Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 372 - 260: The People Who Changed the Magic Capital’s Landscape
Chapter 372: Chapter 260: The People Who Changed the Magic Capital’s Landscape
“Director Fan, a few days apart, you still look as radiant as ever!”
At the entrance of the Youth Mansion in Modu, more than a dozen top luxury cars including a pair of red Bentleys, an extended Lincoln, a Rolls-Royce, and an Audi A9 came to a stop in succession.
Fan Zhijian, the Family Head of the Fan family, known as the fifth major family in Modu, was the first to step out of the car, and at this moment, Chu Mo and Dong Xuner were just walking out from the lobby!
With a face full of enthusiasm, Chu Mo took the initiative to step forward briskly, already extending his hand first.
The tall and robust Fan Zhijian, equally beaming, replied with an even broader smile upon seeing Chu Mo as the first to shake hands with him:
“Hahaha! President Chu, I’ve been waiting a long time for this afternoon tea!”
The two shook hands, and at this moment, Cao Renyi, the Family Head of one of the four great families in Modu and from Xingyue Technology, also got out of his car.
Chu Mo couldn’t chat with Fan Zhijian too long. He gave one last firm squeeze of the hand, and said with a voice full of warmth,
“Director Fan, we shall have plenty of time in the days to come!”
“Good! Good! Good!”
Fan Zhijian laughed heartily as he said the word “good” three times in a row!
Everything was understood without words.
The hearty laughter of Lu Siyue, the Family Head of the Lu family, was already heard, and Chu Mo, finishing his pleasantries with Fan Zhijian, slightly turned to say:
“Family Head Lu, I haven’t had the chance to thank you for the matter with Ma Yu last time. Tonight, I will host a dinner; I hope you can grace us with your presence so I can express my gratitude!”
The Family Head Lu, from Modu, may not have personal assets comparable to the eight great families of Hua Country, but when it comes to influence in Hua Country, he is in no way inferior to the eight families, and his face bloomed with joy.
Some time ago, the Lu family’s company ran into a business problem and urgently needed a large amount of capital to plug the gap; it was Chu Mo’s twenty billion that helped the Lu family stabilize their crisis, and now that the Lu family was slowly recovering, Family Head Lu felt naturally in high spirits!
He patted Chu Mo’s shoulder lightly with a powerful hand, and said with resonant vigor:
“President Chu, you’re being too courteous. We’re all family here, no need for such formalities. My granddaughter Siyue keeps telling me about President Chu’s righteousness every day. When you have time, come over for a meal!”
Family Head Lu was genuinely pleased with Chu Mo and extended an invitation to him to join a family banquet at the Lu household, a rare honor in Modu.
Chu Mo couldn’t help but picture the dignified and elegant figure of the young Miss Lu Siyue. Seeing Family Head Lu’s gaze towards him, which carried the look of a mother-in-law sizing up a son-in-law, the more she looked, the more she liked it, he quickly changed the subject by saying:
“Absolutely, absolutely!”
Cao Renyi from Xingyue Technology came forward proactively. Although this elderly gentleman was older than Family Head Lu, the company he controlled, Xingyue Technology, was a top-tier technology firm worth tens of billions. In terms of influence and fame, no one else present could match Cao Renyi. He greeted Chu Mo before he could approach, and said:
“President Chu, it’s been a while since we last met. Your presence is increasingly anticipated!
By the way, the one billion donation you made last time was not wasted a single cent; it was all spent where it was most needed. Many families who received the funding are especially grateful for your generosity, President Chu. I’ve come here again to ask for your support!”
Cao Renyi, with a personal fortune of 190 billion, is ranked sixth on Forbes’ list, a renowned technology tycoon in Hua Country. His Yiyuan Charity Fund has saved countless impoverished families.
Cao Renyi himself has donated over ten billion, and is a well-known philanthropist in Hua Country. Some time ago, on the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden, Chu Mo had donated one billion to his Yiyuan Charity Fund, and in a few months, this money had already been distributed to families in need.
Now, as Cao Renyi came to ask for donations again, Chu Mo didn’t feel annoyed but rather had genuine admiration for the noble aspirations of this elderly gentleman.
This was a true magnate who disregarded his face and self-respect entirely to do good deeds.
Usually, top tycoons like Cao Renyi, worth close to two hundred billion, are the most concerned about their reputation and face.
Take Family Head Lu, for example; he even regards his reputation as more valuable than his life.
But Cao Renyi in front of him, for his Yiyuan Charity Fund, would set aside his pride and ask for money from a junior like Chu Mo, indicating that helping more people was more important to him than his own face!
This is a person worthy of respect.
Chu Mo didn’t beat around the bush. After pondering for a moment, he said directly:
“Giving ten or twenty billion at a time will soon run out. Let’s do this; I will contribute a hundred billion to support Director Cao’s Yiyuan Charity Fund. This amount will be managed by Miss Dong Xuner here beside me.
Whenever Director Cao needs the money, just provide a detailed report and apply to Miss Dong!”
As his words fell, those around him, including the heads of the four major families—each of them a billionaire several times over—were visibly moved!
A hundred billion was already one-twentieth or even one-tenth of their assets. Chu Mo’s resolution to donate such an amount without hesitation impressed everyone present. Aside from the famous philanthropist Cao Renyi, none of them thought they could do the same!
At this moment, the now-silver-haired Cao Renyi widened his eyes in shock. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent and instead gave Chu Mo’s shoulder a significant pat.
A moment later, he turned his gaze to Dong Xuner, who was following closely by Chu Mo’s side, and said with emotion:
“Miss Dong, isn’t it? These one hundred billion are now in your hands; when I come asking for money, don’t you find this old man bothersome!”
