Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1530 - 735:

"You don’t need to tell me, Boss. I’ve asked out of curiosity too, but they don’t have the rank to access insider information."

"I only heard Station Chief Feng refer to that person as ’Lord Claude’ when reporting work. They privately speculated he might be a big shot from the Noah Board of Directors."

"Moreover, since that day, nobody has seen that person again. It’s unknown whether he left East Capital or is hiding somewhere. Maybe only Feng Jincai and that bastard Zhuo Feng know."

Xu Hao paused, seeing Fang Cheng deep in thought, and then added:

"By the way, according to my friend, that guy is a foreigner, tall and strong, imposing presence, with striking red hair."

Red hair? Claude?

Fang Cheng repeated inwardly.

The forces behind the Noah Organization are much larger than it seems; he realized this long ago.

There are even many clues suggesting the mastermind behind it all is the Ideal Land.

A foreigner deliberately coming to Xia Country and being so reverently respected by East Capital’s station chief indicates he’s certainly not an ordinary character.

Fang Cheng pondered for a moment, suddenly looked up at Xu Hao:

"Haozi, you should stay in East Capital next."

"Huh?"

Xu Hao was initially stunned, then unable to contain his delight, he stood up directly from the sofa:

"Boss, are you serious? Then... who will be stationed at Ancient Locust Village?"

"What, you like it there and can’t bear to leave?"

Fang Cheng looked at him with a semi-serious smile.

"No, no!"

Xu Hao waved his hands repeatedly, shaking his head like a rattle:

"I’m just concerned for the organization. That place is a dump with mosquitoes bigger than flies, getting bitten leaves a bump as big as a fist; I’d rather never go there and drink northwest wind for the rest of my life."

"Boss is wise! Long live the boss!"

He said, his face glowing red, promptly changing his tone and praising repeatedly.

Fang Cheng collected his smile, seriously instructing:

"Stay in the city, don’t just drink. During this period, use the informants you have in the organization and keep an eye on Noah Organization’s movements for me."

"Especially investigate the red-haired man named Claude, and report any news to me immediately."

"Don’t worry, Boss, I’ll complete the task!"

Xu Hao puffed out his chest, patting his heart and loudly declaring:

"When it comes to gathering information, there’s no route in East Capital’s underworld that I, Haozi, can’t access. If I’m watching here, even if a female fly flies out from Noah’s side, I can tell you how many days it hasn’t bathed!"

"Okay."

Fang Cheng raised his hand to wave dismissively, too lazy to hear him continue his chatter.

"Boss, I’ll be heading back then."

Seeing this, Xu Hao wisely shut his mouth, politely took his leave, and left.

Click.

The door lock emitted a soft sound, and the office returned to silence.

Lin Chuqiao had been quietly listening for a long time.

Until Xu Hao left and closed the door, she stepped forward, picked up the teapot, and refilled Fang Cheng’s half-empty teacup.

"Brother Cheng, do you suspect that person has something to do with the ’Ideal Land’?"

She put down the teapot and softly asked.

Fang Cheng nodded slightly:

"Noah Organization is indeed an external force of the Ideal Land. That person could make Feng Jincai grovel, and other executives are unaware of his specific background, acting so mysterious... According to my speculation, he’s likely a special envoy from Ideal Land."

"Moreover, when I killed the Black Shark Organization’s assassin at Peace Farm earlier, the leader mentioned that Ideal Land recently dispatched numerous core members to East Capital, seemingly plotting something big in secret."

"If that’s the case, we indeed need to be on guard."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuqiao thought deeply.

Fang Cheng’s gaze brightened slightly, pondering for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject:

"How’s Shanks’ injury?"

"You’re talking about that red-haired guy, right? His surgery went smoothly, his life was saved."

Lin Chuqiao responded, recalling briefly, then clearly reporting,

"For this period, he followed doctor’s orders and recovered in that underground clinic. About two weeks ago, his wounds healed, and he could get out of bed and walk; he should be almost recovered now."

