Someone from the Country!

Just as Zhou Chao was leisurely lounging on the recliner playing with his phone, Lin Wu rushed in from outside, loudly calling out, “Boss, the people have arrived. The ones sent from China are here.”

Zhou Chao “whooshed” up from the recliner, and the little tiger lying on his lap flew out. You could even see the bewildered expression on the little tiger’s face. “They’re here? Are they the three cars that Lev mentioned earlier?” Zhou Chao asked Lin Wu as he looked towards him.

“Yes, boss, it’s those three cars. They’ve already arrived at the ranch gate.”

“Let’s go!” Zhou Chao picked up the down jacket placed aside and briskly walked outside, putting on the jacket as he went.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he saw five or six people walking in from the ranch gate. Zhou Chao squinted and recognized a familiar face.

“What the heck, why did he come in person?” Zhou Chao couldn’t believe his eyes, rubbing them to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. He hurriedly went up to greet them.

“Wang Lao, why did you come in person!” The person who came was none other than Wang Yi, the heavyweight figure responsible for China’s external communications.

Zhou Chao never expected that China would dispatch him personally this time. Looking at Wang Lao’s white hair and slightly weather-beaten face, Zhou Chao felt a tug at his heart.

“Haha, why can’t I come? Your matter is related to the future development of the country. I have to come. Besides, I have a good relationship with those two. It’ll be easier to negotiate with them. After all, ‘killing the familiar’!” Wang Lao laughed as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao instantly understood that they were preparing to bring a little “private benefit” into the negotiations about the gold mine. However, Zhou Chao didn’t mind. After all, this was what the country needed, and he believed that the higher-ups wouldn’t let him suffer.

“Wang Lao, rest assured. I will tell my father about this and have him report it to the higher authorities. I know where I stand. You guys are in charge of the negotiations this time, and I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

“Hahaha, when I came, No. 1 specifically mentioned that you are a patriotic youth, with much higher ideological consciousness than many others, a true entrepreneur who sincerely considers the country’s interests. Originally, I was a bit skeptical, but after chatting with you briefly, it’s indeed true!” Wang Lao’s smile was genuinely happy.

Wen Bin, who was beside them, looked at Zhou Chao with a hint of respect in his eyes. He had thought that this young man was merely riding on the coattails of his elders, but now he realized it was his own efforts that had brought him here.

“Wang Lao, please don’t praise me like that. I’m afraid I’ll start floating if you do!” Zhou Chao waved his hand quickly. He appreciated the praise, but if he took it to heart, he might not know how he’d end up in the future.

It’s best to stay humble as a person, which ensures a longer journey.

“Getting back to the point, there are a few things that need to be sorted out. We’ve heard about this from Minister Jiang, but it’s still necessary to confirm everything to avoid any mistakes later on.”

Zhou Chao nodded at this. “Wang Lao, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I have nothing to hide here.”

“Haha, it’s not that serious. Mainly, I just want to clarify some issues regarding the gold mine,” Wang Lao said with a smile.

“Please, go ahead!” Zhou Chao probably understood what Wang Lao wanted to ask.

“The main thing is to confirm whether the value of the gold mine you mentioned before is true, and also whether all the relevant procedures are complete.. We don’t want them to find fault later on!”
