As Zhou Naifu finished speaking, he bowed deeply in front of everyone, showing his respect to Manager Chen.

Zhou Chao never expected his first uncle to do such a thing. After so many years without contact, he hadn’t imagined that his first uncle would still be thinking of him and even introducing him to important people. Even Zhou Chao, who had experienced ups and downs, felt a twinge of emotion.

Little did Zhou Chao know, his first uncle and Manager Chen were meeting for the first time. Despite not fully understanding each other’s backgrounds, Zhou Naifu took the risk of introducing himself to Manager Chen, hoping for his support. Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel touched.

Meanwhile, Manager Chen was bewildered. He hadn’t expected Zhou Chao’s uncle to promote him like this. This sudden gesture was way beyond his expectations.

He wanted to explain himself, but he remembered Zhou Chao’s warning earlier. Caught in a dilemma, he stood there speechless.

“Why are you still standing there?” Zhou Naifu gently nudged Zhou Chao’s arm, signaling him to step forward and greet Manager Chen.

Zhou Chao didn’t decline his uncle’s goodwill. With a smile, he took a step forward and said, “Thank you, Manager Chen, for your support in the future.” “It’s my pleasure,” Manager Chen replied, somewhat surprised. He shook hands with Zhou Chao, feeling rejuvenated.

Manager Chen’s attitude surprised Manager Yang and the others who were with him. They had come in a hurry, not fully understanding the situation. They only knew that Si Cong had personally called them to attend Zhou’s birthday celebration, and they were clueless about the rest.

During the journey, Manager Yang tried to get some information out of Manager Chen, but to no avail. He had kept his mouth shut tight. Now faced with this enthusiastic young man, Manager Yang found the situation a bit unpredictable.

“First Uncle, Manager Chen, please continue your conversation. I have something to attend to, so I won’t disturb you,” Zhou Chao said, nodding slightly before heading upstairs.

“Ah, Xiao Chao… This child really doesn’t know how to seize opportunities,” Zhou Naifu sighed as he watched Zhou Chao leave.

Turning back to Manager Chen and the others, Zhou Naifu apologized, “I’m sorry for the behavior of this child. I hope you don’t mind, Manager Chen.” Manager Chen quickly reassured him that it was no problem. But secretly, he thought, “Mind? How could I? If I really minded, I might lose my position to Lao Yang tomorrow, or at most, by tonight!”

Meanwhile, as Zhou Chao went upstairs, he saw Jiang Li sitting alone in the pavilion, playing with her phone and occasionally laughing. Zhou Chao quietly approached her and found her chatting happily in a group of four.

Glancing over, Zhou Chao recognized two of the women as Li Yang’s wife, Shen Lan, and Lei Zi’s wife, Zhou Qian. But he couldn’t figure out who the third person was.

“Why are they all together and having such a good time?” As Zhou Chao watched intently, Jiang Li turned her head and caught him looking.

“Brother Chao, what are you sneaking a peek at? Haha, when did you learn to eavesdrop?” Jiang Li covered her phone and teased Zhou Chao playfully.

Zhou Chao pretended to be aggrieved. “Who’s eavesdropping? I’m just openly observing. Well, you were so engrossed in your chat that you didn’t notice me. How can you blame me for that?”

“Hmph!” Unable to argue with Zhou Chao, Jiang Li snorted and resumed her conversation.

Approaching Jiang Li, Zhou Chao leaned in and whispered, “What are you all chatting about so happily?”

“Oh, you don’t know about this, Brother Chao.” Jiang Li teased.

Zhou Chao leaned down and kissed Jiang Li on the lips, then finally let her go after a while. With a mischievous smile, he said, “Now you have to tell me.” Blushing slightly, Jiang Li lightly scolded him, “Can’t you be more serious? Alright, I’ll tell you. The third person is Zou Rui, your third brother’s wife.” “Zou Rui?” Zhou Chao suddenly realized. After all, Shen Lan and Zou Rui were good friends. It was through Zou Rui that his eldest brother had met Shen Lan. He could even consider himself half a matchmaker in this scenario.

“The third brother’s child must be a few months old by now. Are you all planning to seek advice from Zou Rui?”

“Well, it’s better than blindly groping in the dark.” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

“Oh, by the way, Brother Chao, take a look at this!” Jiang Li searched through her phone for a moment and then handed it to Zhou Chao.

“What is it?” Zhou Chao asked as he took the phone from Jiang Li’s hand.

Looking closely, he saw a photo of a baby, adorable and chubby-cheeked.

“This is the third brother’s child. Considering how serious he usually is, it’s surprising that he could produce such a cute baby. It seems that Zou Rui’s genes are quite strong!”

“Tsk!” Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him. She had seen photos of Xu Wenzheng, the third brother. Zou Rui often posted affectionate pictures of them on social media. Xu Wenzheng was a typical northern man, not much different from Zhou Chao, and could be considered handsome.

Just then, Zhou Hao hurriedly approached. “Big Brother, Dad wants to see you downstairs.”

“What’s going on?” Zhou Chao turned to look at Zhou Hao, who was standing at the staircase.

“Manager Chen and the others are preparing to leave for Modu. Dad wants you to see them off. Since you didn’t want me to explain, I had to come up here and get you.”

Understanding his uncle’s intentions, Zhou Chao nodded. He briefly explained the situation to Jiang Li and followed Zhou Hao downstairs.

Their uncle and the others were standing by the roadside, talking to Manager Chen and his group.. When they saw Zhou Chao and Zhou Hao coming out of the door, they quickly called out, “Hurry up and come over here, don’t dawdle!”
