Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The woman on the stage, in a garment of snow-white, frosted silk, had broad sleeves adorned with a bewitching, vivid red pattern resembling clouds.

Her long, silvery hair danced chaotically in the wind, her flawless face stunningly handsome, and her silver eyes resembled a serene river under the moonlight—cool and profound.

The woman approached gracefully, a crescent of deep red between her brows, her otherworldly beauty carrying an air of nobility and defiant pride. Her calm, mysterious gaze showed no ripple of emotion, like twin lakes of eternal ice.

She came to the center of the stage and bowed deeply to the only two audience members below. In that instant, tranquil music began to play.

The woman in white, pivoting on her right foot, elegantly unfurled her sleeves and began to spin, faster and faster, until suddenly she seemed to fly up from the ground.

A dozen beautiful dancers formed a ring around her, waving their hands, and dozens of blue ribbons rose lightly into the air, creating waves of blue on the stage. The girl, floating above them, lightly touched the ribbons with her feet, her clothes billowing like a Heavenly Immortal descending from the heavens, breathtakingly beautiful.

And at that moment, a burst of astonishment and applause erupted beside Chu Mo, who turned his head just in time to see the young blond man by his side, his face full of admiration.

"Mr. Chu, this lady would be called a Heavenly Immortal descending to earth in your Hua Country, wouldn't she?"

Chu Mo smiled without a word, his gaze turning back to the stage where Ding Qian was, his eyes filled with both amazement and a complex expression.

This girl possessed a dreamlike beauty that could ensnare people's hearts, a single glance from her holding the power to make countless men fall. However, she clearly hadn't stepped out of the ivory tower of campus life yet, and she hadn't truly understood the gap between reality and dreams.

Originally, Chu Mo had thought she should continue refining her craft at Shi Yuan Entertainment for a while, but unexpectedly, she appeared before him in this way.

However, since she could stand on this stage, it at least meant she had changed, right?

The heart-stirring music gradually subsided, and as the sprite-like girl on the stage slowly took her bow, the young blond man beside her suddenly stood up. He didn't hold back his words of praise, nodding continuously and clapping enthusiastically:

"Mr. Chu, the dance of Hua Country is truly exquisite."

As the curtain on the stage fell, the two men sat back down, and as the sound of a flute rose, another act took to the stage.

Chu Mo, who had stayed by the young man's side, watched and conversed with him from time to time, and both appeared relaxed and at ease in each other's company.

After an indeterminate amount of time, when the final act ended and Zhan Bingxue reappeared by their side, the deferential and enthusiastic female CEO spoke:

"Mr. Chu, Mr. Geng Pan, the hotel's chef has prepared a sumptuous dinner for the two of you."

Just as Chu Mo was about to invite the young man beside him to join, the scion of the Ross family suddenly said:

"Mr. Chu, I must confess, this is my fourth time in Hua Country, but on earlier visits, my schedule was entirely full. Whenever I visited a place, even meal times were strictly regulated.

During my first three visits, I never had the chance to truly experience the cultural highlights of Hua Country. This time, Mr. Chu, you must take me out, allow me to see the sights. I've had my fill of delicacies from the hotel. What do you say we try some of Hua Country's signature street snacks instead?"

Chu Mo hesitated for only two seconds before he chuckled and nodded:

"That's true. You probably have had enough of caviar and Australian lobsters, Mr. Geng Pan. Since that's the case, I'll invite you to try some signature snacks from Hua Country. You might not be used to stinky tofu, but you should try the Chongqing noodles, Guilin rice noodles, Sichuan dumplings, sweet soup balls or the glutinous rice balls from the magic capital."

As he finished speaking, the tall young man beside him showed keen interest:

"Just the names alone are more mouthwatering than any steak or shrimp dishes, Mr. Chu. I'll leave today's plans in your hands."

Geng Pan, standing at one hundred and ninety centimeters with golden hair and blue eyes, had a tall and straight figure.

The one meter eighty-two tall Chu Mo had every hair meticulously styled; he wore a casual suit with custom-made shoes, and his gold-rimmed glasses gave him an air of elegant gentility.

Walking shoulder to shoulder, the two truly had the presence of a celebrity boy band.

Approaching the private elevator, Zhan Bingxue immediately pressed the button for them. Then, the polite company chairwoman stood behind the two men. As the doors opened, Chu Mo turned slightly to address her: Experience tales at empire

"Inform Jiang Tao to pay attention to security."

Standing beside him, Zhan Bingxue nodded respectfully. Once Chu Mo and the blond man had disappeared from view, her expression changed instantly. She quickly took out her phone and dialed a number. A ring sounded, and someone answered the call immediately.

"Change of plans. The big boss and the guest want to go to the street food area for dinner, so immediately arrange for protection. Remember, tell the bodyguards not to follow too closely, as we don't want to disturb the guests' pleasure."

Zhan Bingxue spoke at a rapid pace.

The express elevator could reach the ground floor in just thirty seconds, and from the ground floor to the hotel's main entrance took no more than one minute. There was no time for dawdling.

"Understood."

