At that moment, Xu Shan was truly furious.
A Santana as a wedding car?
Who did they think they were looking down on?
He had personally reserved eight top-of-the-line Audi A6s.
This arrangement had been finalized only after several days of discussions with the bride's family.
The main reason was that eight Audi A6s fit perfectly within their budget.
At the same time, it would ensure that the bride wouldn't lose face in front of her relatives and neighbors during the wedding procession.
But now?
The Audi A6s had suddenly disappeared.
And the dealership actually wanted him to replace them with Santanas?
If he really did that, it would be nothing short of a humiliation.
Not only for himself, but also for the bride's family.
Furthermore, he could already imagine how awkward tomorrow's wedding would become.
"No!"
"I specifically told your dealership that these cars were for a wedding!"
"How can you tell me they're unavailable the day before the wedding?"
The customer service representative apologized again.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Xu, but there's really nothing we can do."
"Since you don't wish to use the Santanas, we can only refund your deposit."
"Thank you for your understanding. Have a nice day."
"Goodbye."
The call ended immediately.
Xu Shan was so angry that he slammed his phone onto the table.
However, after venting his frustration, his face became filled with worry.
He let out a long sigh.
At that moment, Lin Mo had just finished paying the bill.
Returning to the table, he asked,
"What's wrong?"
"Don't even mention it."
"There's a problem with tomorrow's wedding convoy."
"The eight Audi A6s I reserved are gone."
"I'm completely stuck right now. How am I supposed to find replacement cars at the last minute?"
"And even if I do find some, the colors probably won't match."
Xu Shan's face was full of helplessness.
"I see."
Lin Mo thought for a moment.
Then he smiled.
"It's fine. Leave the wedding cars to me."
Upon hearing those words, Xu Shan was immediately stunned.
Then he asked cautiously,
"Linzi, are you serious?"
"I need at least eight Audi A6s tomorrow."
Lin Mo merely smiled.
"Don't worry."
"Let me make a phone call first."
As he spoke, he took out his phone.
After finding the contact information, he dialed the number of Zhang Yaohua, the General Manager of Yongda Holdings Group.
Yongda Holdings Group
General Manager's Office
At that moment, Cai Wen, Zhang Yaohua's secretary, was organizing documents.
He was preparing to bring Zhang Yaohua's mobile phone and meeting materials into the conference room.
Three minutes earlier, Zhang Yaohua had convened a meeting of the group's senior executives.
The purpose of the meeting was to announce changes in the company's shareholder structure.
After all, only a few hours ago, a major change had occurred.
Someone had acquired 10% of the company's circulating shares and become one of its largest shareholders.
However, shortly after the meeting began, Zhang Yaohua realized he had forgotten both his phone and several important documents.
As a result, he sent Cai Wen back to retrieve them.
At that very moment, just as Cai Wen was about to leave the office, Zhang Yaohua's phone suddenly rang.
"Huh?"
"An unknown number?"
Cai Wen was surprised.
Normally, the people who called the general manager were company presidents, CEOs, or major executives.
When had an unknown number ever called?
His first instinct was to reject the call.
However, after a moment's thought, he answered it instead.
What if it was something important?
"Hello."
"This is Yongda Holdings Group."
"Mr. Zhang is currently in a meeting."
"I'm his secretary, Cai Wen. How may I help you?"
Lin Mo replied calmly,
"I'd like Mr. Zhang to help me arrange some vehicles."
"I need them as wedding cars tomorrow."
The moment those words left his mouth, Cai Wen's expression changed.
"Excuse me, but you've reached the General Manager of Yongda Holdings Group."
"If you need rental services, please contact the group's customer service hotline."
"We do not handle leasing business here."
With that, Cai Wen decisively hung up.
As he walked toward the conference room, he muttered,
"I have no idea how he got Mr. Zhang's private number."
"And he wants to rent cars directly from the general manager?"
"Who does he think he is?"
Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Lin Mo stared at his phone.
His expression darkened immediately.
"My call was hung up on?"
Xu Shan looked over.
"Linzi, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
"Just wait a minute."
Lin Mo dialed Zhang Yaohua's number once more.
Inside the conference room, Cai Wen entered carrying the documents and mobile phone.
At that point, the meeting had just begun discussing the identity of the new shareholder.
Displayed on every executive's tablet was a brief profile of Lin Mo.
Among the information listed was his phone number.
"Mr. Zhang, your—"
Before Cai Wen could finish speaking, the phone rang again.
He glanced at the screen.
To his surprise, it was the exact same number as before.
Frowning, he immediately hung up again.
Seeing his secretary casually disconnect the call, Zhang Yaohua's expression darkened.
The people who could reach his private number were almost always important individuals.
Yet his secretary had hung up twice without hesitation.
Still, since they were in a meeting, he restrained himself and asked calmly,
"Xiao Cai, what are you doing?"
"You hung up without even answering?"
Hearing this, Cai Wen quickly explained.
"Mr. Zhang, someone somehow got your number."
"He called wanting to rent cars."
"I told him to contact customer service and then hung up."
"Unexpectedly, he called again."
Zhang Yaohua nodded.
His expression softened slightly.
However, a moment later, something felt wrong.
Renting cars?
Calling his private number?
That didn't make sense.
Very few people knew his personal number.
Who would call him directly for something so trivial?
With that thought, Zhang Yaohua unlocked his phone and checked the recent call history.
The moment he saw the incoming number, his pupils contracted sharply.
Then he immediately compared it to the phone number listed on Lin Mo's profile.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
After confirming they were identical, his entire expression changed dramatically.
A surge of panic and anger rose within him.
Without wasting another second, he immediately called back.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo listened to the busy signal coming from his phone.
His face was as dark as storm clouds.
This was the first time he had ever experienced something like this.
The first call had been disconnected after only a single sentence.
The second call had been hung up before he could even speak.
Instantly, anger began to rise within him.
"Very good."
"Very good indeed."
Lin Mo looked at Xu Shan.
"Come with me to the company, Shanzi."
Seeing that Lin Mo's calls had been rejected twice, Xu Shan hesitated.
"How about we just forget it, Linzi?"
"I'll think of another solution."
Just as Lin Mo was about to respond, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID displayed the same number he had been trying to reach moments earlier.
