The Beautiful CEO’s Chapter 789 - 0791: Trouble Has Arrived

Chapter 789: Chapter 0791: Trouble Has Arrived

But then he realized that the other party was, after all, the future heir of the Gongsun Family, one of the Six Great Families of Jing City. Even if he had extraordinary abilities, offending a powerful figure could bring trouble not just to himself, but also to the gambling stone field and to Mr. Chu.

So now, Lin Dong was feeling so regret. He was worried that Gongsun Linhua would really seek revenge on them.

Chu Ge had read through all the account books, and had to admit that Liu Yue was indeed ticulous in this aspect. She had done a great job, and the accounts were clear at a glance.

Chu Ge lifted his gaze and looked at Lin Dong’s lancholic face, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he said, "Alright, these are not your worries. Go make arrangents, it’s ti for us to have dinner."

"Dinner?" A voice, seductive and tender, ca through.

Nangong Man Sha was dressed casually today, her clothing fitting her body without being too tight, displaying her svelte figure with all its curves in all the right ways.

She gracefully walked over to the front desk, her tone slightly complaining and coy, "Well, well, you’re going to have dinner without even calling ?"

The Ouyang Family and the Nangong Family had so business cooperation, so Ouyang Die and Nangong Man Sha knew each other.

Upon encountering each other now, Ouyang Die naturally took the initiative to greet her, "Miss Man Sha, long ti no see."

Nangong Man Sha then noticed Ouyang Die’s presence, her surprise evident, "Miss Ouyang? What a coincidence, what brings you back to the Capital City?"

Ouyang Die smiled, "I’m here for further studies. I happened to et Mr. Chu at the airport, so I ca over to have a look."

Nangong Man Sha nodded, her eyes shifting from Chu Ge to Ouyang Die, "You’re going to have dinner, would you mind if I join you?"

Ouyang Die felt a bit embarrassed under Nangong Man Sha’s gaze, and replied, "Of course, you can join us, Miss Man Sha. I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of dining with you yet."

"Great, we can take this opportunity while Mr. Chu is treating us to a al, and enjoy it together," Nangong Man Sha said warmly.

Chu Ge smiled sowhat helplessly but said nothing.

It was only after leaving the gambling stone field that Nangong Man Sha realized it wasn’t just the three of them going to dinner; several other employees from the gambling stone field were also going.

Nangong Man Sha looked at Chu Ge with surprise, "What’s the occasion today? An employee gathering?"

Chu Ge nodded, "It’s to welco Miss Ouyang, so we’re all sitting down together to share a al."

Nangong Man Sha nodded, "Right, did you know the summit eting has been brought forward?"

Chu Ge responded with a puzzled look, "Brought forward?"

Nangong Man Sha nodded, "I ca to tell you about this. There’s been so unrest in the Capital City recently, and because of the summit eting, after discussion, it was decided to move it up."

Chu Ge pondered for a mont, "Unrest in the Capital City? What happened?"

Chu Ge hadn’t heard anything about disputes or conflicts between different Sects, so he was puzzled as to what the so-called unrest in the Capital City might refer to.

However, it was true that so Sects liked to engage in underhanded maneuvers behind the scenes.

Nangong Man Sha glanced around and lowered her voice, "Last night, an elder of the Sunflower Sect suddenly died violently, and it was recognized as the Black Widow’s handiwork."

Nangong Man Sha asked, "As an Ancient Martial Artist, you should be familiar with who the Black Widow is, right?"

Chu Ge was certainly familiar, but he was surprised that the Black Widow would take action against the Sunflower Sect.

He had just received news from Jian Chunqiu that the Black Widow had tead up with Yang Kun, who represented the Sunflower Sect, didn’t he? But now, they were starting to slaughter each other.

"You’re talking about last night?" Chu Ge asked with confusion.

Nangong Man Sha nodded, "Yes, last night. It’s not just the elder of the Sunflower Sect who died, but also an elder of the Chen Sect, and an elder from so other Sect, which I didn’t fully catch. Because so many influential figures died in one night, a last-minute eting decided to hold the summit ahead of schedule."

After Nangong Man Sha finished speaking, Chu Ge fell silent.

Although Chen Sect was a minor Sect, he had heard about them to so extent when the Black Witch Sect was being suppressed. It seems this ti the Black Widow targeted those who were involved in the suppression of their Black Witch Sect.

With a cold smirk, Chu Ge said, "It seems the Black Widow has started her revenge."

Nangong Man Sha didn’t delve deep into matters of the Ancient Martial Arts, and she wasn’t clear about the previous conflicts and suppressions between the Sects, so she didn’t know about the grievances between them and the Black Widow.

Chu Ge didn’t continue to dive deep into this topic with Nangong Man Sha, as there were other people around.

This al was hosted to welco Ouyang Die and have everyone gather together for a simple al.

It was also Gu Tong’s first ti attending such an event. He seed quite awkward there, but thankfully, Lin Dong occasionally struck up conversation with him to alleviate his awkwardness, and Lin Zhao often ca over to tease him.

For Gu Tong, this al had a unique feeling, and an emotion he had never experienced before started to quietly spread within him.

As Chu Ge ate, he watched Gu Tong, observing how he went from being alert initially to uncomfortable, and now to relaxed. He witnessed Gu Tong’s transformation firsthand.

Ever since Gu Tong ca to the Gambling Stone Field, he’d been too reserved. Although he was thirty-one years old, his personality wasn’t like that of soone his age—solitary and taciturn, making conversation that could suffocate others.

Clearly, this was a sign of low emotional intelligence, not knowing how to socialize, and Chu Ge suddenly understood why Uncle Liu had sent Gu Tong to work at the Gambling Stone Field.

Gu Tong was not good at socializing, and the work at the Gambling Stone Field mainly involved dealing with people. Chu Ge suddenly rembered how on Gu Tong’s first day there, he clashed with others over a disagreent.

Gu Tong seed to notice that Chu Ge was constantly looking his way. When Chu Ge once again glanced over at him, Gu Tong sharply caught his gaze and glared at him, although he didn’t say anything.

Chu Ge smiled helplessly and, seeing the three of them chatting animatedly, stopped paying them much mind and continued eating his al.

While Lin Zhao and Lin Dong were deep in conversation, over here Ouyang Die and Nangong Man Sha seed to have found common interests, chatting and laughing together. Only Chu Ge and Liu Yue sat apart, eating leisurely as if they were superfluous.

After taking a few bites, Chu Ge looked up at Liu Yue and asked, "Sister Liu Yue, have you encountered any troubles with the dicine shop?"

Liu Yue was startled and looked at Chu Ge, puzzled, "Trouble? No, not at all."

Chu Ge nodded, for his main focus was now on the Gambling Stone Field, so he seldom inquired about the dicine shop.

Thinking about it, Liu Yue was managing the shop on her own, which made him sowhat concerned.
