Chapter 290: Chapter 158: Xu Xiyue About to Jump

The more he thought about it, the more he felt Xu Xiyue was a perfect fit for his venture capital firm.

With her special ability to bankrupt every project she invested in, she perfectly matched his philosophy of triggering activations through failure.

It might not trigger an activation every single time, but the probability would be much higher than if he tried to do it himself.

Besides being a natural-born investment jinx, Xu Xiyue was also the vice-director of Sky Dome Capital’s investment team.

She had management experience and skills, as well as some connections in the venture capital world.

Once he brought her over, she could shoulder both management and investment responsibilities.

With Xu Xiyue’s connections, she should be able to find decent people to fill the positions vacated by Old Chen’s people.

’The only question is whether anyone would still be willing to work under her...’

’That could be a problem.’

But it wasn’t a huge problem. As long as Xu Xiyue joined his company, the rest could be sorted out.

’I can just hire people slowly.’

"Why does this feel a bit like Xia Zhu?"

Chen Mo suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Wang Duoyu was desperate for someone to help him lose money.

Xia Zhu was very capable, but she was a "black widow"—every company she joined went bankrupt.

To him, Xu Xiyue was like Xia Zhu to Wang Duoyu.

It was, in a word, a perfect match.

Plus, Xu Xiyue was a great beauty on par with Xia Shiqing, and just as famously well-endowed.

"You’re the one."

Chen Mo had made up his mind. His venture capital firm needed talent exactly like Xu Xiyue.

He opened Sky Dome Capital’s official website and found Xu Xiyue’s personal page.

Sky Dome Capital’s website hadn’t deleted Xu Xiyue’s information yet.

Either her departure paperwork wasn’t finalized, or the rumors weren’t accurate.

Regardless, he had to get his hands on Xu Xiyue while she was at the peak of her bad luck.

He found Xu Xiyue’s email address and sent her an email right away.

The content was simple enough: he introduced himself as the owner of a company and expressed his deep admiration and recognition of her abilities.

He sincerely invited her to join his firm, and so on.

He also left his personal phone number, asking her to call if she was interested.

Chen Mo had also considered calling her directly, but no one in his circle of acquaintances knew Xu Xiyue.

He had no choice but to try sending an email first.

’I’ll just have to see if she replies.’

After sending the email, he started reading the group chat again.

"Look! Sky Dome Capital issued a denial!"

"A denial, huh? Looks like it’s true then. The handover and departure procedures probably just aren’t finalized yet."

"Exactly. These days, an official denial is basically a confirmation."

"Just keep an eye on their official website. When Goddess Xu’s profile page gets deleted, that’s when you’ll know it’s all finalized."

"..."

He saw everyone chatting about Sky Dome Capital’s denial, so he found the statement and took a look.

He laughed after reading it.

The denial wasn’t the least bit convincing. It was probably just as everyone in the chat had said.

The paperwork simply hadn’t been completed yet.

’Her resigning is a good thing. How else could she join my company?’

Chen Mo was in a great mood, the smile never leaving his face.

After watching the chat for a while, it was time to clock off work.

Before long, he heard the electronic chime of the front door unlocking.

He got up and walked to the door, where he soon saw a tall, graceful figure getting ready to swap her shoes for slippers from the cabinet.

She was still in the same professional attire from this morning, with the Hermes bag he’d given her slung over her shoulder and a bag of freshly bought groceries in her hand.

Chen Mo took the groceries from her, set them on the table, and then swept her into his arms.

"Dinner can wait. Let’s get ’cooking’ first."

Chen Mo lowered his head and kissed her tempting, freshly lipsticked lips.

From the time his parents came to Modu last week until today...

...it had been a whole week since he’d been on the racetrack.

He missed the speed and passion of the racetrack.

"Let me change my shoes first..."

A spark of desire lit up Xia Shiqing’s beautiful eyes as she gently patted his shoulder.

She was wearing a pair of black Valentino studded high heels today.

"No need to change. Keep them on."

Chen Mo glanced down, then scooped her up by the waist and spoke with deep meaning.

’How could I let her change out of shoes that are special equipment for accelerating on the racetrack?’

Then, Chen Mo took her onto the long-missed racetrack.

Perhaps it was the boost from the special "racetrack shoes," but Chen Mo felt his speed on the track was much faster today.

The feeling and experience of stepping on the gas was new and exciting, and very good indeed.

...

「The next morning.」

Chen Mo had been slacking off recently, not being very disciplined.

Today, he finally got back to his routine and did about an hour of cardio.

Afterwards, Xia Shiqing went to work, her beautiful eyes still a bit hazy, while Chen Mo tidied up their little love nest.

He had to go to the Carlton after work to "taste Miss Pan’s lipstick," so he decided not to return to his villa to save himself the trip back and forth.

Sitting on the sofa, he checked the order status for the two cars.

The Panamera was currently in transit. There was likely a car in stock with the exact same specifications he had chosen.

The original buyer must have backed out for some reason, so it was redirected to him.

He should be able to pick it up in a few days.

As for the G-Wagon, the status showed it was "in production."

After production was complete, it would be shipped from overseas, which would take a bit longer than the Panamera.

But he wasn’t in a hurry; he had a car to drive now.

Although the Panamera was meant for Shen Qingying, he could still use it whenever he needed.

It wouldn’t be like when his parents came to Modu, and he had to borrow Xia Shiqing’s car.

DING~

Just then, his phone chimed with a new text message.

He opened it and saw it was from the Modu City Administration for Market Regulation.

"Your application for a change in business registration has been processed. You may choose to pick up the new business license in person or have it delivered by mail..."
