Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Looking at Zhou Yuanyuan in front of him, Chu Mo's mind couldn't help but recall his cousin Chu Xiner and the child-faced Tao Yun.

Two charming and adorable little faces appeared before him, gradually lifting the gloom in Chu Mo's spirits.

He curved his lips into a smile, then slowly began to speak,

"There's nothing wrong, I've probably just been too tired recently, haven't rested well. After this is over, I must take a good break. By the way, it's summer vacation now, there's time to throw a party. We could all go out to the ocean and have fun, my yacht has been waiting out there all along."

Upon hearing him, Zhou Yuanyuan lit up, she blushed slightly, and then nodded gently.

At this moment, the top tycoons in the hall were still engaging in conversation with each other, but many couldn't help but cast glances at Chu Mo, especially at Zhou Yuanyuan by his side, showing a trace of unusual expressions when they looked at the girl.

Chu Mo knew that normally, they should all take the elevator down to the underground research laboratory at this time, but due to the critical rescue of Subject No. 1, the elder Situ, the entire lab was in chaos. Going down now would not only reveal nothing, it would also arouse suspicions among many; rather than that, Chu Mo was in no hurry to depart immediately.

He was trying to stall for time, buying the underground research lab some time to handle the pressing situation so that the upcoming tour could proceed smoothly.

Therefore, Chu Mo ignored the various gazes from the top tycoons and turned to Zhou Yuanyuan beside him, adopting a somewhat intimate posture as he spoke softly,

"Yuan Yuan, do you still remember the magic trick I performed for you before? It was on the yacht out at sea, with many people around."

"Of course, I remember. I've kept that card, and I always treat it as my lucky number."

Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes were bright. She looked around and soon noticed that on the opposite side, her father was currently exchanging pleasantries with the chairman of Hua Country's Star Science and Technology, Cao Renyi.

Zhou Yuanyuan recognized that top tycoon.

With a net worth of 170 billion and control over a 3 trillion tech conglomerate, Cao Renyi held an extremely significant position throughout Hua Country. In the past, her father had once introduced her to this top mogul.

However, in Zhou Yuanyuan's memory, her father had always been extremely humble and proactive when dealing with Cao Renyi.

What puzzled her was that at this very moment, the old man ranked among the top ten on Hua Country's Forbes list with wealth exceeding hundreds of billions, was actively conversing and laughing with her father. What was even more curious was that the old man's gaze would occasionally flick towards her, seeming to hold a certain special twinkle.

Although Zhou Yuanyuan was just a third-year university student and had grown up in high society circles, even if she was noble and aloof from worldly affairs, she well understood that in this circle, the division of status and rank was extremely strict.

The Zhou family had assets worth three to four hundred billion, but they were not engaged in any high-precision industries, only having some achievements in landscape construction. Hence, at the gatherings of the top tycoons, her father could only be at the bottom, bowing and scraping behind those billionaires.

What now moved Zhou Yuanyuan slightly was that not only the Star Science and Technology's Cao Renyi, but also Hua Country's richest man, Zhang Dahua, was similarly standing next to her father with a beaming smile, appearing to be enjoying their conversation.

Although Zhou Yuanyuan kept her composure, when she glanced at the young man beside her, she knew that the reason her father, usually a peripheral figure, was now receiving so much attention from so many big shots was solely because of her.

Or rather, solely because of this Brother Chu by her side.

Zhou Yuanyuan was not one of those naive girls; she clearly understood that because she was standing together with Chu Mo, their intimate conversation made these tycoons curious, unable to grasp the true relationship between her and Mr. Chu, and that was why these big shots, who would not spare her a second glance on normal days, were suddenly so eager and enthusiastic.

As the father of Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhou Qinghua was similarly taken aback as he watched his daughter. Zhou Qinghua had come here only with some hope, perhaps on a whim, fully aware that with his multi-billion assets, it was practically impossible to enter this club under normal circumstances. It was with the thought of "what if" that he had stubbornly brought his daughter here.

To have been able to enter the club was already beyond his expectations.

Now, not only had he and his treasured daughter gained entry together, but they were also receiving enthusiastic hospitality.

Upon seeing the many top tycoons and the world's secretive and great figures, Zhou Qinghua had already made up his mind to behave modestly, although he knew that networking with some of the people here would bring him immense benefits. However, he was also acutely aware that this place far exceeded the limits of who he could befriend.

Surrounded by individuals worth hundreds of billions or even trillions, his modest billions were of no value to others here.

What truly shocked Zhou Qinghua was that when his beloved daughter stood by Mr. Chu's side, those top-tier magnates, who usually acted so superior, actually approached him and started chatting with him with enthusiasm.

This left Zhou Qinghua feeling flattered and also sparked his curiosity; if his darling daughter really had some sort of connection with Mr. Chu, then his Zhou family might just leap through the dragon gate.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Qinghua was no longer as passionate and flirtatious as before; his attention was continuously on his daughter.

In such an atmosphere, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly had a special and complex emotion arise within her. She felt that if she gave even the slightest hint to Chu Mo by her side, the two of them could move from their current simple relationship to becoming an official couple in one fell swoop.

If that really happened, what would her future become?

Zhou Yuanyuan's thoughts were in a slight disarray, causing her beautiful, blushing face to look even more enticing, like a flower ripe for picking.

"Yuanyuan, what are you thinking about?"

The gentle voice of Chu Mo rang in her ear, snapping Zhou Yuanyuan back from her reverie. She couldn't bear to look straight into Chu Mo's eyes and instead lowered her gaze and said softly,

"Nothing, I just saw some familiar faces, including two princes and princesses. It just feels like I'm dreaming to be here."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo's lips curled slightly. The reason he had actively struck up a conversation with Zhou Yuanyuan was mainly to buy time. Turning his gaze to Prince Mayer in the corner, Chu Mo smiled and said,

"That is Prince Mayer from Britain, quite handsome, isn't he? But, in terms of power, the Arab man by his side is actually more formidable. He is the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia and has a great chance of succeeding the entire Saudi state, a man above ten thousand. If Yuanyuan wants to be a princess, I could introduce you to Prince Awalid."

There was a teasing tone in Chu Mo's voice. Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes widened slightly upon hearing this. She took a serious look at Awalid in the corner, then turned her gaze back to Chu Mo. After a brief silence, Zhou Yuanyuan replied softly,

"I don't want that. That prince isn't as appealing as you, brother Chu. Even if I were to marry, I would likely choose someone like you."

Hearing this, Chu Mo's eyes widened slightly.

Previously, he had used countless tactics on this girl who always had her nose in the air, but today, without any effort, she seemed to be on some kind of odd medication?

Chu Mo's mind raced, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up again.
