Crown Group remains a hot topic.
The public's attention to Chen Mo's private life as the leader exceeded Chen Mo's own expectations.
They even have a list of rumored romantic interests.
It circulated quietly online, but thanks to its outrageous details and high level of discussion, it gradually became an open gossip bible.
The rankings on this list have left many insiders both amused and bewildered.
Li Wei and her friends would tease each other from time to time.
The top spot is undoubtedly held by Su Yun. As the CFO of Crown Group, she accompanies Chen Mo to various key occasions year after year. From ringing the bell at the listing ceremony to overseas negotiations, the image of the two standing side by side has long been deeply ingrained in people's minds.
The list describes her as having "the aura of an empress, unshakeable."
When Su Yun accidentally learned about it from Li Wei, she simply rolled her eyes.
Whether she was secretly pleased or not, only she knows.
She never bothered to respond to these gossips, but she tacitly accepted this "recognized" status.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Yan was ranked second.
This iron lady controls two core businesses: Crown mobile phones and trams.
She has always presented herself as a decisive and efficient professional, and has almost no personal interaction with Chen Mo outside of work.
However, the two appeared together too frequently, at press conferences, strategy meetings, and factory visits.
Every time they walked side by side, the media captured and amplified it, and some marketing accounts even imagined a "strong-strong romance in the workplace" scenario.
When Zhou Yan first saw the list, she was approving a supply chain contract worth hundreds of billions of yuan, her finger swiping across the screen.
The comment was: "A cool and aloof older sister, a perfect partner."
She scoffed lightly, "These people really have nothing better to do."
Even so, the page remained open, and a slight heat quietly rose to the tips of my ears.
Even more surprisingly, Su Rong, the chief executive officer of the Crown President's Office, was also on the list.
His ranking even surpassed that of several women who were often by Chen Mo's side.
As the coordinator in charge of the group's core affairs, Su Rong spent more time with Chen Mo than anyone else.
When she saw the label "a gentle and capable wife with potential" next to her name, her heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up in a smile.
During that period, because Su Rong was in a good mood, the entire president's office was relaxed and pleasant.
In contrast, most of Chen Mo's true "insiders" are not even on the list.
Stia devoted herself entirely to scientific research and rarely participated in any public activities except for necessary technical presentations. The outside world knew very little about this blond-haired, blue-eyed scientist.
She didn't care at all, spending her days in the lab researching new technologies. When she occasionally heard related gossip from other people, she would just smile faintly.
There are even fewer Bai Yuqing, Lu Qingqian, and Zeng Shuying.
Although Bai Yuqing occasionally attends events, they are mostly related to art, and she rarely appears in the same frame as Chen Mo.
They deliberately avoided public private interactions with Chen Mo, so much so that they had almost no presence on gossip lists.
Xia Wanqing is the most popular subject of gossip and rumors.
As a top female star, her every move is under the spotlight, and her past interactions with Chen Mo have long been thoroughly investigated by netizens.
Every time she releases a new work, it gets linked to Chen Mo.
The topic of Xia Wanqing and Chen Mo's date frequently trends on social media.
Xia Wanqing was already used to this, and whenever reporters pressed her for answers, she could always laugh and dodge the question.
In fact, everyone around Chen Mo was already used to this.
They were all able to handle it calmly.
Gossip aside, Chen Mo accompanied Zeng Shuying and Lu Qingqian to browse through the artsy bookstore.
This quiet and elegant bookstore, tucked away in an old villa, has wooden bookshelves filled with all kinds of books, and the air is filled with the mixed aroma of coffee and paper.
Zeng Shuying chose a professional book, while Lu Qingqian picked a monograph on educational psychology.
The two women sat in a booth by the window, sunlight streaming through the blinds and falling on the pages of their books; the scene was so peaceful and serene it was almost unbelievable.
Chen Mo, wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled low, sat opposite them to keep them company.
He casually picked up a financial magazine and flipped through a few pages, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted to the two people opposite him.
Zeng Shuying would furrow her brows slightly when reading, and would run her fingertips across the page when she came across a sentence she liked.
The two read for a while, then one went to buy afternoon tea and the other went to the restroom.
Chen Mo was engrossed in the book in his hand.
Not long after, a young woman in a white dress, who looked to be about eighteen years old, hesitated as she walked to the table.
"Hello, excuse me for bothering you, may I sit here?"
Chen Mo was slightly taken aback: "Excuse me, this place is already taken."
The girl looked slightly embarrassed, but still bravely took out her phone: "Can I add you on WeChat?"
Before Chen Mo could speak, he saw Zeng Shuying and Lu Qingqian, who had just returned from the restroom, standing not far away.
The two women not only showed no intention of helping them out, but instead crossed their arms and looked on with amusement.
Zeng Shuying winked at Lu Qingqian, and the two of them suppressed their laughter, waiting to see how Chen Mo would respond.
Chen Mo glanced at them helplessly, then turned to the girl and gently shook his head:
"Sorry. I already have a girlfriend."
As Chen Mo spoke, he raised his finger and pointed to Zeng Shuying and Lu Qingqian, who were watching the show.
The two women's smiles vanished instantly: "..."
