Trillionaire's Slice of Life

When the topic of Hong Kong comes up, the average person doesn't think of the Dragon Family, which leads the eight major families, but instead of Kowloon's bustling area of Tsim Sha Tsui.

The Peninsula Hotel, opened in 1920, is located here.

Known as the "Grande Dame of the Far East," the Peninsula's most conspicuous hallmark service is the fleet of 14 extended Rolls-Royce Phantoms for guest transportation.

The reason Chu Mo took an interest in it was that it's the only hotel in Hong Kong that offers helicopter sightseeing tours and pick-up services; with two helipads on the roof, it has the McDonnell Douglas MD902 Explorer helicopter, and is one of the most luxurious and expensive hotels in Hong Kong.

Another more important reason Chu Mo chose to stay here was that the target of this mission, international superstar Amy Belle, was staying here.

Amy's global tour's next stop was at the Hong Kong Stadium. According to the schedule, she would arrive in Hong Kong one day in advance. Chu Mo had already mastered her itinerary, so he arrived early to quietly wait for her arrival.

The Peninsula is a five-star hotel, boasting incredible ingenuity in style, architecture, and design that reflects the city's character and culture. Business travelers, newlywed couples, and family vacationers alike can all feel at home and completely satisfied.

Its advanced meeting facilities, surprising dining and social concepts, comprehensive programs for young guests, and bespoke guided tours also delight travelers of all kinds.

Perhaps there's a gap compared to Shanghai's seven-star Tianxiangyuan International Hotel, but the Peninsula Hotel has its own unique traits, offering 393 well-appointed luxury rooms, including 42 suites.

The hotel introduced Asia's first Bliss® spa; it also features two specialty restaurants, the highest rooftop swimming pool in Hong Kong, a modern gym on the 73rd floor, 8,200 square feet of top-tier convertible meeting and event space, and an unparalleled VIP lounge.

At this moment, Chu Mo was at Felix, a restaurant designed by world-renowned design master Philippe Starck, ranked among the top international fashion restaurants. Situated on the 28th floor of The Peninsula Hong Kong, its vibrant decorations and lighting, paired with the stunning and pleasant night view of the harbor, make it one of the most attractive restaurants in Hong Kong.

According to Chu Mo's investigation, the big star Amy seemed to have chosen this hotel because of its Felix restaurant. Chu Mo was waiting here precisely to "lie in wait for a hare," silently waiting for the superstar to come to him.

Chu Mo had gone to great lengths to create an opportunity to have a chance encounter with Amy. He had arrived at the hotel a day early and, after investigating her information, learned that the likeliest place she would show up was the Felix restaurant. He arrived early and set up a few small accidents so that when she appeared, Chu Mo was quite confident he could strike up a conversation with her.

As for what would happen after that, it depended on his ability to improvise on the spot.

As time ticked by, Amy had arrived at the hotel last night, and her concert at the Hong Kong Stadium was scheduled for seven o'clock this evening. It was rumored that the concert would attract seventy thousand fans from all over the world, implying an unprecedentedly grand event.

Chu Mo had been waiting all morning with no result, and now it was three in the afternoon, four hours before the concert. After downing four cups of coffee and five cups of tea, Chu Mo sighed lightly, feeling a belly full of water. He felt he might have been overly optimistic, as the closer it got to the concert time, the slimmer the chances became of Amy showing up here.

However, Chu Mo hadn't completely given up hope. His gaze continued to scan the area, hoping to spot that enchanting figure. The mini Felix bar at the restaurant drew in guests with its space theme, and its panoramic glass offered a 360-degree view, allowing guests to watch the ever-changing night scene of Victoria from dusk until evening.

In this not-so-cramped space, it felt like being at the center of a stage, with spotlights shining on the giant curtains, a symbol of the place, with a glowing floor, devoid of any decor.

Chu Mo gently touched the back of the chair behind him, which had been designed by Philippe Starck's partners and relatives.

Two hours later, at five in the afternoon, with only two hours left until the concert, Chu Mo completely abandoned his plan of having a chance encounter with her there.

He waved gently at the figure not far away, and soon, the tall silhouette of Fan Gao appeared in front of him.

Glancing at his watch, Chu Mo got up while speaking in an even tone,

"The plan to have a chance encounter has failed. There will be fewer and fewer opportunities to meet Amy from now on, so we must seize any chance that comes our way. We can't wait here foolishly anymore. We must take a proactive approach. Before the concert ends, at any cost, we need to get in touch with Amy's staff—I want to know her every move!"

The tall man beside him nodded respectfully, then quickly turned and vanished from sight.

Chu Mo had arrived at the Peninsula a day early, originally planning to create an opportunity to bump into her by arranging some small accidents and then stepping in to resolve them, in hopes of establishing a firm private relationship with her afterward.

Yet, while the desire was optimistic, the reality was that Chu Mo had waited all day and Amy hadn't once left her hotel room, throwing all his arrangements into disarray.
