Chapter 579: The Girl's Guess
Several girls rushed towards us from the opposite direction, which caused the nearby bodyguards to lose their composure as a muscular black man automatically stepped in front of Saudi Prince Awalid, his entire demeanor one of alert readiness.
Seeing that the situation was about to spiral out of control, Chu Mo immediately nodded at Lei Ting.
A tall man standing at one-ninety-five, with a physique like an iron tower, flashed in front of the girls, and perhaps it was because Lei Ting's aura was too overbearing, but the girls, who were initially excited, immediately regained their composure and became cautious.
The scene, which was on the brink of chaos, was brought under control; the tightly wound bodyguards ready to intervene also gradually calmed down, and with Awalid's gesture, the black bodyguard protecting his side also returned to his original position.
"Um... we just wanted to get Wang Tuo's autograph...!"
The girl standing in front of them, clad in an off-shoulder long dress with a ninety-percent beauty score and long hair, began to explain with caution.
Chu Mo observed that many people had already turned their attention to this spot, and even near the barbecue restaurant, at least a dozen men in black were converging on the area.
Those black-clad bodyguards were familiar to Chu Mo, and among them, a few were clearly his own; after a moment's thought, Chu Mo knew that these A-level bodyguards must have been sent by Jiang Tao to protect him.
Although he felt it was unnecessary, this was Jiang Tao's kindness, and Chu Mo had no intention of saying much about it.
Seeing that the princes had lost interest in eating, Chu Mo stood up and casually suggested, "Gentlemen, let's stroll around a bit."
The princes stood up simultaneously, and Chu Mo's group proceeded to leave the barbecue restaurant. Just as they were about to disappear from view, the girl who had previously shared a cross-cupped drink with Chu Mo suddenly chased after them. However, before she got close to Chu Mo and his companions, she was blocked by a bodyguard. Undeterred, she called out loudly to Chu Mo, "We really are just fans of Wang Tuo, could you please help us get his autograph?"
Chu Mo paused, somewhat unable to understand these girls' actions at this moment—as fans, they had even gone to such lengths.
Chu Mo did not usually have any favorite celebrities; with his current stature, a mere word from him could make anyone famous. Ding Xiaoni, who was previously just a first-tier artist, also became the top star of Shi Yuan Entertainment because of his word, and had even advanced to Hollywood, becoming the only international female star from Hua Country, with a status unrivaled within the entire entertainment industry.
Chu Mo, capable of making someone famous with a single word, could also ruin the reputation of any popular star just as easily. For instance, although Wang Tuo was also part of the ultra-first-tier circle of artists, if Chu Mo showed even a slight dissatisfaction, he could be sidelined by the company, going from widely celebrated to completely ignored.
Chu Mo took a deep breath and looked at the pleading girl in the short skirt behind him, feeling somewhat helpless. He was about to leave without acknowledgment when Geng Pan, the heir of the Ross family, suddenly smiled and said, "Chu, you've already shared a cross-cupped drink with this girl, which by the customs of your Hua Country means you're quite fated. So, fulfilling a lady's small wish should be the happiest duty for us gentlemen, shouldn't it?"
Geng Pan, an American, naturally leaned towards being romantic; his gaze held a hint of a smile, and his whole personality exuded elegance.
Chu Mo, who had been about to leave, stopped in his tracks. Since Geng Pan had put it that way, ignoring the request would seem too callous.
He took a deep breath, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket. After searching for a while, he found that he did not have the superstar Wang Tuo's number.
Chu Mo's phone only had the numbers of a few female celebrities—Ding Qian, Ding Xiaoni, Sun Qing, and Situ Lichun. As for other male stars, even if they intended to befriend him, Chu Mo had no interest in interacting with them.
Although he had intended to give up, when he saw the princes around him looking interested, Chu Mo couldn't easily give up with a wry smile.
He directly called the number of Qin Zixuan, the chairman of Shi Yuan Entertainment. After the call connected and several rings, she picked up on the other end.
"Mr. Chu, are you looking for me? I'm at Emperor Xuan Villas now, should I come to Villa No. 1 to see you?"
The voice of Qin Zixuan on the phone was soft and pleasant. It was already ten o'clock at night, and with Shi Yuan Entertainment running smoothly, as the chairman, Qin Zixuan no longer needed to work late into the night like before.
For her, being home by ten o'clock was normal. Occasionally, Chu Mo would also visit her at Villa No. 8, or if he felt lonely, he would actively call Qin Zixuan to come to Villa No. 1.
Chu Mo inhaled gently, then replied aloofly, "No need, I'm outside right now, and I need something from you. You have Wang Tuo's number, right? I've encountered some kids outside, they are fans of Wang Tuo and would like an autograph."
As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, Qin Zixuan immediately responded, "I understand. In one minute, I will have Wang Tuo return your call."
Chu Mo did not delay any further, he simply hung up the phone, and while taking a breath, he noticed that several young girls were huddled together behind him, all looking at him expectantly.
