Chapter 297: Chapter 220: I’ve Already Found You a Construction Team

He casually began to talk about specific use cases.

Lin Chu smiled and played along.

The car soon arrived at Zhou Ming’s house. There was no extravagant or ostentatious display.

The main gate was open. A tan, well-built middle-aged man was pacing by the entrance, smoking a cigarette. When he saw the Rolls-Royce approach, he instantly stamped out his cigarette and hurried over, a brilliant smile breaking out across his face.

Personally opening the car’s rear door, Li Daqing beamed. "President Lin, hello, hello! I’m Li Daqing. I’ve heard so much about you! So young and promising, a true talent. Every time I chat with President Zhou, he just sings your praises."

Lin Chu offered a polite smile.

’Contractors like him are all masters of flattery, of course. He’s much better at it than I am.’

After a few pleasantries, they went inside.

A rich, meaty aroma in the living room once again reminded Lin Chu of the unattainable "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" secret recipe. ’Hou Chengjin is so incompetent! Useless!’

In the open-plan kitchen, Zhou Ming was personally cooking. Helping him was none other than Zhou Luan, who was wearing an apron and diligently washing vegetables.

"You’re here! Xiaoluan, please entertain our guests. Lin Chu, make yourself at home. Just let me finish this dish."

Zhou Ming shouted over the loud noise of the range hood.

Lin Chu was quite surprised.

’A big boss like him actually cooks himself?’

Zhou Luan wiped her hands and walked over, lightly biting her lip. She seemed much more docile, but she barely made eye contact with Lin Chu, as if instinctively avoiding his gaze. She just politely served them, pouring tea for the two guests.

Lin Chu made the introductions.

On the coffee table were the documents for the plot of land that Lin Chu had asked Zhou Ming to prepare in advance. Before the meal even began, they started talking business.

’As for this contractor, Li Daqing, there’s no need to play games with him. I might as well just give him the job.’

’I have two construction projects on my plate right now: a nursing home on the Zeng City plot and a laboratory on the Guan City plot. If he’s capable enough to handle both, I’ll give them to him.’

’These are all minor details.’

Su Chaoyue examined the blueprints with extreme care, his smile growing brighter and brighter. He was as excited as a child and began asking Li Daqing about some of the finer points of the engineering.

Some of the laboratory’s requirements needed to be custom-built.

Li Daqing was also baffled. ’Wasn’t this for a nursing home? Why has it become a laboratory?’

But now that the "client" was asking, he naturally couldn’t show any sign of weakness.

He had been in this line of work for decades and had participated in the construction of similar projects, so he was quite experienced.

He clarified the requirements and provided his answers.

For every one of Elder Su’s questions, he had a well-developed solution.

The two of them, one asking and one answering, quickly hit their stride.

’Professor Su is completely devoted to his research. He’s truly focused.’

’Now that I’ve solved his biggest problem, it seems he’s completely on board.’

Seeing the two of them engrossed in conversation and unable to get a word in, Lin Chu stood up and headed to the kitchen to lend a hand.

"How could I let you get your hands dirty? There are only two dishes left. It’ll be quick. Go on, have a seat."

Zhou Ming refused with a smile.

When Lin Chu had stood up, Zhou Luan had followed him. Now, she tugged on the corner of his shirt, pouting her lips. Her gaze was deep and enigmatic as she said, "You should drink your tea."

It was obvious...

She was still very unpracticed at this docile and delicate act, making it seem awkward, even a little comical.

Still, compared to before, this attitude was certainly more likable.

Lin Chu suddenly couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He looked at her with a teasing gaze. "Well, now, who might you be? The Xiaoluan I knew wasn’t like this. Are you her sister?"

Flustered by his teasing, Zhou Luan blushed, stomped her foot, and shot him a glare. She then deliberately reverted to her old, feisty self. "You’re impossible! Come on! Drink your tea!"

She dragged Lin Chu back toward the sofa.

Without even turning around, Zhou Ming couldn’t help but chuckle.
