The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 565 - 0567: Do It Together?

Chapter 565: Chapter 0567: Do It Together?

Zhang Chenggong rubbed his hands together; the 26% of shares felt to him like cutting flesh from his own body.

If the price was too high, Chu Ge would certainly be unwilling, and he didn’t have the guts for that.

If the price was too low, he would be reluctant to let go. At this moment, Zhang Chenggong was in a dilemma, uncertain about what choice to make.

Chu Ge was not in a hurry at this moment. Moreover, such negotiations required a process, so watching Zhang Chenggong struggle, he smiled and said, "Doctor Zhang does not need to rush for an answer. You can go back and think about it first."

Zhang Chenggong smiled, gratefully glancing at Chu Ge. This major issue indeed couldn’t just be resolved on the spur of the moment.

The two chatted a bit more about work and then prepared to have dinner.

At this time, a luxurious and cool Maybach pulled up at the entrance, alongside a row of black-clad bodyguards standing solemnly in two rows with hands behind their backs.

A moment later, the car door opened, and a man in a black suit stepped out.

As Ge Fan was fastening his suit, he stood in front of the car, his gaze swiftly sweeping over the crowd that had surrounded him, a hint of pride flickering across his cheeks.

"Young Master, shall we clear the area?" one of the bodyguards stepped forward and asked.

Ge Fan waved his hand dismissively, "What for? It’s livelier with more people."

Having said that, he stepped towards the restaurant.

Meanwhile upstairs, Ouyang Die was sitting by the window, watching this scene unfold, and gave a disdainful sneer.

"What’s the matter?" Chu Ge asked, puzzled.

Ouyang Die smiled and said, "Someone who likes to play the big bad wolf has arrived."

Chu Ge followed her gaze downstairs and saw a familiar figure entering from the doorway.

He couldn’t help but chuckle, "Quite the grand entrance."

Ouyang Die introduced, "He is the newly risen CEO of Ge Group, Ge Fan."

Chu Ge’s smile gradually faded as he looked at Ouyang Die, Ge Fan?

This man seemed to be the same one he had encountered in Su City; at that time, he had sent a few men to cause him trouble, but they were just ordinary people, completely incapable of putting up a fight.

At the time, he was quite far away; he vaguely remembered this man hiding in the distance and fled after watching his men get beaten down.

So, this was Ge Fan.

What puzzled him, though, was that he didn’t know Ge Fan personally and had never had any past conflicts. So why would he come to trouble him?

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes slightly; by now, Ge Fan had already ascended the stairs, disappearing from the hall.

"I heard that this Ge Fan has connections with the Huayue Sect," Ouyang Die shared, having heard some details about Ge Fan from her grandfather.

It was said that this man had been with the Huayue Sect for a while, but for some unknown reason, he then returned.

On his first day back in Shanghai, he took over Ge Group’s management.

Although his appearance might be off-putting and unreliable, when it came to managing the company, he turned out to be extraordinarily talented.

In just under a month of operations under his leadership, Ge Group had already scaled up.

Hearing the words "Huayue Sect", Chu Ge instantly understood why Ge Fan had come for him.

Chu Ge also thought of the Ge Fan he had seen at the auction, the one who had installed a bug in their room.

It seems, all of this was him.

Huayue Sect...

Humph, now that Huayue Sect has been severely hit, it won’t regain any vitality for a while.

As Chu Ge was thinking, a commotion suddenly erupted at the stairway entrance.

The private room where Chu Ge and his companions were not enclosed by walls, but divided by bamboo partitions.

When Ge Fan passed by, he first noticed Ouyang Die.

Ouyang Die had a distinctly striking appearance, one that could easily captivate attention, and Ge Fan, a notorious flirt, had already made inquiries about these famous ladies in Shanghai’s upper-class society and knew their names and faces before his arrival.

So when Ge Fan passed by, he recognized Ouyang Die at a glance.

Although Ge Group had the backing of the Nangong Family from the Six Great Families of Beijing, they were now in Shanghai, Ouyang Family’s territory. Being a local tyrant here, the Ouyang Family still held a certain level of influence; he wanted to set up a company in Shanghai and would have to give some face to the Ouyang Family.

"Yo, isn’t this Miss Ouyang?"

Ge Fan approached with a sly grin, slightly tilting his chin up. His tone seemed respectful, but his eyes were filled with arrogance.

Ge Fan cast a disdainful glance at the two people next to Ouyang Die, one with an undeniably aged look, and the other...

His gaze froze when it landed on Chu Ge. His pupils suddenly constricted, "Chu Ge?"

Ge Fan immediately became somewhat nervous.

Since he suffered a setback at the hands of Chu Ge in Su City and lost so many brothers, he knew Chu Ge had recovered his martial arts skills.

Even Hua Liuyue, who couldn’t handle him, how could he, an ordinary man, possibly be his opponent?

Chu Ge met his nervous glance with a light hook of his lip corner, "Mr. Ge, it’s been a long time."

Ge Fan awkwardly nodded, then nervously shook his head, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Chu Ge chuckled lightly, mocking tone in his voice, "Mr. Ge really has a short memory of the high and mighty, didn’t you say you’re my number one fan? What, you’re not a fan anymore?"

Ouyang Die, who was next to them sipping soup, abruptly heard Ge Fan’s words. She failed to swallow and burst out laughing.

Ouyang Die awkwardly looked up at Chu Ge and Ge Fan, coughed lightly, and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Mr. Ge, you’re still a fan of Mr. Chu? What do you like about him?"

Internally, Ge Fan was complaining; he was interested in women! Asking if he liked men? Damn it! He’s straight! He’s not gay!

At that time, he had said he liked him only because he was forced by the situation!

Chu Ge picked up some juice and took a casual sip, then set it down. Seeing that Ge Fan was still there, he looked up and asked, "Mr. Ge, would you like to join us?"

Ge Fan’s gaze kept lingering on Ouyang Die, whose beauty was different from Hua Liuyue’s. She radiated a youthful charm, full of vivacity, whereas Hua Liuyue embodied an intellectual beauty, a very womanly allure.

He heard Chu Ge’s question and absentmindedly nodded, "Sure."

Only after he spoke did he realize what he had said. He abruptly came to his senses and coughed awkwardly, before correcting himself, "I mean... perhaps not. How about this, I’ve booked the best private room here, why don’t you join me there?"

There was an indescribable sense of superiority in Ge Fan’s voice as he said this.

Even if Ouyang Die and Chu Ge were dining together, given the Ouyang Family’s influence, couldn’t they have booked a private room? Yet she chose to dine with Chu Ge in this second-floor hall, which obviously meant Chu Ge wasn’t that important in the eyes of the Ouyang Family.
