Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The elevator's top floor was the 118th, and in the whole of Capital City, buildings with over a hundred floors were few and far between; and the only one with 118 floors was the tallest skyscraper in the city, Tianxin Building!

The dedicated elevator ascended smoothly and rapidly, quickly stopping at the restaurant on the ninety-sixth floor. As soon as she emerged from the elevator doors, a slightly plump middle-aged man with an air of undeniable authority approached her.

At that moment, the man, his face breaking into a warm smile, softly introduced himself:

"Miss Ye Xiaomeng, I presume? I am Chu Mo's representative in charge of affairs here in Capital City, and also the general manager of Tianxin Building, Jia Tianze. You can just call me Xiao Jia. You attend the music academy, right? Rest assured, I have already spoken to the school on your behalf. If you ever need anything, do not hesitate to seek me out.

No matter what it is, I will definitely have it taken care of for you!"

Mr. Chu has been waiting for you in the restaurant for quite some time now. Miss Meng, please follow me!"

The general manager of Tianxin Building, the tallest in Capital City?

Could he really be so easy to talk to?

Completely overwhelmed, Ye Xiaomeng was led to an enormous restaurant, where, aside from a familiar yet stranger handsome man sitting alone, at least dozens of black-clad bodyguards stood silently guarding the surroundings.

In such a setting, Ye Xiaomeng felt like she was witnessing a scene straight out of those domineering CEO TV dramas.

The only difference was that she had become the female lead, instead of a detached passerby.

"Um...!"

Utterly unsettled, Ye Xiaomeng approached the young man, who casually waved his hand and immediately a waiter pulled out a chair for her. As the man across nodded slightly, a stream of servers began to converge, each carrying a dish of exquisitely prepared food.

In just a moment, the huge table before her was covered with dozens of delicious dishes, appealing both to the eye and to the smell.

"Your name is Xiao Meng, correct? Although we both had some drinks last night, and I don't know exactly what happened, I'm not the sort of person to walk away without accepting responsibility. I will take care of this matter thoroughly, so you don't need to feel any psychological burden. From now on, you just need to enjoy your life.

Of course, if you have any dreams or aspirations, you can tell me. I'll help you achieve them. Now, let's dine."

The man across, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, appeared quite composed. Ye Xiaomeng could not discern his mood from his expression. Absentmindedly picking up the cutlery before her and hesitating for a moment, Ye Xiaomeng finally spoke softly:

"The roommates who were with me last night, where are they now?"

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses wiped his mouth with a napkin and nodded slightly:

"Are you referring to your friends? They have already returned to school and should be in class right now. But don't worry, I've had someone contact the principal of the music academy. You can miss classes today without any problem. I will sort everything out with the school. You can attend whenever you want, or not, if you don't feel like it.

No one will make things difficult for you."

Just because of her—a senior about to graduate—they had spoken to the music academy's principal?

Ye Xiaomeng, a student at the music academy herself, knew that the academy was divided into several departments. The highest-ranking official she had ever seen was a department head giving a speech on stage during a school celebration. As for the principal, she had never seen him, not even once!

With her heart beginning to beat a little faster, Ye Xiaomeng thought of her roommates and said with some trepidation:

"Well... Xiao Qing, Xiao Ya, and Xiao Yun are my best roommates and closest friends. We've always had a great time together, but with graduation approaching, we haven't been able to find suitable jobs. Um...if it's possible, could you...could you help them...?"

Finding a suitable job that satisfies oneself is not just the greatest wish of Ye Xiaomeng and her three close female friends, but also the wish of all senior students about to graduate from university.

Ye Xiaomeng had come so far, and it was somewhat related to her desire to find a good job.

Just as Ye Xiaomeng was feeling cautious, the man across from her nodded without any hesitation, and with a wave of his hand to the middle-aged man beside him who claimed to be the general manager of Tianxin Building, he casually ordered,

"Arrange suitable jobs for Xiaomeng's three roommates. Wherever they want to work, let them; whatever position they want, let them have it. Manager Jia, you're in charge of this. Is it going to be difficult?"

The middle-aged man, self-proclaimed as Jia Tianze, who served as the general manager of Tianxin Group and also the person in charge of all industries in Capital City, nodded with utmost seriousness. Then he said with a stern expression,

"Please rest assured, Mr. Chu, for Miss Meng's friends, I will definitely arrange the most suitable positions for them. Even if they want to join any company, I will make sure it's taken care of."

Ye Xiaomeng slightly opened her mouth, as she wanted to ask if he could also help her find a job, but the words were at the tip of her tongue when she suddenly felt it was inappropriate and swallowed them back down.

As if her soul were adrift, Ye Xiaomeng finished the meal that she didn't know whether to consider breakfast or lunch, but due to her preoccupation, she didn't taste the delicacies on the table.

When she put down her chopsticks, the bewildered Ye Xiaomeng just followed the young man in front of her, and the two were escorted by a group of bodyguards to the top floor of the Tianxin Building. It was the tallest building in Capital City. Ye Xiaomeng had visited it two years ago.

Back then, it was crowded with many visitors, but this time, the huge observation hall had only her and the young man in front of her as guests—of course, the bodyguards were also following at a discreet distance.

Sitting down in the observation hall's sitting area, a servant immediately brought over fragrant tea. Ye Xiaomeng drank the tea absentmindedly, her gaze constantly on the breathtaking view in front of her, though her peripheral vision never left the young man across from her.

He appeared not to be very old, seemingly only a few years older than herself, but he gave the impression of being very mature because of his constantly preoccupied demeanor.

If he were to become her boyfriend, it would not be a bad deal for herself...!

While Ye Xiaomeng was daydreaming, a series of footsteps suddenly approached. Then, the middle-aged man she had seen yesterday in the bar appeared before her. Ye Xiaomeng remembered that this person seemed to be called Manager Luo.

"Mr. Chu, how have you considered last night's matter? As long as you agree, our two families will join forces. I, Luo Hao, will take care of the Yang family in Capital City. All you have to do is focus on dealing with Xue Ling from the Heidi Group."

"You must know, although there are three powers in Capital City, the Liu and Yang families are in cahoots. Our Luo family is oppressed at every turn. With such an opportunity to make Yang's pride suffer, there's no way I, Luo Hao, would want to miss out."

"It seems Manager Luo harbors deep resentment. Since that's the case, if I, Chu Mo, were to shrink back in fear, it would be disappointing. However, we still need to discuss the details. Whether it's Capital City's Yang family with a trillion in assets or the Heidi Group with eighty billion, neither are small fry.

If pushed too far, I fear they might strike back fiercely, and we could end up losing more than we gain."

"That's for certain...!"

Watching the two men before her discuss confidently and composedly, Ye Xiaomeng took out her phone and began to type on the screen. She entered the words Tianxin Group Luo Hao into the search bar, and instantly screen was flooded with information.

Tianxin Group, with a market cap of 35 trillion, Chairman Luo Hao...

Ye Xiaomeng subconsciously swallowed and sneaked a peek at the middle-aged man opposite her, then her fingers quickly darted across the phone again.

As the words 'Mr. Chu of Magic City' appeared on the search screen, Ye Xiaomeng's heartbeat pounded like a drum as she gently pressed the search button.

Then, Ye Xiaomeng held her breath in an instant.
