The next morning, Zhou Chao and his companions arrived at the airport in the early hours.

“Boss, is this your private plane?” Todd took off his sunglasses and opened his mouth wide, looking at the Dragon Soars aircraft in amazement.

“Of course, can’t the boss afford it with his status?” Lin Wu said smugly on the side.

“Well… it’s not that, I just didn’t expect the boss’ private plane to be so huge!”

“Alright, let’s get on, it’s getting late. We can take our time once we’re on the plane.”

As soon as Zhou Chao got out of the car, he headed towards the plane, and Todd followed suit with his subordinates.

Once on board, Todd couldn’t contain his excitement as he looked around. After all, even the private planes that some of the high-ranking individuals they had once guarded didn’t compare to this one in the slightest.

It was all about luxury and extravagance.

By the time Todd had seen enough, the plane had already arrived at the Swiss airport.

As Zhou Chao and his group disembarked, they saw a line of Mercedes-Benz and a Rolls-Royce parked next to the plane.

At this moment, a very elegant middle-aged man with several bodyguards approached.

Looking at Zhou Chao, who was walking at the forefront, he called out uncertainly, “Are you Zhou?”

“Hehe, Kailin, hello!” The person who had just arrived was none other than Kailin Pullman, the current president of Radiant International.

“It’s really you, Zhou! 1 didn’t expect you to be so young and talented. I’ve already booked a hotel for you. Take a good rest for now, and tomorrow 1’11 take you to visit the company headquarters.”

Zhou Chao nodded and followed Kailin into the Rolls-Royce, while the others got into other vehicles. They left the airport in a grand procession.

In a foreign country, as long as you have money, you can freely drive in and out of the airport.

The two of them sat in the same car, and Kailin expressed his gratitude for Zhou Chao’s arrival and gave him a rough introduction of the company’s structure and current situation.

The two of them chatted all the way to the hotel.

“Zhou, should I leave two cars for you? It would be convenient for you to get around.” Zhou Chao was about to get out of the car when Kailin spoke up.

“No need, I’m not going anywhere. If 1 need a car, I’ll call you.”

“Alright!” Kailin shrugged and said.

“Kailin, see you tomorrow!” After saying that, Zhou Chao got out of the car.

Kailin and his team didn’t stay long either and drove away directly.

“Boss, I’m going to the company’s branch in Switzerland to pick up a few cars!” Todd said as soon as he entered the room.

“Go ahead!” Zhou Chao sat on the sofa and waved his hand.

Todd then left with two others, while the rest of the group went back to their respective rooms.

“Boss, do you want to eat something?”

“Sure, why not? Did you know that Switzerland is often considered a place with limited food options? I’m even contemplating preparing my own meals!”

“How about I go check if the hotel has any specialties?”

“Okay, go ahead!”

Zhou Chao contemplated for a moment and decided to let Lin Wu check it out. After all, he had woken up early in the morning and had only eaten a little, and the journey from Paris to Switzerland was not far, just about an hour or so.

“All, 1 miss hotpot and the eight major cuisines from back home!”

Lin Wu left quickly and returned soon after, carrying several paper bags.

“Boss, try this St. Gallen sausage. 1 just had one earlier, and it was really delicious!” He handed two paper bags to Zhou Chao.

“Mmm, isn’t this just like the grilled sausages back home? It’s just a bit bigger than the ones in China!” Zhou Chao said as he began to eat.

“Well, it’s really good. It’s all meat, and it has a milky fragrance. It’s better than the ones in China, which are thickened with starch. Not bad, not bad!”

In no time, Zhou Chao had finished all six sausages from the two bags and still seemed like he wanted more.

Smacking his lips a couple of times, still savoring the delicious taste from earlier, Zhou Chao asked, “What do you have there in your hand?”

“Dried beef, in large pieces, it’s pretty good. Boss, you should give it a try!”

Looking at the semi-transparent dried beef in his hand, which emitted a unique aroma, it not only had the fragrance of beef itself but also a hint of grassy scent. The more he ate, the more he craved it.

“Take some time to buy some of this dried beef, so we can try it again when we return!”

