Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 420: The Power of a Spokesperson_2



However, after careful consideration, Chu Mo realized there was not a single image of the other party in his mind. He shook his head slightly, not dwelling on it, and spoke with a smile: "Miss Jiang, please have a seat. Danny, serve our guest some fine tea." Following Chu Mo's invitation, the lady in the red dress cast a cold glance at the tall Chen Yue standing by the door. Then, with a faint snort, she finally sat down directly across from Chu Mo. A maid promptly presented fragrant tea, and with an inviting gesture, Chu Mo lifted his cup and took a light sip before starting the conversation with a smile: "How is Elder Jiang doing nowadays?" "Didn't you just see him the night before last? My grandfather punched your toughest subordinate so hard they spat blood. What do you think, is he in good health?" As the girl named Jiang Rourou spoke with a cold expression, Chu Mo's eye twitched involuntarily. He nearly choked on her words. It had been a while since anyone dared to speak to him in such a tone. He gulped down some tea, set down his cup, and sat up straight. Chu Mo studied the woman in front of him more carefully. Jiang Rourou, the sole granddaughter of Jiang Dingnan, thirty-two years old, still unmarried, and known for her temper. Although his contact with her had been brief, Chu Mo generally saw that this woman had a really bad temper. If it weren't for the prior agreement with Jiang Dingnan, and indeed if he weren't trying to win over the Great Grandmaster, Chu Mo might not even want to give her a second glance. Yet now, even though he didn't like the woman internally, he still said: "Miss Jiang, do you have anything you particularly enjoy? Just name it, and I'll do my best to accommodate you!" The lady in the red dress smirked faintly. As Jiang Dingnan's only granddaughter, she had always been doted upon, never wanting for anything. She liked martial arts, and as a child, not knowing better, she secretly practiced standing on stakes. Unfortunately, she fell from one over a meter tall and broke her leg, resulting in being forbidden from martial arts training ever since. Nevertheless, she was never one to obey easily, often doing the opposite of what her family forbade. Having a Grandmaster for a grandfather meant that even if she only learned a few moves stealthily, her skill was far beyond that of normal people. However, as for what she genuinely liked to do, Jiang Rourou thought hard and then, with a smile splitting her features, said: "You'll agree to anything I ask for? How about this, let's have a fight. If you win, from now on I'll listen to everything you say, but if you lose, please convince my grandfather to stop meddling in my affairs from then on. My grandfather seems to have a high regard for you, youngster, so your words might be useful!" Chu Mo looked at the woman who smiled as she spoke, shaking his head somewhat speechlessly. His original idea was to find out what her interests were and then invest in that field, thus making her the spokesperson for the entire field. This was something Chu Mo had promised Jiang Dingnan, so he didn't plan to back out. But he certainly hadn't expected that this Miss Jiang would play so unexpectedly. Chu Mo had to seriously consider something: if he really let Jiang Rourou act as his spokesperson, with him spending hundreds of billions and sparing no expense in training her, would she end up being obedient at all in the end? Looking at her, she seemed to even be considering giving him a beating; there wasn't the slight hint of respect. Chu Mo felt it was necessary to teach her a lesson, to at least curb her arrogance. Thus, not rejecting her, he casually crossed his legs and said nonchalantly: "Fight me? Sure, but you need to be strong enough first. Here's the deal: if you can defeat my female bodyguard here, then I'll agree to have a match with you. If you win, not only will I help you convince your grandfather, I'll also grant you an additional wish. How about it, do you dare?" Chu Mo curved his lips slightly, expecting the woman in front of him to haggle or even refuse. Unexpectedly, she stood up abruptly, then walked to an open spot in the hall, her red dress swaying, looking provocatively at Chen Yue, Chu Mo's head coach, and waving her to come over. "I've been wanting to teach you a lesson since you spoke ill of me. Come on, let's see what you're made of." As Jiang Rourou called out challengingly, the tall woman in black directed her gaze to Chu Mo, who gave a slight nod. Chen Yue, the head coach of the Twelve Golden Phoenixes, with the strength of half a step into Grandmastery, stepped forward lightly. After arriving in front of Jiang Rourou, her voice was still cold as she said: "Please...!" Before she could finish, the woman in the red dress suddenly performed a side flip, and her right foot, clad in a high heel, turned into a sharp blade that smashed toward Chen Yue's head in an instant. There was no pretense of courtesy, the woman named Jiang Rourou attacked with such ferocity that had the kick landed, the heel of the shoe could have left a long scar on Chen Yue's face. But Chen Yue, after all, possessed the strength of a half-step Grandmaster, on the same level as Jiang Tao and Fan Gao, a powerful presence; she had judged the moment her opponent's shoulder moved and had swiftly backed away, narrowly avoiding the fierce attack when the woman in the red dress kicked out during her flip. ... In the instant Jiang Rourou raised her thigh high, she seemed to forget that she was wearing a long dress, which rapidly flew up, and as Chen Yue backed away to shield herself, in front of Chu Mo, there appeared a dazzling flash of purple. He turned his head away, slightly embarrassed, but it was just in that moment that a sharp shout reached his ears. Chu Mo instinctively turned back and then saw Chen Yue, dressed in black, retreating in disarray. Chu Mo didn't know what exactly had happened in that instant, but he did know that Jiang Rourou had managed to force a half-step Grandmaster to retreat several steps in a flash. When he refocused on the two women, Chen Yue had slowly regained her stance and once again adopted a defensive posture. However, this time Jiang Rourou suddenly pursed her lips. The woman, who to outsiders appeared to have limited martial arts skills, returned to the sofa and while rubbing her thigh said: "Let's stop here, I'm not wearing safety shorts today, if we continue fighting, some pervert will see everything." Chu Mo shook his head with a hint of regret, not because he couldn't enjoy the view just now, but purely because he wanted to know the true strength of the granddaughter of the Great Grandmaster! "Before my grandfather came here, he told me that coming to you would bring good fortune, and he didn't tell me exactly what the matter was; anyway, as long as it's not about setting us two up on a blind date, anything else doesn't matter." Jiang Rourou spoke with an indifferent face, and Chu Mo was gradually understanding her straightforwardness. Since Jiang Dingnan had not specified, it was up to Chu Mo to explain, and he softly said: "I once promised your grandfather that you would become my spokesperson, you should really consider what industry you like and what interests you. Once you've decided, I will invest in what interests you, and then you'll manage it...!" "What's that? In plain terms, you just want me to work for you? I, Jiang Rourou, would rather starve than work under someone like you!" Taking a deep breath and feeling a hint of helplessness, Chu Mo adjusted the glasses on his nose; he really felt speechless for a moment. But after all, Jiang Rourou was not his subordinate nor his servant; strictly speaking, he owed the Jiang family a favor, and even if annoyed, he had no reason to lose his temper at her. Suppressing the helplessness in his heart, Chu Mo said lightly: "If that's the case, then let's start by having you understand the influence of a few spokespeople around me. For now, you'll follow Zhan Bingxue. Zhan Bingxue is one of the earliest spokespeople who worked with me. Get to know her daily work routines and once you've grasped what being a spokesperson signifies, we'll continue our discussion. Danny, please escort Miss Jiang to Bafang International to find Zhan Bingxue, I will contact her!" The middle-aged butler immediately stood to invite, and Jiang Rourou, clearly reluctant to see more of Chu Mo, huffed coldly and murmured under her breath as she stood up and followed Danny, soon disappearing from the hall. It wasn't until her figure was gone that Chu Mo turned to Chen Yue, who was beside him, and inquired: "How about it, what do you think of Miss Jiang's skills?" "She's hiding her true capability, she's above me!"
