Chapter 1498 - 1511
Hearing the commotion outside the door, Lin Dong turned his head and glanced, only to see Chu Ge and Lin Zhao standing at the entrance.
Lin Dong suddenly stood up, walked over to Chu Ge, and said, "Why did you come out!"
Chu Ge raised an eyebrow slightly, "It was Elder Jian who brought me out. On the way, I happened to meet Liu Yue, so they brought me here."
His face was full of ’it’s not my fault’ expressions, Lin Dong held back for a moment, "I know, this is not a place you should be, if there’s nothing important, hurry back."
Lin Zhao listened confusedly from the side, "Lin Dong, what are you talking about? What do you mean this is not a place Mr. Chu should come? This is his bar; if he shouldn’t be here, who else should be!"
Lin Dong glared at Lin Zhao with annoyance, he muffled a snort, "What do you know, I can’t be bothered to explain to you."
Having said that, he turned around, walked back to the front desk, sat down again, and sipped his drink gloomily on the table.
Lin Zhao scratched his head; this Lin Dong, where did he get such a temper from, he stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Dong, "Lin Dong, what’s wrong with you? You used to be very respectful to Mr. Chu; why this attitude today, and what do you mean by what you just said?"
Lin Dong lazily raised his eyes to look at him silently, shook his head, "Even if I tell you, you won’t understand. I’m annoyed right now, don’t bother me."
Lin Zhao didn’t know where Lin Dong’s temper came from since he went out and came back, he’s been sullen and unhappy; as for what exactly happened, he hadn’t mentioned a word to him. Even if he wanted to ask, seeing Lin Dong’s sullen face made him hold back.
He knew Lin Dong’s personality; if Lin Dong wanted to talk to him, he would definitely take the initiative.
At first, he thought Lin Dong was unhappy because of Mr. Chu’s disappearance, but things are different now; Mr. Chu is back and standing right in front of them, yet Lin Dong is still unhappy, which makes it hard for him to understand.
Lin Zhao turned his gaze to Long Ang, his eyes seemed to be asking, Long Ang just gently shook his head. He came out from behind the counter, patted Lin Zhao on the shoulder as he passed by, and then said to him, "It’s fine here, you head back to the gambling stone field first. Whatever the matter is, we’ll talk at the villa tonight."
After speaking to Lin Zhao, Long Ang walked over to Chu Ge and said, "You should head back too. Everything here is just fine."
Chu Ge raised an eyebrow, glancing around with peripheral vision, "Are you sure everything here is normal?"
Long Ang looked at Chu Ge puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"
"It’s this time of day, and there’s not a single person here. Do you find that normal?"
Chu Ge voiced his concerns.
"It’s not the busy time yet, people start coming in around four in the afternoon."
Listening to Long Ang’s answer, Chu Ge couldn’t help but lift the corners of his lips, "As expected, a martial artist running a business, not paying any attention to detail at all."
Long Ang’s mouth twitched, what a statement!
Lin Dong didn’t like what he heard, he suddenly stood up, getting ready to charge at him, "What the hell are you talking about? Who are you calling a martial artist?"
Long Ang and Lin Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Lin Dong! What nonsense are you up to!"
Lin Zhao also looked at Lin Dong in shock; Lin Dong used to be very respectful to Mr. Chu, but now he was suddenly attacking him, which was quite surprising.
"Lin Dong, what’s wrong with you? He is Mr. Chu! The Mr. Chu you respect the most!"
Lin Dong suddenly shook off Lin Zhao’s hand, "He is not Mr. Chu! He’s just an impostor!"
After saying that, he quickly ran out.
Lin Zhao stood there dumbfounded, "Long Ang, what’s wrong with Lin Dong?"
Long Ang frowned tightly, "It’s nothing, don’t worry about it, head back to the gambling stone field."
Lin Zhao saw that Long Ang didn’t want to say anything either, so he didn’t continue to ask, he couldn’t help but mutter, "What on earth is going on."
He dropped that line, then left as well.
Long Ang still had some sense, he smiled slightly at Chu Ge, "Lin Dong is also worried about Mr. Chu, don’t take offense."
Chu Ge shook his head lightly, "I understand."
Long Ang knew that Chu Ge was a businessman in another timeline, and his ability to immediately spot issues with the hotel showed he had a good business mind. "You mentioned just now that the bar’s design is unreasonable. Would you be willing to give some pointers?"
Chu Ge, with his hands in his pockets, walked to the center of the bar hall, took a round, and thought that since he came to this timeline and had nothing else to do, he might as well make use of his skills and find himself something to do.
"Most bars only start working in the afternoon; you all are just following that routine. But have you thought about it, many people would also like to come to a bar during the day?"
Long Ang listened earnestly to Chu Ge, "But aren’t all bars like that? It’s only at night that it’s most lively."
Chu Ge shook his head, "If that’s the case, you’re wasting daytime hours."
He briefly explained his ideas to Long Ang, essentially suggesting making good use of the daytime hours.
After listening, Long Ang thought his suggestions were quite good and planned to go back and jot down his ideas.
But just as he returned to the front desk, the phone from Jian Chunqiu rang in, "Elder Jian."
"Still at the bar?" There was some commotion on the other end of the line.
"Yes, still busy at the bar."
"Come over to the Nangong Family first, something’s happened again here."
After hanging up, Long Ang apologetically said to Chu Ge, "I have some matters to attend to..."
"It’s fine, go handle your business, I’ll get going too."
Chu Ge said.
Long Ang no longer worried about Chu Ge, he got directly into his car and drove to the Nangong Mansion.
Meanwhile, at the Nangong Mansion, Liang Youmei was sitting on the sofa crying bitterly, "Old Master, you must help us, how could Tingting just suddenly go missing? She must have been abducted by someone, Man Sha and Tingting are both your granddaughters, you must treat them fairly."
Old Master Nangong was sitting on the sofa impatiently, with a face full of distress, "I already know about this, and I’ve asked Elder Jian to come and find a solution, so stop crying! It’s giving me a headache!"
Seeing Old Master Nangong’s impatience, Liang Youmei finally stopped crying, her gaze moved to Jian Chunqiu, "Elder Jian, who do you think is behind this? Could it be the same people who took Man Sha?"
Jian Chunqiu shook his head slightly, "With the limited clues we have now, it’s hard to make a conclusion."
Liang Youmei sighed anxiously, "What do we do now, my poor Tingting, especially since she’s still not clear-headed. If someone else..."
She didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant to say...
