Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Just by taking a sip of tea in the VIP room, the time had already reached 8:55 PM. The opening ceremony was scheduled for 9:00 PM. Because he had to host the ceremony, Fan Zhijian excused himself and left.

The grandeur and prestige of Bafang Kelai's opening ceremony were unparalleled throughout the entire Capital City.

Previously, Chu Mo had noticed that nearly half the street was filled with countless onlookers. If it weren't for the hundreds of bodyguards maintaining order, the store would have been trampled through long ago.

Initially, Chu Mo planned to join the guests downstairs for the ribbon-cutting, but seeing the dense crowd gathered around, he discussed with Fan Zhijian for a moment before deciding to abandon that plan.

The number of spectators at the entrance was simply too large, and the guests here were all princes or princesses. If they were to appear collectively, any disturbance could arise, and the bodyguards might not be able to fully protect them. Chu Mo felt he could not bear the responsibility if an accident occurred.

After all, he had invited these people to show the eight major families opposite, and the effect had already been achieved, so there was no need to insist on participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the entrance.

With everything being managed by Fan Zhijian, Chu Mo didn't need to worry. At 9:00 PM sharp, the sound of balloons exploding in a sequence signified that the grand opening of Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store had officially begun.

At this moment, Chu Mo stood up to lead the princes and princesses to the sixteenth floor to view the top-tier jewelry.

The sixteenth floor featured not only more than a dozen world-class treasures provided by the Jewelry Queen Wei'er Mina but also precious collections offered by several jewelers from Capital City.

Everything displayed on the sixteenth floor was worth no less than ten billion RMB.

The pocket watch that Chu Mo took a fancy to before was the cheapest treasure, valued at 1.1 billion RMB.

"This must be the Imperial Crown," said Geng Pan, the heir of the Ross family, his face filled with surprise as he stood before the crown. "I had only heard of it before and never seen it in person. Seeing it today, indeed its reputation is well-deserved!"

The Imperial Crown, symbolizing the lifeline of the entire British Empire, was an absolute treasure. Even on a global scale, few pieces of jewelry could rival it.

Someone once offered 17 billion for it, but the British royal family still refused to sell, which shows its precious value!

Amid Geng Pan's evident joy, several princes and princesses also showed amazed expressions. Even though they were born into wealth, they still felt a sense of awe in front of the crown embellished with thousands of gemstones.

At that moment, as the Jewelry Queen who controlled a quarter of the world's jewelry trade, Wei'er Mina simply smiled slightly. Then, wearing a face of pride, she said:

"This Imperial Crown is the pride of our entire royal family. To borrow the crown from the royal treasury, Meyer and I had to use considerable persuasion, and then we spent a full 10 billion US dollars as a guarantee to smoothly obtain Her Majesty the Queen's agreement."

Hearing this, Chu Mo standing beside her couldn't help but feel moved. In the whole world, there were probably very few people for whom the Princess Mina would go to such lengths. She had indeed put a great deal of effort into ensuring the success of this jewelry exhibition. Chu Mo was sure to remember this kindness.

He nodded slightly to Princess Mina and then said with a serious face,

"Princess, you have gone to great lengths."

As Chu Mo spoke, Princess Sartor Sevalina from behind suddenly stepped forward, her slender finger pointing at the scepter in front studded with a huge gemstone, and said in a sweet voice:

"This is the King's Scepter, isn't it? I've read about this scepter in history books."

This time the guide was no longer the extremely beautiful twin sisters, but the Jewelry Queen Wei'er Mina herself, who began to explain to everyone personally.

Many of the jewels here were from the British royal family, and the vast majority were priceless treasures of incalculable value. Even with the distinguished identities of those present, they were reluctant to leave.

While the group was admiring the exhibition hall's jewels, Zhan Bingxue suddenly came up to Chu Mo. Leaning slightly toward his ear, she reported in a low voice:

"Mr. Chu, Miss Sun Qiuman has already been brought here, but along with Miss Sun, she also has two friends with her... What do you think?" Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

Hearing this, Chu Mo drew a soft breath. It was indeed a good day, and also a Saturday, which meant that the University of Science and Technology would definitely be on break. It was only natural for Sun Qiuman to be with her close girlfriends. If it were any other day, Chu Mo would not have minded the company of additional friends, but today's circumstances were special.

Those being entertained here were either princes or princesses, and whether it be Prince Ben Hesed from Dubai or Prince Avaried from Sartor, all were likely to inherit their respective thrones and become kings of their nations.

As for the heir to the Rothschild family, Geng Pan, he was set to inherit the world's largest Rothschild estate, which meant that security could not be compromised in the slightest.

Chu Mo knew of Sun Qiuman—she was someone that Geng Pan wished to meet. But as for the backgrounds of Sun Qiuman's two best friends...

Though ninety-nine percent likely not to be an issue, there was always that one percent chance!

It was exactly the case of, "Better safe than sorry."

Considering the safety of several important guests, Chu Mo could not afford to be careless. He pondered for a moment, glanced at the distinguished guests currently admiring various jewelry pieces, and after a brief greeting, he walked towards the reception hall with Zhan Bingxue.

Upon arriving at the grand reception hall, Chu Mo immediately noticed three young women who appeared somewhat restrained.

His gaze quickly fell upon Sun Qiuman, who still sported a ponytail. Having not seen her for several months, she remained as pure and lovely as ever.

"Miss Qiuman, I'm sorry to bother you on a rare weekend, but thank you for making the trip," he said.

The ponytailed girl named Sun Qiuman quickly shook her head, her demeanor somewhat cautious. Then, with a serious expression, she said, "It's no problem at all. I've never had the chance to thank you for your care. Thank you so much for the house you arranged for me, Mr. Chu. I really love it."

At her words, Chu Mo slightly raised his eyebrows. After a moment, he suddenly recalled that he had previously instructed Zhan Bingxue to select a house for Sun Qiuman. At the time, it was just to build a relationship with Geng Pan and he hadn't paid much attention to it. As for what kind of house Zhan Bingxue chose, Chu Mo had no idea.

After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Qiuman introduced her friends:

"Mr. Chu, these two are my absolute best girlfriends. We all live together in the Haver International Community. This is Liu Shiyin—you know her."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo nodded slightly to the long-haired woman with a complicated expression across from him. He certainly remembered her; he had once gifted her a Richard Mille Ladies' Watch worth over nineteen million RMB at the Shanghai Financial Tower!

At that time, Chu Mo was very interested in this girl named Liu Shiyin, but her actions later disappointed him, and he had not contacted her since.

After Chu Mo greeted Liu Shiyin, Sun Qiuman continued her introductions:

"This is my closest friend, Xu Shanshan. You had previously made an appointment to have tea together; I don't know if you remember her, Mr. Chu."

On hearing this, Chu Mo looked at the woman in front of him with a hint of confusion.

The woman named Xu Shanshan was roughly one hundred and seventy-four centimeters tall, quite statuesque. She had flowing long hair that cascaded over her shoulders and possessed undeniable beauty.

Seeing Chu Mo's gaze on her, she showed no fear; instead, she took a step forward and extended her hand while her voice rang out clearly, "Hello, my name is Xu Shanshan! I look forward to your guidance!"
