Upon hearing this, Qin Ziwei couldn’t contain his excitement, and a smile had already spread across her face.

“Boss, rest assured, I will complete the task as soon as possible, striving to complete the merger task early!”

On the other hand, Fucheng and Zhaofang were left puzzled. Could the film and television companies under the boss be even more formidable than ours? However, the boss’ mention of film and television bases and cinema chains seemed a bit exaggerated.

“Boss, when you mentioned film and television bases and cinema chains, what did you mean?” Fucheng asked curiously.

“Oh, about that,” Zhou Chao explained, “I own both of the film and television bases in Zhejiang Province. The cinema chain is the top one in the country, known as the Modu United Cinema Chain. Currently, they are managed separately, but once everything here is in order, they will also merge into the new company.”

Fucheng and Zhaofang were both stunned by this information. They could hardly believe it and asked, “Boss, are you referring to Xiangshan Film and Television City and Hengdian?”

“Yes.” Zhou Chao nodded gently.

Fucheng quickly did some mental calculations. Just the two film and television bases and a cinema chain were worth more than twice the estimated value of Hua Hong Films. Not to mention the film and television companies separating from the group, and from Qin Ziwei’s expression earlier, it was clear they were not ordinary.

“Ding dong!” Just as Fucheng was lost in thought, his phone on the table rang. He glanced at it and saw that the funds for the previous transaction had arrived, a staggering sum of over twenty billion!

Zhou Chao also noticed the message but didn’t comment. Instead, he turned to Qin Ziwei and said, “The people you brought with you can stay with you for now. Once things here settle down, you can arrange accordingly. With that, the matters are considered resolved, and I’ll take my leave!”

“Boss, please wait!”

Just as he was about to get up, Zhao Fang called out to Zhou Chao.

“Hmm? Is there something else?”

Zhao Fang looked at Fucheng beside her and, with his support, took a deep breath before saying, “Boss, I’m sorry for what happened before. We embarrassed you!”

“The previous incident? Are you talking about the incident with Ruo Yun? It’s a trivial matter. Now that we’re all one big family, and Ruo Yun has also joined my film and television company, you shouldn’t make things difficult for him in the future,” Zhou Chao said with a meaningful tone.

“Alright, it’s getting late, and I’ll take my leave.”

“Boss, how about having a meal together?” Fucheng quickly suggested, as this was a crucial moment for building rapport.

Zhou Chao waved his hand and replied, “That’s not necessary. Running the company well is the best way to repay me. You three have a good chat, so there won’t be any conflicts in the future. Don’t blame me if there are any.”

With that, Zhou Chao got up and walked towards the exit. Fucheng wanted to see him off, but Zhou Chao declined, leaving Fucheng silently impressed with the young boss.

After leaving Huaxia, the two of them headed straight to the parking lot.

“Boss, do you need me to drive you back?”

Zhou Chao gave him an annoyed look and said, “What’s the rush now? No need. Just drop me off at the hotel first!”

Lin Wu chuckled awkwardly, then opened the rear door of the Rolls-Royce. After Zhou Chao got in, he took the driver’s seat.

Fortunately, the hotel wasn’t too far away. Lin Wu dropped Zhou Chao off at the hotel and bid him farewell. He then arranged for the hotel to provide transportation to the airport.

Watching Lin Wu’s flustered departure, Zhou Chao shook his head with a smile. “It seems like he’s been quite stressed lately. Maybe I should let him relax a bit in the future?”

But he quickly dismissed the idea. After all, the boss was upright and honest, so how could he lead those close to him astray? That wouldn’t be a good influence on the boss’s integrity.

Upon returning to the room, Jiang Li was still lying lazily on the bed, sound asleep. Zhou Chao walked up to her, gazing at her delicate lips, and gently planted a kiss.

Jiang Li, who was dozing off, instantly woke up. She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before her, playfully tapped Zhou Chao’s back with her small hand, and passionately responded. In no time, the room was filled with a solo performance.
