Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Ms. Zhan, there's a lady who claims to be Jiang Rourou looking for you in the meeting hall. She doesn't have an appointment...!" The afternoon sun filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows behind her, casting a warm scene over the office. Dressed in a red long dress, Zhan Bingxue looked up at her personal secretary standing before her and, without any hesitation, she promptly instructed: "Let her come in. She's one of the big boss's people; we can't neglect her." Hearing this, the female secretary's expression immediately became even more respectful, bowing deeply before she withdrew and left. The office door closed once again, and Zhan Bingxue put down the document in her hand. She rose gently and stood in the Bafang International 88th floor chairman's office, gazing into the distance. Directly across, the imposing 100-story towers of the Mo City Financial Building and Mo City Global Center were in full view, and even further off, Mo City's only seven-star super hotel, Tianxiang Garden, could be clearly seen. In just over half a year, Zhan Bingxue was no longer afflicted by her previous anxieties, nor would she wake up suddenly in the middle of the night as she had before. She had gradually grown accustomed to her elevated status and powerful position, and she deeply loved her job to the same extent. Two months ago, Bafang International's expansion met resistance. Led by Su Zhengxiong, more than a dozen five-star hotels formed an alliance, resisting Bafang International's acquisition with full force. Moreover, several of Bafang's senior executives had been persuaded and bought over by others. At that time, Zhan Bingxue had indeed hit rock bottom. However, fortunately, that gentleman stepped in, disbanding Su Zhengxiong's alliance in one fell swoop. Having lost their largest adversary and acquired the second-largest hotel in Mo City with a market value of twenty billion, Tengwang Pavilion International Hotel, Bafang International officially entered a phase of rapid development. Given Su Zhengxiong's example, no one dared obstruct Bafang International's momentum. Thus, in the past two months, Bafang's expansion was exceedingly rapid. Not only did they successfully acquire Tianhua International Hotel and Yong Shun International Hotel, but just a few days ago, they had smoothly taken over Jiu Long International Hotel with a market value of 108 billion. By now, Bafang International Chain Hotel owned eleven five-star hotels, with a total market value exceeding 130 billion, truly deserving the title of 'Hundred Billion Wealthy Club.' As the chairman, Zhan Bingxue oversaw tens of thousands of employees and was recognized as one of Mo City's top ten influential figures, enjoying unparalleled prominence. Zhan Bingxue no longer needed to make efforts to enter the so-called upper echelons of society, as she herself was already a top boss in Mo City. Wherever she was, that was the high society. Now, not just in Mo City, but many wealthy individuals from across Hua Country would vie to ingratiate themselves with her. Zhan Bingxue's gaze passed through the large floor-to-ceiling windows in front of her. From here, she could see Tianxiang Garden, valued at 230 billion, the early acquisition of Tianyi International Hotel, and the newly acquired Jiu Long International Hotel. Bafang International had grown into a colossal presence in Lujiazui, dictating the rules for the entire dining and accommodation industry in the area—no one dared to disobey. However, even though Zhan Bingxue was now vastly influential, the only regret in her heart was... The three great towers opposite Mo City. The Mo City Global Center, valued at 200 billion, the Mo City Financial Building, valued at 270 billion, and Mo City's highest tower, valued at 400 billion—these three buildings alone had a near total value of 900 billion. If it weren't for Dong Xun'er's interference, these three towers would also be under her control, and then Zhan Bingxue's assets would not be just a hundred billion, but a full two hundred billion. In all of Mo City, aside from the Lin family, which had over a hundred years of history and held assets of three hundred billion, even the other three major families were roughly at the hundred billion scale. If her assets exceeded two hundred billion, Zhan Bingxue would become the second most powerful force in Mo City! "What a pity..." As Zhan Bingxue murmured softly to herself, a gentle knock sounded at the office door. She straightened her collar and crisply said: "Come in." The office door opened, and in walked the tall, beautiful woman alongside the personal secretary, her face filled with curiosity as she looked around. Zhan Bingxue had already been informed about the visitor. With a slight smile and in a gentle voice, she said: "Miss Jiang, Mr. Chu has already informed me about your matter. I will be accompanying you throughout this process, and you may ask me any questions you have. Xiao Chen, serve our guest some fine tea." The secretary, whose eyes had lit up slightly, immediately bowed and left. At this moment, Zhan Bingxue took her seat at the head of the table. The white-dressed Jiang Rourou didn't take a seat but casually strolled around the vast office, observing the opulent surroundings. Suddenly, the forthright Jiang Rourou blurted out: "So you're the 'lecher'... ahem, I mean, the spokesperson Mr. Chu mentioned? The working environment isn't bad, huh? With a professional secretary, it looks like you hold a not-so-low position. It's just the hotel business, catering to people—I'm not too fond of that." Zhan Bingxue looked at the spirited woman in the long dress opposite her, struggling to understand how Mr. Chu could have chosen such a person as a spokesperson. But since it was an order from Mr. Chu, she naturally wouldn't dare to treat it lightly. Taking a deep breath, Zhan Bingxue answered: "The hotel is in the service industry; serving people is what we do. If Miss Jiang doesn't like this line of work, there's no need to be in hotels. Do you have any particular job interests, Miss Jiang?"
