Chapter 365: Grand Opening
```
December 12th, 2020.
That was the day the grand opening of the Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store in the Magic City was set.
Today is the year of Gengzi, the month of Wuzi, and the day of Ji Chou.
Auspicious for: offerings to the gods, bathing, praying for blessings, opening ceremonies, starting businesses, and market launches.
Taboo: encoffinment, burial, cooking, moving in.
It was rumored that a mysterious tycoon in the Magic City had spent a fortune to open the Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store, which was located directly opposite the Lin Family's Supreme Jewelry flagship store, with just a street between them.
The Lin Family's Supreme Jewelry flagship store had three floors, with each floor measuring 1,000 square meters. In contrast, the newly opened Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store boasted sixteen floors, with each floor measuring 1,100 square meters.
The Supreme Jewelry flagship store of the Lin Family in the Magic City had thirty-five employees and tens of thousands of jewelry items.
The Bafang Kelai flagship store had one hundred and ninety employees, many of whom were stunningly beautiful waitresses transferred from the Bafang International Chain Hotel, including sixty-four waitresses just from the Tianxiang Garden Eighty-sixth Floor Three Major Themed Halls.
These waitresses, with their beauty scores above ninety, had undergone training and were temporarily acting as jewelry store attendants.
The Fan brothers, with their extensive influence, had even managed to recruit seven or eight extraordinarily beautiful women with beauty scores of ninety-five and above to bolster their ranks.
For the locals of the Magic City, this was a rare treat. Even if one bought nothing, just taking a tour of the new jewelry store to be greeted by the smiles of hundreds of guides with angelic beauty was an absolute delight!
Clearly, the opening of the new jewelry store was a direct challenge to the Lin Family's Supreme Jewelry store.
The Supreme Jewelry store was the Lin Family's enterprise, and the Lin Family was the proudest of the four major families in the Magic City, with assets totaling hundreds of billions. Even Zhang Dahua, the richest man, had to be polite in the presence of the Lin Family in Magic City.
Yet, the newly opened Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store dared to target the Lin Family directly. The implications behind this move were enough to give one chills just thinking about it.
Those in the know said that the Bafang Kelai was the creation of the Fan brothers from the Magic City, and behind the Fans was Mr. Chu, who recently made a name for himself throughout the entire Magic City!
The news spread far and wide, reaching everyone with a reputation in the Magic City. It seemed that a change was on the horizon for the Magic City!
...
On December 12th, at 8 AM!
In the dining room of Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One, Chu Mo had just finished a sumptuous breakfast, and the head maid He Qing gently wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin.
As Chu Mo gracefully rose, the butler Danny immediately followed him respectably. As Chu Mo left the dining room, including the two foreign maids Annie and Tina, a total of twelve maids bowed and greeted him in the hall.
Then, as Chu Mo arrived in the hall and gently raised his hands, all twelve maids got busy in an orderly fashion.
The petite bell immediately took off his coat, followed closely by the golden-haired, blue-eyed Tina, who helped Chu Mo into his custom-tailored suit. As Annie adjusted his sleeves, the head maid He Qing was already carefully approaching him with a wristwatch worth hundreds of millions!
The whole process was quiet, busy, yet utterly orderly. Five minutes later, when the impeccably cleaned golden glasses were placed on the bridge of his nose, all the maids bowed and stepped back, while only his personal secretary, Xia Xue, was left to give Chu Mo his final touches.
"How's the preparation going on the Fan family's side?"
Chu Mo glanced at his wristwatch, which was valued at 260 million, sparkling with an exceptionally dazzling luster. At this moment, the meteorite-crafted exclusive timepiece showed that it was 8:11 AM!
There were still forty-nine minutes until the opening of the Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store!

"Mr. Chu, all the preparations for the jewelry store have been completed. Fan Zhijian and his brother Fan Gao are currently overseeing the store. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the entire detective agency has been mobilized. Agency President Jiang Tao is leading four hundred members to enact martial law around the entire jewelry store. Rest assured, Mr. Chu, not even a fly will get in!"
After carefully arranging the last strand of Chu Mo's hair to perfection, his private secretary, Xia Xue, took two steps back to observe. Satisfied that Chu Mo looked flawless and without a single blemish, she nodded and said,
"Mr. Chu, you're all set!"
Chu Mo nodded lightly. He took the mobile phone from the butler, Danny, for one last time check, put the phone in his pocket, and then took a deep breath.
Then, stepping forward, he said with a steady voice,
"Let's go!"
At the entrance of the hall, six immaculately cleaned luxury cars quietly stood ready, with twenty bodyguards over two meters tall respectfully surrounding them under the leadership of deputy team leader Fang Lihu.
Chu Mo, wearing custom-made leather shoes, took decisive steps forward, flanked closely on either side by his private secretary Xia Xue and the foreign maid Tina.
Fang Lihu rushed ahead to open the door of the Mercedes-Maybach for Chu Mo. As he stepped in, Xia Xue and Tina entered from the opposite door.
The sounds of car doors closing resounded, and all twenty bodyguards got into their vehicles. With a simple command from Chu Mo to proceed, the six-car convoy immediately set off.
The moment the convoy, led by two Honqi cars, drove out of the courtyard gate, several luxury cars started their engines on the spacious road in front of Villa Number One.
This included four-vehicle convoys led by Bafang International Chain Hotel Chairman Zhan Bingxue, Shi Yuan Entertainment Chairman Qin Zixuan, and Longevity Club's Yang Xuan and Liang Bing, each also leading four cars.
Together with Dong Xuner, a power holder in the city's three tallest buildings, dozens of luxurious vehicles formed a convoy driving along the spacious road.
From afar, Emperor Xuan Property Management security opened the gate immediately upon seeing the convoy.
Then, escorted by the respectful salute of dozens of property security guards, one after another multimillion-dollar top luxury car continuously drove out of the gate until two minutes later, when the last luxurious Bentley exited, the security staff standing at attention could finally breathe a little easier.
Passersby who were unaware captured this scene on their phones and posted it online. In no time, it garnered hundreds of thousands of views.
Meanwhile, on the bustling Lujiazui Welcome Boulevard, a convoy of more than twenty luxury cars was making its way unobstructed.
At every intersection the convoy passed through, they were granted uninterrupted green lights. All traffic personnel were busy clearing the way for this fleet of cars, making all the traffic yield to the lengthy convoy.
At this point, even the most oblivious spoiled second-generation wouldn't dare to mess with such a formidable power.
It was 8:26 in the morning.
The first Red Chess Car gently drove past the main store of Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store. When the third Maybach quietly stopped in front of the jewelry store's main entrance, the entire convoy came to a halt. Accompanied by a series of car door opening sounds, a mass of bodyguards in black flowed out, securing the entire storefront.
At this time, the fifth family's Family Head Fan Zhijian and his brother Fan Gao arrived together!
Amidst their hearty laughter, the door of the Maybach opened, and Chu Mo's tall and imposing figure finally appeared before everyone!
"Mr. Chu, you've finally arrived!"
The Family Head of the Fan family, worth a hundred billion, Fan Zhijian stepped forward to greet him, his face full of warmth and sincerity.
As this hundred-billion-worth man bowed slightly, there was also an almost imperceptible hint of ingratiating himself in his eyes!
