Trillionaire's Slice of Life

```

The so-called wealth should not be flaunted. From Chu Mo's understanding of his hometown, for a family there to possess an asset of a million or so was already an extraordinary achievement, basically counting as a top-tier family. But an asset of a million was still within an acceptable range.

However, if any family had tens of millions in assets, that would definitely be an incredible thing.

Before leaving, Chu Mo reminded Uncle Zhang not to prematurely reveal the 28 million in his bank account. It would be enough to take out a million or so to build good houses for his two sons and to marry off daughters-in-law. The rest of the money should be spent slowly, drip by drip, not only to avoid jealousy from others but also to live a comfortable life.

Of course, this was just a small suggestion from Chu Mo off the top of his head.

Whether Uncle Zhang would follow it or not would depend on his nature. If he couldn't resist the loneliness and insisted on showing off all 28 million in his bank account, it would be fine if nothing happened. But if he aroused jealousy from others or got caught in someone's trap, it would be his own problem.

Even if he ended up bankrupt, Chu Mo might sigh over it but wouldn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy.

Of course, given Uncle Zhang's life experiences, being cautious and careful was more his character; he shouldn't come to that pass.

Chu Mo's reminder was only meant as a precautionary measure.

Having guests from the detective agency drive Uncle Zhang home, the matter was thus fully concluded, and naturally, Chu Mo could now explain to his own mother.

Chu Mo was raised on Auntie Liu's breastmilk, something his mother had mentioned many times before. Chu Mo knew his mother always felt indebted to Auntie Liu's family, which is why she called him to help Uncle Zhang at the first sign of trouble.

Now that Uncle Zhang's issue was resolved, the stone that had been weighing on his mother's heart finally dropped.

After sending off Uncle Zhang, Chu Mo didn't return to Emperor Xuan Villas, but instead stayed in the Financial Tower. He had booked a presidential suite for himself at the hotel on the 88th floor, and the room's large floor-to-ceiling window faced the opposite Central Building, the tallest building of the city at 632 meters.

He had done nothing the previous night except stand in front of the vast floor-to-ceiling window of the presidential suite, watching the tall building opposite for half the night, feeling increasingly fond of it the more he looked.

Chu Mo had a rather easygoing personality, usually going with the flow. He seldom took the initiative to pursue anything, the same was true for love as it was for material matters.

To be strict, whether it was planning a chain hotel worth hundreds of billions or entering the entertainment industry, it was all due to circumstance. Most of the time, he was forced by the situation to act accordingly, and he went along with it, which led to his current situation.

Acquiring Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel was because the seven-star hotel was right in the center of his layout, and even the purchase of the city's second tallest building beneath his feet was thanks to the push from the female tycoon Liu Manli, as well as the timely demise of the old Mr. Zhou Shixing from the Zhou family who wanted to sell the Financial Tower.

The Central Building across was different; ever since he had admired the night view here with the Rothschild family heir and then saw the city's tallest building up close, Chu Mo had felt a growing desire to own it.

This time, stepping onto the observation deck with Uncle Zhang and seeing the super-tall building once again, the fondness in his heart reached its peak, and Chu Mo harbored for the first time the thought of acquiring the building.

As someone like Chu Mo, who was generally free of desires, once he truly wanted something from the bottom of his heart, he would figure out a way to get it.

It was in his nature, of course, but most importantly, it was because the limitless credit card in his hand gave him the confidence to do so.

Without the limitless credit card, such a thought would be nothing more than a pipe dream, not even worthy of a daydream. But with the limitless credit card, he could put the idea into action immediately. Although it wasn't within easy reach, it was still a significant possibility.

'Ding…'

A series of doorbell chimes came from the entrance of the presidential suite, while Chu Mo sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window reading a book.

He turned his head, about to say 'come in', but he suddenly remembered this was not Emperor Xuan, and there were no butlers or maids to serve him here.

He took a gentle breath, placed the book on the coffee table in front of him, and stood up. Taking leisurely steps, Chu Mo walked to the door. Upon opening it, a graceful figure appeared before him.

"Mr. Chu!"

The person who appeared before him was the mature woman who had stood up to him in the conference room yesterday. Aside from Zhan Bingxue, she was the highest authority of the Financial Tower. Chu Mo had heard from Zhan Bingxue that her name was Dong Xun'er.

A very gentle and lovely name.

The woman wore a white body-hugging dress, with her cool makeup complementing a calm gaze, showcasing her distinct ladylike quality.

She was about 1.65 meters tall, and even in high heels, she appeared petite next to Chu Mo who was 1.82 meters tall. At thirty years old, with her rich life experience compared to the younger girls Chu Mo had encountered before, she possessed depth, elegance, and an air of strong independent confidence particular to a woman of position.

After Chu Mo opened the door and gave the woman a brief glance, he did not say much, instead directly walking over to the liquor cabinet, casually taking out a bottle of wine. Upon opening it, he poured two glasses. He held one glass and approached the woman, extending the other glass of wine to her.

The mature woman named Dong Xun'er had clear eyes. She did not take the wine glass from Chu Mo, but said very gravely,

"Mr. Chu, Director Zhan has already left, and now I am the highest person in charge of this 100-story building. We have 4,600 employees and nearly 16,000 guests. I am responsible for all of these people. Regardless of any issues that arise in the building, I must ensure to be at the scene of the incident first.

It is now working hours, and I absolutely do not allow myself to be intoxicated, affecting my work. After work, Mr. Chu, you can ask me to drink a whole bottle and I'll have no problem!"

The mature and charming Dong Xun'er looked solemn, not giving any concession or compromise because Chu Mo was the big boss. She stood firm and unflinching, neither sad nor happy.

Chu Mo, still holding the two glasses of wine, curled his lips slightly. Suddenly, he became curious about this woman and wanted to see where her limits were.

Therefore, he didn't give up there but lifted his right hand again, offering the wine glass once more towards the woman.

