My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 75

To think that Su Qixi was so pure and cute before! Now, “sleeping with me” is something she says all the time.

Lin Mo felt a sense of shame, as if she had led a child astray. For a moment, she even forgot to reply to the message.

Seeing that Lin Mo suddenly stopped replying, Su Qixi fiercely sent a video call.

The call’s music sounded in the room, pulling Lin Mo’s mind back. She checked the time: 6 p.m. The live stream should have ended by then.

Lin Mo answered the video call, and soon, the image from the other side appeared. Su Qixi was still on the first floor, sitting at the small square table by the window.

The sky outside the window was already very dark. Although the live stream was off, the recording was still in progress. Therefore, Zhou Ping could still be vaguely seen filming in the distance.

From the phone, Zhuo Zitou’s voice could be faintly heard shouting, “Qiu Mingyi, add water!!!”

“Okay, my wife!”

It looked like they were making dinner.

Su Qixi was currently right in front of the camera. As expected of the universally recognized “divine beauty” in the entertainment industry, her features were still exquisite even at this awkward angle.

In the video, Su Qixi was pouting, frowning, and glaring at Lin Mo’s side, as if she wanted to see Lin Mo’s current surroundings clearly.

Lin Mo smiled and asked her, “What’s wrong?”

Su Qixi: “Where are you?”

Lin Mo: “A hotel in Haishi.”

Su Qixi took a breath. “Why are you there?”

Lin Mo: “I’m on a business trip!”

Su Qixi: “…” What kind of business trip? Weren’t you just fired?

Seeing that Lin Mo didn’t say the reason, Su Qixi didn’t press her. Instead, she asked, “Why didn’t you text me all day?”

Lin Mo: “I was afraid you were filming and I’d disturb you.”

When Su Qixi heard this, she frowned, feeling wronged. “Why are you being so formal? Lin Mo, if there’s anything you need help with, you can tell me!”

But Lin Mo shook her head. “I don’t need it for now. You just need to take good care of yourself.”

It was always like this.

Su Qixi felt a pang of disappointment. She looked at Lin Mo and saw that she was still the same. Her face always had a calm smile, and her whole body exuded a gentle, polite, and humble aura.

But as a partner, when she was facing such a huge problem, she shouldn’t face it like this. She could show her vulnerability to her, and let herself protect her.

But Lin Mo always seemed to treat her like a child.

The disappointment in Su Qixi’s heart wasn’t shown on her face. She wanted to wait for Lin Mo to figure it out herself. At this moment, the sound of a door opening came from the phone, and a sweet female voice suddenly sounded. “Boss, I bought you a bento box!!! My treat tonight!!!”

Lin Mo turned to look in one direction. Her smile hadn’t faded, and the helplessness in her eyes for Su Qixi was still there.

Su Qixi immediately said angrily, “You traitor?”

Actually, how could Su Qixi not trust Lin Mo? She was just angry! Rather than relying on her, Lin Mo would rather find someone else than discuss it with her.

The girl who just came in probably knew more about Lin Mo’s situation than she did, right?

Did Lin Mo think she couldn’t help? Did she think she was useless?

Lin Mo was being wronged. She just wanted to handle things on her own. But the sudden accusation of being a traitor still left her stunned. “Huh?” Traitor?

Before Lin Mo could react, Liu Nuannuan expertly leaned over and explained, “Boss’s wife, don’t be mad! I work for the boss. I’m an employee.”

Lin Mo: “Huh?”

Liu Nuannuan sighed and reached out to pat Lin Mo’s shoulder. “Boss, you’re a blockhead when it comes to relationships. The boss’s wife is jealous, can’t you tell? Go and comfort her quickly.”

Jealous? Of what?

Lin Mo shook her head. “No. You’re not my type! I like someone like Xiaoxi.”

With just this one sentence, Su Qixi was appeased. Her face flushed, and she looked at Lin Mo with a little more happiness.

Liu Nuannuan saw this and thought, beautiful! She giggled. “I got to see a real star.” With that, she turned to Lin Mo and shouted, “Boss, when are you going to take me to see the boss’s wife!!!”

Lin Mo waved her hand. “Go eat.”

Liu Nuannuan immediately stood up in disgust, looked at Lin Mo, and grumbled, “When you wanted me, you were so gentle. Now you don’t need me, and you look so disgusted.”

Su Qixi: “…”

After Liu Nuannuan ran behind Lin Mo and hid behind her with the bento box, eating noisily, Lin Mo shook her head and asked Su Qixi, “Xiaoxi, is your filming going well?”

Su Qixi looked around and saw everyone was busy with their own things. She also looked at Zhao Lin, who had just joined. And after Yimei’er came in, she often played chess with Yun Yue.

