“Nothing to worry about; you’ll be in charge of receiving guests.”

“Boss, aren’t you planning to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony?” Ling Chen asked in surprise.

“I will be there, but I’d rather not deal with those people.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen nodded thoughtfully.

Zhou Chao turned to Lin Wu, who had been sitting quietly, and inquired, “Lin Wu, how many people do we currently have in the security company, and how many are veterans?”

“Currently, there are about 800 people in the security company, with the majority being veterans. Apart from the 300 in Modu, the rest are stationed in Peng City and Fuxing.”

Zhou Chao fell silent for a moment before saying, “The group is heading in the right direction now, and security for senior management and key personnel needs to be a priority. I’d like to select a team from the security company dedicated to this task. What do you both think?”

Lin Wu stood up excitedly, saying, “Boss, how many people do you need? I can make arrangements today.”

Seeing Lin Wu’s enthusiasm, Zhou Chao raised his hand to calm him down.

“Boss, I think it’s a good idea, especially for Canghai Technology,” Ling Chen added with a serious expression. He understood that Zhou Chao wouldn’t go to such lengths unless there were specific reasons.

“In that case, don’t worry about Canghai Technology; it will be taken care of from above. Tell me your thoughts on the overall configuration,” Zhou Chao said, turning to both of them for their input.

After discussing for about ten minutes, they came up with a suitable plan.

For Ling Chen’s level, three security personnel would be assigned: one as a driver and two for security. Additional staff would be added for special events. For senior management and important researchers at Canghai Technology, two security personnel would be assigned. The only issue they struggled with was determining how many security personnel Zhou Chao should have.

Zhou Chao pondered for a moment and then delegated the task to Lin Wu. “Lin Wu, you handle this. By the way, does the company have any female veterans?” “Female veterans? Yes, we have several, including some who underwent special training.”

Zhou Chao’s fingers tapped the armrest rhythmically. “Select two trustworthy individuals. I want them to protect Jiang Li. Additionally, everyone in charge of security duties has to undergo background checks, and the selection process happens simultaneously.

“Boss, you can trust my team,” Lin Wu assured him with a serious expression.

Zhou Chao nodded, and then he and Ling Chen discussed the current state of the group’s development and important matters to be mindful of in the future. They continued their conversation until around 11 p.m.

“Alright, you both should head back and get some rest. It’s getting late.”

“Okay, Boss, we’ll take our leave,” Ling Chen and Lin Wu said as they got up.

Zhou Chao nodded. Then, Ling Chen and Lin Wu left together. After the two of them had departed, Zhou Chao stretched and lazily made his way upstairs.

However, Lin Wu and Ling Chen didn’t immediately leave the villa; they drove away together.

“Lin Wu, starting now, no matter if the Boss tells you to relax or take a break, you can’t go anywhere. I don’t know what’s going on this time, but the Boss wouldn’t have called me specifically to talk about security if something important hadn’t happened. Just consider this: the Boss even arranged bodyguards for the Lady Boss.” Ling Chen, unusual for him, lit a cigarette as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wu was shaken, realizing that Ling Chen’s words were undoubtedly true.

“I understand. From now on, I won’t leave the Boss’s side.”

“Yeah, arrange the personnel as soon as possible. As for Peng City and Fuxing, I’ll make a call to them. When the time comes, they can make their own selections,” Ling Chen said, casually tossing his cigarette to the ground and stepping on it.

“Alright!” Lin Wu knew that the quality of security personnel in those two locations was considerably better than in Modu. After all, they were part of the original core team.

“Let’s go!” The two of them got into their cars and drove off in different directions.

The following day, in the morning.

“Good morning, Boss!” Zhou Chao had just come downstairs and saw Liuzhi leading two others in cleaning.

“Yeah, there might be guests coming this morning. Liuzhi, go buy some fruits and pastries later.”

“Of course, Boss. I made some porridge this morning. Boss, would you like to have some?” Liuzhi asked respectfully.

“Serve me a bowl,” Zhou Chao said, taking a seat at the dining table.

Soon, Liuzhi returned with a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes.

“You can go buy the things now,” Zhou Chao said as he began eating his breakfast.

After just a few bites, his phone, placed on the table, started ringing.

“Hello, Si Cong. Is there something urgent for you to call this early?”

“Didn’t you ask Ling Chen to call me and say that you’d meet my old man today? You haven’t forgotten, have you?”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao twitched his lips. “Come on, it’s not even 9 o’clock in the morning yet. Are you planning to have breakfast at my place?”

“No, I was just checking where you are. Later, my dad and I will come over to find you,” Si Cong replied. Zhou Chao had no reservations about Wang Jianlin’s visit. Despite Lao Wang’s significant reputation in China, when it came to wealth and influence, Zhou Chao outstripped him by a long shot. It was only natural for him to pay a visit.

Without hesitation, Zhou Chao said, “Sure, I’m at Junzhou Huating. You know the location.”
