Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Mr. Chu, here is Wang Guangju's information. Due to the tight schedule, this is all we could find. Some confidential information will still take some time,"

Jiang Tao, who stood at an imposing height of two meters and ten centimeters, was dressed in a light blue suit. His eyes, sharp as brass bells, gave off a ferocious, beast-like aura.

In the Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One's grand hall, Chu Mo was quietly sitting on the sofa, flipping page by page through the freshly inked documents containing detailed information about the international superstar Wang Guangju.

After returning from Shi Yuan Entertainment, Chu Mo had called Jiang Tao, asking him to gather as much information on Wang Guangju as possible. They had an appointment at seven o'clock that evening, and it was already six twenty.

He didn't have time to examine it closely; after all, he was the one requesting a favor, and being late for their first meeting would make a poor impression. After giving a brief order, he immediately stood up and headed toward the villa's main entrance.

The head of the security, Shou Bo, had gone to send off Tao Yun and had not yet returned. Jiang Tao, the detective agency's leader, stayed closely behind. The Rolls-Royce Phantom at the door was already running, followed by a Cayenne, which belonged to the detective agency.

Chu Mo got into the back of the Phantom, Jiang Tao sat in the passenger seat, and Chu Mo, picking up the documents once more, commanded without looking up:

"Let's go."

The Rolls-Royce started moving smoothly, and inside the car, Chu Mo intently continued to peruse the documents in his hand.

Wang Guangju was a rare Hua Country superstar who had successfully broken into the international entertainment scene. This thirty-eight-year-old had been a child actor with parts in many major films, once hailed as the hottest child star in the entertainment industry.

He was Hua Country's only 'Twenty-Billion-Yuan Emperor', with the highest cumulative box office of all the stars in Hua Country.

To date, Wang Guangju had starred in one hundred and thirty movies. Of these, he personally directed and acted in thirteen, with five reaching the pinnacle of the world's film industry.

Without any exaggeration, in addition to being a top-level actor, Wang Guangju was also a world-renowned director.

Simply put, if Wang Guangju were to be compared to a professor, then Zhou Weimin, the middle-aged director he met yesterday, would barely rank as a high school student at most. The gap between the two was immeasurable.

Of course, Wang Guangju's achievements didn't end there. He was an Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, with numerous awards to his name.

As the leader among Hua Country's four Heavenly Kings, he also held the title of Chinese-language music king. He was the only artist from Hua Country to be referred to as a 'Versatile Mega Star'.

If he could persuade this man to join Shi Yuan Entertainment, the company would truly skyrocket, simultaneously breaking free from its dependence on Tianhua Entertainment and paving the way to reach even greater heights.

That afternoon, in the company's conference room, the director named Wang Hua had greatly dissatisfied Chu Mo. From this incident, Chu Mo could roughly infer that in the co-tenancy arrangement between Shi Yuan and Tianhua, his company was definitely at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, with the Zhou family patriarch seriously ill and the second-generation leader, Zhou Weimin, on the verge of taking charge—and to date, Zhou Weimin had not made any statement regarding the companies' collaboration—the uncertainty made Chu Mo resolute in his decision to stop relying on the Zhou family.

Regardless of how the partnership with the Zhou family ended, strengthening one's own capabilities was always the right move.

Therefore, acquiring Wang Guangju for his company was now Chu Mo's most important task.

After a while, he closed the documents in his hand, feeling a trace of excitement stirring within.

It wasn't an exaggeration to say that Chu Mo grew up watching Wang Guangju's films; he was Chu Mo's only favored celebrity. Thinking about personally bringing such an international star into his own company, Chu Mo couldn't help but feel an unusual surge of excitement.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Taking a deep breath, he glanced through the car window at the bustling traffic on either side of the road, then shortly afterward, he closed his eyes.

Just as he intended to rest his eyes for a while, a pair of bright eyes, dazzling like the starry galaxy, appeared in his mind. Chu Mo, momentarily dazed, tried hard to recall and soon, an alluring face with a smiling mouth and tearful eyes flashed across his mind.

"How could I forget her."

Chu Mo reopened his eyes and murmured to himself, then glanced at his watch—it was six forty-five. It was already too late to go back for her. After a moment of silence, he suddenly instructed Jiang Tao, who was seated in front:

"Let the car behind us pick someone up for me. They're at Shi Yuan Entertainment. I will give you a number later, just have the security call it."

Jiang Tao in the passenger seat immediately nodded and took out his phone to contact the Cayenne that was following them.

At the next crossing, the Rolls-Royce drove straight on, while the previously trailing Cayenne turned back towards Shi Yuan Entertainment.

About five or six minutes later, the Rolls-Royce slowly stopped in front of an elegantly decorated café. Jiang Tao quickly got out to open the car door for Chu Mo. Stepping out, surrounded by the tall bodyguards Jiang Tao and Fang Lihu on either side, Chu Mo walked towards the café.

The meeting place was chosen by Wang Guangju. Chu Mo had never been here before. Upon entering the café, what struck him first was the warm and elegant atmosphere. The shop wasn't large, but it felt very pleasant to the senses.