It seemed that everything was going well for everyone.

But Su Qixi didn’t feel it was going well. She had only been living with Lin Mo for less than 20 days, but she had gotten used to it.

So, after Lin Mo left yesterday afternoon, even though Yimei’er told her to rest well.

But after she woke up this morning and came downstairs, she saw everyone busy, and there were 7 or 8 people coming and going, but Lin Mo wasn’t there.

Lin Mo wouldn’t be there now, and she wouldn’t be there in the future.

This realization made Su Qixi a little sad, to the point that she made frequent mistakes during filming today.

But Su Qixi still nodded. “It’s going well.”

Lin Mo nodded. “Good. There are only a few days left until you finish filming, right? I’ll come pick you up then.”

Su Qixi nodded hard. “Okay.”

After they hung up the video call, Su Qixi immediately put her head down on the table, feeling dejected. Yimei’er, who was behind her, held a chess piece and said with a sneer, “What’s wrong? You’re dejected after only one day apart? Do you have any backbone?”

Su Qixi sat up and looked at her. Then she said, “I’ll remember this. When you fall in love, hmph.”

Yimei’er also scoffed. “Please.” She pressed a chess piece firmly onto the board, making a crisp sound. She said with a strong voice, “Don’t compare me to you, you love-brain.”

She gave a cold laugh. “You’re no match for me…”

As she said that, her eyes fell on Yun Yue across from her, who was staring at her with wide eyes, both bewildered and ashamed.

After all, in her relationship with Qi Youxuan, she was also a total love-brain!

Yimei’er felt guilty under her gaze and could only weakly explain, “…I wasn’t talking about you.”

On Lin Mo’s side, after hanging up with Su Qixi, she explained the client she was going to meet tomorrow to Liu Nuannuan.

After Liu Nuannuan sent the card number to Zhang Yin as Lin Mo had instructed, Zhang Yin soon sent the location and time of their meeting the next day.

Lin Mo kept her promise and transferred three months’ worth of salary to Liu Nuannuan. She also gave her an additional 10,000 yuan as a bonus, making it a total of 100,000 yuan. Liu Nuannuan was so happy that she couldn’t sleep well all night.

The next day, the weather in Haishi was clear. There were no clouds, and the sky was blue. Lin Mo changed into a business suit and took Liu Nuannuan to the meeting.

Zhang Yin’s mother was named Zhang Rongyi. She grew up in a family where she was unloved by her father and mother. Perhaps because of this, she was especially starved for love.

Her ex-boyfriend was able to trick her into running away with him with little effort.

They never got married, and she gave birth to his child. In the end, he ran away. Zhang Rongyi was a ruthless woman. Not only did she raise her child alone, but she also started her own company.

She was not only ruthless, but she was also capable. Her company grew bigger and bigger, and she became the CEO of a major corporation.

Now that Zhang Yin was grown up, Zhang Rongyi was also working hard to train her and educate her to be her successor.

Zhang Rongyi naturally took Zhang Yin’s first attempt at a business seriously. She also looked at the company Zhang Yin had chosen. She also looked at the information from all over and found that Hua Xi had been losing a lot of money during that time.

However, Hua Xi was being blocked by several companies, so it was normal for them to have some difficulties. But an old brand company that had been around for so many years shouldn’t go under!

But Lin Mo was as if she had a third eye. She predicted that Hua Xi would go bankrupt, and so it did.

How could Zhang Rongyi not be interested in someone like that? That’s why she had Zhang Yin invite Lin Mo to meet.

She scheduled the meeting at a high-end restaurant on the sea. When Lin Mo arrived, someone was there to greet her at the door. The service at the high-end restaurant was naturally excellent. Although the people were surprised for a moment when they saw Lin Mo, that emotion was quickly hidden.

The person in charge of greeting them led Lin Mo to the private room where Zhang Rongyi was.

He knocked on the door, opened it gently, looked at Zhang Rongyi, and made sure she didn’t show any signs of not wanting them to enter. Only then did he say to Lin Mo, “This way, please.”

Lin Mo and Liu Nuannuan nodded at him and entered the room.

The room was very spacious, consisting of three small rooms. One room had a large round table that could seat about 15 people. Another was for singing and relaxing.

And the last one was the tea room where Zhang Rongyi and Zhang Yin were seated. The two of them were sitting on one side, and Zhang Rongyi was skillfully making tea.

Having been in the business world for many years, her presence alone was enough to make people feel intimidated even if she didn’t say a word.

Lin Mo and Liu Nuannuan sat down opposite her. Zhang Rongyi curled her lips into a smile and placed the teacups in front of them. She looked up. The signs of time around her eyes didn’t diminish her beauty.

Seeing Lin Mo, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “How do you know Yinyin?”

