At this point, the two of them had already returned to the hotel. Zhou Chao was sitting on the hotel room's sofa, chatting on his phone.
"Uncle Ma, I hope I'm not disturbing your rest!" Although Zhou Chao currently had a much stronger overall strength than Lao Ma, he still needed to address him properly due to their significant age difference.
"Not at all, young man. What brings you to call me? Are you planning to treat me to a meal?" Lao Ma's hearty voice came through the phone.
"Well, how did you know? I arrived in Hangzhou this afternoon. Do you have time tomorrow for lunch? I'd like to treat you to a meal," Zhou Chao replied, getting straight to the point.
"Tomorrow? That's a bit inconvenient. I already made plans to have lunch with someone else tomorrow. How about you join us?"
"Is it okay for me, an outsider, to join?" Zhou Chao frowned slightly when he heard about others being present.
