“I won’t trust you, but… it’s not impossible. However, I hope the nominal host is our Peng City, not a joint effort!”

With that said, Ye Zhengfeng calmly sipped his tea.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao internally scoffed, “He accuses me of being cunning, but he’s the real schemer. He gains without investing or working, openly benefiting. Ah, the decline of morality! They’re even bullying us youngsters now!”

“Alright, no problem. But you have to personally attend the opening ceremony and say a few words!”

“No problem!” Ye Zhengfeng immediately agreed. He knew this was Zhou Chao’s way of teasing him, but he didn’t mind!

“But on another note, nothing is set in stone yet. Whether or not we can achieve this depends entirely on you!”

“Rest assured, no problem!” Zhou Chao confidently replied.

After discussing business, the two casually chatted about personal matters. Ye Zhengfeng mentioned that Little Mango was now in elementary school and suggested visiting her when they had free time.

Zhou Chao agreed, but as for when he would be free, that was uncertain.

Before they realized it, it was already half past three. Yang Liu came to inform Ye Zhengfeng that there was a meeting postponed to later, prompting Zhou Chao to bid farewell.

“Handle things efficiently. I await your good news!” Before leaving, Zhou Chao was reminded once again by Ye Zhengfeng.

“Soon, rest assured!” Zhou Chao waved his hand and left without looking back!

“Boss, are we going back to the hotel or to the company?”

“Let’s go back to the hotel. I’m a bit tired!” Zhou Chao rubbed his temples.

Indeed, he was quite tired today. He hardly had any rest, and now all he wanted was to return to the hotel for a relaxing bath to relieve the fatigue.

Lin Wu noticed Zhou Chao had closed his eyes to rest, so he drove especially steadily on the way back to the hotel.

Upon returning to the hotel, Zhou Chao asked Lin Wu to call Xu Yu and the others, telling them to send the list to his email.

After that, he headed straight to the bathroom.

In the blink of an eye, it was already eight o’clock in the evening. Busy as ever, Zhou Chao was occupied once again, although this time it was only with his mouth.

Looking at the laptop in front of him, he softly murmured, “Xiao Guo, carefully review the personnel list sent by Xu Yu and allow the use of hacking methods!”

“Wow, finally, surfing time! Yeah yeah yeah!” On the screen, Xiao Guo was twisting his body in beach shorts.

“Alright, get busy now!” Zhou Chao’s lips curled into a smile.

“I’m on it~”

The next moment, the laptop screen flashed with different photos. Zhou Chao only glanced at them briefly before turning away!

Even someone as capable as him felt a bit dizzy and nauseous from looking at them.

At this moment, Zhou Chao also considered whether he should call the person above about this matter.

It could be significant or trivial, depending on how it was handled!

After some thought, Zhou Chao ultimately decided to call Old Master Jiang. He always valued the old man’s opinions. Let’s see what he had to say!

Without hesitation, he dialed the old man’s number, but as usual, it just kept ringing without anyone answering.

Just as Zhou Chao was about to hang up, he heard the somewhat weary voice of Old Master Jiang on the other end, “Hello, Xiao Chao, what’s the matter?”

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment before speaking up, “Old Master, I have something I’d like to discuss with you. Are you available?”

“Go ahead, I just finished up here and have some free time.”

Zhou Chao then proceeded to explain his thoughts in detail, waiting patiently for Old Master Jiang’s response.

“In theory, since these are independently developed by your company, they can be freely sold. But you also understand their importance. Selling them is inevitable.

Let’s stick with your proposed method for now and refrain from overseas sales. You know there are many domestic enterprises with people but lacking high-precision machines, so they’re greatly restricted in many industries. With your high-precision machine tools and lithography systems, these enterprises might just thrive.

Regarding your domestic sales plan, I agree, but you must stay vigilant and not let the hidden bad guys profit!”

Old Master Jiang ended with a reminder. Though not explicitly stated, Zhou Chao understood.

“Old Master, rest assured. I’ll test the waters first this time, find some trustworthy companies to cooperate with. You can trust me!”

“Hmm, I trust your ability to handle things. Despite your young age, you’re quite mature in your approach. Anything else, or can I hang up?”

“No, nothing else. Old Master, take care of yourself and don’t overwork!”

“I got it!” With that, Old Master Jiang hung up the phone.

Looking at the disconnected call, Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly. Although Old Master Jiang said he understood, Zhou Chao knew what the reality was.

“Ah, the dedication of the older generation is not something us youngsters can match!”

Putting his phone aside, Zhou Chao turned his gaze to the laptop, where the flickering images were no longer visible.

Instead, Xiao Guo was leisurely lying on a lounge chair, holding a fishing rod.

Zhou Chao couldn’t help but wonder where Xiao Guo had learned this hobby. Why did he have to learn fishing of all things?

“Xiao Guo, have you finished reviewing everything?”

“It’s all checked, no problems at all. Do you need me to save the relevant information?”

With that, Xiao Guo’s fishing rod disappeared from his hand.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chao replied, “No need to save it, just delete it. Since everything is fine, keeping it won’t be of any use!”

“Alright!”

After finishing up this matter, Zhou Chao initially thought about having Xiao Guo screen some companies to prepare for selling their own ultra-precision machine tools and lithography systems. However, he couldn’t help but consider, if the boss has already taken care of everything, what’s the point of the rest of the team doing it?

Zhou Chao decisively put away his phone, flopped onto the bed, and leisurely started scrolling through short videos on a certain social media platform.

…

The next day, Zhou Chao slept until almost noon before crawling out of bed. He had unintentionally stayed up until past three in the morning browsing that social media platform.

After a simple wash-up, Zhou Chao walked out of the bedroom and saw Lin Wu sitting on the sofa playing with his phone.

Zhou Chao glanced over and figured he was chatting with his wife, Li Qian.

“Boss, you’re up!”

Seeing Zhou Chao come out, Lin Wu quickly put his phone away.

“Yeah.” Zhou Chao nodded and went straight to lie down on the massage sofa!

“Could you inform the housekeeper to bring some food, and make it a combo!”

Lin Wu nodded at the request, then picked up the nearby landline to make the call.

“Boss, are we not going to the company today?”

“Nope. After I brief Xu Yu on some matters, we’ll go out for a stroll. As the boss, I feel like I have more things to handle than anyone else. Let Xu Yu and the others take care of these matters!”

Feeling the comfort of the massage chair, Zhou Chao even found relief from the fatigue of staying up late last night.

Lin Wu nodded. Since the boss had spoken, he just had to follow the instructions!

After having a meal, Zhou Chao proceeded to outline his previous reviews and some upcoming plans, focusing mainly on selling the ultra-precision machine tools and lithography systems.

He directly sent his plans to Xu Yu, instructing him to make the necessary preparations. Zhou Chao wouldn’t provide any assistance and wanted to expedite the selection of a batch of cooperating enterprises.

When Xu Yu saw the message Zhou Chao sent, he felt like his head had suddenly doubled in size.

Without even taking a nap, he immediately called for a high-level meeting, finalized some details, and then began assigning tasks!

Luckily, there were plenty of talents in Canghai Technology in this regard, so each person’s workload wasn’t too heavy.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu were leisurely basking in the sun.

Since Peng City’s winter temperature hovered around twenty degrees Celsius, the sunlight felt particularly comfortable on their bodies.

“Boss, are we just going to sit in this park all afternoon?” Lin Wu asked while sipping on a large cup of fruit tea!

“What’s the rush? Let’s enjoy the sun while we can. We can take care of things later!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wu relaxed and leaned back in his chair, enjoying the leisurely moment.