Lin Mo didn’t hide anything and said directly, “I was staking her out at a coffee shop.”

Zhang Yin stood up abruptly and said, “I knew you were staking me out! Tell me, how did you know I would be there?”

Lin Mo gave a faint smile. “I have my own ways, but don’t worry, Ms. Zhang, I didn’t want to hurt Miss Yinyin. You should know my situation. I’m in debt! I just wanted to make a small profit.”

Zhang Rongyi pulled Zhang Yin down to sit, and Zhang Yin could only shut up, feeling resentful.

Zhang Rongyi then looked at Lin Mo and continued to ask, “How did you see through the Hua Xi situation?”

Liu Nuannuan shamelessly pushed a thick stack of documents in front of Zhang Rongyi and said mysteriously, “My boss did a lot of research before daring to make that bet.”

Zhang Rongyi frowned, picked up the documents, and looked through them. Zhang Yin also frowned, looking confused, trying to get a clear look at Liu Nuannuan. Liu Nuannuan just kept her head down and tried to hide behind Lin Mo.

Zhang Rongyi was shocked as she read. From this document, it was clear that most of the information Lin Mo knew was what Hua Xi had made public.

But there were also some more hidden details, such as employee turnover, the CEO going from not showing up for a year to coming to work every day recently, the human resources department being idle, and other small things that Lin Mo had found out through some channels.

Finally, there was a detailed analysis of the new CEO’s personal style and reputation.

This document almost perfectly explained the problems of Hua Xi over the years.

If everything was truly done by Lin Mo, her talent was extremely high.

Although Zhang Rongyi had already approved of Lin Mo in her heart, she still looked up at Lin Mo and asked, “You were able to infer all this with just the information you found outside?”

Lin Mo looked at the woman in front of her calmly and said, “If I didn’t have this ability, how would I dare to come and see you?”

Zhang Rongyi didn’t answer her right away. She looked at the document and fell into deep thought. But in the end, she decided to take a gamble. She asked Lin Mo, “What can you bring me?”

This person had good judgment, able to see Hua Xi’s problems at a glance.

She had courage, daring to directly find Zhang Yin as a breakthrough.

She had guts, betting her entire fortune with Zhang Yin.

Of course, she also had some cleverness. She didn’t have a fortune; she had a pile of debts.

But, she now needed a talent to develop her business overseas. It wasn’t that she didn’t have people. She had interviewed many people and had recommendations from long-time veterans. But Zhang Rongyi always felt that to expand overseas, she needed a more powerful leader.

When Lin Mo heard this question, she knew she had a deal. “I heard you’re planning to develop the overseas market.”

Zhang Rongyi nodded. “What do you think?”

Lin Mo: “Are you interested in a gambling agreement?”

Zhang Rongyi: “…”

Lin Mo smiled slightly. “I can guarantee that your company’s market value will double in the overseas market within three years.”

Zhang Rongyi: “What do you want?”

Lin Mo looked up at her and said calmly, “A portion of the overseas market profits.”

“Heh.” Zhang Rongyi laughed, looking at her in disbelief. “What do you have to ask me for that? I can give you a high salary, and that’s already generous.”

In response, Lin Mo dropped a bombshell. “I just invested 500 million yuan in the stock market. You’ll see the results soon.”

Zhang Rongyi was so angry she laughed. “…You’ve tricked quite a few fools like Zhang Yin!”

Lin Mo: “After all, to meet the people behind them, I have to show my sincerity first. I’m showing you my talent. Of course, it’s a business transaction. I’m not going to work for you as a simple employee. My salary will be based on the market’s profit.”

Before leaving, she added another line. “You can think about it. The net profit will double. Even if my share is taken out, you’ll still have twice the original net profit. How is that a loss?”

Zhang Rongyi frowned tightly. It was clear that she hadn’t made up her mind yet.

But Lin Mo’s message was very clear.

“What if you don’t make the money you say you will?” Zhang Rongyi asked.

Lin Mo: “Then I won’t take a single cent of my share. I’ll give you back Zhang Yin’s five million yuan, and I’ll work for you for free for ten years.”

Ten years? Zhang Rongyi was shocked. She’s really daring to bet!

But if Lin Mo was truly a talent, let alone working for free for ten years, even working for money for ten years wouldn’t be a loss.

After all, with the Hua Xi incident, there were some clues. But the stock market was a game that required skill.

“Okay.” Zhang Rongyi also stood up and said, “As long as the money you invested in the stock market triples, the general manager of my overseas division will be you.”

Lin Mo also stood up and shook hands with Zhang Rongyi. “Then, after I succeed, we’ll talk in detail?”

Zhang Rongyi nodded. “Deal.” Then she got up and left with Zhang Yin.
