Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 364 - 253: Gathering of Tycoons on the Forbes List
Chapter 364: Chapter 253: Gathering of Tycoons on the Forbes List
In front of Capital City’s World Trade Tower, a Rolls-Royce Phantom and a Bentley quietly stood behind Chu Mo, while Fang Lihu, the deputy captain of the bodyguards who towered at two meters and thirty centimeters, kept watch with four other tall bodyguards.
Chu Mo gently slipped the bracelet worth twenty-seven million onto Yang Xuan’s wrist—pale, delicate, and tender as jade. The bracelet, embedded with one hundred and ninety-nine small diamonds and fifty-five gemstones, shone brilliantly in the sunset, reflecting dazzling light like the world’s brightest treasure.
Earlier, in the exhibition hall, Yang Xuan lingered a long time by this diamond bracelet. Chu Mo thought she liked it, so he casually picked it up for her.
“It’s beautiful, and it suits you well.”
On Yang Xuan’s left hand was an eighty million gemstone ring, and on her right wrist was the twenty-seven million bracelet. Despite her plain clothing, the mere two pieces of jewelry on her were worth over a hundred million, befitting her stunning beauty!
The blushing Yang Xuan, in a long dress, quickly glanced at the dozen or so tycoons behind Chu Mo and didn’t entangle him further, saying in a clear voice:
“You have important business to attend to, and I need to go back to school. I’ve already missed half a day of classes this afternoon, and it’ll be hard to explain if I return late.”
Chu Mo sighed softly. He had planned to spend a good day with Yang Xuan today and to have a romantic candlelight dinner with her in the evening.
But with over a dozen Capital City elites including Liu Wei, the young master of the Liu family, and Lu Zhenhao, the head of the Lu family, inviting him to dinner, it was hard to decline. So, the candlelight dinner with Yang Xuan had to be postponed.
Chu Mo’s gaze fell on Yang Xuan’s two classmates. He walked up to the handsome Lu Yuan, reached out his hand with a smile, and said:
“Classmate Lu, I entrust our Yang Xuan to the care of you and her fellow classmates from now on!”
Chu Mo had said this the first time they met. Faced with this declaration of possession, Lu Yuan had been quite dissatisfied before.
Now, he looked at the ravishing Yang Xuan complexly before shaking hands lightly with Chu Mo, his voice slightly emotional:
“Mr. Chu from the Magic City… rest assured, I will take good care of Yang Xuan. If anyone dares to have designs on her, they will have the entire Lu family to answer to!”
With these words, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, and his eyes cleared of any internal struggle.
He shook hands solemnly with Chu Mo, then obediently stepped back.
He didn’t dare be anything but obedient; his father, Lu Zhenhao, was watching from the crowd. After realizing his son was interested in Yang Xuan and learning Chu Mo’s identity, Lu Zhenhao had sternly warned Lu Yuan never to harbor any ideas about Yang Xuan, or he would break his legs and throw him out of the family!
Lu Yuan had never seen his father this serious, but he knew Lu Zhenhao was a man of his word.
Thus, Lu Yuan’s unrequited crush was decisively severed before it could even begin!
Finally, Chu Mo nodded toward Yang Xuan’s best friend, and amidst the girl’s conflicted and curious expression, the three talented Shui Mu University students left in a Porsche just as they had arrived.
Once the Porsche merged into the traffic and gradually disappeared from sight, Chu Mo withdrew his gaze. He turned towards the group of top tycoons behind him and said in an even tone:
“Gentlemen, I’m new to Capital City and unfamiliar with the place, so from now on, I’ll rely on all of you to make decisions!”
“Haha, Mr. Chu, don’t worry. Capital City is our turf, and we’ll definitely make sure you’re comfortable and satisfied!”
Lu Zhenhao’s hearty laughter rang out, immediately followed by a chorus of agreements.
At that moment, Liu Wei, the young master of the Liu family, beckoned with a beaming face:
“Everyone here, count yourselves in. Let’s talk at Chang’an Club.”
Chu Mo nodded, and Fang Lihu opened the door of the Phantom for him. Just as Chu Mo was about to enter the car, he saw He Xinyi, who had been quietly standing in the crowd, stepping forward toward him!
This fiery woman didn’t care about others’ thoughts; she walked directly to the other side of the Phantom, opened the door herself, and then ducked into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce.
Seeing that the group of tycoons behind him also entered their cars, Chu Mo didn’t linger and took his seat as well.
This time he didn’t need to use navigation; someone naturally led the way. The Rolls-Royce simply had to follow the motorcade.
Just as the Rolls-Royce started, Shen Xinyi already leaned forward, glancing occasionally at Chu Mo’s profile. She then picked up the Heart of the Ocean necklace around her neck and said in a seductive voice:
“Does it look nice?”
A hundred and twenty million worth of item, to say it’s not beautiful would be a denial against one’s conscience.
Chu Mo looked at her fair neck, the woman’s neck beside him was quite slender; it was just a shame that she wasn’t wearing the type of dress that could perfectly reveal her collarbones, so the entirety of the Heart of the Ocean had to be tucked inside her collar, which was somewhat discordant.
But it didn’t detract from her allure.
Looking into her peach blossom eyes, which seemed as if they could drip water from the plump moisture within, he replied with a light laugh:
“It’s beautiful, and it suits you well!”
“I feel the same way… You didn’t see how Yuan Yuan’s eyes bulged out when I put on this Heart of the Ocean just now!”
The girl beside him radiated with joy, then suddenly wrapped her arms around Chu Mo’s arm, her whole body leaning against him, as He Xinyi raised her eyebrows and said:
“Little Puppy, can I ask you a question? You can’t get mad, okay? Who were you planning to give that jade necklace to? Besides me and that little underclassman from Shui Mu University, is there another woman who’s even more important in your heart?”
