Trillionaire's Slice of Life

In the circle of the four major families of Modu, the Zhou family was certainly the most distinctive presence. Since the passing of the Zhou family patriarch Zhou Shixing six months ago, the Zhou family's influence in Modu had greatly diminished.

What's more, the situation worsened when the two Zhou brothers, Zhou Weimin and Zhou Weijun, began to physically fight over the control of the family, causing the Zhou family's status to plummet even further.

The second tallest building in Modu, the Modu Financial Center, was exactly what Chu Mo bought from the members of the Zhou family for a price of 27 billion.

The Zhou patriarch had foreseen that the Financial Center would become the catalyst for the sibling rivalry before his death, so during his lifetime, he decisively sold the Financial Center despite opposition.

However, the Zhou patriarch probably never imagined that even after selling the Financial Center, the Zhou brothers still turned against each other, and this time, the bone of contention between the family head Zhou Weimin and Zhou Weijun was the Zhou family's pillar industry, Tianhua International Entertainment Company.

Tianhua Entertainment was the largest industry of the Zhou family, ranking only after Chu Mo's Shi Yuan Entertainment in the entertainment industry, with a high asset value of 60 billion. Tianhua Entertainment had fifteen top-tier superstars and thirty-two major stars and also held a pivotal position in the entertainment circle.

Six months earlier, when the Zhou patriarch was still alive, Shi Yuan Entertainment was even collaborating with the Zhou family.

However, after the death of the Zhou patriarch, the Zhou family seemed to think they could push Chu Mo around, and subsequent collaborations were fraught with difficulties. In a fit of anger, Chu Mo terminated the partnership with the Zhou family and has since been engaged in comprehensive collaboration with the top entertainment company, Shangyuan Entertainment.

To be fair, while Shi Yuan Entertainment was in its initial stages and while the Zhou patriarch was still alive, the Zhou family did provide Chu Mo with a considerable amount of assistance. It was precisely because of the collaboration with Tianhua Entertainment that Shi Yuan Entertainment was able to quickly navigate through the early stages of development and grow rapidly.

As the Zhou brothers turned against each other, Chu Mo's consistent policy was to stay out of it, to neither listen nor ask about it, and indeed, he had done just that. However, when two days ago, he received news from Lin Youzhi, the head of the Lin family, that Zhou Weimin was getting closer to the eight major families, Chu Mo could no longer just stand by and observe.

Since the last biker gang conflict, the Lin family had seemingly remained locked in an irreconcilable conflict with Chu Mo on the surface. However, in reality, the two families had reached a settlement and were planning to jointly deal with the oppression of the eight major families. It was for this reason that Lin Youzhi was able to obtain a lot of information related to the eight major families.

The four major families of Modu, originally, aside from the Lin family, the other three families, including the Lu family represented by Lu Ye, the Wu family, and the Zhou family, were supposed to be neutral. However, now, the Zhou family head Zhou Weimin had secretly inched closer to the eight major families.

It was beyond doubt that the purpose of the eight major families in wooing the Zhou family was to move against Chu Mo.

If the Zhou family continued to remain neutral, Chu Mo naturally would not act against them. But since the other side crossed the line first, he could not be blamed for being ruthless.

In the face-off between the Zhou brothers, with family head Zhou Weimin seeking to leverage the power of the eight major families to trip up the opposing faction, Chu Mo naturally could not let him get his way.

Since the eight major families were secretly funding Zhou Weimin, Chu Mo didn't mind supporting Zhou Weimin's brother, Zhou Weijun, even though there had been some minor conflicts between them in the past. However, in the face of mutual interests, such conflicts were negligible.

"Mr. Chu, we've looked into it. Domestic top-tier superstar Tao Yingying is actually being taken care of by Zhou Weijun. Tao Yingying is a top-tier superstar of Tianhua Entertainment with considerable popularity in the country, legitimate talents, and once won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress...!"

As Chu Mo sought to cooperate with Zhou Weijun, it was natural for him to want to know about this person's circumstances. Investigating such information was the bread and butter of detective agencies. The head of the detective agency, Jiang Tao, was standing in front of him, reporting in detail the information they had gathered to Chu Mo!

Chu Mo, sitting on the couch, suddenly gestured with his hand; he had just thought of something. He then pulled out his phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and after a few rings, the other party answered the call. Chu Mo directly inquired:

"Zi Xuan, a few days ago when you went to Shi Yuan Building to shoot the MV, you mentioned that Director Lin Hua would soon have a big production, and the choice for the lead actress was between Sun Qing and Lin Wanqiu, was there such a thing?"

As Chu Mo's words fell, a respectful voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Yes, Mr. Chu, there is such a thing. Director Lin Hua's upcoming drama is a major project for the company, with significant investment, and the female lead must at least be of top-tier superstar level. Oh, is it that Miss Yu Junjun has come around? I've also watched the MV that Miss Yu Junjun did before, and she has a great talent for acting.

If Miss Yu wants to play the leading role, I will coordinate with Director Lin!"

Chu Mo, holding the phone, took a moment to draw a breath and then said indifferently:

"Miss Yu has no intention of getting into the entertainment industry, it's not about her. It's like this, Tianhua Entertainment has a top-tier superstar called Tao Yingying, don't you know her? Seems very capable. If there are no issues, let's have this Tao Yingying be the female lead in Director Lin Hua's drama!"

"Tianhua Entertainment? Tao Yingying? Mr. Chu... this...!"

"Is there a problem?" As Qin Zixuan hesitated on the other end, Chu Mo's indifferent voice gently probed. The next moment, Qin Zixuan's voice came through firmly!

"No problems at all. I'll call Tianhua Entertainment myself right now. The female lead will be Tao Yingying!"
