Chapter 432: No Man's Land
Chang'an Club, as the largest and also the most prosperous club in the entirety of Capital City, gathered the city's top tycoons. Typically, those worth less than ten million had no qualification to enter, and today was even more special. Tonight, an extremely high-profile banquet was to be held here, and only the top tycoons were invited. Anyone not invited couldn't get in.
At six fifty in the evening, with ten minutes left before the start of the party, a long convoy slowly made its way from the main road. When dozens of luxury cars sequentially stopped in front of the entrance of Chang'an Club, the club's general manager, having received the news, personally went forward to greet them.
The entire club's dozen executives, plus several dozen waiters, were all present to welcome the guests, showcasing the club's enthusiasm.
Accompanied by a series of car doors opening, a group of tall, professional bodyguards dressed in black suits swiftly got out of the cars. These men rapidly secured the entrance of the club, their faces stern with a severe and deadly expression.
The club's general manager, who had originally planned to go forward to welcome them, was stopped several meters away, not allowed to advance. As everyone watched tensely, the central Rolls-Royce's door slowly opened. Shortly after, a black leather shoe stepped out of the car, followed by a handsome young man who leisurely alighted.
The youth with golden glasses had a sharp and bright gaze. He possessed a chiseled, handsome visage and delicate features. Although he didn't quite match the beauty idols who lived off their looks, with the backdrop of around a hundred bodyguards, a dazzling brilliance someone dares not look directly at emanated from him.
Only then did the middle-aged manager find an opportunity. He took the initiative to step forward two paces, and upon approaching the young man, immediately said with a beaming smile:
"Mr. Chu, we've been expecting you for a long time, please come inside!"
As the middle-aged manager bowed, the dozens of receptionists and waiters around him bowed simultaneously. Together with the nearby hundreds of sharp-eyed professional bodyguards, the entrance of Chang'an Club immediately radiated an air of solemnity.
In the midst of everyone's respectful attention, Chu Mo didn't immediately step forward. Instead, he slightly turned and gestured invitingly towards the person inside the car. Shortly after, a woman with world-class beauty and an enchanting figure stepped out of the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. With eyes as bright as stars, she placed a delicate hand in Chu Mo's palm, then smiled sweetly.
The breathtaking beauty, with a 97 out of 100 in looks, showed her most beautiful smile in front of the man she liked. In that moment, it was as if everything revived with the spring breeze, and all those nearby were at a loss.
With a hint of admiration flashing in his heart, Chu Mo took her jade-like hand. After the Shui Mu University Student Union President Jiang Tao handed them a gold-embossed invitation, the two slowly made their way towards the entrance.
As they entered the hall, they were immediately greeted with a melodious violin sound. The music was exquisite, inducing a feeling of relaxation. It must have been a well-known violin maestro performing.
"This is my first time attending such a grand ball with you, Brother Chu. I'm... looking forward to it!"
The girl in the pink dress, Who had a radiant smile, was already devastatingly beautiful and had now adorned herself exquisitely, appearing as vibrant as a blooming flower.
Chu Mo gently pinched the girl's hand. For this highly talented student from Shui Mu University, Chu Mo felt a genuine fondness. He softly said:
"There will be many more chances in the future. By then, you will definitely be the center of attention."
While they spoke softly, led by the middle-aged manager, they quickly entered the ballroom. All around, groups of socialites and magnates were either chatting quietly or letting out hearty laughs, each with a perfectly timed smile on their face.
The moment Chu Mo and the girl entered the hall, they immediately attracted many gazes. Some were astonished, some curious, and others found it unbelievable.
Most people here hadn't seen Chu Mo before, but that didn't prevent many from having heard his name.
Mr. Chu of Hua Country's metropolis, the name had long transcended its local fame; it was circulated throughout the entire country's top circles with all sorts of legends.
Chu Mo could naturally ignore everyone's gazes. Holding the girl's hand, he walked straight into the hall and then began to casually stroll around.
"I hadn't eaten dinner when I arrived, and the snacks here are quite tasty."
The girl, oblivious to the fervent stares of numerous gentlemen around her, focused all her attention on Chu Mo. To her, the fattened magnates of the hall simply couldn't compare to Chu Mo, and even the handsome young men paled in comparison when standing next to him.
With ninety-nine percent of the people present less wealthy than Chu Mo, and those of similar status aged in their seventies and eighties, it was perfectly normal for the girl's heart to have room only for Chu Mo.
Various snacks and gourmet dishes filled the hall. As Chu Mo had flown in that morning and had only eaten casually on the plane, by now, it was already seven in the evening, and his stomach was growling. Without being polite, he and the girl quickly started sweeping through the myriad of delicacies on the table.
