Trillionaire's Slice of Life

At 7:50 pm, not far from the University of Science and Technology on a bustling street, Chu Mo stepped down from the Rolls-Royce Phantom and told the driver to wait nearby.

After taking out his phone from his pocket and dialing a number, the call had just connected when the other party hung up. As Chu Mo frowned, he saw two youthful and beautiful figures waving at him from not too far away!

It was indeed Chu Xiner and Song Xiaoxi, whose eyes bent into crescents when she smiled.

Putting the phone back in his pocket and holding a small gift box in his hand, Chu Mo leisurely walked toward the two girls. What he found amusing was that his cousin seemed awkward and unnatural upon seeing him, whereas the outsider, Song Xiaoxi, looked relaxed, friendly, and approachable!

"Chu, you\'re late, weren\'t we supposed to meet at the Sichuan restaurant at six o\'clock? We\'ve already played a round, and the little birthday star, Tao Yun, was even complaining that you stood us up!"

Song Xiaoxi, with her long hair over her shoulders, had eyes curved into crescents. Chu Mo glanced at her preppy style plaid pleated skirt paired with a pink knitted vest, exuding a youthful teenage vibe.

Indeed, he was late. Chu Mo didn\'t bother making excuses and simply apologized:

"My bad, I\'ll punish myself with a drink later as an apology to everyone!"

After greeting Song Xiaoxi, he gently stood in front of Chu Xiner. Looking at the girl in the pink chiffon spaghetti strap dress who seemed timid, especially after noticing her slight dark circles, Chu Mo didn\'t say anything. Instead, he gently touched the girl\'s ear tassel and said tenderly:

"Let\'s go, the birthday star is getting anxious. Let\'s head inside!"

Tao Yun\'s birthday party had already finished its first round.

They had eaten at the Sichuan restaurant before, and even shared the birthday cake, now gathering at the KTV for the second round to sing was already underway.

Actually, Chu Mo had set out an hour early, but on the way, he was called to the Bafang International Hotel by Zhan Bingxue.

Lin Hongqiang, Sun Shangwu, and the other four magnates were there. Naturally, the topic of discussion was still the distribution of shares in Bafang International.

Zhan Bingxue alone still lacked confidence, particularly in negotiations involving billions of funds. Even though Chu Mo had given her significant authority, in front of the four heavyweights worth billions, Zhan Bingxue still felt the pressure.

Her several attempts to negotiate were effortlessly brushed aside by the executives in front of her, so Zhan Bingxue had no choice but to seek Chu Mo\'s intervention.

As for Bafang International Hotel, Chu Mo didn\'t have a must-win determination; his initial intention of buying shares was merely to push Zhan Bingxue into the limelight using this opportunity. Success or failure had no impact on him, thus he was quite calm.

After meeting with the executives and enjoying a lavish and luxurious dinner, where no talk of hotel shares took place, Chu Mo, after adjusting his collar, said goodbye to them with a smile. When he and Zhan Bingxue got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom, they hadn\'t gone far before Zhan Bingxue\'s phone rang.

The executives were asking her for another discussion about the share distribution!

He dropped her off at the corner, and the Aston Martin following behind took her back to the hotel.

After that, Chu Mo put the matter aside completely.

They had understood his stance, and no matter what they discussed afterward, Chu Mo\'s bottom line was already set and would not waver in the slightest.

Naturally, this whole detour meant Chu Mo entirely missed Tao Yun\'s birthday celebration.

But fortunately, the second round at the KTV had only started a short while ago, and although he was late, the thought that counted was there.

Flanked by two youthful and beautiful girls on either side made Chu Mo the object of envy from many men.

Taking the elevator to the sixth floor, as soon as the doors opened, faint thumping music could be heard, and the mix of dreadful singing emanating from the private rooms sparked a profound nostalgia. Back in his university days, Chu Mo and his dorm mates would often frequent such places!

Ignoring the diligent reception at the front desk, Chu Mo followed the two girls down the corridor until they reached a room marked 666. Not in a hurry to open the door, Song Xiaoxi, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, suddenly asked,

"Chu, what gift have you prepared for Tao Yun?"

Song Xiaoxi was not usually the curious type. She came from a wealthy background with a monthly allowance exceeding ten thousand, and she never wore clothes worth less than ten thousand.

Her interest in the small gift box in Chu Mo\'s hand was solely because of the million-dollar lavish meal she had at his house last time.

What kind of gift would a super-rich guy give for a friend\'s birthday?

That\'s what Song Xiaoxi was really curious about!

Hearing this, Chu Mo, with a tinge of embarrassment in his eyes, shook the beautifully wrapped gift box in his hand and shook his head slightly,

"This... I\'m not quite sure, the butler prepared it for me!"

As Chu Mo\'s words fell, Song Xiaoxi, who had wanted to mock him, rolled her alluring eyes and pushed the room door open. As the booming music from the room began to play, this long-haired girl muttered to herself,

"We really don\'t understand the world of the rich!"

The door opened to reveal a large private room filled with people on two rows of sofas, and with a casual glance aided by the multicolored lights, Chu Mo scanned the room.

There were about a dozen people in the private room, men and women in equal numbers, but the first person Chu Mo\'s eyes fell upon wasn\'t Tao Yun, the birthday girl, but Zhou Yuanyuan, who had an icy demeanor.

She wore a pink long-sleeved top with some embroidered flowers, her eyes clear with a hint of aloof coldness, exuding an aura of high-class purity, coupled with printed jeans. Her delicate, almost devilishly handsome features meant that, even though Zhou Yuanyuan always had a cold face, there was no lack of enthusiastic guys around her!

Apart from Xin\'er and her three roommates, Chu Mo didn\'t know anyone else in the room, and thus no excessive pleasantries were needed.

On the small stage in the center of the room, two girls were singing with emotion while several rowdy youngsters in their twenties were clapping vigorously. Chu Mo, familiar with such scenes, didn\'t feel uncomfortable.

As an excited Tao Yun bounced over to him, Chu Mo handed over his gift with a smile,

"Happy Birthday!"

"Thank you!"

Tao Yun, with a smile in her eyes, took Chu Mo\'s gift with ease.

After exchanging a few words and offering his best wishes, Chu Mo had a couple of drinks before he had a chance to nod at Zhou Yuanyuan across the room, who was being pestered by a guy. Once she nodded back, he gently pulled Xin\'er along by the hand and headed for a corner spot to sit down!

He didn\'t come here for a birthday party.

The duet on stage had ended, amidst laughter and teasing, a guy with glasses took up the microphone. It was then that Chu Mo noticed Xin\'er next to him looking down shyly, her demeanor restrained and pitiful.

If he wasn\'t mistaken, this must be Xin\'er\'s first time attending a classmate\'s gathering and her first time at a KTV.

Chu Mo found the beer in front of him somewhat distasteful, took a sip, and put it down, then leaned back against the sofa. Because the room was indeed noisy, Chu Mo had to raise his voice a little,

"Xin\'er, are you not comfortable with the atmosphere here?"

Just when Chu Mo planned to take the opportunity to have a good chat with Xin\'er, a sudden exclamation erupted from the sofa opposite.

Tao Yun had just opened Chu Mo\'s gift box, sparking a commotion among a cluster of girls.
