The group closest to Chen Zao consists of only a handful of people who can be relied upon.
Originally, there were twelve members in this group.
Zhao Jing is gone, Zhou Ziheng has left, and now only ten remain.
Among them, four live and work in Chang'an.
In addition to Zhuo Chugang and Triumph, there is also an outgoing girl named Mali who works as a sales assistant in a shopping mall in Chang'an. Like Chen Zao, she dropped out of technical school.
Another member is Wang Yu, an honest boy who works as a rubber worker in a tire factory and is a technical school graduate.
Four members of the group have been based in Gubei Town—Chen Zao, Jindeli, Zhuo Chunni, and Fat Girl Xinghua.
The other two work and live in Gulan County Town.
One of them, Zhao Wei, works as a cashier in a large supermarket in the county town and is also a technical school graduate.
The other is Niu Hui, the only one in their group who has entered marriage and already has children.
Like Zhuo Chunni and Zhao Jing, Niu Hui graduated from college with a degree in accounting. However, after marrying a leader from the Meat Processing Plant, Niu Hui became a stay-at-home mom taking care of her children and cannot help Chen Zao for the time being.
Aside from these individuals, there are some people in the welfare home who have a good relationship with Chen Zao, but very few are capable of taking on significant responsibilities. Chen Zao finds it difficult to fully trust anyone outside this group.
Within this group, one of the key figures and the oldest member is Zhuo Chugang, who is considered the most capable among them.
Chen Zao has a very close relationship with Zhuo Chugang.
When Chen Zao dropped out of technical school at sixteen, he followed Zhuo Chugang to navigate life in society.
Zhuo Chugang dropped out of technical school a year earlier than Chen Zao and went to work as an apprentice at a car repair shop. Later, finding the work too exhausting, he was introduced to a bathhouse run by Big Crab, where he took a job as a doorman.
Due to his tall and robust build, along with his good looks and fighting skills, Zhuo Chugang was taken under Big Crab's wing at the age of 17 and joined the security team at the bathhouse, becoming a well-known enforcer. He enjoyed a lavish lifestyle, running wild with a group of delinquents in Gubei Town.
Unable to resist the temptation, Chen Zao soon followed Zhuo Chugang's lead and dropped out of school to join him in their reckless adventures.
After a few years of this lifestyle, Big Crab had a falling out with the welfare home. Zhuo Chugang and several other loyal youths from the welfare home decided to sever ties with Big Crab and distance themselves from his gang.
At that time, Zhuo Chugang was 19 years old, and Chen Zao was also 19, both at an age full of youthful passion.
Zhuo Chugang felt that the stage in Gubei Town was too small for him and wanted to take Chen Zao to make their mark in Chang'an City.
However, Chen Zao did not like the concrete jungle of Chang'an City; he preferred staying in the mountains, where he could hunt in the real forests and live freely.
Thus, he chose not to follow Zhuo Chugang to Chang'an but instead stayed in Gubei Town, working various odd jobs for several years.
He worked as a chef, driver, cashier, and even as an extra.
Eventually, after saving some money, he partnered with Jindeli to open Zao Meat Sandwich Shop and settled down in Gubei Town.
Meanwhile, Zhuo Chugang ventured alone into Chang'an City. He initially worked as a security guard at a hotel before being introduced by friends to Chang'an Film City, where he continued as a security guard.
With his tall and handsome appearance and ability to get things done, he gradually rose to become the captain of the security team at Film City. Now he earns around seven or eight thousand each month, which is quite impressive for someone from their background at the welfare home.
Chen Zao knew Zhuo Chugang very well; he understood that Zhuo Chugang was a capable person with many ways of handling matters.
However, Chen Zao was hesitant to let Zhuo Chugang handle big affairs alone because his older brother had one fatal flaw—he was too lustful!
He belongs to the type who definitely gets excited when he sees a beautiful woman.
Changing girlfriends is as easy as changing clothes; Chen Zao can't even count how many girlfriends this guy has had over the years.
Because of his numerous romantic escapades, Zhuo Chugang has gotten into countless troubles and has been in numerous fights.
When Chen Zao just dropped out of school and started hanging out with Zhuo Chugang, most of their fights in Gubei were due to disputes caused by Zhuo Chugang's flirtations.
Years have passed, and Zhuo Chugang's testosterone levels have never decreased; he continues to live a carefree, flirtatious life.
His lecherous nature seems to be innate.
Back then, Zhuo Chugang would take the children from the orphanage to sneak a peek at the aunties bathing. As he grew older, it only intensified; whenever he sees a beautiful woman, he feels compelled to win her over.
Chen Zao is particularly annoyed by this bad habit of Zhuo Chugang's.
Previously, when they discussed starting a pharmaceutical company, Chen Zao wanted Zhuo Chugang to resign from Film City when the time was right and focus on starting a business with his brothers.
However, Zhuo Chugang was reluctant to leave his job at Film City, which left Chen Zao speechless. Zhuo Chugang couldn't bear to part with the exciting scenes he could see every day at Film City.
Many people might not know that cinema screening rooms are equipped with infrared or low-light night vision surveillance cameras.
When the lights go out and the movie starts, the audience thinks it's dark and that no one can see what they're doing.
But in reality, almost every corner and detail of the screening room is captured in high resolution by low-light cameras in the security department.
In the surveillance footage, the dark screening room is as bright as day. Those couples who like to engage in activities in the theater will have their actions recorded, and the content is far more exciting than educational films from certain countries.
This is the main motivation that Zhuo Chugang has for working at Film City.
For someone like him, no matter how capable he is, Chen Zao wouldn't dare to let him handle a situation alone.
Previously, when they were setting up the pharmaceutical factory, Chen Zao had to have Jindeli supervise and work alongside Zhuo Chugang.
In the future, as they venture into the more important Catering Business, they will have more money at their disposal. Zhuo Chugang's notorious lecherousness will surely become even more pronounced.
A dog can't change its habit of eating shit, and Zhuo Chugang won't change his lecherous ways; this is something Chen Zao understands all too well. He only hopes that in the future, Zhuo Chugang can turn this flaw into an asset and use his charm to win over some formidable female clients. As for getting Zhuo Chugang to settle down and stop being lecherous, that's not going to happen for at least another ten or twenty years.
Worried that Jindeli wouldn't be able to keep an eye on Zhuo Chugang alone, Chen Zao decided to have Zhuo Chunni, his younger sister, closely monitor Zhuo Chugang to ensure he doesn't ruin their Catering Business.
That evening, Chen Zao planned to invite Zhuo Chugang and 6 Triumph out for dinner to introduce them to Ma Zhao.
For the time being, he would let the two of them work with Ma Zhao to establish a restaurant management team and offshore company.
Chen Zao had already inquired with Ma Zhao; Ma Fulong had taken Silver Jug to the capital to consult an expert for appraisal and wouldn't be back for at least three or four days. He was just waiting idly.
He thought that after introducing Ma Zhao to Zhuo Chugang and 6 Triumph, he would take a trip to the apocalypse and reap another round of rewards.
It had been a long time since he last visited the apocalypse; he missed that place and wondered if Ren Xiao had managed to trade those delicacies for even more exquisite antiques.
