being blessed with wealth and tangled in unexpected affairs, his dreams had turned into pleasures. When the weather warmed up, he could still buy a cool motorcycle to play with.
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhou Chao was brought back to reality by the sound of horns behind him. He quickly started the scooter and drove forward.
Soon, the two of them stopped at a restaurant near the roadside. Lin Wu glanced at the signboard, “Yang Yang Yang Meat Restaurant.”
“Boss, are we eating here?” Lin Wu asked, somewhat delighted.
Zhou Chao took off his helmet, tidied his hair while looking at the rearview mirror of the electric scooter, and said, “What, do you want to splurge at a Michelin three-star restaurant?”
Lin Wu chuckled awkwardly. Although he wasn’t short on money since following Zhou Chao, he didn’t have millions in his bank account. At least he had a few hundred thousand. But right now, he only had a few thousand yuan on him. Apart from sending some money back home, the rest was with his wife, Li Qian.
“Since you have bronchitis, let’s just have a simple lamb soup hot pot today!” Zhou Chao said, heading into the restaurant.
Lin Wu stood still, murmuring softly to himself, “Who said it’s bronchitis? It’s clearly loving my wife, alright!”
“Quit muttering and come in already!”
“Coming!”
