Chapter 545: First Arrival in Irkutsk!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After spending two days in Jingdu, during which Zhou Chao screened out the twenty quotas, Lin Wu, Wang Feng, and others were among them. Additionally, Ling Chen and other executives, as well as armed bodyguards assigned to Jiang Li’s side, were included. After calculations, there were exactly three vacancies left. Finally, Zhou Chao arranged them all to be by his side. These people were all retired soldiers, trustworthy individuals.

At this moment, Zhou Chao had just finished a call with GS. He looked bewildered, his face showing a hint of confusion. Ten minutes ago, he casually signed in on the sofa. Unexpectedly, he ended up with 55% of GS’s shares. Adding to his previous 4.5%, he now had full control. Before Zhou Chao could understand what was happening, he received a call from Ban. After a brief conversation, he learned that the consortium behind the scenes needed money, so they decided to sell all the shares. The system accepted the deal entirely.

Thinking about acquiring 55% ownership of one of the world’s top three security companies, Zhou Chao felt thrilled. He imagined the vast number of GS employees, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, spread across the globe. However, he decided to temporarily leave GS under Ban’s management, as Ban was adept in this area. Zhou Chao couldn’t find a new manager in the short term. Meanwhile, Zhou Chao also gained the highest authority in GS, allowing him to mobilize security forces in his region at any time.

“Ah, thank you, system, for saving me so much money.” Zhou Chao couldn’t help feeling smug. If the system could take a human form, it would probably jump out and slap him.

While Zhou Chao was still immersed in his fantasy, the phone on the table rang again.

“It took them two days to call me. What a delay,” Zhou Chao muttered quietly at Jiang Lao’s incoming call. Nevertheless, he quickly answered the phone.

“Hello, Grandpa!”

“Are you secretly mocking me behind my back?”

Jiang Lao’s words made Zhou Chao look around. Did Grandpa install spies around him?

“Why are you silent? Have I guessed it right? Just because I delayed you for a day, are you so petty?”

Zhou Chao quickly changed the subject. “Grandpa, is there any good news for calling me?”

“Oh, I called to tell you two things. You can go out, but if anything happens, call me first. And the other thing is about the promise made to you. As long as you don’t betray the country, you can do whatever you want.”

Zhou Chao jumped up from the sofa in excitement. “Really? So, can I punch the South Mountain Nursing Home and kick the North Sea Kindergarten now?”

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Lao felt his veins popping. “Okay, stop gloating. Be prudent in your actions.”

“Don’t worry, Grandpa. You know I’m a very low-key person.”

Jiang Lao also knew that Zhou Chao had always been low-key, except for the opening ceremony of the foundation this time. There was little information about him online. However, what Jiang Lao didn’t know was what kind of storm Zhou Chao’s departure would stir up this time.

“Well, let’s hang up. I’m very busy here.” After speaking, Jiang Lao hung up the phone.

Whistling, Zhou Chao happily walked upstairs.

Jiang Li, who was playing games in the study, looked at Zhou Chao’s smug face as he walked in and couldn’t help but tease, “Brother Chao, did you encounter something good? You seem so happy.”

“No good news, just that the Jingdu matter is resolved, and I plan to leave this afternoon,” Zhou Chao said.

Hearing this, Jiang Li immediately stood up, expressing unhappiness. “You’re leaving today?”

Zhou Chao affectionately patted Jiang Li’s head and softly said, “There are still many things unresolved. It’s been delayed for so long, it’s time to take care of them.”

Thinking of the gold mine in Siberia that Ling Chen reported to him earlier, Zhou Chao wasn’t sure if it was real. Regardless of its scale, he had to go and see it.

Jiang Li didn’t say much, just reached out her hands and hugged Zhou Chao’s waist, pressing herself against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

Zhou Chao gently patted Jiang Li’s back and said, “Alright, I won’t be gone for long. I’ll come back as soon as I’m done.”

“Mmm!” Jiang Li responded, tightening her grip around Zhou Chao’s waist.

After lunch, Zhou Chao boarded the car that had been waiting for him for a long time and headed to the airport.

“Boss, are we going back to Modu?”

Zhou Chao looked out the window quietly and said, “No, we’re going to Bearland.”

“Bearland?” Lin Wu turned to look at Zhou Chao in surprise.

“Yes! Consider it a little getaway,” Zhou Chao replied.

Hearing this, Lin Wu didn’t say anything more. He figured the boss had already arranged the itinerary.

Soon, they arrived at the airport.

“Dole, is everything arranged?” Upon boarding the plane, Zhou Chao saw Dole briefing the flight attendant.

“Boss, everything’s ready. We can depart anytime,” Dole replied.

“Well, let’s depart as soon as possible!” Zhou Chao said, heading towards the cabin. Lin Wu followed quickly with his four subordinates.

Dole had already contacted the airline in advance, arranging for Zhou Chao’s plane to take off directly from Jingdu. With a roar, Zhou Chao’s aircraft soared into the sky, heading towards Siberia. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Zhou Chao’s farm was located in the small town of Listvyanka, Irkutsk, at the confluence of Lake Baikal and the Angara River, also known as the southern gateway to Lake Baikal.
