Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chu Mo, in Capital City, owned two buildings worth ninety billion in addition to fifteen jewelry stores. These stores were established during his earlier visit to Capital City in cooperation with several local jewelers. The total investment was just over ten billion; it was initially a trial run, so the scale was not large.

These fifteen jewelry stores served as Chu Mo's touchstone for entering the jewelry industry. It was because the early stages went smoothly that subsequent developments occurred.

Although on the surface Fan Zhijian controlled Bafang Kelai Jewelry Store, had it not been for Chu Mo's financial backing during the consumption phase against the eight great families, the Fan family would have been unable to hold on. Therefore, the true controller of these jewelry stores was still Chu Mo.

Chu Mo once formed a business alliance with several top jewelers in Capital City, which almost claimed one-third of Hua Country's jewelry business. It could certainly be described as being incredibly wealthy and powerful.

After successfully acquiring the Guang'an Building and starting to pressure the Heidi Group, Chu Mo found himself with more free time. He did not immediately return to the metropolis but instead appeared in front of a jewelry store on Happiness Road in Capital City.

These fifteen jewelry stores were all purchased from several jewelers in Capital City. Because these jewelers were eager to partner with Chu Mo, they offered extremely low prices. They also trained the store clerks for free and provided every possible convenience.

Thanks to the care of these people, Chu Mo hardly spent any effort on managing the fifteen jewelry stores. He was simply responsible for providing the funds and had almost no involvement in the remaining aspects.

However, being one of his businesses and with the fifteen jewelry stores valued at over ten billion, it was not considered a small industry. Since Chu Mo was in Capital City, he naturally wanted to visit.

The store at the intersection of Happiness Road was the largest of the fifteen, with a total area of 470 square meters. In land-scarce Capital City, especially in a bustling area like Happiness Road, a store of four to five hundred square meters was definitely a synonym for luxury.

The name of the jewelry store was Happiness Jewelry. It had thirty-four clerks, divided into morning and evening shifts, with seventeen people per shift, including one manager, two assistants, and two supervisors.

This time, Chu Mo did not make a grand entrance. He merely wanted to see how his business was doing, to ensure that the lack of his usual attention would not lead to neglect in management. Therefore, he did not bring many bodyguards.

He only brought Ye Xiaomeng with him this time, while bodyguards like Jiang Tao and Fan Gao stayed outside the store.

The two of them exited the vehicle and walked hand in hand into the jewelry store lobby.

The two hostesses at the door were very sweet and professional, adding a hint of expectation in Chu Mo's heart. With a smile on his face, he nodded to the two sales ladies and then proceeded into the main hall with Ye Xiaomeng.

Originally, Happiness Jewelry was a ready-made store acquired from several jewelers, with the best decor and decorations. Almost no renovation was needed after acquisition, and it could be reopened with minimal setup.

Chu Mo looked up at the three-meter-high ceiling. Above him, the magnificent decorations glittered, and the soft light from the crystal chandeliers shone down, making the jewels in the display cases even more sparkling.

The time was now two forty in the afternoon. The number of pedestrians on the street was neither too few nor too many. Chu Mo deliberately observed that, like himself, most customers entered the store in pairs. Each staff member was very dedicated, warmly welcoming every customer who entered.

"Sir, are you planning to purchase a wedding diamond ring for your girlfriend? Miss, you really have nice skin. Your hands are very delicate, and your fingers are beautiful. Your fingers are particularly suited to wear our rings."

At that moment, Chu Mo and Ye Xiaomeng were standing at the diamond ring counter. While he did not have any specific goals and only came to check on the operation of his store, since he was here and accompanied by a lady, it would not be appropriate to leave without buying something.

Chu Mo nodded immediately, then gestured to the long-haired girl by his side:

"Xiao Meng, see if there's anything you like."

The long-haired girl next to him blushed slightly. After all, she was still a university student, not as liberated in thoughts and consciousness as others. The life of these two days felt like a dream, giving her a sense of unreality.

When Chu Mo asked her to choose a ring, Ye Xiaomeng bit her lip slightly. She had originally wanted to refuse, but as she saw the shining diamond rings in the counter, their glow seemed to penetrate her heart, and she couldn't take her eyes off of them.

No woman can resist the allure of diamonds. After all, Ye Xiaomeng was just an ordinary girl. Her mind wavered only for a moment before her gaze settled on a diamond ring priced at thirty-eight thousand eight hundred.

The sales lady promptly noticed the customer's fascination and, with a smile, took out the ring from the display case.

"Miss, you've taken an interest in our four-claw round diamond, haven't you? You really have great taste. The four-claw setting, inheriting the basic design of a six-claw round diamond, doesn't emphasize 'a star holding the moon' like a six-claw does, which makes it appear livelier and more dynamic.

Because a four-claw setting doesn't highlight the prongs as much as a six-claw, sometimes the size of the prongs is intentionally minimized. As such, not only does it make the diamond look lighter, but it can also be combined with more smaller diamonds in different setting styles. Miss, let me help you try it on and see the effect...!"
