Chapter 471: Unexpected Surprise

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Wang Lan walked into the office and immediately noticed the people seated on the sofa, especially Zhou Chao, who occupied the main seat. Startled, she dropped her bag when she glanced at Li Wei. Wang Lan understood that their relationship had been exposed to the boss.

“Boss!”

“Cand have a seat,” Zhou Chao said with a slight smile. He wasn’t too upset with Wang Lan, considering her pregnancy. However, when it cto Li Wei, he was furious, as he saw a lack of responsibility in him.

Wang Lan nodded and realized her bag had fallen to the floor. She hurriedly picked it up before approaching Li Wei and taking a seat beside him.

“Both of you are here. Now, tell me, how do you plan to resolve this matter?” Zhou Chao lifted a teacup and took a sip, clearing his throat.

Before Wang Lan could respond, Li Wei spoke up, “Boss, the main responsibility for this matter lies with me. 1 will resign.”

Zhou Chao nearly choked on his tea, spitting it out. He slammed the teacup on the table and angrily ordered, “Get out! Stand outside and think it over before you cback to talk to me.”

Li Wei looked bewildered, but Lin Wu quickly signaled for him to leave.

After Li Wei left, Zhou Chao sighed heavily. He looked at everyone and asked, “Am 1 someone who lacks compassion? How did 1 not realize that Li Wei is so inflexible and narrow-minded?”

Lin Wu, Wang Lan, and the others remained silent, sitting upright.

Zhou Chao glanced at Lin Wu, signaling him to wipe the spilled tea from the table. Then, he turned to Wang Lan.

“You two have been in a relationship for a while now. How did your hospital checkup go today? Are you both expecting a child?” Zhou Chao discreetly gestured towards Wang Lan’s belly.

Wang Lan didn’t hide anything. She gently touched her belly and replied with a hint of happiness, “Yes, it’s been over a month.”

“When do you plan to get married? You can’t just keep going like this.”

Zhou Chao’s words left Wang Lan in silence for a moment. After a long pause, she replied, “I’ve talked to Li Wei about getting married. He said he doesn’t have tfor it right now. The Fuxing Steel Plant is just starting to pick up, and he doesn’t want his personal matters to hinder the company’s development. 1 understand him and want to establish a career first.”

Zhou Chao fell silent for a while too, pondering before asking, “I remember you’re from Jingdu, right?”

“Yes, boss.”

Zhou Chao lightly tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingers.

“Marriage is inevitable, and it should happen soon. Your belly is showing more every day, and we can’t delay it any further. But your job needs to be adjusted. You can’t stay at Fuxing anymore. You should go back to Jingdu. 1 have a golf club in the suburbs; you can take a position there. It will make it easier for you to take care of yourself in the future.”

Zhou Chao’s words surprised Wang Lan greatly. She had thought she might be dismissed, considering the office romance and the deliberate secrecy. She never expected her boss wouldn’t punish them.

“Thank you, boss!” Wang Lan stood up excitedly.

“I’m just putting a ‘home’ shackle on that irresponsible man at the door,” Zhou Chao said, glancing towards the door as if he could see Li Wei standing there.

Hearing Zhou Chao’s words, everyone in the room burst into laughter. Although Zhou Chao was now married, Lin Wu and Wang Lan were both insightful, and they understood what he meant.

With most of the matter resolved, Zhou Chao and Wang Lan began discussing why she fell for Li Wei, and the office was filled with joy and laughter.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!” Just as they were happily chatting, Zhou Chao’s phone, placed on the table, started ringing.

“Hello, is there something important at this hour, Ling Chen?”

“Boss, there’s something important to report.” Ling Chen’s voice sounded a bit trembling.

From Ling Chen’s tone, Zhou Chao could tell that he was very excited, indicating that something significant had happened.

“What’s making you so happy? Tell me,” Zhou Chao said with a smile.

“Boss, our people at your farm near Lake Baikal have discovered a gold mine. After professional geological experts conducted surveys, it’s confirmed to be a super-large gold mine with an estimated content of 40 million ounces!” Ling Chen’s voice trembled towards the end.

Upon hearing the 40 million ounces of gold content, Zhou Chao stood up from the sofa. He asked again, “Is this information really true?”

“It’s true. I’ve already arranged for the people who discovered it, along with the geological experts, to be sent back to the country. The news hasn’t leaked yet, and only a few people know about it.”

“I see. This matter should be kept confidential for now. Those who are in the know should stay at home, and all their needs should be met. Also, the bonuses must be substantial.”

“Boss, you can rest assured. I’ve already made the arrangements.”

“Good. After I deal with things here, I’ll return as soon as possible.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao noticed that Lin Wu and the others were staring at him with surprised expressions.

Everyone regained their composure and laughed. Lin Wu, who knew better, asked, “Boss, what good news got you so excited? Nothing before has made you react like this..”
