42: Chapter 42 Golden Eagle Award

Im Yoon-ah stayed in the private villa in Modu for five days.

It wasn't that Chen Mo wouldn't let her go; it was that her popularity in Long Country was too high right now. If she stepped out, she would be immediately surrounded and it would be too troublesome.

When the five days were up, Chen Mo had people send her safely back to South Korea.

As soon as she stepped through the dormitory door, her eight teammates rushed up with a 'whoosh,' all speaking at once out of concern.

"Yoon-ah, you're finally back!"

"During these days... you weren't mistreated, were you?"

"That President Chen... how did he treat you?"

Their faces were filled with apprehension. They all knew that Yoon-ah had been sent over by the company as an 'apology gift,' and their minds had already jumped to the worst conclusions.

Im Yoon-ah felt like crying and laughing at their scrutiny. She waved her hand:

"I'm fine, really fine. Don't overthink it."

"Fine?"

One teammate leaned in to examine her and suddenly froze.

"Yoon-ah, why do you look even better than when you left? Your complexion is glowing, and you can't hide your smile!"

The others nodded in agreement, finding her appearance increasingly unusual.

Another person with sharp eyes immediately fixed on the bag on her shoulder and gasped:

"This bag... isn't this a globally limited edition? The real one costs 100 million Korean Won! None of us could bear to buy one!"

Im Yoon-ah then slapped her forehead:

"I almost forgot, I brought you gifts."

She pulled open her suitcase, and as soon as it was open, everyone instantly froze in place.

The suitcase was neatly stacked full of luxury bags, all unopened limited editions, each accompanied by a counter appraisal certificate, glittering brightly.

"Oh my god..."

"Yoon-ah, did you strike it rich?"

"All of these... were given to you by that President Chen?"

The teammates were all dumbfounded. Although their group was popular, after splitting among nine people and the company taking a commission, they didn't get much in hand.

The combined value of these bags was equivalent to one or two years of income for any one of them.

"Mhm, he gave them to me."

Im Yoon-ah said lightly, omitting any extra details.

She knew clearly that she belonged to Chen Mo now, and it was best to stop there; saying more would only cause trouble.

But the calmer she was, the more curious her teammates became.

"By the way, Yoon-ah, just how rich is that President Chen? Is he even more formidable than our country's top tycoons?"

They couldn't find Chen Mo's real information on foreign websites; it was all smeared and blocked. They knew almost nothing about this Long Country tycoon.

Im Yoon-ah thought for a moment and said seriously:

"I don't know the exact amount, but his Tianxing Technology is not smaller in scale than Samsung."

Teammates: "????"

"He said Tianxing Technology's monthly profit is about tens of billions of RMB."

Im Yoon-ah paused and converted it into terms they could understand:

"That's about seven trillion Korean Won a month."

"And the entire company belongs to him alone, 100% of the shares."

The dormitory fell silent for three seconds, then exploded in the next moment.

"Se-seven trillion? A month?"

"The entire company is his own?"

"Yoon-ah, you're not dreaming, are you!"

Im Yoon-ah ignored their shock and pulled out a black-gold bank card from her bag:

"And this, a card from the Long Country Dragon Bank. My monthly allowance is ten million RMB, which is about 1.75 billion Korean Won."

"Boom—"

The group completely lost it and rushed forward to pin Yoon-ah onto the sofa.

"Im Yoon-ah! You're deliberately showing off, aren't you!"

"I don't care, you have to introduce President Chen to me!"

"Is President Chen still looking for friends? If not, a... little sister would work too!"

As they were making a ruckus, there was a knock on the door from outside.

When they opened it, it was the Vice President of SM, wearing a smile even more fawning than a manager's, holding a document with both hands.

"Miss Lin, you've returned. This is the share transfer agreement. Please sign it. Starting today, you are the second-largest shareholder of our SM Company."

The entire dormitory instantly became quiet enough to hear a pin drop. The eight teammates were collectively petrified, forgetting even to breathe.

