Even Wang Lan and Xiao Wu, who were standing nearby, showed curious expressions.

“I can’t tell you about this matter for now, but you’ll know soon enough,” Zhou Chao said mysteriously.

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, the others wore disappointed expressions.

“Lin Wu, go and bring Li Wei in.”

Lin Wu quickly got up and walked towards the door. Li Wei, whose steps seemed somewhat stiff, walked in shortly after. Zhou Chao could tell that Li Wei had been standing outside for about an hour.

Zhou Chao glanced at him and said, “Take a seat.”

“Thank you, boss.”

Wang Lan hurriedly helped Li Wei sit on the sofa and even started massaging his thigh, which earned her a disapproving look from Zhou Chao.

“You two are showing too much affection in front of me. Save it for home. It’s irritating to watch.”

Wang Lan blushed and quickly withdrew her hand, feeling self-conscious.

“Boss, I…”

“What T? Let me tell you, Li Wei, I’m giving you a chance because there’s a child in Wang Lan’s belly. But Wang Lan will be transferred back to Jingdu, your year-end bonus for this year is gone, and your position will be lowered by one level. Consider this a lesson. Additionally, you need to arrange the wedding as soon as possible. Haven’t you noticed how big Wang Lan’s belly has gotten? How do you expect her to face people at the company? You didn’t think about all this? Get this matter sorted out quickly to avoid people saying I’m a ruthless boss who doesn’t let his subordinates get married!”

Li Wei stood up excitedly upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, continuously thanking him, “Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!”

“Get out, get out, get out! Seeing you makes me irritated. Xiao Wu, take me to the site,” Zhou Chao said, getting up and heading towards the door.

Lin Wu and Xiaowu, both wearing smiles, glanced at Li Wei and Wang Lan before quickly catching up to Zhou Chao.

Li Wei was about to follow them but was stopped by Wang Lan.

“Don’t go. Going there will only make the boss angrier.”

“Why?” Li Wei asked, puzzled.

“Are you that naive? The boss is doing this to set an example for the employees. Do you think he made you stand at the door to embarrass you? Your usual cleverness seems to have disappeared at this moment.”

Li Wei, hearing this, became even more confused. Perhaps someone who was not directly involved in a situation really might have a clearer perspective on it.

Understanding Li Wei’s confusion, Wang Lan continued to explain, “Think about our relationship, the middle and upper management all know about it. Nobody is a fool. The boss is doing this to serve as a warning to others. Also, he’s transferring me back for your sake, so that people below won’t secretly undermine you. You’re setting a good example!”

Wang Lan couldn’t help but tease in the end.

Li Wei, who had realized his mistake, wore a look of guilt on his face. He let out a long sigh and said, “1 let down the boss’ expectations of me.”

“Oh, by the way, the boss didn’t mention how your work will be arranged,” Li Wei suddenly remembered that his wife was going to be transferred.

“Hmph, you don’t care at all, and now you remember.”

Seeing this, Li Wei quickly hugged Wang Lan gently and said, “How could 1 forget you? I…”

“Boom!” The office door suddenly swung open, and Li Wei and Wang Lan quickly let go, turning to see Lin Wu with a smile on his face.

“Sorry, sorry, the boss forgot his phone,” Lin Wu quickly walked to the sofa, picked up Zhou Chao’s phone, and walked out.

“You guys can continue,” Lin Wu said as he walked out and closed the door behind him.

Seeing the door closed, the two of them came back to their senses. Wang Lan blushed and said, “It’s all your fault, this time we really embarrassed ourselves.”

“It’s okay, Lin Wu is tight-lipped, he won’t say anything even if he saw,” Li Wei assured her. What he didn’t expect was that at this moment, Lin Wu was sharing what he had seen and heard with Zhou Chao and Xiaowu.

“I trust you.”

“Have you told me where the boss has arranged you?”

“In Jingdu, the boss has a golf club in the suburbs, and he wants me to work there and take care of my health.”

“At least it’s not too far.”

“Hmph, the boss has already spoken, urging you to marry me as soon as possible. Let’s see what excuses you have this time!” Wang Lan clenched her fist and said.

Li Wei looked at Wang Lan’s triumphant look, smiled happily, and then hugged her waist, saying, “Let’s pick a date today, the sooner, the better!”

Wang Lan also tightly hugged Li Wei’s waist, her face showing a happy smile.

“Boss, you didn’t see Li Wei and the others, they were hugging and whispering sweet nothings in the office, tsk tsk, really envy-worthy,” Lin Wu said, gesturing with his hands and making Xiaowu burst into laughter.

“What’s there to envy? When you go back, you can hug your own wife like that.”

“But 1 haven’t gone back yet,” Lin Wu said with a bit of embarrassment.

Seeing Lin Wu fidgeting, Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly and continued to look at the scene.

The steelmaking site was a hive of activity, and even standing at the door, Zhou Chao could feel the waves of heat sweeping in.

“Xiao Wu, have there been any safety incidents on site?”

“Boss, rest assured, safety training is part of our assessment, closely related to employees’ wages, and we have training meetings every week. Everyone has a strong awareness of this..”
