Back at the hotel, Lin Wu was pulled by Zhou Chao to play games, and it still had that familiar feeling.

Lin Wu, it’s been two days, a full two days. We’ve played dozens of games, maybe even thirty or so. Can’t you put in some effort? During team fights, you’re nowhere to be found. You’re just a meat shield. Why are you off clearing minions!”

“Boss, it’s not my fault. You guys suddenly initiated a team fight, and by the time 1 got there, you were all dead. I couldn’t do anything!”

Zhou Chao looked at Lin Wu with a slightly pitiful look, and he didn’t feel like continuing.

“Alright, it’s my fault! Let’s stop playing and check out Mou Yin instead!” After playing several rounds without winning, Zhou Chao lost confidence in playing games.

Seeing the boss say that, Lin Wu was also happy to be at ease. He found a chair, sat down, and happily chatted with his wife.

Meanwhile, on certain V-blog platforms, Mou Yin, and other social media sites, information about machine tools began to surface.

As time passed, discussions started to appear online, and in a certain building in an unnamed city, intense discussions were taking place.

“Boss, what’s going on? One million, a whole one million, the other party sent it without hesitation!” A tall and thin young man was excitedly looking at a young man sitting in an esports chair.

“Don’t be surprised by the uncommon! What’s there to be surprised about? Immediately, arrange all our major V-blog accounts, public accounts, and all our internet water army troops to start discussing. Whether it’s true or not, it has nothing to do with us. If it’s true, we’ll be happy, and if it’s false, we’ll still be happy. After all, the money has already been received. What are you worried about?”

“Yes, Boss, you can rest assured. In the online world, we are among the best!” The tall, thin man excitedly opened a group chat. There were about thirty groups in total, each with thousands of members.

“Brothers, let’s get to work. Same rules as always, one cent for a comment above a certain standard, and if it’s particularly high-quality, a reward of 200. Hurry, get to work!”

The group suddenly became lively, and discussions about domestically developed ultra-precision machine tools on the internet began to gain attention. It quickly attracted the interest of many people.

“President Qin, take a look at this news. It’s gone viral on the internet!” A middle-aged man rushed into Qin Qingchun’s office with a tablet.

“What’s got you so flustered? You’re already a vice president, and you’re still so anxious!” Qin Qingchun said as he became interested in what could make her executives lose their composure.

“President Qin, you have to see this. If it’s true, it’s fantastic news for us!” The middle-aged man’s urgency caught Qin Qingchun’s attention, and she took the tablet from him.

“What is it? Let me see,” Qin Qingchun said with interest. He wanted to know what had caused his senior executive to lose composure.

The senior executive quickly handed over the item in his hand to Qin Qingchun.

“World-class ultra-precision machine tools?!” Qin Qingchun exclaimed in surprise but quickly regained his composure.

“I didn’t expect it. 1 thought you were joking. I didn’t realize you had already developed it!” Qin Qingchun muttered to himself, catching the attention of her executives.

“President Qin, is this really happening?”

“Well, consider me informed. This is our own achievement. Now, don’t get involved with this matter. I will follow up. By the way, don’t talk about it to others!”

The executive nodded, deep in thought, and left the office. Qin Qingchun picked up his phone, thought for a moment, but ultimately didn’t make the call to Zhou Chao.

“I wonder what kind of big move you’re preparing. But it’s sure to surprise a lot of people!”

Meanwhile, many domestic industrial companies had their attention drawn to this piece of information, but many of them just smiled and dismissed it. After all, everyone knew that achieving this level of technology was impossible domestically.

At the headquarters of Fulinhua Xia, in the President’s office, a middle-aged foreigner was playing with a tablet. The information displayed on it was about domestically developed ultra-precision machine tools.

“I don’t know if it’s true or not. If it is, it will bring an unprecedented disaster to our layout in Huaxia. They mentioned that they will participate in the International Machine Tool Expo in Kyoto on the 20th. I just hope this is just a farce!”

For some reason, he had an uneasy feeling in his heart.

Boss, take a look. Our news is already trending!” It was now lunchtime, and Zhou Chao was focused on eating. Lin Wu suddenly shouted.

“What news? Don’t make such a fuss!” Zhou Chao calmly took the phone from Lin Wu’s hand and looked at it.

“Oh, we’ve already reached seventh place in the trending rankings. Not bad, not bad. Keep it up!” Zhou Chao said calmly, as he had already known about this outcome. After all, it was money well spent.

“Boss, aren’t you even a bit surprised?”

“What’s there to be surprised about? We’ve only just started. 1 don’t know how long it will last. It’s best if it can continue until the International Machine Tool Expo on the 20th.”

Seeing Zhou Chao’s calm demeanor, Lin Wu suddenly felt that the food in his bowl didn’t taste as good as before. He had expected the boss to be surprised.

“By the way, Lin Wu, this afternoon, you’ll lead a security team to accompany Chai Lao in transporting the machine tools to Beijing. Be careful on the way, don’t let anything happen, and take good care of Chai Lao too.” Zhou Chao handed his phone back to Lin Wu.