While Im Yoon-ah soared to success in South Korea, Chen Mo's days in Modu remained extraordinarily relaxed.

With Zhang Kai, Wu Dongju, and Wu Xue overseeing the company, specific matters never required his attention. Coupled with the artificial intelligence enhanced by the supercomputer, the entire Tianxing Technology operated more smoothly than a machine.

In the high-end mobile phone, computer, and tablet market, Tianxing Technology held a dominant position. Apple and Samsung couldn't sell well at prices above three thousand yuan, while low-end phones were carved up by the major domestic brands.

In the takeout industry, Tianxing Takeout was pushing Meituan back step by step; the general situation was settled.

The League of Legends S2 World Championship concluded, with Prince Wang's IG winning the championship six years early. Three Long Country teams all reached the top eight, and the popularity of League of Heroes soared to new heights.

The monthly system lottery sounded right on time.

"Ding, this month's lottery chances have been refreshed. Do you wish to begin the lottery?"

"Begin."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining—Grandmaster Level Material Science."

Chen Mo glanced at the panel. His skill bar gained another entry, perfectly complementing the previous Grandmaster Level Manufacturing.

He directly listed a long string of experimental equipment and handed it to Zhang Kai:

"Procure these as soon as possible and install them in the secret laboratory at the Tianxing Industrial Base."

Just as he finished arranging things, he saw the internet suddenly explode.

"Holy crap! President Chen is nominated for the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor?"

"That drama, diamond lover, was good, but President Chen just plays around with acting!"

"Is the Golden Eagle Award blatantly trying to ride his coattails for traffic?"

"Have they no shame just for the views?"

Netizens argued fiercely, everyone betting:

A tycoon of Chen Mo's status would absolutely not attend the awards ceremony.

But they didn't know that Chen Mo had already agreed.

Wu Dongju, while helping him organize his bespoke suit, couldn't help but ask:

"Are you really going? Isn't this kind of event boring for you?"

Chen Mo smiled:

"They even had leaders come out to plead for me; I have to give face."

Wu Dongju pouted, not believing it at all.

She knew very well that their boss wasn't giving face; it was clearly for the sake of the female celebrities on the red carpet, enough for him to look at.

But she didn't dare expose it, so she just quietly helped him prepare his attire.

In the evening, Chen Mo didn't drive the well-known Bugatti. Instead, he switched to a Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SV, a car he rarely drove, and drove it to the Golden Eagle Awards venue. Then he transferred to an extended Lincoln arranged by the organizers and met up with the cast of diamond lover.

Tianxing Live broadcasted the entire event online. As soon as the livestream room opened, the number of viewers immediately broke ten million, with so many bullet comments that the screen was obscured.

"President Chen is finally making his grand finale appearance!"

"Who else in the entire venue has more prestige than President Chen?"

"Those entertainment company bosses are just grandsons in front of President Chen!"

The Lincoln smoothly stopped at the entrance of the red carpet.

The car door opened, and Deng Chao and Hu Ge stepped out first.

These two were now top-tier male stars in Long Country, almost unmatched among the younger generation. But at this moment, the two stood on either side of the car door, backs ramrod straight, acting exactly like two personal doormen, waiting for the person inside the car to alight.

The livestream room instantly exploded:

"66666! Top-tier stars acting as doormen!"

"This level of prestige is unique in the domestic entertainment industry!"

"Only President Chen has the qualifications to make Deng Chao and Hu Ge stand by the car door!"

Immediately following them, three stunning figures stepped out of the car, dazzling the entire audience:

Yang Mi, Dilraba Dilmurat, and Xiao Xue.

The three top beauties shared the frame, each with a distinct style, their beauty maxed out, making the red carpet lights seem three shades brighter.

The livestream bullet comments instantly flooded the screen:

"I'm done for! Three great beauties accompanying President Chen on the red carpet!"

"President Chen is the real winner in life, isn't he?"

"This isn't an awards ceremony; this is President Chen appearing with his harem group!"
