Chapter 466 - 466: If You Don’t Work Hard, You Will Be Eliminated!
The next day, in the early morning hours.
Last night, Zhou Chao had stayed up late researching the chip technology he had signed earlier, not going to sleep until after two in the morning.
Early in the morning, Guo Yan called him, “Hey, big brother, I’m about to start school, aren’t you coming to see your dear little sister?”
“Hey, it’s only eight in the morning, why are you calling so early, can’t you let your older brother rest a bit? I only went to sleep after two in the morning last night. What’s up?” Zhou Chao replied irritably.
“I didn’t know you stayed up late last night. I just thought if you have time, you could take me to school for registration.”
“When are you going to school for registration?” Zhou Chao had always been curious about the National University of Defense Technology and wouldn’t mind visiting if he had the time.
“In a week.”
“Alright, I got it. Just give me a call in advance when the time comes, and I’ll see if I’m free!”
Guo Yan happily said, “Thanks, big brother!”
“Alright, I’m going back to sleep for a while. I’ll hang up now.” Zhou Chao hung up the phone and went back to sleep, tossing it aside.
By mid-morning, Zhou Chao finally crawled out of bed, feeling groggy.
“Boss, are you up? Do you need something to eat?” Lin Wu, who was playing on the sofa with his phone, looked at Zhou Chao, who had a messy head of hair as he walked out of the bedroom.
“Just make something to eat. You don’t know that Guo Yan called me early in the morning before 8 a.m. and woke me up. I finally managed to get back to sleep, and now it’s this late,” Zhou Chao said with a yawn as he sat on the sofa, checking his phone and realizing it was almost noon.
Lin Wu chuckled at his boss’s complaints but didn’t comment further. It was his boss’ business after all, and he had no business meddling. He picked up the phone and called the hotel front desk to have some food delivered.
When the hotel front desk heard that it was their boss calling, they immediately sprang into action, their efficiency far exceeding the usual.
“Boss, are we still going to the coastal area this afternoon?”
Zhou Chao pondered for a moment before replying, “Yes, we’re going there for a meeting. Notify Xu Yu and the others, and let the company’s middle and senior management know that we’ll have a meeting at 3 p.m.”
“Yes, boss!” Lin Wu was a bit curious about why Zhou Chao was informing the middle and senior management, but he didn’t ask further questions. He knew that if Zhou Chao had something to tell him, he would.
“I’ll freshen up first, and then call me when the food arrives!” Zhou Chao said, standing up and heading towards the bedroom.
In no time, Lin Wu heard the sound of water from the bedroom. He couldn’t help but sigh that it wasn’t his wife here with him at the moment.
Soon, the sound of water in the bedroom diminished until it couldn’t be heard at all.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Hearing a knock on the door, Lin Wu quickly walked to the door, knowing that it must be the hotel staff delivering the food.
As he opened the door, he saw two beautiful female waitresses pushing two carts with food trays standing outside.
“Just push them in directly!” Lin Wu opened the hotel room door wide and let the waitresses in.
Just as the two women were pushing the food carts into the room, Zhou Chao opened the bedroom door and walked out, holding a large towel to dry his hair. He was wearing only a pair of shorts and muttered to himself, “Lin Wu, why hasn’t the food been delivered yet?”
Lin Wu and the two beautiful waitresses stared at Zhou Chao’s exposed upper body, momentarily mesmerized. Lin Wu quickly snapped out of it, but the two waitresses couldn’t take their eyes off Zhou Chao’s muscular upper body and handsome face, their eyes sparkling.
Zhou Chao, now aware of the situation in the room, saw the two women seemingly mesmerized by him and hurriedly turned towards the bedroom, saying, “Why does it feel so chilly?”
The two waitresses also regained their composure at this point. They quickly placed the delicious food from the carts onto the table and swiftly exited the room. As Lin Wu went to close the door, he could still hear their conversation outside, “Xiaoya, did you see that? The boss is really handsome and has a great body. He must be amazing at night!”
“Hmph, the boss is amazing even during the day!”
“You’re such a flirt!”
“You’re not any better.”
Hearing this rather audacious discussion, Lin Wu couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he closed the door.
“Are girls these days this bold?” he mumbled to himself by the door.
“What are you muttering at the door?” Zhou Chao had already changed his clothes and walked out.
“Boss, you don’t know how daring girls are these days. You didn’t hear just now, tsk tsk, it’s exciting!” Lin Wu said with a mischievous smile.
Zhou Chao gave him a glance, shook his head in silence, and went straight to the dining table to eat. Lin Wu, seeing that Zhou Chao wasn’t paying him any attention, chuckled awkwardly and sat at the table to eat as well.
Though it was a simple meal, the hotel had delivered some top-notch dishes. Zhou Chao didn’t comment and began eating.
“Did you notify the people I asked you to?” Zhou Chao asked while eating.
“I’ve sent a message to Xu Yu, and she replied.”
“Good.” Zhou Chao stopped talking, mainly because he wasn’t used to talking while eating.
Soon, the two of them finished the seven dishes on the table. Zhou Chao returned to his room and only said, “Tell Wang Feng to come and pick us up at 2 p.m.,” before closing the door.
Back in his room, Zhou Chao retrieved a laptop from the closet. He skillfully opened Word and began working. The room was filled with the sound of rapid typing, like a torrential downpour.
Time passed quickly, and it was already 2 p.m. Lin Wu, noticing that his boss hadn’t come out yet, walked to the bedroom door and gently knocked. Zhou Chao, who had been absorbed in typing, instantly snapped out of it..
