Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"As the saying goes, on the road, it's friends you rely on," Chu Xiner, your classmate, it's crucial that you cultivate a good relationship with her. As Mr. Chu's only relative in Magic Metropolis, that Chu Xiner, for the sake of her future, is absolutely boundless in potential."

Zhou Yuanyuan frowned slightly.

Chu Xiner was her roommate and best friend; no one knew her better than Zhou Yuanyuan.

Although that girl had been studying hard and striving to improve herself recently, her experience was still too thin, and she was somewhat timid when talking to people. Zhou Yuanyuan believed she was no worse than her.

Zhou Qinghua, sitting beside her, clearly noticed Zhou Yuanyuan's indifference. He sighed softly before he finally said,

"Yuan Yuan, it's not that Father doesn't think you're outstanding enough, but your starting point is far too much lower than Chu Xiner's.

With Mr. Chu's support, that Chu Xiner, at the very least, belongs to the category of someone with a net worth in the hundreds of billions. Putting that aside, do you know who that person standing next to Mr. Chu is?"

Zhou Yuanyuan followed her father's gaze, and at a glance she saw two elderly Caucasians standing next to Chu Mo. She saw several people chatting and laughing, not at all disrupted by the gap in their ages, so she knew those people must also hold exceptional identities and directly said,

"They must be the ones from the Forbes list, capable of sidelining Hua Country's wealthiest, Ren Dahua. That person's net worth must be at least in the hundreds of billions."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qinghua first nodded slightly, but after a moment, he shook his head again and said,

"What you're saying is correct, these people indeed hold expensive identities, but they are not on the Forbes list, remember this... That elder to Mr. Chu's left, his birth name is Rothschild, he's the head of the first family in America and the whole world, hailed as a living legend. His net worth is conservatively estimated to be at least above fifty trillion."

Zhou Qinghua's calm words settled, and this time, Zhou Yuanyuan's entire being couldn't help but widen her delicate eyes, no longer able to maintain her previous composure.

That old man, who looked gray-haired and as if half his body was buried in the dust of history, was actually a top-tier billionaire worth fifty trillion?

At this moment, Zhou Yuanyuan's brain experienced a momentary lapse. If the information she had just heard wasn't personally told to her by her own father, if it were anyone else, Zhou Yuanyuan would've thought the other person was spouting nonsense.

Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly remembered the Forbes list she had seen not long ago. If she remembered correctly, on the recently released Forbes list, the one ranked as the world's number one was indeed an internet mogul with a net worth of two trillion.

And the world's richest person only had a net worth of two trillion, but that old man with gray hair, his assets were actually twenty-five times that of the world's richest person? What kind of terrifying existence would that be?

Just as Zhou Yuanyuan's mind was in turmoil, Zhou Qinghua didn't give her much time to think and continued speaking,

"Another old man beside Mr. Chu, even if you don't know him, you should have heard of him. This man is the godfather of luxury goods from the hair country, Mr. Edward, the world's top brands you often purchase like Chanel, Laurence, Gucci, all come from this gentleman's hands, conservatively estimated, the net worth of this luxury goods godfather is at least above ten trillion. The world's richest person you know, in front of these two, is nothing at all.

Also, right behind Mr. Chu is the Saudi King, and then there's Britain's Jewelry Queen, the internet tycoons; these people are all trillionaires. As for those princes and princesses, you should also recognize their faces.

Do you see that? That Luo Hao from the Luo family of Capital City, he's the tycoon in charge of the thirty trillion Tianxin Group, but here, he can't even enter the core area around Mr. Chu.

Any unremarkable person here holds a horrifying net worth of over a hundred billion. If you were to offend anyone here, even our Zhou family in Jiangnan would be severely hurt."

Zhou Qinghua gave his treasured daughter this precaution early to prevent her from provoking someone she shouldn't, and seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's shocked appearance afterward, he nodded slightly and then said no more.

Moments later, apparently seeing a familiar figure, Zhou Qinghua took the lead, stepping forward and walking towards the other person.

At the entrance of the reception room, only Zhou Yuanyuan was left.

Zhou Yuanyuan, with a beauty score of ninety-eight, which made her the absolute center of attention wherever she went, was now for the first time doubting herself.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the handsome young man laughing and chatting at the center of the crowd; it seemed that he was the youngest in the entire hall. Likewise, he was also the most confident of them all.

Even in the presence of a legendary figure worth fifty trillion, even next to the luxury goods godfather worth ten trillion, his expression was unchanged, the epitome of self-assured composure.

At that moment, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly remembered the first time she encountered that boy.

Back then, she had been shopping with Tao Yun while Chu Xiner, her dorm mate, had been excluded by several people. That was when she first met Chu Mo, who treated everyone to a lavish meal. It was in that villa where Zhou Yuanyuan first clearly felt the deep, hidden affection he had for her.

Relying on a woman's unique sensitivity, Zhou Yuanyuan knew that Big Brother Chu indeed had a fondness for her. From the way he looked at her, she could clearly feel his admiration.

But at the time, Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't felt much in return; after all, he wasn't one of the rich second-generation who frivolously spent money among her many suitors.

Back then, she had only seen him as an ordinary admirer, without the slightest additional interest.

Only later, as their contact became less frequent and as Zhou Yuanyuan came to understand him more, did she realize that he was not as simple as an ordinary rich second generation.

He might not have been very humorous, but he was a mature and stable person, and being by his side gave one a sense of security.

As they interacted more and more, Zhou Yuanyuan also discovered his extraordinary aspects.

This young man, only a few years older than herself, was definitely not the average rich second-generation; the magnates who appeared around him held increasingly high status. Even at his yacht party, she had seen him chatting and laughing with the heads of the four major families from Shanghai.

From that moment on, Zhou Yuanyuan no longer saw him as a common admirer but as a man she couldn't see through.

It was also for this reason that, although he had later explicitly expressed his ambiguous feelings for her, she had discreetly rejected them all.

Now, as she appeared before him once again, Zhou Yuanyuan realized that there seemed to be a mountain between them, an insurmountable barrier.

She could only look up at his towering figure from the foot of the mountain now.

At this moment, Zhou Yuanyuan's expression was complex. Her gaze swept behind the man, and when she saw several women even more beautiful than herself, eyeing the young man with gleaming eyes, she knew she had lost her last chance.

If only she hadn't been so unapproachable at that time, not so haughty—if she had accepted him when he pursued her, perhaps she would have a place by his side now, along with those distinguished guests.

Zhou Yuanyuan's face was filled with regret.

Sometimes, just one small decision can truly change a person's life.

The elevator door in front of her slowly opened, and an elderly man with greying hair appeared.

The moment she saw the old man, Zhou Yuanyuan took a deep breath once again.

Unlike the earlier top magnates, Zhou Yuanyuan recognized the old man appearing before her.

That was because he was often mentioned in her textbooks, known as one of the top ten scientists of humankind, Master Frederic.

And just as Zhou Yuanyuan was slightly stunned for a moment, that world-class scientist respectfully bowed his head and greeted the young man in front of him.
