“Xiong Lao, Chai Lao, how delightful it is to see you. I wonder whose chess skills are superior between you two!” As Zhou Chao entered the room, he noticed that the two of them were deeply engrossed in a chess game.

Upon hearing the sound, the two of them turned their heads towards the door and saw Zhou Chao and his companions approaching.

“Boss, what brings you here!” Xiong and Chai were quite surprised by Zhou Chao’s unexpected visit.

“I heard that both of you collapsed due to the project. You shouldn’t push yourselves so hard like this in the future!” Zhou Chao said with a slightly serious tone.

“We were just trying to achieve results for the project as soon as possible.”

“You should also pay attention to getting enough rest. Your health is the most important.”

“We understand, Boss!” Xiong Lao replied with a smile.

Zhou Jilong looked at Xu Yu, who was standing there in a daze, and couldn’t help but whisper, “Xu Yu, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and give what you have to Xiong Lao and Chai Lao!”

With a sudden realization, Xu Yu hurriedly took a few steps forward and placed the items he was holding on the table.

“Xiong Lao, Chai Lao, these are supplements specially bought for you by the boss.”

“Boss, you shouldn’t have spent money on us!” Xiong Lao’s smile grew even broader when he saw the valuable supplements on the table. After all, it was heartwarming to know that his dedication was appreciated.

“Don’t worry about the cost; it’s the least I can do.”

“No, 1 happen to be in the car on my way back to the hotel. What’s up?”

“1 contacted the person in charge on the other side regarding the favor you asked of me. I briefly explained the matter, but they didn’t provide a clear answer. They just said they would consider it,” Jack Ma’s words surprised Zhou Chao a bit, but he also gleaned some information from it. This phone call certainly wasn’t made by Jack Ma himself; otherwise, the other side wouldn’t have been so uncooperative.

“It’s alright; i’ll have someone visit them later. If it still doesn’t work, I won’t need to be so diplomatic anymore,” Zhou Chao replied. Whether they were underestimating him or testing his strength, if they remained unwilling, he would have to take a more assertive approach.

Jack Ma burst into laughter. “Being young is a good thing. Young people should show their edge; being too reserved will only make people see through you!”

“Yeah, I understand. Thanks for your help.”

“No problem. If you ever come to Hangzhou, remember to look me up.”

“Sure, I will!”

After hanging up, a cold smile appeared on Zhou Chao’s lips.

“Are they trying to test my strength or underestimate me? Let’s wait and see!”

He dialed another number, this time calling Ling Chen, who was in the distant Fog City.

“Boss!”

“Ling Chen, did you send someone for the task I arranged this morning? What’s the situation now?”

“Boss, I was just about to report to you about this. The other side hasn’t given us a clear response yet. They mentioned that their leadership needs to discuss the matter, so they’ve asked us to wait for two more days.”

Zhou Chao fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then said, “Immediately contact Zhang Ruoyun and transfer the penalty fee to him. Additionally, initiate a plan for a comprehensive acquisition of Hua Hong Film and Television. Purchase all the available shares, and I want to achieve full control, even if we have to pay a premium. It’s also a step towards our entry into the film and television industry.”

“Boss, I understand. Give me three days, and i’ll make sure you’re satisfied..”
