Zhou Chao nodded, according to Ling Chen’s explanation, this Xiandao Data Valley was tailored for them. Of course, the specifics would have to be confirmed after meeting with the responsible person from Fog City.

After settling into the hotel, it was already evening.

Standing by the hotel window, Zhou Chao gazed at the distant Jialing River, watching the colorful lights gradually brighten, immersing himself in the moment.

“Boss, Ling Chen found a great hotpot place. Shall we go and give it a try?”

Lin Wu’s booming voice instantly snapped Zhou Chao out of his relaxed state.

“Oh, Ling Chen managed to find a good hotpot place? Let’s go, see if it’s as good as they say!”

It had been a while since Zhou Chao had enjoyed authentic Fog City hotpot. Although hotpot restaurants could be found all over the country, many adapted their flavors to suit local tastes, losing the authentic Fog City taste.

After leaving the hotel, the three of them didn’t take the car. They claimed the hot pot restaurant wasn’t too far from the hotel. Following Ling Chen’s guidance, they walked along the road, meandering for about twenty minutes, before finally arriving at the residential building where Ling Chen had mentioned the hot pot restaurant was located.

Zhou Chao scanned the surroundings but didn’t spot the name of the hot pot restaurant. However, the entire place was nearly packed with diners, indicating that the restaurant was indeed as good as Ling Chen had described.

The three of them randomly found a seat, and as soon as they sat down, a waitress approached.

“Hey handsome, here’s the menu! Take a look and see what you’d like to eat.”

Ling Chen took the menu and swiftly ordered a few dishes, indicating he had prepared beforehand.

The dishes arrived promptly, in less than ten minutes, all the dishes Ling Chen ordered were served.

“These dishes seem quite fresh!” Zhou Chao, with his culinary expertise, could tell.

“Of course, otherwise why would I bring Boss here!” Ling Chen boasted.

As they conversed, Lin Wu had quietly cooked two pieces of tripe and was now enjoying them heartily.

Zhou Chao gave him an exasperated look, and Lin Wu chuckled, “Boss, Mr. Ling, you should try it too. It’s really delicious!”

As they spoke, he picked up another piece of tripe to cook. Zhou Chao and Ling Chen exchanged a glance, then chuckled helplessly and joined in the culinary battle.

The next day, Zhou Chao and his team were up early, as they had to meet with the Fog City authorities to discuss matters. It was better to arrive early, as Fog City was known to have some of the worst traffic in the country. Delaying their meeting would not only be disrespectful but could also make future work difficult.

Five Mercedes-Benz cars pulled out of the hotel and merged into the morning rush hour traffic, heading towards the Municipal Government Building.

Along the way, they made stops and detours. At one point, the lead car took a wrong turn, adding another ten minutes to their journey. When Zhou Chao and his team finally arrived at the Municipal Government Building, what should have been a half-hour journey had stretched to a full hour, and it was already ten minutes to ten in the morning.

“Boss, the roads in Fog City are really magical. Even with navigation, we still got lost,” Lin Wu complained in a low voice as soon as they got out of the car. Since most of the drivers were his subordinates, incidents like this required reflection.

Zhou Chao glanced at Lin Wu but didn’t say anything. Indeed, the roads in Fog City were quite bewildering. Even locals sometimes made such mistakes, let alone these drivers who had recently arrived in Fog City.

“Hello, you must be Mr. Ling, the CEO of Dragonfly Group. I’m He Yu, Secretary Jiang’s secretary!” A young man in a black coat briskly approached Zhou Chao.

Seeing the somewhat excited expression on He Yu’s face, Zhou Chao nodded slightly and gestured towards Ling Chen beside him.

He Yu paused for a moment, his smile freezing for a moment. He couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Oops, did I mistake the person?”

Before he could figure it out, Ling Chen took a few steps forward and extended his right hand, saying, “Hello, Secretary He. I’m Ling Chen!”

He Yu quickly shook hands with Ling Chen, slightly bowing and apologizing, “Sorry, Mr. Ling!”

He then glanced at Zhou Chao. It wasn’t entirely his fault; Zhou Chao’s presence was overwhelming, and both Ling Chen and Lin Wu had surrounded him, leading He Yu to mistakenly believe Zhou Chao was Ling Chen, the CEO of Dragonfly Group. He never expected to make such a blunder.

“This is my boss, Zhou Chao!”

Just as He Yu was still pondering Zhou Chao’s identity, Ling Chen’s voice sounded in his ears.

He Yu took a sharp breath. As the chief secretary, he was well-informed about certain matters. Understanding the significance of Dragonfly Group’s representation, he never imagined that the young man he had mistaken earlier was the true owner of Dragonfly Group!

“Mr. Zhou… Mr. Zhou, hello!”

Zhou Chao nodded slightly. “Hello. It’s getting late. Let’s go in. We shouldn’t keep the leaders waiting.”

“Mr. Zhou, Mr. Ling, please come in!” After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down and suppressing his astonishment, He Yu quickly led Zhou Chao and his team into the courtyard.

Soon, under He Yu’s guidance, they arrived at the door of a conference room.

He Yu lightly knocked three times and then pushed open the door, stepping aside and gesturing with his left hand to invite them in.
