“Second Brother, you’re really something. You abandoned us at the hotel and went home to sleep. Do you know my girlfriend called me early in the morning, asking where I was? Luckily, 1 didn’t do anything outrageous, or I’d be in big trouble!”
Zhou Chao looked at his phone on the pillow, letting Li Yang complain on the speakerphone.
“You were all completely wasted last night. What could I do? I did my best to get you guys to the hotel safely. If you don’t want to thank me, that’s fine, but don’t disturb my beauty sleep early in the morning. Is it my fault?”
Listening to Zhou Chao’s shameless defense, Li Yang hadn’t figured out how to counter him yet, so he could only sigh deeply.
“Next time you take me to the hotel, remember to tell my wife.” Upon hearing Li Yang’s words, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

“Okay, that’s it, I’m hanging up.” Zhou Chao ended the call, looked at the time on his phone, which had already reached 10 o’clock, yawned, and got up from the bed.
“Phew!” He stretched, feeling like he was starting to rust all over. Getting up from the bed, he changed into sportswear and headed straight to the gym.
It had been a while since he had exercised, and Zhou Chao went straight to the treadmill and started jogging slowly.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Chao had been in the gym for nearly two hours, and the heat radiating from his body was like a steam engine.
“Huff… huff!” After completing the final stretch, Zhou Chao set down the exercise equipment and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel. His sports shirt had become drenched, accentuating the contours of his muscles.
He drank an energy drink in one gulp to replenish the lost fluids in his body, stood for about five minutes, feeling that he had returned to normal, and then walked towards the bathroom.
Ever since his first experience in a bathtub, Zhou Chao had switched to using a thermostatic one. He found immense relaxation in soaking in its warm waters, and as time passed, he grew fond of this indulgence.
As he put his phone aside, it rang at an inopportune moment. The incoming call was from Zhou Jilong, who was far away in Peng City.
“Lao Zhou, is there something you need?” Zhou Chao slid his finger across the screen, answered the call, and turned on the speakerphone.
“Boss, we’ve already dismantled all the machines that can be used on our side. They’ve been transported to Fuxing by train, and our personnel will set out tomorrow!”
Hearing this, Zhou Chao sat up from the bathtub and placed the phone on the side, asking, “How many usable machines are left in the factory now?”
“It’s basically useless, just a bunch of scrap metal.”
“Alright, 1 got it. Leave one person here to coordinate with the incoming team. You can send me the details later.”
“Okay, Boss!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone, pondered for a while, then walked out of the bathtub, dried himself, and put on a bathrobe.
He walked straight into the study, sat in the chair, and absentmindedly tapped the desk with his fingers. Zhou Chao was deep in thought.
“It seems 1 need to find a professional and reliable construction team. This will be crucial for my future plans.” Zhou Chao immediately thought of Qin Qingchun and whether Sany Group had a reliable construction team.
He took out his phone and called Qin Qingchun in Hunan Province.
“Boss, what made you call me all of a sudden?” Qin Qingchun, who had just finished dinner and was about to rest, was a bit surprised.
“Lao Qin, does the group have a reliable construction team? I’m planning to build a high-level factory.” Qin Qingchun was curious about what kind of factory would make the boss personally call him, so he was filled with curiosity.
“Boss, our group has a construction company with over ten years of experience in the field. 1 believe they are capable. But may 1 ask, what type of factory are you planning to build?”
“A semiconductor wafer fabrication plant. I want to create the most advanced wafer manufacturing facility in the country.”
“A semiconductor wafer plant!” Zhou Chao heard the surprise in Qin Qingchun’s voice, and he calmly smiled.
“Boss, this is something that very few can handle in the country. You…”
Zhou Chao understood that Qin Qingchun was doubting his capabilities.
“Don’t worry. I have the most advanced technology and production lines. All 1 need is the factory. Please arrange for someone to inspect the site in Peng City as soon as possible. Get the design drawings ready, and have the construction team start preparations.”
“Understood, Boss. I’ll arrange it right away. Also, Boss… for future projects like this, can you take me along?” Qin Qingchun said this sentence and felt his face flush. He didn’t even know how he managed to say it.
“We’ll see how you perform,” Zhou Chao replied with a smile and then hung up the phone. He also sent Qin Qingchun the phone number that Zhou Jilong had given him, asking him to send someone over as soon as possible to take over.
After handling this series of matters, Zhou Chao realized that he was quite hungry. He had searched around but couldn’t find anything satisfying to eat. It was already past 1 o’clock in the afternoon, so he reluctantly changed into a fresh set of clothes and grabbed his keys to head out.
Instead of driving, Zhou Chao walked out of the residential area and found a roadside stall nearby. He ordered a plate of fried rice, which was a simple way to fill his stomach.
“All, I’m so rich now, and I’m still eating like this every day!” Zhou Chao finished the last bite of fried rice and patted his slightly filled belly, jokingly complaining.
After paying, he held a toothpick in his mouth and walked toward the large supermarket next to The Palms Residence. He planned to buy some snacks and fruits to enjoy while playing games.
“If I had known I was buying this much, 1 might as well have ordered online!” Zhou Chao grunted as he struggled to walk out of the supermarket with two large bags.
“Huff… 1 don’t recall buying much, how did I end up with these two huge bags?” He glanced at the bags that reached his thighs, gritted his teeth, and carried them as he walked back to the residential complex.
“I’m exhausted, my hands are all red from carrying these bags!” Zhou Chao lay down on the sofa, examining the indentations on his fingers caused by carrying the heavy bags.
After resting for a while, Zhou Chao organized the snacks and fruits, putting items that needed refrigeration in the fridge and others in the pantry. He selected a variety of fruits and snacks, arranged them on a plate, and then carried the plate to his study.
“The Black Rose, long time no see, I’m back!” Zhou Chao logged into his gaming account with ease. He noticed that the season had ended, and his rank had dropped to Platinum IV. However, he didn’t mind and immediately entered the ranked mode.
Zhou Chao played continuously until 5:30 in the afternoon. His rank had climbed back to Platinum IV, and he even achieved several Pentakills, leaving him in a jubilant mood.
“Phew, playing alone is not that fun. I should find someone to team up with!”
Zhou Chao stretched on his gaming chair and yawned..
