“No, boss, I definitely wasn’t implying anything!” Lin Wu shook his head vigorously.

Just as Zhou Chao was about to say something about Lin Wu, his phone rang in his pocket.

Taking it out, he saw that the caller ID was Wang Lao.

“Hello, Wang Lao, what’s up?”

“Didn’t interrupt your fun, did I?” Wang Lao’s tone carried a hint of cheerfulness.

“Well, I do want to have fun, but unfortunately, there’s too much going on. After wrapping up things at the Zhuhai Air Show, I came back to Modu. There’s still a lot of work waiting for me to handle at the company!”

Zhou Chao didn’t hold back on painting a pitiful picture. After all, the crying child gets the milk. If he didn’t act pitiful, Wang Lao might not remember his kindness.

Wang Lao on the other end of the line twitched his mouth at Zhou Chao’s words. If he didn’t know Zhou Chao well, he might have actually believed those words.

“Alright, alright, I know you’ve been working hard. I called you today because there’s something I need to tell you!”

“Wang Lao, go ahead!” Zhou Chao became serious upon hearing that there was something important.

“The situation with the oil field earlier was a bit unpleasant. I just wanted to ask what your plans are. Oh, and your pets will be arriving in a couple of days. Lin Wu should have informed you about this!”

“Yes, Lin Wu did inform me about the pets. I’ll arrange it as soon as possible.

“As for the oil field, I’ve already made arrangements. I plan to develop it myself. I’ve heard that this industry is quite complex, so I want to see how deep the water really is!”

After Zhou Chao finished speaking, there was silence on the phone, except for the sound of their breathing.

After about five or six seconds, Wang Lao’s voice came through.

“Alright, if you have any questions, let me know anytime! By the way, the situation with your overseas mining site has been resolved. You’ll receive the information soon.”

“Thank you, Wang Lao!” Zhou Chao expressed his gratitude.

Indeed, he had to thank Wang Lao for this matter. Otherwise, he would have had to expend a lot of energy himself.

Although he could handle it himself, it was better to have one less thing to worry about.

After some brief chit-chat, Wang Lao hung up due to some sudden business.

As expected, just after hanging up, Li Wei’s phone call came in. As Wang Lao had said, it was to report on the situation with the mining site.

Zhou Chao repeatedly instructed Li Wei to be careful, as Africa was not like China, where things were relatively chaotic.

Although he wasn’t afraid of trouble, he also didn’t want to invite it.

He also instructed Li Wei on the handover of the dozen or so mines to Ling Chen.

After discussing these matters, Zhou Chao became conflicted.

“Lin Wu, when those animals arrive, where should I place them? Should I buy a zoo?”

“Boss, you’re rich and capricious, do whatever you want!”

Zhou Chao gave Lin Wu a disdainful glance. “Hmph, well, now you’re resorting to these unconstructive remarks!”

Lin Wu was about to explain, but he saw Zhou Chao dialing his phone again, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back.

The call was quickly answered.

“Hello, boss!” A deep voice came through.

“Tang Mingming, I called you today for one thing. I remember the club has a horse ranch, right?”

This call from Zhou Chao was to Tang Mingming, the person in charge of the Kyoto Golf Club.

“Yes, boss!”

Tang Mingming was also puzzled, why did the boss suddenly ask about this? Was he planning to expand the horse ranch?

“Well, I received some animals from a friend of mine in Maohuang. I’m not sure where to place them for the time being, so I’m thinking of setting up a small zoo at the club.”

“A zoo? Actually, boss, you don’t need to build it near the horse ranch. There’s a large piece of unused land at the club, which could be used to build the zoo. It’s right at the foot of the mountain!”

Zhou Chao carefully recalled and indeed remembered that there had been such a vacant piece of land all along!

“Alright, you arrange it immediately. Try to get the zoo set up in these few days!”

“Ah~” Tang Mingming was quite surprised. How could a zoo be built in just a few days?

But soon he realized that as long as the money was there, and with a tight construction schedule, there was still enough time, after all, it was just a small zoo.

“Understood, boss!”

Zhou Chao didn’t say much more and hung up the phone. He believed Tang Mingming would handle it.

“Sigh, I said we’d come out for a leisurely stroll, but who knew I’d end up making three phone calls!” Zhou Chao said somewhat ruefully.

Lin Wu seemed oblivious, staring straight ahead.

Following Lin Wu’s gaze, Zhou Chao saw a group of sexy, well-dressed beauties dancing to the music in the square ahead, with several men holding various equipment beside them, presumably shooting short videos.

A mischievous smile played on Zhou Chao’s lips as he opened the video function on his phone and whispered, “Lin Wu, are those girls pretty?”

“Very!” Lin Wu nodded dumbly.

But in an instant, he snapped out of it and quickly turned his head, only to see Zhou Chao recording with his phone.

“Boss!!”

“Ah, the weather’s really nice today. We’ve been out for about an hour, the car should be washed by now. Let’s go!”

Pretending not to have noticed, Zhou Chao got up and walked away, heading back in the direction they came from..
