“Direct call? Did No.1 give you his private number?” Old Master Xiao asked hurriedly.

“Yes!”

Hearing this, the two old gentlemen didn’t pay much attention, but Jiang Youdao and Xiao Zhong looked at him eagerly, even Xiao Yang’s eyes were burning with excitement.

Seeing his disappointing son-in-law and son, Old Master Xiao directly dispelled their thoughts.

“Don’t even think about it. Even if you were given the number, you wouldn’t dare to make that call!”

“Ahem, Dad, what are you saying? We don’t want the leader’s phone number, right, Youdao?”

“Yeah, yeah!” Jiang Youdao echoed hastily.

Old Master Xiao didn’t want to expose their intentions, so he turned to Zhou Chao and asked, “Did No.1 say where he wants you to establish this company?”

Although Old Master Xiao had been a soldier for decades, he had some understanding of these technologies, influenced by his distinguished son-in-law. He knew that artificial intelligence had broad applications, even in military training, so he was very concerned about it.

“It’s already been discussed. This company is planned to be set up in my hometown, Fog City!”

“Fog City!”

Jiang Old Master and Old Master Xiao exchanged a glance, both with a gleam of excitement in their eyes.

“Zhou Chao, does anyone else know about this?” Jiang Old Master asked urgently.

Zhou Chao was a little surprised by the seriousness of the old man’s expression but didn’t think much of it. He replied, “I don’t think so. It was a private conversation between me and No.1, but those few should know.”

Jiang Old Master nodded at his words, looking serious as he turned to Old Master Xiao and said, “We need to move faster. This is an opportunity. If we miss it, it will be difficult later!”

“Yes, I understand. Overall, we still have a chance, especially since we have some advantages on our side!”

The conversation between the two old gentlemen left Zhou Chao puzzled, completely unsure of their intentions. Even Jiang Youdao and Xiao Zhong looked baffled.

“Zhou Chao, besides this matter, did you talk to No.1 about anything else?”

“I just mentioned the desertification technology, but didn’t say much else!” Zhou Chao didn’t hide anything.

“Alright, then we won’t stay here any longer. Don’t leak anything about the company settling in Fog City for now. Even if someone asks, just stall for a couple of days. We’ll discuss the details with you once everything is arranged!”

After saying that, the two old gentlemen stood up and walked outside. Jiang Youdao and the others hurriedly followed. Zhou Chao didn’t react immediately.

He quickly got up and followed them.

Watching them get into the car and leave in a hurry, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

“Brother Chao, why did my grandpa and the others leave so hastily without much explanation? Did something big happen?” Jiang Li asked nervously, clutching Zhou Chao’s arm tightly.

Smiling and patting Jiang Li’s arm, he said, “It’s okay. Probably just some important matter.”

Though he said so, Zhou Chao was also puzzled. While he knew the two old gentlemen were likely trying to leverage the company settling in Fog City to gain something, he didn’t know their exact plan.

After pondering for a moment, he pushed the matter aside. There was no use in overthinking it. He was inexperienced in this area and completely clueless. Besides, it wasn’t something he could meddle in.

“Oh!”

Suddenly, Zhou Chao slapped his thigh, startling Jiang Li beside him.

“Brother Chao, what’s wrong? You scared me with your sudden move!” Jiang Li pouted, looking at Zhou Chao with a hint of complaint.

Looking at Jiang Li’s pouting lips, Zhou Chao lowered his head and kissed her amidst her exclamation.

After a while, Zhou Chao released the blushing Jiang Li.

“Brother Chao, if you can’t resist anymore, I can help you with that!” Jiang Li, with a shy expression, leaned against Zhou Chao’s chest, her small hand still drawing circles on Zhou Chao’s chest.

Zhou Chao chuckled and stroked Jiang Li’s head. “It’s been so long, I can wait a bit longer. I don’t want my precious one to get tired.”

With that, Zhou Chao’s fingers lightly traced across Jiang Li’s lips.
