Trillionaire's Slice of Life

``` "Chen Qingshan, wait a moment!" The long-haired singer with an impatient expression stopped in his tracks, and at that moment, the manager, who had just swallowed hard, walked directly up to him. Then, with a serious look on his face, the manager said: "Xiao Chen, I know you have a good relationship with our boss. It's not that I, Liu, want to make things difficult for you, but we really can't afford to offend this guest. It's not just you and me, even if the boss himself were here, he would have to smile carefully in front of that person. If you don't drink this glass of wine today and cause the guest to lose face, none of us can get through today!" The expression of the long-haired young man slowly became cold, and he snorted, then his voice came out icy cold: "Manager Liu, before, President Shen promised me that my only responsibility at our Dimly Lit Bar is to sing, not to entertain guests. This was agreed upon by President Shen and me earlier. If you have any questions, Manager Liu, you should go directly to President Shen... And if you think my singing is not up to par, then I simply won't come to your bar in the future!" As he finished speaking, the long-haired young man turned to leave. At that moment, the middle-aged manager suddenly felt a piercing gaze from behind. Without turning around, he knew that the young man sitting in the corner booth was looking at him. The middle-aged manager with sweat dripping from his forehead spoke in an urgent tone: "Xiao Chen, don't refuse just yet. Listen to the history of this glass of wine first. This is a bottle of Heidsieck from the year 1907. I've heard our President Shen mention that this wine was specially ordered by the royal family of Mao Country, Nicholas II, at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1916, the ship carrying this wine sank, but the wreckage was discovered in 1997. This bottle was sold for $295,000. Only a very few number of people can taste what a century of aging at the bottom of the sea does to wine. There are only nine bottles of this wine left in the whole world. After opening this one, there will only be eight remaining. Right now, you couldn't buy it even with $400,000. The small glass here is worth upwards of 500,000 RMB. Our President Shen, with his billions in wealth, is considered very rich. But even with his status, he can't get his hands on wine like this. Just think about it, the status of someone who can drink this kind of wine. Moreover, I'll let you in on something. Right now, at least eight or nine top-of-the-line luxury cars are parked in front of our bar, each worth tens of millions. Just the bodyguards at the door number in the dozens. With people like that, they kindly offer you a drink and you refuse. Do you know what that means?" After the manager finished speaking, he added nothing more! With the situation explained to this point, if the young man in front of him still put on airs, then the manager had done his utmost. Later, even if President Shen asked, he would have an explanation. Indeed, upon hearing that the value of this small glass was actually four or five hundred thousand, the long-haired young man on the stage immediately dropped his impatience. His expression suddenly became one of hesitation. His gaze shifted toward the corner booth under the colorful lights. In the corner, a group of extraordinary-looking men in black stood out starkly. Biting his lip slightly, the young man snatched the wine glass from the middle-aged manager. As the liquid spilled onto the stage, the young man tipped his head back and poured the remaining half-glass of red wine into his stomach. He handed the glass to the manager, wiped his mouth, then gave one last look towards the corner before turning away neatly! The manager, having accomplished his task, took a deep breath. Looking at the liquid that had stained the back of his hand, the rich aroma of the top-grade red wine tempted him to lick it off without a second thought. But ultimately, he suppressed the urge from the bottom of his heart and returned to the corner booth. However, when he got near the booth, he saw that beside the extraordinary young man, there now sat a woman with a graceful figure. When his gaze lightly brushed over the woman's face, he felt as if struck by lightning, and at that instant, the middle-aged man froze on the spot. Just then, a black-clad bodyguard stepped forward to block his view, and the middle-aged manager quickly came back to his senses. He did not dare to look any longer, and after returning the glass, he discreetly retreated. However, the breathtaking visage that had flashed before him was already deeply etched in his heart! Chu Mo at this moment was smiling wholeheartedly as he watched the girl in front of him—Yang Duoer, the astonishingly beautiful girl he had been waiting for as his honored guest. ``` The Yang family of Capital City, ranked third among the eight great families of Hua Country with assets amounting to 1.5 trillion RMB, comprises five siblings, and the youngest Miss, Yang Duoer, is the one facing Chu Mo. Yang Duoer is known as the foremost among the four great beauties of Capital City, and all who have admired her beauty have been utterly captivated by her celestial looks. The first time Chu Mo saw her captivating beauty at the top scientists' banquet at Normal University, he was struck by her otherworldly charm. Only Chu Mo knew that Jiangnan's Li family heir, Li Hongda, was at the mercy of Miss Yang Duoer's charms, and it was said that Long Huanyu, the young heir of the Dragon family from Zhongzhou—who rank first among the eight families with three trillion RMB in assets—was also a suitor of this youngest Miss of the Yang family! Yang Duoer had once proposed a plan to covertly control the eight great families. She wasn't whimsical or flighty, but rather strategic and methodical. According to her plan, the first step was to take control of the easily manipulated Yang family of Capital City. Among the five Yang siblings, the second eldest, Yang Jianguo, held the most power, and the entire Yang family was grooming him to be the successor. In order to take control of the Yang family, Yang Duoer had already instigated a rivalry between her fourth brother, Yang Xiulu, and Yang Jianguo for the position of family patriarch. However, since Yang Xiulu had always been a playboy with a soft personality, lacking resolve, he wasn't taken seriously. Even with Yang Duoer's covert support, the results were minimal! Chu Mo hadn't wanted to make enemies with the eight great families, so he initially hadn't taken Yang Duoer's plan seriously. But now, in just a matter of months, the situation had changed dramatically. Whether he liked it or not, he was already in an irreconcilable conflict with the eight families. In such a situation, he could no longer afford to be cautious and had to go all out. "I heard Yang Xiulu has been sent off to some second-tier city in Zhongzhou? Is your brother Yang Jianguo going to make a move against you, the youngest Miss of the Yang family, next?" Chu Mo gently swirled the wine in his goblet, enchanted by the rich aroma of the top-quality red wine. The woman across from him wore a colorful long dress that hid her ankles, and donned dark sunglasses with a red frame. Her jet-black hair casually draped over her shoulders. She too gently savored the red wine in her goblet, and after setting it down, Yang Duoer, with her ethereal voice, said with a smile: "Unless my father dies, Yang Jianguo wouldn't dare to touch me, even if he had the gall to do it twice. That's why I dare to make my moves. Furthermore, fourth brother Yang Xiulu is indeed useless. I chose him initially because he was the easiest to control. Now, I have to pin my hopes on my other two brothers. My eldest brother, Yang Feiyue, and second brother are thick as thieves, so I can't count on him. My hopes are on my third brother now. But, it hasn't been in vain waiting for so long. Since Mr. Chu has sought me out proactively, my plan should be put into action very soon, shouldn't it?" Chu Mo didn't hide the fact that he had sought out Yang Duoer; it was naturally to carry out the plan they had previously discussed. Since the eight great families wanted to eliminate him, he might as well pull the rug from under them—it was only fair to return the favor. Breathing lightly and setting down his goblet, Chu Mo said with rare seriousness: "Your second brother, Yang Jianguo, is the main focus of your family's grooming, and I also find Yang Jianguo quite disagreeable, so we see eye to eye on this point! What's your plan? Let's hear it!" The woman in the long dress in front of him slightly lifted the corners of her mouth. Although the sunglasses covered most of her face, the mere sight of her luscious red lips was enough to mesmerize any living soul. As she lightly began to speak, a young man with long hair suddenly appeared by the booth. Chu Mo's gaze shifted to the opposite side, where the long-haired singer who had previously performed onstage was walking towards them.
