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

How Bad!

“System check-in.”

“Congratulations to the host on acquiring 100% ownership of PricewaterhouseCoopers.”

“PricewaterhouseCoopers?” Zhou Chao murmured to himself.

Zhou Chao had heard of PricewaterhouseCoopers. It was an accounting firm and one of the top firms in the world in the accounting industry.

Although PricewaterhouseCoopers was relatively young, the company had performed remarkably well in management consulting, becoming the third- largest strategic consulting business in the world, with over 150,000 employees spread across 150 countries or regions.

Thinking about the scope of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ work, Zhou Chao chuckled inwardly. It just so happened that he lacked talent in various areas. In the future, he wouldn’t have to worry too much about the finances, human resources, and corporate planning and management personnel of the entire group. Whenever there was a need for talent in any aspect, he could simply arrange for training by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

“Zhou, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been mumbling to yourself since earlier, and now you’re smiling foolishly. Are you thinking of something beautiful?” Abdullah’s voice sounded from the side.

Zhou Chao came to his senses and glanced at Abdullah and his mocking expression, knowing exactly what he was thinking!

Zhou Chao rolled his eyes at him. “Hey, can you have healthier thoughts? Always thinking about dirty things. I’m a decent person, you know? Do you think I’m like you?”

“Wow, Ilya, did you hear what Zhou just said? He called himself a decent person. I don’t believe it, and I’m sure you don’t either!” Abdullah burst into laughter at the end.

Ilya, who was concentrating on fishing, had a faint smile on his face. He looked at Zhou Chao seriously and said, “I don’t believe it either. Birds of a feather flock together. Zhou, do you dare say that if you see a beautiful woman, you won’t even take a glance?”

“I’ll look, of course. After all, I’m curious about beautiful things, but I’ll admire from afar and not indulge.”

“Tch!” Abdullah and Ilya said in unison.

Suddenly, Zhou Chao stood up abruptly, his fishing rod in hand, and saw a small autumn white salmon emerge from the water.

“Got one!” Zhou Chao looked somewhat smugly at the two beside him.

“What’s there to be proud of? It’s just the beginning. We don’t know who’ll have the last laugh. Ilya, don’t you agree?” Abdullah couldn’t help retorting. After all, he had been fishing for almost half an hour without even a bite.

Ilya didn’t say anything, just silently looked at the fish bucket beside him, which contained nothing but water.

Time passed quietly, and soon an hour had gone by. Zhou Chao had caught nearly seven or eight fish by now, while Abdullah and Ilya still hadn’t seen a single fish.

“Oh, another autumn white salmon, probably about two pounds.” Zhou Chao looked teasingly at the two of them. Seeing that they didn’t respond, he didn’t continue to taunt them.

“Liya, you’ve been sitting here for so long. Are you feeling uncomfortable? Shall we go rest in the cabin?”

“Right, the wind on the lake is so cold that it’s unbearable. I feel like my body is freezing. Let’s go rest in the cabin first.”

Abdullah and Ilya put down their fishing rods and quickly walked towards the cabin without even looking at Zhou Chao.

Seeing the two of them leaving in a hurry, Zhou Chao smiled triumphantly. He knew he had struck a chord with them. After all, they had their pride, and catching not a single fish made them lose face.

“Hey, now you know how awesome your brother Chao is.” Zhou Chao shook his head gently as he watched the two of them enter the cabin, then continued to focus on fishing.

Lin Wu also quietly approached Zhou Chao from behind and whispered, “Boss, will it be risky to tell them about the big gold mine? Do we need to send more people from China just in case?”

“No need. Everything is within my plan. Don’t worry, they won’t do anything out of line. By the way, have all the documents arranged by Ling Chen earlier been processed properly?” Zhou Chao turned his head and asked. When he discovered this gold mine earlier, he had arranged for the relevant procedures to be processed starting from early morning.

“Boss, rest assured, they’ve all been taken care of long ago!” Lin Wu quickly took out his phone and sent the relevant documents to Zhou Chao’s phone.

Since it was about obtaining a mining exploration and exploitation permit within his ranch area, the procedures were processed very quickly.

“Well, then there’s nothing to worry about. When their people come for exploration tomorrow, don’t forget to take pictures for remembrance. This is going to be a world-shocking piece of news,” Zhou Chao said, a mischievous smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

“Don’t worry, boss. You’re definitely the kind of person who covers all bases.” Lin Wu, behind him, was also excited. He knew the boss’s tricks well, after all, he had done this kind of thing more than once or twice.

“Alright, you take over fishing. I should go inside and bond with those two young gentlemen.” Zhou Chao handed the fishing rod to Lin Wu and turned to walk into the cabin.

Watching Zhou Chao’s back, Lin Wu couldn’t help but pray for those two young masters. He hoped the boss would go easy on them. “I wonder how much those two young masters are willing to invest. It should be a hefty sum.”
