Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Hmm!"

Without further ado, Chu Mo hung up Qin Zixuan's call. He redirected his attention to the towering figure before him and, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the sofa, he said indifferently,

"Using Tao Yingying is just like throwing a stone to ask the way. If Zhou Weijun is interested, he will definitely understand my intention. Continue, what other weaknesses does Zhou Weijun have?"

Opposite him, Jiang Tao, who stood over two meters tall and exuded an aura like that of a tiger, continued,

"Zhou Weijun has two sons. His eldest son, Zhou Tianqi, is already married to a family from Suzhou, the Nangong family, which holds significant power in Suzhou with assets exceeding fifty billion RMB. It's precisely because of the strong support from the Nangong family that Zhou Weijun has the strength to vie for power with the Family Head, Zhou Weimin.

The second son, Zhou Tianfang, Mr. Chu, you should remember him. He is the brat who disrupted your meal with jewelry queen Wei'er and Princess Mina at Jinmao Mansion. The eldest son, Zhou Tianqi, is one of the 'Four Young Masters of Modu' and is quite famous and cunning, while this Zhou Tianfang is nothing but an unlearned wretch. After Mr.

Chu, you taught him a lesson last time, he has been much more behaved. Recently, he has been grounded as a punishment. If you wish to control Zhou Weijun, this Zhou Tianfang might be a useful pawn!"

Chu Mo listened quietly to Jiang Tao's report. He didn't rush to make any decision but took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

The struggle between the Zhou brothers was a mire originally, and if it weren't for the shadow of the eight great families, he would not have intervened. Taking the initiative now was driven by necessity.

Regarding Zhou Weijun, Chu Mo had not yet decided whether it would be better to grasp his weaknesses and threaten to use him, or to honestly cooperate and help him take full control of the Zhou family's industries, thereby gaining another ally.

After a moment's silence, Chu Mo suddenly asked,

"I've had a few dealings with Zhou Weimin, but I have never met this Zhou Weijun. What kind of person is he really?"

Hearing this, Jiang Tao immediately shook his head slightly and said,

"To Mr. Chu, Zhou Weijun has always kept himself well-hidden. He never appears at various public events, so few have had dealings with him. It's difficult to judge his character."

Chu Mo nodded slightly. He knew that in general, family matters were handled publicly by the Family Head, Zhou Weimin, while his brother Zhou Weijun always lurked in the shadows. It was normal for Jiang Tao to be unaware of him. However, considering that Zhou Weijun could engage in a fight to the death with Zhou Weimin, he must have strength, certainly not just superficial swagger.

Such a person, if possible, should be won over!

With this in mind and a glint of sharpness in his eyes, Chu Mo said indifferently,

"Arrange a meeting for me with Zhou Weijun. If he has some capabilities, I might consider funding him to retake control of the Zhou family industries. But if he doesn't take the bait, then I'll grab his vulnerabilities and make him a puppet!"

The man opposite, Jiang Tao, immediately nodded and respectfully said,

"Rest assured, Mr. Chu. I will arrange a meeting with him right away."

Chu Mo waved his hand lightly, and the towering figure of Jiang Tao slowly disappeared from the living room. It was only then that the bodyguard leader, Fan Gao, who had recently recovered from an injury sustained in the Zhongzhou arena, stepped forward and said in a low voice,

"Mr. Chu, whether the information from the Lin family is accurate or not, we have no way of knowing. If the Lin family has any ulterior motives, this could be a trap they've set for us...!"

Chu Mo looked at Fan Gao by his side. This powerful man once had the strength just shy of a Grandmaster, and although he had declined somewhat in strength since his injury, the powerful aura he exuded had not lessened one bit.

Taking a deep breath and rising from the sofa, Chu Mo said calmly,

"Lin Youzhi has no way out now. The eight great families have made many promises to the Lin family on the surface, but most of these promises are empty words. When it comes to core interests, the families will never deliver. If the Lin family continues to follow the eight great families, it can only result in their downfall—an outcome Lin Youzhi must be clear about.

