You have to understand, is there any country nowadays that can live without energy?
There are plenty of countries lining up to work with Yin Enterprises, you know?
After being mocked by Charles Yin, Max Mo quickly regained his composure!
He truly is the most outstanding of the Mo Family's generation; he quickly grasped the situation before him.
Charles Yin is acting so fearless!
Sure, he'll work with the Mo Family, but how that cooperation happens is a whole different story!
Max Mo, with his military and political background, naturally stands out among the crowd.
So, Max Mo developed a habit—no matter who he's working with, he always takes a high and mighty attitude.
He acts the same way with the Yin Family.
But he forgot one thing.
Charles Yin isn't afraid of him at all.
Or rather, Yin Enterprises isn't afraid of him!
Even if Max Mo is incredibly powerful, he can only control a small part of the world—he can't cover everything.
Besides, the foundation of Yin Enterprises isn't even domestic. If the Yin Family feels like it, they'll play along; if not, they can pack up and make waves overseas anytime!
When that happens, won't the Mo Family just be left staring helplessly?
Most importantly, the Mo Family can't reach Newport City or Summerville.
To put it bluntly, this is Charles Yin's territory!
If Max Mo offends Charles Yin, do you think the leaders of Newport City or Summerville would stand for it?
Would those higher-ups stand for it?
So even if he has to swallow his pride, Max Mo has to put on a smile and bear it!
Once he quickly figured this out, Max Mo felt another wave of frustration in his chest.
He'd never lost before in his life, and he'd never met a true rival.
But with Charles Yin, he took a real fall.
He really is someone who can make waves in Europe, Africa, and Asia!
Seeing that Max Mo seemed to have come to terms with it, Charles Yin didn't waste words. He swept the contract off the table onto the floor and slapped a new one down.
Charles Yin went full force, looking at Max Mo with a confident smile: "That contract was a mess, so I gave my assistant a serious scolding! This contract is the real deal today. So, Mr. Mo, are you ready to work with me?"
At this point, what could Max Mo say?
Charles Yin had already calculated all his options and blocked every possible way out!
He had no choice but to cooperate.
Max Mo couldn't help but sigh and said, "People say I'm the business king who can go toe-to-toe with you, but now I realize how ridiculous that is... But Charles Yin, my trump cards aren't just these few. You should know that, right? A person needs to know when to stop!"
Otherwise, I won't mind chopping off a few of your arms!
Charles Yin immediately laughed.
Not only did he cut off one of Max Mo's arms last night, this morning he chopped off a little tail—he threw money at buying out one of Max Mo's subsidiaries back home.
Charles Yin just wanted Max Mo to understand—the Yin Family can afford to do whatever they want!
Max Mo took a deep breath, said nothing more, and opened the contract on the table, reading it carefully from start to finish.
Compared to the previous one, this contract was much better, but a lot of the terms were still extremely harsh!
Max Mo frowned and said, "Since we're being honest now, shouldn't we renegotiate the split?"
"There's nothing to renegotiate," Charles Yin refused flatly. "Mr. Mo should know just how severe the energy shortage is in this country. Being shortsighted isn't your style."
Max Mo clenched his teeth.
He'd never felt so stifled in his life!
If Nora Yun saw this scene, she'd definitely give Max Mo a sympathetic pat on the shoulder.
Don't worry, bro, you're not the only one. Seriously, my boss hasn't beaten Charles Yin even once over the years.
If you feel bitter about just this one loss, my boss has been frustrated his whole life.
He's never managed to get out from under Charles Yin's thumb...
Charles Yin spoke up, seemingly offhand: "I heard the northwest is interested in energy too..."
Charles Yin left it at that—the rest didn't need to be said, the other side would get the message.
Sure enough, Max Mo's expression changed dramatically!
The northwest is also an energy hub!
Charles Yin knew he'd pretty much finished his task for today. He stretched and said, "The weather's getting cooler! I heard your hometown is spring all year round, Mr. Mo?"
Max Mo's eyes flickered a few times before he managed to suppress his anger and replied, "President Yin, you're truly extraordinary! This contract is just too important. I can't give you an answer right away—I need to call a shareholders' meeting before making a decision."
Charles Yin made a casual gesture as if to say, go ahead.
Max Mo clenched his teeth again.
They're both supposed to be the rising stars and hopes of their families. Comparing them is fine, but at this moment, Max Mo suddenly understood how Zhou Yu must've felt!
If only Zhou Yu was born, why was Zhuge Liang born too!
In the meeting room, the two of them 'happily' agreed to cooperate. Cecilia Gu made a round and finally unlocked all the equipment in Zone 1.
Oh my god, who made up these rules?
You even have to sign it in person!
