It was said that he had already occupied a portion of the market in some Nordic countries, and his scale was already considerable in the Nordic region.
“Young Master Zhou, I wonder if we can increase our share a little more. As you know, the market for wafers is in short supply, and many of my partners are urging me to increase the supply.”
It was uncommon to encounter Zhou Chao, so he had to request a share directly from Zhou Chao regardless.
“Uncle Li, you know I’ve never been interested in this matter. I’m not very clear about the specifics. I’ll ask about the situation at Canghai Technology and see if it’s feasible!”
Zhou Chao didn’t directly refuse. After all, who the wafers were sold to wasn’t the main issue. The main concern was that he wasn’t very clear about the current situation at Canghai Technology, how much production there was, and how much was left.
Upon hearing this, Li Daoming’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light. “Alright, then you’ll have to put in a bit more effort for this matter.”
“Uncle Li, let’s stop here. We’ll head back now!”
“Okay, Young Master Zhou, take care. Remember to come for the baby’s full moon celebration!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t forget!” Zhou Chao greeted and left the First Maternal and Child Health Hospital with Lin Wu directly.
As the car slowly drove out of the hospital, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but look back at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital. At this moment, he missed his wife. He wondered when he would be able to see his baby.
“Lin Wu, make arrangements. We’re going back to Jingdu tomorrow!” Zhou Chao suddenly spoke up.
Lin Wu, who was driving attentively, was startled by this and couldn’t immediately react. He still asked foolishly, “Boss, why are we going back tomorrow?”
Zhou Chao tilted his head and glanced at Lin Wu, saying, “What’s wrong? Do you have any objections to me going back to see my wife tomorrow?”
“N-no, no objections!” Lin Wu’s head shook like a rattle.
Zhou Chao looked out of the window. Even in the late night, Modu was still bustling with activity.
The next day, after Zhou Chao and Lin Wu had lunch, they headed straight to Pudong Airport.
As one of the shareholders of Pudong Airport, Zhou Chao no longer had to queue up for takeoff like before.
Everything was arranged with a single phone call. Once Zhou Chao boarded his plane, it could take off at any time. This was also like opening a back door for himself.
Perhaps last night’s events had affected Zhou Chao. His desire to see Jiang Li was becoming more urgent.
The two-hour flight made Zhou Chao experience what it meant to be on pins and needles.
As soon as he got off the plane, Zhou Chao hurriedly walked towards the airport exit. Lin Wu, who was following him, also felt that something was off with the boss today.
But he couldn’t figure out what it was!
After getting into the waiting car that had been waiting for a long time, they headed straight for home.
“Boss, you seem a little off today!” Lin Wu, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn’t help but ask about the problem he had noticed.
When Zhou Chao heard this question, he began to realize, “Am I acting strange today?”
Lin Wu nodded affirmatively.
Rubbing his face with both hands, Zhou Chao said, “Maybe it’s because I miss my wife. I don’t know why, but I just want to see Jiang Li as soon as possible! ” “Uh…” Lin Wu was speechless. However, he couldn’t help but think of his wife, Li Qian, who was crazy last night, and a happy smile appeared on his lips.
When they arrived at the courtyard, it was already three fifteen in the afternoon.
As soon as Zhou Chao got out of the car, he quickly walked towards the house.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Jiang Li lounging on the recliner in the front yard pavilion, leisurely swaying.
A smile crept onto his lips as he took three quick steps and two small steps to reach the pavilion.
Watching Jiang Li relaxing with her eyes closed, Zhou Chao sat down on the bench in the pavilion, quietly observing her.
At that moment, Aunt. Kuang, the nanny who came out of the house, saw Zhou Chao and was about to greet him when Lin Wu stopped her.
“Boss, why are you back?” Ms. Kuang asked in a low voice.
Lin Wu shrugged, not wanting to indulge in this display of affection. “The boss missed his wife, so he flew back directly.”
Seemingly sensing Lin Wu’s bitterness, Aunt Kuang smiled and patted his arm. “Alright, why don’t you come inside and rest? I’ll start preparing dinner too!” Lin Wu nodded and followed Aunt Kuang into the house, leaving only Zhou Chao and Jiang Li in the courtyard, accompanied by the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
After about ten minutes, Jiang Li opened her slightly dazed eyes, stretching lazily and murmuring to herself, “It’s rare to see the sun, it feels so good!” It was then that Jiang Li noticed someone sitting beside her and sat up excitedly when she recognized who it was.
