Chapter 468 - 468: Coming
In the office of the general manager of Canghai Technology, Zhou Chao sat in his chair, looking at some recent company development-related documents. “How’s the matter 1 discussed with you yesterday, Xu Yu?” Zhou Chao asked without lifting his head.
“I’ve already contacted Yang, the manager from Radiant International. It’s estimated that we can find the relevant personnel within a week. Also, I’ve arranged for people to recruit talent from major universities across the country.” Fortunately, I arranged everything last night.
“Good, not bad. If Canghai can meet my standards under your management by the end of the year, I might consider giving you a 0.1% share of Canghai!” Zhou Chao leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands, and looked at Xu Yu with a smile.
Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Xu Yu looked excited for a moment but quickly suppressed his inner joy. He looked at Zhou Chao earnestly and said, “Boss, you can rest assured that I won’t disappoint you.”
“I hope so. Next time, I hope to see a completely transformed Canghai,” Zhou Chao said as he stood up from his chair.
“Boss, are you planning to leave now? Aren’t you waiting for the finished lithography machine?” Xu Yu asked, somewhat surprised.
“Yes, I won’t wait any longer. I have some other matters to attend to. Just work hard, and don’t let me down.” Zhou Chao patted Xu Yu’s shoulder and left the office with Lin Wu.
“Boss, where are we going now?” Lin Wu asked as he leaned on the seat in the Toyota Alphard.
“Fengtian!” Zhou Chao was curious about what kind of miracle had happened at the Fuxing Steel Mill under Li Wei’s management.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wu nodded and turned to Wang Feng, who was driving, saying, “Let’s go back to the hotel first and get our things. Then, we can head to the airport.”
The Toyota Alphard quickly exited the gates of Canghai Technology, and Zhou Chao looked back before closing his eyes.
After returning to the hotel and packing their luggage, Wang Feng drove Zhou Chao and Lin Wu to the airport. After waiting for about half an hour, their plane took off, heading north to Fengtian.
In August, the nights in Fengtian were comfortable. As soon as Zhou Chao got off the plane, he felt a refreshing breeze, and the heat of the southern winds was replaced by a cooler temperature. Leaving the airport, Zhou Chao asked the taxi driver to take them to the nearest night market. Zhou Chao was eager to try the local specialty, grilled chicken skewers.
“Hey, I can tell you guys haven’t been to Fengtian before,” the taxi driver, who was a friendly local, started chatting with Zhou Chao as soon as they got in the car.
“Well, it’s not our first time here, but we haven’t stayed long before and left quickly. Why do you say that?”
“I can tell because you mentioned going to the night market. Locals rarely go to the night market. The really good food is usually found in old residential buildings or old streets. Night markets are mostly for tourists.”
“Hey, can you recommend a good place for us to eat?”
“Sure thing! It depends on what you want to eat, grilled skewers or stewed dishes,” the driver was quite friendly and decided to stop the car on the side of the road while they made up their minds.
“We’d like some grilled skewers,” Zhou Chao decided to go for the skewers. After all, it wouldn’t be right to visit Northeast China without trying some grilled skewers.
“No problem!” The driver turned the steering wheel, made a U-turn, and headed in a different direction to find a good skewer place.
After about twenty minutes, the taxi stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant.
“Boss, the name of this place is quite interesting, ‘One Meal Barbecue’!”
“Hahaha, there’s nothing that a meal of barbecue can’t solve. Let’s go in and see what it’s like.” Zhou Chao said and walked inside.
“Welcome!” A slightly plump lady greeted them.
“Table for two!”
“Would you like to sit inside or outside?”
“Inside, please.” Zhou Chao and Lin Wu found a table in the middle of the restaurant.
Lin Wu promptly picked up the menu and started ordering. He ordered ten skewers of each meat variety and just a few vegetarian options.
At this time, it was only around 8:30 in the evening, and there were already seven or eight tables occupied inside. Zhou Chao took a quick look around and felt the lively atmosphere of eating skewers in Northeast China. The environment was nice, with a genuine local atmosphere and a lively atmosphere.
The skewers were served quickly. In less than twenty minutes, the same lady who greeted them earlier came over with two large plates of skewers. Zhou Chao estimated there were at least two to three hundred skewers in total. Seeing Lin Wu’s excited expression, Zhou Chao could only shake his head in amusement.
They set up a large table, and Zhou Chao picked up a skewer and started eating.
Halfway through the meal, the lady brought over another large plate of skewers.
“Did you order these lamb kidneys? Did you order ten skewers to replenish yourself?” Zhou Chao looked at Lin Wu with a strange expression.
Seeing the look in his boss’s eyes, Lin Wu knew that Zhou Chao was getting the wrong idea. He hurriedly explained, “Boss, I just didn’t pay attention when ordering. I’m perfectly fine.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Really!” Lin Wu replied anxiously, as if speaking louder would make his explanation more convincing.
Zhou Chao noticed that people around them were starting to look in their direction, so he decided to stop teasing Lin Wu.
“Alright, I know you’re in good shape. But you can’t waste these ten skewers of lamb kidneys. Eat them all.”
“Okay!” Lin Wu sighed and picked up the lamb kidneys to eat. Within a few bites, he had finished one skewer.
Watching Lin Wu devour the skewers, Zhou Chao also ate heartily. Soon, the skewers on the table visibly decreased, and in no time, they had finished all the skewers..
