Chapter 174: The Ross Family with Fifty Trillion in Assets
"How's everything going at the company recently? Can you adapt to the life of a trainee?"
Chu Mo, who held the phone, gently stood up. He made a casual gesture to Li Tingting, who was eating beside him, and then walked toward the entrance of the dining room.
"Pretty good, here Director He and Chairman Qin have been looking out for Shuangshuang and me. To be honest, we sometimes feel quite embarrassed. We're clearly not the best, yet we always get the best resources from the company."
The voice of Chu Wen on the other end of the phone carried a touch of emotion. Chu Mo, who had walked into the living room, looked at the brilliant sunlight at the doorway and the rippling swimming pool, and spoke with a smile on his face:
"That's what you deserve. Didn't I promise you before? As long as you and Zhao Shuangshuang join Shi Yuan Entertainment, you will definitely get the best resources.
Being a trainee must be tough, you two don't need to overwork yourselves, you two are the chosen ones—no matter how good or bad your performance is, you can make it to the final step. The company will always favor you with the best resources. Even if you don't become big stars, reaching the second or third tier is still very easy."
Chu Mo strolled out of the living room. He looked up at the sun above, then lightly walked over to a lounge chair by the pool and sat down, his eyes filled with a warm hue.
Toward Chu Wen on the other end of the phone, Chu Mo always felt a sense of guilt. Although he had arranged a new job for her now, he always wanted to compensate her more.
The girl on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, then spoke in a slightly melancholic and soft voice:
"It is precisely because of this that I feel even more embarrassed. To be honest, every trainee here is very impressive. Although I've been working very hard, I'm usually at the bottom.
By normal standards, I should have been eliminated a long time ago, but every time the results are announced, Shuangshuang and I always get the best resources and treatment. I know a lot of people have complaints against us..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Mo, with a stern expression, cut her off:
"What, has someone been targeting you two deliberately? Or has someone been giving you attitude? What's Zi Xuan doing, she can't even handle this little matter?"
As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, Chu Wen on the other end of the phone hurriedly explained:
"No, no, Chairman Qin treats the two of us very well, and no one is targeting Shuangshuang and me... I just feel that I'm not cut out to be a star.
I'm not even as good as Shuangshuang; at least she's more outgoing. She had experience as a broadcaster before and could present herself very well, plus she has a dream of becoming a star.
However, I'm more introverted. Despite trying my hardest, I have never been able to show my best side. I think I might not be suitable for this job."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo grew quiet, beginning to question whether it was right to forcefully place Chu Wen in Shi Yuan Entertainment.
Initially, he was driven by guilt, eager to make amends, and thus somewhat recklessly teamed up with Zhao Shuangshuang to pull Chu Wen into Shi Yuan Entertainment.
At that time, he hadn't considered whether Chu Wen actually liked the job or not, only blindly trying to atone for his mistakes to put his mind at ease.
Now in retrospect, he realized he had never really discussed with Chu Wen what she would like to do.
As Chu Mo was seriously reflecting, the girl on the other end of the phone spoke up cautiously again:
"Um, Chu Mo, although this matter has nothing to do with me, and I shouldn't meddle, Ding Qian did take good care of Shuangshuang and me at the company. Ding Qian also knows she did wrong, could you... could you give her another chance? If you don't relent, her life will be ruined..."
"First, tell me, do you really dislike being a trainee?" Chu Mo interrupted the other person's words, his tone serious:
"If you don't like this job, forcing yourself to do it will only make you unhappier. I can help you find a new job. Given your reserved personality, I can arrange a department manager position for you at the hotel, or if there's any particular company you want to join, you can tell me, and I'll help you arrange it."
As Chu Mo's words ended, Chu Wen on the other end of the phone realized that Chu Mo didn't want to discuss Ding Qian's situation. She sighed softly and then spoke in a somewhat disheartened tone:
"I just feel that I am too dumb, unable to adapt to the fast-paced and high-intensity work here."
Chu Mo nodded lightly, already having made up his mind. He didn't beat around the bush but responded directly:
"This is what we'll do, you take a good rest today, don't do anything, and focus on what you want to do. Tomorrow I will have Zhan Bingxue from Bafang International come to see you.
Whatever you want to do, you can tell her. She will help you arrange it. As for Zhao Shuangshuang... she's the same. If she wants to stay, the treatment remains unchanged. If she too doesn't want to be a trainee, she can choose a new job with you.
This time it's entirely up to you to decide. Think it over carefully."
With that, as the girl on the other end quietly agreed, Chu Mo hung up the phone.
At that moment, the figure of the butler Danny once again appeared beside him.
"Mr. Chu, how should we handle Miss Ding at the entrance of the community?"
Chu Mo handed his phone to He Qing, the head housemaid beside him, then lay back lazily on the lounge chair. He wasn't very hungry to begin with, having only eaten a little while accompanying Li Tingting, and now had no appetite at all.
