Chapter 538 Results of the Longevity Club
Chu Xiner didn't rush over until after her last class, but by that time, Chu Mo and the group had already toured the entire campus. Naturally, it was also noon, which meant it was time for lunch.
Chu Jie chose a restaurant nearby the University of Science and Technology for the meal. Although it wasn't as luxurious as Tianxiang Garden, it was clean and tidy — too expensive for the average person to afford.
After lunch, Chu Mo dropped the girls back at school and then left with Liu Manli.
He had just come for a casual stroll and the girls had already accompanied him all morning; he couldn't keep holding them up.
Chu Mo had planned to spend three good days with Liu Manli, and then send her off, but just as he had arranged a luxury yacht to take her out to sea, his phone rang.
The caller was none other than Yang Xuan, the principal person in charge of the Longevity Club.
As Chu Mo's former roommate, she had always been very close to him. When they were together, they were more uninhibited than with any other spokespersons.
However, Yang Xuan never usually took the initiative to contact him, so when she did so out of character today, Chu Mo didn't dare to neglect it.
Once he answered the call, Chu Mo's expression immediately grew incredibly serious.
Liu Manli, who was with him, also sensed the change in the atmosphere.
But as a mature and steady woman, she wouldn't disturb Chu Mo's important matters because of her personal reasons. Thus, when Chu Mo hung up the phone, the kind-hearted female tycoon took the initiative to say goodbye.
Chu Mo hesitated for a moment; he weighed the pros and cons and decided that the matters at the Longevity Club were more pressing. As for Liu Manli, if there wasn't enough time this time, they could meet again later. After all, they had already broken through the last barrier and were no longer so constrained by formalities. There would be other days.
After watching Liu Manli get into the stretched Lincoln and depart, Chu Mo immediately got into his Rolls-Royce Phantom, and a convoy of luxury cars sped towards the Longevity Club, soon reaching the destination.
The Longevity Club was one of Chu Mo's most important properties and also the one he had invested the most in to date.
Not to mention the research building worth tens of billions right in front of his eyes, just the annual expenditure on inviting the numerous scientists and purchasing various equipment had already totaled over 300 billion.
The Longevity Club was indeed a bottomless pit, but Chu Mo, driven by the desire to unlock the secrets of human longevity, was prepared to invest without stinginess. As long as Yang Xuan applied for funding, he would immediately transfer the money to her account without a second thought.
The club's research had continued for an entire year, and besides several Nobel Prize laureates, many top-notch experts had been invited to join the ranks. With nearly a hundred top scientists, the scale of the club was something very rare even on a global scale.
When Chu Mo got out of the Rolls-Royce, the first to greet him wasn't Yang Xuan but Liang Bing, one of the three leaders.
Liang Bing, with her outstanding looks, rivalled the ninety-nine-point beauty Ding Qian. She was of the type that could bring down empires with her beauty.
Initially apprehensive about her ability to handle the job, Chu Mo had placed her in the Longevity Club, but now it seemed his decision had been wise. Liang Bing wasn't just a pretty face; she was highly capable. Under her management, the club's nearly a hundred top scientists could work with peace of mind, and no significant issues had occurred in a year.
"Mr. Chu, you've arrived,"
Dressed in a light blue skirt, Liang Bing's long hair was tied up high, showing off her snowy neck and giving her an air of efficiency.
Chu Mo nodded slightly to the Liang Bing before him, choosing not to say much, and instead walked directly toward the Changshou Building in front of him.
This building was the headquarters of the Longevity Club, where all scientific research was conducted, and its top floor housed an incredibly luxurious reception area.
The club had strict membership requirements; one needed a net worth of at least one hundred billion to join, and anyone below that threshold wouldn't be eligible to set foot inside.
Of course, to provide high-quality services to those billionaire members, the club's decor and facilities were absolutely top-notch in the world.
Chu Mo walked toward the interior of the building with Liang Bing.
The security here was incredibly strict, even stricter than at Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One where Chu Mo lived. Over a thousand detectives took turns on duty here, and without permission, not even a fly could get in.
Even on a regular day, the club would have at least a hundred professional bodyguards on hand; anyone going in or out would face strict scrutiny.
Of course, as one of the three principal leaders of the club, Liang Bing had the privilege of coming and going freely, and since Chu Mo, the big boss, was accompanying her, the bodyguards hidden in the corners did not intervene.
The two arrived at the private elevator. Liang Bing quickly entered a long and complicated password on the keypad, and after the elevator doors opened, they headed straight for the basement.
