Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The woman holding a golden pen looked serious, about thirty years old, dressed in a fitting light blue business suit, carrying an air of dignified solemnity.

Chu Mo's mouth twitched slightly. As the behind-the-scenes big boss of the entire financial tower, strictly speaking, everyone here worked for him, including this meeting room, which was his own. Of course, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to say much. His gaze landed on Zhan Bingxue, and Chu Mo's eyebrows lifted slightly before he said with a smile,

"I came here to have a meal with your chairman..."

"A meal? Do you realize what time it is? The general manager of the financial tower has been dismissed, along with more than a dozen department heads from the Zhou family, leaving one-third of the management positions in the financial tower vacant. If this issue isn't resolved, the financial tower will be in chaos by tomorrow.

Moreover, if the cooperation with Tianfu Huacheng is not concluded, the company's performance will inevitably decline severely this month, which could even impact the image of the entire Bafang International Chain Hotel. The chairman personally ordered that if these two matters are not resolved today, the entire management won't be leaving the office.

If you want to go have dinner, be my guest, just solve the Tianfu Huacheng matter first."

Clearly dissatisfied with Chu Mo, who had suddenly barged into the meeting room, the woman holding the golden pen, both in speech and expression, radiated an unmistakable hint of gunpowder.

At this moment, Chu Mo noticed that the woman across from him was seated right beside Zhan Bingxue. To Zhan Bingxue's left was an empty seat, which was likely the vacant spot of the recently dismissed Manager Huang, and to her right, sat the intense, formidable woman.

It was clear that besides Zhan Bingxue, she was the third-ranking person in the entire financial tower in Magic Capital. Of course, with Manager Huang's departure, she should now be considered the second-in-command.

Considering this, it appeared she was deeply trusted by Zhan Bingxue. In reality, that diligent and responsible woman was also working for the better development of the financial tower in Magic Capital, and she was simply fulfilling her duties, all the while working for Chu Mo, the big boss behind the scenes.

Since she was working for him, Chu Mo naturally didn't want to make things difficult for her.

Chu Mo was aware that it wasn't just the financial tower that was short-staffed; in fact, the entire Bafang International Chain Hotel was in need of top talent.

The development of the Bafang International Chain Hotel was too rapid. As it continually took over one five-star hotel after another, the original management had mostly been dismissed. Naturally, this required an influx of new blood. Although Zhan Bingxue was always bringing in new management talent, it was still not enough to keep up with the pace of the hotel's expansion.

This was why the Zhou family had left their core personnel to help the financial tower through the initial transition period under contract.

The formidable woman in front of him must be Zhan Bingxue's right-hand woman. If Chu Mo were to dismiss her just for a slight confrontation, Zhan Bingxue would be livid, and he chose not to take offense. After a slight hesitation, he said,

"Uncle Zhang is still waiting downstairs. He would like to offer you a toast personally. Xiao Xue, how long will your meeting last?"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Bingxue, who sat at the head of the table, let out a soft sigh. She gently rubbed the bridge of her nose and then reluctantly said,

"We've only just decided on the company's personnel changes, and we haven't finalized the cooperation plan with Tianfu Huacheng. This plan has been discussed many times at meetings already without reaching a satisfactory outcome... At best, it's going to take a few hours, or it could even be possible that we won't have results all night..."

Zhan Bingxue, wearing a red dress, looked tired. However, she couldn't rest yet. She herself had declared that if the two proposals were not resolved, no one in the office could leave today.

As chairman, she couldn't go back on her word and lose face.

Chu Mo hesitated slightly. Uncle Zhang was still waiting downstairs, and all the credit had been given to Zhan Bingxue. If Zhan Bingxue didn't go, Uncle Zhang wouldn't be able to express his gratitude to his benefactor, and he would likely feel uneasy.

Furthermore, the dismissal of the hotel general manager and the departure of the Zhou family executives were a direct result of Chu Mo's actions, and it could be said that he was the reason for Zhan Bingxue's busyness. Although Chu Mo had said he would not interfere with the hotel's management, he was well aware of Zhan Bingxue's efforts.

Chu Mo had intended to give her a few days off to relax after she had finished dealing with the reception of the Rothschild family heir, but the hotel's issues were overwhelming, and Zhan Bingxue had not had a day off amidst it all.

Chu Mo himself lounging in his villa, leaving all the work to a young woman—wasn't that a bit excessive?

Seeing Zhan Bingxue's slightly pale face and tired eyes, he sighed softly and decided that at least for today, he would help her out so that she could end the meeting earlier, have a hot dinner, and then head home for a good night's sleep.

