Long Ze Cheng stopped, signaling William Joelman to continue.
William Joelman closed the conference room door and leaned close to Long Ze Cheng’s ear, whispering a few words.
A slight curve formed on Long Ze Cheng’s lips as he heard the other party’s plan.
Chen Mo, however, knew none of this.
At noon, after Chen Mo had finished absorbing the spiritual dew, he emerged from the medicinal field.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw Pan Xiong standing outside the door, seemingly waiting for him.
“Mr. Pan, is there something else?” Chen Mo asked.
Pan Xiong stepped forward excitedly, “Mr. Chen, good news! The bosses of those companies called me personally again, saying they want to cooperate with us again.”
“And just now, several more companies have contacted me proactively, saying they want to offer us preferential terms, hoping we will cooperate with them.”
“Oh?” Chen Mo appeared somewhat surprised.
Pan Xiong explained, “Mr. Chen, after we were collectively blacklisted by them, Lin’s Real Estate and several other real estate companies announced unilateral termination of their contracts with them. I think they must have couldn’t withstand the pressure, which is why they are reaching out to us again for cooperation.”
Chen Mo suddenly understood, but he was puzzled as to why Lin’s Real Estate would help him.
Could it be because of Lin Wan’er?
“Mr. Chen, what should we do now? Should we ask them to provide materials, or should we continue to stall?” Pan Xiong couldn’t help but ask.
Chen Mo glanced at Pan Xiong, “What do you think?”
Pan Xiong pondered, “Mr. Chen, I think instead of letting them lead us by the nose, wouldn’t it be better if we started two companies ourselves and provided materials to ourselves?”
“If Lin’s Real Estate hadn’t helped us this time, our losses would likely not have been small.”
Hearing this, Chen Mo nodded, “Indeed, that’s exactly what I was thinking.”
“However, why should we start our own companies? We can just acquire their existing companies.”
Pan Xiong slapped his thigh, “Right! We can directly acquire their companies, and we can use them immediately, saving more costs. Mr. Chen, your idea is brilliant!”
Chen Mo waved his hand, “Stop flattering me. I’ll leave these two companies to you. If you need money, you can get it from Yu Honglong.”
Pan Xiong quickly nodded, “Yes, thank you for your trust, Mr. Chen!”
Just then, Chen Mo’s phone suddenly rang.
He glanced at it and saw it was Meng Zhuqing calling. Chen Mo answered the phone.
“Do you have time at noon?” Meng Zhuqing’s charming voice came through.
“If you’re calling, how could I not have time?”
Meng Zhuqing chuckled, “Heh heh, when did you learn to be so glib? Tell me, have you been hooking up with other girls again recently?”
“No,” Chen Mo denied immediately.
“Hmph, I’ll believe you for now.”
Then she asked, “Where are you? I’ll pick you up. I need you to accompany me to an event at noon.”
“I’m at the construction site,” Chen Mo replied.
“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.” After saying that, Meng Zhuqing hung up the phone.
Chen Mo sent Pan Xiong away and waited for Meng Zhuqing at the entrance of the construction site.
Soon, a red Porsche stopped in front of Chen Mo.
“What kind of event are we attending?” Chen Mo asked after getting into the car.
“My family is hosting an event.”
“Family?!” Chen Mo was startled.
“Yes, why? Are you scared? Afraid to meet my family?” Meng Zhuqing’s lips curved upwards as she looked at Chen Mo playfully.
Chen Mo felt a pang of guilt, “No, I’m not scared. It’s just that this is my first time meeting your family, so I should bring something, shouldn’t I? Coming empty-handed would seem insincere.”
Joking aside, Chen Mo was most afraid of meeting his girlfriend’s parents now.
Especially after the incident with Lin Wan’er, he was even more apprehensive about such matters.
“Look in the back,” Meng Zhuqing gestured towards the rear.
Chen Mo turned and looked at the cramped back seat, and his eyes widened.
Because on the back seat, there were several boxes of gifts.
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched. It seemed the other party had prepared them long ago.
About half an hour later, Meng Zhuqing drove to the Gallon Estate of the Gallon Auction House.
Chen Mo looked confused, “Why is your family hosting an event here? Could it be that you’re hosting an auction?”
Meng Zhuqing shook her head and smiled mysteriously, “No, you’ll know when we get there. Many important figures have come here today.”
“Let’s go, my father is very eager to meet you.”
“Ah?” Chen Mo was surprised.
Before Chen Mo could react, Meng Zhuqing had already pulled him into the Gallon Estate.
Upon entering the estate’s clubhouse, Chen Mo was directly led by Meng Zhuqing to a reception room on the second floor.
At this moment, many people were seated in the reception room.
The moment Meng Zhuqing brought Chen Mo into the reception room, the entire place fell silent, and all eyes fell upon Meng Zhuqing and Chen Mo.
“Xiao Qing, you’re back. You’ve lost so much weight recently. Uncle was just saying that you only know how to work and asked me to lecture you a bit,” a handsome and dashing man stood up and quickly walked towards Meng Zhuqing.
Seeing this, Meng Zhuqing quickly moved closer to Chen Mo and linked her arm with his.
This sudden action caused the man’s movement to falter.
However, the man quickly regained his composure, forced a smile, and pointed at Chen Mo, “Xiao Qing, who is this?”
“My boyfriend,” Meng Zhuqing replied.
The man frowned slightly, “Xiao Qing, when did you get a boyfriend? How come I didn’t know?”
“Are we that close? Why should I tell you if I have a boyfriend or not?” Meng Zhuqing retorted.
The man’s expression changed slightly, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes as he looked at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo was completely bewildered.
Wasn’t this an event? Wasn’t he here to meet Meng Zhuqing’s father? What was going on here?
He had a feeling that he had been tricked by Meng Zhuqing.
“This must be Xiao Chen, right?” At this moment, a middle-aged man in the reception room stood up and asked Chen Mo.
“That’s my dad,” Meng Zhuqing whispered.
Chen Mo suddenly understood and quickly said, “Hello, Uncle. I am Chen Mo, Zhuqing’s boyfriend.”
“Yes, indeed, you are a fine young man. No wonder Zhuqing is so devoted to you,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Chen Mo gave an awkward smile.
He lowered his head and looked at Meng Zhuqing, his eyes full of inquiry.
Meng Zhuqing pretended not to see it and pulled Chen Mo towards the middle-aged man, “Dad, Chen Mo also bought you a gift.”
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, “Good, Xiao Chen, that’s very thoughtful.”
Chen Mo felt somewhat awkward. It was clear that ever since his arrival, an atmosphere of tension had permeated the reception room.
The man from earlier suddenly spoke up, “Uncle Meng, may I ask what Mr. Chen does?”
Meng Zhuqing glanced at the man, “My boyfriend is skilled in many areas. He is not only a renowned doctor but also the boss of a real estate company.”
“Doctor? Boss?”
“Heh heh!”
Upon hearing this, the man immediately chuckled disdainfully.
