Upon hearing this, Si Cong clicked his tongue in annoyance, nodding resignedly. “Fine, I’ll find some entertainment myself. Give me a call when you’re done with your stuff. I’ll head off first!”

With that, Si Cong slipped away, leaving Zhou Chao shaking his head slightly at his departing figure.

“Did I forget something?”

After a moment of contemplation, nothing came to mind. He got up, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to the hotel for breakfast.

As soon as he stepped out, he saw Lin Wu leaning against the door, smoking a cigarette.

Seeing Zhou Chao coming out, Lin Wu quickly extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into a nearby trash can. “Boss, good morning!”

Zhou Chao nodded and headed towards the elevator. After a few steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Lin Wu.

“Boss, don’t look at me like that, it makes me nervous!” Lin Wu appeared somewhat uneasy, looking at Zhou Chao’s calm expression.

“Was it you who let that jerk Si Cong in earlier? I knew I forgot something just now.” Zhou Chao glanced at him irritably.

“Boss, I didn’t want to do it either. It’s just that Si Cong called me early in the morning asking me to open the door. I wouldn’t do such a thing normally, but when I wasn’t paying attention, he took your spare key. I didn’t dare confront him!” Lin Wu explained with a hint of grievance.

Watching Lin Wu’s pitiful appearance, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but shiver. “Alright, alright, stop whining like a woman!”

Zhou Chao didn’t want to dwell on the matter. After all, it had already happened. Was he supposed to confront Si Cong and Lin Wu over it? Although he was a bit annoyed at being woken up, it was something he could tolerate.

Arriving at the hotel restaurant, Zhou Chao was surprised to find that they offered a buffet breakfast, with a variety of Inner Mongolian specialties that didn’t affect his appetite.

A bowl of lamb offal soup with a basket of steamed dumplings was Zhou Chao’s breakfast.

Just as he sat down, he saw Lin Wu approaching with a tray, carrying four or five steaming bowls.

Zhou Chao glanced at the spread, impressed by the abundance – a large portion of beef noodles, steamed dumplings, flatbread, and congee with fried dough sticks.

“Do you think you can finish all that?”

“Boss, it’s not my fault. I didn’t eat much last night, and there’s no late-night snack here. My stomach has been growling since last night. I feel like I could eat a whole pig right now!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Eat a whole pig? I think you’re the pig here. Alright, hurry up and eat. It won’t taste good when it gets cold!” With that, Zhou Chao stopped paying attention to Lin Wu and focused on his own meal.

As he was halfway through his meal, Lin Wu’s phone on the table suddenly rang. Seeing this, Lin Wu hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth without chewing.

“Hello, Brother Qian, have you arrived at the scenic hotel? Yeah, I’m having a meal with the boss here in the restaurant. Just come over directly, alright!”

Listening to Lin Wu’s words, Zhou Chao knew that Qian Ge had arrived.

He looked up at the entrance of the restaurant and sure enough, it wasn’t long before he saw Qian Ge leading two well-dressed elite individuals walking in. They glanced around at the entrance, then quickly approached Zhou Chao when they spotted him.

“Boss!” Qian Jin walked up to Zhou Chao, somewhat excited.

Seeing Qian Jin’s tired face and the slight bloodshot in his eyes, Zhou Chao patted the empty seat next to him and said, “You must be tired from the journey, haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Just make do with something!”

“Thank you, Boss!” He nodded slightly and went to get some food with his subordinates.

Initially, he had no idea why Zhou Chao wanted to see him. Before coming here, he had sounded out Ling Chen, but even Ling Chen didn’t know why the boss wanted to meet him specifically.

He had been thinking about it all the way here, but when he saw Zhou Chao, he realized his worries were unnecessary.

As one of the top management figures in the Dragonfly Group, if the boss specifically instructed to see him, it meant there was something important to be discussed, rather than just a casual encounter. To put it bluntly, even if there was to be any reprimanding, it would have been Ling Chen’s responsibility, not his.

