Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The Heart of the King ruby, encrusted with a 407-carat diamond, suddenly hit the floor, and the crisp sound of the diamond falling could be heard clearly by everyone. In just an instant, the entire three-story exhibition hall fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

At this moment, the eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on the few people at the very center. Sun Mengqi, a top saleswoman with a 95-percent rating for her beauty, had turned deathly pale, as if she had just plummeted from heaven into hell. Her eyes were vacant, and even the vitality seemed to drain from her.

The middle-aged socialite who had been standing close by subconsciously stepped back two paces, as if fearing any association with the incident. The possessively graceful woman's complexion also shifted several times.

The composed middle-aged man who had been attentively following the development of the situation from the perimeter took his first hurried breath.

Whether it was at the door to meet Chu Mo or escorting him later, he had conducted himself with neither cringing nor arrogance, steadfast as a rock.

But at this moment, as the supervising manager of the prestigious jewelry store, when such an incident occurred in his jurisdiction, especially when it involved a guest like Mr.

Chu from the Magic City, and the jewel in question was the store's treasure worth 330 million… what had been a minor accident suddenly escalated to a problematic situation, so much so that even he felt at a loss on where to begin.

In the silent instant, Dong Qing, standing beside Chu Mo in a purple cheongsam, exuding quiet elegance, had eyes that remained clear.

As the person closest to Chu Mo and fully focused on the jewelry, Dong Qing had seen clearly how Mr. Chu's fingers trembled when he took hold of the jewelry, and then, the moment the saleslady opposite let go, the man in front of her withdrew his hands simultaneously, causing the Heart of the King to plunge to the ground!

Dong Qing was eighty percent certain that the man before her had intentionally dropped the jewelry onto the floor!

As for the reason, and why someone as famous as Mr. Chu throughout the Magic City would do such a thing, she had no idea at the moment.

However, when her gaze fell on the delicate and beautiful saleslady opposite her, a bold guess arose in her mind.

Perhaps Mr. Chu did this exactly to win this lady's affection?

He created the incident firsthand and then would resolve it with a fearless attitude. The beautiful lady in front of him would surely be boundlessly grateful, and even offering herself in return wouldn't be too great a price!

After all, that was a piece of jewelry worth 330 million. Even if there was only minor damage, plus the unlucky circumstance of it hitting the ground, it might never attract interest again.

This saleslady might not have such an easy time in the future.

And just when Dong Qing thought Mr. Chu in front of her would say something to comfort the saleslady, she suddenly noticed that his cheeks stiffened, and his voice, devoid of emotion, said:

"Call your manager over!"

With those indifferent words, as the eyes of the saleswoman opposite him reddened, the middle-aged store manager immediately hurried over!

He had no intention of ascertaining who was right or wrong. In this matter, all he could do was bow his head.

The middle-aged manager, who had been neither servile nor overbearing and commanded an air of elegance, now bowed deeply, bending almost ninety degrees, and said with full apology:

"Mr. Chu, everything was mishandled by us, and I will personally take care of your reception going forward! Please show leniency, Mr. Chu!"

It was just like last night at Tianxiang Garden, even though Zhou Tianfang, the young master of the Zhou family, was clearly the one causing trouble, even though he slapped Tianxiang Garden's general manager Xu Jing with a resounding slap, everyone still had to greet this young master of the Zhou family with a smile!

That's the service a prestigious establishment should offer; regardless of whether the guest is right or wrong, the guest is always the king!

It's precisely because Tianxiang Garden achieved this that it became the best hotel in the entire city.

Similarly, the Supreme Jewelry store I'm currently in is also the best jewelry store in the whole city. With such a reputation, their service is naturally impeccable.

The middle-aged man in front of me, capable of managing the flagship store of Supreme Jewelry, which spans over three thousand square meters, naturally wouldn't have an ordinary status. Although he's not a direct descendant of the Lin family, he still holds a place in the eyes of the Lin family head, Lin Youzhi; that's why he can behave neither servile nor overbearing even when facing Chu Mo.

However, now that an incident has occurred in the store, he is also taking responsibility at the first opportunity.

Just like the emergency response plan at Tianxiang Garden, once such an incident occurs, the jewelry store would immediately apologize.

But unlike the incident that happened at Tianxiang Garden last night, the one who stirred up trouble last night was just an upstart young master from the Zhou family, while the person dealing with the incident was the real power broker behind Tianxiang Garden.

At this moment, at the Supreme Jewelry store, the troublemaker is no longer an inconsequential second or third generation, but a behind-the-scenes boss who controls the Bafang International Chain Hotel worth hundreds of billions, the Shi Yuan Entertainment company with a scale of nearly one hundred billion, a detective agency worth several tens of billions, and the trillion-scale Longevity Club.

Even though Chu Mo in front of me is young, in terms of status, even if the heads of the city's four great families came in person, they'd have to bow their heads.

Similarly, the middle-aged man in front of me is just the manager of the Supreme Jewelry store; his status and position can only be showcased within this store, impressively before the dozens of store employees, but the moment he steps outside this store, no one would recognize who he is!

The severe power imbalance between the two parties left him with absolutely no courage or confidence to question anything, even though he clearly saw that it was Chu Mo who purposely dropped the jewelry, he could only swallow his anger and would not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction or insolence!

In the middle of the jewelry store manager's deep bow, the unmoved Chu Mo didn't even spare him a glance, his voice still cold as he said:

"Don't you understand human speech? What I want is for the person capable of handling this matter to come over personally; you're not qualified enough!"

As Chu Mo's indifferent words fell, he was about to turn and head to the nearby rest area to wait when the gold-medal female sales associate in front of him, her eyes red and her vision blurred, suddenly bowed her head and whispered chokingly:

"It's not my fault... I clearly already handed the jewelry to the customer... If you don't believe it, you can check the surveillance...!"

As she finished speaking, Chu Mo slightly narrowed his eyes, and in an instant, a chilling atmosphere immediately enveloped the entire hall. Amid the slight trembling of the middle-aged man's body opposite him, Chu Mo spoke for the first time in a cold voice:

"Are you implying... that this is my fault?"

The detached voice instantly spread throughout the hall, and at that moment, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to drop sharply!

And within this chill, the middle-aged steward bending over at a ninety-degree angle had sweat pouring down his forehead.
