NOVPUBChapter 799: Chapter 545: At the Banquet_2 Chapter 799 -545: At the Banquet_2 Chu Mo particularly valued longevity research because he lacked confidence in his own physical condition.
As a top tycoon with a net worth of nearly 300 billion, Cao Renyi greatly enjoyed his status and if possible, he wanted to live even longer, hence he was among the earliest members of the Longevity Club.
He always provided Chu Mo with the strongest support.
The elevator doors opened, revealing two rows of top-tier female attendants with stunning beauty, bowing in unison to greet them.
Leading the front was none other than Winnie, with a perfect beauty score of one hundred, and the top superstar Situ Lichun, with a beauty score of ninety-nine.
Of course, these attendants were not merely the six from the Longevity Club.
To prepare for this gathering, Chu Mo had specially drawn twenty attendants from the four major themed parks of Tianxiang Garden.
...
These twenty individuals were all exceptional in beauty, with scores above ninety-three.
While they couldn鈥檛 quite match the magnificent beauty of Wen Ni and the likes, the sight of so many attendants together was dazzling.
Cao Renyi, who was past the age of sixty, felt nothing towards these female attendants.
At his level and status, he no longer cared about beauty, especially as Cao鈥檚 age advanced and he could no longer indulge as he once did.
He was more concerned with his assets and family.
Amidst the respectful reception of two rows of female attendants, Chu Mo and Cao Renyi took their seats on the luxurious hall鈥檚 sofa.
Shortly after, a beautiful woman dressed in a light blue cheongsam came forward, with the attendants having prepared the tea set and the tea leaves.
潡堭潣凁潣潡?co
The beautiful cheongsam-clad woman bowed slightly, then began to brew the tea for them with graceful, fluid motions.
Initially, Cao Renyi wasn鈥檛 paying much attention, but as the refreshing fragrance of the tea struck directly at his nostrils, he took a slight sniff, and the elder鈥檚 expression revealed a hint of pleasant surprise as he slowly said,
鈥淪pirit Rhyme Tea?
Chu, you鈥檝e made quite a move.
I didn鈥檛 expect you to have such a rare treasure in store.
It鈥檚 been ages since I鈥檝e had such a superior quality tea.
I have clearly come at the right time!鈥
Despite Cao Renyi鈥檚 eyes shining with excitement, he knew that such premium tea must be fully steeped and savored slowly, so he was patient, waiting for a while until the cheongsam woman served the tea with both hands.
The somewhat eager elder took the teacup, gently lifted the lid, and immediately, a unique fragrance enveloped him.
With bright eyes, Cao Renyi savored the tea finely, then he slowly spoke,
鈥淐hu, If you have good things, you mustn鈥檛 keep them to yourself!鈥
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo just chuckled and nodded, also carefully sipping the Spirit Rhyme Tea in front of him, then with a smile, Chu Mo slowly said,
鈥淐ao, as you know, Spirit Rhyme Tea is priceless and incredibly hard to find.
I got a bit by chance.
However, I recently came across a source芒鈧€?50 million per pound.
If the deal goes through, I will send some to Cao.
But don鈥檛 hold out too much hope.
Such items rely on fate; if it鈥檚 meant to be, you鈥檒l naturally be able to buy it.
But without the right fate, even two or three hundred million wouldn鈥檛 guarantee you can get it.鈥
As Chu Mo finished speaking, Cao Renyi immediately nodded, slowly saying,
鈥淚 understand, I understand.
Spirit Rhyme Tea has always been controlled by the eight major families.
Even within these families, each gets only a few ounces per year.
It鈥檚 definitely not something money can necessarily buy.
I鈥檝e heard the annual yield might just be a pound or two.
Forces shouldn鈥檛 be used.
I clearly comprehend.鈥
After these words, Cao Renyi gently placed his teacup down and suddenly spoke,
鈥淩ecently, that little girl Jiang Rourou has put me in a tough spot.
She not only lured away the chief disciple of our company鈥檚 leading scientific consultant, but she also poached several core members of our company with high offers.
Your Star Technology Company is now valued at over eighty billion, and the Heavenly Palace Project has begun.
But Chu, you can鈥檛 keep targeting me alone.
Isn鈥檛 that right?