"However, since you haven’t given specific instructions, the Professor still has him stay there, waiting for your next arrangement."

Fang Cheng listened, nodded, picked up his tea cup and took a sip:

"Seems like I’ll have to find time to meet him."

Having discussed the business, Lin Chuqiao moved around the large redwood desk to Fang Cheng’s side.

She bent over, helping him tidily compile several scattered files on the desk.

Being so close, the gentle fragrance of her perfume drifted into Fang Cheng’s nostrils with each breath.

Fang Cheng turned his head slightly, glancing.

Perhaps slightly undersized, the professional skirt Lin Chuqiao wore today was too form-fitting, perfectly outlining her tall and curvaceous figure.

The bending movement made the skirt fabric tighten further, showcasing her breathtakingly curved hips.

Her straight legs wrapped in sheer black silk were complemented by sharp-pointed high heels.

Every gesture exuded the charm of a mature woman.

Watching her busy silhouette, Fang Cheng’s heart couldn’t help but stir with a ripple.

In business, having such a beautiful and virtuous woman to manage affairs and share pressures, and in private life providing him with gentle companionship.

For any man, it’s indeed a great fortune.

Finishing her work, Lin Chuqiao turned around, catching Fang Cheng’s admiring gaze.

She curled her lips into a faint smile, nonchalantly tucked her hair behind her ear.

Then she pointed around the room and asked:

"Brother Cheng, do you have any more requests for this office’s decor? I think the walls are too bare; perhaps we could hang some paintings for decoration."

Fang Cheng scanned the spacious room and proposed:

"Forget the paintings; the office does feel a bit empty. Find someone to place a large decorative fish tank in that corner, with some ornamental silver and gold dragonfish to add life."

"Plus, on the wall behind me, hang a large calligraphy piece with the words ’Great Exhibition of Ambition’ written boldly."

"And don’t leave the outdoor terrace bare; go to the plant market and pick some easy-to-maintain potted plants and greenery."

"Okay, I’ve noted it down. I’ll arrange for the staff to take care of it tomorrow."

Lin Chuqiao smiled and nodded, then leaned in to leave a gentle kiss on Fang Cheng’s cheek:

"Then I’ll head downstairs to work; there are some reports left to check. We’ll have dinner together tonight."

"Go ahead."

Fang Cheng smiled, sitting behind the redwood desk, watching the beauty exit the room.

Then he swiveled the executive chair, directing his gaze toward the floor-to-ceiling windows on the east side.

Outside, the blue sea met the horizon, flocks of seagulls circling the masts of cargo ships.

A few long blasts of the horn pierced the clouds, reverberating slowly above the city.

Fang Cheng’s right index finger tapped the desktop absent-mindedly, his expression varied.

He seemed to be considering the storm Ideal Land might stir next in East Capital, as well as the mysterious man who suddenly appeared.

After a while, the tapping sound abruptly stopped, Fang Cheng’s eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a sharp gleam.

"No matter what kind of demon or monster, to forge iron, you need your own strength!"

Fang Cheng murmured, then stood up, leaving his desk.

He intended to go to the fourth floor’s premium storage room.

The twenty or more Ancient Relics brought back from Yong’an Island were currently preserved intact within.

Since returning to East Capital, he had been busy preparing the company’s opening and dealing with the health center’s scheduling, unable to make time to handle these items.

Moreover, Ancient Relics not only contained violent energy, but the emerging emissions were lethal radiation for ordinary people.

In order to safely absorb them, isolation conditions are required; it cannot be done randomly outside.

Now that the headquarters’ security and hardware facilities have resumed normal operations.

Today, he happened to have free time, just right for entering seclusion to absorb the Relics’ Life Energy.

Fang Cheng strode toward the door.

He planned to use these Relics to completely replenish his Danshi’s True Qi, elevating his own strength to its peak state.

A wide-reaching influence is ultimately just assistance.

Deep down, he knows it’s essential to hold absolute power within himself.

Regardless of the upcoming storms and changes, he will have the confidence to upend the situation and crush those daring to extend their claws one by one.
