Trillionaire's Slice of Life

After dinner, Chu Mo brewed a cup of tea for everyone, and this time he didn't have to clean up the dishes—Tang Tang conscientiously went to the kitchen to take care of things.

"Chu Mo, I heard from Geng Pan of the Ross family that you bought Paradise Island from him with two hundred billion US dollars?"

It was already half-past nine in the evening. The lights outside were brightly lit, and Chu Mo had been busy all day with the school donation matters; he really wanted to relax at this moment.

Unfortunately, the elder in front of him was not one of his subordinates—if it were Zhan Bingxue, Chu Mo could dismiss him at will. However, facing Lu, whom everyone in Magic Metropolis revered, Chu Mo had to be fully alert. After taking a deep breath, he finally started to speak,

"Indeed, that did happen, but it can't be said that I just used two hundred billion US dollars to acquire the island. I'd made a private deal with the heir of the Ross family, and there's nothing to hide about it. It's about the Longevity Club; two hundred billion US dollars for Paradise Island along with a list of fifty top global scientists."

As Chu Mo's words fell, Lu gave a thoughtful nod and said softly,

"I see!"

Chu Mo picked up the tea in front of him, took a gentle sip, and then set the cup down. Seeing the old man opposite him in a contemplative state and not wanting to speak in riddles anymore, Chu Mo directly asked,

"Lu, you've come to me for something specific, haven't you? With our relationship, you need only speak freely."

In the past, whether it was the island affair or the heir of the Ross family's matter, it was this very Lu who had helped make the connections. Lu had unparalleled connections—not just in Magic Metropolis, but even throughout Hua Country and the entire world, influence that Chu Mo couldn't match.

Chu Mo would definitely need to rely on Lu's connections in the future. To say nothing of the distant prospects, just the contact with the Rothschild family was facilitated by Lu as a bridge.

Furthermore, his relationship with the Lu family's young miss, Lu Siyue, was quite good on a personal level. So, whatever it was, as long as it wasn't too troublesome and within his power to help, Chu Mo would lend a hand.

Chu Mo's expression was calm. The old man across from him sat up slightly and, after sipping his tea and nodding approvingly, remarked,

"Excellent tea!"

With his gaze fixed on Chu Mo and a complicated expression, Lu said gently, "Chu Mo, you should know that our four major families each have their own industries. The Zhou family of Magic Metropolis mainly operates in the entertainment sector, the Wu family focuses on real estate, the Lin family has the biggest enterprise that spreads across the country, dealing mainly in foreign trade.

As for our Lu family… have you ever heard of Leap Technology?"

Chu Mo nodded lightly. He hadn't really been aware of Leap Technology before, but having previously met with Lu, Chu Mo specifically asked Jiang Tao, the head of the detective agency, to gather information on Lu, thus he came to understand Lu's cornerstone enterprise, Leap Technology.

Leap Technology was a city operations management corporation with a market value of two hundred thirty billion, a provider of security products and industry solutions, ranking fourth in global security and first in video surveillance. However, according to the information Jiang Tao found, it seemed that Leap Technology was experiencing some managerial problems.

Chu Mo hadn't cared much at that time, but now, connecting it with Lu's previous actions of selling calligraphy and paintings, it seemed the troubles facing Leap Technology must be significant.

Nodding gently, Chu Mo who had already begun to piece together the answer in his mind, began to speak,

"I have some understanding, but not in detail. Lu, are you here because of the issues with Leap Technology?"

This time, Lu didn't hide anything and admitted,

"Indeed, that's the case."

As he spoke, Chu Mo felt a slight sense of relief.

He had been speculating the reason for Lu's call en route, initially thinking that the collaboration with the Rothschild family had encountered problems and that Lu, the intermediary, must have stepped in. Now that he knew it had nothing to do with the Rothschild family, Chu Mo settled his thoughts and said seriously, sitting up straight,

"Lu, given the relationship between us, you only need to speak. Whatever I can help with, I won't be vague about it."

A glint of resolve flashed in Lu's eyes as he sat across on the sofa, now regaining his solemn and serious demeanor, he nodded sincerely at Chu Mo, and then said gently, Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

"Due to my lack of focus on work over the years, the company has made a series of major strategic mistakes. Leap Technology is currently in a difficult situation and urgently needs a substantial amount of capital injection. Knowing of Leap Technology, you must also understand what this company means to our Lu family.

If Leap Technology fails, our Lu family will inevitably be greatly weakened, and the four major families of Magic Metropolis might even become three. For us, it would be nothing short of a disaster."

"At present, our entire Lu family is mobilizing all our resources to solve the problem, but the financial shortfall is still quite significant, so...!"

Before Lu could finish, Chu Mo interjected,

"How much are you short of? I'll make up the difference!"

The old man, visibly excited and taking a deep breath, nodded and said,

"No wonder Siyue told me you would certainly agree to help. Chu Mo, if our Lu family can survive this ordeal, we will not forget your kindness... Look, I'm not the type to take advantage of another's generosity. Over the years, my family's collection has also amassed several hundreds of treasures, which I will pledge to you.

Even if Leap Technology collapses, those treasures will more than compensate for your losses."
