Ma Fulong had already investigated the background of Chen Zao and Jindeli, and Ma Zhao also knew that Chen Zao and Jindeli were orphans.
However, her enthusiastic attitude towards Chen Zao was not primarily related to their shared status as orphans; it was specifically instructed by Ma Fulong for her to treat Chen Zao well and try to build a closer relationship with him.
Given the aura and demeanor that Chen Zao exuded, along with the ability to procure the miraculous Twin Shoushan Stone Carvings, it was clear that he was not an ordinary person.
Ma Fulong wanted Ma Zhao to dig deeper into Chen Zao's background. He encouraged Ma Zhao to get as close to Chen Zao as possible, ideally to draw out any secrets that Chen Zao might have.
Ma Zhao was personally quite interested in Chen Zao. Additionally, upon seeing him again, she noticed that he no longer carried the unpleasant odor that had once repelled her; instead, he appeared more heroic and upright. This is why her hospitality seemed so warm.
"Mr. Chen, if you need any assistance while you're in Chang'an, feel free to let me know. The Dragon Lord has instructed us that if you encounter any difficulties here, we will do our best to help you."
"Please thank the Dragon Lord for me. I will definitely reach out if something comes up." Chen Zao took a sip of his chilled cola and said, "Actually, I have something I want to inquire about right now."
"Of course."
"Do you know anyone who sells cars around here? I want to buy a vehicle, preferably one that's available immediately."
"That's easy enough. The Dragon Lord has several friends who own car dealerships, and I also have friends who run 4S stores." Ma Zhao asked Chen Zao, "Which model are you interested in? I can check right now to see which dealership has it in stock."
"I haven't settled on a specific model yet; I just think the BYD Tang is quite nice."
"Tang?"
"Yes, that's right—Tang. I really like its name, and I'm fond of that dynasty as well."
"Mr. Chen, you're quite unique for choosing a car based on its name."
Ma Zhao smiled warmly, but inside she was surprised by the mindset of people from the mountainous regions like Chen Zao. It was truly eye-opening to see someone who had become wealthy choose a Tang!
"Cars are not some precious thing; as long as they drive smoothly, that's enough. Isn't it promoting energy conservation and environmental protection now? Driving an electric car won't pollute the atmosphere, so let's start with ourselves and protect the Earth, ha ha."
Chen Zao casually said, "If you know any BYD 4S dealerships, help me find out which one has a car available. I want to pick one up soon."
"Sure, I actually know a boss who runs a BYD 4S dealership. I'll call him right now to ask."
Ma Zhao quickly made the call and confirmed the details for Chen Zao's car purchase.
Once it was clear that Chen Zao definitely wanted to buy a Tang, Ma Zhao directly ordered a black Tang from her friend's dealership and personally faxed copies of Chen Zao's ID and driver's license to the dealership, asking them to handle the paperwork this afternoon so that they could just go over and pay for the car.
Chen Zao envied this friend for not having to pay upfront to get the paperwork done.
It seemed that this girl had some connections in Chang'an City; she was indeed Ma Fulong's adopted daughter.
Thinking about the sluggish person beside him, Chen Zao sincerely wished he had an efficient assistant like Ma Zhao.
Having such a capable assistant would be a huge help, whether starting a business or doing anything else; it would make things much easier and save him a lot of trouble.
"Thanks, Zhao. I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Chen Zao considered getting closer to Ma Zhao, thinking that in the future, when selecting a location for his store in Chang'an, he could ask this young girl with many connections for advice.
"Please don't be so polite, President Chen. If anyone should treat dinner, it should be me treating you. Last time when we were dealing with Stone Carving, Dragon Lord wanted to treat you to dinner, but you had something else going on. If you're free tonight, let me host and show some hospitality on behalf of Dragon Lord. If you want to treat me later, we can do that another time." Ma Zhao smiled sweetly with her charming dimples, making it hard for anyone to refuse her suggestion.
Chen Zao generously replied, "Alright then, tonight I'll let you treat me, and I'll return the favor in the future."
Looking at her watch, Ma Zhao asked Chen Zao, "Do you have any particular favorite flavors? Or any favorite restaurants? I can call and make a reservation right now."
"I'm not picky; I can eat anything delicious. But if I had to choose my favorite, it would definitely be Roujiamo! Ha ha. You should know that my friend and I run a Meat Sandwich Shop—Braised Meat Sandwich—in Gubei; it's quite famous there."
"I've heard about it. After a few days, I will definitely go to Gubei to try your Roujiamo."
"Sure, I'll have Fatty treat you well then." Chen Zao thought for a moment and said, "How about this evening you skip those fancy places and just treat me? It's not interesting; I'm not particularly fond of delicacies. Do you know which family's Roujiamo is the best in Chang'an? Why don't you just treat me to your best Roujiamo? I want to taste what the people in your city’s Roujiamo is like so I can learn from it. In the future, I want to bring my Braised Meat Sandwich into Chang'an!"
"Haha, President Chen, your ambitions are truly 'grand.' If you love Roujiamo that much, I'll take you to eat Roujiamo. I know a few places that serve delicious Meat Sandwiches; we can check them out tonight."
"Great!" Chen Zao was already feeling hungry. After returning from the apocalypse, he had fainted several times and only eaten some grilled fish as a snack. He hadn’t had time to eat when he got back to the shop before rushing to Chang'an. His stomach was growling again now.
"If Dragon Lord is busy over there, I'll reschedule with him," Chen Zao said directly. "I'm a bit hungry; how about we go eat Roujiamo first?"
"President Chen, you're really impatient. If you're hungry, let's go eat some bread first." Ma Zhao glanced at Chen Zao's bulging backpack and said, "If what you brought isn't convenient to carry out, you can leave it in our shop for now. Don't take it to crowded places where it might get damaged."
"Okay, I'll leave this Silver Pot in your shop for now. Please help keep an eye on it; it's quite rare."
Hearing this from Chen Zao piqued Ma Zhao's interest. "President Chen, if possible, could you let me see what kind of Silver Pot you brought? I've been in this business with Dragon Lord for quite some time and know a thing or two about antiques."
"Sure! Just help me take a good look and see if this thing is extremely valuable." Chen Zao emphasized "extremely" twice as he eagerly took out the precious Silver Pot from his backpack.
As he removed the oilcloth wrapping, he presented the ancient and exquisite Silver Pot in front of Ma Zhao.
Ma Zhao's bright eyes instantly lit up with interest and curiosity as he examined it closely.
