Chen Mo was shocked. He had never expected Meng Zhuqing to say such a thing.
"Miss Zhuqing is joking. You are so rich and beautiful, there are countless young men who would want to support you. Why would it be me?" Chen Mo replied with a smile.
Meng Zhuqing's resentful voice came from the phone again, "But, I just want Mr. Chen to support me. Is Mr. Chen willing?"
Even Chen Mo found the voice, which was charming and made his bones tingle, difficult to bear.
He quickly changed the subject and said, "Miss Zhuqing, I still have to work, so I can't chat anymore."
After speaking, Chen Mo hung up the phone before Meng Zhuqing could say anything.
However, Chen Mo noticed that Zheng Chen, who was standing in front of him, seemed to be looking at him with a shocked expression.
"Miss Zhuqing? Was that Meng Zhuqing who called you just now?" Zheng Chen finally regained his senses after a long while.
"Yes," Chen Mo nodded.
Zheng Chen looked shocked again.
This was because Zheng Chen had heard their entire conversation clearly in the small room!
Chen Mo did not realize the meaning behind Zheng Chen's expression, thinking he was still shocked by his earlier display of skill.
In fact, Chen Mo did not know that Zheng Chen was shocked by Meng Zhuqing's attitude towards him.
After all, Meng Zhuqing was the general manager of the Gallon Auction House, and her family's influence was said to be immense.
It was precisely because of this that even aristocratic families dared not cause trouble at the Gallon Auction House.
Moreover, countless young men had pursued Meng Zhuqing, only to be rejected by her.
Zheng Chen never expected that Meng Zhuqing would fall for Chen Mo at first sight! And even say that she wanted Chen Mo to support her!
"Alright, you can go now," Chen Mo waved his hand at Zheng Chen.
"Ah? You, you want to let me go?" Zheng Chen came back to his senses, looking shocked again.
Chen Mo's expression darkened, "If you don't leave now, I'll call the Gallon Auction House."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Chen trembled all over.
The abuse he had suffered these past two days still sent shivers down his spine.
"Okay, okay, I, I'll go, I'll go!" Knowing that he couldn't hurt Chen Mo, Zheng Chen naturally didn't want to be captured again, so he immediately slipped out of Chen Mo's clinic.
Seeing Zheng Chen leave, Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh.
He had initially thought a patient had arrived, but it turned out to be someone seeking revenge.
Feeling bored, Chen Mo took out his phone and called Xu Chengping, sending him the medicinal ingredients he needed and asking him to keep an eye out for them.
However, when Xu Chengping saw the names of the medicinal ingredients, he was stunned.
He immediately said, "Director Chen, why are the medicinal ingredients you're requesting becoming rarer and rarer? Ingredients like these might not even be found at an auction."
"They're that hard to find?" Chen Mo was a little shocked.
"Director Chen, I do know someone who might be able to help you," Xu Chengping suddenly said.
"Who?" Chen Mo asked quickly upon hearing this.
"Director Chen, do you remember Miss Meng whom you met at the Gallon Auction House last time?"
"Meng Zhuqing?" Chen Mo blurted out, as they had just spoken on the phone.
"Yes, as far as I know, the Gallon Auction House has a great influence, and Miss Meng's channels are definitely wider than mine. Perhaps she can help you find these medicinal ingredients."
Hearing Xu Chengping's words, Chen Mo frowned slightly.
"Director Chen, you can contact Miss Meng. Didn't she say last time that you could contact her if you needed anything?"
"I understand," Chen Mo nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo appeared somewhat troubled.
He had witnessed Meng Zhuqing's seductive tactics just now, and he was truly afraid of interacting with such a woman.
After all, he was still a pure young man, how could he withstand such temptation?
However, after thinking about it, he realized he had no other options at the moment, so he dialed Meng Zhuqing's number again.
Meng Zhuqing was also surprised to receive Chen Mo's call again.
Upon hearing that Chen Mo needed her help, Meng Zhuqing smiled charmingly and said that she happened to be dining at the Sky Restaurant for lunch and he could come find her.
Chen Mo agreed.
At noon, Chen Mo informed Tian Mengyao and then drove to the Sky Restaurant.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Chen Mo called Meng Zhuqing again.
However, to Chen Mo's confusion, Meng Zhuqing did not answer the phone.
Scanning the surroundings, Chen Mo also couldn't see Meng Zhuqing's figure.
"Sir, are you looking for someone?" A waiter, seeing Chen Mo wandering around the lobby, came over and asked.
"I'm looking for Miss Meng from the Gallon Auction House," Chen Mo said.
"Is there something you need from Miss Meng?" The waiter sized up Chen Mo from head to toe.
If Chen Mo hadn't been dressed decently, seeing how young he was, the waiter would have already kicked him out of the restaurant.
"I have an appointment to meet Miss Meng here," Chen Mo replied.
"Then didn't the other party tell you which private room she was in?" the waiter questioned.
Chen Mo was somewhat speechless. He hadn't been able to get through to her on the phone, so he naturally didn't know which private room Meng Zhuqing was in.
"Sir, do you have any other business? If you are not dining, please leave now and do not disturb other customers," the waiter said to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo frowned slightly. How could he not tell that the waiter was trying to get rid of him?
However, he was determined to find Meng Zhuqing, as only she could help him with those medicinal ingredients.
Chen Mo directly took out a card from his pocket: "This card should allow you to tell me which private room Miss Meng is in, right?"
"Hehehe!"
Seeing the black card in Chen Mo's hand, with the character 'Qin' written on it, the waiter couldn't help but laugh.
Chen Mo frowned slightly, "What are you laughing at?"
The waiter said mockingly, "Sir, let me introduce you to our Sky Restaurant's membership cards."
"Our Sky Restaurant has three types of membership cards: a regular membership card, which is silver-white, then there's the VIP membership card, which is gold, and the most prestigious is the diamond membership card, which has a diamond pattern on it."
"As for your membership card, I'm very sorry, I've never seen anything like it."
"You haven't seen it? Look closely." Chen Mo's expression faltered.
Because he clearly remembered that downstairs, after the manager at the entrance saw this card, even Xue Yang was kicked out.
How could the other party not recognize this card?
"Slap!"
The waiter directly slapped the black card out of Chen Mo's hand: "Sir, this is a high-class restaurant, you can't fool us with just a membership card from a billiard club."
Chen Mo's expression darkened, "Pick up the card for me."
"Sir, I'm very busy, so please pick it up yourself. Also, if you don't have money, don't pretend to be someone you're not, or you'll make a fool of yourself," the waiter said disdainfully.
In his eyes, Chen Mo was just a poor bum trying to act like a big shot.
But thinking that the other party didn't even know what the Sky Restaurant's membership card looked like, he couldn't help but sneer.