“Brother Chao, why are you back?” she exclaimed.
“I missed you, so I flew back!” Zhou Chao replied, affectionately rubbing Jiang
Li’s head with love shining in his eyes.
“Really?” Jiang Li’s eyes lit up with joy.
“Of course!”
Kiss!” With that, Jiang Li wrapped her arms around Zhou Chao’s head and leaned in for a kiss.
Unable to resist, Zhou Chao kissed her passionately.
After a while, they finally separated, both with a string of saliva connecting their lips. Jiang Li blushed and quickly wiped it away with her hand.
Just then, Lin Wu walked out with a fruit plate. Seeing the affectionate scene between the two, he glanced at the fruit plate in his hand and decisively turned back into the house.
Zhou Chao and Jiang Li noticed this and burst into laughter.
“Let’s go inside, it’s starting to get chilly out here!”
“Yeah!”
As they entered the house, they saw Lin Wu sitting on the sofa, happily munching on fruit from the plate in his hands, and couldn’t stop praising, Fruit is much better than dog food! These grapes are so sweet. I wonder where they’re imported from. I’ll ask Aunt Kuang later and bring some back for Li Qian to taste!”
“Are the grapes tasty?” Zhou Chao asked softly.
“Of course… they are!” Lin Wu replied, realizing his mistake halfway through and awkwardly stood up when he noticed Zhou Chao and Jiang Li standing behind him.
With a quick motion, he set the fruit plate down. “No, Boss, let me explain… uh, wait, let me clarify…”
“Alright, I don’t want to hear your excuses. Take your fruit plate and go eat in the backyard!” Zhou Chao dismissed him, not wanting to interrupt their intimate moment.
“Yes, Boss!” Lin Wu, relieved that he wasn’t scolded, grinned and hurried off to the backyard with the fruit plate.
Watching Lin Wu’s hasty departure, Jiang Li chuckled and remarked, “Brother Wu is becoming more interesting!”
Ah, the once honest Lin Wu seems to be gone for good!” Zhou Chao teased with a smile.
Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him and sat down on the sofa.
The two of them chatted on the sofa. When they learned that Shen Lan had given birth to a chubby boy, they couldn’t help but feel happy for her.
As night fell, after a few hours of busy cooking, Aunt Kuang finally finished preparing dinner.
“Young Master Zhou, dinner is ready!” Ms. Kuang, wearing an apron, emerged from the dining room.
“Okay, Aunt Kuang, you can go ahead and call Lin Wu.” Zhou Chao smiled in response.
Jiang Li, now five months pregnant, found it a bit difficult to get up from the sofa.
Seeing Jiang Li’s struggle, Zhou Chao felt a pang of tenderness in his heart, cursing himself for not spending more time with her.
“Darling, would you like to go on a trip?”
“Yes!”
Jiang Li replied without hesitation, but then quickly reconsidered. “No, let’s forget about it. Let’s wait until after I give birth to the baby!”
Zhou Chao immediately pulled Jiang Li into his arms and whispered softly
“I’m sorry!”
Hearing this, Jiang Li’s eyes welled up with tears. To be honest, she missed Zhou Chao every day when he wasn’t around, but she also knew he was busy, so she kept her longing hidden deep in her heart.
“Let’s go on a trip in a camper!”
“A camper?” Jiang Li looked up at Zhou Chao with confusion.
Seeing Jiang Li’s slightly reddened eyes, Zhou Chao felt a pang of heartache and kissed her forehead.
“Yes, it’ll be more convenient for you to travel this way. Alright, I’ll take care of it. You just enjoy yourself when the time comes!”
“Okay!” Jiang Li nodded happily and headed towards the dining room.
As Lin Wu walked in with an empty plate, Zhou Chao quickly called him over.
“Lin Wu, arrange for a luxury camper by tomorrow, the one with the highest safety rating!”
“Huh?” Lin Wu was momentarily stunned. He was about to ask why when he saw Zhou Chao already walking briskly towards Jiang Li.
“A luxury camper? What’s this for, a trip? I’ll inform President Ling after dinner!” Though filled with doubts, Lin Wu kept the matter in mind.
