Chapter 562: Journey to the Capital City
"Mr. Chu, when do you think I can reach S level? My dad says I will never become a Great Grandmaster in this lifetime. But now that I've become a disciple under Master, and I'm even practicing much harder than before, don't I still have a chance to become a Great Grandmaster?"
Wu Youyou was still of a childish disposition. Having become a disciple under Qin Lan just two days ago, she already fantasized about the glory of becoming a Great Grandmaster of martial arts one day.
In the past, Wu Youyou's biggest dream was indeed to become a half-step Grandmaster. After all, in Hua Country, over the past twenty years, except for the martial arts fanatic Lei Ting who had reached the level of Great Grandmaster, everyone else, without exception, had been stuck at the half-step Grandmaster level, and no one had broken through yet.
Although Wu Youyou was confident in her martial arts talent, she knew she didn't possess the high level of martial arts skill that Lei Ting had, and when it came to effort, even three of her put together wouldn't match Lei Ting's perseverance.
In such a situation, anyone with a bit of self-awareness wouldn't set becoming a Great Grandmaster as their goal.
However, since following Qin Lan and becoming the only Grandmaster disciple in the whole of Hua Country, Wu Youyou's desires began to slowly inflate. With Qin Lan's guidance, Wu Youyou could clearly feel herself improving daily. Under these circumstances, it was logical for her to elevate her goals.
Of course, more importantly, Wu Youyou's daring hope to successfully become a Great Grandmaster was also greatly influenced by Chu Mo.
In Wu Youyou's eyes, Chu Mo was an ultimate SSS-level celestial expert, with people like Qin Lan being his disciples. Wu Youyou felt that, with even a little guidance from Chu Mo, advancing to Great Grandmaster wouldn't be difficult.
Add to that the fact that Wu Youyou was now living under the same roof as Chu Mo, surrounded by half-step Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters, she had even begun to somewhat look down upon half-step Grandmasters.
Wu Youyou's ambitions had grown, and at this moment, she naturally hoped for Chu Mo's recognition. However, compared to the energetic Wu Youyou, Chu Mo, who hadn't slept well last night, seemed somewhat indifferent.
In the tallest building in Capital City, the 110th floor observation lounge of Tianxin Building, where the morning sunlight was exceptionally bright. Chu Mo had stayed late at Guangsha Bodyguard Company the previous night, returning only at 2 AM. After washing up and returning to his bedroom, he found Ye Zi Meng still waiting for him.
The two had been apart for several months, and although Chu Mo was already tired, he fulfilled Ye Zi Meng's eager wishes, thus by the time he closed his eyes, it was already 3 AM.
Although he didn't get up until 9 AM, Chu Mo still felt he couldn't open his eyes.
Ye Zi Meng was still resting, and Chu Mo had instructed not to disturb her. He himself went alone to the top floor of Tianxin Building. He had already sent someone to summon Jia Tianze, as the head of operations in Capital City. Chu Mo wasn't completely satisfied, but still, it was a meeting that had to take place.
While waiting for Jia Tianze to arrive, the ever-following Wu Youyou had already sat opposite him.
Her father, Wu Kunpeng, had already stayed at Guang'an Building, and today, he had officially become the president of Guangsha Bodyguard Company, second in command to Chairman Fang Nianhan.
Being new in the company, Wu Kunpeng didn't have his own team, but fortunately, Chu Mo had once transferred a hundred or so professional bodyguards from the magicians' investigation society to him. Under Chu Mo's orders, these individuals would temporarily take orders from Wu Kunpeng, so he wouldn't be just a figurehead without support.
As for the future, Wu Kunpeng would naturally gather talents continuously from his main base, the Kunpeng Martial Arts Academy in Dali City, not only solving the employment problem for graduates of the academy but also enhancing his influence as the dean of the academy.
Of course, the help Chu Mo could offer was limited.
He couldn't immediately suppress Fang Nianhan to the bottom; that would provoke a backlash from the Fang family of Capital City and eventually lead to a monopoly by Wu Kunpeng, which Chu Mo also didn't want to see.
Chu Mo wanted a balance between the two, with both the Fang family and Wu Kunpeng having both competition and cooperation, mutually restraining and simultaneously developing.
That was the ideal state that Chu Mo desired.
Whether both parties could understand Chu Mo's intentions and act accordingly would be left to time to prove.
Wu Kunpeng would inevitably be very busy in the coming days, and the lively Wu Youyou naturally didn't want to follow her father, so she stuck to Chu Mo.
Of course, Wu Youyou always regarded Chu Mo as a legendary master in her heart and dared not show the slightest disrespect.
Chu Mo, apart from finding the young girl somewhat bothersome, didn't feel any annoyance.
After all, he still needed her father's help.
Seeing that Chu Mo hadn't responded yet, Wu Youyou thought he was not optimistic about her future, and she slightly pursed her lips.
The eighteen-year-old young girl naturally had a fragrant aura, and Wu Youyou gently said, like a sprite:
"Mr. Chu, do you think my aptitude is too low, or am I not working hard enough? If it's about aptitude, then there's nothing I can do; if it's the latter, I will work even harder in the future!
Mr. Chu, do you mean to say I have no hope of becoming a Great Grandmaster in the future?"
At this moment, Wu Youyou's face was full of a pitiful expression, nowhere near the stubbornness of a troublemaker.
