Chapter 558: Chapter 0560 Ge Group

Chu Ge checked the time and then shook his head, "No need, I’ll drive there myself soon."

Mu Bingtong had already gotten out of the car, and by the time Chu Ge glanced over, she had already entered the company.

Chu Ge had no choice but to send another text to Mu Bingtong, telling her that something came up and he wouldn’t be going to work.

After sending the message, Chu Ge put his phone in his pocket and then drove off.

When Mr. Ouyang found out that Chu Ge was coming over, he called Mr. Sima to come over.

Mr. Ouyang felt touched that Chu Ge, despite being abroad, still thought of buying him a gift. No matter how small or big the gift was, it represented Chu Ge’s thoughtfulness.

Mr. Sima arrived before Chu Ge, his hands clasped behind his back, proudly asking Mr. Ouyang, "Is Mr. Chu coming over soon?"

Mr. Ouyang also displayed pride, nodded, and grunted in agreement, "Yes, he’s coming soon and said he has something to ask us."

Mr. Sima was momentarily taken aback, the pride on his face slowly solidifying as a heavier expression took its place. After hesitating for a while, he slowly spoke, "Could it be... Could it be about the issue with Ge Group?"

Mr. Ouyang sighed thoughtfully, "It probably is."

Before, when the Ge Group vehemently suppressed Jinxiu Group, both the Ouyang family and the Sima family stepped in to help Jinxiu Group, just enough to prevent Ge Group from completely crushing Jinxiu Group.

Although Jinxiu Group was not heavily damaged, they lost many business contracts to Ge Group.

Chu Ge must have come for this matter.

Thinking this, Mr. Ouyang’s pride and the pride he had in Chu Ge’s consideration while being abroad dissipated, replaced by a face full of guilt.

"Alas, despite Mr. Chu still thinking of this old man and even bringing back local specialties from Su City, I haven’t really been able to help Jinxiu Group at all."

Beside him, Mr. Sima scoffed lightly, leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, spoke disdainfully, "Are you boasting about the gift Mr. Chu gave you?"

Mr. Ouyang was initially startled, then chuckled, although that hadn’t been his intention, but now that Mr. Sima mentioned it, he actually did feel like showing off a bit.

"Don’t tell me Mr. Chu didn’t bring you any gifts."

Mr. Ouyang snorted lightly, after all, he’s lived through many years and could see through many things, and he also knew a bit about Mr. Chu’s character. He would never favor one over another, so if he was to give gifts, he would definitely be fair.

As for his boasting, it was just a bit of fun between the two.

Mr. Sima chuckled, "Of course he did."

While the two joked with each other, Chu Ge drove to the Ouyang Mansion where Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima both got up to greet him.

Chu Ge got out of the car, dressed in a black suit since he had planned to go to work today, looking like an upper-echelon executive.

But what Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima noticed was not his attire, but the commanding aura about Chu Ge.

They noticed that Chu Ge carried an awe-inspiring aura that had not been as apparent before his trip to Su City, but could now be felt from afar.

Mr. Ouyang advanced in shock and respectfully bowed with both hands, "Mr. Chu, your trip to Su City must have been tiring."

Mr. Sima also stepped forward, "Mr. Chu."

Chu Ge nodded at them slightly, "No need for such formalities."

The group moved to a courtyard in the Ouyang Mansion, where Mr. Ouyang poured a cup of tea for Chu Ge—the tea was the gift Chu Ge had brought from Su City.

Mr. Ouyang smiled gratefully, "Mr. Chu, despite being so busy, you still remembered us old folks and chose local specialties for us, you’re truly considerate."

Mr. Sima glared at Mr. Ouyang, annoyed. Gratitude is fine, but why involve him? Now he’s said his piece, what is he supposed to say later?

But Mr. Ouyang ignored Mr. Sima’s look and continued, "It’s just that we feel guilty for not living up to Mr. Chu’s trust and the responsibility we were given to look after Jinxiu Group."

Chu Ge picked up the tea cup, took a light sip, "The help you both provided to Jinxiu Group is already significant. Without your assistance, Jinxiu Group’s losses would have been a hundred times worse, this I know."

Though Chu Ge said this, Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima still felt responsible for the issue.

"I came to see you actually for this matter, who is behind suppressing Jinxiu?"

Chu Ge asked.

"It’s Ge Group," Mr. Sima said, "This Ge Group rose up suddenly after you left, its background and power are strong, and describing its rise as overnight would not be an exaggeration."

Mr. Sima sighed lightly, "As for why they targeted Jinxiu Group first upon their rise, that we do not know."

Chu Ge nodded, then pondered a moment before asking, "I heard that Ge Group is related to the Six Great Families of Beijing?"

Mr. Ouyang made a sound of affirmation, mentioning this, his face showed a trace of anger as he angrily hummed, "This Ge Group, relying on being a distant relative of the Nangong family, acts with complete disregard for others."

Indeed, between the Ouyang family and Sima family, along with the Zhao Family and Duan Family, these four families had maintained significant influence in Shanghai for many years. Even if Jinxiu Group merged with many company shares, its scale and foundational strength still couldn’t match theirs.

Plus, with Chu Ge backing Jinxiu Group, they naturally wouldn’t harm Jinxiu Group.

But Ge Group was different. It appeared suddenly, seizing many of their resources without even a word, clearly showing no regard for them.

Worse yet, Ge Group had the Nangong family as their backer, and although the Nangong family was far in Beijing, their influence extended nationwide.

These were not forces that the Ouyang family or Sima family could afford to offend.

Chu Ge pondered for a moment, "A distant relative of the Nangong family..."

Mr. Ouyang added, "It’s not really a distant relative per se. I heard that the Ge family found a renowned doctor for the Nangong family’s young miss, Nangong Man Sha, to treat her illness, and given that Old Master Nangong was already unwell, this doctor contributed significantly in taking care of him, becoming a respected guest of the Nangong family, which in turn propelled Ge Group’s rise."
