Chapter 480: Chu Mo's Purpose
```
"Mr. Chu, good morning!"
Three gracefully shaped, stunningly beautiful women stood gently before him. As they all slightly bowed and greeted him in unison, their sweet voices seemed to possess a trembling magic.
Facing such a scene, if it were Chu Mo from a year ago, he might have been so excited that he couldn't speak or even possibly quiver with enthusiasm throughout his body.
However, Chu Mo at this moment was extraordinarily calm, observing them as if they were very ordinary objects. Although there was a small hint of amazement in his eyes, his demeanor remained completely lucid.
By Chu Mo's side, several personal bodyguards maintained their stance, with their eyes watching their noses and noses watching their hearts, showing no reaction at all. The only female in the group, Jiang Rourou with half-step Grandmaster strength, on the other hand, widened her eyes in disbelief.
Even though she, too, was a woman, the sight of the three extremely beautiful ladies before her still seemed unbelievable.
"Mr. Chu, these three are Meng Han, Meng Shuang, and Meng Xue. You can call them Xiaohan, Xiao Shuang, and Xiao Xue. From now on, these three will follow all your orders," said a man with a goatee and in his fifties as he slightly bowed, Chu Mo neither nodded in acknowledgement nor denied.
If the dozens of antiques from before represented the Zhao family's apology, then these three stunning beauties must signify their sincerity.
Chu Mo glanced over the three women, each in turn. Just in terms of beauty, they were no less than the attendants on the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden, and even the most beautiful of them was on a par with Ding Qian. However, all three displayed a wooden expression, devoid of the vivacity typical of most young women.
Returning his gaze, Chu Mo gestured lightly with his hand, and the three peerless beauties bowed slightly before moving to stand behind Chu Mo.
At this point, the middle-aged man with the goatee stepped forward lightly. He came up to Chu Mo, took out a document with great gravity from his sleeve, and placed it on the coffee table beside Chu Mo. The goatee gentleman spoke respectfully,
"Mr. Chu, this is the third grand gift specially prepared for you by our family head. Knowing that you are interested in acquiring high-rise buildings, he has taken the liberty of bringing you the contract for Moon Lake Tower.
As you may be aware, the estimated value of Moon Lake Tower is one hundred and ninety billion. To express our Zhao family's sincerity, the head is willing to sell it to you for one hundred and eighty billion. Please, Mr. Chu, have a look."
As the elder's words fell, Chu Mo's eyes finally showed a touch of emotion. He glanced imperceptibly at the man opposite him and then picked up the contract before him. The various terms were densely written, clear and concise, and the great name of the Zhao family patriarch, Zhao Tianji, was already embedded in the position of Party A.
If Chu Mo signed his name on this contract, Suzhou City's tallest building, Moon Lake Tower, would officially become his, and not only without a premium but at an incredibly low price.
Chu Mo did not believe the Zhao family would use a fake contract under these circumstances. Nevertheless, to be cautious, he passed the contract to Fan Gao behind him.
Fan Gao, as the captain of his bodyguards and also the second in command of the Fan family, was a man of no small stature. Although he was no professional lawyer, he could generally distinguish good from bad after just one read-through of the contract's terms.
Fan Gao read seriously, scrutinizing each term and clause. About fifteen minutes later, he placed the contract before Chu Mo and nodded slightly.
Chu Mo glanced at the contract before him, feeling a faint sense of emotion within. He had authorized Dong Xun'er to acquire this top-ranked high-rise building of Suzhou with an offer of two hundred and ten billion. Despite all her efforts, she had failed, but after his own arrival, the opposite party was readily handing over the contract.
Just then, a series of light footsteps came from the doorway, and moments later, the Zhao family's founding patriarch, Zhao Tianji, finally appeared before him.
Accompanying the old man was the current Family Head, Zhao Ding.
Zhao Tianji, who was eighty-eight this year, had withdrawn from worldly affairs for over a decade. His personal involvement suggested the weight of the matter, as it could affect the survival of the entire Zhao family; a misstep might lead to their ruin in Suzhou City. Naturally, he could no longer sit by idly, which explained his presence now.
Chu Mo did not rise from his seat. He watched the elderly man, calm and composed, as he emerged through the doorway. Although advanced in age and slow in movement, the man's spirit was remarkably strong. Zhao Tianji had once been known as a daredevil in his youth, known for fighting over territories, toppling a dozen hoodlums single-handedly.
It was with such ferocity and bravery that the Zhao family could establish a firm foothold in Suzhou City and grow into the towering tree it was now.
"Mr. Chu, I must confess to my shame, I have been remiss in my parenting, my house discipline lax, allowing a foreign element to blind and beguile.
Regarding Miss Dong's situation, we of the Zhao family indeed were unaware, and as for Sun Mengqi, who disappeared along with her, our family is also sparing no effort to find her. Please rest assured, Mr. Chu, as soon as there is any news, we will be in touch with you immediately," said the hunchbacked elder with an earnest face.
By his side, the current patron of the Zhao family, Zhao Ding, looked on somberly.
The Zhao family's capitulation was within Chu Mo's calculations. The Zhao family's assets totaled only to seven or eight hundred billion, primarily fixed real estate assets, with not much liquid cash. Suppression of the Zhao family would not require much effort on Chu Mo's part. With just a few endorsements from Zhan Bingxue and others, they could easily obliterate the Zhao family in an instant.
