Chapter 151 Chu Mo's First Blind Date_4
"I toast to Mr. Chu."
Of course, with that drink, the previous trivial matter was completely put to rest.
The two clinked their glasses, each taking a light sip before they stopped.
At that moment, the piano music in the hall gradually ceased and amid a round of enthusiastic applause, suddenly, a middle-aged man raising his glass gestured towards the woman in white on the stage who was expressing her thanks, and the gracefully thanking woman dressed in white then walked towards them.
When the woman in white approached, Fan Zhijian affectionately took the young woman's hand and said with affection:
"Pingping, this is Mr. Chu from Bafang International. Even though Mr. Chu is about your age, he is already the big boss of a company worth tens of billions."
After finishing his speech, he turned again to introduce her to Chu Mo:
"This is my daughter, Fan Pingping, who just returned from studying in America. You're both young, you should communicate more. I am going to get some fresh air over there. I won't disturb you young people with your topics."
Having said that, Fan Zhijian walked over to Chu Mo, gently patted his shoulder, and then strode towards the dance floor in front of him.
Chu Mo, somewhat stunned, watched as the Family Head of the Fan family blended into the crowd on the dance floor until his entire figure disappeared from sight, his face full of disbelief.
Meanwhile, the woman standing in front of him, dressed in white, said indifferently and coldly:
"There's no need to look anymore. I'm the sixth suitor my dad has introduced to me. Let's just start and then end this quickly so that we don't waste each other's time."
Chu Mo took his gaze back from the dance floor and looked closely at the woman in white named Fan Pingping for the first time. He had seen her playing the piano on stage as he entered, and he had found her quite stunning at the time.
Chu Mo subconsciously took a sip of red wine, then raised an eyebrow and asked:
"What's all this about?"
The woman in white was obviously used to such a scenario. With an unchanged expression and a voice like an orchid, she said:
"It's quite simple. I've lived in America since I was young, only just returning here after getting my doctorate degree this year. However, I found that I can't adapt to the environment here, so I'm planning to develop my career in America.
My father disagrees, so he has been desperately introducing me to potential suitors, hoping to make me stay. You're the sixth one I've met during this time. If you don't want to waste your time, we can just pretend for a while, then I'll tell my dad we're not a good match, and it'll be over."
Chu Mo scratched his head. He had come here to discuss a potential partnership with Fan Zhijian concerning their respective security companies. He had prepared for various troubles he might encounter beforehand, but he had never expected to face a situation like this.
Chu Mo didn't want to waste his time and just as he lightly nodded and was about to leave, the young woman remarked:
"You must be here to do business with my dad. He's probably watching us from some corner right now. If you walk away now, my dad will think you look down on his precious daughter, which definitely won't be good for your negotiation later."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo, who had planned to leave, had to halt his steps.
Chu Mo indeed had his eyes on the Fan family's security company. As the biggest in the entire city, An Tianxia Security Company took on almost one-third of the security business in the city, employing nearly a thousand professional bodyguards. If he could cooperate with the Fan family, Jiang Tao's detective agency could quickly expand.
Chu Mo hesitated for a moment, feeling that the effort was proportionate to the potential benefit, not to mention that the Miss Fan across from him was not an ugly freak. On the contrary, the woman in white in front of him was quite delicate and charming. Having a chat with her to win Fan Zhijian's favor seemed a fair exchange.
Turning back around, Chu Mo gestured towards an empty seat nearby and said casually:
"Let's talk over there."
The Miss Fan from the Fan family, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes, suddenly curled her lips up, her tone light:
"It seemed you were about to leave just now, which probably means you aren't interested in me. Honestly, I'm not interested in you either... so, let's not waste each other's time anymore. Goodbye." Stay updated with empire
With these words, the woman in white turned and left briskly.
