Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Watching the flat-topped man lying on the ground with an unsatisfied expression, Chu Mo, who had planned to leave, merely shook his head slightly. Perhaps in the other party's eyes, being able to work at the so-called Zhenyuan Group was already something to be proud of. The difference between their levels was as vast as the heavens and the earth; there was simply no need for argument.

The flat-topped man's dissatisfied look made Chu Mo somewhat uncomfortable. He gestured to his bodyguard once again, his voice calm as he said,

"Hit him! Just leave him some breath!"

As the words fell, the black-suited bodyguard made his move again, but unlike the last time, this time he held nothing back. A punch landed fiercely on the flat-topped man's cheek, instantly sending a blood-stained molar flying out!

Amidst the dull thuds of the beating, Chu Mo spoke indifferently,

"A monthly salary of eight or nine thousand, slogging away for a whole year just for a mere hundred thousand or so. You had the nerve to show off that kind of money!"

Chu Mo no longer paid attention to the flat-topped man, who lay like a dead dog. He turned his gaze to the opposite side and spoke to the woman in red, Zhou Zilan,

"You should forget about that Zhenyuan Company. Using such scum as employees, that Zhenyuan Company can't be much good anyway. There's no future for you there. From now on, stay by my side. We were classmates, after all. I cleaned for you during school, and you gave me a candy to eat once.

Such fellowship is stronger than anything else!

You can rest assured that I won't short-change you on the compensation. A starting annual salary of ten million, the more you work, the more you earn. Then you'll have your meals and accommodation taken care of, with a private car, bodyguards, a driver, and I'll also arrange a villa for you."

As the flat-topped man continued to wail miserably, the two women in front of him widened their eyes in astonishment, and Zhou Zilan in her red dress even had a heavier breath. She had wanted to ask something, perhaps she even harbored some doubts about Chu Mo's words, but when her gaze fell on the several dozen black-suited bodyguards around, she swallowed her skepticism.

At this moment, the first to react wasn't Zhou Zilan, the person in question, but instead Qian Bingxue who was beside her. Qian Bingxue had already witnessed Chu Mo's grandeur and had personally seen Chu Mo's Rolls-Royce, knowing his status was extraordinary. Seeing her best friend in a daze, she took the initiative and said,

"That sounds great. This job, I... Zilan is very satisfied with it, so let me thank the great boss Chu on behalf of Zilan!"

Zhou Zilan detected her best friend accepting on her behalf and her eyes widened just a bit more!

As a graduate from a third-tier university with only an associate degree, Zhou Zilan really did not possess any impressive expertise. Her job at her previous company essentially involved serving tea and water, tasks without any technical content. Naturally, such jobs provided the least security. If the company were to lay off staff, she was bound to be one of them.

In her small hometown city, her original salary was just four or five thousand. If she could change jobs to Zhenyuan Group, she would be able to earn seven or eight thousand a month, a significant increase in her remuneration, which was the reason she had agreed to the flat-topped man's invitation previously.

This small county town was not like the big coastal cities, where average salaries for ordinary people were around three or four thousand. Those who earned tens of thousands were either elites or had their own businesses. People like Zhou Zilan, without any technical skills or special talents, would not be able to earn a high salary unless she stooped to doing disreputable trades.

Now, suddenly hearing that Chu Mo was offering her an annual salary of ten million, along with a car and a house, she naturally harbored doubts in her heart.

Chu Mo was not in the mood to explain. He did not even glance at the flat-topped man slumped on the ground like a dead dog, and turned to leave, saying,

"Let's go. Staying here any longer is just bad luck!"

The two women naturally had no objections, and hand in hand, they followed Chu Mo. As soon as they boarded the elevator and arrived at the ground floor lobby, they were immediately met by a group of more than a dozen people, led by a middle-aged man with a prosperous appearance.

Chu Mo saw the previous hotel manager, who stood at the end of the group with a cautious demeanor, and knew that these people must be the hotel's senior management.

Of course, such a big incident was bound to alert the hotel's high-level management, which was within expectations.

Chu Mo did not wish to waste words with them. He had only come to attend a class reunion tonight and did not want to be bothered with a bunch of messy issues, so he said directly,

"I will take care of all the hotel's losses tonight, and all guest expenses will be on the house. Whatever the total loss is, have my people reimburse you; I'll leave a person in charge here."

The soft words fell, and the entire hall became silent.

Chu Mo's two female companions both looked cautious, as Zhou Zilan did not know what had happened. Qian Bingxue leaned in and whispered in her ear. Upon learning that Chu Mo's bodyguards had turned the hotel upside down to find her room and were now going to bear all the losses, her face looked as if it were bleeding.

This was a five-star hotel, with hundreds of guest rooms and guests. The total expense of everyone's dining, plus accommodations, was likely to be hundreds of thousands.

As Zhou Zilan bit her red lips, the richly clad man at the front cautiously said:

"Are you... Mister Chu of Demon City?"

Seeing that the man recognized him, Chu Mo was somewhat surprised, and he nodded slightly, speaking in a softer voice:

"Do you know me?"

Noticing that Chu Mo did not deny, the wealthy man, who grew even more respectful and friendly, immediately said with a smile:

"Indeed, it's Mister Chu. Our Poly Hotel is a national chain, and we have a branch in Demon City. Your reputation precedes you, Mister Chu. Furthermore, our Poly Hotel and Director Zhan Bingxue's Bafang International Chain Hotel have business interactions. Today we were unaware of your august visit and have caused offense. I hope Mister Chu can be understanding."

If one does not hit a smiling face, and if the man had been aggressive, Chu Mo certainly would have let him know what's what. However, since the man was respectful, Chu Mo did not feel it right to be too overbearing. He nodded slightly, his voice much softer as he said:

"I see!"

As his words fell, the rich middle-aged man suddenly scolded:

"Manager Shen, why aren't you apologizing to Mister Chu right away!"

The manager who had previously refused Chu Mo immediately came forward, fearful and anxious. At this time, the leading man's face immediately took on a pleasing tone:

"Mister Chu, my subordinate was ignorant of the rules and has troubled you. How about this, to make up for disturbing your peace, we will waive all charges for our VIP guests tonight. As for Manager Shen who failed to recognize Taishan, I will handle him by making him leave. What do you think...?"

The leading man evidently had heard of Chu Mo's ways in Demon City. It wasn't just a small hotel that held its breath around him, even those tycoons in Demon City with assets worth tens or even hundreds of billions would be ruined by a word from Chu Mo, so naturally, he dared not offend him in the slightest.

Catching a glimpse of the terrified middle-aged manager, to be honest, the fault today lay on their side. The manager hadn't done anything wrong in his handling, and Chu Mo wasn't unreasonable. With a casual wave of his hand and an indifferent voice, he said:

"Manager Shen has done nothing wrong, on the contrary, you should commend his integrity. Also, as I said earlier, we were at fault tonight. All losses the hotel has incurred will be on my tab. Such a trivial sum isn't worth a second glance from me, Chu Mo.

Let's leave it at that!"

With that final indifferent remark, without any more words, Chu Mo turned and strode away.

At this time, the dozens of bodyguards followed suit, and by the time Chu Mo appeared at the hotel entrance, over a dozen luxury cars worth more than ten million each had started up.

The dozens of bodyguards in black were already on alert around him, and watching this excessively luxurious scene unfold, Zhou Zilan in her red dress cast aside the last of her doubts.

Her eyes gleamed as she watched the tall figure of Chu Mo, her entire demeanor one of awestruck wonder.
