Jiang Li had been away for two days. During this time, Zhou Chao had already moved some of his less frequently worn clothes to Huazhou Junting. He also purchased some furniture and appliances, especially computers. Zhou Chao had painstakingly set up two high-end gaming chairs, spending nearly 400,000 yuan on them. This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

Now, Zhou Chao had returned from Huazhou Junting and was lounging on the outdoor balcony of The Palms Residence, basking in the sunlight.

“Bzz, bzz, bzz!”

Zhou Chao put down his glass of frozen watermelon juice and casually picked up his phone. Glancing at the caller ID, he answered the call.

“Hello, Ling Chen, what’s up?”

“Boss, the arrangements you made earlier have been taken care of. When do you plan to visit Modu University?”

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and then replied, “Today is Tuesday, so let’s schedule it for Friday. 1 won’t be going myself; I’m afraid the university leaders will criticize me behind my back.”

“Hahaha, Boss, you’re worried about that?”

“Well, if I can avoid one headache, it’s for the best. When the time comes, you can handle the arrangements. Also, 1 suggest we hold the job fair after the donation ceremony.”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Ling Chen immediately understood that it was time to start luring talents.

“Boss, I didn’t expect you to be so cunning!”

“You’re the cunning one here. It’s called catering to their preferences!” Zhou Chao chuckled, and both of them burst into laughter.

“Alright, is there anything else? If not, 1’11 hang up.”

“Boss, there’s one more thing. When your identity was exposed at Modu University before, now many prominent families and business leaders in Modu want to invite you for dinner and meet you.”

“Oh, who are they?” Zhou Chao was curious about the people extending invitations.

“You’re right; it’s not early anymore. Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to the venue.” The two of them, along with some school leaders, headed towards the venue.

Upon arriving at the venue, Principal Lan and the school leaders were taken aback. The entire venue was already crowded with students, many of whom were holding their resumes in line.

“Principal Lan, it seems your students are very enthusiastic!” Principal Lan couldn’t help but twitch his mouth upon hearing this. After all, the requests Ling Chen gave were limited to graduate students and above. Principal Lan felt as if he had been poked with a knife because these students were valuable resources that could bring in significant donations and honors for the university.

Ling Chen and the others observed for half an hour, and the enthusiasm at the venue remained high. After a while, one of Ling Chen’s subordinates approached him to report something. Ling Chen then excused himself, as the recruitment process was proceeding smoothly, and the talent he wanted had already been secured. Ling Chen didn’t want to risk being forced to stay by Principal Lan and his team.

“Principal Lan, it’s getting late, and I believe I’m no longer needed here. 1’11 head back to the company now.”

Upon hearing Ling Chen’s words, Principal Lan and the school leaders exchanged a few simple pleasantries and made a slight attempt to persuade him to stay. However, in the end, Ling Chen left with his assistant.

“Principal, if this job fair is a success, we can gain valuable experience. In the future, we’ll be able to bring in a continuous flow of new students and resources for the school!” the Vice Principal excitedly remarked while observing the bustling venue.

“Exactly, exactly!” Many school leaders nodded in agreement.

“Hahaha, indeed, it’s excellent! Well, let’s all get back to work!” Principal Lan’s face bore a hearty smile as he spoke.

The group dispersed and went about their respective tasks.

Meanwhile, a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove away from Modu University, and Ling Chen’s assistant was reporting the progress of their work.

“Director Ling, currently, we’ve recruited 132 graduate students, including 108 master’s students and 24 doctoral students. Most of them are specialized research students. In addition, regarding the task you assigned, we’ve successfully recruited 7 full-time professors and 15 associate professors, all high-level talents in fields like physics, materials, and mechanical engineering. Some of them even lead national-level projects!”

Upon hearing his assistant’s report, Ling Chen’s face lit up with a smile. It could be considered a job well done.

“Great job. When you return, allocate them according to their respective specialties. As for those professors, let’s hold off on assigning them for now. 1’11 discuss it with the boss first.”

“Understood, Director Ling.”

Ling Chen couldn’t help but wonder about the reactions of the school leaders once these personnel left the university.

When Ling Chen returned to the company, it was already 3 PM. He didn’t call Zhou Chao to report yet because the job fair hadn’t concluded. Reporting at this moment wouldn’t serve any purpose.. Instead, he sent a message to Zhou Chao, saying, “Mission accomplished!”
