Chapter 252: Chapter 0252: Scouting for Candidates (The Fourteenth Update)

Mu Bingtong has always been a smart woman, knowing what should be asked and what should not.

This time, however, she couldn’t help herself, after all, fifty percent of the shares of so many companies, if all added to Jinxiu Group, it would mean that Jinxiu Group would truly become a behemoth in Shanghai!

Even if it couldn’t match up to Zhao Wuji’s Tianrui Bank, it would still probably become one of the largest enterprises under Tianrui Bank.

"Chu Ge, just what exactly is your identity? Why even Xiahou Longhu shows such respect towards you?" Finally, after much hesitation, Mu Bingtong still asked.

Chu Ge, however, showed no displeasure. Since this woman had asked, it meant that, unbeknownst to her, she had already given him a place in her heart. Otherwise, with Mu Bingtong’s cold nature, she wouldn’t be the slightest bit interested in trying to understand, even if clan leaders of the Four Great Families of Modu treated him with the utmost respect.

It’s just that, it seems he indeed has that ability now.

"Do you still remember when I told you that I saved Mr. Ouyang’s life?" At this moment, Chu Ge had just finished a bowl of noodles at breakneck speed, and then he put down the bowl and chopsticks, looking at Mu Bingtong as he spoke.

"Yeah, I remember." Mu Bingtong nodded her head.

Chu Ge had indeed told her before that he saved Mr. Ouyang’s life with his medical skills, and his use of a silver needle to revive her father Mu Changge had also proven this point well.

"The old master of the Xiahou family is currently seriously ill. And the Xiahou family just happens to know about my miraculous medical skills. You understand the importance of the old master to these families, don’t you? So, do you see why Xiahou Longhu is so respectful towards me?"

After weighing the situation, Chu Ge decided to not involve Mu Bingtong in the world of martial artists, at least until he broke through to the Innate realm!

Hearing Chu Ge’s explanation, Mu Bingtong was nearly convinced, despite some minor doubts, but for now, this was the most rational explanation.

Moreover, she had also heard that the old master of the Xiahou family was seriously ill and that none of the renowned medical experts from all over Huaxia and even some from abroad were able to save him, only prolong his life temporarily.

The following events hardly need to be explained; after Shen Yaoyao returned, she complained about only having noodles to eat, fortunately, Chu Ge hadn’t gone to sleep yet and personally cooked a sumptuous dinner for the young lady.

As mentioned before, Chu Ge could be ruthless towards those without emotional ties, but for those who made it into his heart, he was undeniably a man worth relying on!

A night passed without words.

The next morning, Chu Ge went to work as the collected items from the families had not yet been dealt with, and since he couldn’t leave Shanghai for the time being, he planned to work peacefully in Mu Bingtong’s company for the time being.

With the despicable Sun Yinglong and Zhao Cheng gone, and with Ms. Xu taking over as Deputy Manager of the Finance Department, the atmosphere at work undoubtedly became much more relaxed, filled with lively chatter and laughter.

Despite this, everyone’s work efficiency did not decline but actually improved a lot.

When Chu Ge arrived at the company, Ms. Xu was cleaning his office.

"Ms. Xu, good morning," Chu Ge casually greeted as he hung up his coat.

Ms. Xu, startled at first, relaxed and laughed upon seeing it was Chu Ge: "Manager Chu, you’re quite early today."

Although Chu Ge appeared to be lazy, he had been following his master since he was young, and his biological clock was incredibly stable, always waking up at six o’clock sharp without any deviation.

"These things should be left to the cleaning staff," said Chu Ge as he poured two cups of tea, handing one to Ms. Xu and sitting down with the other in hand.

Ms. Xu accepted the tea cup somewhat flattered since it had been less than a day since Chu Ge joined the Finance Department and she had not fully grasped his personality; him pouring tea for her came as a pleasant surprise.

"Oh, I just came early, so I cleaned up a bit. I hope it’s okay that I entered the manager’s office on my own," Ms. Xu said with a smile.

Chu Ge shook his head: "It’s fine."

There really wasn’t anything of importance in the manager’s office. The routine documents were handled by Ms. Xu every day. As for critically important matters, Chu Ge would make quick decisions before directly sending them to Mu Bingtong.

"By the way, Manager Chu," just as Ms. Xu was about to leave, she suddenly leaned in close to Chu Ge, asking in a secretive tone, "I heard that our company is going to expand?"

"Oh?" Chu Ge looked at her in surprise: "You’re quite informed, aren’t you?"

Had the events from just last night already spread this morning?

"Sweat, nothing like that," Ms. Xu waved her hand: "It’s just that this morning, all those top executives from other companies came to our office, seeming to discuss some share transfer matters. President Mu is really making big moves this time, swallowing the shares of so many companies all at once."

As she spoke, Ms. Xu swallowed, her eyes filled with longing: "I only now realize just how strong our company’s finances are. The financial documents we usually handle show nothing of the sort, it seems President Mu has kept this hidden quite deep!"

Hearing this, Chu Ge could not help but shake his head and laugh: "Alright, stop prying, just know that the company is indeed about to take off, and when that happens, your salaries and bonuses will see a substantial increase."

This statement was true, though he wasn’t familiar with the operations of Jinxiu Group, but to know that such a huge benefit had been gained effortlessly, without paying any price, was a boon that would naturally lead to improved company benefits.

After all, although Mu Bingtong appeared tough and aloof on the outside, she was certainly not a stingy boss.

"By the way, Manager Chu," as Ms. Xu prepared to leave, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to smile at Chu Ge: "About the potential candidate you asked me to look for last time, I’ve found someone."

"Candidate?" Chu Ge pondered briefly, quickly recalling it.

With so many events occurring within a single day, compounded by the impact of the Jade Pendant, such a minor issue at the company wasn’t something Chu Ge needed to take to heart.

He thought for a few seconds before remembering that he had asked Ms. Xu to help scout for a candidate for the deputy manager since, aside from a manager, the key departments of the Finance Department required the presence of two deputy managers.
