Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Late at night, this should be the most frenzied and bustling time for the entire nightclub, yet at this moment, within this dimly-lit nightclub located in the heart of Capital City, there was an unusual silence. All the patrons of the nightclub, numbering over a hundred, had been completely cleared out. Black-clad, tall bouncers were vigilantly guarding every corner, and about two to three dozen waiters stood respectfully and excitedly in the corners. The previous nightclub manager was simply standing a little farther away, while the honor of serving the two men, young and old, in the private booth fell to the top executive of the nightclub. If there was any anomaly in the nightclub, it would only be the few elite young men sitting opposite the private booth. This group of the top second and third generation rich kids in Capital City all had exceptional identities, and since they each had some connections to Old Master Lu, the bouncers had not disturbed them when they were clearing out the other customers. Seven or eight top rich second-generation kids gathered together and, without exception, their gazes were all fixed on the young and old pair opposite them. Each and every one of them wore a solemn expression, even carrying a hint of reverence and caution. Old Master Lu of Capital City, a top figure known to all in Hua Country, receiving his acknowledgement would be a matter of great pride for these second-generation heirs. As the helmsman of the Lu Family, one of the four major families in Capital City, Old Master Lu had a personal fortune in the hundreds of billions, and the Lu Family had a history spanning hundreds of years with incredibly extensive connections. It could be said that, with just one call from Old Master Lu, at least dozens of top tycoons would stand by his side. Therefore, among the four major families of Capital City, even though the Lu Family's assets might not match the Lin Family's, when it came to connections and influence, the Lu Family was streets ahead. In Capital City, Old Master Lu himself was a legend, and for the circles of the second and third generation, just getting to meet him could become bragging rights. As for greeting Old Master Lu or receiving a nod in return, that would be an incomparable honor. In the eyes of these second-generation heirs, Old Master Lu was a legendary figure; their greatest dream was to gain appreciation from him. However, they never imagined that someone of their own age could sit opposite Old Master Lu and engage in light-hearted banter with him. Chu Mo, whose face bore an expression of indifference, conversed in a soft voice with Old Master Lu. His demeanor was completely confident and poised, as if the person he faced was not any respected figure but an ordinary old man. Chu Mo, wearing golden sunglasses, showed no trace of fear or reverence. His presence was entirely composed and even carried a subtle sense of dominance. "Glug!~" Zhao Hongsen, the young heir of the Zhao family who had once smashed a glass on Fang Lihu, had a face that was already pale, but now it turned even whiter. His hands trembled as he lifted the glass in front of him; half of the reason was the numbness in his shoulder from Fang Lihu's grip, and the other half was due to the panic in his heart. Zhao Hongsen, trembling, tipped his head back and poured the brandy from his glass into his stomach. Then, he suddenly turned to the long-haired girl and said, "Yu Jun, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you holding me back, I fear I would have caused a major disaster today!" Zhao Hongsen's family was in the retail business with assets of over forty billion, and his father and grandfather were known as the Twin Heroes of Capital City, significant figures in their own right. In Capital City, aside from the top four young masters who could overpower him, Zhao Hongsen was the leader of the second tier. Without Lin Feng here, his status was the highest. However, upon seeing the young man he had had a conflict with chatting jovially with Old Master Lu, Zhao Hongsen inwardly felt a lurking fear that if he had acted impulsively in challenging the other party, he might have implicated his entire family! In Zhao Hongsen's fear, Su Mei, who wore silk stockings and boots, also took a careful breath. She gently patted her chest, her voice losing all hint of sultriness and instead carrying a hoarseness, "That person... must be him, right? Luckily we didn't actually fight with him. I heard that last time at the Capital City racetrack, at least a dozen families were implicated, and even the Fei family was completely uprooted...!" Inside the booth, the group of wealthy second-generation heirs nodded quietly, with each face showing a color of relief. The huge cake on the coffee table in front of them remained untouched, and the long-haired girl, who was also the organizer of the gathering and the birthday girl, suddenly asked in bewilderment, "Who are you talking about? I don't know him." The long-haired girl, Yu Jun, finished speaking, and all the wealthy second-generation heirs around her shook their heads. Then, it was Su Mei who gently explained, "Jun Jun, you really are someone who has only ever focused on reading the words of the sages, oblivious to the outside world. You've almost become foolish from all your studying. The sky of Capital City is nearly collapsing lately, and you still don't know a thing? It's him, Mister Chu of Capital City. He has turned the entire Capital City upside down on his own. Right now, he's even involved with the Lin Family... cough, in short, just know that the guy over there with the golden glasses is a very, very formidable person!" The long-haired girl gazed directly at the young man across from her with the glasses. She had been studying in the Capital City and focusing on preparing for her postgraduate exams, having no concern for extraneous affairs. Today, she had come home specially for her birthday and the weekend, gathering with a group of friends.
