Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Mr. Chu, I've long admired your reputation. I hope to receive your guidance and care in the future!"

The tall girl named Xu Shanshan took the initiative to come forward with poise. She stood at about 174 centimeters barefoot, and in her high-heeled boots, she was as tall as Chu Mo's eyebrows!

Seeing her approach proactively, Chu Mo likewise extended his hand for a handshake. The girl had a pair of delicate, slender hands. She squeezed lightly, exuding a tantalizing sensation, which made Chu Mo raise an eyebrow. He casually said:

"Where did you hear about me?"

The girl in front of him seemed to gradually acclimate to the unfamiliar environment. She was naturally outgoing, and once she regained her comfort, she appeared quite at ease.

With her hands clasped behind her back, the girl named Xu Shanshan then gently said:

"I'm a local from Magic Capital. Mr. Chu's renown spreads across the entire city. Plus, my best friend knows you, so naturally, I pay more attention to news about you. However, Mr. Chu, you've been too busy—we agreed to have coffee together before, but you never contacted me again after that!"

Hearing this, Chu Mo's eyes brightened slightly. He couldn't remember her at all or when he had agreed to have coffee with her. However, if it were true, it at least proved that she had been a good friend of Sun Qiuman for a long time, and it also meant her identity was undoubtedly legitimate.

Chu Mo picked up his phone, laughing as he said:

"We've been in touch before? Sorry, I've got so many things to manage that I can't quite recall. Call me, and I'll add your contact anew!"

The girl named Xu Shanshan promptly took out a pink mobile phone from her coat pocket. She tapped it a few times, and shortly after, Chu Mo's phone vibrated—a local number from Magic Capital appeared on the screen.

He ended the call and carefully saved her name in his contacts, then said with a smile:

"Since you are all friends of Qiuman, then you are friends of Chu Mo. If you need anything in the future, feel free to call me!"

After nodding to the three girls in front of him, Chu Mo didn't delay. He turned around and said:

"Follow me, please. The guests have been waiting for some time now!"

He went straight to the elevator, and the three girls followed him closely, each with their own thoughts. Once the elevator delivered them to the sixteenth floor where the jewelry exhibition hall was located, Fan Zhijian had already finished hosting the opening ceremony downstairs and also came up to attend to the guests.

Indeed, the guests invited by Octagon Guests were not limited to the few princes and princesses present. With the connections of Chu Mo and Fan Zhijian, many prestigious figures from Magic Capital were also in attendance.

However, these individuals' statuses were not high enough to meet with the princes and princesses face-to-face, considering security reasons. So they were entertained by Fan Zhijian, Qin Zixuan, Dong Xuner, and others from the second tier of the Fan family.

With the hundred-billion worth of Qin Zixuan and Dong Xuner, entertaining these guests was more than manageable.

When Chu Mo led the three girls out of the elevator, the top-grade jewelry immediately caught their eyes. He clearly saw all three of them widen their eyes simultaneously, each filled with intense surprise!

Chu Mo didn't say anything more. He strode toward the inner part of the exhibition hall, where a few princes and princesses were observing a brightly shining diamond!

"This diamond is the world-famous 'Century' diamond. It was discovered in South Africa in 1980 and took three years for professional cutters to study and craft meticulously."

"The diamond has a total of 247 facets. Currently, the 'Century' diamond is collected by a famous jeweler from our Hua Country, and it is estimated to be worth 200 million US dollars!"

This time, the person in charge of the commentary was no longer Princess Mina Wei'er, because this diamond was not provided by her, but was a treasure offered by several jewelers from Capital City, which even Princess Mina had never possessed!

Among the twins, Zi Yi, whose voice was even more ethereal, seriously and eloquently explained.

At this moment, while everyone's attention was captivated by the exquisite diamond, Geng Pan, the Rothschild heir, cast his gaze in this direction. Then, his eyes immediately noticed Sun Qiuman standing behind Chu Mo!

The handsome and extraordinary Rothschild family heir immediately showed a glimmer of joy in his eyes. He made no attempt to hide it and stride over here, while afterward giving Sun Qiuman, who was blushing, a big hug!

The two had met through their French connection, and now they were speaking to each other in French.

After nodding slightly to Chu Mo, Geng Pan took Sun Qiuman to a corner of the exhibition hall to talk about their longing for each other.

Meanwhile, the twin sisters in front of them continued to introduce each piece of jewelry to the guests.

Every item here was a treasure worth a fortune, shining with an incredibly dazzling light under the overhead lamps. As the group moved on to view the next exhibit, Xu Shanshan, who was closely following Chu Mo, suddenly tugged at the corner of Chu Mo's clothing and quietly asked:

"Isn't the Star of Africa the largest diamond in the world? I've never heard of this Century diamond before! Mr. Chu, you're not deceiving these foreigners with some fakes, are you?"

Turning his head, Chu Mo glanced at the tall girl with a disbelieving expression on her face, gave a light smile, and then seriously explained for a rare occasion:

"There are many things in this world that are not as you understand them to be. Many precious things are monopolized by the top elite, and these truly valuable items are not disclosed to the public, just like this diamond is!"

Chu Mo did not go into detail; he wasn't her teacher to instruct her bit by bit. He merely offered a casual pointer, and whether the girl could understand it depended on her.

The girl with flowing long hair slightly raised her eyebrows. Her slender, expressive eyebrows added to her lively appearance. Just as Chu Mo was about to leave the diamond exhibition area, the thoughtful girl gently said:

"Mr. Chu, are you suggesting that what this world shows us is actually what those powerful figures want us to see? So this diamond is something you powerful people don't want ordinary people to witness?"

Chu Mo, who had already taken a step away, stopped in his tracks once more. For the first time, he looked at the girl in front of him with serious consideration, and upon seeing her bright eyes, he smiled and said:

"I don't yet have the privilege to make the rules, but it should not be long before nearly there!"

As he finished speaking, he saw Princess Mina waving at him from the front. Subsequently, Chu Mo did not hesitate to walk towards the crowd!

At that moment, in front of the 200 million US dollar diamond showcase, Xu Shanshan's eyes were bright as she looked at the gleaming diamond. However, Liu Shiyin suddenly whispered at her side:

"Shanshan, do you think those people over there look somewhat familiar?"

At these words, Xu Shanshan raised her head to look at the crowd with a trace of curiosity in her eyes.

She had been so focused on the jewelry that, upon noticing those handsome men and beautiful women, she suddenly widened her eyes in shock!
