Seeing Mu Xiaoting's hesitant look, Chu Ge couldn't help but smile slightly.
"I think you must have co up with a reason you consider smart and reasonable, but there's a saying that goes 'old ginger is spicier'. You might be underestimating your father. Is your excuse really that seamless?"
Chu Ge stretched lazily, but there was a hint of disinterest on his face. After pausing for a few seconds, he continued, "Also, even if your father wants to help, he can't just show his stance right after a minor issue arises at Tianqing Company, can he? Wouldn't that make others suspicious?"
"Others would definitely think, oh, the Provincial Secretary has always been focused on Tianqing Company. Look, as soon as Tianqing Company encounters a tiny issue, Secretary Mu gets unhappy and even interferes so much that he forces the relevant leaders in Lidu City to change their orders. This wouldn't reflect well on him either. He must observe first and find an appropriate mont to help, right?"
Mu Xiaoting didn't speak, feeling sowhat shaken inside. What Chu Ge said wasn't unfounded. It was just that she was too eager to change Tianqing Company's current situation, so she couldn't think it through carefully.
By the ti they finished the al and each took a taxi to leave, she was still pondering over what Chu Ge had told her today.
Besides the matters concerning her father, Mu Xiaoting gradually unraveled a thought, becoming clearer about it as she followed this line of thought.
Perhaps... Chu Ge was gently telling her that the two of them were fundantally on different paths. He hoped she wouldn't waste her ti there anymore. Whatever it was she wanted to do, staying there had no aning and only caused trouble for Chu Ge.
That's indeed what Chu Ge was thinking. He knew Mu Xiaoting ca to Tianqing because of him. There was one more thing he hadn't ntioned—he suspected that the suspension of Tianqing's ga might have sothing to do with Mu Chongyi.
Otherwise, after making so many calls, why couldn't he find out what was going on?
Perhaps the people he asked didn't know the details themselves, which is why they were reluctant to speak and pretended to be deaf and dumb, evading the questions.
Of course, this was just his personal speculation, and he hoped it was only that. If it were true, Mu Chongyi's conduct would indeed be quite disappointing.
Back at the hotel, Chu Ge lay on the bed, thinking about the recent ss of things. It was a long ti before he fell asleep.
The next morning, Chu Shiyao arrived with breakfast and knocked on Chu Ge's door.
Wu Qing was behind her. Once Chu Ge opened the door, Wu Qing left obediently. Since even Da Shan had cautioned him not to provoke Chu Ge, he really had no confidence in front of Chu Ge.
As soon as Chu Shiyao walked in, she puzzledly asked, "Dear, why can't we play your company's ga 'Super Ninja Soul' and a few others? Server maintenance?"
"The ga has been suspended," Chu Ge said casually as he took the century egg congee, then sat down to eat.
Chu Shiyao was stunned, "Suspended? By whom?"
Chu Ge took a sip of the congee and lazily said, "The relevant authorities."
Upon hearing this, Chu Shiyao beca anxious, "Why?"
Chu Ge sneered, "****, vulgar, bloody, violent."
Chu Shiyao's eyes widened, "What the heck? Are they kidding? What's that all about?"
To be honest, seeing Chu Shiyao so furious, Chu Ge felt quite a sense of accomplishnt.
This clearly showed that these gas had gained Chu Shiyao's strong approval. Although part of it might be due to her affection for him, the top-tier quality of the gas was undoubtedly the main factor.
As Chu Ge finished his bowl of congee, Chu Shiyao asked a bunch of questions beside him. After he threw the congee box into the paper basket, he scratched his head helplessly, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Wanna go out for a bath?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Shiyao imdiately understood and agreed.
Although all the bugs on Chu Shiyao and in her ho had been completely cleared earlier, Chu Ge still felt it was better to be cautious. What if Chu Chengrui made so move while they were off guard?
Chu Shiyao had already reached a consensus with Chu Ge on this point before, which is why when she was alone with him, she always called him "darling." After a few days, she got used to it and basically called him that all the ti.
At the Water Lailidu, the two of them deftly navigated to the luxury suite, took off their clothes, each putting on a bathrobe before going inside. Turning on the shower, they sat side by side on the tiles around the bath as they talked about matters concerning Chu Shiyao.
"These days, how do you feel, any new discoveries?"
"Hmm... I'm not always by Old Man Chu's side. I just et him a few tis a day, but to be honest, I'm a bit shaken. He treats really well. Sigh, after all, he's such an old man now. Seeing the look in his eyes, I feel that if I keep being cold and hostile to him, I really can't bear it."