After understanding this, Qian Jin felt much relieved.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

With Qian Ge and his two companions present, the atmosphere at the table became somewhat quiet. Zhou Chao wasn’t much of a talker during meals, and the others followed suit, concentrating on their food with lowered heads.

After the meal, Zhou Chao arranged for Lin Wu to take the two elite individuals to rest first, while he accompanied Qian Ge to his room.

“Have a seat!” Zhou Chao gestured towards the sofa and then walked over to the tea table.

Qian Jin didn’t feel awkward at Zhou Chao’s words and simply sat down on the sofa.

While brewing tea, Zhou Chao said, “Originally, I intended for you to go directly to Hohhot to handle the work there. But there are some things I need to explain to you in person, so I specially had you make this trip.”

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin couldn’t help but sit up straight.

“No need to be so formal, relax a bit. Here, have some tea!” Zhou Chao said with a slight smile, placing the brewed tea in front of him.

Although Zhou Chao said so, Qian Jin still maintained a serious posture.

“Ling’s matter, I suppose Ling Chen has briefed you on it before you came. The initial work may be a bit challenging, so I expect you to work hard!”

Zhou Chao’s words implied, and Qian Ge understood. He had prepared mentally before coming. Office politics were nothing out of the ordinary, and he had experience in this regard. Although this time, he was dealing with some influential figures in the domestic business world, he wasn’t worried at all.

“Boss, rest assured, I will definitely integrate well into the Yili family!”

“Well, not only do you need to integrate, but you also need to learn more. Chairman Chen of Yili is not young anymore. It’s uncertain when he will retire and enjoy his retirement. I hope you can hold up the banner when the time comes!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Upon hearing this, if Qianjin still didn’t understand, then there was no need for him to take on the role of CFO of Yili. He might as well go home and raise pigs!

“Thank you for your appreciation, Boss!” Qianjin stood up immediately.

Zhou Chao waved his hand gently, “It’s still too early to say that. Strive to achieve results soon, but remember not to be hasty!”

“Got it!”

The two of them discussed some matters regarding Yili. Qianjin also expressed some concerns, such as previous unreasonable expenses and kickbacks. Zhou Chao gave corresponding instructions.

In summary, since Qianjin took office, Yili couldn’t have any embezzlement or kickbacks.

Since acquiring Yili, Zhou Chao had a sudden idea – to make Yili the world’s number one dairy conglomerate. Although Yili’s sales worldwide currently ranked in the top five, most of it was in China, with only a small portion in East Asia.

Compared to the top three dairy companies, Yili was still like a younger brother. But having a goal gave motivation. Zhou Chao specifically met with Qianjin in the hope that he could completely control Yili in the next two to three years, preparing for his next plan.

“Oh, I have something for you!” Zhou Chao said as he walked towards the bedroom.

Qianjin glanced in the direction of the bedroom and then returned his gaze, calmly sipping his tea.

Soon, Zhou Chao came out with a file bag and handed it directly to Qianjin.

“Boss, what’s this?” Qianjin asked curiously.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“This is a research material on forage. It’s similar to pasture grass, but in some aspects, it’s much stronger than pasture grass. You can research it yourself.”

Qianjin felt a bit puzzled holding the file bag. He wasn’t a research institute, so he couldn’t figure it out himself!

“There’s nothing else for now. I won’t delay you any longer. Take control of Yili as soon as possible. There are still many plans ahead. Don’t delay!”

Qianjin nodded at the words and carefully placed the file bag in his briefcase. After bidding farewell to Zhou Chao, he left the room.

The research material given to Qianjin was one of the several drought-resistant crops signed before. As for why it was given to Qianjin, it was to expedite Yili’s research on high-quality pasture grass. When Zhou Chao’s desert restoration plan succeeded, it would also be the time for Yili to soar!
