Chapter 384: Chapter 185: Transaction Complete, Officially a Shareholder of Chaolu Technology

Chen Mo shot her a surprised glance and played along, giving a nod.

"Minister Xia instructed me to take you to the business department to handle your transaction."

Pan Kejia spoke in a very polite tone, as if she didn’t know Chen Mo at all.

"Alright, thank you for your help."

Chen Mo gave her a teasing look with a smile and nodded.

He understood why Pan Kejia had come to find him.

’So when Xia Shiqing said she was sending someone to help him, she sent Pan Kejia.’

’What a coincidence.’

"This way, please."

Pan Kejia walked ahead, leading the way for Chen Mo.

A faint smile touched his lips as he followed her graceful figure.

Seeing Pan Kejia lead Chen Mo toward the business department, the others in the office couldn’t help but start gossiping.

"That’s a big shot for you. Either Minister Xia receives him personally, or if she’s busy, she arranges for Supervisor Pan to do it."

"Can’t be helped. The man has real clout."

"Didn’t they say Minister Xia and Supervisor Pan don’t get along? Why would she have her receive her own boyfriend?"

"Who said they don’t get along? Last time, during the showdown with Minister Wan, Supervisor Pan even took her side. Maybe they’re actually good friends in private."

"..."

Listening to her colleagues’ gossip, Zheng Xiaoxiao almost burst out laughing at her desk.

She struggled to suppress her laughter until her face turned red.

There were some things the others didn’t know, but she knew them crystal clear.

Xia Shiqing and Pan Kejia really didn’t get along, mainly because Pan Kejia was resentful of Xia Shiqing’s authority.

As for taking sides in the showdown, she knew exactly what that was about.

’Their boyfriends are the same person. When Wan Fang cursed out Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend, wasn’t she also cursing out Pan Kejia’s boyfriend?’

’It’d be strange if Pan Kejia *didn’t* take sides.’

As for the colleague who said Xia Shiqing and Pan Kejia were good friends in private, she was really finding it hard to keep a straight face.

’From a certain point of view, the two of them really are "sisters."’

’But she knew they were "sisters" in a way no one was thinking of.’

...

At that moment, Chen Mo and Pan Kejia arrived at the business department.

"Please help this gentleman transfer all the funds out of his account."

Pan Kejia found the supervisor of the business department and spoke with her.

"Of course. This way, sir."

"Xiaoliu, help this gentleman with his transaction."

The business department supervisor arranged for someone to handle Chen Mo’s business.

After Chen Mo walked away, the business department supervisor immediately grabbed Pan Kejia’s arm, her face full of curiosity. "Our Supervisor Pan, bringing a guy here personally, and such a handsome one at that. He’s not your boyfriend, is he?"

Everyone knew that Pan Kejia had a boyfriend.

She herself had shown off the gifts her boyfriend had given her at the company many times.

"Don’t be ridiculous. He’s Minister Xia’s boyfriend!"

Pan Kejia desperately wanted to nod and admit it, but in the end, she grit her teeth and said it with a sour tone.

’How she wished she could admit it openly.’

’Unfortunately, she couldn’t.’

’Not only could she not admit it, she even had to tell others with her own mouth that Chen Mo was Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend.’

’It was a double blow, and it really hit where it hurt.’

"Oh? I’m so sorry, so sorry."

Hearing this, the business department supervisor froze for a moment, then quickly apologized.

She hadn’t realized that the handsome guy from just now was Minister Xia’s boyfriend.

’But why would Pan Kejia be the one to bring Minister Xia’s boyfriend to handle business?’

"Kejia, when are you going to bring your boyfriend for us to see?"

She immediately changed the subject, asking about Pan Kejia’s boyfriend.

"AHEM... He’s pretty low-key. Maybe some other time, when there’s a chance."

Pan Kejia gave an awkward cough and replied evasively.

’She really wanted to say, "The one you just saw *is* my boyfriend."’

’But alas, she couldn’t say it.’

The two of them chatted for a while before Chen Mo finished his business and came over.

"All done."

Chen Mo nodded at Pan Kejia.

"Thanks. We’ll be going then."

Pan Kejia waved to the business department supervisor and left with Chen Mo.

’Something feels weird.’

The business department supervisor watched Pan Kejia and Chen Mo’s departing figures, a flicker of doubt in her eyes.

She kept feeling that whenever Pan Kejia talked about Minister Xia’s boyfriend, her tone was always a bit sour.

’That shouldn’t be the case, logically speaking.’

But she couldn’t figure out why, so it just felt strange.

...

Chen Mo and Pan Kejia walked through the Xihe Company, but neither of them spoke.

"Supervisor Pan, where’s the stairwell in your company?"

