Zhou Chao strode directly in when he saw the situation, Ling Chen, Lin Wu, and others following closely behind.

The conference room wasn’t crowded, only seven or eight people in total.

Zhou Chao scanned the room and froze when he saw the man sitting at the head of the table. Without thinking, he blurted out, “Dad, what are you doing here?”

Indeed, the man sitting at the head was none other than Zhou Chao’s father-in-law, Jiang Youdao.

Jiang Youdao looked teasingly at Zhou Chao, while the other leaders sitting at the table showed surprise on their faces, their gazes shifting between Zhou Chao and Jiang Youdao.

The word “Dad” stunned many present.

Fortunately, everyone present had weathered storms before, so they quickly accepted the situation.

“Young Master Zhou, why make everyone stand up to greet you? Hurry up and take a seat.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao felt like rolling his eyes. Initially, he sensed something was off. Logically, with the arrival of Dragonfly Group and directives from above, how could they be greeted by just a mere assistant? Turns out, it was the handiwork of his dear father-in-law!

Oh, what a trap! While others were out there trapping dads, seems like you’re quite adept at trapping sons-in-law!

After silently venting his frustration, Zhou Chao sat down on the other side of the conference table, with Ling Chen taking the seat beside him.

Once everyone was seated and Secretary He had served tea, he exited the conference room.

As the door closed, Jiang Youdao’s initially playful expression turned serious.

He scanned everyone present and finally fixed his gaze on Zhou Chao.

“Take out the documents given to you by the higher-ups and let the leaders have a look.”

Upon hearing Jiang Youdao’s words, the other leaders’ expressions changed. They couldn’t fathom the sudden arrival of this high-ranking leader and immediately called their contacts to inquire about the situation. The response was unanimous: cooperate unconditionally!

It seemed this leader had come for Dragonfly Group, and the crowd began to speculate.

Zhou Chao nodded to Ling Chen to produce the documents.

Without delay, Ling Chen took out the documents from the bag and handed the top one to Zhou Chao.

Without lingering, Zhou Chao passed it directly to the leader sitting opposite him, presumably the number two in Fog City.

The documents quickly circulated among the leaders. After everyone finished reading, the shock on their faces intensified.

None of the leaders expected the document to be signed directly by that person, and its content was equally shocking. It took them some time to recover.

“We unconditionally support this matter. If there are any needs, we will do our utmost to resolve them!” The leader sitting across from Zhou Chao spoke directly.

“The relevant matters will be handled by Mr. Ling from Dragonfly Group. Please coordinate with him in the future.” Zhou Chao promptly passed the responsibility to Ling Chen.

Ling Chen was prepared for this, as Zhou Chao had briefed him earlier. So, upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, he remained calm.

Meanwhile, Jiang Youdao, who had always been in control, showed a hint of surprise on his face. However, he said nothing and instead turned his gaze to the leaders beside him.

“This matter will be overseen by Director Li, I will supervise, and everyone else will cooperate unconditionally to ensure timely resolution of any issues.”

Jiang Youdao knew well that you couldn’t hog the entire cake by yourself, especially when he had already secured the largest piece. There was definitely some portion to be shared.

The leaders who heard this all smiled and assured, “We guarantee the completion of the task!”

“You can negotiate with Dragonfly Group specifically. I’ll head back to the office for now. If you have nothing to do, come chat with me in the office!”

After casting a glance at Zhou Chao, Jiang Youdao stood up and walked out of the conference room. Zhou Chao, who was named, reluctantly followed his steps.

Once the two had left, discussions filled the conference room. Both sides were full of expectations for this project.

Following Jiang Youdao into his office, Zhou Chao glanced at the nameplate on the door. Sure enough, just as he had thought, his father-in-law had been parachuted in as the head honcho of Fog City.

Thinking back to the surprise his father-in-law had hinted at during their chat, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental. He hadn’t expected such a big surprise. It seemed his father-in-law had done a good job keeping things under wraps!

“I knew you’d be sneakily plotting something. I was originally thinking of calling Xiao Li back to Jingdu, but you’ve already got your mind set on this. Didn’t expect you to take charge right from the start. Seems like you had it all planned out.” Jiang Youdao sat on his chair, looking at Zhou Chao with a hint of annoyance.

“This isn’t my area of expertise, so I’ll leave it to the professionals. I won’t meddle and cause trouble for you guys.” Zhou Chao shamelessly took a seat at the tea table and rummaged around, pulling out some premium tea leaves that Jiang Youdao had secretly stashed away. He started brewing them while speaking.
