“Xiao Chao, wake up!” Jiang Youdao looked at Zhou Chao, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa and extended his guilty hand.

Zhou Chao opened his slightly dazed eyes, seeing Jiang Youdao, Ling Chen, Lin Wu, and others standing in front of him.

“Hmm? Why are you all here? Is everything settled?” Zhou Chao, forcibly awakened, still felt a bit groggy.

He sat up and rubbed his slightly throbbing head.

Meanwhile, Lin Wu tactfully handed a cup of tea to Zhou Chao.

After drinking several sips, Zhou Chao began to feel much more awake.

“Why are you all here? Has everything been settled?” Zhou Chao asked with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

“Don’t you know what time it is now?” Jiang Youdao gestured towards the window with his mouth.

Zhou Chao looked out of the window and realized that it was already dark outside, realizing that he might have slept for quite a while.

After stretching lazily, Zhou Chao slowly got up from the sofa.

“Ling Chen, how did the negotiations go?”

Without leaving any trace, Ling Chen glanced at Jiang Youdao in front of him. “Boss, we have reached preliminary agreement, and we will further discuss related matters in the next few days. If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to finalize the plan within a week.”

“Speed up the progress. We don’t have much time to waste!” Zhou Chao’s tone also became heavier, not only directed at Ling Chen, but also at Jiang Youdao.

Perhaps Jiang Youdao had his own difficulties and wanted to maintain a balanced situation without offending anyone, but at this moment, decisiveness was needed, which showed that Jiang Youdao lacked the frontline working attitude!

It seemed that Jiang Youdao also felt the implication of these words, as his brow slightly furrowed.

“Xiao Chao, it’s late. Let’s go have dinner!”

“Dad, let’s do it another day. We still need to discuss the follow-up matters at the hotel. Let’s have dinner after we finish this matter!” Zhou Chao directly declined Jiang Youdao’s suggestion.

Opening his mouth, Jiang Youdao wanted to say something, but he remembered Zhou Chao’s previous words and nodded instead.

After the convoy left the compound, Ling Chen began to complain.

“Boss, your father-in-law is too compromising. I thought things would go smoothly with him around, but I didn’t expect this situation.”

Hearing Ling Chen’s complaint, Zhou Chao’s brow furrowed instantly. He had never heard Ling Chen complain like this before.

“Was there a difference between morning and afternoon?”

Ling Chen paused for a moment, recalling the events of the day, and said after a long thought, “There was some change in the afternoon, but it wasn’t much better.”

Zhou Chao nodded at his words. He knew that this matter couldn’t be delayed for too long. If it dragged on, there might be other variables!

After a moment of contemplation, he directly took out his phone and made a call.

Listening to Zhou Chao’s words and the faint voice on the other end of the phone, Ling Chen felt his back go damp.

After Zhou Chao hung up the phone, Ling Chen nervously asked, “Boss, will reporting your father-in-law like this cause you trouble?”

“I’m not afraid. If I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of!”

Meanwhile, Jiang Youdao, who had just returned home, received a call from Jingdu.

“Dad, why did you suddenly call me?”

The incoming call was from Xiao Lao, Jiang Youdao’s father-in-law. After all, Old Master Xiao’s temperament was straightforward, making him the most suitable person to give Jiang Youdao a lesson.

“Why? Can’t I call you? Or do you think you’re working on the front line now, your wings are strong enough to soar in the sky?”

Jiang Youdao’s heart skipped a beat, quickly licking his face and saying, “Dad, how could you say that!?”

“Why not? Have you forgotten how you got to where you are now? Have you forgotten what you should do while sitting in that position? Luckily, I’m the one calling you today. If it was someone else, you’d be in trouble!”

Hearing this, Jiang Youdao knew he had been reported by his good son-in-law.

“You little brat, reporting behind my back. I’ll teach you a lesson tomorrow!” Jiang Youdao roared angrily, completely forgetting that he was still on the phone.

On the other end of the line, Old Master Xiao was instantly furious upon hearing this. He angrily said, “Who do you want to teach!? Let me tell you, Jiang Youdao, if you don’t have the ability, roll back to Jingdu. There are plenty of people who envy you!”

“Your superiors want you to fully cooperate with Zhou Chao’s work, not to be compromising. If negotiations can’t be settled within three days, you’ll return to Jingdu on your own!” After saying this, Old Master Xiao hung up the phone directly.

Jiang Youdao stared at the disconnected phone, feeling dumbfounded. He was both angry and scared now.

“This brat really infuriates me. Do I not understand the seriousness of the situation? If I offend others, how will I carry out my future work!”

After complaining in his heart, Jiang Youdao sighed helplessly and took out a cigarette to smoke.

…

Perhaps it was because of that phone call, the negotiations proceeded very smoothly thereafter. It only took three days to settle all the matters, and the corresponding project plans were also perfected.
