Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Congratulations to Prince Mayer Xun for taking the lead and securing the first item on display. Now, may we introduce the second item up for auction."

"This is a Xin Yu jade from Hua Country. This jade is not ordinary, but a magical stone that can keep its wearer warm in winter and cool in summer."

"Two years ago, at the Zeus Auction, a piece of Xin Yu of the same type created an astonishing record by selling for 330 million. And now, the starting price for this piece of Xin Yu is 100,000 RMB!"

"Mr. Geng Pan, I've heard that you are quite fond of collecting various magical antiques, so I would think that Mr. Geng Pan wouldn't want to miss out on this magical Xin Yu! Please place your bid!"

"Xin Yu, able to keep its wearer warm in winter and cool in summer, has truly magical effects. A piece like this created an astonishing record by selling for 330 million two years ago, a truly rare treasure indeed!"

"And now, the same type of Xin Yu is presented here at the auction, instantly heating up the atmosphere of the entire hall. Everyone started whispering to each other, with endless voices of envy."

"However, it's clear that this piece of Xin Yu is specially prepared for the Ross family heir, Mr. Geng Pan, seated in the front row. Others simply have no chance at it!"

The Ross family heir, Geng Pan, himself was born with a golden key, and as one of the most secretive families in the world, the Ross family's collection of treasures is beyond count."

"In their treasure room, various precious gems are piled up like a mountain, and in such a situation, ordinary treasures and antiques simply cannot catch Geng Pan's eye."

"As the most promising contender to inherit the position of Family Head of the Ross family, Geng Pan can casually dispose of a Paradise Island, each valued at well over a hundred billion US dollars."

"So in order to win his favor, Chu Mo and Fan Zhijian have really put in a lot of thought, and this Xin Yu, valued at 330 million, is the gift prepared for Geng Pan."

"Obviously, Geng Pan, who had been rather uninterested up until now, showed rare interest at this moment. The golden-haired young man sat up a little straighter, his eyes fixed on the jade stone on the display stand. After a moment, he leaned in close to Chu Mo and suddenly asked with curiosity,"

"Chu, is this jade stone really so magical? Can it actually keep its wearer warm in winter and cool in summer?"

Hearing this, the corners of Chu Mo's mouth slightly curled up into a smile as he nodded lightly. He didn't elaborate, but said casually:

"Two years ago at the Zeus Auction, there indeed was a piece of jade exactly like this one. In two years' time, the price of this jade has only risen higher, and it is now priceless."

"No matter how much money is offered, the owner of the jade isn't willing to sell it. In the end, I obtained this jade for the price of five billion and some favors. If this jade didn't have such magical effects, I would have needed to get it refunded!"

When Geng Pan heard that the Xin Yu on stage was acquired for five billion, he couldn't help but nod slightly, finding it incredible to spend such a sum on a small piece of jade, even with his wealth that rivaled nations!

At that moment, the golden-haired young man sat up straighter, the heir seemed to ponder for a while, but he did not immediately raise his hand to bid.

Chu Mo beside him did not hurry him either.

A top-tier jewel, obtained for five billion and a favor, the worth of this piece of Xin Yu had become invaluable, and even if it was said to be worth ten billion RMB, it wouldn't be an exaggeration. With such a low starting price of only 100,000 RMB, it was almost like giving it away for free."

Naturally, this Xin Yu, apart from the Ross heir, Geng Pan, nobody else should even dream of obtaining it."

All the wealthy individuals in the hall waited silently for Geng Pan to make an offer, as they were all aware in advance that this auction was specifically organized for a few princes and princesses, and they were but a sideshow, certainly not daring to recklessly bid in such a setting."

But just then, in a corner of the hall, a timid voice suddenly spoke out. Following that, a tall girl with shoulder-length hair gently raised her hand, and then, the girl named Xu Shanshan, with caution and excitement, said:

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

"One hundred and ten thousand...?"