If he doesn't want to see the Lin family destroyed, his only option is to work with me. I believe Lin Youzhi will not fail to understand the importance of this relationship.

Besides, even if the Lin family does harbor double intentions, they wouldn't dare to deceive us regarding the matter between the Zhou brothers. This is something that can be verified easily. Lin Youzhi would not be so reckless!"

Upon hearing this, the tall figure of Fan Gao nodded slightly then spoke no further.

Chu Mo flexed his body gently and suddenly asked,

"How are the forty-nine female bodyguards we recruited last time doing in their training now?"

Fan Gao, with a respectful expression, bowed again, and said with utmost seriousness:

"Mr. Chu, these individuals are currently being trained by Chen Yue, the chief instructor of the Golden Phoenixes. They are making progress every day, and in at most one month, they will be able to take on major responsibilities on their own. Additionally, we are in the process of recruiting the second batch of female bodyguards.

This time, many professional bodyguards from the Phoenix Bodyguard Company have joined, and the overall quality is even higher than the previous forty-nine."

Chu Mo nodded lightly, and remarked casually:

"Each of the Golden Phoenixes has considerable strength, test her loyalty as soon as possible, and if there are no issues, send them to be by the side of our various spokespersons!"

Chu Mo gave the order indifferently, then he walked toward the door of the grand hall. At the same time, five or six maidservants immediately bent over to serve him.

...

Two hours later, Chu Mo received a phone call from Jiang Tao; Zhou Weijun, the second son of the Zhou family, had agreed to meet with him.

Neither Chu Mo himself nor Zhou Weijun wanted this meeting to be public, so they both chose to meet in a concealed place.

At four in the afternoon, Chu Mo did not take his conspicuous Maybach, but directly got into a Porsche with a Suzhou license plate, and headed toward the port street in the Zhongcheng District.

The blue Porsche zoomed by. Though it was fast, it was absolutely stable. When the car slowly came to a stop and Chu Mo got out, he looked up and saw the ancient and elegant sign of the tea house on the street.

Tianyuan Tea House!

This was a very high-end social venue. In a place as expensive as Magicopolis, especially when this tea house was located in a bustling commercial district, it meant that the consumption here would definitely not be cheap. At Tianyuan Tea House, even the simplest cup of tea cost 888 RMB, and there were teas costing tens of thousands or even over a hundred thousand RMB as well.

Tianyuan Tea House was not owned by either Chu Mo or the Zhou family. Meeting here wouldn't attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, making it a rare quiet place. In Magicopolis, when big bosses entertained guests who were fond of tea culture, they would bring them here.

After getting out of the Porsche, Chu Mo was only accompanied by Jiang Tao, without the usual pomp and circumstance. As soon as they arrived on the first floor, a breathtakingly beautiful woman with a smiling face approached to greet them.

The woman's elegant eyes were as clear as water, her nose was particularly attractive, and her mouth was like a tiny cherry. Her long brown hair fell like a waterfall, topped with a pink sun hat.

Dressed in a white spaghetti-strap dress, it was dotted with small red spots, and the hem had a circle of lace; she wore a white coat on top, creating an astonishingly stunning effect.

Chu Mo was momentarily struck with emotion, thinking that the little tea house hostess turned out to be a big beauty with ninety-seven points, when suddenly it clicked in his mind:

"You must be Tao Yingying, right!"

The woman with the long brown hair immediately covered her mouth and giggled. Her voice was sweet as she said:

"I never thought Mr. Chu, such a busy person, would actually recognize a minor figure like me. I haven't even had the chance to thank Mr. Chu for arranging the role for me. I have long aspired to work with Director Lin Hua, and Mr. Chu has truly granted me a wish!"

Chu Mo smiled lightly and nodded. He replied lightly:

"That's all due to Ms. Tao's own strength, and I am very much looking forward to her performance."

At these words, the radiant woman before him smiled charmingly, and then, the woman of exquisite beauty stepped aside and said:

"Mr. Chu, please, Mr. Zhou has been waiting for you upstairs for quite some time."
