Chapter 357 Xin'er's Life Plan
"Mr. Chu, I actually think this Yin Jiajie has some brains, and his status is not low either. If he stays, he might become an asset to Miss Xin'er in the future... At the very least, if he only becomes Miss Xin'er's lapdog, he could still spare her a lot of trouble in the future!"
The maid Little Bell served Jiang Tao fragrant tea as the butler Danny stood respectfully by his side.
Chu Mo, sitting on the living room sofa, glanced at the documents on the coffee table, his brow furrowed slightly, then picked up the documents again to read over them and said flatly:
"You mean... help this Yin Jiajie become the Family Head of the Yin family in Subei, and then have him follow Xin'er?
We don't understand this man's nature at all, and Xin'er is too naive. If she gets entangled with him in the future or if that boy doesn't return the favor well, she could get hurt!"
Chu Mo went through the documents again; Subei Yin family, with assets of seventy-three and a half billion, and the current Family Head is still the first-generation entrepreneur Yin Yao.
Yin Yao is eighty-four this year, and his physical condition no longer allows him to inquire too much into the company's affairs, so now the great power of the Yin family lies in the hands of his eldest son Yin Li.
As for Yin Jiajie's biological father, Yin Jun, because of his poor management skills, is now just hanging in the family company with a sinecure, in a state of barely scraping by.
Naturally, with his own father in such a state, as a third-generation member, Yin Jiajie is even less valued. Yin Jiajie is a marginal figure in the Yin family, and as long as he keeps a low profile, he can live carefree. But the moment he shows any competence, he will immediately be suppressed by his uncle Yin Li. Thus, this third-generation Yin looks splendid but also struggles covertly.
Sitting across the sofa, Jiang Tao's eyes were like brass bells, and the valuable antique teacup looked tiny in his large hands. Seeing Chu Mo seriously reviewing the documents, he spoke with a slight concentration:
"Mr. Chu, according to my investigation, this Yin Jiajie is no simple character. He may seem perfectly ordinary on the surface, just another unremarkable member among over a dozen third-generation heirs of the Yin family. But behind the scenes, he has secured the support of some of the Yin family's less effective forces, showing he is quite ambitious.
Moreover, the man knows when to conceal his abilities, which suggests he is an intelligent person. Since he is intelligent, he isn't likely to act foolishly. If you support him to ascend to the position of power, he will know very well what should and what should not be done, because he understands that if he makes any wrong moves, Mr. Chu, you could demolish him with a flick of your wrist!
Besides, Miss Xin'er can't always be a Snow White. If, Mr. Chu, you wish to keep Miss Xin'er by your side, it is certain you intend for her to become one of your major aids.
Sometimes, suffering a bit can actually accelerate growth. If you, Mr. Chu, wish to have Miss Xin'er always living in a greenhouse and become a delicate flower, then there is really no need to keep her by your side. Just give her enough wealth to enjoy life carefree."
Chu Mo flipped through another page of information, related to the first-generation Family Head of the Yin family, Yin Yao.
The old master of the Yin family was also a figure of his time. Born into poverty, he came alone to the big city to do business, and following the trends while being a risk-taker, he quickly made his first bucket of gold, leading the Yin family to rapidly accumulate wealth.
In the entire Subei, the Yin family possesses substantial strength, but in recent years, the family's expansion has met a bottleneck, with assets reaching seventy billion and virtually halting any growth.
Chu Mo gently massaged his chin, then suddenly looked up and said:
"The city of Subei where the Yin family resides is also within the sphere of influence of the Jiangnan Li family. These years the Yin family's assets ceased to grow; could it be that Li Xiaoyao, the Family Head of the Li family, has been playing dirty behind the scenes?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao slightly narrowed his eyes. He was silent for a while, and then lowered his head to say:
"Sorry, Mr. Chu, we haven't looked into that aspect. I will arrange for someone to investigate as soon as I get back. However, according to the customs of the eight major families, they do not allow anyone to challenge their status.
Since the Yin family is in the territory of the Jiangnan Li family, without constraints, the Yin family's assets would have probably surpassed a hundred billion long ago. The fact that it has been maintaining around seventy billion for over a decade suggests that Li Xiaoyao is likely behind it."
Chu Mo nodded, then flipped through the information again. After reviewing all the documents thoroughly and taking a deep breath, he then said calmly:
"Look into the affairs of the Yin family and the Li family after you return, but do it secretly. Do not alarm either family. It's possible that the Yin family of Subei could become our breakthrough in dealing with the eight major families!"
The tall Jiang Tao rose to his feet. He nodded respectfully and then turned, disappearing into the night.
Meanwhile, Chu Mo turned and walked towards the elevator. He took it up to the third floor, where his butler Danny helped him open the door to the multimedia room, and a stream of beautiful music drifted out.
As Chu Mo stepped into the room, he saw on the stage in front of him the foreign maid Tina singing a duet with Xin'er, their voices harmonizing in a love song.
Chu Mo glanced at Xin'er on the stage, her face alight with excitement, radiating innocence and carefree joy.
Before she turned twenty, his cousin Chu Xiner had hardly received any care from her parents or family. From a young age, she did everything herself. After starting college, she worked and studied hard, rarely sleeping more than four hours a night. It could be said that she grew up enduring hardships!
It wasn't until six months ago when Chu Mo obtained an unlimited credit card and had the means to help, that Xin'er was able to escape her life of hardship. Since that time, she transformed into a girl who dared to cry and laugh, free from care.
Watching Xin'er's bright smile on stage, Chu Mo took a gentle breath, having resolved in his heart that at least during her last two years of college, she must live free from worries and be truly happy.
As for what to do after she graduates from college...it wouldn't be too late to start mentoring her then!
Chu Mo made his way to the sofa and took his place at the very center. The head maid, He Qing, immediately came to him and began to massage his shoulders, the picture of attentiveness and duty.
The blushing celebrity Deng Yun'er also moved closer; the star regarded as the nation's girlfriend looked up shyly, her bright eyes warm with tender affection.
It seemed that with just one word from Chu Mo, or a gentle look in his eyes, this superstar idolized by countless fans would willingly throw herself into his arms!
As the two young girls on stage poured their hearts into their performance, several maids discreetly and sensibly stood in the corners of the small private room. Here, everyone had to look to Chu Mo for cues, and with a single word from him, he could easily determine the fate of anyone in the room. Even a casual glance from him could make everyone there tense with nervousness. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
This was the immense presence that controlled everything.
At that moment, Chu Mo suddenly turned his head and saw on the opposite sofa a sunny-looking young man named Yin Jiajie staring straight at him.
The third-generation heir of the Yin family had an exceptionally bright gleam in his eyes!
Chu Mo saw clearly that it was an expression of both envy and longing.
With a slight curve of his lips, Chu Mo suddenly flashed a smile at the sunny young man.
Perhaps this was a subordinate worth cultivating.
Secretly controlling the assets worth trillions of the eight major families was fraught with difficulties, but controlling a few hundred billion assets of the Yin family of Subei was a piece of cake!
Xin'er was still too naive and carefree, and having this sensible young master of the Yin family look out for her would save Chu Mo a lot of trouble.
It was time to arrange a few obedient bootlickers for Xin'er.
