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

Chapter 748: The End of the Matter!
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Ah, these folks really can hold their liquor. They polished off twelve bottles of baijiu, and now my head’s spinning!” Zhou Chao sat on the sofa in the room, rubbing his temples.

It was already nine in the evening. Chen Li and Liu Yun, accompanied by their driver, had already returned to Hohhot. As for those three young lads, they seemed to have conveniently forgotten everything.

As for whether Liu Yun and the others would come back to settle the score, Zhou Chao didn’t really care anymore. After all, he had achieved his objective.

After tonight’s drinking session, Zhou Chao’s relationship with Chen Li and the others had improved significantly. Despite being forced to drink quite a bit, he understood that it was their way of venting frustration. Well, he had it coming, given how he had outsmarted them.

Zhou Chao wasn’t worried at all about whether Chen Li and Liu Yun would play tricks behind his back. He had not only showcased his background but also presented them with visible benefits.

After discussing with everyone in the afternoon, Zhou Chao decided to entrust Yi Li with the management of his shares in the three world-class dairy companies. Of course, this was just management. Zhou Chao did this to provide Yi Li with a better opportunity for development, allowing her to learn from the top three dairy companies in the world and explore various forms of cooperation.

Zhou Chao’s thirty percent stake in each company made him the largest private shareholder. His words are extremely important for those three enterprises, as they were crucial to the future development of the companies.

It could have been said that any opinions Zhou Chao held regarding the dairy industry would change the landscape of the global dairy industry.

“Boss, have a glass of honey water to sober up!” Lin Wu placed a cup of water on the table.

Zhou Chao lifted the cup and drank it all in one go, feeling the honey water soothing his throat and slightly easing his headache.

“Has everything been arranged?”

“Boss, everything has been explained to President Ling. The relevant personnel have already set off from Modu. The person in charge is Qianjin. In addition, President Ling mentioned that he wants Qianjin to handle the later financial work for Yi Li and wanted to hear your opinion.”

Lin Wu recalled the evening’s conversation with Ling Chen over the phone, occasionally wondering if he had said anything wrong.

“Qianjin?” Zhou Chao murmured.

As the former president of the Hilton Greater China Region, Qianjin’s capabilities were beyond doubt. If he couldn’t handle the financial work for Yi Li, he wouldn’t have risen to that position. Zhou Chao wasn’t worried at all about Qianjin’s ability to handle the financial work for Yi Li.

He just hoped that his sudden arrival at Yi Li wouldn’t cause any friction with Chen Li, Liu Yun, and the others.

Where there were people, there was a community. As a leader parachuted into the headquarters, if Qianjin couldn’t blend well with the original leadership team, it was inevitable that some trouble would have arisen.

“Alright, I agree with Ling Chen’s suggestion. Give him a call and tell him that any arrangement is fine, but some reminders are necessary. Also, ask Qianjin to come here tomorrow. There are some things I need to discuss with him.”

Lin Wu was a bit puzzled by Zhou Chao’s words. Scratching his head in confusion, he asked, “Boss, what does that mean? Should I just relay your words to President Ling as they are?”

Zhou Chao smiled and shook his head at Lin Wu’s puzzled expression. “You, oh you,” he chuckled softly before continuing, “Just tell Ling Chen exactly what I said. Also, ask Qianjin to drop by tomorrow. There are some matters I need to discuss with him.”

“Alright, Boss, I’ll take off now!” Lin Wu also realized it was getting late. As for the tasks the boss assigned, he could handle them when he got back to his room.

“Okay!”

After Lin Wu left the room, Zhou Chao stretched lazily. Whether it was because of drinking a bit too much or because things had ended satisfactorily, drowsiness overwhelmed him in an instant.

After taking a shower, he climbed into bed. As soon as he turned off the light, he drifted into dreams.

Meanwhile, Chen Li had long returned to his home in Hohhot. He sat languidly in a luxurious mahogany chair, holding a half-burnt cigarette in his hand. There were five or six cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table.

“Sigh, it seemed like I had it too easy these past few years, forgetting the eternal laws of the business jungle. I wondered if Yi Li’s future was really as promising as he said, becoming the leader of the global dairy industry!”

As the cigarette burned out, Chen Li extinguished it. Slowly standing up, perhaps having figured something out, he murmured softly, “Whether it was success or failure, you had to try. What if it actually happened? After all, I couldn’t change the current situation!”

A hint of a smile appeared on Chen Li’s face as he brushed off the ash from his body and strode towards the bedroom.

—————–

Early the next morning, Zhou Chao was still in the midst of slumber when Si Cong pulled him out of bed.

“What were you doing so early today? It was only eight in the morning. Did you have something important to do? And how did you get into my room?”

Zhou Chao, dressed in white pajamas, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, glaring at Si Cong.

Feeling the piercing gaze from Zhou Chao, Si Cong awkwardly coughed and quickly changed the subject, “Young Master Zhou, I was thinking since our tasks were done, should we continue with our trip?

“It might have to be postponed for a while. Today, someone from the Modu headquarters is coming to handle Yi Li’s affairs. I need to brief them on some matters. After we’re done, we can set off again. If you have nothing to do, you can go visit the Huanghua Valley and enjoy the scenery here.”
