Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Bro, I really want to thank you this time, my wife and I have discussed it, and she still prefers to go to America to see that island. I have never fulfilled Xiao Hui's wishes before, so this time, I plan to listen to her...!" The voice coming from the other end of the phone was from my best buddy, Li Fei. Some time after having dinner at Li Fei's home, the princes and princesses had all left the next day, and Chu Mo's life had returned to its peaceful routine. Chu Mo didn't rush Li Fei, as he had been waiting for Li Fei to make this call. Now that Li Fei had made his decision, whatever it was, Chu Mo was supportive! The end of December in Neon City was slightly dry and cold, with temperatures hovering around the freezing point. Chu Mo hadn't gone out much during this time. He had picked up his pen and paper again and spent time creating in his study every day. Occasionally, when he was bored, he'd also help out in the kitchen, and his originally rusty cooking skills had improved. Listening to the decision made over the phone by his best buddy Li Fei, Chu Mo sincerely said: "Fatty, whatever decision you make, I support you. Since you and your wife have decided to go to Paradise Island and likely won't be coming back anytime soon, it's best to make some preparations. You can quit your job, then it would be best to go home and explain things to your parents. In a couple of days, my secretary, Xia Xue, will come to pick you guys up. She will arrange your entire trip. I have a private Boeing plane that will take you directly to Paradise Island! Don't worry, I'll have a word with Geng Pan, and once you're there, consider it a vacation. You don't have to think about anything; just have fun and treat it as your honeymoon!...!" Chu Mo and Li Fei on the other end of the phone had a long chat, reminiscing about many fun moments from their school days, and Chu Mo hung up only when the figure of his bodyguard captain, Fan Gao, appeared in front of him. Looking at his wristwatch, it was now 7:20 PM, leaving forty minutes before his appointment with the guests. After finishing his call with Li Fei, Chu Mo immediately got into his Mercedes-Maybach, followed by two Red Flags and five luxury cars. A convoy composed of eight luxury cars then set off from Emperor's Pavilion. Li Fei's situation was indeed on Chu Mo's mind. The decision to go to Paradise Island was expected; after all, on the island, he and his wife would live like a king and queen, with three to four hundred maids and attendants at their service. With funding from Chu Mo and care from Geng Pan, the heir of America's leading family, the Ross family, Li Fei's life should be quite comfortable. Chu Mo's reach had only just taken root in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, and his international layout was quite weak. Having his best buddy Li Fei to check out the situation in America was useful. If Li Fei really managed to establish himself, Chu Mo wouldn't mind building a vast business empire in America. Of course, all of this depended on whether Geng Pan smoothly took over as the heir to the Ross family. Otherwise, without the support of the Ross family, someone inexperienced like Li Fei had no chance of standing firm in America. As for his international layout, that was on hold for now. Chu Mo's endeavors in Hua Country were not smooth either. Since its opening, Bafang Guest's jewelry market share in Neon City had not been snatched up as quickly as expected. Even if they were selling at a loss, the rival Zhi Zun jewelry store had launched various promotion campaigns, both large-scale and aggressive, not losing out to Bafang Guest at all! Under such circumstances, because Zhi Zun had an inherent advantage, Bafang Guest's aspiration to overtake was going to be an arduous battle of attrition. According to Fan's statistics, just half a month from opening, over three hundred jewelry stores had lost an astonishing 1.5 billion, and as discount intensity increased, the losses were rolling like a snowball and getting bigger. Clearly, the Lin family had received financial support from the eight great families, and they were also ready to fight to the end! Even with an unlimited bank card providing ample funds for the Fan family, defeating the Lin family quickly wasn't going to be easy. He had to take things one step at a time, and hurrying wouldn't help. The lavish convoy slowly left the city center and finally stopped in front of a bar's entrance, lit up with colorful neon lights. A series of door-opening sounds followed, and dozens of tall bodyguards immediately took up positions around the area. The receptionist at the bar's entrance had no chance to approach until it was clear the group was heading to the bar. The young man quickly turned to inform the manager to come out and greet them personally! On this side, Fan Gao opened the Maybach's door for Chu Mo. A gust of cold air rushed into the warmly heated car, causing Chu Mo, who was only wearing a warm shirt and casual clothes, to shiver slightly. Adjusting his collar, Chu Mo stepped out of the car and looked up at the bar sign glossed with the words "Misty Night". Taking a deep breath of the chill air, he strode forward. Most of the bodyguards stayed at the entrance; only Fan Gao remained close to Chu Mo, while seven or eight of the tall bodyguards followed from a distance.