Chen Mo suddenly asked Pan Kejia with a smile.

"It’s over there. Why?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in Pan Kejia’s beautiful eyes.

"Can you take me there?"

Chen Mo smiled faintly.

"Alright."

Pan Kejia didn’t know what Chen Mo was up to, but she obediently led him to the stairwell.

The moment she pushed open the fire escape door, Chen Mo pulled her graceful body into his arms.

"Don’t do this, we’re at the office..."

Held in Chen Mo’s embrace, Pan Kejia’s face paled in fright, and she began to struggle lightly in his arms.

Now she understood why Chen Mo wanted to go to the stairwell. All she could say was that he was incredibly bold.

’He’s really not afraid at all.’

"So you were pretending not to know me, huh?"

Chen Mo gave her perky bottom a punitive pat, then lifted her soft, fair chin to look directly into her enchanting eyes.

"I was afraid of being discovered..."

Pan Kejia didn’t quite dare to meet his gaze, her tone a mixture of grievance and hurt.

’It’s not that she didn’t want to be open about it.’

"Is anyone going to come here?"

Chen Mo whispered in her ear.

"Probably not."

Pan Kejia thought for a moment, then shook her head gently.

Hearing this, Chen Mo leaned in and kissed her alluring, freshly-lipsticked lips.

Once Chen Mo kissed her, Pan Kejia seemed to lose all her fear.

She proactively wrapped her slender arms around Chen Mo’s neck and responded passionately.

’In the office, Chen Mo is Xia Shiqing’s boyfriend.’

’In the stairwell, Chen Mo is hers.’

After a few minutes of kissing, Chen Mo dotingly stroked her head.

"Go home early after work."

Chen Mo planted a kiss on her fair, smooth forehead.

They had already agreed in the car that he would go to her place tonight to spend quality time with her.

"Mm."

A slight flush rose on Pan Kejia’s enchanting face. Her beautiful eyes, soft as water, gazed at Chen Mo as she nodded.

"I’m off."

Chen Mo patted her perky bottom again, then left the stairwell and walked out the main entrance of Xihe Company.

The money from the Xihe account had just been completely transferred to his bank card, totaling 190 million.

Next, he had to go to Citic.

After Chen Mo left, Pan Kejia straightened her clothes.

The blouse she had put on before getting out of the car was now wrinkled, and two of the buttons had been undone at some point.

After tidying herself up, she took a few deep breaths to compose herself before walking out of the stairwell.

"Minister Xia, all the funds from Mr. Chen’s account have been transferred out."

Back in the office, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Xia Shiqing.

"I know, thank you."

Xia Shiqing replied quickly.

’Hmph, I don’t need your thanks. I was helping *my* boyfriend!’

Pan Kejia snorted, put down her phone, and got back to work.

But her mind was already on what would happen after work.

When Chen Mo arrived at Citic, things were much more troublesome than at Xihe.

He didn’t know anyone there, so going through the procedures and paperwork slowly wasted a lot of time.

Fortunately, he managed to finish everything just before the lunch break.

By now, the 290 million from his stock accounts had all been transferred to his bank card.

So, in the afternoon, Chen Mo went to Chaolu Technology and sat down in Lu Mingzhe’s office.

This matter had to be handled sooner rather than later.

The closer it got to the IPO, the more difficult it would be and the more attention it would attract.

There wasn’t much to say about bringing a lawyer along; a transaction involving hundreds of millions naturally required a lawyer’s presence.

"Chen Mo, the company is valued at 30 billion. Your 300 million can buy exactly 1% of the shares."

"If you’re sure you want to buy, then let’s sign the contract."

Lu Mingzhe had already prepared the contract; only the amount and the number of shares needed to be filled in.

The other clauses, such as him exercising voting rights on Chen Mo’s behalf and the shares only being sellable back to him, were already written out.

"Okay."

Chen Mo had also reviewed the contract carefully. Seeing no issues, he signed it.

After signing, Chen Mo chatted with Lu Mingzhe for a bit before leaving.

He went to the bank that afternoon, presented the share purchase agreement, and made the large transfer.

After transferring the 300 million into the account Lu Mingzhe had specified in the contract, the deal was officially complete.

At this moment, he was the true owner of 1% of Chaolu Technology’s shares!

As long as Chaolu Technology went public successfully, this 1% stake would bring him a huge profit of over nine figures!

PS: May’s updates are over. It was a month with a strong start and a weak finish. Including today, it’s about 340,000 characters, so I guess I worked hard. I really couldn’t keep going later on due to not feeling well. I’ll try harder next month.

It’s the last day, so don’t let your monthly tickets go to waste. Happy Dragon Boat Festival, everyone, and eat lots of zongzi!
