Chapter 811: Chapter 551: Knocking_2 Chapter 811 -551: Knocking_2 鈥淢r.
Chu, I鈥檓 sorry, it was my negligence in management.
I鈥檒l immediately strengthen control over the Capital City area, and I鈥檒l personally make a trip there soon.鈥
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo didn鈥檛 want to make Dong Xun鈥檈r feel too embarrassed, so he made his point and then spoke earnestly,
鈥淐apital City, after all, is not Modu; the two places are separated by thousands of kilometers.
Moreover, it is not our main base, with various forces intertwined and the situation complex.
Even if you trust Jia Tianze very much, as the saying goes, 鈥榯he mountains are high and the emperor is far away.鈥 If you neglect management, and he gains too much power, that will inevitably lead to some undesirable events.
The purpose of my call is only to remind you to pay attention to the situation there; you can鈥檛 neglect the management of existing industries just because you鈥檙e focused on expansion.
Otherwise, that would be putting the cart before the horse.鈥
Chu Mo knew that recently, after Dong Xun鈥檈r had acquired two large buildings in the Capital City, her ambition had grown even more.
...
She was now setting her sights on Jiangnan and planning to make contact with the Zhao family in Jiangnan City, with the intention of acquiring a building worth twenty-one billion.
For this reason, Dong Xun鈥檈r鈥檚 attention had been more on expansion and development, and the management of her existing assets had been neglected.
This had led to her subordinate, Jia Tianze, dealing with issues without reporting to her and instead going straight to Chu Mo to report.
On the other end of the phone, Dong Xun鈥檈r immediately nodded in agreement and promised that such incidents would never happen again.
潡堭潣佛潟橉潣?co
Chu Mo鈥檚 intention in giving her a warning was achieved, so he said no more and hung up the phone.
Jia Tianze鈥檚 issue was a minor one, but Fang Nianhan was indeed becoming unreasonably arrogant.
Fang Nianhan was different from the other spokespersons around Chu Mo.
First, Guangsha Bodyguard Company was founded by her, she had the backing of the powerful Fang family, and her foundation was solid.
Moreover, she was too distant from Chu Mo, and there was no one to manage her directly.
Coupled with Chu Mo鈥檚 famed hands-off approach, all these factors had led to Fang Nianhan becoming increasingly uncontrollable.
Capital City was Chu Mo鈥檚 second-largest arrangement in Hua Country, and naturally, he couldn鈥檛 sit by and watch his painstakingly crafted plans be ruined by Fang Nianhan.
If she was obedient, everything would be fine, and Chu Mo didn鈥檛 mind letting her taste some benefits.
But if she was disobedient, Chu Mo would show no mercy.
鈥淭he Longevity Club will next enter a period of rapid expansion.
The second branch in Britain is already under preparation, and it鈥檚 expected to be completed in a year鈥檚 time.
As the center of Hua Country, Capital City must have the third branch established there.
This will require strong protection from martial forces, so I must have a firm grasp on Guangsha Bodyguard Company.
Since the Fang family doesn鈥檛 know what鈥檚 good for them, they can鈥檛 blame me for being ruthless.鈥
Chu Mo murmured to himself softly, a decision slowly forming in his heart.
Soon, he waved to Winnie, who was standing by his side, signaling her to leave, and then Chu Mo said calmly,
鈥淗ave Miss Qin Lan come here.鈥
The words had barely left his mouth when the response of a respectful maid was heard at the door.
Qin Lan had fainted for several hours at the Longevity Club last time but had now recovered normally.
However, according to Lei Ting, she had suffered some fundamental damage and would need several months to recover to her peak condition.
Qin Lan had made a significant contribution, and naturally, Chu Mo wouldn鈥檛 let her go uncompensated.
She was now provided with two personal maids, and almost any request she made, Chu Mo would try to accommodate her.
She didn鈥檛 have to wait long; within two minutes, Qin Lan, still in her pajamas, came bouncing in.
Chu Mo noticed that since Qin Lan鈥檚 body had become young again, even her mentality seemed to have become more childish.
Often, her actions and habits were like those of a child.
Perhaps after going through nine cycles of dispersing her martial power and rebuilding it, she had grown accustomed to the identity of a child.
Chu Mo looked at Qin Lan in front of him and asked with concern,
鈥淗ow are you feeling, is there any discomfort?
