Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The lady's wristwatch, entirely crafted with colored diamonds, shone dazzlingly under the bright overhead lights, and with a value of 1.8 billion, it was called the world's most expensive watch for women, a treasure Chu Mo had acquired only after calling in numerous favors.

Even the wealthy, willing to spend 1.8 billion, could not buy this watch!

Indeed, women are the least resistant to jewels and diamonds, and even Princess Mina Gong, known as the Jewelry Queen, couldn't hide her surprise and delight when she kept admiring the sparkling diamond watch on her wrist.

Seeing the princess's pleasure, Chu Mo gradually relaxed, and with a smile stealing over his face, he said,

"Miss Mina is truly the most beautiful princess in the world!"

Before he had finished speaking, a crisp and pleasant welcome from the greeter echoed through the hall suddenly.

As the only seven-star hotel in the entire Magic City, even though it was late at night, the hotel arranged for staff to greet each and every arriving guest at the entrance.

When rows of sweet-looking charming greeters gave their respectful responses, the hotel's lobby doors opened, and a man and a woman walked in.

Xu Jing, the general manager who had been serving by the side, raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the newcomers, then whispered,

"Mr. Chu, distinguished guests have arrived, I'll go welcome them!"

A hotel, by its very nature, is in the service industry, which essentially involves serving people. Of course, as the most upscale international hotel in Magic City, Tianxiangyuan, those who came calling were none other than the rich and the noble.

Still, even among these honored guests, there was a pecking order, and someone for whom the general manager of Tianxiangyuan personally catered to must undoubtedly belong to the highest echelon.

Chu Mo, as the reclusive tycoon behind the Bafang International Chain Hotel, naturally hoped his hotel would become ever more successful, and he did not impede General Manager Xu Jing's greeting, nodding slightly and then casting a sidelong glance at the man and woman at the entrance.

Once given permission, Xu Jing immediately strode forward. As the most powerful person in Tianxiang Garden aside from Zhan Bingxue, her status was not something the average person could compare with. Dressed in a black uniform dress, she approached with a beaming smile, saying clearly and warmly,

"Welcome Mr. Zhou, your presence brings honor to Tianxiang Garden!

Quick, arrange the most luxurious presidential suite for Mr. Zhou!"

In Xu Jing's enthusiastic greeting, the young man, who appeared to be in his mid-twenties, wore a proud expression.

He was also dressed in an expensive custom-made leisure suit, a piece that alone was probably worth several hundred thousand, and by Mr. Zhou's side followed a petite girl with a lovely face.

The girl was young, in her early twenties, and despite the cold weather at the end of November, she still wore stockings and a short skirt, clearly one who preferred style over warmth.

The petite girl, adorned with jewelry necklaces and Gold ornaments, let her gaze wander until she quickly noticed the table in the center of the hall where Chu Mo and his group were seated.

When the pretty girl caught sight of the watch on Princess Mina's wrist, emitting a strange luster, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly,

"Mr. Zhou, look at that foreign girl's gem watch, it's so pretty! I kind of want one too!"

The handsome young man with a face full of arrogance likewise fixed his gaze on Princess Mina. Since he was facing away from the entrance, he could only see the blonde's elegantly flowing golden hair and her graceful silhouette.

The young man's glance merely swept over Chu Mo, then casually instructed the woman in front of him,

"Manager Xu, order that dish for our table as well, and also, ask that foreign chick: for the watch she's wearing on her hand, I am willing to buy it for ten million!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing, who had been all smiles, turned to glance at Chu Mo behind her. When she noticed the slight arch of Chu Mo's eyebrows, a sudden tremor ran through her, and with great caution, Xu Jing gently said,

"Young Master Zhou, I can arrange for that dish for you. It's a new offering from Tianxiang Garden, named the Emperor Set Menu, crafted by two Michelin five-star chefs at a price of nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand.

However, Miss Mina is our most esteemed guest. The watch she's wearing is a Chopin 210 carats. I hope you would refrain from disturbing her..."

Before Xu Jing, dressed in a black business suit, had finished speaking, the frowning young man took strides towards Chu Mo. Lifting his chin slightly, he spoke with a mocking tone,

"I want to see just what kind of dish costs nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand, and also, if Miss Mina is the most expensive guest, do you think I, Zhou Zeyu, can just be easily fooled?"

The handsome young man brushed past Xu Jing and headed towards the center of the hall. Xu Jing, whose forehead was already beaded with sweat, hurriedly followed a few steps behind while calling out anxiously,

"Young Master Zhou, Young Master Zhou, I am truly sorry. All your expenses tonight will be on the house, would that be acceptable to you..."

"Slap!"

The crisp sound of a slap instantly echoed throughout the entire hall; the young man with an impatient look on his face moved his wrist slightly.

He had used all of his power for that slap, and his entire palm was somewhat numb. He stopped in his tracks and coldly addressed the hotel's general manager, who now bore a clear handprint on his face,

"You ungrateful piece of shit, I gave you face by calling you Manager Xu. Piss me off, and you're no better than a fart. Not just you, even if Zhan Bingxue, the chairman of Bafang International, came in person, she'd still have to obediently follow my words."

Amidst the commotion, Chu Mo had returned to his seat beside Princess Mina. He only cast a casual glance at the young man opposite then withdrew his gaze.

The blonde across from him seemed slightly apologetic as she said softly,

"Chu, if this is because of me, I apologize for the trouble."

Chu Mo dismissed it with a wave of his hand, saying indifferently,

"In the service industry, especially in catering, isn't it expected to have some disputes? Such squabbles probably happen every so often; it's nobody's fault.

"In situations like this, that's when the management is truly put to the test. Not to mention, this General Manager Xu Jing, with a salary of several hundred thousand a month plus bonuses and commissions, makes nearly ten million a year. I'm paying her so much, if she can't even manage this small issue, what use do I have for her?"

Chu Mo's expression was indifferent. He wasn't upset at all about his subordinate getting slapped; instead, as the behind-the-scenes boss, he was rather curious to see how Tianxiangyuan International Hotel, a property he had acquired at great expense, would react in a special situation like this.

If they couldn't handle even this, then Chu Mo really needed to reconsider whether Zhan Bingxue, the chairwoman of Bafang International, had a problem with her ability to pick the right people!
