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

Chapter 715: Surprise! (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, everyone felt their stomachs growl. After all, they hadn’t had breakfast in the morning, and after a busy morning, they were now quite hungry.

When Zhou Chao and his group arrived at the cafeteria, there weren’t many people left.

Mainly because after the expansion of Canghai Technology, Zhou Chao built a cafeteria in each area, so employees didn’t have to go far to eat.

The cafeteria they were in now was the original one, staffed by skilled chefs.

The cafeteria staff, who were preparing to clean up, stopped when they saw the boss and his group arrive.

The few of them found a seat at random and sat down, while Xu Yu went to the kitchen to give some instructions, urging them to prepare a table of dishes as quickly as possible.

In no time, the kitchen became bustling with activity.

The kitchen staff worked swiftly, and before long, a table full of home-cooked dishes appeared on the dining table. The group, who were already growling with hunger, immediately grabbed their chopsticks and started eating.

Especially Lan Ling and Zhou Jilong, who seemed to be eating as if they hadn’t had a meal in ages, quickly finished two bowls of rice each, paying no attention to their own image.

After about ten minutes, the group finished their meal, leaving nothing but empty plates on the table.

The chefs in the kitchen were amazed; they hadn’t expected rich people to be so hungry!

After finishing their meal, Zhou Chao sent Xu Yu and the others away. After all, they all had their own things to do, and following him around all the time wasn’t necessary.

Before Xu Yu left, Zhou Chao specifically instructed him to go see Ye Zhengfeng and confirm the arrangements they had discussed earlier.

As for why Zhou Chao didn’t go himself, well, now that Canghai Technology was under Xu Yu’s management, if he were to handle these matters himself, what would Xu Yu do?

Besides, it would also allow Xu Yu to establish a presence in front of Ye Zhengfeng. If there were any future development needs, he could directly approach him.

After everyone left, Zhou Chao took Lin Wu for a leisurely stroll around the park.

Compared to before, the park had many more facilities now, and it had improved significantly!

Zhou Chao quickly finished touring the semiconductor factory area and then headed towards Phase Two with Lin Wu.

As soon as they reached the boundary between Phase One and Phase Two, they were stopped by a gate.

“Do you have a card?” Zhou Chao turned to Lin Wu and asked.

“Who carries that around?” Lin Wu replied.

Zhou Chao knew he had asked a silly question; after all, Lin Wu had been following him since the completion of Phase Two.

After looking around and not seeing anyone else, Zhou Chao took out his phone and placed it on the scanner.

The gate opened automatically the next second, leaving Lin Wu stunned!

“Boss, how did you do that? Teach me!” Lin Wu looked at Zhou Chao excitedly.

“First, you need to have a smart brain, and second, you need an AI like Xiao Guo!” Zhou Chao boasted, waving his phone in his hand, then walked in confidently.

“Humph!”

Praising his own intelligence like this, he was shameless!

Upon entering Phase Two, Zhou Chao noticed that this area was more advanced than Phase One. It seemed that a lot of effort had been put into it in the later stages!

As they passed by the lithography machine project, Zhou Chao originally wanted to go in and take a look, but then he thought it would be better not to disturb the researchers, especially since he had already seen it before.

After a brief tour, Zhou Chao sent a message to Xu Yu and then drove back to the hotel!

When Zhou Chao returned to the hotel, he realized that he hadn’t yet handed over the chip technology to Zhou Jilong and Lan Ling, and he had also forgotten about the promise to create a clone of Xiao Guo.

Now it would be troublesome to go back, so Zhou Chao decided to take matters into his own hands and remotely deliver a clone of Xiao Guo to Zhou Jilong and Lan Ling.

Back in his bedroom, he took out a laptop from the warehouse and briefed Xiao Guo on the situation, leaving the rest to it!

Xiao Guo was very slick and quietly infiltrated Canghai Technology. Soon, it found Zhou Jilong!

Zhou Jilong was looking at previous experiment data when suddenly the computer screen changed, startling him to his feet.

Just as he was about to shout about a hacker intrusion, he saw a familiar cartoon character appear on the desktop.

“Xiao… Xiao Guo!” Zhou Jilong exclaimed in surprise!

“Hi, Professor Zhou, the boss asked me to bring you some warmth!”

“What kind of warmth? You’re not going to join us, are you?” Zhou Jilong rubbed his hands excitedly. If that were the case, he could take off right away!

“Um, what are you thinking?” Xiao Guo retorted unexpectedly.

That extinguished Zhou Jilong’s excitement!

“What did the boss ask you to bring us?”

“Well, first, it’s my little clone. Although its strength is only a fraction of mine, it’s more than enough for you guys!”

As it spoke, Xiao Guo pulled out a cute little mini-version of itself from behind and some code began to appear on the desktop.

As the code flashed, the little clone also gradually came to life. When the code stopped, a lively little Xiao Guo appeared on the screen.

“I’ve set you three as administrators, and there’s also data on 1 nanometer chip stored in the little clone. You can take your time to look at it after I leave.”

“Oh, and you, Lan Ling, and Xu Yu were all installed simultaneously, so there’s no priority for you individually. Alright, my task is done, bye!”

With that, the screen flashed, and the big version of Xiao Guo disappeared, leaving only a poorly developed little version on the screen, curiously examining its surroundings.

Zhou Jilong’s eyes burned with excitement. Besides its own functions, there was also the technical data on the 1nm chip. He could hardly contain his eagerness to take a look!

Calming down his excited heart, he took out his phone and sent a three-way video call to Lan Ling and Xu Yu.

The next second, both of them answered, and they could see each other’s excited faces!

“You both received it!” the three of them said in unison.

The next second, they all burst into laughter!

“Just now, I tried a simple experiment. I can instantly control all the surveillance devices in the company, including the ones in your secret labs!”

Xu Yu shared his newfound knowledge with the excitement of a child who got a new toy!

“I still don’t know the specific functions yet. Lan Ling, have you looked at the 1 nanometer chip technology carried by the little clone?”

“I haven’t had a chance to look yet. But what I’m more curious about regarding the chip is how the artificial intelligence boss was created. Aren’t you curious?”

Lan Ling’s words were like a key that unlocked the secrets hidden in their hearts. Saying they weren’t curious would be a lie.

Considering the few secret projects they had already accomplished, if it were that easy to research, the domestic giants would have taken off long ago!

“You think the boss might have learned it from somewhere else? With Xiao Guo’s abilities, it’s easy for it to enter any lab without being noticed!” Xu Yu looked mysteriously.

“Ahem, I think it’s better not to discuss this. Who knows, the boss might be silently watching us from somewhere.”

Zhou Jilong cleared his throat, and the other two came to their senses, looking at the little clone on their computer screens, each with a smile.

If Zhou Chao saw this scene, he would surely burst into laughter!

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Xu Yu, please add some servers to our labs as soon as possible to ensure the computing power of the little clone. We wouldn’t want to have a sharp blade in hand but no battlefield to use it on later!”

Xu Yu became serious. “Don’t worry, I’ll immediately arrange for whatever you need.”

“Well, let’s leave it at that for now. I need to study the functions of this little clone first. Also, Lan Ling, come to my office tonight to research the chip problem together.”

The other two nodded, and the video call was ended!