The auctioneer on the stage repeated with a hint of confusion, clearly, the sudden bid by the girl in the back of the hall had disrupted the original arrangement, as it was planned that only Geng Pan was supposed to bid.

However, the auctioneer on the stage was, after all, someone who had weathered many storms. Even though the plan was disrupted, he quickly adjusted his emotions and immediately addressed Geng Pan:

"One hundred and ten thousand, this beautiful young lady seems to be warming up for Mr. Geng Pan. One hundred and ten thousand, Mr. Geng Pan, as long as your bid exceeds one hundred and ten thousand, this miraculous heart-shaped jade will be yours!"

The eager auctioneer eyed the blond young man below, already deciding that as soon as the young man gave a slight nod, he would not give anyone else a chance and would close the auction with a strike of the gavel!

Yet, amidst everyone's anticipation, this most powerful heir of the Rothschild family suddenly turned his head to look toward the back of the hall!

There, including the tall girl Xu Shanshan who had just made the bid, Sun Qiuman and Liu Shiyin, three senior girls from the University of Science and Technology, were gathered together, chattering about something in low voices.

The blond young man looked tenderly at Sun Qiuman, whose face was flushed. After a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, he gave her a slight nod and then sat up straight again, without making any further moves.

Meanwhile, after several failed attempts to stir up the crowd on the stage, and with no one daring to sell a piece of jewelry worth several hundred million RMB to a young girl on their own, the auctioneer, with a sweaty forehead and a look of helplessness and inquiry in his eyes, turned his gaze to Chu Mo.

Chu Mo frowned slightly.

He had not anticipated that the auction, which should have been smooth, would turn out this way. The arrival of the three girls from the back of the hall was unexpected, and they had come on a whim, so no one had informed them about the significance of the auction!

Similarly, Chu Mo had not foreseen that the girl named Xu Shanshan would be so bold. With dozens if not hundreds of people in the auditorium, all of them billionaire tycoons, and while no one else dared to make a bid, this young girl dared to join in the excitement. Indeed, her courage was extraordinary.

However, at this moment, Chu Mo had to consider another matter.

The blond young man by his side knew that the heart-shaped jade on stage was meant for him, and Chu Mo had also made it clear to him that the jade was worth at least five hundred million RMB. Knowing this, yet still not making a move and instead letting the heart-shaped jade go to the three girls behind him...

Chu Mo couldn't help but suspect that this was a deliberate act by the blond young man. Perhaps he just wanted to take this opportunity to confess his feelings to the girl named Sun Qiuman!

With this in mind, Chu Mo finally glanced back at the three girls who were huddled together and chattering. He took a special look at Sun Qiuman, whose face was flushed. Softness flickered in her eyes, and she looked blissful.

Since this was Geng Pan's own wish, Chu Mo felt there was no need for him to insist. After all, a small heart-shaped jade was worth only a few hundred million RMB, which was insignificant whether for Chu Mo himself or for the blond young man at his side.

With this thought in mind and having made a decision, Chu Mo gently nodded toward the auctioneer on stage.

Having received the signal, the previously sweating auctioneer took a deep breath. Just as he was about to announce that the heart-shaped jade would go to the girl in the back who bid one hundred and ten thousand, the doors of the exhibition hall were suddenly pushed open, and Fang Lihu's tall figure quickly walked towards them!

The entire hall instantly fell silent, and at the same time, Fan Zhijian's phone rang. When Fang Lihu came to Chu Mo's side, the tall man leaned in and said cautiously:

"Mr. Chu, the family heads of the eight great families and the Rothschild family head, Lin Youzhi, have all arrived and are now in the lobby on the first floor!"

As Fang Lihu finished, Fan Zhijian also hung up his phone and approached Chu Mo with a grim expression on his face.

Chu Mo took a gentle breath and shortly said:

"Unsolicited attentiveness... are we supposed to be afraid of them, I want to see what tricks these people can come up with, please invite them up!"
