Chapter 582: Chapter 0584: Not Presentable

Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian returned to the office building where Huo Tianqian was located. Since the major scouring last time, Huo Tianqian had relocated his headquarters to a decently situated five-story building in the downtown area.

The location was not only convenient for transportation, but importantly for Huo Tianqian, he had connections with all the shops on the whole street.

In Shanghai, Huo Tianqian’s business wasn’t as vast as that of the Four Great Families, nor as legitimate as Jinxiu Group, but compared to size, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Huo Tianqian could rank among smaller families.

Chu Ge looked at the increasingly grand scale of Huo Tianqian’s business and nodded in approval.

You had to admit that Huo Tianqian had a commendable way of managing and a good vision in this aspect.

As soon as Chu Ge entered his office building, he saw busy figures shuttling back and forth nonstop, as hectic as the finance department of Jinxiu Group.

"What’s happening recently? Why is everyone so busy?" The employees at Jinxiu Group typically only took a break during lunchtime; their work environment wasn’t usually this stressful, but these past few days it’s as if each person was wound up, giving Chu Ge a sense of pressure as he entered the office.

Huo Tianqian explained, "There’s an end-of-year audit recently, so the finance department is extremely busy. Jinxiu Group should also be dealing with this right?"

Chu Ge shrugged his shoulders; he knew nothing about these things.

The two arrived at Huo Tianqian’s office. Huo Tianqian, pointing at the black leather sofa, said, "Mr. Chu, please take a seat. I’ll pour you a cup of tea."

The office of Huo Tianqian wasn’t extravagantly decorated, but both the layout and the furniture arrangement were very grand.

"Huo Tianqian, I am planning to go to Beijing tomorrow," Chu Ge said, sitting on the sofa and looking at Huo Tianqian’s back.

Huo Tianqian paused as he was pouring tea, turned to look at Chu Ge, and asked perplexedly, "Is there such a hurry?"

Chu Ge nodded, "This trip to Beijing is not only to help Old Master Nangong with his treatment but also to handle some other matters."

The issue of Ge Group taking advantage of the Nangong Family’s backing to deliberately make things difficult for Jinxiu Group had to be resolved.

Huo Tianqian was lost in thought for a moment. Previously in Su City, Chu Ge had told him there was no need for him to accompany him to Beijing.

"Do you need me to do anything here in Shanghai?"

After making the tea, Huo Tianqian carried the cup over to the opposite side of Chu Ge, placing one before him and then sat down.

Chu Ge picked up the tea and took a delicate sip, "Is this tea brought back from Su City?"

Huo Tianqian laughed and nodded, "Yes. Although the time spent in Su City wasn’t long, it felt like quite a while. Suddenly coming back to Shanghai, I’m still not quite accustomed to the fast pace."

Chu Ge laughed as well, not feeling any different himself. He just felt his time was much more leisure now compared to when he was in Su City.

"Mr. Chu, how long do you plan to stay in Beijing this time?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "I’m not certain yet. It will depend on Old Master Nangong’s condition."

"Mr. Chu, if there’s anything in Shanghai you’re not confident about, just leave it to me," Huo Tianqian said, patting his chest confidently, "As long as it’s within my power, I will spare no effort to get it done."

Chu Ge smiled. Of course, he believed in Huo Tianqian’s sincerity and that he would do as he said.

But what he wanted Huo Tianqian to do was not something as simple as a small task.

Seeing the serious look on Chu Ge’s face, Huo Tianqian knew it wouldn’t be simple.

He sat up straight and his expression grew solemn, "Mr. Chu, please just give your orders directly."

Chu Ge looked at him deeply and then slowly said, "To be honest, I am actually considering making Shanghai my backup."

The so-called backup could also refer to a headquarters.

He shared this news with Huo Tianqian because he had a great deal of trust in him.

Based on his understanding of Huo Tianqian, Huo Tianqian would definitely not have second thoughts against him.

Therefore, entrusting Shanghai to Huo Tianqian, he was very reassured.

Huo Tianqian scratched his head, "Mr. Chu, are you planning to start your own Sect or your own company?"

Chu Ge was taken aback by his question and after pondering for a while, he realized it was somewhat inappropriate to say so.

He didn’t have his own company or office space in Shanghai; all he had was a bit of networking.

Headquarters... He really didn’t dare to make such a claim.

Huo Tianqian, looking at Chu Ge, might be uncertain of what he was thinking, but had a bold idea in his mind.

Clearing his throat, he looked deeply at Chu Ge and said, "Mr. Chu, I actually have an idea. If you don’t mind, you can consider this place as your headquarters."

Chu Ge was a bit stunned, surprised by Huo Tianqian’s idea.

He knew Huo Tianqian was completely loyal to him by now, but he didn’t expect Huo Tianqian to go as far as offering to give him his headquarters.

A headquarters for a company is its core, its backbone. This offer was more than mere trust and sincerity.

Huo Tianqian smiled, "Although it’s a bit rundown here, the good thing is that it has everything inside. If Mr. Chu needs anything more in the future, I can add to it."

Chu Ge waved his hand, "You misunderstand, Huo Tianqian."

Huo Tianqian looked at him puzzled. What did he misunderstand?

The headquarters Chu Ge referred to was not about a physical office location. What he meant was a base, making Shanghai his anchor point, so that wherever he went in the future, there would be something pulling him back and not just like a free bird, flying wherever.

Although he was now very free, able to go wherever he wished, he had another set of expectations for himself.

"What I meant by headquarters is not about setting up a specific headquarters, but making the entire Shanghai my backing."

Chu Ge shared his thoughts, "When you’re out there, you need more than just money, you need relationships."

"But I don’t know when I will return this time I go to Beijing, so the relationships in Shanghai need to be maintained."

Before Chu Ge could finish speaking, Huo Tianqian understood his meaning, nodding his head and agreeing with Chu Ge’s statement.

"Mr. Chu, rest assured, after you go to Beijing, I will keep in touch periodically with Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima."

Huo Tianqian also thought about Jinxiu Group and asked with some concern, "As for Jinxiu Group... I can guarantee their safety, but when it comes to business matters, if even Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Sima cannot resolve it, I..."

After all, he was just an underground boss. If it really came to the upper-class society, he wouldn’t hold a candle to the Ouyang or the Sima family.
