Trillionaire's Slice of Life

At 8 p.m., the banquet officially began. As the focus of everyone's attention, Yang Tianxia naturally had to deliver the opening speech. Following his departure, the magnates by his side also had many people and matters to attend to, before eventually dispersing.

Chu Mo finished the last drop of red wine in his tall glass and was about to gesture to a waiter in the distance when Fang Nianhan, who had been silent behind him, suddenly stepped forward. With a smiling face, she took the empty glass from Chu Mo's hand and quite naturally replaced it with a full one for him.

Chu Mo took the glass from her soft hands. When his fingertips unintentionally touched her supple, boneless hand, he noticed that Fang Nianhan looked somewhat excited at the moment, her bright eyes fixed directly on him.

"Thank you!"

No sooner had Chu Mo uttered his words of thanks than a breathtakingly beautiful woman beside him, known as one of the Four Goddesses of Capital City, whispered:

"Mr. Chu... it's true that you're from a different world than us. After today's experiences, I suddenly realize how naive I used to be. Only by following someone like you can I discover just how vast this world really is. How laughable it is that we, the second-generation rich, used to think so highly of ourselves.

Only today did I understand, when compared with you, Mr. Chu, we are truly wasting our lives!"

Fang Nianhan's admiration was apparent in her gaze. If previously on the yacht her greatest impression of Chu Mo had been mere curiosity and appreciation, now, after mingling with the great tycoons, her heart was filled with nothing but endless adoration for Chu Mo.

Any man would undoubtedly feel a sense of pride in his heart upon receiving such love and longing from an extremely beautiful girl with a 98-point visage. Although Chu Mo was already immune to the allure of beautiful women, at that moment he felt a kind of serene pleasure.

He slightly curved his lips, a tender smile appearing on his handsome face as he said:

"Actually, I am quite optimistic about your Guangsha Bodyguard Company. As long as you have confidence in yourself and are willing to work hard, you will certainly achieve success. I will send someone to your company to offer guidance and may even invest a few billion in it—tens of billions are not out of the question either."

Upon hearing Chu Mo's words, light intensified in Fang Nianhan's eyes.

Her Guangsha Bodyguard Company had originally been a spur-of-the-moment venture, with merely five or six hundred million in assets—money that consisted only of her allowance accumulated over the years. To her, the success or failure of the entire company was of no consequence.

Even if she were to fail miserably in the end, it would mean nothing more than the loss of some pocket money to her, and it would not affect the Fang family in the slightest.

Fang Nianhan had not been too concerned about her Guangsha Bodyguard Company, leaving its management mostly to her assistant. However, now, upon hearing that the young man before her might inject ten billion or even dozens of billions into her company, for the first time, she felt an urge to achieve something great.

In the past, she lacked the capital and the power. With four brothers in the family, Fang Nianhan would never inherit the twenty billion fortune of the Fang family. No matter her ambitions, she could not escape the fate of an arranged marriage for the sake of the family's interests. That was why she had been so indifferent to her pursuits.

Now, with a goal and hope in mind, a fierce determination surged within Fang Nianhan. She wanted to prove to her family that even as a girl, she could build a successful enterprise. Even if the family provided no resources, she was resolved to carve out her own domain.

With a force that would be acknowledged by her family, she could escape being controlled for the family's gain and the fate of an arranged marriage to some unknown rich heir, ultimately changing her own destiny.

Looking at the tall, handsome young man before her, Fang Nianhan believed his words. He was the sort of tycoon who wielded enough power to lay out a hundred-billion-dollar empire with a wave of his hand, a man whose casual decisions could purchase skyscrapers worth tens of billions.

To this young man, a few billion or even tens of billions were but grains slipping through his fingers, a trivial matter.

Fang Nianhan did not doubt his sincerity because, for this man, such a sum wasn't even worth lying about.

At that moment, while Fang Nianhan wore a face full of anticipation, Situ Lichun behind her was clenching her teeth slightly.

She had been the top star at Shangyuan Entertainment and Ren Wenxuan's woman. Normally, wherever Ren Wenxuan went, she should be by his side.

However, as she watched Ren Wenxuan walking towards several top tycoons with a smile and cautiously exchanging pleasantries, Situ Lichun did not immediately follow. Instead, she hesitated and turned her gaze toward the young man in front of her.

She did not know much about Mr. Chu of Modu. Her status was not high enough. Although she was a top-tier superstar in the entertainment industry, in the world of capital magnates, she counted for little. Even compared with Fang Nianhan, the daughter of the Fang family with twenty billion in assets, she felt somewhat lesser.

As Hua Country's top superstar, Situ Li Chun should be the center of attention wherever she went. Outside, countless fans would likely go crazy just to get her autograph.
