Chapter 493 The Power of a Phone Call
On the twenty-sixth floor of Guang'an Building in the office area, not only Fang Nianhan's company was located here. The entire floor spanned two thousand three hundred square meters, and with the capabilities of Guang'an Security Company, they could only rent one-quarter of the area.
Nevertheless, considering the modest size of the company with merely twenty employees, the five hundred square meters of space was already adequate.
Having received instructions from Chairman Fang Nianhan in advance, although it was already time to clock off, all twenty employees along with the leadership were present.
Generally speaking, Fang Nianhan did not often get involved in the affairs of the company. On one hand, she was not very interested in managing the business, and on the other, the entire company's market value was just four to five hundred million—a mere pocket change for Fang Nianhan, hence not worthy of her significant effort and attention.
Therefore, the entire company's operations were managed by a female manager named Lin Xin.
"Chairman Fang, good evening!"
"Mr. Chu, good evening!"
Chu Mo and Fang Nianhan entered the office area, where two employees at the door, tasked with greeting, were full of vigor. Both were over one meter eighty-five in height, with a lean layer of muscle that did not give off an impression of being musclebound. However, their eyes were lively, and they had handsome and formidable appearances.
Following Chu Mo, Jiang Tao, Fan Gao, and several other powerful bodyguards closely trailed. When Jiang Tao, with the strength of a near-Grandmaster and a tiger-like aura, swept his gaze over the two men, the handsome pair jerked alert, revealing a hint of awe in their expressions when looking at Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao's near-Grandmaster presence naturally commanded an extraordinary air. The stronger one was, the more one could sense Jiang Tao's might. Ordinary people could only feel an overwhelming aura from him that was intimidating and hard to look at directly.
For the powerful, they could truly sense the immense oppressive force emanating from Jiang Tao. The fact that the two men could perceive Jiang Tao's strength was a testament to their capabilities.
Chu Mo's group did not tarry; as they stepped through the entrance of the office area, they were met with bright lights, and the entire company, including General Manager Lin Xin, was waiting for them.
"Chairman Fang, good evening!"
Chu Mo noticed that many eyes in the crowd were covertly watching Fang Nianhan as the line of people before them bowed in greeting.
This was quite normal; the bodyguards here were not very old, mostly between twenty and thirty, at the peak of their vigor, and naturally developed feelings of admiration towards the beautiful female chairman.
Chu Mo turned his gaze to Jiang Tao behind him. When Jiang Tao saw Chu Mo's inquiring look, he didn't say much, just shook his head slightly.
Upon getting his answer, Chu Mo couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. Jiang Tao had just informed him that there wasn't anyone particularly formidable here, shattering Chu Mo's last bit of hope.
However, considering Chu Mo's current financial and influential power, only near-Grandmasters and true Great Grandmasters could catch his interest.
In the whole of Hua Country, there were only about ten Great Grandmasters in total, and of these ten, only four still retained their combat capabilities.
As for near-Grandmasters, there might be a few more, but certainly not many, like Jiang Tao, who was now the president of a detective agency with thousands of employees and control over tens of billions in assets.
Or like Fan Gao, who was the second in command of the Fan family and managed a bodyguard company with more than two hundred people.
Other near-Grandmasters, if not already holding high positions, had already secured considerable power. These individuals wouldn't simply be subordinates to others and were not the type one could easily encounter.
The near-Grandmaster from the Fang family in Capital City was considered a pillar of the entire Fang family. With Fang family's assets of twenty billion, this near-Grandmaster's influence should not be underestimated.
Since Chu Mo had his eye on the near-Grandmaster from the Fang family and wanted to recruit him, empty promises wouldn't work. Succeeding would require some form of significant payment.
Now that it was clear Fang Nianhan's company didn't harbor any masters, Chu Mo lost interest in this small workshop of just twenty people. However, having come all this way, it was neither reasonable nor polite to turn around and leave immediately.
He planned to have a cup of tea, casually invest a few billion in the company to show his intentions, and then leave. Suddenly, a commotion arose at the door, and when he turned around, he saw the two handsome bodyguards he had passed earlier fully engaged in blocking a chubby silhouette.
The noisy disturbance reached Chu Mo's ears, and with a question in his eyes, he wondered if this was arranged by Fang Nianhan. Then he heard a plump, middle-aged man shout at the door:
"Chairman Fang, it's been extremely hard to find you. I made an appointment with Manager Lin half a month ago and never got to see you. Today, I finally caught you, and you must give me a few minutes!"
As the middle-aged man's words ended, the expression on Fang Nianhan's face by Chu Mo's side immediately darkened.
She had confidently invited Chu Mo to visit, dreaming that Chu Mo would invest tens of billions, which would expand her company and elevate her to a real tycoon. Now that her visit had barely begun and was already interrupted, Fang Nianhan naturally did not put on a happy face.
