“Boss, shall we go for a stroll in Xinjiekou this afternoon?”

No, not for now. You go and buy a car this afternoon, and I’ll take care of something.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wu was a bit surprised but quickly responded, “Boss, you want me to buy a car by myself?”

“What… is there a problem?” Zhou Chao looked at him and asked.

“No problem, it’s just that I don’t know what kind of car to buy. What if 1 buy an expensive one?”

“If it’s expensive, so be it. How much more expensive can it be? Go with confidence; you’ve bought one before, it’s settled!”

Seeing that Zhou Chao had made up his mind, Lin Wu could only nod helplessly.

“Boss, should I go now?”

“Yes, go ahead, make sure to buy a good car!”

“I understand!” After saying that, Lin Wu turned to leave.

“Wait!” Just a few steps away, Zhou Chao called him back.

“What’s wrong, Boss?”

“Do you have enough money to buy a luxury car?”

Zhou Chao’s words caught Lin Wu off guard, and he realized he only had around a hundred thousand on him.

“I have a little over a million. It should be enough to buy a Mercedes.” Lin Wu managed to squeeze out the words nervously.

“What kind of luxury car can you buy with that little money? Here, take this, no need to save!” Zhou Chao took out his black card and handed it to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu took the black card cautiously and carefully put it away.

“Boss, I’ll go now!”

“Good, I’ll send you the address in a moment. Once you’ve bought the luxury car, go there and find me!”

“I got it!” Lin Wu then opened the door and left.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao lay on the sofa and made a call to Gu Yan, the person in charge of his Hanfu studio.

In a residential building in the Beigong Road of Jinling Pukou District, five women sat with worried expressions on their faces.

“Sister Yan, what should we do? Should you call the Boss and explain the situation? Otherwise, we’ll be left out in the cold on the roadside in a few days!

“The landlord is really something. 1 don’t know what got into him; suddenly raising the rent by tens of thousands. I wonder what he’s thinking!”

“Could it be someone deliberately causing trouble?”

“Are you talking about that rich second-generation guy who pursued Sister Yan before?”

“Yes, otherwise, why would the landlord suddenly raise the rent like this?”

At this moment, Gu Yan, who was sitting by the window, said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Xiaoling and Tongze, you go look for a suitable place. As for Qusi and Sasa, you’ll stay with me to complete the previous orders.”

“Okay, Sister Yan!” They all immediately got up and took action.

At the same time, Gu Yan’s phone rang, and she looked at the screen’s name, momentarily stunned.

“Sister Yan, what are you thinking? Why aren’t you answering the call?” Sasa couldn’t help but remind her.

“Oh, 1 was lost in thought. I’ll answer it right away.” Gu Yan quickly picked up the call.

“Hello, Boss!”

“Gu Yan, send me the address of the studio. I’ll come over in a bit.”

“Sure… sure, Boss!” As soon as Gu Yan’s words fell, Zhou Chao hung up the phone on his end.

“Seriously, he hung up before I could finish talking!” She muttered to herself but still sent the address of the studio.

Zhou Chao received Gu Yan’s address, checked it on his phone, and realized it wasn’t too far from where he lived. He grabbed his phone and room key, then headed for the door.

As he walked into the lobby, the hotel manager approached him.

“Arrange a car for me!”

“Of course, Boss!”

The manager immediately arranged a hotel’s dedicated luxury car.

“Boss, where are we going?”

“Pukou District, Gongyuan North Road, Gongjiao Village.”

The driver nodded in response to the Boss’ instructions and started the car.

After about 20 minutes, the driver arrived at the entrance of Gongjiao Village.

“Stop here!”

“Boss, should I wait for you here?”

“No need, you can go straight back!” Zhou Chao replied and opened the car door, stepping out.

Zhou Chao entered the residential complex but wasn’t sure which building to go to. He had to call Gu Yan again.

Hello, Gu Yan, I’ve arrived at your residential complex!”

“Boss, you’re here? I’ll come down to pick you up right away!”

“Okay, I’ll be waiting near the garden at the entrance of the complex!”

“Got it!” Gu Yan said and walked out of the studio.

As she reached the ground floor, she spotted an incredibly handsome man standing near the garden.

“Is that our Boss?” Gu Yan approached with some confusion.

“Hello, are you Mr. Zhou?” She asked somewhat puzzled.

“You must be Gu Yan. I’m Zhou Chao, your boss. I didn’t expect the person in charge of the Hanfu studio to be so young!”

“Boss, not only are you young, but you’re also incredibly handsome!”

“Haha, you flatter me. Let’s go, to the studio!”

“Boss, follow me!”

Gu Yan then led Zhou Chao towards the studio building.

As Zhou Chao entered the studio, he heard two clear voices, “So handsome!”

