Chapter 346: The Man with the Grandest Presence in the Magic Capital
The two entered the private elevator, one after the other, and the high-speed elevator descended rapidly. Within a minute, they had traveled from the ninetieth floor to the ground-level lobby.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Fan Gao, who had been waiting in the lobby with dozens of black-suited bodyguards, immediately secured the perimeter, while Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel's general manager Xu Jing also greeted them respectfully, accompanied by a host of hotel executives.
Chu Mo paid no attention to the pleasantries of the hotel's management team. He strode directly towards the exit, and many of the guests, witnessing such a display, instinctively stopped in their tracks, their curious gazes wandering over him.
Of course, those who could afford to stay at a seven-star hotel were not ordinary people. The expense had already excluded the working class, so anyone entering or leaving here, without a net worth of at least ten million, would feel the pinch. Yet, even such individuals did not make a fuss over the scene before them.
At most, some guests paused momentarily, curiously inspecting the spectacle with their eyes.
As Chu Mo walked towards the hotel's main entrance, the dozens of black-suited bodyguards also remained vigilant around him. Beside him was Dong Qing, a woman in a purple qipao, who possessed an elegant and serene beauty with a 97 percent rating!
Following behind were Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel's general manager Xu Jing, the deputy manager, and over a dozen department heads - individuals of significant influence who were ordinarily difficult to meet. Now, like attendants, they carefully followed Chu Mo, each not daring even to breathe too loudly.
The moment he stepped out of the lobby, brilliant sunlight spilled before his eyes, causing Chu Mo to squint slightly.
Behind him, Fan Gao had already taken the lead with the bodyguards to completely secure the main entrance, forbidding any of the guests to enter or leave.
Mercedes-Maybach, Rolls-Royce Phantoms, Bentleys, two Red Chess Cars, and three Lincolns, eight luxury cars collectively worth tens of millions, stood silently in front of him.
Head of the bodyguards, Fan Gao, personally opened the door of the Maybach for Chu Mo.
Upon reaching the car door, Xu Jing, the only hotel executive who had followed him, lightly bowed and said:
"Mr. Chu, our chairman Zhan Bingxue sends her regards. Today is the start of the month, and our chairman needs to preside over the monthly report meeting, so she could not rush over.
Additionally, Master Zhou Tianfang of the Zhou family was sent to the hospital last night. The hospital has diagnosed him with four broken ribs, but his life is not in danger. With proper rest, he should recover without major issues.
Following your instructions, we copied the video from last night's incident in the lobby and delivered it to Family Head Zhou Weimin of the Zhou family. Zhou Weimin simply said that you had been troubled by the incident and did not say much else!"
Chu Mo listened quietly to Xu Jing's report and after a moment, he nodded slightly before responding calmly:
"You have worked hard."
As these words fell, and Xu Jing bowed respectfully, Chu Mo settled into the back seat of the Maybach, and as Dong Qing, clad in her qipao, also sat down, Fan Gao closed the car door for them both.
The twenty or thirty bodyguards who had been securing the perimeter all got into their vehicles, and as the sound of doors shutting banged out, Chu Mo, through the car window, saw Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel's general manager Xu Jing, leading the whole management team, bowing to send off his motorcade.
"Depart!"
With Chu Mo's indifferent command, the luxurious Maybach began to move slowly, followed by seven other top-tier luxury cars as they blended into the stream of traffic.
Only after the entire motorcade had completely disappeared did the dozen or so hotel executives at the main entrance breathe a small sigh of relief!
The big boss may have been sparse with words, but his mere presence exerted an immense pressure on them.
...
In the heart of Modu City.
A motorcade of eight luxury cars moved slowly along the bustling streets of Modu, with two Red Chess Cars leading the way, lending the procession an air of distinction.
Though there were many impatient drivers on the streets who recklessly overtook others to showcase their driving skills, anyone who did not want to bring trouble upon themselves would refrain from acting rashly in front of such a lavish assembly, even if they were feeling irritable.
The convoy advanced smoothly, and in the spacious, luxurious backseat of the Maybach, Chu Mo was casually browsing some information on his phone.
The Lin family's jewelry business in Modu spanned the entire country, with Lin Youzhi turning Supreme Jewelry into one of Hua Country's top brands.
Supreme Jewelry of the Lin family had a retail network that covered nearly a hundred large and medium-sized cities across Hua Country, with more than two hundred stores, especially in Modu, where it could be said that the Lin family almost monopolized the entire city's jewelry business.
In Modu, the Lin family owned dozens of jewelry stores.
Supreme Jewelry stores of the Lin family had always been committed to providing consumers with high-quality products and excellent service.
After decades of effort, with products characterized by their grandeur, elegance, fashion, and subtle, refined Oriental charm blended with modern fashion tastes, along with excellent service and an elegant brand image, it could be said that they had won the recognition of Modu's consumers.
With decades of operation, the Lin family had seized the strategic high ground; at least in Modu and the nearby cities, their Supreme Jewelry had become deeply etched in people's hearts.
If the Lin family could not be wooed, facing a full-frontal confrontation with them at this time would inevitably come at a great cost.
Therefore, if possible, Chu Mo still wanted to make every effort to bring Lin Youzhi into his own camp.
From the 95th floor of Tianxiang Garden, Chu Mo could already see the Supreme Jewelry flagship store of the Lin family; it wasn't far away. After a few turns and twenty minutes later, the convoy began to slow down.
When the eight luxurious cars, each worth tens of millions, slowly stopped at the entrance of the Supreme Jewelry flagship store, the store's staff were already eagerly welcoming them!
But before the doormen could step forward to greet them, following a series of car doors opening, dozens of black-suited bodyguards had already rushed out and secured the entire entrance of the jewelry store.
At this point, even if there were other customers wanting to enter the store, they would be turned away by the bodyguards.
The jewelry store's staff were all kept outside, and only after everything was confirmed safe, the tall and burly Fan Gao personally approached the Maybach and respectfully opened the door.
Following which, Chu Mo, dressed in luxurious, personally tailored attire, slowly stepped out of the car.
Dong Qing, dressed in a purple cheongsam, also got out of the car, standing obediently at his side with her 97-score beauty.
Chu Mo looked up at the Supreme Jewelry flagship store in front of him. As the Lin family's largest jewelry store, this shop covered an astonishing 1,100 square meters on a single floor, with a total area of over 3,000 square meters across three floors.
There were easily scores of sales staff alone.
And with the arrival of Chu Mo, at least a dozen welcoming attendants were enthusiastically greeting at the storefront.
Chu Mo took his steps, and when he arrived at the entrance of the jewelry store, a middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor respectfully bowed and said:
"Mr. Chu, welcome to our store!"
Hearing this, Chu Mo paused, and with a hint of surprise he looked at the middle-aged man who did not seem at all familiar, and casually said:
"Have we met before? You know me?"
The middle-aged man, neither servile nor overbearing, immediately shook his head; his voice was rough as he said:
"I have never met Mr. Chu in person before, but in the whole of Modu, the only one with such confidence is you, Mr. Chu!
I may have never seen you before, sir, but I have long admired you."
Chu Mo merely nodded, without further conversation, he took his steps and walked towards the largest and most luxurious jewelry store in the whole of Modu.
