As a Magnate, I Started Checking in at a Convenience Store

Chapter 708: Plan!

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Captain Liu called to inform Zhou Chao that the relevant documents for the case had been submitted to the court. He reminded Zhou Chao to pay attention to any notifications from the court.

“In the afternoon, I won’t be able to make it to the court. I’m entrusting the matter to you entirely, Attorney Chen!” Zhou Chao was on his way to the airport, heading directly to Peng City. He didn’t pay much mind to these trivial matters.

“Alright, Young Master Zhou, I’ll keep you updated on any developments.”

“Okay, thank you!” Zhou Chao hung up the phone.

As for why Zhou Chao was rushing to Peng City, it was mainly because Zhou Jilong had called to inform him that the production line for the lithography system was now stable enough for mass production. They needed to decide whether to announce it publicly and start selling. Additionally, Zhou Chao was planning to set up a supercomputing center and prepare a spacious new home for Xiao Guo, to make their future research path smoother.

Occasionally learning from research institutions in other countries to enrich his knowledge base was also a good idea.

By the time Zhou Chao arrived in Peng City, it was already two in the afternoon. He had originally planned to go directly to Canghai Technology, but he received a message from Attorney Chen stating that the trial would officially begin in half an hour. If Zhou Chao wanted to watch, he could apply for a live broadcast.

After some consideration, Zhou Chao declined Attorney Chen’s suggestion.

“Lin Wu, let’s go back to the hotel first. We’ll go to the company tomorrow!” Zhou Chao suddenly said.

Lin Wu, sitting in the passenger seat, was taken aback for a moment, then signaled the driver to head to the hotel. At the same time, he sent a message to Xu Yu and Zhou Jilong, informing them of the boss’s schedule.

After arriving at the hotel, they directly checked into the presidential suite that had been arranged in advance. They instructed the exclusive butler of the presidential suite to arrange some food. After all, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu hadn’t eaten lunch yet.

The speed of their hotel was quite fast. Zhou Chao had originally thought it would be Chinese cuisine, but to his surprise, it was Western cuisine, and not just one style. Upon a simple glance, he could see at least three different national styles of cuisine. It seemed that they knew what their boss liked and were prepared to showcase their culinary skills in front of him!

As Zhou Chao’s eyes were still fixed on the food, he heard a loud choke from beside him, which made him chuckle. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

“Eat up, the food won’t taste as good when it gets cold.”

They had prepared two servings of each dish, and most of them were meat, such as steak and kebabs. There was only one vegetarian dish, which was a fruit salad.

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, Lin Wu sat directly opposite him and began to eat heartily, holding a skewer of meat in each hand.

Although Lin Wu’s behavior seemed a bit reckless, it was exceptionally refreshing. Men should enjoy eating meat heartily.

Zhou Chao didn’t imitate Lin Wu’s hearty eating style. After all, he was also a person with status, and besides, there was a dedicated butler standing next to him. He only picked up a skewer of meat and began to savor it.

The two of them ate quickly. In less than twenty minutes, all the food on the table had been devoured. Towards the end, Lin Wu even shamelessly asked Zhou Chao for another skewer of meat.

“Inform them that the chef team who prepared this meal will all receive commendations. As for the specific rewards, let the leadership decide. Also, let them know to prepare another meal tonight!” Zhou Chao wiped his mouth with a napkin and said casually.

Upon hearing this, the exclusive manager’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Although it wasn’t his achievement, he knew that the rewards were inevitable. Moreover, receiving recognition from the boss meant that they might receive a big bonus from the hotel management!

After the exclusive butler cleaned up the table, he respectfully said to Zhou Chao, “Alright, boss, I’ll go down now. If you need anything, you can call me on the landline. I’ll be right next door!”

“Okay, go ahead!” Zhou Chao felt a bit full and nodded lightly.

The exclusive butler promptly wheeled the food cart out of the presidential suite.

It was only then that Zhou Chao picked up his phone and read the message Lawyer Chen had sent him ten minutes ago.

Upon reading the message, Zhou Chao was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected the trial of this case to last less than fifteen minutes. The process went incredibly smoothly, with the defendant admitting everything before he even had a chance to speak. They were also willing to compensate Zhou Chao for his losses, even offering to double the amount.

Ultimately, under the judge’s deliberation, the suspect Yuan Yang was sentenced to one and a half years in prison without parole.?While in principle, Yuan Yang’s actions could have warranted a sentence of over ten years, the judge took into account the defendant’s sincere attitude and the fact that he was only sixteen, which mitigated his culpability. Otherwise, the judge would not have been so lenient.

After some thought, Zhou Chao sent a message to Lawyer Chen, instructing him, “Have him practice sewing machine skills while he’s in there, and ensure there are no incidents like medical parole!”

Lawyer Chen quickly responded, assuring Zhou Chao that he would monitor the situation closely.

Although this matter had come to a close, Zhou Chao’s bicycle was gone forever. He would have to ask Trek Madone Company to send another one over whenever they could.

After resting at the hotel for a day, Zhou Chao and Lin Wu set off for Canghai Technology early the next morning.

When they arrived at the company, there weren’t many people in the industrial park yet. After all, it wasn’t yet time to start work; Canghai Technology usually started at ten o’clock.
