Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chu Mo wasn't idle on his end either; the Zhou family's turmoil had finally reached its most disastrous phase. Zhou Weijun, the second son of the Zhou family, was finally removed from the company's board of directors. Even though Chu Mo had warned him in advance, the man was still outmaneuvered and lost all initiative.

If Chu Mo didn't step in, within a few days at most, Zhou Weijun would be kicked out of the Zhou family. As the Family Head, Zhou Weimin would take full control of the Zhou family. However, the power behind Zhou Weimin was from the eight major families, and naturally, Chu Mo couldn't let them have their way.

So, Chu Mo directly mobilized his own power, supporting Zhou Weijun wholeheartedly. He deployed substantial funds in secret to help him curry favor, win hearts, and at the same time, he used the strength of Shi Yuan Entertainment to poach three top artists from Tianhua Entertainment Company, owned by the Zhou family, plunging the family into further turmoil.

Chu Mo's move also meant one thing: Zhou Weijun, who was supposed to be in a partnership alliance, became a complete puppet. Of course, if he didn't want to be expelled from the Zhou family and end up a homeless dog, he had no choice but to comply with Chu Mo's demands.

As one of the four major families in Capital City, the Zhou family had plunged into utter chaos due to the covert interventions of Chu Mo and the eight major families. The entire family was in a state of panic. Correspondingly, as Human April Company quickly rose, the entire Capital City once again fell into undercurrents.

All the different forces retrained themselves; no one dared to step out during this entire chain of events.

Among the four major families of Capital City, the Lin family, with assets of 300 billion, seemed to be at each other's throats with Chu Mo. In reality, the Lin family had already sided with Chu Mo, and the two parties were simply putting on a show for the eight major families.

The respected and esteemed Lu family, originally neutral, now had its young miss, Lu Siyue, officially serving as Chu Mo's spokesperson. With Lu Siyue's status on the rise, the Lu family would inevitably join Chu Mo. As for the Zhou family, one of the four major families, the power was divided.

Chu Mo and the eight major families were using the Zhou family as their battleground, fighting a life-and-death struggle.

The only family not involved in this fight was the Wu family.

The Fan family, the fifth family of Capital City, had completely submitted to Chu Mo. One of the Fan brothers became Chu Mo's bodyguard, while the other established the Bafang Guest Jewelry Company, competing directly with the Lin family.

It could be said that in Capital City, almost every family with some power had been pulled into the struggle between Chu Mo and the eight major families. As for the other neutral families, they naturally had to lower their heads and tread carefully.

"Mr. Chu, the signing contract at Tianxin Building in Capital City today was completed, and the head of Luo family, Luo Hao, invites you to have coffee when you're free."

At the Imperial Villa in Capital City, Chu Mo was sitting in the living room reading a book. The coffee table in front of him was already piled with dozens of neatly organized articles—Chu Mo's Short Story Collection 2 was a big hit, and he was now preparing for the publication of his third book.

Sitting opposite him was Dong Xun'er, who managed the three tallest buildings in Capital City. At 1.65 meters tall and with a mature and intellectual charm, Dong Xun'er's status had completely changed. The market value of the three skyscrapers in Capital City she held was nearly a hundred billion yuan, plus the newly signed Capital City's tallest building project.

Just these four buildings alone brought her total assets to over 130 billion yuan, almost on par with Zhan Bingxue's control over Bafang International Hotel.

Tianxin Building, with a land area of 11,478 square meters, a height of 528 meters, 108 floors above ground, and 7 underground floors, can accommodate 12,000 office workers with a total construction area of 437,000 square meters. The design of the building imitates the shape of the ancient ritual vessel "Zun", and inside it houses the world's first JumpLift system that can travel over 500 meters.

Since its completion in 2018, this super skyscraper took the title of the tallest building from Guomao Phase Three and became the highest building in Capital City. Initially the property of the Luo family, Chu Mo negotiated with them in Capital City to purchase it, and the Luo family intended to sell it for 50 billion yuan.

After over a month of tough negotiations, both parties finally signed the contract today.

The Tianxin Group, controlled by Capital City's Luo family, had a total asset value of 450 billion yuan. It is the second largest power in Capital City after the Yang family and is even capable of contending with one of the eight major families, the Yang family.

