Zhou Chao spent another two days in Modu, mainly to handle some matters related to the group.

During this time, they finalized the location for the future headquarters of the group, which would be in the Zhangjiang High-Tech Development Zone in Pudong. There were three high-rise buildings under construction there, along with their subsidiary buildings. The main structures had already been completed. Zhou Chao had acquired them directly through his connections with Zhang Wenxuan’s family in Modu. Construction was now proceeding at a rapid pace, with an estimated completion date by the end of October.

“Ling Chen, proceed with the foundation and company matters as per our previously established plan. Regarding the spokesperson, contact Brother Hu. By the way, have the funds from Si Cong and the others been transferred?” “Boss, the funds have already been deposited. I’ve also met with the relevant personnel. We’re just waiting for the process to be completed before we make the official announcement. Would you like to return for the ribbon-cutting ceremony when the time comes?”

“We’ll see when the time comes. I won’t tell you whether i’ll be in Modu or not for now. I’m about to board a plane. Call me if there’s anything.”

“Understood, Boss!”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao got on the shuttle that had been waiting by the plane for some time and headed straight for his private aircraft.

In less than half an hour, Zhou Chao’s private jet took off from Pudong Airport, heading towards Peng City.

Zhou Chao looked at the photo album in his hand, flipping through it continuously and occasionally pausing to examine some of the pictures more closely.

“You won’t believe it, but Ruoyun is quite thoughtful. I mentioned it casually before, and she managed to get me a complete collection. Each photo even has signatures. Impressive!” Zhou Chao was holding the Mingzhen Great Collection, a favor he had asked from Zhang Ruoyun. She had sent it to him a while ago, but he hadn’t had the time to go through it properly.

Every photo in the album was signed by the respective actors, with the most signatures from the Double North duo. Zhang Ruoyun had indeed put a lot of effort into collecting them. When he returned to Jingdu, he could give Jiang Li a pleasant surprise. After all, his wife was a fan of the Mingzhen series.

Watching Zhou Chao’s delighted expression, Lin Wu, who stood nearby, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, “The boss is just an ordinary person too. Just like everyone else, he has his favorite celebrities and hobbies.”

Suddenly, Lin Wu remembered something and hurriedly said, “By the way, Boss, Zhang Ruoyun got married a few days ago, in Ireland. Didn’t you know?” “Ruoyun got married? Why did she go all the way to Ireland? Ah, 1 should’ve known from the way you said it.” Zhou Chao looked at Lin Wu with a hint of annoyance. He knew he didn’t pay much attention to these things, and now Lin Wu was teasing him. It seemed like he would have to keep a closer eye on these matters in the future. He still had time for some surfing every day.

Seeing the meaningful look in Zhou Chao’s eyes, Lin Wu’s heart skipped a beat. Oops, he had just said the wrong thing. The boss wasn’t a petty person; he wouldn’t hold it against him, would he?

“Ahem, Boss, 1 mean, I’m constantly keeping an eye on people and things that you approve of. I’ll report any new developments to you promptly.”

“Oh, is that so?” Zhou Chao looked at Lin Wu, slightly shifting his tone.

“Yes!” Lin Wu nodded vigorously, feeling like he was pounding garlic.

“You didn’t tell me earlier, why did they go to Ireland to get married?”

Lin Wu thought for a moment, recalling the information he had seen in the news. He said, “I heard that Ireland is the only country in the world where divorce is prohibited. Maybe Zhang Ruoyun wanted to make the most heartfelt commitment to her partner.”

“That’s interesting!” Zhou Chao rubbed his chin with his right hand. From this perspective, it seemed that his judgment was still pretty good.

“When we get to Peng City, let’s take some time to pick out a gift for Ruoyun. She got married, and as friends, we should show our support. Remind me when the time comes!”

“Got it, Boss!”

Zhou Chao nodded and then lowered his head to read his book. In recent days, he had also found time to use his skills to enhance his knowledge in physics. He was now confident that he could serve as a professor-level mentor at any university.

After more than two hours of flight, Zhou Chao had finished reading the book in his hands. His current reading style was rapid, allowing him to absorb information at a glance and remember it well. He aimed to swiftly fill in the gaps in his relatively scarce knowledge.

Upon exiting the airport, they immediately spotted the unmistakable figure of Wang Feng standing on the roadside, craning his neck to look around.

Wang Feng, upon seeing Zhou Chao and Lin Wu walking out of the airport, hurriedly ran towards them. “Boss, you’re finally here!”

Zhou Chao furrowed his brow. “Is something happening with Canghai over there? I haven’t received any calls.”

Wang Feng hesitated for a moment and then explained, “Oh, nothing has happened. It’s just that Professor Lanling made a significant breakthrough in his research, and Old Zhou has been eager for you to review it every day.”

“Good, that’s a relief.” Zhou Chao replied and headed towards the car.

Behind them, Lin Wu’s face darkened as he sternly said to Wang Feng, “If you speak like that again in the future, I’ll send you back to Modu to train new recruits.”

Seeing Lin Wu’s serious expression, Wang Feng realized he had been disrespectful. Even though the boss didn’t mind, he had overstepped his bounds.

“Brother Wu, I know I was wrong.”

“Hmph, I hope you remember that just because the boss has a good relationship with us and treats us like brothers doesn’t mean you can be on the same level as him. Your attitude has become too lax!” Lin Wu patted Wang Feng on the shoulder and quickly walked towards Zhou Chao.

Wang Feng remained standing in place, dazed for a moment. He had grown accustomed to flattery from his subordinates, and now he was finding it difficult to determine his position..
