Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 44: Chapter 042 Love and Career Choices



Back then, a twelve-year-old Chu Mo wrote hundreds of words in his essay. However, it all boiled down to one sentence:

If my wish could come true, I would like to have a big house in the biggest city…!

It has been a journey?

Well, it wouldn\'t exactly count as a full journey of hardships; rather, it was more like an unexpected twist. Thirteen years later, today, I found myself standing in the most luxurious hotel in the metropolis, in a presidential suite that I couldn\'t even dare to dream of back in the day, enjoying the luxury that costs seventy thousand RMB for one night…

This eighty-eight-story hotel could be considered a big house, right?

"Miss Wu, do you perform here often?"

In front of the vast floor-to-ceiling windows in the fifty-eighth floor\'s presidential suite, quietly admiring the brilliantly lit bustling city before me, the night in the metropolis was endowed with an enchanting charm that could captive anyone.

"Hmm? ... I guess I can\'t say I come here often; to be precise, this is my third time performing at this hotel."

Below the purple cheongsam, which perfectly highlighted her graceful figure, Wu Xinran\'s face blushed slightly. The girl, who was about one meter sixty-five and stood on her pink high heels, tilted her cheeks slightly upward.

When she realized her height just reached the chin of the man beside her, a glint of joy flashed in her eyes. This difference in height seemed just right for a head patting gesture…

Tearing my gaze away from the nighttime view outside the window, I turned and walked over to the liquor cabinet in the living room.

After casually selecting a bottle of red wine that looked reasonably decent, I opened it gently and poured a glass for both the girl and myself. Then, taking a slight breath, Chu Mo sat on the sofa and casually asked,

"Miss Wu, what\'s your impression of this hotel? You must have been to other star-rated hotels, right? Compared with them, is there anything different about this Bafang International Hotel?"

Two hours earlier, Chu Mo had asked Zhan Bingxue to keep the girl in front of him so he could inquire about the situation here.

After finishing the meal in the lobby, Chu Mo, accompanied by four corporate presidents, took a quick tour of the entire hotel. Of course, there was no time to enjoy any distinguished luxury spa services, which was somewhat regrettable for Chu Mo.

The whole tour lasted almost two hours and even drew the attention of a hotel general manager. With the general manager\'s company, the group even visited the kitchen, surveillance room, and many other areas not open to the general public.

With Chu Mo\'s experience, a quick two-hour inspection was not enough to fully understand the hotel. At the very least, he hadn\'t reviewed the hotel\'s financial statements, turnover, and other data. Of course, even if he had seen these documents, he might not have been able to spot any issues.

There is a speciality in academics, and this wasn\'t his area of expertise, so Chu Mo hadn\'t insisted.

After touring the hotel for two hours, the busy presidents left one after another. Naturally, since of the girl in front of him, Chu Mo chose to stay.

Aside from the Bafang International Hotel, Chu Mo really hadn\'t been to any other five-star hotels. So, there was no basis for comparison in his heart. However, the girl in front of him often performed in various high-end venues. Strictly speaking, her experience was much richer than his.

Therefore, Chu Mo was genuinely curious to hear her evaluation of the hotel!

Under Chu Mo\'s intense gaze, the girl, whose long hair was previously tied up and was now casually draped over her shoulders, and who had slender hands as delicate as white jade, gently bit her seductive red lips. Then, with her snow-white neck flushed, Wu Xinyi said absentmindedly,

"If I were to mention something special... This hotel invites talented people to perform every night, such as playing the piano, guzheng, guitar, and sometimes people also sing... And also, its location is very good, close to The Bund. At night, one can enjoy the stunning night view and such!" Continue your adventure with mvl

The girl, who was hanging her head low, obviously didn\'t understand his meaning. Chu Mo wanted to ask about any significant changes in the hotel\'s guest traffic, but when he saw her somewhat evasive gaze, he suddenly realized something and became embarrassed.

He had been focused on asking about the hotel\'s situation and hadn\'t considered the girl\'s position.

Now it was quite late, and here they were, a man and a woman alone together in a room, and moreover, in a hotel room—the sort most prone to misunderstandings…

Although Chu Mo had no strange ideas, the current atmosphere was clearly not right!

Especially after he noticed that he was still holding a very romantic glass of red wine…!

Placing the wine glass on the coffee table in front of him and straightening up a bit, Chu Mo tried to sound casual as he said,

"I\'m actually here to evaluate this hotel. I\'ve been planning to invest recently, so I wanted to ask someone familiar with the hotel about it. I\'m truly sorry for disturbing you, Miss Wu!

If you have something urgent, I can have my driver take you back!"

As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, the cheongsam-clad woman sitting quietly across from him on the couch immediately shook her head, but in her haste, a few drops of red wine spilled onto her jade-like hand.

Panicking, she put down the wine glass, and before Chu Mo could hand her a tissue, she instinctively extended her tongue and gently licked her glistening hand…!

"Cough cough…!"

Chu Mo swore he had not harbored a single inappropriate thought; his mind was filled with the matters of investing in the hotel. But now, as he sensed the beautiful ripples rising around him, and caught a glimpse of those enchanting red lips, his previously calm heart suddenly grew agitated. In this moment, the girl sitting before him seemed irresistibly beautiful!

"Um… The school gates close at ten. I can go back as long as it\'s before ten at night!"

The cheongsam girl, with her beauty score of ninety, rested her slender hands gently on top of each other, which suddenly reminded Chu Mo of a video about finger dancing he had seen online!

If this girl\'s fingers could dance, it would surely be a beautiful sight.

This thought flickered through his mind as he lifted his wrist to check the time—it was nine thirty-five!

There were still twenty-five minutes until the music academy closed!

Suddenly feeling a bit regretful, he thought that if he had come earlier, maybe…!

"I\'m really very sorry for bothering you today. How about this, I\'ll have the hotel issue you a diamond card later. With this card, you can enjoy various services at this hotel for free. Coming here occasionally to swim or work out can be quite nice. Please, don\'t decline; this is also a way for me to express my apologies!"

Not giving the girl a chance to refuse, Chu Mo got up gently and walked straight to the hotel door. Upon opening it, he saw a tall woman with a beauty score of ninety-five standing respectfully at the side!

"Arrange for the driver to take Miss Wu back to school. Also, have the hotel prepare a diamond card for Miss Wu. Tell the driver, if she can\'t get back because the school is closed, have him bring Miss Wu back to the hotel. Keep this room open; we won\'t check out tonight!"

After giving the instructions and watching Zhan Bingxue accompany the cheongsam girl away, Chu Mo returned to the room, picked up the red wine worth thirty thousand RMB from the coffee table, and strolled over to the huge floor-to-ceiling window. There, he quietly admired the bustling night scene unfolding before him, and his previously restless mind gradually calmed.

The night view here was indeed beautiful. If he could completely own this place, it would probably be a very romantic experience.

A few minutes later, the door was opened again, and the sound of high heels tapping on the floor grew nearer. Without turning around, his expression solemn, Chu Mo suddenly spoke,

"Manager Zhan, if you were faced with two options, love or career, which would you choose?

Don\'t rush to answer; think it over. Once you\'ve made up your mind, tell me your decision!"
