Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Early the next day, in the early morning, Ling Chen, dressed in formal attire, knocked on Zhou Chao’s residence at The Palms Residence.

Zhou Chao, still groggy from sleep, looked at Ling Chen and asked, “Why are you here so early?”

“Boss, you said you wanted to register the company and find an office space today.”

“I’ve located an office space for us. It’s situated on the 22nd floor of Jinmao Building in Lujiazui. The company can be registered under the name ‘Mayfly Investment’. Once the company registration is complete, you can get in touch with the property management. Just mention that Qin Lang recommended you, and they will know what to do.

Also, could you provide me with your bank account number? I’ll initiate a transfer of 20 million to you beforehand. Once the company registration is complete, focus on enhancing the office space. Ensure that the entertainment facilities and recreational areas are well-equipped—no need to cut corners.” Zhou Chao received the bank card details and promptly transferred 20 million to Ling Chen. Afterward, he reclined on the couch and resumed his sleep.

Ling Chen stood there, stunned, looking at the notification of the money transfer on his phone and the registration documents in his hand. Faced with such a boss, he didn’t know how to react. He shook his head in resignation, closed the door, and left The Palms Residence.

When Zhou Chao woke up again, it was already noon. He sat up on the couch and remembered that Ling Chen had come in the early morning to talk about registering the company. He was previously too tired to deal with it and let Ling Chen handle it himself. He wondered how things were progressing. He picked up his phone and called Ling Chen.

“Hello, Ling Chen, where are you now?”

“Boss, did you sleep well? I’m at Jinmao Building right now, looking at our office space. Are you coming over?”

“I won’t be coming over immediately. Once you’ve taken a look, feel free to get in touch with the renovation company directly. Spare no expense in ensuring it’s done beautifully. Be certain to incorporate spaces for leisure and entertainment. I’ll pay a visit after the renovation work is completed.” Zhou Chao had entrusted all these tasks to Ling Chen.

“Smack!” Zhou Chao slapped his own hand, realizing that he had forgotten to ask Ling Chen if the company registration had been completed. After a moment’s contemplation, he decided not to make another call, as he had faith that Ling Chen would handle it well.

“Lin Wu!” Zhou Chao called out towards the direction of the staircase. In a moment, Lin Wu appeared, his whole body drenched in sweat, his plain shirt clinging to his skin, revealing his well-defined eight-pack abs.

“Boss, you called?” Lin Wu wiped the sweat off his face with the towel hanging from his neck. “You should go freshen up. We’ll head out to sea shortly.” Zhou Chao then dialed George’s number, asking him to make some arrangements. After some consideration, Zhou Chao also decided to call Ling Chen.

“Boss, is there something you need?”

“Have you finished over there? Do you have time to join me for a trip out to sea this afternoon?”

“Boss, I’m afraid I can’t make it. I still need to handle the company registration and the renovation this afternoon. I won’t be able to come.”

Knowing that Ling Chen was efficient and direct, Zhou Chao decided not to probe further. After a short conversation, he ended the call.

After Lin Wu finished his shower and got dressed, he stood by the side. Zhou Chao paused for a moment, trying to recall if there was anything he had forgotten to do. Satisfied that he hadn’t missed anything, he and Lin Wu embarked on their journey.

A Lamborghini Poison slowly drove out from The Palms Residence, merging into the traffic and disappearing.

When Zhou Chao arrived at the yacht club, he could already see his crew members playing by the shore from a distance.

“Boss, you’re here. Everything’s ready, we can depart anytime.”

“Depart.” The Dragonfly set off from its berth, heading towards the open sea.

“Go, go, go!” Zhou Chao looked at George, who was even more excited than himself, and entered with Lin Wu.

As the sun set in the west, Zhou Chao held a glass of red wine, leaning against the yacht’s railing, watching the sunset gradually descend on the sea’s horizon. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “This is life!”

In the afternoon, the Dragonfly reached the East China Sea. Zhou Chao and the others started a fishing competition, which continued until dusk. Zhou Chao watched as Lin Wu and George caught several big fish, while he only managed to catch a small one, no bigger than the palm of his hand.

Helplessly, he could only drink wine, feel the sea breeze, and watch the sunset. The scenery on the return journey unexpectedly turned beautiful.

It was already 8 PM when they got back home. After having a simple dinner with Lin Wu, Zhou Chao walked into his study, about to start playing games. However, he saw a message from Ling Chen saying that the company’s registration had been completed and that he should bring over the relevant documents tomorrow.

At 10 AM the next day, Ling Chen entered Zhou Chao’s study holding a document folder. Seeing Zhou Chao lying on the recliner, reading financial books, Ling Chen said, “Young Master Zhou, these are some documents and seals related to the company registration.”

Zhou Chao put down his book, got up, and made a cup of tea for Ling Chen. “Have a seat, don’t stand. Make yourself at home.” Ling Chen didn’t act pretentious either, he sat down, enjoying the fragrance of the tea wafting from the cup.

Seeing how this man, who used to look weary and downtrodden, was now brimming with confidence and happiness, Zhou Chao smiled. “Ling Chen, when the company is established, are you interested in getting involved in investment banking?”

“At that time, it will depend on your guidance, Young Master Zhou.”

Zhou Chao chuckled. “Let me first tell you about the industries I currently have under my name. I currently hold shares in Ali and Tencent, both at three percent ownership. I also own a yacht worth nearly 200 million, not to mention real estate. Right now, I’m looking to transfer the shares to the company. Once you’ve set up the company framework, I’ll invest 200 million in cash. Let’s see if there are suitable projects.”

“Wow, Boss, don’t worry. I’ll get the company established as soon as possible. I won’t let you down.” Ling Chen was shaken, never expecting that his young boss was already so financially substantial.

“Great, work on recruiting the necessary personnel as quickly as you can. One key thing to remember is that I don’t want individuals who benefit without contributing. Take charge of this responsibly. For significant matters, you’ll be overseeing the company.”

“Thank you for your trust, Boss. I won’t disappoint you.”

Zhou Chao looked at Ling Chen’s serious expression, patted his shoulder, and said, “I believe in you.”

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. The company had been renovated, and Ling Chen had already assembled the team. Zhou Chao was ready to hold a small ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Mysteriously, word got out prematurely. On the 20th, the day of the grand opening, both Big Ma and Little Ma called to extend their congratulations. They also dispatched vice presidents to partake in the ceremony, presenting gifts and flower baskets as tokens of goodwill. The entire company was abuzz with excitement, and every establishment within the Golden Plaza Building, regardless of its size, was aware that an unfamiliar company with substantial backing had arrived. The link with these two companies guaranteed a promising future.

That evening, Zhou Chao booked a private room on the Bund. Along with Lin Wu and the company’s employees, there were a total of 15 people gathering for a meal, getting to know each other and fostering relationships.

“Here, let’s all raise our glasses. Let’s work hard with President Ling. If we achieve good results, I’ll give each of you a generous bonus at the end of the year. Don’t let me down.”

Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, the room erupted with excitement among the employees. In that moment, it felt like the cohesion of the entire company had been boosted.

“Ling Chen, I’m handing the company over to you from now on. Tomorrow, I’ll transfer 200 million to the company’s account. Whether you invest it or trade stocks, it’s up to you. I’ll only look at the results.”

“Boss, you can trust me.”

“Cheers..”