Jiang Tao on the other end was succinct. After murmuring his understanding, he immediately hung up.

With the plans disrupted, most of the bodyguards who had been concentrated on or above the eightieth floor, protecting Chu Mo and the guest during their dinner, now needed to be reorganized with the new instructions from Chu Mo.

On the 86th floor, within the garden-themed hall, including the host Lin Ling'er, there stood over thirty female attendants, each with a facial attractiveness score of over ninety, respectfully waiting at the elevator's entrance.

Each of them was dressed to the nines with exquisite makeup applied to their stunning faces, and every attendant wore the sweetest, most charming smile on her cheeks.

However, what they were waiting for was not guests arriving via the elevator but a phone call from Jiang Tao.

In a corner of the garden hall, the two-meter-tall Jiang Tao ended the call and immediately dialed another number. After two rings, the party on the other end picked up. With a serious expression on his face, Jiang Tao, while walking towards the service elevator, said coldly,

"Activate the contingency plan."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he quickly reached the elevator, pressed the down button, and waited. Abruptly, a slightly cold female voice came from beside him.

"What's happening?"

Jiang Tao turned his head to glance at the young woman behind him, who was said to be the Lin family's young mistress, and after a slight hesitation, he softly replied,

"There's been a change of plans, the big boss wants to take the guests out for dining."

The service elevator took only fifty seconds to reach the 86th floor. As Jiang Tao's tall figure vanished before them, Lin Ling'er, slightly frowning, let out a soft sigh. The young mistress of the Lin family wore a pensive expression, but in the face of those two top-tier young masters, she felt helpless.

All her preparations over the past two days had been wasted because of Chu Mo's last-minute decision.

Chu Mo naturally didn't care about Lin Ling'er's thoughts. When he and the Ross family's heir arrived at the first-floor lobby in the elevator, it seemed somewhat more spacious than before.

However, the four receptionists at the front desk and the eight welcoming ladies at the entrance were all still there.

Clearly, none of them had anticipated that the big boss and his guests would return so soon, and there was a brief moment of surprise on everyone's faces. However, in an instant, their professional training took over, and they all respectfully bowed and greeted them.

"Magic City is the largest city in Hua Country. Here you can taste special delicacies from all over the country. It's now half-past five, I'll take Mr. Geng Pan to the food street near the University of Science and Technology. There we can find various street snacks, and the female university students are also quite a sight."

As Chu Mo spoke with a smile, the blond young man beside him also displayed a look of curiosity and longing.

As an heir of the Ross family, he held special affection for Hua Country, having visited when he was very young.

But back then, he was with his family's diplomatic mission, and their itinerary was strictly scheduled. The most he saw was the city skyline from behind the glass windows of their car.

Now, finally having the chance to explore the streets and alleys of Hua Country, this was a novel and exciting experience for the Ross family's heir, who was accustomed to having everything planned to the letter.

As the two reached the hotel's main entrance, the eight welcoming ladies bowed in unison, and Fang Lihu, towering at two meters and thirty centimeters, had just finished a phone call.

He strode over to Chu Mo's side and, with a respectful bow, said in a firm voice,

"Mr. Chu."

Chu Mo nodded slightly. He eyed the Red Flag car parked in front of the hotel's entrance, feeling a tinge of excitement at the prospect of trying it out.

"We're going to the food street near the University of Science and Technology," he declared.

"Understood," Fang Lihu responded.

Taking two quick steps forward, Fang Lihu opened the car door for them. Chu Mo casually examined this Red Flag car that held a different meaning in Hua Country. In the past, he had only seen such cars on TV, but now he was seeing one in person for the first time.

Seeing that he had the rare opportunity to experience it, Chu Mo thought about getting one for himself. Although buying this car required certain status, with Chu Mo's current identity and position, getting one wouldn't be much of a problem.

Of course, the main point was how comfortable the ride was. If it wasn't comfortable, Chu Mo would prefer to ride in his own Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Chu Mo settled into the back seat of the Red Flag with a spark of interest in his eyes, and the 1.9-meter-tall blond young man sat beside him.

The car was spacious, making sitting with two people feel anything but crowded.

With Jiang Tao absent, Fang Lihu took the passenger's seat, becoming the highest person in charge of the convoy. Picking up the walkie-talkie, he spoke with a steady voice,

"University of Science and Technology Town, let's go."

The lead car at the very front of the convoy started off slowly. As a row of ten luxurious Red Flag cars drove onto the main road one after another, the vehicles behind automatically stopped to give way, without a single car honking in a rush.

Even when a convertible sports car worth millions thundered towards them from behind, the young driver relaxed his foot on the accelerator upon seeing the long convoy ahead, with no intention of causing himself any trouble.

With ten Red Flags leading the way, and dozens of multimillion-dollar luxury cars following behind, the fleet drove unhurriedly through the streets of Magic City. Looking out the window, Chu Mo saw many people along the street pointing and commenting at the convoy.

He leaned back in the soft and comfortable car seat, a hint of satisfaction playing at the corners of his eyes.

This was indeed the kind of presence befitting great personages.
