Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Naturally, Sun Qing Ruoxi, formerly the company\'s sole top-tier superstar, saw her status plummet.

On the talent development front, the scale expanded dramatically from the original group of twenty or thirty people to now over a hundred individuals...

Shi Yuan Entertainment commenced a new round of comprehensive expansion, and the previously ample funds were immediately stretched tight.

This was precisely the outcome Chu Mo wanted to see, and without a second word, the second installment of five billion was invested again into Shi Yuan Entertainment.

In this way, Chu Mo had poured a total of tens of billions into the entertainment industry within just over half a month.

Unlike Shi Yuan Entertainment\'s expansion, Bafang International operated in an orderly manner. After Chu Mo acquired the financial tower with twenty-seven billion, the hundred-floor building, ranking second tallest in the city, was entrusted to Zhan Bingxue to manage.

Thanks to the assistance from the Zhou family\'s management team, the transition of the financial tower went smoothly, and many people were even unaware that the city\'s second-tallest building had changed hands.

While Chu Mo finalized the deal for the financial tower, Zhan Bingxue was also busy, currently negotiating with Tianyi International Hotel.

Tianyi International Hotel, also a five-star establishment, is ranked within the top ten among the ninety-four five-star hotels in the city, with a market value of about six and a half billion.

Zhan Bingxue pursued the acquisition through normal channels, and naturally, the negotiations were not as smooth as Chu Mo\'s dealings with the Zhou family, often hitting bumps with both sides\' lawyers arguing over a single clause from morning till dawn with no result.

Chu Mo did not interfere with Zhan Bingxue\'s acquisition. Although if he wished, he could have easily secured Tianyi Hotel by throwing in a few more billion, but that was not the result Chu Mo wanted.

He was wealthy, indeed, but certainly couldn\'t allow himself to be treated like a cash cow ready to be milked at will.

The matter of Tianyi Hotel was left to Zhan Bingxue to handle at her own pace, and all Chu Mo had to do was wait patiently; by the end of June at the latest, there should be a result.

Once Tianyi International Hotel was secured, along with Bafang International and the financial tower, Zhan Bingxue would control three assets with a combined terrifying worth of forty-five billion.

By the end of June at the latest, Chu Mo\'s plan for a hundred-billion conglomerate would be nearly halfway complete.

In Sky Origin Riverside City, Chu Mo purchased a detached villa for Yang Xuan; unlike the properties on Green Grass Avenue and Emperor\'s Mansion Villa Number One, the 6,700 square-meter villa\'s property deed was registered under Yang Xuan\'s name.

The villa cost Chu Mo four hundred and seventy million, and with the remaining thirty million, he arranged for Yang Xuan a Lincoln and a BMW.

At the Zhou family\'s wedding banquet last time, Yang Xuan had a glass of wine splashed on her in public, and to offer an apology, the Zhou family\'s patriarch waived the five hundred million difference in the price of the financial tower. Instead of the original twenty-seven and a half billion, Chu Mo only paid twenty-seven billion.

The five hundred million was a genuine savings.

The Zhou patriarch made it clear that the five hundred million difference was compensation for the clothes Yang Xuan was wearing.

Essentially, the Zhou family waived the extra five hundred million on his face, knowing that without him, even if Yang Xuan was slapped at the wedding banquet, no one would give a second glance.

But then again, had Yang Xuan not been doused with a glass of wine, the Zhou patriarch wouldn\'t have waived the five hundred million.

As the saying goes, there\'s a cause for every effect; Chu Mo was not one to covet small advantages, and besides, he genuinely wasn\'t short on money, so the five hundred million discount from the financial tower was truly spent on Yang Xuan.

The four hundred and seventy million villa paled in comparison with Emperor\'s Mansion Villa Number One, but it was still incredibly luxurious.

The 6,700-square-meter courtyard was a riot of beautiful blooms.

After all, Yang Xuan was the second woman with whom Chu Mo had been intimate, and towards her, he truly spared no expense.

The villa came staffed with six maids, twelve bodyguards, chefs, butlers, drivers, and gardeners, a lavish setup totaling twenty-five people—a step above even Zhan Bingxue\'s arrangements. Continue reading stories on empire

Yang Xuan had resigned from her original trading company and was now busy setting up an investment firm.

Chu Mo had prepared ten billion for her as starting capital, merely for her to practice with.

Once the company was established and its various rules and regulations were finalized, the real substantial funds would then flow into the company, named Angel Investment.

...

Time slipped into late June unnoticed. Since attending the last Zhou family wedding and signing for the financial tower in Modu, Chu Mo had seldom gone out.

Before acquiring the unlimited card, his main occupation had been that of a freelance writer, so he spent more time at home than going out. Even his occasional outings were mostly for collecting creative inspiration, rarely for casual dining and entertainment.

Limited finances were one reason, but his preference for quiet was the main factor.

Now, in possession of the unlimited bank card, he no longer needed to worry about making ends meet, and because his social circle had always been quite narrow, he naturally became even less inclined to go out.

At nearly ten thousand square meters, Emperor\'s Mansion Villa Number One offered maid service, delicious meals prepared by chefs, and various entertainment and fitness rooms. For someone as homebound as Chu Mo, it was an absolute paradise.

If there were nothing else requiring his attention, Chu Mo could even comfortably remain a recluse there indefinitely.

Having practiced his culinary skills with the chef for over a month and feeling his expertise had reached its peak, Chu Mo grew idle and stopped visiting the kitchen. He devoted the mornings to midday—a time he used to spend learning to cook—to writing articles instead.

Although his recent writing output had decreased and he was no longer producing a high volume of articles daily, the quality of his writing had improved significantly.

Chu Mo believed that this was the result of not rushing the work and putting more care into crafting his pieces. Of course, it could also be due to a change of mindset, leading him to see things from a different perspective.

As June drew to a close, Chu Mo finally received good news from Zhan Bingxue.

Following over a month of tough negotiations, Bafang International officially acquired Tianyi International Hotel for 68 billion, moving him a step closer to his goal of running a chain of hotels.

At the same time, a special guest arrived at Chu Mo\'s number one villa—Zhang Dongdong, chairman of Cape Town Investment Group.

The name might not be very well-known, but his other title was certainly a household name.

Son of Hua Country\'s wealthiest man, Zhang Dahua, and Crown Prince of Wanlin Group.

As June came to an end, various universities had already started their vacations one after another, and the fervent summer break was just around the corner.

On this day, Chu Mo was in the villa\'s study, reading a book to further his knowledge. The book was about the history of development in the United States, written by a very famous American author.