I heard that a hundred-year-old ginseng has appeared on Changbai Mountain, and people have been sent to purchase it.
If we can get hold of it, you can use it for your cultivation; it might help with your injury.鈥
Qin Lan appeared completely indifferent, and with a light wave of her hand, she said dismissively,
鈥淲hat a hassle!鈥 With those words, the small-framed Qin Lan took a seat on the edge of Chu Mo鈥檚 bed and spoke in a casual tone, 鈥淪o, what did you want to see me about?鈥
Seeing this, Chu Mo did not hide anything.
He got straight to the point and said,
鈥淚 want you to take someone as your disciple.
This person is a girl just like you, who has just come of age and has a decent talent鈥?!鈥
Before Chu Mo could finish speaking, the girl opposite him immediately shook her head and said,
鈥淣o way, I hate all kinds of bothersome matters.
Right now, I just want to enjoy life properly.
Taking disciples is such a troublesome task, something I won鈥檛 consider doing鈥
However, maybe in ten years, after I鈥檝e had my fill of fun, I might think about taking on a disciple.鈥
Qin Lan鈥檚 small face was full of nonchalance; her bright eyes also held a light that seemed to penetrate the mundane trials of the world.
Chu Mo had a bit of a headache.
He had not expected such a categorical refusal.
Could it be that all the great grandmasters had such habits, each of them disinclined to take on disciples?
Chu Mo sighed somewhat painfully, but he also didn鈥檛 plan on forcing the matter.
After all, Qin Lan had just done him a big favor, and a great grandmaster should definitely have her own freedom.
Taking on a disciple is too personal a matter; even Chu Mo could not impose.
He shook his head with a sense of helplessness and then sighed,
鈥淚 had originally thought you would accept Wu Youyou.
After all, there is some fate between you two, and her father, Wu Kunpeng, is even the headmaster of Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy鈥?鈥
Before Chu Mo could finish speaking, Qin Lan, who had initially seemed disinterested, instantly sat up straight, her eyes wide as she said,
鈥淲hat did you say?
You want me to take the daughter of Headmaster Wu as a disciple?鈥
Chu Mo nodded slightly, his face showing helplessness as he said,
鈥淲u Kunpeng only has such a precious daughter.
I had some matters that I needed his help with, but his only condition was to have his beloved daughter apprenticed to Grandmaster Lei Ting.
Though we haven鈥檛 spent a long time together, you should know that Lei Ting is an all-out martial arts fanatic; he spends all his time on training and has neither the time nor the energy to teach someone else, which is why he has always refused.
I had thought you would agree since Wu Youyou used to be your schoolmate, and since she is also a girl, she would be more suitable to be taught by you!鈥
As Chu Mo finished talking, he looked at Qin Lan with hope.
Seeing her somewhat hesitant expression, he gritted his teeth and added another bargaining chip,
鈥淢iss Qin, you don鈥檛 know, Wu Youyou鈥檚 father, Wu Kunpeng, has a channel to acquire Spirit Rhyme Tea.
Although one and a half billion per catty is a bit expensive, such a channel isn鈥檛 available to everyone.
If you are willing to accept Wu Youyou as your disciple, then I promise to provide you with a continuous supply of Spirit Rhyme Tea.
Such a treasure as Spirit Rhyme Tea can鈥檛 be bought with just money.
Its value, you must understand, Miss Qin.鈥
Qin Lan swallowed hard and then set her gaze back on Chu Mo, seriously saying,
鈥淭hen you have to tell me, what exactly do you intend for Headmaster Wu to do?鈥
Chu Mo did not expect Qin Lan to be so concerned with Wu Kunpeng, and although curious, he did not ask further but directly said,
鈥淵ou know, Headmaster Wu鈥檚 Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy is currently facing difficulties.
They not only struggle to recruit students, but even their graduates can鈥檛 find good jobs.
I plan to partner with Headmaster Wu and have him go to the Capital City.
I have a Guangsha Bodyguard Company there, and I plan to have Headmaster Wu support this company.
Then, the students from Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy can also be continuously sent to the bodyguard company, resolving the employment issue for the students, and Wu Kunpeng can also help me look after the bodyguard company; it would be killing two birds with one stone!鈥
Qin Lan thought it over seriously for a moment, and then she finally nodded slowly.
