Chapter 462: May I Trouble CEO Ji to Visit CEO Mo’s Room (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Ai, the more we talk, the more agitated I feel. I truly can’t fathom the sort of woman that would make CEO Mo fall. He is truly too charming! I wonder if he is already married!”
“My family stays in Hai City, but a few years ago I was still schooling. I’m not sure where exactly I heard it from, but someone once mentioned to me that CEO Mo was previously married.”
“That can’t be. With CEO Mo’s qualities, there aren’t many women in this immense Hai City that could possibly match up to him. Even across the country, there are barely any women who are as outstanding as him. How could he have gotten married so early…”
“I’m not sure when exactly I heard it either. It should be before he took over Shine Group. I remember hearing that he was married in Hai City to the daughter of one of the Four Great Families. I can’t remember. I don’t have a strong impression of it.”
“He was really married? My god, what sort of woman could possibly catch the eyes of my male god? She must have lit the tallest incense in her previous life.”
Outside the restroom, Ji Nuan, who had very likely lit the tallest incense in her previous life, rubbed her itchy nose.
“But I haven’t heard any news about his wife recently. Perhaps they have a divorce.”
“They must be divorced. This sort of marriage across wealthy families is never stable.”
“But CEO Mo is truly so, so handsome, ah! Earlier, when I went to pour CEO Mo tea, he took a glance at me and even smiled at me. My soul was almost stolen.”
“How is that possible? I was watching the whole time. CEO Mo clearly didn’t smile.”
“He smiled; he smiled right at me!”
“…you must have been dreaming. CEO Mo rarely smiles or talks. He didn’t even smile at the provincial leaders; how could he possibly smile at you? Are flowers blooming on your face? Why would he smile at you?”
“Tsk, he clearly did. It’s fine if you won’t believe me. But honestly speaking, there are truly very little businesses in the Chinese circle that could go head-on with Shine Group. Let’s not even mention marriage, anyone who can become friends with him would surely have a very smooth path ahead. After all, ‘a man leaning against the tall tree can enjoy the shade it provides.’ No one could possibly topple a tall tree like CEO Mo.”
“That’s true. Shine Group can be considered the champion of Chinese enterprises. The Mo family is still located in Hai City. I hope CEO Mo will stay in Hai City forever and never return to America. Previously, the government kept requesting to cooperate with Shine Group but was always rejected. Who would have thought that, for the first time ever, they would approve a partnership with MN Group to build a sports stadium. The projects that the government previously chose to bring up with them were always superior. Yet they actually agreed to work with the government on this. They even allowed MN Group to take a share of the pie.”
“That’s right. This is the first time I’ve seen CEO Mo personally attend a meeting with the government. I was able to see his face every time I turned around; I almost died from happiness…”
Ji Nuan originally planned on entering the restroom she had passed by. After hearing the conversation inside, she contemplated for a moment and turned to head to another floor.
After using the restroom there, she returned to the conference room and resumed the meeting.
In the evening, the government officials invited everyone to a nearby hotel to share a meal. They prepared a luxurious private room with two tables of a sumptuous feast.
Ji Nuan first accompanied them to eat, but upon realizing that one of her clients was coincidentally around the area, she took the opportunity while various elites were putting on their polite masks to sneak away. She then had a simple meal with her client nearby.
She did not spend too much time with that client. After a simple chat, two hours later, she let Xiao Ba, who had accompanied her, head home first. Ji Nuan then took her time to return to the hotel.
The atmosphere in the private room was lively. They already had three rounds of drinks, and one of the leaders had begun singing in excitement.
Ji Nuan scanned the space and did not head in when she saw that there weren’t any seats available. She stood by the door and smiled to chat lazily with the relatively sober guests.
After chatting for a while, she noticed that a few people were missing. She inquired about them and learned that some of them had moved next door the play cards.
Mo Jingshen was also missing. Could he have gone next door too?
A moment later, the people from next door came back. The person who pushed the door open was Shen Mu. Shen Mu busily called for others to head over to continue the game, shouting that they needed one more player to start the game.
When he approached Ji Nuan’s side, Shen Mu smiled to ask, “CEO Ji, would you like to head over for a round? We’re playing mahjong. You should be able to play it.”
“If it’s mahjong, forget about it. I don’t know how to play it well. Were you playing cards with others next door?” Ji Nuan asked.
Shen Mu nodded. He smiled and greeted a political leader who approached from the side before turning back to Ji Nuan: “You must want to know where CEO Mo is, right?”
“No.”
It was far too noisy in the private room, and Shen Mu appeared not to have heard Ji Nuan. He lowered his head and leaned in close to whisper: “Recently, CEO Mo has been working overtime in the office and pulling all-nighters. He had a few drinks earlier and went next door to rest. In the past few years, CEO Mo has been experiencing insomnia frequently. I doubt this place can provide any peace and quiet. CEO Ji, if you’re free, why don’t you head to a pharmacy nearby to buy some insomnia medication and send it to CEO Mo for me.”
Shen Mu immediately stuffed a room card into Ji Nuan’s hands after speaking. Afterward, he did not take a second look at her expression. With a smile, he greeted the businessman who was about to head next door for a round of mahjong with him.
Ji Nuan wanted to say that there was no need to trouble her for this sort of matter. However, Shen Mu was clearly slightly drunk and was excitedly calling for the various elites to play mahjong with him. It was obvious he felt that Ji Nuan was the only person he could trust to enter Mo Jingshen’s room and did not think twice before handing the card to her.
And he actually wanted her to buy insomnia medication for Mo Jingshen.
After successfully encouraging the group of elites to play, he victoriously brought out enough people to start a second table of mahjong. As he was about to leave, he suddenly recalled Ji Nuan. He turned back to see that Ji Nuan sat in her position and clearly did not plan on helping him.
He busily clasped his hands together in a begging gesture and whispered to her: “Ancestor, please help me. I’m busy serving the elites to play mahjong. I really can’t leave. Help me, please, ha…”
Afterward, Shen Mu gave her another sincere and pleading smile before turning to head out with the excited political elites.
Ji Nuan stared at Shen Mu’s drunken and excited silhouette in distaste. She then looked at the room card in her hands.
