Chapter 466 Negotiation
Chu Mo and Amy finished lunch together, and it was evident that the consecutive performances had left her quite fatigued. Since there were still many arrangements to be made, Chu Mo chose to take his leave so as not to disturb her rest.
Amy was arranged to rest in the Imperial Suite on the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden, while Chu Mo decided to say goodbye. He came down from the Pastoral Themed Hall on Tianxiangyuan's Eighty-Nine Floors and then headed straight for the entrance of the hall.
Today's mission was very important. To ensure Amy's safety, the entire detective agency was mobilized. The president of the detective agency, Jiang Tao, also followed Chu Mo closely. As the prestigious Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up in front of them, Chu Mo was about to get in the car when a series of high heels clicking on the ground suddenly sounded from behind.
Chu Mo turned his head and saw a beautiful woman striding toward them.
The person was none other than Sun Liying, who had accompanied them during the meal, the person in charge of Tianxiangyuan's Eighty-Nine Floors, and also considered one of their own.
The personal bodyguard had already rushed to block the woman's path, but Chu Mo, with a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth, lightly waved his hand and spoke in a flat voice,
"Miss Sun is one of us, no need to be so guarded!"
With Chu Mo's instruction, the black-clad bodyguard stepped aside to let her approach him.
By now, the woman in high heels gently stood before him, her face beaming with a smile as she said,
"Mr. Chu, I've waited for you at Tianxiang Garden for over half a year, and today is our first formal meeting. I have long admired you."
The woman standing before him had her long hair pinned up behind her head, presenting an image of elegance. What drew the most attention, however, were her pure black eyes that seemed to reflect the entire world with bright and dazzling light.
Chu Mo looked at the woman before him with a smile. If it were not for knowing the many deeds of the woman, an ordinary person would have mistaken her for a typical gentlewoman. In reality, the woman in front of him was a formidable female powerhouse.
Glancing at his wristwatch, he remembered he had an appointment with Lu Siyue, the young miss of the Lu family.
Of course, a mere Lu Siyue was not worthy of Chu Mo's elaborate efforts. What he was really interested in was the Lu family behind her. His next move was actually to test the reaction of the Lu family.
Time was short, but the woman before him was no ordinary person. She was notoriously ruthless and vengeful, and Chu Mo did not wish to slight her over such a trivial matter and have her bear a grudge against him.
After a moment of contemplation, he then said with a smile,
"Miss Sun, I am heading to Renjian Siyue Cosmetics Company next. There's about fifteen minutes of travel time. How about we go together?"
As Chu Mo finished speaking, the woman across from him immediately nodded her agreement with a beaming smile. Although Sun Liying held a significant position, she was also well aware of her own circumstances.
She could face ordinary forces without changing her expression, but when it came to facing the immense power of one of the four major families, she had to be extremely cautious.
As for Mr. Chu, strictly speaking, her position as the manager of Tianxiangyuan's Eighty-Nine Floors was at his mercy. A single word from him could cost her the job.
Although the position of manager might seem insignificant, the relationships and complex networks it involved were not to be taken lightly. Sun Liying's success over the past few years owed at least a third of its credit to this role, and she could not afford to lose this job.
It was for this very reason that Sun Liying was so cautious.
Moreover, although the Mr. Chu before her was young, his status had already far surpassed the four major families, reaching a point where he could directly contend with the eight major families. With such power, even she had to retract all her pride and dare not show the slightest defiance in front of him.
Sun Liying joined Chu Mo in the back seat of the Rolls Royce, and the driver in front glanced at the time before proceeding to drive smoothly and steadily onto the main road.
In fact, the journey from Tianxiang Garden to Lu Siyue's company only took ten minutes, but Chu Mo had mentioned fifteen minutes. This was the time given to Sun Liying to talk; naturally, the driver would control the speed to stretch the usual ten minutes into a full fifteen minutes.
Chu Mo leaned his head gently against the back seat, having drunk some red wine with Amy just moments ago, he felt a lazy sensation throughout his body as he breathed lightly. Staring straight ahead, the indifferent Chu Mo casually spoke,
"Miss Sun, Tianxiang Garden really relies on people like you."
The beautiful woman beside him was slightly cautious. With a face full of smiles, her voice crisp, she replied,
"Mr. Chu flatters me. It's an honor for us to be able to contribute to Tianxiang Garden and to serve you."
The motorcade drove smoothly past the first intersection. Despite the slow speed, the vehicles blocked behind dared not honk rashly.
In Mudu at this time, anyone with a bit of power knew of Mr. Chu's reputation, and Chu Mo's Rolls Royce Phantom was also recognized by many. Most people with some influence who encountered it would show courtesy and slow down.
Chu Mo firmly controlled the conversation, aware that the woman beside him had something to discuss with him. He had only given her fifteen minutes and was not in a hurry to ask, waiting quietly for her to speak.
Sure enough, after some initial pleasantries, the woman with the delicate makeup spoke softly,
"Mr. Chu, Tianxiang Garden still needs to rely on you people."
