Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The following day, Zhou Chao and his wife woke up early, although it wasn’t exceptionally early; it was already half past nine.

Yesterday, they were both engrossed in their own activities. By evening, Zhou Chao felt he could put up a fight. They battled until nearly midnight, with Zhou Chao eventually conceding defeat.

Thinking about the triumphant laughter from Jiang Li last night, he felt a pang of humiliation. It had only been less than half a month since the roles had reversed so swiftly, and it brought tears to his eyes just thinking about it. “Brother Chao, what are you pondering so deeply?”

“Oh, nothing!”

Zhou Chao discreetly reached for his waist, massaging it as it still ached slightly.

Jiang Li caught sight of Zhou Chao’s subtle movent and couldn’t help but cover her mouth as she giggled.

“You’re laughing at ? Don’t forget who was that person who kept calling ‘Brother, I want more! Otherwise, why would I…’.”

“Hmph! Wasn’t it soone who initially promised to deal with ? The result was nothing but a defeat!”

“Just wait! It’s just a matter of ti!”

They playfully tussled in the bedroom for a bit, then got dressed, did a quick cleanup, and headed out of the house.

Zhou Chao observed the Lamborghini Veneno exiting The Palms Residence before driving it directly towards the group’s headquarters located at Jinmao Building.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the underground parking lot of Jinmao Tower. Jiang Li, who had been excited initially, now wore a worried expression on her face.

“What’s wrong, my dear?”

“Brother Chao, I’m a little nervous. What if 1 can’t handle it?”

Zhou Chao patted Jiang Li’s head and reassured her, “Don’t worry. This is our own company. If you’re not satisfied or unhappy here, you can always switch to another one. Besides, considering your skills, you’ve excelled even as a village intern official before. 1 have full confidence in you now!”

“Okay,” Jiang Li replied with determination in her eyes.

“Alright, let’s go!” Zhou Chao said as he patted Jiang Li’s hand and then opened the car door to step out.

Exiting the car, Zhou Chao held Jiang Li’s hand as they headed towards the elevator.

As soon as they entered the company, they were noticed by the receptionist.

“Good morning, boss!”

“Hello!”

Without lingering too long, Zhou Chao led Jiang Li to Ling Chen’s office. Within a short ti, news of the company’s boss arriving with a beautiful woman had spread throughout the entire organization.

“Do you think she might be our future lady boss?”

“I have no idea, but 1 heard our boss has never had a woman around him before, not even in a vague way!”

“It seems like she’s probably our lady boss. Our boss and her are a perfect match! If only I were the one by the boss’ side!” A certain infatuated woman held her head and daydread.

“Okay, okay, stop discussing this. Let’s focus on our work! If the boss hears about this, you’ll be in trouble!”

Soon, the entire office area returned to its busy state.

Zhou Chao led Jiang Li straight into Ling Chen’s office. Ling Chen, who was engrossed in reading docunts, didn’t notice Zhou Chao’s arrival.

“Ahem!” Zhou Chao cleared his throat to get Ling Chen’s attention.

Ling Chen, who was reading the docunts, heard the cough and quickly raised his head. He saw Zhou Chao and a beautiful woman standing beside him. “Boss, you’re here! This is…”

“This is my legal wife, Jiang Li!”

Jiang Li and Ling Chen exchanged greetings briefly, and then they all sat down on the nearby sofa. Ling Chen asked his assistant to bring in two glasses of lemon water since he knew Zhou Chao wasn’t fond of coffee or anything like that.

“Boss, 1 was actually preparing to report sothing to you. I didn’t expect you to co to the office so soon.”

“There’s sothing 1 need you to arrange. You can go ahead and tell what it is.”

Ling Chen got up and walked to his desk, bringing back so docunts he had been reading earlier.

“Boss, regarding the tasks you assigned to earlier, there’s progress. These docunts contain information about tech-oriented talents who are either interested or have already been negotiated with. However, as you ntioned, the top-tier experts haven’t been recruited yet.”

Zhou Chao took the docunts and looked them over. He noticed that most of them were mid-level technical talents, just as Ling Chen had described. There were no high-level executives among them, but Zhou Chao seed reasonably satisfied with the progress.

“No problem, everyone has their expertise. In this area, you have limited exposure, so it’s understandable that you couldn’t recruit top-notch tech talents from major companies and groups. I’ve arranged for soone else to handle this, and he has connections in the industry, making talent acquisition relatively simple. Get these individuals on the list settled in as soon as possible. Peng City’s infrastructure is almost ready, and we need these personnel to co on board.”

“Alright, Boss, rest assured. Many of them have already completed their departure procedures, with only a few still in the process, but that will be resolved in the next few days.”

“Good, I trust your work. By the way, 1 brought you here today to discuss the arrangents for Jiang Li’s job.”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Ling Chen smiled and said, “Boss, is this what you want to arrange?”

“I plan to have Jiang Li learn and work at the Public Welfare Division for a while. Please see if there are any available positions.”

Ling Chen contemplated for a mont upon hearing Zhou Chao’s request. He wasn’t sure of the boss’ intentions but decided to go along with it. He suggested, “Boss, how about inviting the head of the Public Welfare Division for a discussion?”

“Sure, go ahead and call her over.” Ling Chen summoned his assistant and instructed her to contact Xiao Wei and request her presence at the headquarters. The assistant left the office to make the call.

As the conversation continued in the office, Zhou Chao and Ling Chen chatted, while Jiang Li listened quietly as a bystander.

“Ling Chen, your child must be in elentary school now, right?”

“Yeah, little Lang just started this year. He’s quite sensible, which saves a lot of trouble.” Speaking of his son, Ling Chen showed a rare gentle smile on his face.

“You should consider finding a wife again. The group is now running smoothly, and you’re still young. Your personal life should be taken into consideration.”

Ling Chen scratched his head in embarrassnt. “I’ve already found soone, his elentary school teacher. We got to know each other when I accompanied him to school for the first ti, and things developed from there. She also likes my son, so we confird our relationship a few days ago.”

“Wow, you managed to keep it a secret. If we hadn’t talked about it today, would you have told at all?”

“Boss, you’re always so busy. I couldn’t call you just to share this news,” Ling Chen replied with a hint of embarrassnt.

“Haha, 1 didn’t expect the usually serious Ling Chen to have such a soft side.”

Even Jiang Li couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Ling Chen’s sowhat vulnerable appearance.

Just as they were having a good ti, the assistant entered and said, “Boss, Mr. Ling, Xiao Wei, the head of the Public Welfare Division, has arrived.”

“Let her in!”
