Chapter 665: Please See Clearly Before Showing Off
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next day, Zhou Chao slept until ten past noon, still feeling groggy as he got out of bed.
After a quick wash, he felt much fresher.
Having slept for over ten hours, he managed to catch up on the sleep he missed yesterday, restoring himself to his best condition.
Looking at the handsome young man in the mirror, he couldn’t help but give himself full marks.
Just as he emerged from the bedroom, he heard clattering noises downstairs. Zhou Chao frowned slightly, leaning over the railing to see a shadowy figure moving in the kitchen.
“Is Ling Chen here again?” He muttered to himself, then headed downstairs.
Just as Zhou Chao was curious about who it could be, he saw Lin Wu emerge from the kitchen wearing an apron, holding a knife.

“Hey, boss, you’re up. I hope I didn’t disturb your rest!” Lin Wu said somewhat sheepishly, knowing he had been making a bit of noise in the kitchen.
“No, not at all. Why did you come over? Don’t you want to spend more time with your wife?”
Zhou Chao poured himself a glass of water, asking as he drank.
Hearing this, Lin Wu looked at Zhou Chao somewhat reproachfully, but didn’t say anything!
Zhou Chao felt a bit uneasy at the sight.
“Don’t look at me like that. You’re not going to say it’s because of me, are you?” Zhou Chao scratched his head awkwardly.
“Last night, while Li Qian and I were watching a movie, I received a call from President Ling scolding me.
He said you haven’t rested for two days straight and asked me to supervise you! So, early in the morning, I went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients!” Lin Wu said, pointing towards the kitchen where two pots were steaming.
“I won’t do it next time. Don’t worry!”
Lin Wu looked at Zhou Chao somewhat resentfully, nodded, then turned and walked back into the kitchen.
Zhou Chao smiled and followed him into the kitchen.
Looking at the boiling pots, Zhou Chao curiously asked, “Lin Wu, what are you making?”
“I’m stewing a pot of braised pork and saffron wolfberry soup. President Ling asked me to stew some tonic for you, but I didn’t have those ingredients at the time!”
“Stewing that stuff for what? My health is already top-notch!” Zhou Chao said, patting his chest. freёwebnoѵel.com
Lin Wu shook his head helplessly. Originally, today could have been a happy time for the two of them, but it was ruined.
Although he felt a bit disappointed, he couldn’t blame Zhou Chao for being his boss.
“Boss, you should rest first. I’ll cook a couple more dishes, and then we can eat!”
“Let’s cook together. We’ll finish in no time!” Zhou Chao said, starting to help.
Soon, three dishes and a soup were presented before them. They didn’t fuss too much and just served themselves some rice and started eating.
Looking at the braised pork on the table, Zhou Chao, feeling hungry, decisively picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. But a faint bitterness instantly assaulted his taste buds.
His whole face wrinkled up.
“Boss, doesn’t it taste good?” Lin Wu asked tentatively.
Zhou Chao swallowed the pork and said, “Try it yourself, and you’ll know!”
Lin Wu fed himself a piece, then immediately spat it out into the bowl. “Why is it so bitter!”
“Your caramelization turned out quite red, but it’s a bit overdone!” Zhou Chao teased with a smile.
“Boss, I didn’t expect it to be so bitter. It tasted fine when I made it!” Lin Wu said with a bitter smile.
“It’s okay. There are other dishes. Let’s just eat some of those. Later, we can go out for a walk and get some exercise.”
Lin Wu took the braised pork back to the kitchen, and they both ate the remaining dishes.
After eating, the two of them cleaned up a bit and then headed out.
The weather in Modu was clear and sunny today, with temperatures around twenty degrees Celsius, giving a comfortable feeling.
As they approached the garage, Zhou Chao saw his Bentley and Maserati parked in his spot.
“It looks like the Bentley hasn’t been washed in a while. It’s covered in dust!”
“Boss, this car hasn’t been driven much. The few sports cars you usually drive are over at Junzhou Huating. This one was brought over when we stayed here last time. It’s been a while,” Lin Wu explained hastily.
“Just drive it. Let’s go wash the car while we’re at it. Tomorrow, when we go to the office, we’ll tell them to assign it to Ling Chen as a company car!”
Zhou Chao finished speaking and got into the car. Lin Wu hurried back to his own car to get the Bentley keys.
Soon, the two of them drove out of The Palms Residence and headed straight to Lujiazui.
Near Lujiazui, they randomly picked a rather upscale-looking car wash, chose a thorough interior cleaning, handed the keys to the staff, and then left while the work was being done.
“Boss, where are we going now?”
“Let’s just stroll around. There’s nothing much to do anyway, and the weather is nice today!”
Lin Wu didn’t say anything more and followed Zhou Chao aimlessly.
Soon, they arrived at the base of the Oriental Pearl Tower and found a vacant chair to sit down.
“Ah, it’s been so long since I’ve leisurely soaked up the sun like this!”
Hearing Zhou Chao’s sigh, Lin Wu, beside him, was stunned, silently mocking in his heart: “Didn’t we just spend a few days at Lu Island and Dong’ao Island? How is that so long?”
Zhou Chao noticed Lin Wu’s expression and said, staring at him, “I feel like you’re implying something!”