Nora Yun didn't seem to care and said, "Don't bother, I bet we won't be here for long anyway."
Huh? What do you mean?
With that ridiculous contract Charles Yin offered, there's no way Max Mo will sign it!
Hopefully those two won't end up fighting while I'm gone.
Honestly, both of them have pretty good-looking faces. If they scratch each other up...
Cecilia Gu's imagination was already running wild and not looking back...
Cecilia Gu said to Nora Yun, "Alright, I can't keep you company. I need to hurry back! For this cooperation, I've read a ton of books and case studies—I can't miss such a great hands-on opportunity! I’m heading over now!"
Before Nora Yun could call her back, Cecilia Gu had already dashed off.
(This chapter isn't over yet ^.^ Please click next page to continue reading!)
Nora Yun really understands Charles Yin.
Of course she knew why Charles Yin deliberately sent Cecilia Gu away.
It's just that this woman seems a little too confident.
As soon as Cecilia Gu returned to the meeting room, she realized the atmosphere was weirdly harmonious!
Oh my god, with such a terrible contract, how could Max Mo still be smiling so happily?
Is he really from the Mo Family?
Just watching Charles Yin scam him like this?
This makes no sense!
As soon as Cecilia Gu walked in, Charles Yin quickly looked up.
Cecilia Gu was worried they'd start fighting, so she ran over, her cheeks flushed and breathing a little heavy.
Looking at Cecilia Gu, Charles Yin couldn't help but remember that night—she had the same look on her face when she was with him.
As soon as he thought of that, Charles Yin snapped back to reality—Max Mo was still right there!
Cecilia Gu's beautiful side definitely couldn't be shown to Max Mo.
Charles Yin strode over and used his fingers to tidy Cecilia Gu's stray hair, his body blocking Max Mo's view.
Seeing Charles Yin suddenly act so gentle with her, Cecilia Gu felt a little flustered inside.
Charles Yin, what are you even doing?
I finally managed to suppress all my feelings for you, and now you come over and tease me again—what's your deal?
Aren't you still hung up on Lydia Lin? Go flirt with her!
Yeah, I admit I was pretty clueless a few days ago.
Even dared to hope I could get closer to you.
You already made it clear with your actions that I should give up, and I did exactly what you wanted. So what more do you want from me?
That night... let's just pretend it was a dream!
We're all adults here. There's nothing we can't handle.
Charles Yin saw the impatience in Cecilia Gu's eyes and his gaze darkened.
Does she really like Max Mo that much?
Or is it just because he looks so much like Yun Nuo, so she can't help but like Max Mo too?
Just thinking about Cecilia Gu smiling so sweetly at Max Mo made Charles Yin burn with anger.
He suddenly tugged hard, making Cecilia Gu yelp quietly, "Hey, what's your problem? Why are you pulling my hair?"
Charles Yin snapped back to himself—he hadn't controlled his strength and had actually pulled out a strand of her hair.
"I wasn't paying attention. Here, you can pull my hair instead." Charles Yin bowed his head for Cecilia Gu to tug his hair.
Watching Charles Yin and Cecilia Gu shamelessly flaunt their affection, all the single people present were practically blinded.
Cecilia Gu met Charles Yin's teasing gaze and felt completely undone.
Charles Yin... is he seducing me?
"Ahem..." Max Mo finally couldn't take it anymore.
Even though Max Mo knew Cecilia Gu wasn't Yun Nuo, the resemblance was just too strong.
Max Mo really couldn't just stay indifferent.
When Charles Yin heard Max Mo finally speak up, a look of 'just as expected' flashed in his eyes.
Charles Yin had figured out Max Mo's attitude toward Cecilia Gu and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Looks like the lesson wasn't enough...
Cecilia Gu finally slapped Charles Yin's hand away and whispered, "About that contract..."
"It's none of your business, stay out of it." Charles Yin said quickly, "Cecilia Gu, you'd better put away those thoughts you shouldn't have! I don't mind reminding you of your responsibilities again!"
Hearing Charles Yin's irresponsible words, Cecilia Gu's face turned bright red with frustration!
Having achieved his goal for the day, Max Mo didn't feel like staying any longer.
But as he was leaving, Max Mo looked at Cecilia Gu meaningfully and said, "I heard Miss Gu likes to grow flowers. Coincidentally, I just bought a villa with a garden full of wild blooms. In a few days, I'll be hosting a flower-viewing party there. If you don't mind, I'd love for you to join us."
Sure enough, Cecilia Gu quickly looked over at Charles Yin.
Max Mo immediately added, "I'll be sending invitations to both of you."
Charles Yin smiled ambiguously, "With an invitation from President Mo, how could we possibly not attend?"
With Charles Yin speaking up, Cecilia Gu had no choice but to go along. "Of course."