Having made a reservation beforehand, he was led up to the second floor by the waiter.

The second floor was decorated with elegant, retro styling. Pure white wallpaper was adorned with ink-colored lotus flowers, gloriously blooming at the corner of the room. It didn't feel monotonous but instead conveyed a refined magnificence, with the exquisitely carved rosewood sofas still emanating the enduring scent of sandalwood.

On the porch hung billowing white gauze curtains, embellished with elegant ink wash designs.

Just one glance, and Chu Mo liked this place.

Chu Mo sat down at the second floor's window-side seating. Jiang Tao and Fang Lihu also found a quiet corner to wait.

He glanced at the time, 6:58 PM.

He hadn't arrived late, but Wang Guangju hadn't arrived early either. Given the situation, it was highly likely that the international superstar would be late.

Of course, Chu Mo didn't find it surprising. With Wang Guangju being an international superstar, his schedule was naturally tight. He couldn't afford the leisure and ease that Chu Mo had. Right now, he could be stuck in traffic or entangled in some other matter...

After ordering a cappuccino, Chu Mo, sitting by the window, quietly began to wait.

He wasn't in a rush; instead, he found himself wanting to enjoy this tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.

He didn't have to wait long. After about ten minutes, a tall figure with sunglasses and a mask appeared at the top of the stairs.

Chu Mo was slightly startled, then watched in awe as the stunning figure with dazzling black hair gently removed her mask and sunglasses.

Even though he had just seen that breathtaking face a few hours ago, he still felt astonished in this moment.

If Zhou Yuanyuan was like a rose with thorns, then this young lady could be described as a lily, noble and pure, with a fragrance that was pleasant and refreshing.

The girl at the top of the stairs, who originally wore jeans, had now changed into a white long skirt that flowed past her knees, tightly cinching her waist, highlighting her voluptuous curves. Bathed under the light, her extraordinary beauty was like a dream, making her appear as a beautiful phantom not of this world.

For an instant, Chu Mo felt he understood why she had fully armed herself with a mask and sunglasses. The moment she revealed her cheeks, the previously bustling and quietly chattering coffee shop went utterly silent.

She was like a resplendent sun, drawing all eyes to her wherever she went.

The girl named Ding Qian looked around before her eyes brightened upon spotting Chu Mo by the window. She didn't recognize her idol immediately, and a hint of disappointment flashed almost imperceptibly in her bright eyes.

However, she quickly adjusted her mood and, stepping forward in her high heels, strolled towards the window.

She wore a pair of light purple high-heeled sandals, making her already long legs look even more slender and straight. As she lightly stepped forward, an air of agility, elegance, confidence, and romance radiated from within her.

"Tap... tap... tap!"

Like a fairy walking on clouds, the sound of her high heels striking the wooden floor spread her unique aura of purity and dignity throughout the cafe.

In a corner of the cafe, a middle-aged man in a light blue shirt with a composed demeanor was sitting with his back to the staircase. Sensing something, he turned around with a puzzled face, searching through the cafe until his eyes fell on the figure opposite him.

The instant he saw the devastatingly beautiful woman, the middle-aged man who had been composed just a moment ago involuntarily widened his eyes, appearing completely dumbfounded.

In another corner, a trendy young man around twenty, who had been laughing and chatting with his girlfriend, noticed the sudden silence in the cafe and followed everyone's gaze.

In a moment, the smile on the young man's face disappeared, as if he had been ensnared by a spell, leaving him dazed and silly.

...

At this moment, the entire coffee shop, whether guests or waitstaff hidden in the corners, regardless of gender, all stopped in unison, and their gazes were focused on one spot.

A sprite? An angel or a goddess?

None of these seemed sufficient to describe her unparalleled elegance.

As everyone's hearts raced, the girl with the celestial beauty slowly made her way to the window of the coffee shop. When she gently passed in front of Chu Mo, he felt as though he could hear everyone's hearts shattering.

"I think I understand why you'd want to wear a mask and sunglasses," he said.

With a look of amazement still in his eyes, Chu Mo picked up his coffee and took a gentle sip. His own heartbeat was a bit faster, and he used the act of speaking to calm himself down.

"I don't dare to dress up when I go out normally. Today, because I was meeting my idol, I put on some light makeup. Don't laugh at me," the celestial-voiced girl's cheeks blushed as she spoke.

Her gaze shifted, then she leaned in close to Chu Mo as if to share a secret, whispering softly,

"So... has he not arrived yet?"

Knowing full well who she was referring to, Chu Mo took a gentle breath. As he caught a whiff of the natural fragrance emanating from her, he raised an eyebrow casually and said,

"He must be stuck in traffic, not here yet... What brand of perfume are you wearing? It smells quite unique."

Upon hearing this, the girl straightened up, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of red. She glanced at Chu Mo with her bright, gem-like eyes, then, seemingly embarrassed, she said softly,

"I don't wear any perfume..."
