Chapter 574 - 574 First Meeting (2)



Zhou Chao nodded with a smile upon hearing this. The relationship between the two countries could be traced back decades, and it was thanks to this wealthy camel tycoon that the arms sales projects between China and their country gained international recognition.

“Haha, our relationship will be even closer in the future. Please, come inside,” Zhou Chao gestured politely with his right hand, extending an invitation.

“Please,” Archie responded warmly.

The two of them walked towards the villa, chatting amiably. Abdullah watched them, shaking his head with resignation at their lively conversation, before hastening to catch up.

Inside the villa, the ground floor had been hastily tidied up by Lin Wu and the others. A table near the fireplace was now laden with various fruits, while Lin Wu, with his amateur tea-making skills, was busy preparing tea.

Chen Nan asked curiously, “Brother Wu, who taught you this tea-making technique? It looks quite impressive, despite being a bit rusty.”

“Well, of course, you should sec who taught me. I shamelessly asked our boss for guidance!” Lin Wu said proudly.

Just as Chen Nan was about to say something, he saw Zhou Chao leading Archie and the others in. Quickly, he straightened up, and even Lin Wu set down the teapot he was holding.

“Boss, the tea is ready!” Lin Wu whispered softly.

Zhou Chao nodded slightly, smiling as he looked at Archie. “Mr. Archie, please have a seat and try the tea I brought specially from China. Let’s see if it suits your taste.”

Archie and Abdullah sat across from Zhou Chao.

“Oh, I must taste it. I quite enjoy your Huaxia (China I Chinese) tea,” Archie said with curiosity, his face showing genuine interest. He had tried it a few times during his previous visits to China and had grown fond of its flavor.

Zhou Chao poured tea for Archie and Abdullah before pouring some for himself.

“Please.”

Archie didn’t hesitate to take a sip, analyzing the taste.

“Slightly bitter at first, but with a sweet aftertaste. Mr. Zhou, this must be premium Pu’er tea!”

“I didn’t expect Mr. Archie to have such knowledge of tea. Indeed, it’s premium Pu’er tea,” Zhou Chao replied, surprised that Archie could discern the tea’s type with just a few sips. It seemed he had quite an understanding of Huaxia’s culture.

“It’s all thanks to a friend who gave it to me before I left China. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be familiar with this tea.”

“I see. Mr. Archie, if you like it, feel free to take some with you when you leave,” Zhou Chao offered generously.

“Then I won’t be polite!” Archie accepted without hesitation.

It made sense; after all, foreigners might not understand the nuances of politeness.

Just as the conversation was getting pleasant, Lev hurried in from outside and whispered to Zhou Chao, “Boss, Liya is here, and it looks like there are other people with him. I saw quite a few security bureau personnel.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao’s expression shifted slightly. He knew it must be Liya’s father.

“I see. You go and greet them first. I’ll come out later,” Zhou Chao instructed quietly.

“Um, boss, is it appropriate for me to go?” Lev asked, puzzled, knowing he wasn’t qualified enough.

“It’s fine; you can go. I believe he won’t mind,” Zhou Chao reassured calmly.

Lev nodded and quickly walked outside.

Zhou Chao then turned to Archie and Abdullah, saying, “Sorry, but another important guest has arrived.”

Archie was curious about who it could be, and Abdullah, beside him, exclaimed in surprise, “Is it Liya and the person with him?”

“Exactly!”

Hearing their conversation, Archie’s confusion deepened, and Abdullah quickly explained to him in a low voice. It took Archie a while to finally understand.

“Mr. Zhou, aren’t you going to greet him?”

Zhou Chao smiled and replied, “Mr. Archie, if you don’t mind, would you accompany me to welcome him?”

“Of course not!” Archie quickly stood up. After all, making acquaintance with the person from Russia was a good opportunity for him.

The two of them headed outside. Just as they reached the door, they bumped into Liya and his companions. The middle-aged man leading them looked quite familiar to Zhou Chao, as he often appeared in certain domestic media or short videos.

“Hello, Mr. Zhou Chao!”

“Hello, Mr. Dmitry. Welcome to Clear Spring Ranch!” Zhou Chao reached out his hand proactively.

They exchanged a simple handshake.

“Well, Mr. Archie, I didn’t expect to see you here. Quite surprising,” Dmitry remarked, also surprised that Archie had personally come. It seemed their plans to apply pressure might be in vain today. With Archie present, any negative remarks would reflect poorly on himself.

“Haha, Mr. Dmitry, your reputation precedes you. Today, I finally have the honor of meeting you in person!” Archie greeted warmly.

“Let’s sit inside and talk. It’s not comfortable standing here,”

They nodded and followed Zhou Chao inside. Abdullah and Liya, trailing behind, exchanged a glance, both sensing the helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Abdullah leaned close to Liya and whispered, “What’s wrong with you? You look so gloomy.. Did your father scold you?”
