Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Now, Chu Mo really didn't have much time left. According to the plan, Amy's concert would start at seven, end at nine-thirty, and then she would stay in Xiangjiang for one night, leaving the next morning to prepare for the next stop of her world tour.

He had already missed the opportunity before the concert started, and now the only time he could seize was the period after the concert ended at nine-thirty until she left the next morning.

Chu Mo quietly waited for news from Fan Gao as time ticked by. Perhaps because of the urgency, he suddenly felt that time was passing exceptionally quickly. He went to the restroom mid-way and took a moment to rest with closed eyes. Before long, it was already half past six. He had just received news that Amy's limousine had left the hotel for the stadium.

In half an hour, the concert would officially begin.

Chu Mo did not get up to go to the concert venue; he wasn't interested in the concert itself. He was only trying to get close to Amy because she was of some use to him.

There was still no news from Fan Gao. At this point, Chu Mo had to consider whether to use his connection to the Rothschild heir, Geng Pan.

Amy Belle was American, and the company she signed with was also in America. Although Chu Mo's power could not make much of an impact in America, the Ross family were the puppet masters behind the whole country. If the Ross family intervened, it wasn't just a minor Hollywood star who would have to give face, but even the head of the US might have to show them some respect.

Chu Mo's relationship with the Rothschild heir Geng Pan was quite good. The previous deal of twenty billion US dollars for buying an island had been a massive help to Geng Pan and was also the main reason he took the lead among the three heirs.

Moreover, after Li Fei went to America to expand his business, Chu Mo once again provided Geng Pan with financial support of ten billion US dollars, solidifying their relationship further. It could be said that Chu Mo just had to say the word, and Geng Pan would absolutely not refuse.

However, to employ the power of the Rothschild family for someone as minor as Amy Belle, wouldn't that be making a mountain out of a molehill?

Chu Mo knew that his relationship with Geng Pan was a delicate balance. Last time, he had used twenty billion US dollars to get Geng Pan's help in rallying dozens of the world's top scientists to come to Hua Country.

This time, he had used ten billion US dollars in exchange for Geng Pan's full support of his best friend Li Fei. The exchanges were reciprocal. If he were to call upon the Rothschild influence for a star, he was afraid he would have to pay a huge price again, which was not worthwhile.

Chu Mo calculated incessantly in his mind and as he wavered, the time had reached eight o'clock in the evening. The concert had been going for an hour, and there was still an hour and a half left until it ended.

It was at this moment that Fan Gao, who had initially left, finally reappeared before him. The tall man said with utmost steadiness,

"Mr. Chu, I've accomplished the task as expected. We've used some methods, and finally swayed one of Amy's staff members. From now on, we will receive the news of any of Amy's movements at the earliest."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo nodded slightly. He took a deep breath, deciding that he should make one more effort himself. If it still didn't work out, then he had no choice but to tap into the power of the Ross family.

"But just knowing the other party's movements is not enough. If possible, it's best to prompt her to take some excessive actions on her own accord. That way, we can come up with targeted measures!"

Fan Gao in front of him nodded thoughtfully, but this time, he did not immediately agree, instead he pondered deeply.

Time passed again; at nine o'clock at night, there were thirty minutes left until the concert ended. Chu Mo didn't want to continue waiting meaninglessly, so he stood up and then instructed,

"Let's go, to the stadium!"

Upon the command, everyone in the restaurant rose simultaneously. In just a moment, the number of patrons had halved.

A few minutes later, a luxurious motorcade left the Peninsula Hotel, heading straight to the nearby stadium. However, as they got closer, the road became increasingly congested. By the time they reached the last traffic light intersection, the road was almost completely blocked, and the motorcade, which had been able to inch forward, now came to a complete standstill.

"Mr. Chu, there's a huge crowd in front of the stadium. These are all Amy's passionate fans. Since they couldn't get tickets, they can only wait outside the gates. We are less than five hundred meters from the stadium now, and once the concert is over, there will be tens of thousands of spectators pouring out, making it even more congested!"

Chu Mo nodded slightly. Through the car window, he could already see the towering stadium not far away.

As the largest venue in Hua Country, the Hua Country Stadium could accommodate seventy thousand people. Now, every seat in the stadium was filled with Amy's fans, not to mention the throng outside the stadium. The road in front of the stadium was completely blocked. Conservatively estimated, there were at least tens of thousands of people just outside.

"Indeed, as one of the world's top superstars, Amy Belle's fame is unmatched. It is said that Amy has over a billion loyal fans worldwide. If Lu Siyue really could get her to be the brand ambassador for the company, as long as her products aren't too bad, they would definitely become an instant global hit!"

Chu Mo mused quietly. This was the first time he truly felt the immense power of influence that an international top-tier celebrity could wield. Just within and outside the stadium, they had gathered hundreds of thousands of fans, and this was just in Hua Country. For a concert tour like this, she had already performed dozens of shows!

At that moment, Chu Mo suddenly felt that he might have underestimated the influence of these top-tier celebrities.

In Chu Mo's eyes, no matter the celebrity, they were all actors, mere pawns under his control, with their fates decided by his word. But now, having truly felt the unparalleled influence of a top-tier celebrity, he realized for the first time that once a star reached a certain level, she was more than just a simple actor.

People like Amy Belle were capital themselves and had the bargaining power to negotiate with capital.

The motorcade moved forward at a snail's pace. When they reached the front of the stadium, movement became utterly impossible. Chu Mo, sitting in the back of the sedan, waited silently. Not long after, amidst a thunderous cheer from the stadium announcing the end of the concert, the stadium doors opened. Then, like a tide, crowds poured out of the stadium, completely paralyzing the road.

Through the car window, Chu Mo could clearly see the excited faces of countless fans. The temperature in Hua Country was already much warmer than in other places, and he even noticed many people in stockings and short skirts. At this point, the motorcade was completely stuck, making a U-turn back impossible for Chu Mo.

Half an hour later, when the clock struck ten in the evening, the road in front finally cleared up. However, the front of the stadium was still packed with countless passionate fans who chose not to leave. Even though Amy would probably either speed past with a host of bodyguards or not stop at all, they still chose to wait.

Looking at the countless frenzied fans in front of him, Chu Mo could even imagine the hordes of fans backstage and at the dressing room door, and the fully-equipped journalists still encircling Amy. The superstar was probably finding it difficult to take a single step.

Chu Mo took a breath and was about to turn back to the hotel when Fan Gao, sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly received a call. After a moment, the call ended, and Fan Gao said solemnly:

"Mr. Chu, I just received information—due to the congestion of reporters and fans, Amy has slipped out of the back door of the stadium!"
