Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Chu Mo, we really do have fate. Just a short time since our last meeting at the World Trade Tower, and here we are again,"

Chu Mo, who was enjoying his meal, originally had no intention of interacting with others - he just hadn't expected someone to take the initiative to approach him. When he slightly lifted his head, he saw a familiar figure.

The young master of the Capital City's Liu family, Liu Wei, happened to be that second-generation rich kid who had previously offended him at the Magic City racetrack. However, after their reconciliation, Chu Mo had another encounter with this fellow young master at the jewelry exhibition in the World Trade Tower during his last trip to Magic City.

With assets amounting to 380 billion yuan, the Liu family ranked just behind the Luo family he had just seen, and together with one of the eight prestigious families, the Yang family, these three almost occupied half of Capital City's wealth.

By Liu Wei's side were several young masters and misses, all without exception focusing their eyes on the exquisite Jade. The two girls who had not met Chu Mo were looking at him with full faces of curiosity.

Chu Mo had no interest in exchanging pleasantries with these second-generations. He let his gaze wander, preparing to send the other party away so he could continue his private world with Jade, when from the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of Yang Jianguo, the second young master of the Yang family, chatting and laughing with a group of young masters.

Originally on the verge of speaking, Chu Mo instead gently gestured, prompting a waiter to come over respectfully. Taking a glass of red wine from the tray, Chu Mo spoke indifferently,

"Young Master Liu, you must be quite familiar with Second Young Master Yang, aren't you?"

The Liu and Yang families were as close as two peas in a pod, so naturally, Liu Wei was well-acquainted with a few of the Yang family's young masters. Chu Mo had been pondering how to strike up a conversation with the people from the Yang family, but now, with Liu Wei taking the initiative to approach him, his mind was rapidly calculating.

At this time, one of the heavily made-up girls by Liu Wei's side said with full interest,

"Young Master Liu, you haven't introduced us to this gentleman yet!"

Liu Wei obviously didn't care too much about the few friends around him, clearly, their status wasn't high enough to merit his full attention. After a cursory introduction, he took the initiative to say,

"Chu Mo, you really splurged last time – that necklace, I still remember it vividly!"

Chu Mo followed Liu Wei's gaze, only then noticing that the other's glance, seemingly unintentional, was on Jade's chest. Around Jade's snow-white neck was the Heart of the Ocean, a necklace worth over a hundred million yuan.

This necklace was the very one he had purchased at the last jewelry exhibition, alongside another piece worth two hundred million US dollars, an emerald necklace, which Chu Mo had already gifted to the jewelry queen, Princess Mina Gong of Wei'er.

Chu Mo casually exchanged pleasantries with the group of second-generations. Although the young masters' eyes shone brightly upon seeing Jade, no one dared to cause trouble once they saw how Liu Wei treated Chu Mo, so aside from offering compliments, they restrained themselves.

Moments later, the ball began, and shortly after, Xu Qi, the chairman of the Chang'an Club, personally took the stage. This forty-eight-year-old middle-aged man, also worth over a hundred billion yuan, was likewise one of the few top tycoons in Capital City.

With the attention of the entire venue on him, Xu Qi, holding a microphone, opened with a laugh,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am highly honored by your attendance at this ball amidst your busy schedules. Tonight, we have invited a pair of mysterious guests. Now, let us welcome with the warmest applause the princesses from Denmark, Princesses Qing Guo and Qing Cheng."

Although unclear about what was happening, the audience naturally wanted to show Xu Qi due respect, and as a wave of enthusiastic applause rose, the stage lights instantly illuminated. Then, a pair of twin princesses, like straight out of a fairytale, made their way to the center of the stage, hand in hand.

In that moment, the eyes of everyone in the venue were riveted on the twin princesses on stage, enchanting as sprites. Regardless of age or gender, a look of amazement appeared in everyone's eyes.

The twin princesses, named Qing Guo and Qing Cheng, donned stunning dresses - one in a fiery red and the other in a cool blue. Holding hands with soft and graceful steps, the two came to the center of the stage, like a pair of butterflies dancing in the air.