Chu Ge smiled, "I hope he truly ans well. We're just speculating. By the way, how long is he planning to stay here? Not going back to Beijing?"
"He said he hopes I will go back with him. He even promised that he won't interfere with my freedom in the future, and as long as I'm happy, everything goes."
Chu Ge nodded, "I see, so what do you think?"
Chu Shiyao scratched her head with a troubled expression, "I haven't figured it out either, it's so frustrating. I'm here eating, drinking, and having fun every day, and I can still see you; it's pretty good. But he's so old, making him wait here every day for , I... sigh!"
Chu Ge shrugged, "This is really quite a dilemma."
"Dear, you said... he eavesdropped on before and arranged spies to monitor , how about we do the sa and eavesdrop on him?"
Chu Ge chuckled, looking at Chu Shiyao amused, "How do you plan to do it?"
"Well, I could give him gifts, like a watch, a pen, or a pipe. You'll be responsible for planting a bug inside, and then, hehe..."
Chu Ge flicked Chu Shiyao's forehead, "Stop dreaming. If this thod worked, I would have told you already. You better give up on this idea."
"Why? I think it's a good idea," Chu Shiyao rubbed her forehead, looked at Chu Ge pitifully and confused, "Putting a bug in, dismantling a watch, can't be too hard for you, can it?"
"You should know what kind of person Old Man Chu is, right?"
"Yes, of course, the forr chairman of Tiancheng Pharmaceutical Group, a super-rich guy ranked in Forbes. So?"
"It's surprising you even know that. So, what do you think?" Chu Ge knocked on Chu Shiyao's forehead again, shaking his head with a mix of irritation and amusent as he t her innocent gaze.
"Do you really think that his bodyguards are just for show? Do you really think his ho doesn't have high-tech facilities? Let put it this way: your bug probably would be discovered even before you get it to him. Doesn't this just show you have sothing to hide?"
"Oh... is that so?"
"Yes, exactly."
Chu Shiyao stuck out her tongue; she really had never thought about these things before.
She was just an ordinary girl, living an ordinary life. Of course, she didn't understand the world of soone as super-rich as Chu Chengrui. If there's anything special about her, it might just be her generous figure.
"Hey? Dear, how do you know these things?" Chu Shiyao wondered as she looked at Chu Ge, eyes suddenly wide open, "Could it be... you've dealt with people like that too?"
Chu Ge rolled his eyes at Chu Shiyao, "Isn't it obvious?"
"Obvious? Who? Who?" Chu Shiyao got all excited, grabbing Chu Ge's arm and shaking it with intense interest.
"He Qing, she was even your neighbor for a while, rember?"
"Oh... oh! Right, right, right! Wasn't she! She was so polite to that I forgot she was also a super-rich person! The He Family is in such bad shape now. I wonder how she's doing, sigh, and that boy He Junming..."
At this point, Chu Shiyao looked a bit down.
"When I was in Beijing before, I specifically wanted to see her at the He Family. At first, Old Man Chu said it was impossible. I didn't believe him. Later, to prove he wasn't lying, Old Man Chu had Wu Qing drive out there. But... long before we got close, ard soldiers were guarding the place, not allowing anyone to approach."
"At that mont, seeing the stance, I really suspected if we got any closer, they might actually shoot."
Chu Ge's forehead was full of black lines jumping. The He Family's place—which was the abode of the forr bigwig of Hua Country!
Honestly, even if the He Family hadn't gotten into trouble, it wouldn't have been possible for ordinary people to get close so easily. If there were suspicious people approaching, their sentries would have every right to shoot, let alone in this sensitive period. Wasn't Chu Shiyao being a bit too naive?
As Chu Ge was feeling speechless, he suddenly heard Chu Shiyao shout again, "I've got it! Dear, I've got it!"
"What have you got? Can you not be so startling?" Chu Ge turned his head to look at Chu Shiyao, who had sprung up, asking more speechlessly.
Chu Shiyao stared at Chu Ge, blinking her eyes. Her face quickly turned from excitent to embarrassnt and regret, finally sticking out her tongue bashfully, her eyes flickering as she sat back down ekly.
"Well... nothing, I just had a brain glitch and suddenly thought of a very lousy idea."
Looking at the rich expressions on Chu Shiyao's face, Chu Ge's curiosity was indeed piqued a bit. Given how excited and thrilled she was just now, the idea might actually be interesting.
"What lousy idea? Let hear it?"
Chu Shiyao shook her head vigorously, "No, no, can't say, can't say."
Chu Ge grew even more curious.
