Trantor: Dragon Boat Trantion Editor: Dragon Boat Trantion
At 6 PM, Zhou Chao, carrying two bags of fresh fruits, was waiting in the underground garage of Qiaoxiang Vige for the elevator.
“Boss, do you really not need my help to carry them upstairs?”
“No need, just hand me the bag you’re holding.”
“Alright!” Wang Feng handed over the bag containing the Barbie doll gift set that Zhou Chao had bought for Little Mango.
“Ding!” The elevator arrived in the garage, and Zhou Chao walked in with his belongings.
“You can find a ce to eat on your own. I’ll call youter!” Zhou Chao said as soon as the elevator doors closed.
Watching the closing doors, Wang Feng’s “Alright” that was about to leave his lips was swallowed back.
The elevator quickly reached the floor where Ye Zhengfeng lived. Zhou Chao, carrying three big bags, knocked on Ye Zhengfeng’s door.
“Click!” Ye Zhengfeng opened the door.
“You little brat, if you were toe a bitter, we would have started dinner without you!”
“It’s just that something came up in the afternoon, so 1 rushed over here as soon as I finished,” Zhou Chao exined as he changed into a pair of slippers, and Ye Zhengfeng took the two bags from him.
“Big brother!” Little Mango ran out of the room as soon as Zhou Chao put down his bags.
Zhou Chao quickly crouched down and caught Little Mango as she pounced on him.
“Oh, Little Mango, did you grow a little taller than before?” Zhou Chao lifted Little Mango and noticed her adorable appearance.
“Humph, I didn’t gain weight at all. Little Mango just grew a bit taller!” She said, using her fingers to show a tiny increase in height.
Zhou Chao looked at Little Mango’s cuteness and gently kissed her forehead.
“Yes, Little Mango has definitely grown taller!”
“Mama, did you hear that? Big brother said 1 grew taller, not fatter!” Little Mango bragged to Ye Zhengfeng.
Ye Zhengfeng and Zhou Chao exchanged nces and burst intoughter.
“What are you twoughing at? Let’s eat!” Just then, Aunt Wang, who was holding thest dish, came out.
“Coming!” Ye Zhengfeng got up from the sofa, and Zhou Chao followed suit, holding Little Mango as they headed to the dining table.
“Next month, on the 27th, my old man will be celebrating his 80th birthday. If you have time,e and join us. If you’re busy, it’s okay,” Ye Zhengfeng suddenly spoke up while they were still enjoying their meal. Aunt Wang looked surprised as she watched Ye Zhengfeng.
“I’lle to celebrate the Old Master’s birthday, no matter how busy 1 am.”
“Alright, I’ll let you know when the timees. Let’s eat first!”
Zhou Chao nodded, and the dinner table fell silent. Even Little Mango was quietly eating her meal.
The meal took an hour to cook but everyone finished eating in ten minutes.
Soon, everyone had finished their meal. Zhou Chao had initially nned to help with the dishes but was called into the study by Ye Zhengfeng.
“Uncle Ye, is there something important you want to discuss with me?” Zhou Chao entered the study and automatically brewed a pot of tea, pouring a cup for both Ye Zhengfeng and himself.
“It’s nothing major, but after you left this morning, 1 thought about it. Your CNC machine tool can’t be that simple, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have bought such arge piece ofnd to build a new industrial park. In other words, there must be a significant breakthrough, which will also drive the development of other industries. Suddenly, your business is going to expand rapidly, and that’s why you need such arge area ofnd.” Ye Zhengfeng exined his guess in one breath while carefully observing Zhou Chao’s reactions.
“Uncle Ye, you could have just asked me directly; there’s no need to guess like this.”
“You little brat, you want to see me embarrassed, don’t you? Be careful, I’ll find a way to put you in a difficult spot!” Ye Zhengfeng teased, giving Zhou Chao a stern look.
“Hehe, the ultra-precision machine tool with nanometer uracy has already been developed. We are currently intensively working on the production line, and a wafer production line is also in the n. That’s why 1 need more space to build the factory area.”
“Wait a moment, did you just say that the ultra-precision machine tool with nanometer uracy has already been manufactured?” Even Ye Zhengfeng was a bit baffled now.
Even though he had known about Zhou Chao’s ownership of a wafer production line before, this revtion was still astonishing.
“Yes, it’s the ultra-precision machine tool, the one known as the ‘industrial mother machine.''”
“Wait, give me a moment to process this. Let me catch my breath.” Ye Zhengfeng took a few sips of tea and took a deep breath to calm his inner astonishment.
“A nanometer-level machine tool! You, my young friend, might be about to make a big ssh. If this gets publicized, do you know how manypanies and groups will hold you in high regard?”
“1 know, but who can actually use it? 1 don’t want to be a big fish in a small pond. The domestic market is no longer my goal.”
“You must have a big goal in mind now. I’m looking forward to the big surprise you’ll give me!”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Ye, I won’t disappoint you.”
Ye Zhengfeng nodded in response. He was a wise man who knew when to stop prying. After all, everyone had some secrets.
The two of them chatted about family matters for a while, with the topic of Little Mango being the most prominent. Before they knew it, it was already 10 o’clock.
“It’s gettingte, you should head back and rest.”
“Alright, Uncle Ye, I’ll head back now.” Zhou Chao also noticed that it was gettingte. They both walked out of the study.
As soon as they came out, they bumped into Aunt Wang, who had juste out of Little Mango’s room.
Seeing the two of theming out, Aunt Wang immediately raised her index finger to her lips, signaling them to be quiet.
“Little Mango just fell asleep; keep your voices down!” They slowed their pace upon hearing this.
“Uncle Ye, you should get some rest too. 1’11 head back now.” Ye Zhengfeng escorted Zhou Chao to the door, and Zhou Chao waved goodbye before heading to the elevator.
In the garage, he saw his Toyota Alphard parked in its spot, and Wang Feng was sleeping in the driver’s seat.
Zhou Chao knew that sitting in the car for several hours would inevitably lead to falling asleep. So, he walked up to the driver’s seat and tapped on the window.
Wang Feng, who had been dozing off, suddenly woke up, and for a moment, he even looked alert, with a trace of fierceness in his eyes.
When he realized it was Zhou Chao knocking on the window, Wang Feng quickly opened the car door and got out.
“Sorry, boss, 1 dozed off for a moment, didn’t mean to!”
Zhou Chao, seeing Wang Feng’s nervous demeanor, patted his arm reassuringly.
“You go rest in the back; I’ll drive. You’ve worked hard today.”
“Boss, I’m fine now; I’m wide awake!” Wang Feng became even more nervous when he heard Zhou Chao offer to drive. If Lin Wu found out, he’d surely receive a scolding.
“No problem, go rest in the back. Are my words no longer effective?”
“No, not at all!” Wang Fengplied and sat in the passenger seat. He wouldn’t dare go to the back seat even if he were forced to.
Zhou Chao smiled and took the driver’s seat. He drove the Toyota Alphard out of Qiao Xiang Vige toward the Hilton Hotel.
They arrived at the hotel around 10:30 PM.
“You don’t need to go back tonight. Find another room to sleep in. We have things to do tomorrow, and you don’t have to keep running back and forth. It’s too troublesome.”
“Yes, boss!”
