“Hey, boss!” Ling Chen’s familiar voice came through.
“Ling Chen, you can arrange for those researchers you have found to come to Peng City soon. The public welfare project is also about to kick off. Additionally, you should select some administrative staff and finance personnel in the company, but they need to be reliable and tight-lipped. Take your time to screen them.”
“All right, boss. It’ll just take a bit of time.”
“I understand. Arrange everything by early April.”
“No problem!”
“Okay, when the time comes, transfer two hundred million from the company to the wafer factory. Nothing else for now.”
“Got it. I’ll arrange it once the personnel are here.”
“Great, I’m hanging up.” Zhou Chao ended the call and casually tossed his phone aside. He stretched out on the sofa, a reminder that despite his changed personality, he still preferred lying down at home rather than sitting.
Not long after, Lin Wu and Wang Feng both entered the room.
“Lin Wu, where’s Da Wu?” Zhou Chao looked at the two of them and suddenly remembered Da Wu, who had been sent over earlier.
“Boss, Da Wu is in charge of the evening shift. He’s probably still asleep now.”
“Oh, good. Everything is arranged for the evening?” This material is rooted in n0velbin★
“Yes, it’s all set.”
Zhou Chao nodded in response and didn’t say anything further. Instead, he lay down and started playing a mobile game on his phone.
Lao Xiong and Lao Chai were both shocked by this revelation. If it weren’t for their extensive life experiences, they might have changed their expressions by now.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I hope that in the future, we can help each other and achieve success together in our work. If anyone faces difficulties, remember to report them to higher-ups instead of keeping them to yourselves.”
His voice was not loud, but everyone in the private room heard him clearly and understood his message. The looks in their eyes as they gazed at Zhou Chao contained a hint of unspoken gratitude.
Soon, the doors of the private room were pushed open, and a variety of luxurious dishes were brought in. There were all kinds of delicacies, and some of the researchers couldn’t help but swallow their saliva when they looked at the sumptuous spread. After all, while research was important, their lives might not always be as comfortable.
“Don’t just look, dig in. If you like something, call a waiter for more. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until the next time, which might be when you’re presenting your achievements!”
The entire private room suddenly became lively, but most of them were drinking non-alcoholic beverages or tea. For them, keeping a clear head was crucial, and Zhou Chao agreed with that.
“Xiong Lao, Chai Lao, you should eat too. You don’t have to wait for me to start before you eat. Look at Lao Zhou, he’s already digging in without me saying anything!”
Zhou Jilong was called out by Zhou Chao, and he felt a slight jolt in his heart. He understood that this was a warning from the boss. They were all intelligent people, and they quickly grasped the implied message. The unspoken warning was to remind him to be mindful of his actions, to maintain a proper sense of his role, and not to become too proud or complacent.
“Hehe, isn’t it because the boss arranged such a delicious feast? 1 couldn’t help myself!” Zhou Jilong responded with a smile when he saw Zhou Chao’s reaction. After all, some gentle nudging was necessary to avoid potential issues.
Zhou Chao also picked up his chopsticks, and the dining table regained its liveliness. Everyone chatted and laughed, discussing personal matters and current events.
It took nearly two hours to finish the meal, and many delicious dishes were served multiple times. Every researcher had a smile on their face.
“Lin Wu, have the hotel cars been arranged?”
“They’ve all been arranged.”
“Good, Lao Zhou, you can take them with Lin Wu later. The hotel cars will take you back. Once the dormitories are furnished, I’ll make sure everything else is provided.”
“Thankyou, boss!”
Zhou Chao nodded in acknowledgment. He exchanged a few more words with Xiong Lao and Chai Lao, and then Lin Wu led the group outside. Zhou Chao watched them until they had all left the hotel, then turned and took the elevator back to his own room..
