Chapter 490: Lu Siyue's Crisis
"Mr. Chu, I am willing to become the sixth female servant of the Longevity Club!"
Hua Country's top female celebrity, Situ Lichun, with her near-perfect beauty score of ninety-nine, lowered her head slightly as she responded. Chu Mo glanced at her, slightly surprised. He had initially thought she would hesitate or refuse, but unexpectedly, she agreed so readily.
After all, going from a highly exalted celebrity adored by tens of thousands to serving others as a female servant is a sublime fall in status. Even with the Longevity Club's remarkable standing, most people would hesitate significantly.
However, glancing at Fang Nianhan opposite him, Chu Mo knew that without the support of this great beauty of the Capital City, Situ Lichun would likely have been indecisive.
Since she had agreed, Chu Mo didn't dwell on it. He directly said,
"Give me your contact information. I'll have someone get in touch with you later. Don't worry, the identity of a Longevity Club female servant won't be made public, nor will it take up much of your time. Currently, the club has few members, and they don't usually visit, so you won't need to make many appearances.
Only when our research shows results and the club is full of members, you might be asked to be present!
But by that time, the Longevity Club will surely have become the world's number one club. I believe you'll be proud of your decision today!"
"Mr. Chu, please take good care of me in the future!"
The voice of Situ Lichun, the superstar with a billion fans worldwide and who was a sensation across Asia, was soft in her gratitude. Chu Mo merely waved his hand slightly, choosing not to say more.
For him, having Situ Lichun at the Longevity Club or not wasn't a significant issue. The foundation of the Longevity Club was research into human longevity, not those female servants with peak beauty.
If attracting people with pretty female servants was the strategy, then the Longevity Club would simply be repeating the old ways of Tianxiang Garden. There are plenty of such clubs around the world, and even if Chu Mo did his utmost, even if he gathered the world's most beautiful girls to his club, it would be tough to expand and strengthen it.
After all, there are countless clubs across the world, and many top clubs have been established for hundreds of years. With extensive networks and rich histories, these are not something Chu Mo can currently match.
To gain an advantage, he must try something new, and clubs relying merely on beautiful female servants cannot attract the top tycoons. Therefore, Situ Lichun's joining the club wouldn't make much of a difference. Only the Longevity Club's research can fundamentally attract all the top wealthy moguls.
Chu Mo's preference for Situ Lichun was merely considering Ren Wenxuan's feelings. Without Ren Wenxuan, he would never have agreed to let a female servant share in the research benefits.
While Chu Mo was exchanging pleasantries, Fan Gao, the leader of his bodyguard team, suddenly spoke up to remind him:
"Mr. Chu, please look over there. Miss Lu seems to be having some trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo's attention immediately shifted from the two girls beside him. Following Fan Gao's indication, indeed, he saw that Lu Siyue was surrounded by seven or eight men and women in a corner across the banquet hall. Opposite Lu Siyue, a heavily made-up, glamorous woman was speaking arrogantly about something.
With people coming and going in front of him, Chu Mo's view was quickly obstructed, and he looked over to the other side for a moment, unable to determine the relationship between Lu Siyue and that group of people.
Meanwhile, Fan Gao explained:
"Mr. Chu, the woman opposite Miss Lu is Xue Ling, the head of Heidi Cosmetics Company. Heidi Company is one of the top cosmetics companies in Hua Country and ranks within the top ten globally, with a market value of eighty-six billion."
As Fan Gao finished speaking, Chu Mo frowned slightly. He had already felt that the extravagant woman facing Lu Siyue was somewhat aggressive, but now that he knew her identity, he seemed to understand.
As his new spokesperson and the key to bringing the Lu family of Capital City to his side, Chu Mo naturally wouldn't stand by and watch her be bullied. Chu Mo gently adjusted his gold glasses on the bridge of his nose and slightly turned his head to the two women beside him to say:
"Feel free to enjoy yourselves. I see a friend, and I'm going to say hello."
Upon Chu Mo's words, Situ Lichun quickly nodded: "Mr. Chu, please feel free."
Fang Nianhan also nodded with a smile, and once Chu Mo started walking away, the two women with exceptional beauty simultaneously let out a sigh of relief!
...
Chu Mo's gaze traveled halfway around the banquet hall, and indeed, in a corner, he saw the head of one of the four great families of Capital City.
In Hua Country, in terms of connections and prestige, his fame was even greater than that of the heads of the eight great families. The Lu family owned a hundred billion in assets and ranked just after the Lin and Wu families among the four great families of Capital City, slightly ahead of the Zhou family. Although he possessed great wealth, he wasn't conspicuous here.
However, due to his immense personal prestige, about twenty people surrounded him.
These people were either those who had once benefited from Old Master Lu's generosity or had received his advice. In any case, they all showed him extraordinary respect.
Perhaps because of this, Old Master Lu didn't notice Lu Siyue being targeted in the corner.
Of course, Chu Mo had no intention of leveraging Old Master Lu's influence. Although Lu Siyue was from the Lu family, at this banquet, she attended in the capacity of the chairman of April Human Cosmetics Company, not as the lady of the Lu family.