At this moment, the chairman of Chang'an Club and billionaire Xu Qi personally welcomed the two princesses. He then said with a smile:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce these two princesses, Qing Guo and Qing Cheng. Just like their names indicate, in the presence of these sisters, all beautiful words in the world seem pale and powerless.

Qing Guo, a double PhD from Harvard University in America, and Qing Cheng, a doctoral graduate from the University of Cambridge in England. Two months ago, the King of Denmark acquired ten percent of Citibank's shares and gifted them to the princesses. One month ago, the princesses founded Angel Investment Company with a registered capital of five billion US dollars.

And just two weeks ago, Her Highnesses invested in Oracle Corporation, now holding ten percent of Oracle's shares!

The princesses are fond of Chinese culture, and so they have accepted our invitation to come here; it is my honor. Moreover, the King of Denmark once asked me to find suitable husbands for the princesses amongst you, so you young masters should act quickly.

Well, without further ado, now is the time for our younger generation. I declare the ball officially open!"

As soon as Xu Qi finished speaking, the venue immediately burst into warm applause.

Meanwhile, Chu Mo at the table noticed that with the arrival of Qing Guo and Qing Cheng, the atmosphere of the entire venue had changed, including the excited glow in the eyes of the few young nobles beside him.

"Chu Mo, the Danish princesses are quite beautiful, and they are not only princesses of the Danish Royal Family, but from what Uncle Xu introduced, they seem to be highly valued by the King of Denmark. Not to mention, the ten percent stake in Oracle they hold represents assets worth hundreds of billions.

Add to that the ten percent stake in Citibank as well as Angel Investment Company, just these publicly known assets alone put the princesses' worth at two to three hundred billion. Plus, winning the favor of the princesses could bring them closer to the entire Danish Royal Family. Whatever way you look at it, it's a good deal. Aren't you tempted, Chu Mo?"

When Liu Wei, the eldest young master of the Liu family, spoke with great interest, Chu Mo's gaze was fixed on Yang Jianguo, the second young master of the Yang family. No one understood the situation with the sisters Qing Guo and Qing Cheng better than Chu Mo did. He had no interest in the sisters; what truly interested him was the reaction of Yang Jianguo.

Seeing Yang Jianguo also wearing a look of great enthusiasm, Chu Mo slightly curved his lips and then casually said:

"I already have a beauty by my side, so I won't compete with everyone here. Good luck, gentlemen!"

As soon as Chu Mo spoke, Liu Wei suddenly shook his head and sighed:

"I think we shouldn't bother trying. Not only are the identities of these princesses intimidating, but their education is not to be underestimated. Plus their favored status and their wealth of several hundred billion, aside from the heirs of the eight great families, I reckon the rest of us will just be treated as invisible by them."

After Liu Wei spoke, the young nobles around him who had been excited a moment ago all suddenly wore bitter expressions.

If even Liu Wei, the eldest son of the Liu family with three hundred and eighty billion in assets, had no chance, then what about the rest of the second and third generation, who couldn't even count as making up the numbers?

And as everyone watched, in the center of the venue, Yang Jianguo, the confident second young master of the Yang family, could no longer sit still. This tall and distinguished young master, under everyone's gaze, slowly approached the sisters Qing Guo and Qing Cheng.

Chu Mo, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, gently swirled his wine glass, knowing that everything happening now was within his plan. Yang Jianguo had finally taken the bait—and not without Chu Mo paying a substantial price to fabricate such a glorious past and identity for Qing Guo and Qing Cheng.

Just then, Chu Mo suddenly noticed a gaze fixed on him. He turned his head and saw a graceful figure at the edge of the crowd, staring straight at him from behind large sunglasses.

He slightly curled up the corner of his mouth and then raised his glass to toast in her direction.

His plan concerning the heirs of the eight great families had begun as of today, and Chu Mo was confident that in the not-too-distant future, he would stand above them all. By then, Hua Country would have no rivals to him.