“Got it, boss!”

After eating most of the dried beef, Zhou Chao felt satisfied and headed straight to the bedroom.

“Where’s the boss?” Todd asked as he entered and saw Lin Wu sitting alone on the sofa, playing with his phone.

“He’s in the bedroom, probably asleep. Do you need something?”

“No, just asking casually.” Todd sat down.

“Who recommended this place?” It was nighttime, and Zhou Chao, along with Lin Wu and Todd, were sitting in a restaurant.

Zhou Chao looked at the hotpot placed in front of him, wearing a somewhat helpless expression.

Lin Wu silently turned his gaze to Todd beside him.

“Ahem, boss, I heard that cheese hotpot is delicious, but I didn’t expect it to be like this!” There was a small pot on the table with cheese fondue boiling inside it, and there were several pieces of bread and pickles on the table.

Zhou Chao scratched his head helplessly and picked up a long fork to dip the bread into the cheese and began eating. He also paired it with white wine, taking small bites.

The three of them finished their meal quickly, as there wasn’t much to eat.

Afterward, Zhou Chao got up and left, planning to find another restaurant where he could have a satisfying meal.

The three of them wandered around outside until 9:30 in the evening before returning to the hotel. During that time, they found a Chinese restaurant, but its flavors were more inclined towards the local cuisine. Nevertheless, Zhou Chao had a hearty meal there.

The next morning at 9:00 AM, Kailin sent a car to pick up Zhou Chao to go to the headquarters, while Todd and the others got into the Mercedes-Benz they had arranged yesterday.

The design of the headquarters of Radiant International was very artistic, with only three floors in height but incorporating ideal and artistic concepts.

The entire building had glass outer walls, surrounded by lush greenery, adding a touch of mystery. There was no excessive extravagance, only a sense of high-end refinement.

Walking into the headquarters gave a sense of fashion and precision.

Zhou Chao followed the staff into the headquarters’ meeting room, where most of the seats were already occupied. He glanced at the nameplates in front of each seat and realized that almost all the high-ranking executives of the company were present.

Kailin had specially arranged a welcome ceremony for Zhou Chao, although he didn’t particularly like such things, he had to admit that it felt quite good inside.

“Kailin, this time is enough, you don’t need to do these extravagant gestures next time. Something simpler will suffice!” Zhou Chao smiled and said to Kailin.

Kailin nodded in response to Zhou Chao’s words, making a mental note that Zhou Chao preferred things to be simpler.

The meeting started soon, and Zhou Chao mostly listened. After the high-ranking executives had reported for over an hour, Zhou Chao pinched his brow in thought.

Looking at the numerous executives, he said, “In the future, the group will continue to be managed by Kailin. Report to him for any matters. If anyone has any dirty dealings or allows bypassing of reporting channels, it will not be tolerated!”

After the meeting, the company organized a luncheon. Initially, Zhou Chao was planning to decline, but later Kailin mentioned that a renowned Chinese chef had been specially invited for the occasion, so Zhou Chao readily agreed.

After the luncheon, when Zhou Chao was preparing to return to the hotel, he was stopped by Kailin.

“Zhou, are you interested in spending a few days in Monte Carlo?”

“Monte Carlo? You mean the gambling city in Morocco?”

“Yes, besides the gambling, there are also Fl racing and tourism. It’s much more fun than Switzerland!”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao became interested, especially in the Fl race. That thrilling sensation was something any man would long for. If he could drive a lap or even watch a race, this trip would be considered a success.

“Sure, no problem. We’ll depart tomorrow!”

“Great!”

The two of them agreed on the time, and Zhou Chao got into the car to return to the hotel. Along the way, he had Lin Wu buy some Swiss specialties. When passing by a Swiss bank, he suddenly remembered the bank card in his pocket.

He spent half an hour at the Swiss bank, getting a top-tier black card and transferring all the money from his previously anonymous card into it.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Chao and his companions didn’t venture out again. After all, there wasn’t much to see in the city center, and the scenic spots were quite far away. They decided to stay at the hotel instead..
