Shenhao starts to sign in from the canteen

Chapter 523 Hot pot needs to be spicy!

Zhou Chao drove to the old alley in Shichahai in a hurry, turned around and arrived at the courtyard of Xiao's family, greeted the two guards at the door, and walked quickly into the courtyard.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw the little old man sitting leisurely on a recliner drinking tea, and there was an old antique radio next to it, playing the classic Peking Opera Daomadan!

Seeing the old man with his eyes closed, he put his hands on his thighs and beat them from time to time following the rhythm of Daomadan.

Zhou Chao smiled and did not speak, but walked straight to the recliner next to Mr. Xiao and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea and drank it leisurely.

After about seven or eight minutes, the old man had no intention of speaking, and the tea in Zhou Chao's hand was refilled twice.

It wasn't until the Beijing opera on the radio stopped that Mr. Xiao opened his eyes and looked at him and said, "Your energy-raising skills are not good enough, you have to learn more!"

Zhou Chao was stunned for a moment, then nodded when he came back to his senses, "Understood, old man!"

He said he knew it, but he secretly complained in his heart: "Really, I hurriedly called to ask me to come over, thinking it was something important, but when I came here, I listened to a song and said that I was raising my spirits." I can't work hard enough, hey, I've let you talk all the time, but I can still talk nonsense!"

Although he was complaining in his heart, there was still a teachable expression on his face.

Mr. Xiao nodded in relief. If he knew what Zhou Chao was thinking, he would have to put that old-fashioned radio on Zhou Chao's head.

"I did a good job this time, with ideas and responsibility, which is the attitude that an excellent entrepreneur should have."

Hearing this, Zhou Chao couldn't help curling his lips, "Anyone can carry the old man and the bridal sedan chair, can you be a little more practical, what's the use of just saying a few words of reward, or you keep talking to the higher-ups, first What do you think of exempting my companies from taxation for ten years!"

After speaking, Zhou Chao looked at Mr. Xiao with a grin!
Seeing Zhou Chao's brazen smile, the old man gave him an annoyed look, "You kid is really a lion, you must know that the annual tax revenue of the industries under your banner is at least tens of billions, and you really want to avoid it for ten years." Taxes, that can’t be hundreds of billions!”

Zhou Chao didn't hold out much hope at the beginning. Its two largest technology and steel-making enterprises have tax exemptions. Of course, if they can be exempted, that would be the best.

"Tch, old man, you know how much I lost this time. I roughly calculated it. At least it looks like tens of billions of dollars!"

It’s okay not to mention, but the old man became even more angry when he talked about it, "You boy, I don’t know what you are planning, hmph, you are getting more and more courageous, even the higher-ups dare to calculate, if it weren’t for this profit The disadvantages outweigh the disadvantages, and at least you will be scolded!"

Zhou Chao couldn't continue arguing anymore, picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then muttered in a low voice: "The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, it's clear that all the advantages are good or not, I really don't accept the benefits."

"What are you mumbling about? Don't think I can't hear you when I'm old. How can you speak louder!" Seeing Zhou Chao's aggrieved expression, Mr. Xiao scolded with a smile.

Zhou Chao rolled his eyes, and said pretending to be wronged, "In the first place, I can be regarded as a great hero this time, so let's not praise it, and say it's my fault. Hey, in the future, if such a good thing happens, I'll just do it." I can find someone else."

Mr. Xiao is also a human being, so he doesn't know what Zhou Chao is thinking, but he also knows that he can't continue to belittle him. Although he wanted to suppress his arrogance at the beginning, it seems that the result is useless.

"Ahem, generally speaking, things have been done well this time. Both your father-in-law and your uncle have successfully gained a foothold. Alas, thanks to Xiaochao, otherwise it would be up to the two of them. How many years will it take to fight?"

Mr. Xiao was also deeply moved. If Zhou Chao hadn't appeared, it might have taken Jiang Youdao and Xiao Zhong ten years to cross that threshold.

Speaking of which, Zhou Chao looked at Mr. Xiao and asked curiously: "Mr., does the person above the controllable nuclear fusion have any thoughts now!"

Mr. Xiao gave him a serious look, "You are worrying about these things!"

However, the old man was silent for a moment and continued: "Actually, it's okay to tell you, this technology has already started, and you also know that it will take time, and it won't be produced in a short while, maybe in the near future you will see science fiction movies The aerospace fighters inside!"

"Space and space fighter?" Zhou Chao was a little dazed, and began to conceive the feasibility of the space and space battle in his mind. As the owner of controllable nuclear fusion, he knew this technology like the back of his hand.