“We’re leaving this afternoon? What about you, boss?”

I’ll head to Jingdu myself when the time comes. Do you think I, such a grown-up, can get lost?” Zhou Chao glanced at him irritably.

“Hehe, who knows!”

Soon, the two finished their lunch. After Lin Wu packed up, he left the car keys of the Alphard with Zhou Chao and left the hotel.

“Today is already the 13th, and there are 6 more days. 1 promised my wife that I’d go back to Jingdu for a visit!” He acted on his words and immediately took out his phone to call Jiang Li.

“Hello, Brother Chao, is there something you need?” Jiang Li, who had just finished lunch and was about to take a nap, received Zhou Chao’s call just as she lay down.

“I plan to return to Jingdu today. How about you come with me?”

“Return today? I’m afraid that’s not possible today. I have a meeting in the afternoon. Tomorrow would be better. I’ll take a flight back tomorrow, and you can pick me up then!”

Hearing Jiang Li’s slightly unhappy tone, Zhou Chao smiled.

“Alright, you focus on your work for now. I’ll pick you up at the airport tomorrow. Is that okay?”

“Okay, Brother Chao, I’ll take a nap now. I won’t talk to you anymore. Remember to pick me up tomorrow. Mua, love you!”

ii

Love you too!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone and started packing.

“I wonder if Shoufu has gained weight. If he has, I’ll make him go for a 5-kilometer run every day when I get back!” As he thought about it, Zhou Chao chuckled.

After packing his things, Zhou Chao called the upscale hotel and arranged for a driver to take him to the airport. He would retrieve his car later.

Once Zhou Chao left the hotel, a stunningly attractive woman was standing in front of his car.

“Boss!”

“Yang Jia, why is it you? Does the hotel not have a driver? Do 1 really need the general manager to personally attend to this?” The person standing in front of his car was the head of the Hilton Hotel in Peng City.

“I had some free time, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to report something to the boss!” Zhou Chao pondered for a moment upon hearing this and then nodded. He opened the car door and got in.

Yang Jia’s face also showed a hint of joy, and she quickly opened the driver’s door and got in.

Soon, the car was heading towards the hotel’s exit.

As they drove on the outer ring expressway towards the airport, Zhou Chao glanced at the meticulous Yang Jia.

“Go ahead, what’s the matter?”

“Boss, I want to request a transfer to another province or city. I don’t want to stay in Peng City anymore.”

“Don’t want to stay in Peng City? What’s the situation? Did something happen?” Zhou Chao frowned. The fact that one of his managers wanted to transfer indicated that she had encountered some difficulties.

“Boss, I…” Yang Jia opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.

“There’s no need to be hesitant. Just say it.”

After a moment of silence, Yang Jia slowly began to explain. Recently, while inspecting the hotel, she had attracted the attention of a wealthy young man. He had been persistently pursuing her, sending flowers and trying to corner her after work.

Through her friends, she learned that this young man had a questionable reputation. If she hadn’t been vigilant and paid attention to every detail, something inappropriate might have happened. That’s why she wanted to request a transfer out of Peng City.

“What’s his last name?” Zhou Chao also became interested. He hadn’t encountered any of the second-generation wealthy in Peng City before.

“The young man’s last name is Ye. 1 heard he’s from a prominent family. So, boss, could you transfer me to another place?”

“Haha, there’s no need to worry. Just relax. Since you are my subordinate, 1 will make sure to protect you. What’s the name of the person who has been bothering you?”

“His name is Ye Qingsong.” Yang Jia blurted it out, clearly feeling quite frightened.

Zhou Chao nodded in response and then took out his phone to call Ye Zhengfeng.

“You brat, what’s going on again? You’re probably on your way to the airport now, aren’t you?”

“Uncle Ye, are you monitoring me? How did you know I’m on my way to the airport?”

“Of course, I have a tracker on you. How could you stay in Peng City without getting bored?”

“Hehe, Uncle Ye, you’re really something.”

“Enough with the small talk. What’s going on?”

Zhou Chao also put away his smiling face and said, “Uncle Ye, one of my managers in Peng City is being harassed by someone from your family. You’ve met her before, the manager from the Hilton Hotel.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengfeng pondered for a moment and recalled the attractive lady in charge they had encountered during their first dinner.

“His name!” Ye Zhengfeng’s expression turned serious.

“Ye Qingsong!”

“Alright, 1 got it. I’ll handle this matter.” After saying this, Ye Zhengfeng hung up the phone, and Zhou Chao could sense the anger in his tone.

After all, every family had its share of black sheep.

“Alright, the matter is resolved. You can relax now.”

“Thank you, boss, thank you!” Yang Jia’s demeanor had changed from the previous worried expression to one of mature and feminine charm.

They soon arrived at the airport, and Zhou Chao didn’t linger. He grabbed his small suitcase and walked inside..
