Although the voice was not loud, Zhou Chao and the others heard it clearly, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes. They didn’t expect this uncle from the pasture to have such a personality.

Muren opened his mouth as if to say something, but it turned into a simple response, “I understand, Uncle Akexi.”

“Alright!” Akexi nodded and headed downstairs, but his once straight posture seemed slightly bent now.

After coming down from the building, the group exchanged a few words before Akexi bid them farewell and headed towards his ranch alone.

Watching Akexi’s figure recede, Si Cong remarked, “Didn’t expect such a sturdy man to bow down like that!”

“What else could he do, confront a rock with an egg? Akexi may seem like a tough guy, but he’s as clear-minded as a mirror inside. Anyway, let’s settle in first, and we’ll discuss further once we’re back!”

Zhou Chao also felt somewhat melancholic; encountering troubles while on a trip was disheartening.

“Xiao Hei, would you mind taking us to the hotel?”

“Not at all, not at all!” Xiao Hei, who had just finished a large piece of melon, was a bit bewildered at the moment, not fully digesting the information he had just heard.

Under Xiao Hei’s guidance, Zhou Chao and the others arrived at the hotel in the scenic area. Surprisingly, the rooms in the hotel were quite spacious and decorated with Mongolian characteristics, which added to their charm.

After settling in, Xiao Hei bid them farewell and hurriedly left. Standing by the window, watching his departure, it seemed like he was headed towards the Huitengxile Grassland.

Withdrawing his gaze, Zhou Chao turned to Si Cong behind him and said, “Do we have any acquaintances here? Investigate the situation, and check the identities of those people.”

Si Cong looked at Zhou Chao with surprise. He knew Zhou Chao rarely got into trouble unless he encountered something that truly angered him.

“Did those youngsters provoke you?” Si Cong asked with some confusion.

“Yeah!” Zhou Chao nodded lightly. Just thinking about those arrogant young men filled him with anger. This time, they needed to be properly educated.

“Alright, I’ll arrange for someone to investigate immediately. It may take some time,” Si Cong replied.

“No problem, just go ahead and arrange it. Let me know if there’s any difficulty.”

Si Cong nodded and turned to leave Zhou Chao’s room. After a few steps, he seemed to remember something and turned back, asking, “Young Master Zhou, what if those young men’s parents are unwilling to cooperate?”

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Chao’s mouth, his tone cold, “Coincidentally, there’s a vacancy in the group’s dairy company. Isn’t it just a gift sent to our door?”

Hearing this, Si Cong couldn’t help but shiver, silently praying for those young men to fend for themselves!

The weather in the northwest changed as capriciously as the temperament of a woman from Fog City.

As evening approached, Zhou Chao suddenly noticed that snowflakes were falling from the sky, and they were getting heavier and heavier. In less than half an hour, the visibility outside was reduced to a vast expanse of white.

Fortunately, the hotel was well-equipped, even with heating. This surprised Zhou Chao, as supplying warmth on the grassland required considerable effort.

During dinner, Si Cong received a phone call. It was from the person who had been sent to investigate the matter in the afternoon. After a few words, he hung up.

While Zhou Chao was still wondering if something had happened, he heard Si Cong say softly, “Young Master Zhou, we’ve got the identities of those people. I’ll send the information to your WeChat later.”

“Mm!”

After dinner, Si Cong and Lin Wu followed Zhou Chao to his room.

“You guys have a seat first. Let me take a look at the information,” Zhou Chao said, sitting on the sofa and checking the data Si Cong had sent him on his phone.

These young people were all sons of shareholders of Yili Dairy, but none of them were major shareholders. Together, their shares amounted to only about twelve percent. However, since Yili was valuable, each of these shareholders had fortunes in the tens of billions. Backed by the giant tree of Yili, they could afford to be arrogant!

Moreover, these youngsters were not very old. The oldest among them had just turned twenty, while the others were around eighteen or nineteen. Although they looked young, they were all experienced in love, with a succession of women by their sides!

Zhou Chao didn’t know how Si Cong managed to gather such detailed information. Even the details of their outings with girls in the past month were thoroughly investigated. It was indeed impressive!

“Excellent job. With such detailed information, don’t tell me you collected it all in just a few hours this afternoon!” Zhou Chao looked at Si Cong meaningfully.

“Ahem, why wouldn’t it be? Young Master Zhou, don’t you trust my abilities?”

“Just a few hours to gather such detailed information. Do you think I would believe that? Did you directly approach people close to them?”

“How did you know?” Si Cong exclaimed, then immediately regretted his words.

He lightly tapped his mouth. Why couldn’t he keep his mouth shut? He had wanted to play it cool but ended up revealing everything!

Seeing Si Cong’s reaction, Lin Wu chuckled beside him.

“Alright, tone it down a bit. Is it really that funny?” Zhou Chao glanced at Lin Wu, and the laughter instantly subsided.

“Young Master Zhou, how do you plan to handle this matter, openly or discreetly?” There was a hint of prayer in Si Cong’s eyes.

If they handled it openly, they would have to show off, but if they did it discreetly, he could shamelessly cling to Zhou Chao’s thigh and make a hefty profit.

Zhou Chao didn’t know about Si Cong’s little schemes, but he still thought for a moment. “Let’s handle it openly. Tomorrow, you’ll directly contact the chairman of Yili and demand an explanation. If they can’t explain it clearly, then we’ll play hardball!”

For Zhou Chao, who had a cash flow of hundreds of billions, apart from a few rare companies in the country, no other group had as much cash flow as his. The larger groups didn’t even come close, and the smaller ones were even less of a threat. When it came down to it, they were all his little brothers.

“Young Master Zhou, you’re putting too much faith in me. If it’s my dad who steps in, it’s a bit better. But if it’s me, a junior, who has to make that call, I’m afraid I’ll only end up offending people. And there’s a high chance they won’t even bother to respond to me!” Si Cong shook his head at the thought of making the call himself.

As it turned out, Si Cong’s reasoning was quite sound. Their statuses were not on the same level. If Si Cong really made that call, he would likely offend people. While the chairman of Yili might not say anything outwardly, he would probably take note of it in his heart.

“Okay, I’ll make the call myself tomorrow. That should work, right?” Zhou Chao shook his head somewhat helplessly, but at the same time, a thought popped into his mind. What if the chairman didn’t recognize him? Would it be awkward?

For a moment, Zhou Chao felt a bit melancholic. After pondering for a while, he decided that he would invite the chairman out for a meal in the name of the Dragonfly Group. Whether he was willing to come or not, he probably wouldn’t refuse!

After figuring out how to handle the situation, Zhou Chao sent Si Chen a message, briefly explaining his thoughts. As for obtaining the contact information of the chairman of Yili, that was as simple as it could be.

The two of them discussed Zhou Chao’s ideas for almost half an hour, finally refining them to perfection.

Zhou Chao took out a cigarette from his pocket and stood by the window, quietly smoking.

Suddenly, he remembered the system that he hadn’t opened in a long time. Zhou Chao silently recited in his mind, “System check-in!”

“Check-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained…”
