“You’ve got things under control, and 1 trust you to handle them. 1 won’t bother you at work anymore. 1’11 hang up now,” Zhou Chao said before ending the call. He wholeheartedly agreed with Jack Ma’s advice about young people needing to be assertive.

From recent events, it seemed like he had been too lenient, and sof his subordinates were starting to take liberties. While none had shown signs of disloyalty yet, this wasn’t a situation he wanted to allow to fester. It was tto change his approach.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Wu couldn’t help but steal a glance at Zhou Chao sitting behind him. He sensed a change in his boss after those two phone calls, but he couldn’t quite pinpoint who else might have changed recently.

“Boss, are we heading back to the hotel now?” Lin Wu asked, seeking confirmation even though Zhou Chao had mentioned it during the call.

Zhou Chao, with his eyes closed, replied, “Yes, back to the hotel. Call Xu Yu and the others, have them return to Canghai. Tell them to pick up the pace, especially with the tasks assigned today. If there are still matters to resolve during our next visit to Canghai, let Xu Yu go hto feed the pigs.” “Understood, Boss!” Lin Wu replied before taking out his phone and relaying Zhou Chao’s instructions to Xu Yu and the rest.

Soon, Xu Yu’s car and the other two vehicles were heading in the direction of Canghai as they passed through an intersection.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Chao had just reclined on the sofa and closed his eyes when his phone on the table rang again.

Seeing Zhou Chao’s closed eyes, Lin Wu quickly picked up the phone to check the caller.

“Boss, it’s Uncle Ye.” Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt

Zhou Chao immediately sat up and took the phone from Lin Wu. A call from Ye Zhengfeng was unusual; it typically signaled something important.

“Hello, Uncle Ye!” Zhou Chao answered the call, wondering what was going on, as Ye Zhengfeng rarely contacted him unless there was a reason.

“Xiaochao, no need to rush! Are you busy now?”

“Not really, Uncle Ye. What’s going on?”

“Have you talked to Li Wei recently?”

Zhou Chao’s mind raced as he realized that he hadn’t spoken to Li Wei in a long time. Since sending him to the Fuxing Steel Plant, he hadn’t checked in on the situation. Could something have gone wrong? Read Web s Online Free - Fire Fire -

“Uncle Ye, 1 trust Li Wei’s capabilities. Has something happened at the Fuxing Plant?”

“Something happened? If anything had gone wrong, I’m afraid you would be the first to receive a call, not me. You should be more careful with your big moves; you’re stretching yourself thin.”

Zhou Chao felt more perplexed by Ye Zhengfeng’s words. Could Li Wei have cacross a significant issue that warranted a call?

“Uncle Ye, please don’t keepin suspense. What exactly has happened?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengfeng becdispleased. “You, young man, are quite something. Are you treatinglike your secretary now? You don’t even know how your own company has developed. Isn’t that embarrassing?”

“Con, Uncle Ye. Don’t tease me. Just tellwhat’s going on,” Zhou Chao urged, growing impatient.

“You, young man, lettell you, that Li Wei has stirred up a storm in the northern region. I heard that the original steel plant has expanded several times its size. The local economy is booming, and he’s been aggressively acquiring mid-sized steel mills, mines, and material research institutes. His overall strength has now entered the top five in the country, and 1 have no idea where he got so much money from.

Furthermore, he’s monopolized eighty percent of the domestic market for special steel, and he’s currently in competition with Gangdu Steel. Sconcerned individuals reached out toand askedto advise you not to make your moves too obvious. Do you think you can just treatas your secretary?” Ye Zhengfeng chuckled as he finished speaking.

Listening to Ye Zhengfeng’s words, Zhou Chao was left dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected Li Wei’s abilities to be this strong. The rapid development of the Fuxing Steel Plant was impressive. It seemed that he had not made a mistake when he poached him from Ye Zhengfeng’s side. As for the source of Li Wei’s money, Zhou Chao was sure it was clean, but he couldn’t reveal it openly.

“Uncle Ye, you also know that I’m a hands-off manager. I haven’t paid too much attention to Fuxing’s development. Based on what you’re saying, someone has called to slow him down a bit?”

“That’s right, but it won’t have much impact. It’s just a precaution against anyone using underhanded methods. You should still remind Li Wei to be cautious. But speaking of it, after this aggressive expansion, they still need to digest it. You can’t devour the whole cake in one go. Be careful not to choke.” Zhou Chao understood the hidden meaning in Ye Zhengfeng’s words. The cake was there to be eaten, but it should be done gradually, step by step. Eating too much too quickly would make others unhappy.

“Thank you, Uncle Ye. 1 know what to do.”

“Alright, I have other matters to attend to. I’ll hang up.”

After ending the call, Zhou Chao’s mood improved, and a smile appeared on his face.

He turned to Lin Wu, who was beside him, and asked, “Lin Wu, have you been in contact with Xiaowu recently?”

Lin Wu hesitated for a moment before replying, “I’ve been in contact, but it’s been about half a month between our communications. I report the situation regularly. I’m due to contact him the day after tomorrow.. Is something wrong?”
