The next morning, at ten o’clock, Zhou Chao sat in Lin Wu’s office, reading a book. He was surprised to see Lin Wu studying, mostly management-related materials with some miscellaneous books and novels. He was currently engrossed in a novel.

“Before, when I had Ling Chen acquire the rights to those novels, I wonder how it’s going now. If 1 can find the ones 1 remember, maybe 1 can become a director and make some movies!” He chuckled at his own idea.

Zhou Chao thought about it carefully and found the idea quite appealing. He planned to hire a prominent director to lead the project, and if it became successful, it would be a significant achievement.

“Boss, is this novel really that good? You were laughing like a fool just now…” Lin Wu, who had entered the room unnoticed, commented.

Hearing Lin Wu’s words, Zhou Chao wiped the smile off his face and looked at Lin Wu with a serious expression. “You have a chance to rephrase that. I can tell you’ve been quite cheeky lately.”

“Uh… Boss, Todd has arrived,” Lin Wu quickly changed the topic.

Zhou Chao put down the book and said, “Let him in.”

Lin Wu gestured towards the door, and a tall figure walked in.

“Boss!” Todd greeted respectfully.

“Hmm, please have a seat. It’s been less than half a month, and you seem to have gotten even darker,” Zhou Chao remarked, noticing Todd’s tanned complexion.

“Boss, I must say Huaxia is really hot. 1 couldn’t bear the heat after spending a few days in the south, so I followed the advice of others and came to the northeast.”

“Hahaha, it’s alright, getting some sun is healthy.”

Even Lin Wu, who was standing by, couldn’t help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

Zhou Chao tapped his fingers on the desk, his smile fading, and he spoke seriously, “Todd, I’m thinking of having you leave GS and work for me. Are you willing?”

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Todd, who had been feeling down, suddenly broke into a wide smile, nodding vigorously.

“Boss, I’m willing!” Todd had witnessed many things and understood the true value and potential of his boss. If he stayed at GS, he would likely remain a middle-level manager, retiring with a modest pension. But by following Zhou Chao, he could chase the dream of becoming wealthy.

“Can I trust you completely?” Zhou Chao’s eyes fixed on Todd’s, searching for signs of sincerity amidst his excitement.

“Boss, you can trust me one hundred percent. I’m even willing to give my life for you if needed!” Todd declared his loyalty at this crucial moment. It was a time to show his unwavering commitment.

“What about your team members? Can I trust them the same way?”

“Boss, you can trust them completely. They’ve been with me for several years, and they are trustworthy even in life-threatening situations.”

Zhou Chao nodded in response, leaning back in his chair, lost in thought. Todd sat quietly, understanding that it was not the time to speak further.

“Todd, I want you to register a mining company in the Cayman Islands. It may require you to be stationed in the African California for an extended period. If you’re not willing, it’s okay.”

“Stationed in African California for an extended period?” Todd was a bit surprised, as the current social environment there wasn’t very stable.

“Yes, we’ll purchase some mines over there, and you will be the official representative.”

With these words, Todd understood what was expected of him. Zhou Chao needed his identity to handle certain public matters.

Todd fell into deep thought. Danger and opportunity were always closely intertwined.

Just when Zhou Chao thought Todd might refuse, Todd looked up with determination and said, “Boss, I’ll go. You trust me, and that’s why you’ve entrusted me with such an important task. It’s a sign of your trust in me, and I won’t let you down.”

“Good, I made the right choice. Lin Wu, go get Li Wei.”

Soon, Lin Wu brought Li Wei into the room.

“Boss, did you need something?” Li Wei noticed Todd seated there.

“Li Wei, let me introduce you. This is Todd, who will be in charge of our foreign mining operations. Todd, this is your future supervisor, Li Wei. I hope you two can work together seamlessly and make our company world-class.”

Li Wei and Todd simultaneously extended their hands and said, “Hello, Todd I Li Wei!”

Laughter filled the room as they greeted each other.

“Take your time to discuss. Li Wei, please register the overseas company as soon as possible. Todd, let Li Wei know your requirements in due time and expedite the first target for our future. Regarding you and your team members, I will call Ben to handle it. Additionally, Li Wei, transfer 1 million US dollars to each of them from the company’s account as compensation.”

“Boss, on behalf of my team, 1 want to thank you deeply,” Todd bowed respectfully.

“No need for these formalities. Just work well; that’s the best way to thank me,” Zhou Chao said, patting Todd’s shoulder.

“Yes, Boss!”

“All right, you two take your time. I’ll be leaving now.” With the successful arrangement of this matter, Zhou Chao was ready to head back to Jingdu to see Jiang Li.

“Boss, I’ll escort you..”
