Chu, the break is over, and the honored guests are already waiting in the reception hall.鈥
The middle-aged man, sporting a potbelly, had barely finished speaking when the doors to the reception room were pushed open once again.
Liang Bing, in her fiery red gown, reappeared before them.
Chu Mo raised his wrist and glanced at his top-tier watch, valued at two hundred and fifty million, to see the current time was three-thirty in the afternoon芒鈧€漵till a full twenty minutes before the scheduled visit to the research facility below.
However, the elite tycoons had already gathered at the entrance, eager to tour the core research areas of the Longevity Club, presumably not interested in rest.
After glancing at Zhou Yuanyuan and her father beside him, Chu Mo valued their presence but couldn鈥檛 neglect the group of top magnates waiting outside.
Asking them to leave now would be too unkind, so after a moment鈥檚 silence, he stood up with a smile and said:
鈥淢r.
...
Zhou, Miss Yuan Yuan, I have an important event coming up next.
If you don鈥檛 mind, perhaps you could join us.鈥
The corpulent middle-aged man before him immediately agreed with a delighted face.
He had just heard Liang Bing mention that many top tycoons were gathered outside, naturally realizing that getting closer to these people would greatly benefit him.
Before Zhou鈥檚 family head could express his gratitude, Zhou Yuanyuan, the stunning girl with a ninety-eight-point beauty rating and golden-ratio long legs, hesitated slightly before she slowly began to speak:
潣梆潣佛潟橉潡?co
鈥淪ince Brother Chu has important matters to attend to, wouldn鈥檛 it be intrusive for us to follow?
My father and I didn鈥檛 come for anything significant, so we won鈥檛 disturb you any further.鈥
It was clear that Zhou Yuanyuan didn鈥檛 want Chu Mo to feel uncomfortable.
Her very presence here was likely due to pressure from the man before her.
Otherwise, given Zhou Yuanyuan鈥檚 indifferent nature and proud character, it was absolutely unlike her to lower herself and seek out Chu Mo on her own.
This time, Chu Mo didn鈥檛 need to say a word.
The middle-aged man before him had already stood up first, ignoring Zhou Yuanyuan鈥檚 gaze, he followed Chu Mo immediately, his face beaming as he said:
鈥淭his young lady Yuan Yuan just doesn鈥檛 know any better.
Since Mr.
Chu has kindly invited us, how could we possibly refuse his generous offer?鈥
Chu Mo gave Zhou Yuanyuan one last look at her helpless face, said no more, and took the lead in striding toward the reception hall at the entrance.
The middle-aged man, named Zhou Qinghua, followed Chu Mo with joy.
When he noticed his daughter still hesitant, he shot her a surreptitious glare for not knowing what was good for her.
It was not until she also stepped forward to follow that Zhou Qinghua nodded in satisfaction.
However, as the father and daughter exited the reception room, upon reaching the reception hall, Zhou Qinghua became ecstatic, especially when he saw the familiar and unfamiliar faces of the crowd of over a hundred people all around him.
Though Chu Mo was busy greeting guests after stepping out of the hall and had no time to pay attention to the father-daughter pair, for Zhou Qinghua芒鈧€漺orth over forty billion and similarly ranked芒鈧€漣t was like a fish in water.
His eyes swept over the crowd of top tycoons, before he began to murmur to himself as if in revelation:
鈥淪o, this is the legendary Longevity Club.
I鈥檝e only heard of it from others; I never imagined I, Zhou, would one day step foot in here.鈥
鈥淚t鈥檚 just a club, what鈥檚 so impressive?
I find it less lively than the Chang鈥檃n Club in Capital City.
Only so few people, really don鈥檛 know why you insisted on coming here, father.鈥
Zhou Yuanyuan鈥檚 tone clearly carried a trace of petulance.
In her mind, she was the princess adored by all, never having to humble herself before any man, and now, to attend a club gathering, she had lowered herself to ask for favors, which didn鈥檛 match her usual aloof image at all.
If not for her father dragging her along, Zhou Yuanyuan would never have willingly come.
Listening to his daughter, Zhou Qinghua, although beaming moments before, first responded with a helpless, bitter smile.
At this moment, he even began to doubt whether he had spoiled his treasured daughter too much.
Zhou Yuanyuan seemed to have learned nothing about social interaction, considering herself above everyone else.
Zhou Qinghua intended to teach his beloved daughter a lesson, so he sternly began:
鈥淵uan Yuan, one can be proud, but never complacent.
Likewise, you may be fearless, but you must not be ignorant.
Who are these people here?
Take a good look and see how many you can name.
You might not know some, but don鈥檛 you recognize Zhang Dahua, the richest man in Hua Country, over there?
Or Chairman Ma Yu, and Liu Manli, the richest woman in Hua Country?鈥
Quinghua was keen to remind his daughter, worried that she might make a scene out of naivety later on, so once again he emphasized:
鈥淵uan Yuan, you鈥檙e already a junior in college, with just a year left before you step out on your own.
Your mother and I can鈥檛 always shield you from the world.
You鈥檒l have to make your own decisions about many things, and once you enter society, it won鈥檛 be like at home where everyone tolerates you.鈥
