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

Chapter 673: Sowing the Seed of Miracle! (2)

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“The idea is good, but it’s not practical. Where in China can you find such a large piece of land for your use? Besides, just buying the land alone would cost a considerable amount!” Ling Chen explained to him.

“Who said there isn’t? There are plenty of such places in the country, and buying land there won’t cost much.”

Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, then asked, “Where?”

“In the desert! Look at all the deserts in our country, you can find one easily!” Lin Wu said with a playful smile, then took a few steps to the side, fearing that Ling Chen might kick him.

When Zhou Chao heard “desert,” his mind instantly flashed back to the desertification soil conversion technology he had obtained from a previous check-in.

If he could turn the desert into an oasis and build a unique sci-fi city on it, replicating the fantasies from sci-fi movies into reality, it would be exhilarating just to think about it.

Although the idea sounded good, implementing it would be quite difficult. Just the desertification soil conversion technology alone couldn’t be researched and developed in a short time.

Even if it were developed, transforming the desert into normal soil would take a considerable amount of time. This idea had to be temporarily put on hold.

“Alright, back to the point. The suggestions Lin Wu made earlier are quite good. Xiao Guo is indeed suitable for use at Canghai Technology!” Zhou Chao said as he listened to the conversation.

Hearing Zhou Chao speak, both Ling Chen and Lin Wu stopped fooling around.

“It is indeed much better than using it at Dragonfly Group, but boss, you can’t favor one over the other. You know, Dragonfly Group is your own flesh and blood!” Ling Chen, who had been serious at first, suddenly turned pitiful.

Seeing Ling Chen’s sudden change of expression, Zhou Chao’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

If other people in the group had seen this scene just now, they would have laughed their teeth out.

“Don’t worry, 1 will definitely take care of you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have personally come to the headquarters.”

“Really?” Ling Chen exclaimed with surprise.

Zhou Chao ignored him and said to Xiao Guo on the screen, “Xiao Guo, create a subsystem with the highest authority set for Ling Chen!”

“Okay, Brother Chao!” Xiao Guo obediently replied.

As soon as Xiao Guo finished speaking, the screen flashed. Ling Chen, who had been quite anxious, felt relieved. After all, there were many important files stored on his computer.

But soon, Ling Chen’s anxiety dissipated as he saw a small version of Xiao Guo appear on the screen, being scolded by Xiao Guo.

“Alright, Xiao Guo, stop playing around. Let him and Lin Chen get to know each other first. You go back to my phone for now!” Zhou Chao instructed.

“Okay, Brother Chao!” Xiao Guo disappeared from the screen and Zhou Chao’s phone lit up.

Seeing Xiao Guo lying on the screen, watching them.

Zhou Chao didn’t pay much attention, stood up from his seat, and gestured to Ling Chen to come over and sit down.

Ling Chen, who had been eagerly awaiting, “whooshed” over and sat down on the chair excitedly, watching the little figure on the computer screen.

Ling Chen, who had been waiting eagerly, quickly sat down on the chair, excitedly watching the little figure on the computer screen.

“Hello, I’m Little Xiao Guo. Please take care of me in the future!”

“Nice to meet you!” Ling Chen’s smile was almost splitting his face.

Zhou Chao looked at Ling Chen, who had transformed into a pig-like figure, and somewhat helplessly covered his eyes, unsure if his decision was right or wrong!

Seeing Ling Chen immersed in the interaction, Zhou Chao directly said, “That’s enough, stop making that pig face, your saliva is almost dripping onto the table!”

“Who’s drooling?” Although he denied it with his mouth, Ling Chen still obediently wiped his mouth with his hand.

Seeing Lin Wu beside him laughing uncontrollably while covering his mouth, Ling Chen finally realized that he had been fooled by the boss.

“Ling Chen, I will set up a program for Little Xiao Guo. It can only be used to handle the group’s affairs and cannot be used for any other purposes. Also, the existence of Little Xiao Guo must be kept confidential!”

