Luo Chao knew about this matter, but he hadn't thanked her in person yet. He chuckled, "How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

Lanya furrowed her brows and snorted, "Is it that simple?"

"Then go ahead, tell how you want to thank you," Luo Chao felt that Lanya had co prepared with a sche, certainly up to no good.

Lanya smiled slyly, "I have an archeological event, and I want you to accompany . What do you think?"

Archeology? Luo Chao was stunned, "What's your major?"

Lanya was both amused and annoyed, "Of course it's archeology. Why else would I attend so archeological event for no reason? So silly!"

Luo Chao really hadn't expected it. Such a pretty girl, instead of studying sothing deep and aningful, chooses to dig into these ancient artifacts and dead things. Even n aren't keen on learning about it, let alone won.

"Your hobbies sure are unique," Luo Chao sighed and shook his head.

Lanya got angry, pouting her lips, "Just tell , are you going or not!"

"Obviously, I don't want to go," Luo Chao said bluntly. Archeology is a tough job, not only having to travel far but also braving the elents. I'd rather stay ho, enjoy peace and freedom.

Lanya was furious, "Even if you don't want to go, you have to. You owe a huge favor, won't even help with this small request? That's just not right."

"What's not right about it? My legs aren't attached to you. You can't drag there!" Luo Chao rolled his eyes.

"You!" Lanya was livid, "You're forgetting you owe two conditions, along with the favor I ntioned. How about that!"

Luo Chao felt a jolt in his heart, increasingly thinking the place Lanya wants to visit can't be a good one. Otherwise, why would she insist on having him accompany her? It must be an undesirable place. One condition plus a huge favor, it really is hard for him to refuse. But he still said, "I have work, you better find soone else to accompany you."

The, Blueminister, insists he goes, probably not because she likes him, but perhaps she thinks he's capable. The place they're heading to definitely isn't safe, making Luo Chao feel that archeology is certainly not child's play.

Lanya giggled, "Don't worry about that. I've already spoken to my cousin, and she'll give you a year's leave to accompany on the trip."

"President Ning agreed?" Luo Chao was shocked.

Lanya blinked her beautiful eyes, "Of course, you can ask my cousin if you don't believe . She agreed to let you accompany !"

Luo Chao hesitated, it seed Lanya was not lying. President Ning wants him to accompany her cousin. Perhaps it's also because she wants to separate for a few days. After all, the incident that night was awkward for both of them.

Considering his wife's side, Luo Chao nodded, "Alright, when do we depart?"

"Early tomorrow morning," Lanya announced.

Luo Chao was astonished, "We're leaving that soon? Couldn't you have told a few days in advance so I could be prepared?"

"What do you need to prepare for, just focus on keeping safe," Lanya said pursing her red lips, "I've already prepared all the essentials for you. Besides, my cousin only agreed yesterday, which is why I'm telling you today."

Lanya thought to herself, nothing works as effectively as her cousin. She didn't know why Luo Chao, so outstanding, seed a bit afraid of her cousin.

Luo Chao thought about it; he could probably resolve today's matters. He sighed, "Okay, call tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Luo Chao left her office, glanced at his phone, thinking it was ti to solve so problems. He straightforwardly walked out of the logistics departnt, took the elevator down, swiftly exited the company, and got into his Bugatti Veyron.

As Luo Chao was about to start the car, Hao Keren called, "Uncle!"

There was muffled sobbing on the other end of the line. Luo Chao asked, "Keren, what's wrong?"

"My grandpa passed away. Boo hoo..." Hao Keren was weeping harder as she spoke. Luo Chao offered no comfort and said, "People die. That's life."

Before Luo Chao finished his sentence, Hao Keren yelled, "Uncle, how can you say that? I hate you! I never want to see you again!"

Hao Keren threw her phone down, laid on the bed, and burst into tears. She had cried all night, her eyes swollen from the tears. Grandpa was the one who loved her the most, and now he's gone just like that. She hoped Uncle would solace her, yet unexpectedly, he spoke such heartless words. Uncle, I hate you. How could you be such a heartless person!

Luo Chao holding the phone was stunned, but the words were already spoken, "People die, sotis they co back to life."

Hao Keren wouldn't listen to him finish. Anger overwheld her, and anyone hearing such words would feel rage, especially a naive child.

Just then, Luo Chao's phone rang again. Surprisingly, it wasn't Hao Keren calling but Leopard.

Leopard called out excitedly, "Brother Luo, we're rich, we're rich!"

"I know, keep it up," Luo Chao responded with a vibrant smile.

Leopard chuckled and said, "Brother Luo, I knew it was you behind this. Over the past days, more than a dozen big companies have approached , wanting to sign major contracts with our company, including conglorates like the Hongxing Group. A 10-year contract is worth millions, super contracts. I was too excited to sleep all night!"

Hao Keren devastated and sleepless, while Leopard can't close his eyes in joy. It presents a stark contrast right before Luo Chao.

Luo Chao said, "With so many companies approaching, are we short of manpower?"

"Definitely," Leopard chuckled, "I called back the 100 plus unqualified brothers. They may not qualify as bodyguards, but security should be fine. I also asked them to return the settlent fees, saving 5 million bucks."

"But Brother Luo, I brought them back without your consent, I hope you're not mad," Leopard said, his voice weak.

Luo Chao chuckled, "Why would I be? If it were , I'd do the sa. You've done well."

"Brother Luo, hearing that from you, I feel relieved," Leopard breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Luo, there's one more thing to tell you."

"What is it?" Luo Chao asked.

Leopard hesitated for a mont, then said, "Teng Yuan Group also signed a major deal with our company, a 15-year contract. Sum that with the Hongxing Group contract, our company's assets nearly hit a billion!"