He was momentarily speechless.
Chu Mo was taken aback by her boldness; such words could only come from this fiery girl. He knew a number of women, but none so audacious as her.
Even just now, when Zi Xuan saw him cozied up with Shen Xinyi, she had not asked a single question.
As for the other women in his life, be it the maid Qin Zixuan, or his co-tenant Yang Xuan, and even the youthful-looking Tao Yun from the University of Science and Technology, they were mostly docile in front of Chu Mo, never daring to go against his wishes.
However, experiencing this overpowering feeling, that of being completely dominated by a woman for the first time, Chu Mo didn’t find it unpalatable.
In fact, back at his home, it was his mother who ran the household; she decided on everything, and even his father was utterly subdued by her all his life.
Chu Mo grew up in that environment, so he didn’t particularly dislike Shen Xinyi’s brashness.
He turned his head to glance at the exquisite gift box in the backseat of the Rolls-Royce. Inside that box was the exhibition hall’s showstopper piece, an emerald necklace worth 1.2 billion.
After thoughtful consideration, Chu Mo gently caught He Xinyi’s wandering hand, and he softly said:
“There isn’t necessarily someone I must give it to; maybe I’ll give it to my mom, or maybe… to my future wife!”
As Chu Mo spoke, the light in the girl’s eyes brightened. Her little hands, never one to stay put, broke free from Chu Mo’s grasp and once again began to rove over his body, as she giggled:

“So, there’s no woman who has truly entered your heart yet? I’ve got to work harder then. Little Puppy, you’re mine, the kind you can’t run away from!
Ha ha, I really thank heaven for sending you, Little Puppy, to me. Now I also have a boyfriend, and let’s see who dares to call me ‘Immortal He’ from now on!”
Pressing her cheek against Chu Mo’s arm, He Xinyi beamed, her delicate, nimble hands making small movements. Chu Mo was so titillated by her teasing that he felt an all-consuming heat—if not for the bodyguards in front, Chu Mo might have been unable to resist taking her right there in the car.
Fortunately, the destination wasn’t far; the Chang’an Club was located in Tian’an Square, at number 10 on Capital City’s East Chang’an Street.
Housed within Chang’an Tower across twelve floors, the Chang’an Club was overseen by Asia Fellowship International Holdings, connected with over 250 clubs globally, committed to establishing a platform for international corporate and domestic business exchanges, emphasizing both local and international communications.
Since its establishment in 1996, Chang’an Club has become the top-tier membership club in Hua Country.
Compared to other high-end clubs, Chang’an Club particularly prioritizes absorbing local success stories, with a concentrated member age group of around 30 to 50 years old.
Over 60% of the club’s members have an average annual spending power of 1 to 2 million, including senior executives from multinational corporations like Apple and IBM, business celebrities, foreign ambassadors, and cultural icons.
As a series of luxury cars slowly stopped in front of the spacious entrance of Chang’an Tower, figures like the Liu family’s young master Liu Wei, head of the Lu family Lu Zhenhao, and other top magnates stepped out of their cars; simultaneously, a group of smartly dressed men and women emerged from the building.
Among these figures, some were individuals that even the immensely wealthy Lu Zhenhao, with a net worth of 390 billion, greeted proactively.
And then, as the Rolls-Royce Phantom and Bentley came to a halt, six tall bodyguards immediately took up positions around them on alert.
Chu Mo, inside the car, did not get out right away; the woman beside him had just aroused him, leaving him somewhat breathless, his heart pounding erratically. He was now taking a moment to breathe and compose himself.
But He Xinyi, the restless one at his side, was impatient. She peered through the car window, and upon seeing the group of top magnates at the entrance of Chang’an Tower, her eyes widened.
Being herself one of the top socialites of Capital City, He Xinyi was accustomed to attending elite gatherings. Although she was far from matching those top magnates, she recognized who they were; familiar with the circles of Capital City, she knew them, even if not all of them knew her.
And now, she stared wide-eyed at the figures at the building’s entrance. After a long moment of swallowing hard, the feisty girl whispered:
“That… Is that Zhang Dahua, the richest man, the chairman of Shangyuan Entertainment Ren Wenxuan, and the chairman of Alibaba Ma Yu… They can’t possibly be waiting for us, can they?”
Chu Mo turned his head to look through the glass of the car at the figures at the entrance of the opposite building. He had an indifferent relationship with the tycoon Zhang Dahua, but his son Zhang Dongdong worked under Chu Mo. Chu Mo owned Tianxiang Garden, which belonged to Zhang, and although the two had never met in person, they had interacted quite a bit.
Ren Wenxuan from Shangyuan Entertainment had a flourishing partnership with Chu Mo’s Shi Yuan Entertainment. Currently, Shangyuan Entertainment was the number one company in the entertainment industry of Hua Country, and Chu Mo’s Shi Yuan Entertainment had climbed to the top three. The two had a good personal relationship!
As for Alibaba’s Ma Yu, Chu Mo’s only interaction had been through Lu Ye from the Magic Capital, working with one of his subsidiaries. Strictly speaking, they had never spoken directly.
Beyond these three top Forbes list billionaires were a line of other billionaires worth from a hundred billion to a trillion, all queuing up and waiting.
Having composed himself, Chu Mo took a deep breath, patted He Xinyi’s hand, and, with an equanimous smile on his face, stepped out of the car.
At the entrance of Chang’an Tower, the chairman of Shi Yuan Entertainment, Ren Wenxuan, beamed cheerfully, and the billionaire stepped forward proactively, his voice booming warmly:
“Chairman Chu, we’ve been waiting for a long time!”
