Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Princess Mina departed Modu by a connecting flight at 7:30 in the morning.

The original departure time was supposed to be seven o'clock, but the cooperation with the Fan brothers delayed it by half an hour.

After a night of contemplation, Fan Zhijian and Fan Gao decided to get involved in the jewelry industry of Modu. Contrary to Chu Mo's prediction, Fan Zhijian invested a total of twenty-eight billion in funds.

That is to say, apart from the fifteen billion in cash that Chu Mo spent on purchasing An Tianxia Security Company, the Fan brothers themselves also contributed thirteen billion. This time, they seemed to have truly emptied their entire family fortune, ready to make a big move.

Originally, Chu Mo estimated that Fan Zhijian might invest twenty billion, but since the latter ended up investing twenty-eight billion, it must have been with a do-or-die attitude. In that case, Chu Mo was not stingy either.

Knowing that they were up against the eight great families, the Fan brothers still believed in themselves, and naturally, Chu Mo would offer them his utmost support.

Similarly, Chu Mo originally planned to lend a hundred billion to the Fan family for capital turnover. This time, he gave them a direct investment of two hundred and twenty billion, rounding it up to a total of five hundred billion.

With this, the Fan family became the family that contributed the most to the entire jewelry alliance, second only to Chu Mo.

If all five hundred billion in funds were to be used against the Lin family of Modu, even if Lin Youzhi's assets exceeded three hundred billion and he had a large enterprise, it would still be a substantial blow.

The firm allegiance of Fan Zhijian made Chu Mo intend to support him in supplanting the Lin family, making the Fan family the top family in Modu.

After all, Chu Mo's ultimate goal was certainly not limited to conquering the small Modu. Overcoming Modu was only the first stage of his objectives, which he had now achieved. He was now working towards the second stage, aiming to conquer the whole of Hua Country.

Naturally, at this time, personally supporting the Fan family as the representative of Modu could perhaps provide him with significant assistance in the future.

After Princess Mina had left on her connecting flight, Chu Mo enjoyed breakfast on the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden, and given that he had no pressing plans afterward, he allowed himself a rare moment of relaxation.

The breakfast at Tianxiang Garden was specially prepared for him by a five-star chef. Unlike the sumptuous spread of eighteen courses prepared by the chef at Emperor's Pavilion, the Michelin five-star chef arranged a simple breakfast of just four dishes for him.

However, the taste was comfortably delicate. Having exerted a great deal of energy last night, he needed to replenish his strength. He devoured all four exquisite dishes in one go, only then letting out a long, contented sigh.

The only female attendant on the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden, a woman named Dong Qing, served quietly by his side. Compared to the other attendants, she was neither as proactive as Zi Yi nor as mature and enchanting as Qiu Shui. In terms of appearance, she fell slightly short of Liang Bing and was not as considerate as Xia Xue!

Overall, she was a woman who didn't vie for attention, lacked cunning, and preferred a quiet life.

Dong Qing, dressed in a purple cheongsam, exuded an elegantly beautiful aura, reminiscent of Zhang Caicai from Capital Art Academy whom Chu Mo had met before.

Having once painted for Chu Mo and Zhou Yuanyuan at the observation deck on the 125th floor of Jinmao Mansion in her antique attire, Zhang Caicai carried with her a scholarly charm. Dong Qing before him also possessed this calming and soothing quality.

After finishing breakfast, Chu Mo took a napkin handed to him by the cheongsam-clad woman. He gently wiped the corners of his mouth, stood up from the dining table, and casually said,

"You're called Dong Qing, aren't you? Besides serving as a female attendant on the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden, what else do you do in your free time?"

The woman in the purple cheongsam bowed respectfully, her expression calm like still water as she replied,

"Mr. Chu, I enjoy playing the guqin in my spare time. When there's nothing pressing, I like to play quietly by myself. If you're interested, Mr. Chu, I could play a piece for you."

Chu Mo just curved the corners of his mouth slightly. He waved his hand lightly, saying casually,

"Playing for someone like me, who lacks the slightest sense of art, would truly be casting pearls before swine. I won't listen today, but when there's an opportunity some other day, I'll enjoy your music then!"

"Being able to perform for Mr. Chu is my honor!"

The woman in the cheongsam still had a respectful look on her face as she bowed, her bright eyes filled with indifference, as if although her body was here, her soul was entirely elsewhere.

Chu Mo walked to a floor-to-ceiling window, standing on the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden. Through the huge window in front of him, he could see the nascent sunrise slowly enlightening the whole earth. The golden sunlight sprinkled on his face gave him a feeling as warm as spring.

In reality, it was already December, and the weather forecast had predicted rain mixed with snow in three days!

He suddenly found himself anticipating whether this heavy snow would cloak the entire city in a layer of white frost.

Standing in front of the window, quietly appreciating the scenery below, the entire city was waking up from its slumber, eventually becoming bustling with vehicles and swarming with people.

He didn't know how long had passed when his gaze suddenly stopped on a storefront in the distant street.

Supreme Jewelry Mall!

It was the flagship store among the hundreds of jewelry stores owned by the Lin family.

Chu Mo lifted his wrist to check the time—it was ten o'clock five minutes past. If he went to this store now, perhaps he could have lunch with Lin Youzhi by noon.

After all, the Lin family was the leader of the four major clans in Magic Capital, with assets of over three hundred billion. Lin Youzhi initially agreed to cooperate with him, and the reason he later betrayed him was the conspiracy of the eight major clans.

If he could communicate with him and pull the Lin family back to his side, he could save himself a lot of trouble, at least not having to worry about dealing with them.

Chu Mo knew that if he went directly to the Lin family now, he definitely couldn't evade the watch of the eight clans. In that case, going directly to the Lin family's jewelry store for a secret meeting with Lin Youzhi was much safer.

After all, with the Lin family owning hundreds of jewelry stores, the eight clans, no matter how powerful, couldn't possibly plant spies in each and every one.

Having made up his mind, he no longer intended to delay. Just as he turned to leave, the woman in the cheongsam immediately said respectfully,

"Mr. Chu, please take care!"

As the crisp voice rang in his ear, Chu Mo suddenly turned his head to look at the woman in the cheongsam behind him. It occurred to him that since he was going to the jewelry store, being a conspicuous man, having a woman to accompany him would seem quite natural.

He wasted no words, gesturing to her while speaking in a flat tone,

"Come out with me, I have something I need you to do later!"

Upon hearing this, the cheongsam woman's previously calm face showed a hint of surprise for the first time.

Seeing the serious look on Chu Mo's face, she immediately guessed he must indeed have an urgent matter he needed her to attend to.

Not daring to delay, the cheongsam woman slightly nodded and immediately agreed,

"Okay, Mr. Chu, just order whatever you need!"