Having made his decision, Chu Mo no longer hesitated. He stepped forward quietly and pulled out a chair for himself, sitting at the lowest position in the meeting room, and casually asked,

"So, what exactly is going on with Tianfu Huacheng?" Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

The woman across the table, who was holding a golden pen, had clearly sensed something amiss. Even the chairman had to be courteous to this person, and she already had a vague idea of what was happening. Seeing Chu Mo sit at the conference table, she didn't dare say another word.

Zhan Bingxue sat up straight and looked directly into Chu Mo's eyes, speaking earnestly:

"Tianfu Huacheng is a subsidiary of the once wealthiest man in Hua Country, General Manager Ma's company, with a market value of thirty-five billion. They have a new project in their hands that is conservatively estimated to generate profits of over thirty billion in the next three to five years.

Our Bafang International Chain Hotel is interested in this project, but since Bafang International was recently established, we lack sufficient experience in this area. Tianfu Huacheng's intention to cooperate with us is not very high...!"

Through Zhan Bingxue's explanation, Chu Mo also roughly understood the ins and outs of the situation.

He was familiar with the wealthiest man, Zhang Dahua. If it involved cooperation with Zhang Dahua, a phone call from him would be enough for the other party to give him the benefit of the doubt.

As for the former richest man Ma Yu, Chu Mo hadn't actually interacted with him.

The latter was in the e-commerce business, while Chu Mo's focus was on hotels and the entertainment industry, with no overlap between the two, hence no contact naturally followed.

However, now that Chu Mo had intervened, he had to succeed in this matter no matter what. Otherwise, losing face in front of his subordinates was the lesser issue; losing his authority would be a real loss.

After pondering for a moment, the first person who came to mind was still the wealthiest man, Zhang Dahua. However, there had already been some unpleasantness between them regarding the last time he acquired Tianxiang Garden from Zhang Dahua's hands. He genuinely feared that Zhang Dahua might deliberately make things difficult if asked for help.

So, in an instant, he dismissed the thought of Zhang Dahua and the person who came to mind next was naturally Elder Lu.

Due to the deal with the Rothschild family's island and the two billion worth of antiques, Chu Mo's relationship with Elder Lu should be considered quite harmonious, and with Elder Lu's extensive connections, this matter should not be too difficult.

With this in mind, Chu Mo took out his phone and dialed a number. After two rings, Elder Lu's aged but hearty laughter came through and Chu Mo said without hesitation:

"Elder Lu, I really need your help with something this time. My Bafang International Chain Hotel has just started to step into the formal sector, and we're interested in a project under General Manager Ma Yu's control. But given our limited qualifications, they don't hold us in high regard, so I was hoping you could help us bridge a connection...

Oh, it seems to be one of General Manager Ma's companies, called Tianfu Huacheng, and they have a new project... Yes, precisely... Well, since you're familiar with General Manager Ma, then this matter... Great, we'll go with that. I'll have my people contact General Manager Ma directly, and we can settle on this!"

Elder Lu on the phone was very enthusiastic, likely influenced by Chu Mo's previous gift of the fifteen-billion-valued blood jade and thumb ring to Lu Siyue.

Indeed, favors were built through individual actions one at a time.

If Chu Mo had been a heartless businessman, he could have driven a hard bargain when faced with Elder Lu's hundreds of family heirlooms, taking advantage of Elder Lu's urgent situation at the time. Lu might have agreed, but that would have never earned Chu Mo Elder Lu's friendship, and certainly not the kind of relationship where a single phone call would bring immediate help.

Chu Mo hung up the phone; the entire call lasted no more than two minutes, yet the problem that had troubled the company for a long time was resolved with just one call.

Elder Lu had already made it clear to Chu Mo that he had a close relationship with Ma Yu. Before Ma became wealthy, he had also received guidance from Elder Lu. So, with just a word from him, there was virtually no doubt about this matter.

Chu Mo stood up lightly and headed towards the door of the conference room, saying without looking back:

"Uncle Zhang is still waiting for us downstairs; let's not keep him waiting too long. It's quite a hassle to invite someone to a meal. Let's go, the matter with Tianfu Huacheng has been settled."

In a room filled with puzzled high-level executives, Zhan Bingxue, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up gracefully. There was a rare touch of pleasure on her beautiful face, and she spoke in a relaxed tone:

"Meeting adjourned!"

As the words fell, watching the young man leave and stepping forward, Zhan Bingxue, like a cheerful young girl, quickly followed the young man's retreating figure with light steps.