If Starwish Technology鈥檚 leading scientific minds are drained by you, it鈥檚 going to be a big problem.鈥
Listening to Cao Renyi鈥檚 complaints, Chu Mo couldn鈥檛 help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.
Jiang Dingnan鈥檚 granddaughter, Jiang Rourou, acting as Chu Mo鈥檚 spokesperson and backed by his unlimited financial support, along with the network support from both Chu Mo and Jiang Dingnan, found herself thriving.
In just half a year, her Star Technology Company鈥檚 market value had reached eighty billion, and with its current momentum, it would likely break the one trillion mark in a few months.
Star Technology鈥檚 main objective was to conquer the sea of stars, and the Heavenly Palace Project involved developing a rocket within the next three years to launch a space station into orbit.
This would possibly be humanity鈥檚 third space station, undoubtedly a milestone.
Star Technology needed a massive amount of top-tier technology talent, even more so than the Longevity Club.
Without Chu Mo stepping in, it would be difficult for Jiang Rourou to recruit those top-tier leaders.
The only ones she could reach were the scientists in Cao Renyi鈥檚 company, so she naturally went all out to lure them away.
Chu Mo chuckled lightly, not saying any more.
At this moment, the elevator doors reopened, and a cute girl in a little skirt strolled their way.
The young girl, known as Qin Lan, approached the two men.
Suddenly, she twitched her small nose and then her big eyes became fixated on the Spirit Rhyme Tea in front of them.
At this time, Cao Renyi beside her suddenly laughed,
鈥淲hat a cute little girl, President Chu, is she a relative of yours?鈥
Hearing this, Chu Mo鈥檚 lips at least curved slightly upward, but he didn鈥檛 introduce her to the other party.
Gesturing for Qin Lan to sit aside, Chu Mo then instructed the female attendant next to him,
鈥淪erve Miss Qin some tea!鈥
As his words fell, the qipao-clad woman who had already departed returned and smoothly brewed another cup of Spirit Rhyme Tea for Qin Lan.
When Qin Lan reached out her little hands and held the teacup, she looked utterly fascinated.
But Cao Renyi鈥檚 expression turned slightly serious as he watched the little girl savoring the Spirit Rhyme Tea with a blissful face, and he couldn鈥檛 help but wonder,
鈥淭his little girl is no ordinary child; she can actually appreciate the rich flavor of the Spirit Rhyme Tea.鈥
Chu Mo just smiled without a word.
He wasn鈥檛 ready to reveal Qin Lan鈥檚 identity yet.
As the only person in the entire world who practiced the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique, Qin Lan looked no different from an ordinary little girl.
However, within her small body lurked ominously powerful Innate True Qi.
Perhaps having her by his side might lead to some extraordinary effects one day.
Right then, the elevator doors opened again, and the chairman of the club, Yang Xuan, quickly approached and said to Chu Mo,
鈥淢r.
Chu, Lord Lu and Miss Lu Siyue have arrived!鈥
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo nodded slightly.
He was about to stand up and greet them personally, but after a glance at Cao Renyi next to him, he casually ordered,
鈥淭he guests arriving later can be greeted at the entrance by you and Zhang Dongdong!鈥
As Chu Mo finished speaking, Yang Xuan immediately nodded respectfully and then turned to stride towards the private elevator.
Lifting the teacup in front of him, Chu Mo tasted it again.
At that moment, Cao Renyi suddenly laughed,
鈥淭he last time I saw Lord Lu was at a charity donation evening in Hangzhou.
That day, I made a bet with Lord Lu, and it involves you, President Chu.
I wonder if you鈥檙e interested in knowing about it!鈥
Chu Mo set down the teacup, asking with curiosity,
鈥淟ord Lu made a bet with President Cao and it involves me?
That鈥檚 interesting.
What鈥檚 the bet?
Can I join in?鈥
Cao Renyi burst into laughter and then slowly explained,
鈥淚 bet that your first wife, President Chu, would come from one of your spokespersons; Lord Lu bet against it!鈥
The old man finished speaking, and Chu Mo鈥檚 lips twitched slightly.
He now understood the two elders were merely joking with him.
However, just at that moment, the elevator doors opposite opened again.
Chu Mo saw the figure at the entrance of the hall; after taking a deep breath, he stood up lightly and then, together with Cao Renyi by his side, actively moved forward to welcome the guest.
鈥淟ord Lu, welcome, welcome!鈥
