Chapter 749: The End of the Matter! (2)

Upon hearing this, Si Cong clicked his tongue in annoyance, nodding resignedly. “Fine, I’ll find some entertainment myself. Give me a call when you’re done with your stuff. I’ll head off first!”

With that, Si Cong slipped away, leaving Zhou Chao shaking his head slightly at his departing figure.

“Did I forget something?”

After a moment of contemplation, nothing came to mind. He got up, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to the hotel for breakfast.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Lin Wu leaning against the door, smoking a cigarette.

Seeing Zhou Chao coming out, Lin Wu quickly extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into a nearby trash can. “Boss, good morning!”

Zhou Chao nodded and headed towards the elevator. After a few steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Lin Wu.

“Boss, don’t look at me like that, it makes me nervous!” Lin Wu appeared somewhat uneasy, looking at Zhou Chao’s calm expression.

“Was it you who let that jerk Si Cong in earlier? I knew I forgot something just now.” Zhou Chao glanced at him irritably.

“Boss, I didn’t want to do it either. It’s just that Si Cong called me early in the morning asking me to open the door. I wouldn’t do such a thing normally, but when I wasn’t paying attention, he took your spare key. I didn’t dare confront him!” Lin Wu explained with a hint of grievance.

Watching Lin Wu’s pitiful appearance, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but shiver. “Alright, alright, stop whining like a woman!”

Zhou Chao didn’t want to dwell on the matter. After all, it had already happened. Was he supposed to confront Si Cong and Lin Wu over it? Although he was a bit annoyed at being woken up, it was something he could tolerate.

Arriving at the hotel restaurant, Zhou Chao was surprised to find that they offered a buffet breakfast, with a variety of Inner Mongolian specialties that didn’t affect his appetite.

A bowl of lamb offal soup with a basket of steamed dumplings was Zhou Chao’s breakfast.

Just as he sat down, he saw Lin Wu approaching with a tray, carrying four or five steaming bowls.

Zhou Chao glanced at the spread, impressed by the abundance – a large portion of beef noodles, steamed dumplings, flatbread, and congee with fried dough sticks.

“Do you think you can finish all that?”

“Boss, it’s not my fault. I didn’t eat much last night, and there’s no late-night snack here. My stomach has been growling since last night. I feel like I could eat a whole pig right now!”

“Eat a whole pig? I think you’re the pig here. Alright, hurry up and eat. It won’t taste good when it gets cold!” With that, Zhou Chao stopped paying attention to Lin Wu and focused on his own meal.

Zhou Chao’s words implied, and Qian Ge understood. He had prepared mentally before coming. Office politics were nothing out of the ordinary, and he had experience in this regard. Although this time, he was dealing with some influential figures in the domestic business world, he wasn’t worried at all.

“Boss, rest assured, I will definitely integrate well into the Yili family!”

“Well, not only do you need to integrate, but you also need to learn more. Chairman Chen of Yili is not young anymore. It’s uncertain when he will retire and enjoy his retirement. I hope you can hold up the banner when the time comes!”

Upon hearing this, if Qianjin still didn’t understand, then there was no need for him to take on the role of CFO of Yili. He might as well go home and raise pigs!

“Thank you for your appreciation, Boss!” Qianjin stood up immediately.

Zhou Chao waved his hand gently, “It’s still too early to say that. Strive to achieve results soon, but remember not to be hasty!”

“Got it!”

The two of them discussed some matters regarding Yili. Qianjin also expressed some concerns, such as previous unreasonable expenses and kickbacks. Zhou Chao gave corresponding instructions.

In summary, since Qianjin took office, Yili couldn’t have any embezzlement or kickbacks.

Since acquiring Yili, Zhou Chao had a sudden idea – to make Yili the world’s number one dairy conglomerate. Although Yili’s sales worldwide currently ranked in the top five, most of it was in China, with only a small portion in East Asia.

Compared to the top three dairy companies, Yili was still like a younger brother. But having a goal gave motivation. Zhou Chao specifically met with Qianjin in the hope that he could completely control Yili in the next two to three years, preparing for his next plan.

“Oh, I have something for you!” Zhou Chao said as he walked towards the bedroom.

Qianjin glanced in the direction of the bedroom and then returned his gaze, calmly sipping his tea.

Soon, Zhou Chao came out with a file bag and handed it directly to Qianjin.

“Boss, what’s this?” Qianjin asked curiously.

“This is a research material on forage. It’s similar to pasture grass, but in some aspects, it’s much stronger than pasture grass. You can research it yourself.”

Qianjin felt a bit puzzled holding the file bag. He wasn’t a research institute, so he couldn’t figure it out himself!

“There’s nothing else for now. I won’t delay you any longer. Take control of Yili as soon as possible. There are still many plans ahead. Don’t delay!”

Qianjin nodded at the words and carefully placed the file bag in his briefcase. After bidding farewell to Zhou Chao, he left the room.

The research material given to Qianjin was one of the several drought-resistant crops signed before. As for why it was given to Qianjin, it was to expedite Yili’s research on high-quality pasture grass. When Zhou Chao’s desert restoration plan succeeded, it would also be the time for Yili to soar!