“Ahem!” Gu Yan, looking at Qusi and Sasa’s infatuated expressions, couldn’t help but remind them.

“You two, come over here. Let me introduce you to our new boss at the studio!”

“Our new boss is so young and so handsome, this is amazing!” Qusi bounced over to Zhou Chao.

“Boss, do you have a girlfriend?” Sasa gazed at Zhou Chao as if her eyes could emit sparks.

“I don’t have a girlfriend, but 1 have a wife!”

“All!” Three different reactions echoed.

“Boss, you’re married?”

“Yes, what’s so surprising about getting married at a young age?” Zhou Chao looked at them, a slight smile on his lips.

“It’s not that, you just look so young. How come you’re already married?”

“When you meet the right person, you give her the best promise.”

Zhou Chao’s words left the group momentarily stunned, but they quickly recovered.

“Boss, please have a seat inside, even though it’s a bit messy!” Gu Yan realized that they had been standing at the door for quite a while.

“Alright.” Zhou Chao walked into the studio and began to take a look around.

Zhou Chao noticed that there were many Hanfu outfits hanging on the wall, each with its own unique charm.

“Boss, please have some water!” Sasa also brought a paper cup over.

“Mmm, thank you!”

After taking a look around, Zhou Chao found a seat and sat down.

Is it just the three of you in the studio?”

“No, there are five of us in total. The other two are out on business but will be back soon!” Gu Yan quickly explained.

“Tell me about it. Give me some basic information about your studio!” Zhou Chao wanted to understand how the studio was doing. If it didn’t meet his basic requirements, he might have to consider other options. novelbuddy. com

The three of them exchanged glances before Gu Yan spoke, “Our studio has been operating for almost five years. We’ve been doing decently, but not exceptionally well. However, we do have a good reputation in the Hanfu community.”

“Sister Yan, why just decently? We’re one of the top studios!” Sasa protested.

Don’t talk too much!” Qusi muttered under her breath.

At this point, Zhou Chao was beginning to regret his keen hearing.

Gu Yan glanced at the two of them and continued, “Our annual revenue is roughly around 1 million RMB. However, our Hanfu production costs are quite high, so our profit margin isn’t that high. That’s why the previous owner had to sell the studio.”

“Boss, we also have our own online store, which is one of the most highly rated in the Hanfu community!” Sasa added proudly.

Zhou Chao now had a better understanding. This studio had the technical skills, but the production costs were high, and they aimed for high-end quality rather than mass production.

“Well, I have a rough idea now. 1 came here to understand your situation. I initially thought your studio had dozens of employees, but it seems I miscalculated!”

Zhou Chao was about to say more when an urgent voice interrupted him.

“This is bad! Sister Yan, that rich second-generation guy who pursued you earlier is downstairs, and it seems like he’s here to give you flowers!” Tongze rushed in, sounding very anxious. Initially, her voice was quite loud, but upon seeing Zhou Chao, her tone instantly turned sweeter.

“Tongze, what’s going on? You were shouting so loudly earlier. Why are you pretending to be sweet when there’s no handsome man around?” Xiaoling strolled in from the door, still muttering to herself.

Upon hearing Xiaoling’s words, Tongze wanted to tear her mouth apart.

At this point, Gu Yan spoke up, “Both of you, come here. Let me introduce you to our new boss in the studio!”

Xiaoling finally noticed the presence of a handsome man in the room.

Upon hearing Gu Yan’s words, the two of them quickly walked over to Zhou Chao and greeted him warmly.

However, their voices lacked the boldness they had shown earlier.

Hello, Boss!”

“Mmm, hello!” Zhou Chao nodded gently and then turned his gaze to Gu Yan.

“I’ve already got a basic understanding of your situation. Do you know about the recent incident regarding Dior plagiarizing our horse-face skirt?”

“We know! It’s really despicable. They not only plagiarized it but also claimed it as their original work. It’s truly shameless!” Sasa clenched her fists in anger and exclaimed.

“I want you to design a traditional-style skirt in our own unique style within three days, targeting the one that Dior plagiarized, the horse-face skirt. Do you think you can do it?”

“We certainly can. Sister Yan is an expert in this field. Many have tried to poach her, but she never left.”

“Oh,” Zhou Chao looked at Gu Yan in surprise. He didn’t expect Gu Yan to be so talented in this area.

“Boss, designing a skirt to target theirs is not a problem. The issue is that even if we design it, what’s the use?”

“No worries, just design it first. Let me see the result.”

Seeing that her boss had already agreed, Gu Yan nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the room, and Zhou Chao found it somewhat familiar.

Gu Yan, are you here? I’ve come again!” A handsome man entered the room holding a bouquet of roses.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t expect to encounter him here in Jinling.

“Zhou Chao, what are you doing here!”
