Trillionaire's Slice of Life

However, as Chu Mo flipped through the documents, a faint sense of loss flickered at the bottom of his heart.

"Fenlan Country, Kris, thirty-one years old, an executive of Om Group, beauty rating: 99 points!"

After taking a deep breath and gently adjusting the golden glasses on his nose, Chu Mo quickly suppressed the slight disappointment in his heart. He knew that perhaps he had expected too much. A perfect beauty score of one hundred—this world probably wouldn't have more than a handful.

However, the woman named Kris in front of him had a beauty rating of ninety-nine points, which was already impressive. She was on the same level as Ding Qian, and with a bit of grooming, she might become another top-tier superstar.

It should be noted that even Ding Xiaoni, Shi Yuan Entertainment's hottest top-tier female star, despite having reached the level of international superstar, only had a beauty rating of ninety-seven points. Compared to Kris in front of him, she was somewhat lacking.

His gaze lingered on the photo in front of him for a moment. Perhaps the two women with perfect scores of one hundred had astonished him so greatly that now, seeing Kris's ninety-nine points, he felt somewhat distracted.

A moment later, casually tossing the fifth set of documents onto the coffee table before him, Chu Mo continued to look through the sixth...

Two minutes later, after looking through all the documents in hand, Chu Mo suddenly spoke:

"There are thirteen sets of documents here. Wasn't it said that the elimination round would only select ten people?"

Lu Siyue, sitting across from him, gently stood up. She collected the documents Chu Mo had scattered on the coffee table one by one. After arranging them, she placed them before her and then slowly said:

"I didn't expect that the qualifications of the applicants this time would be so high. It's as if all the great beauties from around the world came all at once. Originally, according to the plan, we indeed only needed ten candidates.

But as you've seen in these documents, there are two contestants with beauty ratings of one hundred, seven with ninety-nine points, and the remaining four were pre-selected by us, totaling thirteen people. Now, asking me to eliminate three out of these thirteen contestants is quite difficult for me.

I've thought about it for a long time and really don't know who to drop, so you, the big boss, have to make the decision!"

Chu Mo casually glanced at Lu Siyue across from him. His eyes briefly swept over the documents before him again, but he did not speak immediately; instead, he contemplated Lu Siyue's purpose.

She came to him with these documents, surely not just to seek his opinion. Eliminating three out of the thirteen contestants, although somewhat difficult, was not a big deal, certainly not worth making such a big fuss to come to him.

After briefly reflecting, Chu Mo picked up and gently tasted the Spirit Rhyme Tea in front of him, worth over a hundred million. After setting down the cup, he slowly said:

"You don't want to give up on those seven selected contestants, but are planning to eliminate the four preset candidates?"

Lu Siyue took a soft breath; evidently, she had another purpose for coming here, and now she was trying to persuade Chu Mo. A moment later, with a serious look in her eyes, Lu Siyue spoke:

"President Chu, as you have seen in the documents, among the four preset candidates, apart from Ding Qian of Shi Yuan Entertainment, the other three are only famous but fall far short in terms of beauty. This goes against the founding principle of the world's number one goddess competition. Amy's fame is sufficient to support the event, and we really do not need to rely on their fame to boost it.

So, my thinking is, rather than keep the precious spots for these preset candidates, it's better to give other people a chance."

"To not speak of others far away, the top British pop diva, Aria, has already competed against Amy Belle for the title of number one goddess three times before and has lost every time. Her participation this time is just a waste of a spot since everyone knows that she has no chance of winning against Amy."

"So, I was thinking, can't we break the norm, give up the preset spots and give these promising newcomers a chance?"

Chu Mo looked at the careful woman in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowing, and then quickly went into thought. In fact, the entire contest was under the charge of Lu Siyue. Chu Mo hardly meddled in the specifics, as he was just responsible for coordinating arrangements with Amy Belle.

For one thing, Lu Siyue was the next spokesperson candidate he had his eye on. If this contest were to be successfully concluded and Human April Company was to be fully launched into the world stage, then Chu Mo would invest heavily in the cosmetics industry, and the present Lu Siyue would become, like Zhan Bingxue and Qin Zixuan, a power-holder with assets worth billions.

Such a person must possess their own thoughts and courage, and since Chu Mo had chosen Lu Siyue, he needed to grant her sufficient freedom as well.

With that in mind, Chu Mo did not dwell on it too much. His voice was even as he said,

"Then do as you see fit. Of the four designated spots, aside from reserving Ding Qian's place, arrange the other three as you wish."

As Chu Mo finished speaking, Lu Siyue's face showed a trace of delight, but shortly after, her expression became more cautious. After hesitating for a moment, the Miss of the Lu family tentatively whispered,

"Uh, President Chu, regarding this competition, there are two contestants whose looks are on par with Amy's, and the other eight are only slightly behind. Could we perhaps change the rules... Let the ten challengers appear on stage with Amy in turn, bringing eleven incredibly beautiful women on stage together? The impact it would create would definitely be sensational.

If we launch our own products at that time, we will undoubtedly emerge victorious...!"

Lu Siyue's voice grew fainter as she spoke, and upon seeing impatience flash across Chu Mo's ordinarily composed face, she completely stopped talking.

Chu Mo glanced at Lu Siyue across from him. He could give her a certain degree of freedom so that she could fully utilize her abilities, but this freedom definitely had limits.

Although Chu Mo could easily agree to her proposal, not only would it be troublesome to later convince Amy, but it would also leave Lu Siyue with the impression that she could do as she pleased.

Such a situation was absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, after collecting his thoughts, Chu Mo simply gave Lu Siyue a casual glance. He didn't need to say much, and she immediately understood his intent, promptly standing up from her seat and then slightly bowing as she said,

"President Chu, it was my oversight. I've disappointed you."

Chu Mo observed Lu Siyue's faintly smiling lips. He took a gentle breath. After all, she was not his spokesperson. This woman had the powerful Lu family of Modu backing her, a family with assets over a hundred billion. More importantly, the elder of the Lu family was one of the most respected individuals in Hua Country.

Chu Mo's current aim was to win over the Lu family, and he did not want to create a rift with them just because he was too severe.

So after taking a deep breath and steadying his mind, Chu Mo calmly said,

"Amy is the world's number one goddess. The fact that she has agreed to participate in this competition is already an honor for me. If our private relationship weren't so close, she would not have joined at all. If we follow your plan and put ten challengers on the stage with her, such an array of extreme beauties will surely confuse the audience and even obscure the main attraction.

At that time, people might think that even a hundred percent beautiful Amy is nothing special; if that happens, it could also impact Amy's popularity. Therefore, your plan won't be accepted. Proceeding with the original plan is already sensational enough, there is no need for complications."

After Chu Mo spoke, Lu Siyue across from him immediately nodded. She sincerely said,

"President Chu is right. I hadn't considered all the aspects."

It was already evening, and the official competition would take place the next day. Chu Mo didn't want to delay Lu Siyue's time, so he personally rose to escort her to the courtyard gate. Although the two walked side by side, Lu Siyue was now consciously half a step behind Chu Mo.

"President Chu, the thirteen contestants have all arrived in Modu. They are currently at the Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel. Would you like to meet the two contestants with perfect looks to gauge their capabilities?"

Because she had just made a mistake, Lu Siyue's words carried a hint of an appeasing tone.

Upon hearing this, a bright light momentarily flickered in Chu Mo's eyes.
