Chapter 118 The Iron-Willed Zhang Dongdong
The author of this book is quite skilled, listing many examples and narrating in a plain and straightforward manner.
Chu Mo, naturally, was not just reading, but also analyzing the writing techniques in the articles, striving to improve himself.
Chu Mo read a wide range of books, from celebrity biographies to fiction magazines, and he even found the story meetings from the 70s and 80s fascinating.
It was precisely his extensive reading that enabled him to write more profound articles.
However, Chu Mo's leisure was soon interrupted by a series of footsteps.
Chu Mo, who always disliked being interrupted, frowned slightly. When he looked up, he saw the butler, Danny, standing quietly in front of him.
Chu Mo merely gave him a quizzical glance without speaking. Understanding immediately, Danny respectfully said,
"Mr. Chu, the residential property management has sent a message, saying there is someone at the community gate who wants to see you."
Chu Mo closed his book and raised an eyebrow, asking casually,
"Who is it?"
The butler immediately replied,
"Zhang Dongdong from Wanlin Group."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo was startled for a moment before he gathered his thoughts and said swiftly,
"Tell the community security to let him in. Go and welcome him at the courtyard gate, and don't neglect our distinguished guest."
Danny promptly went downstairs respectfully. Chu Mo didn't hurry to follow; after making two phone calls to confirm the speculation in his mind, he adjusted his collar and then leisurely walked down the stairs.
In the past two months, Chu Mo had successively acquired Bafang International, the Financial Tower, and Tianyi International Hotel, involving transactions exceeding forty to fifty billion.
If everyone had scoffed at Chu Mo when he first proposed creating his own Hundred Billion Wealthy Club, now, any well-informed person should have received definite news.
Now, if anyone still took Chu Mo's bold words as a joke, they must truly be brainless.
Wanlin Group also owned several five-star hotels in Modu, and the storm Chu Mo had kicked up in the hotel industry had apparently caught the attention of this behemoth.
Zhang Dongdong's arrival as the top wealthy second-generation heir in Hua Country was likely a probing attempt.
Upon realizing this, Chu Mo, after an initial surprise, felt it was only natural for Wanlin Group to test the waters.
Of course, regarding why Wanlin Group's Chairman Zhang Dahua did not visit personally, Chu Mo guessed that the other party probably wanted to leave some room for maneuver.
Zhang Dongdong was about the same age as him, offering more topics of discussion, and this top-rich second-generation heir was definitely not uneducated.
Zhang Dongdong himself had studied abroad, possessed advanced business concepts, and had been making waves in recent years. Although he did not participate in the company's specific affairs, his status as the Crown Prince and heir apparent was obvious.
With him reaching out, Chu Mo felt Wanlin Group had made a sensible choice.
Chu Mo deliberately looked at his watch, noting it was three-fifteen in the afternoon.
He stepped into the living room and noticed several unfamiliar maids, only recognizing them when he saw one who looked somewhat familiar. He then realized that the six maids in the hall were the ones who served Qin Zixuan in villa number eight.

The butler took the eight maids from the villa to welcome the honoured guest at the courtyard gate, and to show respect, Danny took the initiative to call over the six maids who served Qin Zixuan.
Although it seemed a bit ostentatious, it was a well-intended gesture by Danny, so Chu Mo refrained from commenting.
The moment he descended in the elevator, the six maids bowed respectfully. Although they served Qin Zixuan, in their hearts they were clearly aware of who the real master was and dared not show any negligence.
Chu Mo hesitated. Initially, he wanted to greet the visitor at the gate, but after some thought, he decided against it.
Zhang Dongdong might be the son of Hua Country's wealthiest man and the top wealthy second-generation heir domestically, but at the end of the day, he was just another rich second-generation.
As for Chu Mo, not to mention the unlimited bank cards hidden away, just the assets he held openly were already enough to earn him the right to negotiate with Family Head Zhang Dalin.
If Zhang Dalin had come personally, Chu Mo would naturally have gone to the courtyard gate to greet him, out of respect. However, since it was Zhang Dongdong who had arrived...Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The butler, along with eight maids, had gone to the door to welcome him, which was already quite an honor.
Chu Mo was sitting leisurely on the living room sofa waiting when, just as he was getting bored, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
After opening his phone, Chu Mo glanced at the caller ID, which showed it was Zhan Bingxue calling, and he directly answered.
"Mr. Chu, the chairman of Wanlin Group, Zhang Dahua, just called me. He didn't mention any important matters, just made casual conversation. We don't have any business dealings with Wanlin Group, so him calling at this time, what do you think...?"
Upon hearing this, the corners of Chu Mo's mouth curled up slightly, and without much ado, he unraveled the mystery:
"Zhang Dongdong is right at the villa's entrance; I had the butler go out to meet him. If I'm not mistaken, it should have something to do with our acquisition of Tianyi Hotel. Zhang Dahua calling you is just a heads-up."
"Then, Mr. Chu, since it's about the hotel, I should come over as well. I'll be there in twenty minutes," said Zhan Bingxue.
Chu Mo responded with a word of agreement and then hung up the call.
The sixty-eight billion Tianyi International Hotel was successfully acquired, and if everything went according to plan, Zhan Bingxue's next target would be Tianxiangyuan Hotel, under the banner of Wanlin Group.
This was the only seven-star super hotel in the Magic City.
It was even more upscale than the hundred billion market value Bafang International.
There were only two possibilities for Zhang Dongdong's visit at this time.
First, the news about Zhan Bingxue's plan to acquire Tianxiangyuan Hotel might have been leaked, prompting Zhang Dalin to take the initiative.
The second possibility was that the recent expansion of Bafang International had begun to threaten Zhang Dalin's layout in the Magic City...
But regardless of the reason, he would handle it himself next.
With an unlimited credit card in hand, Chu Mo really wasn't afraid of the First Rich of Hua Country, a man worth two hundred and eighty billion.
He didn't have to wait long; two minutes later, a series of bustling footsteps came from the entrance of the hall, followed by the voice of the butler, Danny, calling from a distance.
"Please come in, Mr. Zhang, my master is waiting for you."
As the voice faded, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.
Danny, bending slightly, introduced the imposing young man who was accompanied by a young girl as well.
With the guest at the doorstep, Chu Mo got up gently from the sofa and, with a hint of amusement in his tone, said:
"What an honor to have Mr. Zhang visit, my apologies for not meeting you further out..."
Zhang Dongdong, son of the First Rich of Hua Country, didn't possess the unruly demeanor typical of rich second generations. On the contrary, he seemed rather approachable.
If you didn't know in advance that he was the successor to a conglomerate worth hundreds of billions, you might mistake him for an ordinary young man.
Zhang Dongdong, extending his hand with a smile, was followed by a stunningly beautiful young girl.
The girl kept her phone in her hand, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her clear, curious eyes looked around.
Taking the initiative to shake hands, Zhang Dongdong spoke with a relaxed demeanor:
"Mr. Chu, this is my companion Xiao Shan, a live-streamer. She insisted I take her out to see the world. I hope you don't mind."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, then responded with a carefree chuckle:
"Not at all."
Indeed, it confirmed the saying online:
The steadfast Zhang Dongdong and the ever-changing beautiful internet celebrities.