"Well, the higher-ups have approved this plan, and named it Luanniao Project!" Mr. Xiao said excitedly, knowing that they were the ones who proposed this plan in the first place.

Zhou Chao couldn't help muttering to himself: "The Luanniao Project? This name is really ugly. If you want me to call it the Nantianmen Project, it's full of mythology, and the plan is in place in one step. It's like an aerospace aircraft carrier, a space starship, etc. Yes, this is much better than your aerospace plane!"

"The Nantianmen Project? Aerospace aircraft carrier?" Mr. Xiao was a little confused when he heard Zhou Chao's words. They hadn't thought about it. Thinking about it, what Zhou Chao said seemed quite reasonable.

But soon Mr. Xiao figured it out, looked at Zhou Chao angrily and said, "Empty aircraft carrier, space starship, do you know how many aircraft carriers we have now, two, only two!"

Zhou Chao smiled awkwardly, and it is true that with the current domestic manufacturing technology, such things as aerospace aircraft carriers are indeed far away.

The old man picked up his teacup and took a sip, "However, the Nantianmen plan you mentioned is indeed much better than Luanniao. Tell the higher-ups when the time comes."

Zhou Chao also knew that it was not good to continue the previous topic, so he rolled his eyes, "Old man, you called me here today to talk about these things, right?"

"Why, aren't these things important?" Mr. Xiao gave Zhou Chao a very calm look.

Just as Zhou Chao wanted to say it wasn't important, he saw Mr. Xiao's piercing eyes looking at him quietly.

Swallowing her saliva, she quickly took back the words on her lips, "It's important, it must be important!"

"That's right!" After finishing speaking, the old man put down the teacup in his hand, turned on the antique radio, and listened to Peking Opera again.

Seeing this, Zhou Chao also put down the teacup in his hand and stood up, "Old man, if it's okay, I'll go back first!"

Mr. Xiao waved his hand, and Zhou Chao thought about going outside.

After walking a few steps, I heard Mr. Xiao say: "Go slowly, the road is solid!"

Zhou Chao stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Mr. Xiao who closed his eyes and meditated, and smiled, "Understood, Mr. Xiao!"

After Zhou Chao finished speaking, he strode away from the courtyard. The old man who had closed his eyes and meditated only then opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Chao's leaving back with a look of relief.

Compared with the hurried look when he came, he looked a lot more relaxed when he went back.

Walking slowly out of the old alley, Zhou Chao was thinking about the purpose of the old man calling him over all the way, and he definitely didn't just talk about this matter, after all, it's not worth the old man calling him personally to ask him to come over.

Thinking of the old man's last words before he left, tell him to walk slowly, is it implying that his business should not expand too fast, and that he should develop slowly in a down-to-earth manner?
Think about the development of your own group is not fast
Zhou Chao didn't think about it for a while, so he could only keep the matter in his heart, and looked in the direction of the alley, "Oh, the old people nowadays don't talk about martial arts, and they talk around the bush!"

Sighing lightly, without thinking about it any more, he drove the car towards home.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when I got home, and Zhou Chao walked out of the elevator with a depressed look on his face.

Driving for two hours and chatting for two to 10 minutes would make anyone feel depressed.

Jiang Li sat on the sofa and looked at Zhou Chao curiously, "What's the matter, brother Chao, with a sad face, where did you hit a wall with Grandpa?"

"That's not true. I just chatted for a few minutes and came back. I thought there was something big, but there was nothing!" Zhou Chao said, sitting next to Jiang Li, and stretched out his left hand to touch Jiang Li's face. pregnant.

Jiang Li leaned on Zhou Chao's shoulder and whispered, "Brother Chao, when are you going to return to Wudu, do you want me to go back with you?"

"Do you want to go back with me to meet those elders?" Zhou Chao said, kissing Jiang Li's head lightly.

"I want to go back and meet with you!" Jiang Li raised his head and looked at him with those three-point surprise and seven-point expectation eyes.

"Okay, since you want to, let's go back together tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

……

The next morning the two got up early.

"Brother Chao, tell me how many changes of clothes I should bring, one suitcase or two suitcases!" Jiang Li asked while standing in the changing room.

"What are you thinking? Let's stay for two or three days when we go back. We'll come back when we're done. We don't need to bring too many clothes!"

"Aren't I thinking that when I see your elders dress more formally, it will improve your face!"

Zhou Chao smiled and pinched Jiang Li's nose, "You are such a clever little ghost, as for supporting me and raising face, forget it, your husband, I am not such a vain person!"

"Okay!" Jiang Li didn't hesitate after hearing this, and randomly picked a few more formal clothes, which just happened to fill a small suitcase with Zhou Chao's clothes.

