Name: My father is Zhao Dehan, and I hope he will become a dragon!

Jingzhou, the headquarters of Chongming Group.

Zhao Chongming hasn't come for a while.

He parked his car in the underground garage and took the elevator straight to the top floor.

When the elevator doors opened, several employees were walking down the corridor carrying documents. They saw him, paused for a moment, and then quickly stepped aside to make way for him: "Hello, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Chongming nodded, without stopping.

He was wearing a dark gray casual jacket over a black turtleneck and dark trousers, looking much more casual than he usually appears at the office.

But no one thought it was inappropriate. The Chongming Group no longer relies on what Zhao Chongming wears to make a good impression.

As Mu Yan approached the office door, she greeted him: "President Zhao, President Zhang is already waiting in the conference room."

Zhao Chongming pushed open the door and went in.

The office is still the same office, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a large executive desk, and a calligraphy scroll hanging on the wall.

The desk was spotless, without a mountain of documents, just a computer and a teacup. He hadn't worked here for an extended period in a long time; the desk was immaculate, and someone cleaned it daily.

He walked to the window and stood there for a moment.

The sky over Jingzhou outside the window is very blue, and in the distance, in the direction of the Nanhu Industrial Zone, you can see rows of factories and R&D buildings.

That area has grown significantly since a few years ago, with new buildings springing up one after another, their glass curtain walls gleaming in the sunlight.

"Mr. Zhao." Zhang Zhe pushed open the door and came in, holding a folder in his hand.

Zhao Chongming turned around and sat down on the sofa.

Zhang Zhe sat down opposite him, opened his folder, and began his report.

"The group's overall operations are stable. In the semiconductor sector, Hanxin International's 28nm process is operating at full capacity, with a yield rate consistently above 92%, and the number of overseas customers has increased by three since the beginning of the year. Huake has delivered twelve lithography machines this year, all for the 28nm node, and the pre-research for 22nm is progressing as planned. SMIC is using our previous generation equipment, and its production capacity is also ramping up."

He turned to the second page: "In the smart terminal sector, since the launch of Chongming 6.0, cumulative shipments have exceeded 23 million units, and the overseas market share has increased from 8% of the previous generation to 17%. The channels in Europe and Southeast Asia have been basically completed, and the cooperation with Mitsui & Co. in Japan is also deepening. The production line of Nanhu Intelligent Manufacturing is operating at full capacity, and the second phase of the factory has been capped and will be put into production in the first quarter of next year."

"In the new energy sector, Zhongjiang Photovoltaic's market share in Europe remains stable at 31%, and the 860 million yuan order from Japan has begun to be delivered in batches. Hande Times' power battery shipments this year have more than doubled compared to last year, with BYD accounting for the majority of the supply. The energy storage business is just starting out, but it is growing rapidly."

Zhang Zhe turned to the last page: "In the internet and software sector, Weibo's daily active users are stable at around 80 million. WeChat's cooperation model with Tencent has been successful, and the data is very good after the payment function was launched. Chongtian Engine has signed commercial licenses with seven game companies, and Honor of Kings' monthly revenue has exceeded one billion. Shuguang Games has initiated three new projects, all of which are under development."

He closed the folder and summarized, "Overall, there are no obvious hidden dangers at this stage. All business lines are operating normally, and the systems are running smoothly."

Zhao Chongming leaned back on the sofa and listened without speaking immediately.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and thought for a few seconds.

"Keep a close eye on the 22nm progress on the chip side. If Liang Mengsong is short-staffed, have him talk to Yu Ming directly; there's no need to go through the formalities."

Zhang Zhe nodded: "Understood."

"Hou Xiangdong is handling Zhongjiang Solar's European channels all by himself. If we assign him a deputy, he won't be able to manage it all if the Japanese market continues to grow next year."

"I'll discuss the candidate with Yu Ming later."

"And one more thing," Zhao Chongming put down his teacup, "Regarding the commercial licensing of the Chongtian Engine, don't just focus on game companies. Film and television, industrial simulation, architectural design—these fields are all open to discussion. The more people use an engine, the faster it iterates."

