Chapter 793: The Journey to Fog City (3)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
During the conversation, Zhou Chao understood why he didn’t see the parents of Brother Hu and his wife. It turned out they had spontaneously organized a group trip, claiming it was to give the couple some private space.
Upon hearing this reason, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smile. Most young couples went on honeymoons, but here at Brother Hu’s place, it was the older generation going out to play.
Time passed slowly amidst the chatter, and soon it was noon.
The luncheon was specially customized by Brother Hu from a well-known private kitchen in Modu. Overall, the dishes were delicious, on par with the top private kitchens Zhou Chao had tried before.
After lunch, Zhou Chao didn’t linger at Brother Hu’s place for long. After receiving a call from Ling Chen, Zhou Chao hastily left with Lin Wu.
Watching the two leave in their car, Yuan Hong, who came to the garage with Brother Hu to see Zhou Chao off, exclaimed excitedly, “Brother Hu, let’s go home and see what gift Young Master Zhou gave!”
“Huh, you seem even more eager than me!” Brother Hu teased, though his curiosity was no less.
Back home, they found Xinin and a group of friends sitting on the sofa, occasionally exclaiming in surprise.
“Oh my, this contract is worth twenty million!”
“Mine is even more, a whopping thirty million!”
Hearing these voices, Brother Hu and Yuan Hong looked puzzled.
Seeing the two enter from the door, Xinin waved excitedly at Brother Hu, “Brother Hu, come and take a look. Young Master Zhou’s gift is incredibly precious, worth a staggering five hundred million!”
Brother Hu hurried over and picked up one of the contracts on the table.
Originally, Jiang Li came to Modu with him, hoping to have a good time for a few days. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law called last night, urgently summoning her back to Jingdu, claiming there was something urgent. Zhou Chao had no choice but to arrange a private jet to send Jiang Li back to Jingdu overnight.
Later, he learned that his father-in-law was worried that he would take Jiang Li around and not take the matters above seriously, so he sent Jiang Li back. He repeatedly urged Zhou Chao to finish the matter quickly before returning!
Thinking about this, Zhou Chao felt bitter. He had already made up his mind. After arriving in Fog City, he would hand over all the matters to Ling Chen to handle, so he could relax and be a hands-off boss.
As the saying goes, “You have your Zhang Liang strategy; I have my wall-scaling ladder!”
Under the guidance of airport staff, the group boarded a shuttle bus to the private apron, attracting many gazes along the way.
When the plane landed in Fog City, it was already four in the afternoon.
Under the scrutiny of many eyes, Zhou Chao and the others boarded the waiting car and left the airport.
“Ling Chen, any plans for tomorrow?” Zhou Chao leaned against his hand, lazily gazing at the scenery outside the car window.
“I’ve already contacted the leaders in Fog City. We have a meeting at ten tomorrow morning. Also, boss, here’s the plan we’ve prepared. Due to time constraints, it’s only a rough plan. We need to confirm the details after discussing with Fog City.”
Ling Chen explained as he took out a document from his bag and handed it to Zhou Chao.
Zhou Chao glanced at the chosen address on the plan with some confusion.
“Why Xiantao Data Valley?”
Looking at the address selected in the plan, Zhou Chao glanced at Ling Chen with some doubt.
“The reason?”
Hearing this, Ling Chen quickly explained, “Boss, based on the actual geographical environment, various resources, and big data, I’ve calculated it with Xiao Guo. Xiantao Data Valley is currently under construction. Although it’s a bit smaller than we expected, it’s enough to meet our initial needs. Plus, it’s close to the main city, but not heavily populated around. We can easily access all the resources we need there.”
