Chapter 559: Chapter 0561: Someone is Making Trouble

Chu Ge nodded, holding his tea but not drinking it, lost in thought.

"Mr. Chu, did you breakthrough to Innate Grandmaster on your trip to Su City?" Mr. Sima curiously inquired.

He always felt that Chu Ge was different now, exuding a regal presence both in temperament and aura.

Chu Ge nodded, "The trip to Su City was indeed not as simple as I imagined. I was careless and someone exploited that, sealing my martial arts. But fortunately, I encountered Master Guangde who helped me recover my martial skills and breakthrough to Innate Grandmaster."

Chu Ge didn’t tell them he was now at the Mid-stage Innate Grandmaster.

However, just knowing the four words ’Innate Grandmaster’ was enough to shock and thrill Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima.

They both stood up, bowed with hands clasped, and respectfully said to Chu Ge, "Congratulations, Mr. Chu."

The higher the mastery, the more respect they gave—a principle Chu Ge understood. However, he found their constant bowing a bit too much to handle.

"Enough, there’s no need for such humility. You’re older than me; let’s dispense with these formalities."

Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima exchanged looks and then laughed.

Chu Ge wasn’t one for petty formalities, they knew, but the respect emanating from their hearts was involuntary.

"What more do you know about Ge Group?"

After a while, Chu Ge asked.

"The current CEO of Ge Group is named Ge Fan, and I hear he is connected to a sect," Mr. Ouyang pondered before speaking. "Despite his casual demeanor, he is quite capable in running a company. In just twenty days, he has already shaped up Ge Group considerably."

Mr. Sima waved his hand, "That’s not quite right. Although Ge Fan is running the group now, he only recently took over. Previously, it was managed by his father and brother. Since they have properties in other places, they left Ge Fan in charge of the Shanghai branch and returned to headquarters."

Mr. Ouyang tugged at his lip, squinting his eyes suspiciously at Mr. Sima. Although he knew the old man had no ties with Ge Group, he couldn’t help but wonder how he came to know these details so well.

Mr. Sima coughed lightly, smiling, "Actually, I didn’t investigate this. My grandson has a new girlfriend who works at Ge Group. She told him about it."

Chu Ge obviously wouldn’t overlook Ge Group, but dealing with them wasn’t his immediate priority.

"Do you know where the headquarters of Ge Group is?" Chu Ge asked further.

"In Beijing."

Beijing?

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, huffing.

Isn’t the Nangong Family behind them? It’s a good opportunity to visit Beijing and handle Ge Group.

What’s a branch to him? Since they dared to mess with him, he would erase their presence from the world.

After chatting some more with them, Chu Ge drove off.

He had no specific plans today, so he was just going to stop by the company and check in.

However, upon returning to the company, he found trouble at the entrance, led by a very muscular and fierce-looking bald man.

Just the sight of such a person was intimidating.

They were shouting noisily, too unclear to make out the fuss.

Chu Ge parked, strode forward, and just entered when someone in the crowd shouted, "Bring out President Mu! Pay us back our sweat and blood money!"

The voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t place who it was.

Chu Ge, hands behind his back, watched the crowd in silence.

Jinxiu Group’s security was diligent, standing there with grave expressions, vigilantly watching over the crowd, nightsticks in hand ready to act.

"We’re not unreasonable, but firing us just like that, you owe us an explanation! Plus, I worked here a long while without receiving two months’ salary! A big group like yours, surely you aren’t so pressed for such a small sum?"

The speaker, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses, had a sharp and acerbic face, dressed in extravagant brands, each piece worth tens of thousands.

"You know very well why you were fired! President Mu has already been generous not sending you to the police. If you had any sense, you would take your people and leave before the police make it worse!"

Security captain Wang Shunjie waved his nightstick at the woman. He was fed up with their frequent disruptions!

If it wasn’t for President Mu’s instructions not to lay hands on these people, they wouldn’t have swallowed their pride.

"Ah, withholding employee wages and you think you’re in the right? Let me tell you, if you don’t compensate me, I’m not leaving today!"

The woman said, sitting on the ground like a shrew.

Chu Ge frowned slightly and walked forward, asking in a mild tone, "What’s going on?"

Upon seeing Chu Ge, Wang Shunjie initially thought he was seeing things. Rubbing his eyes, he muttered, "Manager Chu?"

The security guard who had blocked Chu Ge the day before overheard Wang Shunjie and immediately gulped nervously, apprehensive glances at Chu Ge.

He wouldn’t hold a grudge, would he?

Yesterday, how was he to know that he was actually a manager at Jinxiu Group?

The woman on the ground also looked suspiciously at Chu Ge; she had heard Wang Shunjie too. Manager? What manager?

She had been at Jinxiu Group for a while, so how had she never seen this man?

"Which department’s manager are you? I haven’t seen you before."

Chu Ge chuckled lightly, "Coincidentally, I don’t know you either."

The woman waved her hand dismissively, "Even if you’re a manager, that’s perfect. Your company owes me two months’ salary and fired me without a reason. You owe me an explanation."

Chu Ge’s piercing gaze fixed on the woman, "The explanation you want is compensation, isn’t it?"

The bald man beside her sneered, stroking his chin as he looked at Chu Ge, "You seem to understand quickly. We’re here for the compensation! Firing people without reason and withholding their wages— if this gets out, does your company think it can continue operating in Shanghai?"
