Chapter 481: The Person in Power_2
If the three women before him did not have their hearts set on his side, even if he kept their company, it would be meaningless.
However, as soon as he had spoken, the three exquisitely beautiful women shook their heads simultaneously, their expressions slightly anxious. Then, the longest-haired woman with the highest beauty quickly spoke:
"Please, Mr. Chu, don't send us back. Even if we return to the Zhao family, we will still inevitably face the fate of being sent away. Rather than being treated like livestock by the Zhao family to be given away at will, we three sisters would prefer to stay in a stable place. Mr. Chu, as long as you do not treat us casually like gifts, we are willing to serve you for a lifetime."
Chu Mo looked at the three cautiously faced women and imagined their days in the Zhao family were not so smooth. Since they were willing to follow him, Chu Mo did not hesitate and nodded gently, then replied:
"The only thing I can promise you is that I will not treat you as items to be given away at will. You can rest assured about that!"
After he spoke, he did not stay any longer but turned around and walked away.
Half an hour later, the last group of bodyguards came out of the restaurant, and Chu Mo returned to the backseat of the Rolls-Royce. The long convoy started, and just as Chu Mo ordered to move forward, Jiang Tao, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Chu, the bar girl we captured earlier from the Huiyuan Bar seems to be in a bad way. She is likely running a high fever, and after all the worry and fright on the road, her fever has become even worse... What should we do?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo slightly furrowed his brow.
Earlier in the bar, not only had he smashed up the entire Huiyuan Bar, but he had also captured a bar girl, Gao Xia, the mood group leader of the Huiyuan Bar. She had spoken to Dong Xun'er, and Dong Xun'er's conversation with Sun Mengqi was also overheard by her, as she was there throughout the event. Chu Mo, fearing something might go wrong, simply brought her along with him.
Unfortunately, she seemed to have fallen ill with a fever, and now it appeared to be quite serious.
After all, the woman named Gao Xia was just a passerby; she had not committed any unforgivable crime. If her illness worsened due to his forceful actions, Chu Mo would also feel uncomfortable about it.
He pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"Jiang Rourou, go take care of her. Our main group will go ahead, and you take her to see a doctor. I'll leave some people for you to use. Once you're sure there is no major problem, catch up with us."
After receiving Chu Mo's instructions, Jiang Rourou, who was already sitting nearby, immediately nodded and swiftly got out of the car.
The door of the Rolls-Royce closed, and Jiang Rourou took a seat in the front row of a Hongqi car.
A moment later, the convoy set off again, but two Hongqi cars stopped in the service area.
Then, the night passed without incident, and the entire convoy never encountered any trouble. The next morning, as the sky began to brighten, the hundred or so vehicles finally arrived at the Capital.
After passing through the downtown area, all vehicles finally stopped in front of the Tianxin Building.
By that time, at the entrance of the Tianxin Building, including the general manager, hundreds of staff members and a group of top executives stepped forward to welcome them. As Chu Mo got out of the car, the entire Tianxin Building had already stopped all external business operations.
The Tianxin Building was Chu Mo's second business asset in the Capital; his first consisted of a dozen jewelry stores he had acquired in the city.
Nevertheless, these stores together were worth only a few billion, nothing compared to the super-tall building he had purchased for a full fifty billion.
A few days ago, Dong Xun'er had already signed an agreement with the Luo Family, and now the building officially belonged to Chu Mo's property. By this time, the entire building's staff had been replaced by his own people, including the general manager in front of him, who had also been transferred from Magic Capital.
The purpose of building the Tianxin Building was to attract top 500 global corporations to set up their business, thereby creating an international real estate project.
Surrounded by azure waters, with the "four waters converging to the hall," Tianxin Building stood out majestically. Walking down the axis of the CBD's core area and toward the building, one would enter through the main entrance: a huge arch 40 meters high at the base of the building, giving a sense of ceremony as one passed beneath it.
There was no doubt about the landmark status of Tianxin Building. According to the design, the structure had 7 basement levels, 108 above-ground floors, accommodating offices, apartments, and a hotel. Below, there would be commercial space connected to the circular commercial spaces of the other CBD plots and pedestrian corridors leading to the subway.
The top few floors of the building were equipped with specialty restaurants and bars open to the public, while the very top level had an all-glass curtain wall.
"Mr. Chu, I am the person-in-charge assigned by Dong Xun'er in Capital City, and also the direct head of Tianxin Building. My name is Jia Tianze. Let me introduce to you, currently, our Tianxin Building boasts eight world-leading achievements. First, Tianxin Building is designed to withstand an eight-magnitude earthquake, making it the world's tallest building with such specifications—528 meters.
Second, it has the world's deepest and most layered basement structure for a super-tall building—8 basement levels; third, our Tianxin Building has the largest base area for a super-tall building—6,084 square meters."
The man who identified himself as Jia Tianze appeared to be in his fifties, slightly overweight, but nonetheless exuded exceptional solemnness and authority.
Chu Mo had some impression of him. In the past, when he visited the three tall buildings in Magic Capital, all the senior executives would line up to welcome him under Dong Xun'er's leadership. This man named Jia Tianze had stood right beside Dong Xun'er.
For Dong Xun'er to dispatch this man to Capital City to manage a super-tall building worth fifty billion, he must be deeply trusted and possess extraordinary capabilities. Otherwise, such an important position as the head of Capital City wouldn't have fallen to him.
Chu Mo stepped forward lightly. Two months ago, he had come to Capital City with Dong Xun'er for a party and had visited this place. However, at that time, this super-tall building was still the property of the Luo Family of Capital City.
Controlled by the Luo Family, the Tianxin Group was worth 450 trillion, and the Family Head, Luo Hao, was also a person of meticulous thoughts.
As one of the three major families in Capital City, the Luo Family was in constant competition with one of the eight major families, the Yang Family. And even the Yang Family, with a trillion in assets, couldn't outmaneuver Luo Hao, which spoke volumes about his deep influence.
Chu Mo acquired this super-tall building from the Luo Family for fifty billion, marking an important step in his expansion outside of Magic Capital and his strategic plans across Hua Country—naturally, he couldn't be casual about it.
The man named Jia Tianze was also aware that the young man wearing gold-framed glasses in front of him was the real controller of the building and that with just a word from Chu Mo, he could be removed from such a dazzling position, so he was extremely cautious.
"Tianxin Building features the largest cross-section of multi-cell composite steel-concrete mega columns in the world—64 square meters.
It is also home to the tallest and largest indoor observation deck among super-tall buildings (with a clear height of about 18 meters, spanning three floors without columns, offering a 360-degree view over Beijing City), and boasts the highest elevator lift height in the world—508 meters."
The composed man continued to guide the way, talking all the while with a confident and composed manner.
At this moment, Chu Mo was also seriously observing the man's every move.
For Chu Mo, Capital City, second only to Magic Capital, was a highly significant part of his strategic layout; he couldn't afford any mistakes. Therefore, he was discreetly evaluating the man before him. If there was the slightest fault, he would order Dong Xun'er to replace him immediately.
However, the man named Jia Tianze remained calm and composed, with no inappropriate behavior.
Chu Mo followed the man's steps, and in the end, he nodded slightly, as if to affirm the man before him.
Five minutes later, Chu Mo arrived at a presidential suite on the sixty-ninth floor. After asking everyone to leave, he opened the door to find Dong Xun'er's figure in the living room.
