Chapter 579: Girl's Guess_2
Chu Mo looked at the several girls, cautious and shy, as he gently shook his phone and then said with a smile,
"I've made contact, he'll call in two minutes."
"Ah...!"
"Really...?"
The girls immediately let out excited shrieks. Seeing the girl with the longest hair and the highest beauty score, Chu Mo noticed she was so thrilled that even tears were sparkling at the corners of her eyes.
He really couldn't understand the thoughts of these girls; at least with his temperament, he absolutely couldn't grasp their emotions.
He didn't have to wait long—at most not even a minute—when his phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, which showed an unfamiliar number, Chu Mo took a gentle breath before pressing the answer button. As he brought the phone to his ear, a rich, magnetic male voice indeed came from the other end.
"Mr. Chu, this is Wang Tuo. Chairman Qin mentioned you were looking for me?"
The voice on the other end was cautious. Being summoned personally by the big boss behind the scenes, Chu Mo, was a first for Wang Tuo. If he was lucky, this call might even change his fate. Even as a top superstar, Wang Tuo couldn't hide his nervousness.
Chu Mo glanced at the several Princes standing beside him, who had been waiting patiently. Not wanting to make them wait too long, Chu Mo casually said,
"I've run into some kids here; they're your fans and would like your autograph...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Tuo immediately assured from the other end of the phone,
"Mr. Chu, where are you now? I'll be there in twenty minutes."
Clearly, Wang Tuo had misunderstood something, but regardless, getting a chance to show his face in front of the big boss was still a good thing.
Chu Mo sighed softly, not wanting to waste more time, and said casually,
"Hang on, I'll let them talk to you directly so you guys can arrange a place to meet. Just give them a few autographs."
Chu Mo handed the phone to the long-haired girl across from him. Watching her trembling with excitement, he couldn't help but smirk slightly. After she had chatted with Wang Tuo for a moment and handed back his phone, Chu Mo left the area in the company of the Princes, with the girls bowing in gratitude.
It wasn't until the figures of Chu Mo and his group had disappeared that the girl in the off-shoulder long dress, with a beauty score of ninety, breathed a sigh of relief. However, she noticed several sturdy men in black crossing near her, their proficient appearance closely following the handsome young men.
"Do you guys think, what exactly is his identity? Are they international superstars?"
Luo Yu dropped the question, but the girl in the short skirt, who had once had a drink with Chu Mo, said in a slightly infatuated tone,
"I don't know what his identity is, but I think that guy looked so cool. He's not much worse than our idol Wang Tuo!"
"Zhuo Jingjing, you're swooning. How can that guy compare to our idol? Wang Tuo is the man of our dreams, our guardian angel. That guy might be a bit handsome, but he's nowhere near Wang Tuo," retorted a girl with short hair.
However, Zhuo Jingjing, who had had the drink with Chu Mo, was a bit displeased. She was deeply impressed by Chu Mo, and although Wang Tuo was her idol, she wouldn't allow her friend to belittle her heartthrob. Taking a deep breath, she immediately argued,
"Haven't you noticed? Wang Tuo might be a big star, but he seemed very cautious around that guy. If it wasn't the case, with Wang Tuo's aloof personality, would he have taken the initiative to meet us little fans?"
Despite a few girls being displeased with Zhuo Jingjing belittling their idol, they had no choice but to admit one fact. Without that boy, they absolutely could not have met their idol.
Thinking this way, the girls did not retort.
Among the girls, the one with the highest looks, Luo Yu, suddenly spoke up,
"You guys say, who exactly are those people? Not only are they good-looking and have a great demeanor, but they also have so many bodyguards around them. Even the big star Wang Tuo bows down to them; could these people be princes from some country?"
After Luo Yu finished speaking, she suddenly laughed, not even believing it herself. Princes were not that easy to meet.
"Let's not worry about that for now. Our idol said he would be here in twenty minutes, what should we talk about then? Is it just for a photo?"
"Stupid girl, what else do you think? If other people knew you had those improper thoughts about our idol, watch out that they don't skin you alive."
...
In front of the barbecue restaurant, several girls waited excitedly and expectantly for their idol to arrive. However, after this disturbance, Chu Mo and his group gradually lost interest in strolling. Considering an important gathering the next day and the late hour, they decided to head back home after strolling through the entire street.
At eleven o'clock at night, Chu Mo returned to the Emperor Hall on the hundredth floor of Tianxiang Garden. He initially wanted to go back to Emperor Xuan Villas, but considering that dozens of top wealthy people were staying here, he chose to stay here for safety, even though it was unlikely. In this case, Great Grandmaster Lei Ting and Qin Lan would also stay, along with the Great Grandmaster that was with Prince Ross. With three Great Grandmasters in Tianxiang Garden, Chu Mo trusted that no one would dare to cause trouble under such protection.
"Mr. Chu, there are currently four Great Grandmasters and nine almost-Grandmasters gathered in Tianxiang Garden, including me, Qin Lan, the Great Grandmaster with Prince Ross, and another Grandmaster from the Ross family. Additionally, there are six almost-Grandmasters accompanying the top wealthy individuals."
Lei Ting reported the situation of Tianxiang Garden to Chu Mo. Chu Mo pondered and finally remembered the man accompanying Geng Pan, a quiet white elder about fifty years old who had always kept a low profile and had hardly made any noticeable moves.
If it weren't for Lei Ting's information, Chu Mo might never have known that the quiet old man following Geng Pan was actually a Great Grandmaster.
However, thinking about it, it made sense. With the Ross family as America's first family and Geng Pan being a strong contender for the family head, his visit this time was a reconnaissance mission, and naturally, he placed great importance on safety.
Considering the Ross family's immense size of 50 trillion, it wasn't impossible for them to recruit several Great Grandmasters.
In this light, perhaps not only these Great Grandmasters would be present, but as the Longevity Club's banquet officially begins tomorrow, when a hundred and ten top wealthy individuals arrive, those ancient and mysterious families bringing one or two Great Grandmasters would not be surprising.
Chu Mo suddenly became curious about how many Great Grandmasters would appear at tomorrow's gathering.
After all, in Hua Country, even including both Lei Ting and Qin Lan, there were only eight Great Grandmasters, and this was because Hua Country had a long history and profound heritage.
Some smaller places like Guo Jia might not have a Great Grandmaster in their entire territory, and even half-step Grandmasters were few and far between.
Of course, these were just Chu Mo's passing thoughts. As for the results, he would know tomorrow.
Before going to bed, Chu Mo specially called Yang Xuan, the general manager of Longevity Club. Even now, she had not yet rested. After briefly inquiring about the preparations of the club and receiving a positive response, Chu Mo was finally able to hang up the phone with peace of mind.
After putting down his phone and taking a gentle breath, Chu Mo lay on the expansive bed of the Emperor Hall, his mind pondering tomorrow's banquet.
Tomorrow, the first gathering of the Longevity Club would begin. With the implementation of the club's member assessment system, a new era would likely arrive.