```

The woman in front of him clearly hadn't anticipated that Chu Mo, the big boss, would be so intensely assertive. She had thought that by clarifying her stance, even with the safety of the financial tower in mind, Chu Mo, as the big boss, should have let it go. However, she truly hadn't realized that Chu Mo would be so resolute.

Slightly squinting her eyes, with not a hint of anger or defiance on her beautiful face, Dong Xun'er maintained her composed expression. She bowed her head ever so slightly, yet she didn't reach for the glass of red wine within arm's reach.

"You still have one more chance!"

As Chu Mo's words fell, a flicker of emotion finally crossed the face of the woman opposite him.

Dong Xun'er had already known the true identity of the youth before her. He wasn't just the owner of the Finance Building in Shanghai, but also the Bafang International Hotel, Tianxiangyuan Garden, and even Shi Yuan Entertainment in the entertainment industry.

Dong Xun'er was certain that with just one word from him, she could be immediately fired, and it wasn't impossible that she would be blacklisted from the entire hospitality industry in Shanghai.

Taking a deep breath, Dong Xun'er's face turned solemn as her chest heaved slightly with disarray:

"Is it because I talked back to you in the conference room last night?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo's smile grew wider. Naturally, he wasn't so petty as to retaliate against one of his subordinates over such a minor incident from the night before. The reason he was acting this way was originally out of curiosity, but after being rejected multiple times, Chu Mo suddenly became eager to see the extent of the other party's capacity.

Without answering, Chu Mo simply gestured with the wine glass in his hand towards her again, saying indifferently:

"This is your last chance!"

Then, Chu Mo saw the woman in front of him suddenly reveal a smile and respectfully take the stemmed glass from his hand.

Chu Mo simply nodded slightly, without further comment.

The probing came to an end.

He lifted the red wine in his hand, took a gentle sip, and then spoke dispassionately:

"If you were stubborn and truly thought I would trouble you over such a trivial matter from last night, I would consider you someone incapable of adaptability, with limited generosity. Such a person might do as a deputy, but would never be fit to sit in the main seat."

As Chu Mo finished speaking, the woman behind him held the stemmed glass, bowed her head slightly, and felt a chill down her spine.

Dong Xun'er knew that the decision she had made in that instant could have already changed her life. If she hadn't taken that glass of wine, she might not have been fired, but she would never have had the chance to truly take control of the Finance Building in Shanghai.

The most likely scenario was that the Finance Building would bring in another General Manager, while she, as the Deputy General Manager, would still only be able to make suggestions without any real power.

Holding a wine glass, Chu Mo slowly approached the large floor-to-ceiling window. He paid no attention to the woman's complex feelings, speaking in his usual indifferent voice:

"How is the investigation going on the information you were asked to collect?"

Upon hearing this, Dong Xun'er immediately gathered her emotions and took two steps forward. She approached Chu Mo's side, her handsome face no longer impassive but now showing a hint of respect as she spoke crisply:

"Mr. Chu, as per your instructions, we investigated the Central Building overnight.

The Central Building in Shanghai is a super high-rise landmark skyscraper located in the Lujiazui financial district. It stands 632 meters tall with 119 floors above ground, resembling a guitar pick in shape. Each floor rotates nearly 1 degree as it rises, giving it a spiral appearance.

The 'Top of the World' functions as an experiential area with an urban display lookout, entertainment, a VIP mini bar, dining, observation decks for sightseeing, and meetings. The exterior of the building also features landscape lighting and themed light shows. In addition to normal lighting displays, it also complements the landscape lighting of the surrounding building complex..."

As the woman spoke confidently, Chu Mo lifted his red wine and quietly savored it. He wasn't particularly fond of drinking, and even the taste of the red wine worth hundreds of thousands in his hand was lost on him. However, at that moment, looking through the window at the Central Building so close by, he felt that the red wine was fitting for the occasion.

"The Central Building is owned by the Li family from Jiangnan, a formidable entity ranked fourth among Hua Country's great families, deeply entrenched in the Jiangnan region with profound connections. Rumors say the Li family's assets exceed a trillion..."

Suddenly, Chu Mo waved his hand to interrupt her, his gaze fixed on the Central Building in front of him as he spoke dispassionately:

"If I gave you a chance, do you think you could take down this tallest building in Shanghai?

If you can manage that, from now on, the Central Building will be yours, including the Finance Building below us and the third tallest building, the Jinmao Mansion. These three buildings, known as Shanghai's 'Triple Set,' will be under your management.

You will no longer have to take orders from Zhan Bingxue; you will be her equal in authority!

Are you interested in giving it a try?"

As Chu Mo finished speaking, the sophisticated and alluring woman bowed deeply. She raised the glass she had not touched until now and drained it in one go.

Then, with a hint of excitement in her voice, she said:

"Mr. Chu, I am willing to give my all to help you achieve your goal!"