Zhang Zhe wrote these down: "I'll have the business team schedule it."

Zhao Chongming stood up, walked to the window, and glanced out again. The sunlight was perfect in the direction of the Nanhu Industrial Zone. With his back to Zhang Zhe, he suddenly asked, "Zhang Zhe, how do you feel about the current situation?"

Zhang Zhe paused for a moment, then smiled: "That's great. You don't need to come every day, and the company will still run smoothly. Before, when you were here, we had to wait for your approval on everything, but now each business line can make its own decisions, which has actually increased efficiency."

Zhao Chongming was taken aback: "So you mean, as the boss, I'm still holding the company back!"

Zhang Zhe laughed heartily: "That's not true, we still need your guidance, Mr. Zhao!"

"Alright, that's enough!"

Zhao Chongming shrugged and said with a smile, "I don't want to worry about these things right now!"

Now, Zhao Chongming has realized that sending him back to high-intensity work is more painful than killing him.

It's better to just flirt with girls whenever you have time.

As he left the office, he encountered several employees in the hallway who all greeted him.

He nodded in response, his steps light. When he reached the elevator, he suddenly stopped, turned to Zhang Zhe who was following behind him, and said, "Have Li Manchun come here for a moment. I'll wait for her downstairs."

Zhang Zhe responded.

Zhao Chongming took the elevator downstairs and arrived at the lobby.

The receptionist saw him and quickly stood up: "Hello, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Chongming waved his hand and walked to the door.

A black Mercedes was already parked outside, and the driver was standing by the car waiting for him.

He didn't rush to get in the car. He stood at the door for a few minutes before Li Manchun quickly walked out of the elevator.

Li Manchun was in her early thirties, dressed in a dark business suit, her hair neatly tied up, and holding a tablet in her hand.

She became Zhao Chongming's personal assistant this year and now manages all his personal affairs. She handles Su Nian's living expenses, their house in Jingzhou, and various other miscellaneous matters.

"Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Chongming glanced at her, his tone casual: "Prepare an apartment. In Jingzhou city, a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment will do, something clean. As soon as possible."

Li Manchun nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

But she knew very well who this house was for.

After Zhao Chongming's divorce, he first met Su Nian, and later Zhang Jiaxuan introduced him to several other women.

She handled Su Nian's living expenses and also the accounts of Zhang Jiaxuan's club.

Now another one has appeared, and she knows what's going on without even asking.

After his divorce, Zhao Chongming completely let loose and lived life to the fullest.

They used to be more mindful of the consequences, but now they don't shy away from anything.

Li Manchun knew what was going on, but never said a word.

She was paid to do her job, and she only arranged her boss's private affairs without asking why.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao. I'll look at the properties as soon as possible and send them to you when I've chosen one."

Zhao Chongming nodded and got into the car.

Li Manchun stood at the door watching the car leave, then turned and went back into the building.

That afternoon, Li Manchun looked at three apartments.

Finally, she settled on a two-bedroom apartment in the east of the city, not far from where Zhou Xiaoyu lived. It was fully furnished and equipped with appliances, ready to move in. She sent Zhao Chongming a message, and he replied with a single word: "Okay."

That evening, Zhou Xiaoyu received a call from Li Manchun, who said that the house was ready and she could take Zhao Xiaoya to see it the next day.

Zhou Xiaoyu hung up the phone, turned to look at Zhao Xiaoya who was rummaging through shopping bags on the sofa, and smiled.

"Xiaoya, I'll take you to see an apartment tomorrow."

Zhao Xiaoya looked up, startled, and asked, "What room?"

"Your room." Zhou Xiaoyu walked over and sat down next to her. "It was arranged by President Zhao. It's a two-bedroom apartment, fully furnished. You'll live there from now on, no need to squeeze into my place."

Zhao Xiaoya was still clutching the newly bought cardigan in her hand, looking at Zhou Xiaoyu, speechless for a long time.

"real?"

"Really." Zhou Xiaoyu smiled and patted her shoulder. "What did I tell you? He keeps his word."
