The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 651: Chapter 0653: Opening a Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic

The last sentence, Shao Gang almost spoke through gritted teeth.

He glared at Chu Ge with intense resentment, as if truly filled with grievance, "You’ve cut off my financial path, Mr. Chu, and I will settle this account with you, slowly."

Chu Ge’s face remained calm, not taking his words seriously at all. Fear Shao Gang? If he were to utter these words, those who knew him would indeed laugh their heads off.

"Then I’ll wait, wait for you to come and settle accounts with me," Chu Ge said with a hint of indifference.

In fact, Shao Gang had no real intention of settling accounts with Chu Ge. He said that only to divert Chu Ge’s attention so he wouldn’t focus his attack directly on him. But unfortunately for him, Chu Ge saw through his thoughts clearly, further confirming Shao Gang’s intent.

Although Chu Ge didn’t understand why Shao Gang didn’t act today, he had a bold guess that the person behind Shao Gang was likely to be Nangong Sanli.

Everyone was holding a meeting in the hall. If Shao Gang appeared at this time, he would surely be exposed and caught red-handed. However, if Nangong Sanli appeared, everything would seem so logical and natural.

Now that Shao Gang had appeared near the Nangong Mansion, it was obvious that he was just putting up a front.

Chu Ge didn’t plan to waste more words with Shao Gang. Since he hadn’t caught him this time, next time he wouldn’t let him off so easily.

Shao Gang watched Chu Ge with a faint smile, looking smug as if he saw through Chu Ge’s ploy and was gleeful that Chu Ge hadn’t caught him.

Chu Ge curled the corners of his lips, not bothering to say more, and left.

When he returned to the villa, Shen Congwen was packing his luggage.

Chu Ge asked, puzzled, "Are you leaving now?"

Upon seeing Chu Ge’s return, Shen Congwen stood up hastily, with a smile and a nod, "Yes, I’m preparing to leave. I have nothing else to do here, and the cultivation base needs me to organize things."

Chu Ge thought for a moment. The Earth Ganoderma was as vital as life to Shen Congwen. He nodded, saying, "That’s good."

Shen Congwen glanced at Chu Ge, hesitating to speak.noveldrama

Chu Ge noticed his difficulty and asked, "Do you have something else to tell me?"

Shen Congwen nodded, looking somewhat embarrassed and scratching his head, finding it difficult to speak.

Chu Ge looked at him with amusement and urged, "You can just speak directly, there is no need for us to beat around the bush."

Shen Congwen coughed lightly, rubbing his hands and hesitantly beginning to speak, "Mr. Chu, I know you want to open a Gambling Stone Field in Beijing, and I wanted to... I have a little suggestion; with your medical skill being so profound, why not open a hospital?"

Chu Ge was taken aback for a moment, then seeing Shen Congwen’s expression, he couldn’t help but smile, "Are you thinking of doing business with my medicine?"

Shen Congwen laughed sheepishly, "I was thinking if Mr. Chu opens a hospital, those coming to you for treatment will surely be endless."

Chu Ge shook his head slightly, "I’ve invested in a hospital in Shanghai. As for procuring medicine, you can go talk to Zhang Chenggong, Doctor Zhang, and mention that I sent you to discuss with him."

Hearing this, Shen Congwen was at first unable to grasp the meaning of Chu Ge’s words and was stunned for a moment before he understood.

"Mr. Chu, does this mean you agree?" Shen Congwen looked at Chu Ge, shocked, since he had only tried his luck with the idea, not knowing that Chu Ge had hospital investments in Shanghai.

Chu Ge nodded, "I’ve seen the Shen Family’s medicinal materials; they are all traded ethically, so I have no worries. Go and talk to Zhang Chenggong directly."

Shen Congwen’s heart leaped with joy, his face beaming with happiness. Rubbing his hands and nodding eagerly, he thanked, "Thank you, Mr. Chu."

After Shen Congwen finished packing his luggage, Chu Ge drove him to the airport. The car had been arranged by Nangong Man Sha for Chu Ge’s convenience.

Having sent Shen Congwen off, Chu Ge did not return to the villa, but went straight to the shop he had purchased.

With the help of Nangong Man Sha, within a few days, the shop had been renovated into a completely different look.

When he arrived, he saw several people standing outside, pointing at the shop and discussing something.

"Did you hear? This mansion has been bought."

"Really? Wasn’t this mansion rumored to be haunted at night?" someone in the crowd interjected.

The rest chimed in, "Yeah, I also heard this mansion is haunted. Alas, it’s so unlucky, it’s not far from where we live. My son bought me a house elsewhere because of this and is now waiting for us to move."

"Me too, my daughter just returned from abroad and bought a duplex in the busiest part of Beijing, calling this place ominous and asking me to move there."

Standing amidst the crowd, Chu Ge listened to their comments about his shop, shaking his head in resignation. This wasn’t a critique of his property; they were outright bragging about their own houses!

Chu Ge’s brows twitched and, without further regard for these bragging matrons, stepped out of the crowd and towards the shop.

Workers were still decorating the shop’s interior. Seeing Chu Ge enter, they stood up to greet him with nods and then quickly returned to their work.

The shop was divided into four floors, three above ground and one underground. Chu Ge had already planned it out: the rooftop would be used as an office and a resting place for the staff, the spacious second floor had one wall demolished to extend the area, designated as an auction space, and the first floor would serve as the exhibition area.

Whether it was stones or Earth Ganoderma, they would all be displayed here, which was part of his plan upon seeing the shop.

However, Shen Congwen’s remark earlier did remind him that since the first floor was spacious and had several compartments each with its own front door, he could separate one room to use as a facade by opening a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

With this thought, he took out his phone and called Nangong Man Sha. The call was answered promptly.

"Mr. Chu, we just parted ways, and you’re already missing me?" Nangong Man Sha’s frivolous voice came through the phone.

Chu Ge was now used to her tone and directly got to the point, "Miss Man Sha, I’m thinking of opening a pharmacy."

Nangong Man Sha paused, then asked, "Opening a pharmacy? In your shop?"

Chu Ge nodded, then realizing Nangong Man Sha might not be able to see, he hummed in affirmation, "I intend to convert one of the first-floor rooms into a traditional Chinese medicine clinic."