Family Head Luo Hao was also not someone to be underestimated. At their last meeting, he had expressed an interest in connecting with Chu Mo.

Chu Mo knew that the Luo family had been under pressure from the eight major families but managed to thrive thanks to the extensive assets of the Tianxin Group. Unless the eight major families were willing to suppress them at great cost, the status quo would remain.

Chu Mo was currently under full pressure from the eight major families. As long as he could survive this period and gain recognition, he was sure that the Luo family would be more than willing to join forces with him.

Recently, Chu Mo has been making frequent moves in the world stage. He first invested thirty billion to enter the cosmetics industry, and then secretly funded the Zhou family's power struggle, clearly preparing for a decisive battle with the eight major families. In this situation, the Luo family from the Capital City has recognized Chu Mo's strength and naturally extended an olive branch.

The successful acquisition of the Tianxin Building, the tallest skyscraper in the Capital City, was a clear gesture of goodwill from the Luo family, which Chu Mo fully understood.

After working half a day, Chu Mo set aside the documents he was holding, stretched lazily, picked up the tea before him for a gentle sip, and then, putting down his cup, turned his gaze to Dong Xun'er opposite him, his expression showing a hint of curiosity:

"Now that you've got your hands on the Tianxin Building in the Capital City, what's your next move? Are you planning to recuperate and stabilize for a while, or do you have other plans?"

Dong Xun'er was known for her ambition, something Chu Mo had realized early on when he entrusted her with managing Jinmao Mansion, the second tallest building in the metropolis. He knew this mature and alluring woman had grand ambitions and would not be surprised by any decision she made.

The woman sitting across adjusted herself to sit up straight. Outside, she was the ruler of one of the top three skyscrapers in the metropolis, the center of attention at even the highest-end gatherings.

But here, in front of Chu Mo, the behind-the-scenes boss, Dong Xun'er displayed not a hint of arrogance; instead, she bowed slightly, her beautiful face colored with a touch of caution.

"Mr. Chu, my next target is Suzhou. Suzhou's First Skyscraper Yuehu Building belongs to the Zhao family of Suzhou, standing 480 meters tall as the highest building in the entire city. To secure this building, we'll need to prepare at least nineteen billion in funds. The Zhao family has deep roots in Suzhou and is said to have close ties with one of the eight major families, the Li family.

It'll certainly take some effort to acquire Yuehu Building, but I am confident in completing the task."

Chu Mo watched the woman with a serious expression on her face and was not surprised by her choice. After a moment of silence, he casually remarked:

"Since we've just acquired Tianxin Building in the Capital City, there will be a lot of staff changes; you will need to give that extra attention. Capital City is not our stronghold, so be especially wary of staffing and don't let anyone take advantage of any gaps.

As for Yuehu Building in Suzhou, I'm giving you a budget of twenty billion, with a maximum of one billion extra for flexibility. That means the price of Yuehu Building must not exceed twenty-one billion. Use whatever method you see fit. I'm only interested in the results."

Dong Xun'er immediately nodded respectfully, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

With a budget of twenty-one billion, she was very confident she could acquire Yuehu Building, and once she did, her influence would no longer be limited to the metropolis but truly radiate across the whole of Hua Country.

After bidding Chu Mo farewell once more, Dong Xun'er respectfully retreated.

It wasn't until she stepped out of the expansive hall and into the warm sunlight outside that Dong Xun'er felt like she could finally exhale in relief.

Inside the hall, she always felt a sense of oppression, especially in the presence of the big boss, where she scarcely dared to so much as breathe too heavily. However, once she stepped out of the villa's courtyard, a woman carefully greeted her and eight tall personal bodyguards immediately came forward in a defensive formation.

Dong Xun'er got into a luxury car worth tens of millions, and the three-car convoy started simultaneously. She took one last deep look at the courtyard behind her, waved gently, and then the convoy quickly moved forward.

Her ambitions were vast, with plans to own properties in every first-tier city within Hua Country. After completing this layout, she intended to step out of Hua Country and look further into the world.

So, her time was equally precious.
