In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. In another seven or eight days, the New Year would arrive. During this period, the bond between the small orange cat and Zhou Chao grew stronger, and the cat’s body became more robust.

“Lin Wu, get ready to head back to Modu. Xiao Wu, you stay here to take care of Shoufu. Oh, and bring a few bottles of Domaine Romanee Conti with you.”

“Yes, boss.” Soon, Lin Wu and the others began to prepare. Only Xiao Wu stood there, looking somewhat forlorn.

“Alright, I’ll be back in a few days.” Zhou Chao patted Xiao Wu’s shoulder.

In no time, Lin Wu and the others were ready. Lin Wu held four wooden boxes in his hands.

“Shoufu, I’ll be back in a few days. Behave well at home.” Zhou Chao rubbed the small orange cat’s head, then stood up and left with the group.

Xiao Wu saw Zhou Chao and the others off at the airport before driving back, after all, there was still a “little boss” at home.

“Lin Wu, have you taken care of the checked baggage? Make sure nothing gets damaged by the time we return to Modu.”

“Boss, it’s all taken care of. You can rest assured.”

“Alright, let’s go, it’s time to board the plane.”

Two and a half hours later, at Modu’s Hongqiao Airport.

“Lin Wu, come with me. Wang Feng, you and Da Wu head back to the old villa. We’ll arrange your work in a couple of days.”

“Yes, boss.” Wang Feng and Da Wu left in the Maserati.

“Let’s go too.” Lin Wu quickly placed the wine in the trunk and drove the Phantom back to The Palms Residence.

Upon entering, Zhou Chao lounged on the couch. He had always desired a life of luxury, free from worries, rather than constantly traveling between Jingdu and Peng City.

“All, it looks like 1’11 have to rely on daily check-ins to keep myself entertained.” Zhou Chao glanced at his phone, realizing he hadn’t checked in for over half a month.

“System, check-in.”

“Check-in successful. Congratulations, host, you have acquired the Modu Global Financial Center Tower. Contact details have been sent to the property manager.”

Less than five minutes later, Zhou Chao’s phone rang.

“Hello, boss. This is Li Xiang, the manager of the Global Center Tower.” Having worked at the tower for ten years, Li Xiang had witnessed its development. Now that there was a change in ownership, he felt a mix of anxiety and uncertainty.

“Oh, Manager Li. What’s the matter?”

“I wonder if President Zhou has time to come and inspect.”

“We’ll see. If 1 have the time, I’ll come take a look. I’ll give you a call when I’m ready. For now, the company won’t undergo any changes.”

“Alright, boss.” Li Xiang sighed with relief after hanging up. At least, his current job was somewhat secure.

“Lin Wu, you’ll accompany me to the company tomorrow.”

“Sure, boss.”

After some consideration, Zhou Chao decided to call Ling Chen.

“Hello, Ling Chen.”

“Boss, is there something you need?” Ling Chen was surprised to receive a call from Zhou Chao.

“Tomorrow at 2 PM, notify the company’s senior management to have a meeting. I have something to announce.”

“Alright, boss. I’ll inform them immediately.”

“Okay, that’s it.” Staring at the disconnected call, Ling Chen pondered for a while but couldn’t figure out the situation. Nonetheless, he arranged for his secretary to notify the senior management about the meeting.

The next morning, Zhou Chao arrived at the company with Lin Wu. Ling Chen had just brewed a cup of tea when the office door swung open.

“Boss, why have you come so early?” Ling Chen was astonished to see Zhou Chao at the company so early.

“How’s the entertainment company you set up doing?”

“Boss, we’ve already signed contracts with over ten internet celebrities, but only five of them are showing promising results. We’ve also invested nearly ten million in the initial stages for promotion.”

“I see. So, the initial focus was on making videos. How are the teams for the talent we’ve signed?”

“Don’t worry, boss. Each internet celebrity has been assigned a dedicated team. We’ve written scripts tailored to their strengths and characteristics.”

“Alright. Are they all at the company now?” Zhou Chao suddenly became curious about the internet celebrities Ling Chen had signed.

“Only a few of the most popular ones are here. The rest are at different locations.”

“Oh? Tell me more about the situation.”

“Boss, as the company has grown, the number of employees has increased significantly. We’ve utilized the entire floor we rented earlier, so I’ve secured a smaller office space elsewhere.” Hearing Ling Chen’s explanation, Zhou Chao understood the situation.

“Understood. I’ll search for more appropriate office spaces in the near future. Now, let’s proceed. We’ll assess the accuracy of our CEO Ling Chen’s insights!” Ling Chen promptly rose from his seat, guiding Zhou Chao towards the exit.

Soon, they arrived at the entertainment company’s office space. They pushed open the door and entered.

The internet celebrities and their teams who were originally chatting fell silent when they saw Ling Chen enter.

Zhou Chao looked at the familiar faces in the crowd. These individuals would soon become popular on Mou Yin’s short video platform. He didn’t expect Ling Chen to have such a keen eye for talent.

“Boss, let me take them to the meeting room. It’s a bit crowded here.” Zhou Chao glanced around at the nearly twenty people, realizing that the space was indeed quite cramped.

“Sure, let’s go to the meeting room.” Zhou Chao turned and headed towards the meeting room, while Ling Chen quickly summoned a few internet celebrities.

The ones called out were feeling nervous. After all, Ling Chen had become the CEO of the company, and they rarely interacted with him. Everyone was guessing what the situation might be.

Inside the meeting room, silence filled the air. Seeing this, Ling Chen promptly handed the documents to Zhou Chao and began the introduction.

Taking the documents, Zhou Chao glanced through them. These five women were all incredibly beautiful, and he had seen them on the internet in his previous life.

“Zhong Ting, Zi Ran, Peng Shiliu, Wang Erlang, Dai Gula K – these individuals will all become internet celebrities with millions of followers.” After briefly perusing the documents, Zhou Chao looked up at the group.

“This is the company’s boss, President Zhou!”

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly stood up and greeted Zhou Chao, “Hello, President Zhou.”

“Alright, everyone, please sit down. 1 don’t like beating around the bush. I have high hopes for all of you, and the company will invest heavily in your development. However, I don’t want any backstabbing or discord among you. If you have any opinions or suggestions, feel free to communicate them. Clear?”

“Yes, President Zhou.” The women all stood up upon hearing this.

“Well, I’ll arrange dedicated office spaces for each of you as soon as possible. But 1 hope you won’t let me down. Alright, go back to work for now.”

After the women left the meeting room, Zhou Chao turned his gaze to Ling Chen, making Ling Chen feel a bit uneasy.

“Boss, why are you looking at me like that?”

“Ling Chen, your perception is impressively on point. Do you have any particular intentions? Let me clarify that if you’re genuinely pursuing someone, I won’t interfere. However, if I discover any inappropriate relationships within the company, be cautious, as 1’11 address the matter firmly!” While Zhou Chao’s tone appeared playful, Ling Chen understood it carried a warning.

“Boss, you can trust me.” Ling Chen quickly stood up to reassure him.

“I was just teasing you. Why are you so nervous? Alright, go about your business. Don’t forget we have a meeting this afternoon..”
