“Also, who do you plan to put in charge of Dragonfly Group?”

“Boss, this might not be something that can be solved in a short time. Just building the headquarters and supporting labs alone will take quite some time. Even just a design blueprint will take at least ten days to half a month, not to mention everything else!”

Ling Chen’s excitement had faded by now. The thought of the short time frame mentioned by the boss also brought him some worries.

Just talking about the company’s headquarters, from site selection to design blueprints, these two alone would take at least a month. It’s not like building a commercial building directly where it can be completed in a short time!

“Don’t worry about this. Fog City will fully cooperate with us, and as for the design blueprints, let’s leave it to Xiao Guo. Fast and convenient!”

As soon as Zhou Chao finished speaking, his phone on the table lit up. “Ding dong~ Please rest assured, Boss. Xiao Guo only needs half an hour to design perfect blueprints!”

Hearing Xiao Guo’s somewhat mechanical voice, Zhou Chao looked at Ling Chen calmly, raising his eyebrows.

“With these issues solved by you, Boss, I don’t have any other questions. As for who to manage Dragonfly Group, I’m not sure. Why don’t you arrange it directly, Boss?”

Zhou Chao wasn’t surprised at Ling Chen’s words. Both were smart people who knew that such matters weren’t something Ling Chen could decide. If he recommended a certain executive to manage Dragonfly Group, it might make Zhou Chao suspect Ling Chen of forming factions.

Even if Zhou Chao didn’t mind, Ling Chen couldn’t guarantee that the person he recommended wouldn’t have any ulterior motives in the future. If any problems arose, Ling Chen would have to bear the corresponding responsibility.

It’s best to avoid suspicion and take a step back.

After contemplating for a moment, Zhou Chao’s mind flashed with the figures of those executives, and the whole room fell silent for a moment.

“Let Qin Ziwei temporarily take over. You’ll be responsible for supervision. If there are any problems, make corrections promptly! What do you think?” Zhou Chao finally decided to let this CFO steer the ship of Dragonfly Group.

“No problem, Boss. I wholeheartedly agree!”

“Don’t just agree. You still need to explain everything carefully. If there are any problems with Dragonfly, you can’t escape!” Zhou Chao chuckled inwardly. How could he just let go easily? He needed to keep an eye on things to feel reassured!

“Ah, Boss, isn’t it enough that Qin Ziwei is in charge? Why do I still have to oversee? I won’t be able to handle it if I have to watch both sides!” Ling Chen didn’t want to watch both sides. That would be too exhausting.

“Just temporarily. When Qin Ziwei gets familiar with it, you won’t have to worry about it anymore!”

Ling Chen also understood that Qin Ziwei couldn’t handle everything in the short term. After all, Dragonfly was also established by himself. Although there were better choices now, he still wanted Dragonfly to have a better future.

“Okay, Boss! Do you want to meet Qin Ziwei and chat with her?”

Zhou Chao shook his head at the suggestion. “No need to meet her. I already have enough understanding. I trust she’s capable of being in charge of Dragonfly Group.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Chao’s phone rang.

He picked it up to see it was a call from Jiang Li.

Zhou Chao answered the call directly.

“Brother Chao, are you still busy? Are you coming home for dinner?”

Zhou Chao checked the time. It was already six ten.

He glanced at Ling Chen and asked, “Shall we go to my house for dinner tonight?”

“Boss, I’ll pass. It’s Thursday today, and I promised Xiao Yang to take him out for KFC today!”

Zhou Chao nodded and said into the phone, “I’m done with work here. I’ll be back soon!”

“Okay.”

He hung up the phone after that.

“I’ve given you all the instructions. Arrange everything as soon as possible. If you have any problems, call me anytime. Oh, and in a couple of days, come with me to Fog City to coordinate with the person in charge there. It will help with your work progress in the future!”

With that, Zhou Chao stood up and walked towards the exit.

Ling Chen hurriedly followed.

It happened to be the end of the workday, and Zhou Chao saw many executives from the company.

Everyone was surprised to see Zhou Chao, not knowing when the boss had arrived at the company.

“Boss!”

“Boss!”

Zhou Chao politely nodded and walked straight into the elevator, with only Ling Chen following.

Zhou Chao didn’t pay much attention to this. After all, no one wanted to be lectured by the boss after work.

“Alright, you should go back early too!” Zhou Chao waved his hand at Ling Chen and got into his car.

Watching the boss leave, Ling Chen’s face finally showed an excited smile, even giving a victorious fist pump.

“Director Ling, why are you so happy? Share it with me!” A mature voice came from behind.

Ling Chen knew who it was without turning around.

“Miss Qin, if you had come two minutes earlier, you could have met the boss!”

The person approaching was Qin Ziwei, the CFO of Dragonfly Group, dressed in a professional business attire, looking competent.

“I just heard. By the time I came out, the boss had already taken the elevator down! Did the boss have any instructions this time?” Qin Ziwei walked up to Ling Chen, her eyes also looking in the direction where Zhou Chao had left.

“You’ll know soon enough!” Ling Chen said mysteriously.

“Hmm?” Qin Ziwei furrowed her brows slightly, a bit puzzled, and turned her head to ask about the situation, only to find Ling Chen had already walked towards the parking lot.

“What exactly is going on? It seems to be related to me?” Qin Ziwei murmured to herself, standing still in place, puzzled.