Hearing this, Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood. He knew the boss was afraid he would go too far.

“Boss, do the senior executives of the group also need to keep it confidential?”

Zhou Chao didn’t rush to answer. After thinking for a moment, he said, “No need to keep it confidential. Set them as administrators and announce that this is an intelligent system developed by our company!”

Ling Chen didn’t immediately understand. He was told to keep it confidential, but now he was asked to announce it publicly. Wasn’t this contradictory?

Seeing Ling Chen furrowing his brows, Zhou Chao realized he hadn’t explained it clearly and quickly said, “I’m not asking you to expose Little Xiao Guo. I want Little Xiao Guo to create a slightly more advanced intelligent system than what’s currently available on the market.”

“Oh, does it have this function?” Both Ling Chen and Lin Wu looked puzzled as they looked at Zhou Chao.

“You can think of artificial intelligence as ‘Skynet.’ They are omnipotent on the Internet. Making an intelligent system is simply a piece of cake for them, but the corresponding hardware needs to be equipped!”

Ling Chen nodded vaguely, having a rough idea of what was going on.

“Take your time to explore it. You’ll understand in a few days!” Zhou Chao knew he couldn’t explain everything at once, so he let Ling Chen figure it out himself. “Oh, by the way, boss, there’s a little problem with the foundation!” Ling Chen remembered the report he had received that morning and hurriedly spoke up!

“The foundation? What’s the problem?” Zhou Chao frowned slightly. Did someone below him try to slip money into his pocket?

“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that some people in certain areas are stopping the construction of Hope Primary Schools. They hope we can directly distribute the money intended for school construction to them!” Ling Chen explained.

Hearing this, Zhou Chao burst into laughter. This kind of thing wasn’t new. He had seen it on the internet before.

Some seniors who went deep into the grassroots to help the local poor found ways for them to get out of poverty, arranging pigs, sheep, and other things for the poor to raise. Who would have thought that they would end up eating them all?

They even claimed that they couldn’t get enough to eat. What’s the point of raising those things?

Although Zhou Chao used to see it as a joke, he didn’t expect such a thing to happen to him.

“We must not tolerate such behavior. Once is enough, so we must not set a precedent. First, try to persuade them. If they remain obstinate, cancel all support plans for the area!” Zhou Chao said firmly.

Evil deeds come from the mountains and rivers. There are too many people who want to gain without labor. If you don’t show them a little toughness, they’ll take advantage of it.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s somewhat cold expression, Ling Chen, who wanted to persuade him again, quickly shut his mouth.

“I understand, boss. I will have the person in charge there arrange it immediately!” Ling Chen replied.

Zhou Chao nodded lightly. His originally cheerful mood was somewhat disturbed by this matter.

“You handle it. I’m going back!” Zhou Chao didn’t have the mood to stay any longer. He decided to go back and continue researching artificial intelligence. “Boss, let me walk you out!”

“No need, you go ahead with your work!” Zhou Chao waved his hand and left the office with Lin Wu.

As soon as they reached the elevator, they noticed that one of the elevators was stopped on the 28th floor. Zhou Chao and Lin Wu stepped in directly.

“Huh, boss, why isn’t this elevator stopping? Is there nobody holding it up? It’s unusual for this time!”

Lin Wu glanced at the time. It was almost midnight, and normally it should be crowded at this time. But they didn’t stop at any floor on their way down to the first floor.

Zhou Chao glanced back at the elevator’s surveillance camera, a meaningful smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “Do you believe that Ling Chen is probably watching us from his office right now?”

Lin Wu instantly understood. It seemed that Ling Chen was behind this.

Indeed, Ling Chen was sitting in front of the computer at that moment, watching Zhou Chao and Lin Wu leave the lobby with excitement on his face.

“Artificial intelligence is amazing! No wonder hackers love to manipulate things online. This sense of control is incredible.”

He hadn’t enjoyed his excitement for long when suddenly the computer screen froze, and then a line of text appeared.

‘Playing around is fine, but don’t get addicted!
