The Beautiful CEO's Close Bodyguard

Chapter 644: Chapter 0646: We Want It.

Nangong Man Sha thought for a moment but felt that Manager Fang’s words made sense, so she did not argue with him further.

She looked up at Chu Ge and asked, "Mr. Chu, what do you think?"

Chu Ge remained silent for a while. Manager Fang was right; Gambling Stone Fields were not like other industries. Such locations do not necessarily thrive just because they are situated in the busiest districts.

"Let’s take a look first," Chu Ge slowly said, as he hadn’t seen the storefront, hence he was unsure whether it would be suitable.

Moreover, no matter where such a place was opened, as long as it was managed well and operated on a large scale, it would be suitable anywhere.

Thinking so, Chu Ge, along with Manager Fang and Nangong Man Sha, got into the car. Manager Fang personally led the way to the first store. The area was not the busiest district; the surrounding houses were relatively new, and construction noises could still be heard in the distance, indicating it was a still-developing area.

As Chu Ge thought, Manager Fang pointed to a shop with a small storefront and said, "This shop, despite the small facade, is quite spacious inside with two floors and many compartments..."

Mentioning compartments, Chu Ge gently shook his head, "The rooms here are not big enough."

Manager Fang was startled and said subconsciously, "This is the largest shop available here."

Chu Ge shook his head again, "The shop doesn’t have to be the largest; let’s look elsewhere."

After visiting four or five shops, none met Chu Ge’s expectations.

In the car, Manager Fang sighed helplessly, "Mr. Chu, we have already shown you the available shops with substantial space."

He paused, hesitated, and thought of another shop, but it was in an old district surrounded by old buildings, and the pace of life was much slower than in the newer development zones.

He really didn’t know what kind of place Mr. Chu was looking for; finally, he hesitantly said, "Mr. Chu, there is one more place. That property includes one underground floor and three above-ground floors. The third floor’s layout is akin to an everyday office area, and the other floors have relatively large halls. Initially, this property was rented for a shopping mall, but people often said it was haunted at night, so gradually, the property remained vacant and has not been leased out..."

Manager Fang’s words earned him a displeased look from Nangong Man Sha, who said in an annoyed tone, "Manager Fang, what do you mean by that? If it’s a haunted house, why would you recommend it to us?"

Manager Fang, seeing Nangong Man Sha’s anger, hurriedly apologized, "Miss Man Sha, don’t be angry. Look at me blabbering, I was just too eager to find Mr. Chu a suitable property, and I misspoke. Please don’t be upset; I’ll slap my own mouth." noveldrama

Saying so, he slapped his own cheeks twice.

Nangong Man Sha’s anger subsided a bit, and just as she was about to turn and consult Chu Ge, she heard him suddenly say, "Let’s go see the place you just mentioned."

Chu Ge had a fleeting suspicion and uncertainty. Initially, when buildings were constructed, Feng Shui was highly valued. However, as times constantly changed and developed, Feng Shui wasn’t as prioritized anymore, especially in residential spaces.

Manager Fang was initially startled, then seeing Chu Ge nod slightly, he slowly started the car toward the old district.

As Chu Ge suspected, as soon as the car entered the area, he felt the presence of Spiritual Energy, indicating an underlying Spirit Vein.

Chu Ge’s eyes lit up. Before they even drove to that location, Chu Ge decisively said, "Let’s settle for this place."

Manager Fang and Nangong Man Sha were both stunned.

Nangong Man Sha asked puzzledly, "Mr. Chu, we haven’t even reached the shop yet, aren’t you planning to look more before deciding?"

Manager Fang also looked at Chu Ge in surprise. This place had been rumored to be haunted more than once, and he had almost been left with this unsellable property.

But now that Chu Ge suddenly decided to buy it, he could hardly feel happy, knowing that alongside him sat a member of the influential Nangong Family in Beijing. If he accidentally showed any neglect towards Mr. Chu, he would be in deep trouble!

"Yes, Mr. Chu, aren’t you going to take a look before deciding?" Manager Fang cautiously asked.

Chu Ge shook his head gently, "We can look at the room layouts, but I have decided to purchase this place."

Chu Ge didn’t care about the ghost rumors; this place was described by ancestors as a Feng Shui treasure site, rich in Spiritual Energy—ideal for a gambling stone business!

Soon, Manager Fang led Chu Ge to the storefront. Judging by the dilapidated appearance of the building, it indeed did not seem like a prime business venue, but these external factors were inconsequential. It could be renovated later.

The space inside was also large, with a total of four floors including an underground level. Chu Ge had already planned it out; the top floor would serve as his operational base, while the other three floors would house the gambling stone field and an auction house.

As for the first floor, he intended to use it to display the finest jade.

Chu Ge knew clearly that the gambling stone field he was preparing to set up was not to attract the ordinary people around but those skilled in Ancient Martial Arts. Having learned from Lin Dong, there were nearly thirty branches of various Ancient Martial Sects in Beijing alone.

From its most prosperous era to its decline in the later stages, the fact that over thirty Ancient Martial Sects could gather in a city concurrently was only possible in a place like Beijing.

Manager Fang looked at Chu Ge’s satisfied expression, feeling uneasy inside. What if the shop was bought by Mr. Chu and there were indeed hauntings or other bizarre occurrences? He really couldn’t bear such responsibility.

Manager Fang looked at Nangong Man Sha helplessly, and she too seemed puzzled as she looked at Chu Ge.

"Mr. Chu, do you really think this place is good?" This area was mostly old districts with a definitely younger population, hardly an ideal choice for business.

Chu Ge nodded, Nangong Man Sha had once seen the Heaven and Earth Returning Array he had set up in one of his estates, so there was nothing much to hide from her.

"This place has abundant Spiritual Energy, very suitable for setting up arrays," Chu Ge simply stated.

Manager Fang didn’t understand Chu Ge’s meaning, but Nangong Man Sha did.

Although she couldn’t perceive the Spiritual Energy Chu Ge mentioned, she understood the purpose Chu Ge had for purchasing this shop. With the Arrays he mentioned, no matter how many demons or ghosts came, they wouldn’t dare cause trouble.

Nangong Man Sha smiled and nodded lightly, turning to Manager Fang and said, "Let’s do as Mr. Chu wishes, we will take this shop."
