Trillionaire's Slice of Life

After his indifferent words fell, he didn't rush to ask for the other party's answer, but gave them ample time to consider. Previously, Chu Mo had only told Zhan Bingxue to handle communications with Sun Qiuman; however, Sun Qiuman was also an introverted girl. After initially accepting a house from Zhan Bingxue, she never took the initiative to contact her after that, and even if she genuinely encountered any trouble, the girl would resolve it herself and never seek help. But today, after witnessing Geng Pan's attitude towards Sun Qiuman, Chu Mo knew that he should increase his investment in her. Geng Pan's chances of inheriting the Ross family fortune had become very likely, and this heir seemed to have special feelings for Sun Qiuman. As for why he hadn't taken Sun Qiuman to America, Chu Mo guessed that he was probably afraid she would become a target for other heirs to attack. Out of the desire to protect her, he let Sun Qiuman stay in Hua Country. Once he had power, that girl named Sun Qiuman would likely rise quickly in status. At that moment, his investment would welcome a lucrative return. This was the reason why Chu Mo didn't hesitate to win over the girl named Xu Shanshan in front of him. The radiant Xu Shanshan bit her red lips, a conflicted expression in her eyes. Clearly, at this moment her heart was torn. A minor decision she now made could change her entire future. Under such circumstances, it was inevitable for her to hesitate. Chu Mo didn't urge her but quietly waited for her choice. When he had finished the red wine in his hand, the young girl named Xu Shanshan seemed to have finally made up her mind. After taking a deep breath, the girl with a stunningly beautiful face said, "I agree to your request! However, I have a condition, and that is, no matter what happens in the future, I want to report directly to you, Brother Chu!" Chu Mo nodded, a smile playing on his lips as he said, "It's a pleasure to work together!" As the two clinked glasses, the deal was done. Afterward, the girl asked to leave, and Chu Mo escorted her to the door. As Chu Mo was about to close the door, Xu Shanshan in the corridor suddenly said, "Brother Chu, why didn't you... ask me to stay? You know I would agree to anything if you just asked!" Chu Mo looked at the girl, her face slightly flushed, and with a slight smile curving his lips, he calmly said, "Don't be foolish, focus on your studies!" With those words, Chu Mo didn't give her a chance to respond and promptly shut the door! Although Xu Shanshan was tall and attractive, with quite high beauty standards that to ordinary guys she would surely be goddess-tier, for Chu Mo, surrounded by women who could bring a kingdom to its knees with their beauty, Xu Shanshan's score of ninety-three wasn't high enough. Moreover, her previous behavior had been too forward, which made Chu Mo somewhat resistant deep inside. Even though he was well aware of her interest, that with a single look or gesture from him she would comply with anything, Chu Mo still didn't do it. Once back in the living room, Chu Mo approached the large floor-to-ceiling window. At that moment, he suddenly had a thought. As time passed and as his status grew while his world expanded, his standards for women were also continually rising! He remembered that not long ago, someone had asked him whether he preferred a woman with an interesting soul or one with an incredibly beautiful face. At that time, Chu Mo had chosen beauty, for his experience at that point had been limited, and he had not yet been tempered by many beautiful women. But now, after six months, if asked the same question again, he might choose the former. This small shift wasn't substantial, but it indeed signified a real change in Chu Mo. Standing in front of the window, admiring the afternoon splendor of the metropolis, Chu Mo then went to the bathroom to freshen up. Afterward, he opened the door and headed towards the elevator. Fang Lihu's tall figure immediately appeared. Chu Mo casually ordered, "To the coffee shop at Sunshine Residence!" Upon hearing this, Fang Lihu promptly used the walkie-talkie to get in touch with the car team downstairs. One minute later, Chu Mo took the high-speed elevator down to the first-floor lobby, where a dozen bodyguards were already waiting for him. Today, Tianxiang Garden is hosting several princes and princesses, so the entire garden is closed to the public, with every employee focused on serving these royal guests. Chu Mo, escorted by a dozen bodyguards and greeted by dozens of servers, strode out of the spacious and luxurious lobby. A line of vehicles quietly awaited him outside the door. Tianxiang Garden was in a state of high security; at least dozens, nearly a hundred, black-suited bodyguards stood guard around the perimeter. He settled comfortably into the back seat of a spacious Mercedes-Maybach. As the doors of the convoy closed one by one, twenty professional bodyguards entered their respective cars. Then, including two Hongqi vehicles, a total of six luxurious cars slowly drove onto the main road ahead! The city was bathed in sunshine today. Chu Mo cast aside the numerous things on his mind, and with a light breath, he felt much more relaxed. Twenty minutes later, the convoy pulled up to a café. Chu Mo stepped out of the Maybach and instructed Fang Lihu, who was by his side: "Park the cars nearby; you don't need to follow me in. Just stay alert in the vicinity, and I'll call you if I need anything!" Fang Lihu immediately nodded in acknowledgment. Chu Mo then straightened his collar and leisurely walked toward the café! "... Ink merges with water, painting a pond of blue flowers, Gathering a touch of rosy clouds, bamboo in hand, heading home, The lingering breeze blankets the ground with mulberries and hemp, ..." He had barely stepped through the café's entrance when a melodious and soothing tune reached his ears, and Chu Mo, who had been rather expressionless, paused, momentarily transfixed. It wasn't until the waitstaff greeted him with soft voices that he managed to shake off the familiar sensation. He looked around, and when he saw his favorite spot by the window was occupied, he regretfully chose a seat further inside the hall. This café was where he often frequented in the past. Before he obtained the unlimited credit card, he would spend a few days each month sitting by the window, alone with a cup of coffee and an old notebook, writing all day long. Now, with plenty of money at his disposal and writing no longer a daily necessity, he had become much more relaxed. His previous daily production of one article had gradually decreased to one every three days, then five days, until now, he couldn't even recall when his last piece was written. Sitting down at an empty table near the inner part of the hall, Chu Mo casually ordered a cappuccino and waited quietly. He had just contacted his good friend Li Fei to meet at this café. Li Fei's hesitation had concerned Chu Mo, who couldn't let go of this friend. Knowing Li Fei as he did, Chu Mo felt that his friend wouldn't be so reticent unless he had encountered a particularly difficult issue. Chu Mo was determined to find out what was bothering Li Fei, which is why he had arranged this meeting. "... Rows of peach blossoms in the prime of marriage, Pearls from a phoenix crown weaved into her hair, A touch of sandalwood breezes over jade bracelets, lifting light gauze, ..." The song still beautifully resonated by his side, and Chu Mo suddenly found the voice oddly familiar. He listened carefully and soon realized that the song playing in the café must be Ding Qian's. Ding Qian's voice was distinctive, sweet, like the sound of cotton candy. Two months ago, at the Magic City racetrack, Chu Mo ordered Qin Zixuan to stop punishing Ding Qian. He also directed Qin Zixuan to divert the company's resources to favor Ding Qian. With her unrivaled beauty and Shi Yuan Entertainment's full support, Ding Qian was no longer the small-time trainee she once was but had become a famous singer known in every street and alley. A fleeting image of Ding Qian's stunning beauty crossed Chu Mo's mind. Smiling slightly, he picked up his phone, suddenly realizing it had been quite a while since he had contacted that girl, Ding Qian!
