As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

Chapter 727: Is This a Sun Tzu Strategy? No, I’m Doing It for His Own Good (2)

“Hey, why is it snowing?” Si Cong walked out of the store with Keke.

Turning back to look at the bags in their hands, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. It seemed like there was no need to roam around the street.

“It looks like the snow will continue for a while. How about we head back to the hotel?” Zhou Chao didn’t feel like continuing to stroll around. After all, who would want to watch someone show off in front of them?

“Let’s grab a meal first. Keke told me there’s a century-old shop on this street with pretty good food. Shall we give it a try?”

Zhou Chao didn’t refuse, and soon, they followed Keke to the old shop.

Several specialties of Hohhot were soon served, but what truly tantalized Zhou Chao’s taste buds was the representative dish of Hohhot’s cuisine – hand-pulled lamb.

Even though they had been eating things like lamb skewers and lamb spine these past few days, it didn’t diminish Zhou Chao’s love for it.

Midway through the meal, Zhou Chao remembered that he had something to attend to the next day. “Si Cong, I have some business to take care of tomorrow. You’ll be on your own!”

“You go ahead and take care of your business. Just give me a call when you’re done!” Si Cong casually replied. He already knew that Zhou Chao’s main purpose for coming here was business.

He didn’t inquire about what Zhou Chao wanted to do, but Si Cong understood that if Zhou Chao personally made a trip to Hohhot, it must be something important.

Sometimes, it’s better not to ask too much!

After the meal, Zhou Chao initially wanted Lin Wu to settle the bill. Unexpectedly, Keke took the initiative to pay. This action made Si Cong very happy.

“Ah, wool comes from sheep. I wonder how much money our Si Cong will spend in the coming days!”

Back at the hotel, Zhou Chao and Si Cong exchanged a few words before heading back to their respective rooms. Before parting ways, Zhou Chao saw Si Cong’s radiant smile and shook his head speechlessly.

Whoever made him so pure-hearted! (Blame it on the author for writing about a single female lead. I wish I could be a groom every day and spend every night with a bride. Mothers-in-law are everywhere!)

Just as he returned to his room and lay down, Zhou Chao received an email from Miles, which was the summary report he had asked for earlier. After a brief glance, he had Xiao Guo make a video call to Ling Chen.

At this moment, Ling Chen had just finished doing household chores and was soaking in the bathtub, playing with his phone. A graceful figure was dancing on the screen. Yes, the renowned president of the Dragonfly Group was watching a live stream of a beautiful girl dancing, and it was in the dance section!

Ling Chen tapped the screen a few times, and he heard the excited voice of the girl saying, “Thank you, Brother Chen, for sending the five super rockets. Love you!”

Ling Chen smiled and picked up the red wine beside him, but suddenly, the screen went black. Ling Chen frowned, muttering to himself, “Huh, what’s going on?”

The next moment, Zhou Chao’s face appeared on the phone screen.

“Oh, taking a bath, huh? Seems like it’s not the best time for my video call!” Zhou Chao teased as he looked at Ling Chen’s half-exposed body.

“Boss!” Ling Chen looked surprised at first, but instantly understood what was going on. Most likely, the boss had instructed the intelligent system Xiao Guo to invade his phone directly.

“I have something to discuss with you. Try to handle it quickly. Also, stop watching live streams and dancing. It’s not good for your health!” Zhou Chao finished and hung up the call.

Ling Chen looked at his phone, bewildered. The next moment, a roar echoed through the entire bathroom, “Boss, you’re a real dog!”

After hanging up, Zhou Chao’s face was still filled with a smile. “Wow, I didn’t expect Ling Chen, who usually looks so serious, to enjoy watching live streams, especially from the dance section. Hmm, not bad at all!”

But then again, having such a hobby wasn’t a big deal. Although Ling Chen was already worth over a hundred million, he hadn’t found a wife yet, and his personal life was quite clean. It was normal to have such hobbies.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Ling Chen’s video call finally came through. However, when Zhou Chao answered the video call, Ling Chen’s expression, which seemed ready to chop someone, was not disguised in the slightest.

“Ahem, done with your bath?” Zhou Chao said somewhat awkwardly.

Ling Chen complained, “Boss, can you please give a heads up next time? Your sudden appearance scared the living daylights out of me!”

“It won’t happen again, it won’t happen again!”

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen softened his previous resentful expression. “Boss, is there something important?”

“Well, it’s not exactly very important. Today, Miles called me and said he managed to negotiate quite a few projects over in Saudi. I checked and it seems to be true. I’ll send you an email to take a look. After you’ve read it, let’s discuss your thoughts!”

After saying that, Zhou Chao had Xiao Guo directly send the email over.

Previously, Zhou Chao had already copied a duplicate of Xiao Guo’s system for Ling Chen. Ling Chen had also installed it on all his devices, making sharing files a simple and quick process.

After looking through it for a while, Ling Chen said, “Boss, after reviewing it, most of these projects are in the construction sector. Our group doesn’t have much involvement in this area. If we were to take charge ourselves, it might require a considerable amount of effort.”

“Yeah, I’ve considered that too. I was thinking of bringing someone else on board to handle it, and we’ll just oversee the management.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Chen’s mind instantly conjured up a name.
