The Capital City
Wang Family Villa
Wang Yingjia listened carefully to his son's report.
After finishing the cigarette in his hand and extinguishing the butt, Wang Yingjia narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke slowly.
"So, that's what Lin Mo said?"
"Yes."
Wang Congcong nodded.
"Interesting. Lin Mo's identity seems to be quite extraordinary..."
A smile appeared on Wang Yingjia's face.
Then he continued,
"Son, you must remember this. Our Wang family is indeed one of the most prominent families in the country. However, that is only what is visible on the surface."
"The waters of Shenhua run very deep. Hidden in the shadows are families that have existed for over a thousand years."
As he spoke, his voice carried an icy seriousness.
Wang Congcong nodded respectfully.
"I understand, Father."
"Good. Then remember this as well."
"Someone like Lin Mo is absolutely not someone we should provoke."
"Since he has no intention of seizing power, we should find a way to befriend him instead."
Wang Congcong fell into thought before speaking.
"If we're talking about building a friendship, I do have an idea."
"The program I participated in this time was The Magic Show. During the competition, they discovered that Lin Mo had a female companion who won the championship in the drama performance category."
"She also qualified for an audition in Director Chen Kai's new film."
"So, how about Tianhe Group invests in that movie?"
"The lead actor and lead actress have only been tentatively confirmed. The remaining roles are still in the audition stage."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yingjia nodded.
"Very well. If that's the case, let's invest 100 million yuan first."
"Yes."
Wang Congcong immediately nodded.
However, after a moment of thought, he added,
"By the way, Dad, it seems that Mr. Lin and Mu Nanzhi have a rather unusual relationship."
"Mu Nanzhi?"
Wang Yingjia was momentarily stunned.
"She's the eldest daughter of the Mu family in Shanghai."
"The Mu family of Shanghai?"
A look of surprise appeared on Wang Yingjia's face.
Then the corners of his mouth curled upward.
"Interesting..."
"If I remember correctly, the relationship between the Shanghai Mu family and the Jiangsu Mu family isn't very good."
"If Mr. Lin and Miss Mu of Shanghai are indeed close..."
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"You should stay out of this matter for the time being."
"Yes..."
Wang Congcong nodded.
Afterward, he began contacting Director Chen Kai.
Upon hearing Tianhe Group's intention to invest—and the amount involved—a delighted smile immediately appeared on Chen Kai's face.
After all, 100 million yuan was an enormous investment for his film.
When Wang Congcong presented his request, Chen Kai readily agreed.
After all, it was only a matter of adding one character.
When filming began, he could simply assign her a supporting role.
A third female lead in exchange for an investment of 100 million yuan?
That was absolutely worth it.
However, Chen Kai secretly engraved the name "Xie Yumo" into his memory.
After all, someone capable of securing a 100-million-yuan investment from Tianhe Group was definitely not someone to offend.
Unfortunately, Lin Mo knew nothing about what the Wang family had done behind the scenes.
At that moment, he was exercising in the gym.
After finishing his workout at 11:30 PM, he took a shower and went to bed.
One night passed quietly.
Early the next morning, Lin Mo woke up unusually early.
After checking his phone, he noticed several unread WeChat messages.
"Hmm?"
One of them was from his university classmate, Xu Shan.
"Xu Shan?"
Lin Mo was slightly surprised.
Xu Shan had always been one of his closest friends.
Back in college, they had shared a dormitory room.
Xu Shan was loyal, dependable, and righteous.
Moreover, both of them were from Anhui Province, which made their friendship even stronger.
Lin Mo still remembered an incident during college.
While playing basketball, he had gotten into a conflict with someone.
Without hesitation, Xu Shan stood up for him.
However, after graduation, work and life gradually pulled them apart.
They had slowly lost contact.
"So why is he messaging me today?"
Curious, Lin Mo tapped on Xu Shan's voice message.
Xu Shan's excited voice immediately rang out.
"Linzi! I'm getting married tomorrow! Are you free to be my best man?"
Lin Mo froze for a moment.
Getting married?
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
If he remembered correctly, Qin Feier's best friend was also getting married tomorrow.
Could tomorrow be some particularly auspicious day?
Not dwelling on it, Lin Mo smiled and replied.
"Of course! I'll be your best man tomorrow."
"But you're getting married and didn't tell me in advance?"
"How about we meet up for lunch today?"
Less than thirty seconds after the message was sent, Xu Shan replied.
"Sounds good! Let's meet at our usual place at noon?"
"Okay!"
The so-called "usual place" was a small stir-fry restaurant near the entrance of Lin Mo's university.
Because both of them were from Anhui Province, they initially struggled to adapt to the local Shanghai cuisine.
Fortunately, they found a small restaurant near the school that specialized in Lu'an-style stir-fried dishes.
Not only was the food authentic, but it also reminded them of home.
As a result, they often ate there together.
Over time, the little restaurant became their regular gathering spot.
After graduation, however, Lin Mo had not visited the restaurant for nearly a year.
Even now, he still missed it from time to time.
"Hmm... let's check the app first and see if there are any updates."
Muttering to himself, Lin Mo opened the Trillion-Dollar Subsidy app.
[Yongda Holding Group — 10% Equity Share]
[Subsidized Price: 77 RMB]
"Huh?"
"What kind of company is this?"
Lin Mo felt somewhat puzzled.
"Yongda Holdings?"
Despite his confusion, he immediately purchased the item.
The delivery time for Yongda Holding Group's equity transfer was listed as thirty minutes.
Afterward, he quickly searched for information about the company online.
Only then did he finally understand the true nature of Yongda Holding Group.
