Trillionaire's Slice of Life
Chapter 388: Below One Person, Above Tens of Thousands of Others (Part 2)
The long-haired singer, brimming with excitement, turned and headed towards the stage. At this moment, Yang Duoer in front of him finally said with a smile:
"Mr. Chu, you see, men are just so easy to deal with."
Chu Mo watched the singer return to the stage, and when he saw the other frequently glancing over here, eyes filled with tenderness and affection, he knew that the young Miss Yang across from him had completely captured a man's heart with just a single drink.
He gently curled his lips and then, amidst the soft music playing in his ears, he spoke up:
"Do you plan to use a beauty trap on Yang Jianguo? Are you sure it will work?"
As the words fell, the woman in front spoke in a charming voice:
"Mr. Chu, since ancient times heroes have found it hard to surpass the beauty barrier. What kind of a person is my brother, when I've lived with him for twenty-four years, do you think I don't know? But there's one thing—I don't have many notable resources at my disposal, and that is where I'll need you to take some trouble, Mr. Chu!"
Chu Mo did not immediately agree. He pondered for a moment, and the image of Yang Jianguo, the towering and handsome second young master of the Yang family in Prince Gong's Mansion's pavilion in Capital City, crossed his mind. This man was indeed very annoying.
If he were to control the Yang family's resources in Capital City in the future, even if it had no effect on himself, the mere sight was enough to be irritating!
With this thought, Chu Mo suddenly turned to Fan Gao beside him and asked:
"The twin sisters called Zi Xiang and Zi Yi, whom we saw on the fan at the Bafang Guest's grand opening, what is their background? Would there be any difficulty in getting them to work for us?"
Fan Gao, the head of the bodyguard team, furrowed his brow slightly. He lowered his head and then said with a sincere face:
"Mr. Chu, these matters are all handled by my elder brother. I will call him right now to ask; please wait a moment!"
Chu Mo simply waved his hand lightly, saying nothing more.
With permission granted, Fan Gao immediately picked up the phone. He did not make any attempt to be discreet; instead, he directly took out his cell phone and dialed Fan Zhijian's number in front of everyone. It was just a moment before the call was answered, and Fan Gao's gruff voice was the first to be heard:
"Mr. Chu wants me to ask if the twin sisters Zi Xiang and Zi Yi are reliable?"
On the other end of the phone, Fan Zhijian didn't hesitate at all and responded directly:
"Those two have been secretly funded and raised by our Fan family, they are absolutely loyal to the Fan family. Why? Has Mr. Chu taken an interest in them?"
"Got it, I will discuss the details with you later. Goodbye!"
Without any dilly-dallying, Fan Gao hung up the phone and nodded at Chu Mo:
"Mr. Chu, these two are absolutely reliable."
To Chu Mo's slight surprise, he had originally thought that the six great beauties who had appeared at Bafang Guest were just for show by the Fan family. But now it seemed that these six people were secretly nurtured by the Fan family, and the purpose of these six beauties, who all had a beauty score above ninety-five, was almost self-explanatory.
At this moment, Chu Mo suddenly had a deeper appreciation for those grand families with decades or even centuries of heritage.
Having received the answer he wanted, Chu Mo focused his gaze on Yang Duoer in front of him. He furrowed his brow slightly and then spoke with some lack of reassurance:
"I've seen the twin sisters Zi Xiang and Zi Yi. They are identical, with appearances roughly equivalent to the spokespeople around me, but they have not reached the level of national calamity level beauties. As the key figure groomed by your family and the future successor of the Yang family, Yang Jianguo surely isn't short on beautiful women.
Relying merely on their beauty to make him give up his position as the heir seems a bit far-fetched, doesn't it?"
The young Miss Yang in front of him lightly curled her lips, her luscious lips slightly upturned, and suddenly there was an enchanting aura about her that was mesmerizing.
At that moment, the singer on stage finally adjusted his emotions. The long-haired young man held a guitar in his arms, and as his slender fingers gently plucked the strings, a beautiful tune flowed out, and in an instant, the moving singing voice spread throughout the entire bar!
"..."
That laughter reminds me of the flowers of mine,
Silently blooming in every corner of my life.
I once thought I'd stand by his side forever,
But today, we've parted in the vast sea of faces.
Have they all aged?
Where are they now?
We've each set off to the ends of the earth,
...!"
The man's singing voice still carried a soul-stirring penetrative power; as he sang with all his might, a faint sorrow enveloped him. All the while, his eyes, filled with melancholy, were constantly glancing towards a corner of the bar.
The singer, named Chen Qingshan, was naturally fixating on Yang Duoer, who was sitting across from Chu Mo.
At that moment, the smile at the corners of Miss Yang's mouth grew even wider. Suddenly, she beckoned towards the stage. Amid the excitement of the long-haired young man, the charming-voiced Yang Duoer began to speak:
"In an ordinary setting, it's indeed difficult to attract the attention of Yang Jianguo, so creating a specific scene is necessary. I've been siblings with Yang Jianguo for twenty-four years; no one understands his nature and temperament better than I do.
Those sisters named Zi Xiang and Zi Yi, as long as they follow my arrangements and I craft opportunities for them, their chances of success will triple.
If Mr. Chu, you could arrange for the sisters to possess noble origins, like princesses of British royalty or heiresses of the American Ross family—statuses that would make Yang Jianguo bow his head—he would immediately become like that singer on stage, turning into a fawning dog for the sisters!
At that time, Mr. Chu, with just a little push from you behind the scenes to suppress Yang Jianguo's affairs, I believe it will be extraordinarily effective!"
As the heartfelt singing of the long-haired singer echoed in his ears, Chu Mo's mind raced with thoughts. Once he nodded, it would mean that from then on, he would be working with Miss Yang to secretly control the successors of the eight great families.
In a few years, or maybe a decade, when the current heads of the great families stepped down and the new generation took over, the total assets of Hua Country's eight great families, exceeding ten trillion, would completely fall under his control.
To control the eight great families of Hua Country was almost equal to controlling half of Hua Country's commercial landscape. By then, a single stomp of his foot would cause the whole of Hua Country to tremble, and likewise, he would become a figure able to sway the world order, just like the American Ross family.
Of course, the greater the reward, the higher the risk. If anything went wrong with this matter, he would face not the light drizzle of the eight great families' current opposition but a violent storm of suppression.
However, Chu Mo no longer saw any possibility of reconciliation with the great families. A plan he had always been reluctant to accept was now something he had no choice but to carry through.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo personally poured wine for Yang Duoer in front of him. He gently raised his glass, and after a serious clink of their glasses, he said with a grave voice,
"Now, we are grasshoppers on the same string. If this works, Miss Yang, you will be second only to one, above tens of thousands. If we lose, let's be ready to wrap up and flee Hua Country!"
Yang Duoer, with her celestial beauty, suddenly flashed a radiant smile. Revealing a row of neat, pearly white teeth and a pair of adorable little canines that made her even three times more charming.
"Mr. Chu, I've been waiting for you for a full three months for today. Rest assured, Mr. Chu, I understand the importance of our endeavor. But, I do enjoy a challenge. We'll split our first move into two: one is our Yang family, and the other is the comparatively easier target, the Jiangnan Li family!"
"Li Hongda's band will participate in next month's music festival in the Magic City of Hua Country. That Chen Qingshan on stage is not bad, and being an amateur singer fits right in with Li Hongda's tastes. With my recommendation, Chen Qingshan should be able to join Li Hongda's band. I'll operate from behind the scenes to ensure Li Hongda wins the championship...
As for afterwards, it's time for Li Hongda to return to the family business and formally take over Li Xiaoyao's position...!"
