Chapter 783: You’re a Thief!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Next day, early morning!
The winter in Jingdu was always unpredictable. After a rare two days of sunshine, it began to snow lightly again.
Watching the snowflakes drift outside the pavilion, Zhou Chao leisurely sat in a chair in the backyard, slowly sipping from a cup of Da Hong Pao tea.
His tranquil mont was interrupted by hurried footsteps.
Looking up, he saw Lin Wu rushing out of the house.
“Boss, the person who ca to pick you up last ti is here again, waiting in the living room!” Lin Wu’s voice preceded him even before he reached Zhou Chao.
Zhou Chao glanced at the note on top and took the file folder from Lin Wu’s hands.
Taking the file bag, Zhou Chao opened it in front of Xu Zhengyang.
Inside, there wasn’t anything else but the list of personnel promised by “that person” earlier and the resus of several expert figures. After quickly scanning through the list, he noticed that the resus also ca with a special docunt.
The contents of the docunt were straightforward, instructing all local departnts to unconditionally cooperate with his developnt.
Though its contents seed simple, the docunt was akin to a ticket to wealth, granting unconditional cooperation from local authorities for his developnt endeavors.
However, it held no allure for Zhou Chao. He had zero interest in real estate and certainly couldn’t stoop to such shaless deeds.
After carefully stowing away the docunts and resus, he placed the file folder on his lap.
Observing this, Xu Zhengyang’s eyes registered a hint of surprise.
Though he often accompanied “that person,” he was rarely privy to such confidential matters. Seeing Zhou Chao’s cautious deanor, he realized the significance of the docunt.
“Please tell ‘that person’ that I will expedite the project proposal. Assure him of my commitnt!” Zhou Chao said, catching Xu Zhengyang’s gaze.
Xu Zhengyang nodded and was about to leave when he hesitated, his eyes lingering on Zhou Chao.
Zhou Chao noticed the change in his expression and inquired, “Is there anything else?”
After a mont of contemplation, Xu Zhengyang spoke, “When I ca earlier, ‘that person’ specifically instructed to convey a ssage to you!”
Zhou Chao was montarily taken aback, looking at Xu Zhengyang with puzzlent, awaiting his next words.
“He said, ‘Everything that should be given has been given. You lad, don’t hold back!’ That’s what ‘that person’ asked to tell you!”
“Hmm?”
Zhou Chao nodded in bewildernt, pondering the aning of the ssage. Unaware that Xu Zhengyang had silently departed, he mulled over the cryptic words.
After a while, Zhou Chao realized that Xu Zhengyang was long gone, and Lin Wu had appeared beside him.
“Where’s Xu Zhengyang?”
Lin Wu paused for a mont before realizing that Zhou Chao was referring to the person who had co to find him earlier.
“Boss, he’s already left!”
“Hmm!” Zhou Chao decided not to dwell on it further. Unable to decipher the aning behind ‘that person’s’ enigmatic words, he couldn’t recall making any requests himself!
Why did ‘that person’ always speak in riddles? It was frustrating; they never considered whether he understood their cryptic ssages.
“You go contact Dole. We’re heading back to Modu this afternoon!”
With ‘that person’s’ directive, Zhou Chao couldn’t afford to procrastinate any longer. He planned to return to Modu early and have a thorough discussion with Ling Chen about the future of their AI enterprise.
“Yes, Boss!”
Zhou Chao waved his hand, then took the file folder and headed upstairs.
In the study, he brewed himself a cup of tea and sat quietly, lost in thought, reflecting on Xu Zhengyang’s parting words.
“It seems both old masters have achieved their respective goals. I just wonder what exactly the situation is!”
After so thought, Zhou Chao decided against calling the two old masters for inquiries. It was better to focus on sorting out his own affairs first. As for the matters of the old masters, they would naturally inform him when the ti was right.
Moreover, since the old masters hadn’t called him yet, there were probably still so unresolved issues, or perhaps they felt it wasn’t the right ti.
“Brother Chao, are we flying to Modu today?” Jiang Li’s head peeked in from the door.
Jiang Li’s appearance interrupted Zhou Chao’s thoughts. His serious expression instantly turned into a smile as he walked towards her.
“Yes, we need to handle so matters, so we’re heading back a day early. Do you need to pack so clothes?”
“I’ve already packed!” Jiang Li’s eyes squinted as she smiled, resembling a cunning little fox.
Zhou Chao lightly flicked Jiang Li’s nose and chuckled, “Haha, teasing your husband, are you? Looks like soone needs a lesson!”
“Hehe, not at all!”
Seeing Jiang Li’s mischievous expression, Zhou Chao knew she must have already known about their early return to Modu. It was highly likely she overheard their conversation with Xu Zhengyang downstairs.
“You sly little fox!” Unable to resist, he pinched Jiang Li’s cheek.
Zhou Chao knew that Jiang Li was quite astute about certain things. Even though he hadn’t explicitly told her, through various clues and her innate intuition, she probably had a good idea of what he was up to. However, she never brought it up or questioned him directly, always pretending not to notice.
Jiang Li removed Zhou Chao’s hand from her face, giving him a reproachful look. “You’ve stretched my face out!”