After the two of them packed their clothes, Zhou Chao walked down the stairs with the suitcase in hand. Seeing Aunt Kuang and the others cleaning up, Zhou Chao explained to Aunt Kuang that he and Jiang Li were going back home. It was foggy for a few days, so the three of them took turns to arrange vacations.

When I walked out of the yard, I saw two Rolls-Royces parked at the door, and there were two men in suits standing beside each car.

"Boss, good morning!" Several men in suits shouted in unison. These people were the bodyguards who came back from Maoxiong Kingdom with Zhou Chao.

Originally, Zhou Chao didn't want to take these bodyguards back, but he thought that if something happened, at least there were people around him, so he arranged for today's return to Wudu last night.

One of the men who seemed to be the leader stepped forward quickly and took the suitcase from Zhou Chao's hand.

Zhou Chao held Jiang Li's hand and got into the Rolls-Royce behind him. Under the watchful eyes of many passers-by, the two Rolls-Royces merged into the traffic flow.

Kyoto is always crowded in the morning, and it takes an hour and a half to drive from home to the airport.

"If I had known I would leave later, I wouldn't have to be stuck on the road for so long." Jiang Li said helplessly after getting off the car.

"Isn't this just thinking about going back early, and forgetting about the traffic jam in the capital in the morning, what's more, let's have a hot pot meal in Fog City, and reward our Miss Jiang." Zhou Chao said jokingly.

"That's what you said, don't go back on your word!" Jiang Li was a little tired of eating all kinds of light food at home every day, and when he heard about eating hot pot, his whole body became more energetic.

"necessary!"

Jiang Li has been pregnant for more than three months now, and eating a little spicy food like hot pot doesn't have much effect.

The two walked into the airport talking and laughing, and the four bodyguards behind them followed closely, attracting a lot of attention along the way, until Zhou Chao and his party walked into the fast lane, these gazes disappeared without a trace.

Two hours later, Zhou Chao and his party successfully landed at Wudu Jiangbei Airport, took two special cars that had been waiting for a long time, and went straight to Fuzhou.

"Didn't you agree to eat hot pot at noon, why did you go back to Fuzhou directly?" Jiang Li pouted and looked at Zhou Chao angrily.

Zhou Chao said solemnly: "It's the same when you go back to eat, you have to trust me, this foggy boy!"

Jiang Li stared at Zhou Chao for a while, seemed to think of something, and then said with a smile: "All right, I'm not the only one being abused anyway."

After speaking, Jiang Li rubbed his belly and complained in a low voice: "Honey, it's not mom who doesn't give you good food, it's your father who doesn't give you food. It's all your father's fault. Don't blame mom!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chao felt that his head was covered with black lines, and even the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhou Chao glanced at the bodyguard in front of him, his eyes showed a trace of coolness, which made the bodyguard sit up straight in fright.

Gently patted Jiang Li's hand, "Okay, when we get to Fuzhou, we will find the best hot pot."

Jiang Li suppressed a smile and nodded, Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly when he saw this, for sure what he said would come true.

Zhou Chao cast his eyes on the bodyguard of the co-driver, "Xiao Liu, find a delicious hot pot restaurant, and go directly to Fuzhou when you arrive in Fuzhou, and tell the car in front of you by the way."

The bodyguard on the co-pilot was also the lead man who was carrying the suitcase before. His name was Liu Jie, and Zhou Chao didn't know his name until he was on the plane.

"Okay, boss!" Xiao Liu responded, and took out his mobile phone to look at it.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when Zhou Chao and the others arrived in Fuzhou. According to Xiao Liu's search for the best hot pot on the Internet, the group headed directly to the hot pot restaurant.

"Southern Duck Intestine King!" Zhou Chao took a look at the name of the store and walked in with Jiang Li and others.

Maybe it was because Zhou Chao and the others came late, there were only two or three tables of people still eating in the restaurant.

Smelling the scent, Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao excitedly.

Zhou Chao looked at Li, the foodie, and asked the waiter to serve the dishes. He ordered a portion of everything on the menu. Afraid Jiang Li would not be used to the bottom of the pot, he ordered a slightly spicy one, and at the same time asked the accompanying bodyguards to sit down together. , after all, hot pot needs more people to eat it to be lively!

Seeing the dishes appearing in front of him, Jiang Li couldn't help but see that the soup in the pot was also boiling, so he scalded a few goose intestines.

Once the goose intestines were cooked, I couldn't help but feed them into my mouth, "Hiss, it's so spicy and delicious!"

Jiang Li was hot and happy for a while.