Dong Xuner, who dreamed of making her way into this circle, would naturally not let such an opportunity slip by. She stepped forward and bowed deeply to Cao Renyi, her face full of enthusiasm as she said:
“Old Master Cao, just calling me Little Dong is fine. Rest assured, it’s my honor to have President Chu’s trust and affection, and I will give my full support to Old Master Cao’s Yiyuan Charity Fund!”
As Dong Xuner entered the radar of these top tycoons, Chu Mo had already intended to introduce her to the few top tycoons present. So, seizing the moment, he chimed in:
“Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to everyone, this is Miss Dong Xuner. As you all may have heard, I have recently acquired Jiangnan’s Li family’s Jinmao Mansion in the Magic City. Adding on the Magic City’s Financial Mansion, and Global Tower, Miss Dong Xuner will be in charge of the Magic City’s triad. In the future, we’ll be relying on everyone’s support!”
“It’s all good, all good. Miss Dong is young and promising. Following Chu Mo’s lead, her future is boundless!”
A few top tycoons exchanged pleasantries, and Dong Xuner immediately stepped forward to greet the group of elite wealthy individuals.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Chu Mo said with a smile:
“Gentlemen, let’s have a chat while drinking tea inside!”
The notified general manager of Paris Rouge personally came forward to greet them. Amidst the enthusiastic welcome of the hostesses and waitstaff, Chu Mo and his party walked toward the hall inside.
Inside the hall, the soothing light music continued to play. Dozens of guests looked towards Chu Mo’s group, some recognizing the identity of Cao Renyi and other top-level tycoons. Apart from glancing over here, no one was indiscreet enough to come over and disturb them!
The general manager of Paris Rouge was a clean-cut middle-aged man in his forties, who personally served with a team of waiters.

After Chu Mo and his group of tycoons took their seats by the window, the general manager, with utmost respect on his face, bowed and asked:
“Welcome to Paris Rouge. Your presence is our greatest honor. Would you require a private room?”
As the host, Chu Mo waved his hand gently and casually glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, and instructed softly:
“Bring up your best coffee and desserts. Also, let’s keep the tables around us empty. As for the rest, you can arrange it as you see fit!”
“Certainly, sir!”
The middle-aged manager retreated with great reverence!
He immediately directed the waiters to follow Chu Mo’s orders, persuading the customers near the window to move to private rooms and clearing the area before leaving four waiters to serve nearby. Then he immediately arranged for someone to prepare the beverages.
With seven or eight top-notch billionaires here, any one of them had the power to shut down this restaurant. And if Chu Mo and his companions wished, they already possessed the strength to change the entire layout of the Magic City. Naturally, the restaurant manager dared not be negligent.
In almost an instant, waiters brought beverages, drinks, and pastries, filling the entire table.
After the waiters withdrew, the group of tycoons talked and laughed with each other. In the afternoon sunlight, an elegant and relaxed atmosphere rose around them.
As the host, Chu Mo unconsciously controlled the whole scene. Under the watchful eyes of the other top tycoons, he steered the conversation:
“A few days ago, there was a 1963 Ferrari 250GTO supercar at Ferrari’s headquarters. It was the most advanced sports car at the time, completing 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 5.8 seconds.
After retiring from the racing scene, this car became the most coveted model among top collectors around the world. It is said that twenty-four billionaires applied to buy this car, and I acquired it for 340 million the other day.
I’m not particularly interested in collecting cars. If any of you are interested, feel free to take it!”
Chu Mo’s words were calm, his voice exuding a hint of nonchalant confidence, casually discussing a supercar worth hundreds of millions.
The several servers around them all widened their eyes, staring dumbfounded at Chu Mo’s handsome and confident profile!
For these servers, the most luxurious car they had heard of or seen was worth tens of millions. Yet Chu Mo and his group casually discussed a car worth hundreds of millions, which was beyond the limits of their imagination.
The top tycoons looked at each other, then all turned their gazes towards the Family Head of the Fan family, Fan Zhijian!
Fan Zhijian, known as the fifth family of the Magic City, slightly shook his head with a hint of bitterness:
“Chu, you’re playing at a rather high level. Although I like cars and have collected dozens in my garage, most of them are worth tens of millions. You just spent 340 million in one go, leaving my collection far behind.”
Chu Mo, who casually sipped his coffee, smiled faintly and said:
“That Ferrari GTO is a car from decades ago. After buying it, it can only serve as a collectible, not suitable for the road. If I keep it in my garage, it’ll just rust. Fan, you might as well take it for your collection.
Fan is a car enthusiast, and that car belongs with someone like you. In my hands, it’s simply a waste of a parking spot.
So, tomorrow I’ll have someone send the car over to you, Fan. Don’t feel bad about it. At my detective agency, I’ll still need your help in the future!”
After Chu Mo finished talking, Fan Zhijian pondered briefly, then agreed with a smile.
The Fan family was in the bodyguard business and had a lot of business dealings with Chu Mo’s detective agency. The Fan family had assisted Chu Mo a few times before, so this GTO was like returning a favor with a favor!
Meanwhile, the usually low-profile but wealthiest of the four large families, the Lin family patriarch suddenly spoke:
“Chu isn’t interested in collecting cars, but there is something here that might interest you!”
With over 300 billion in assets, the Lin family is the most profound among the four major families of the Magic City. However, the Lin family usually keeps a low profile and seldom voices their opinion.
Lin Youzhi, the Family Head of the Lin family, was a sophisticated man around fifty. He looked towards Chu Mo with an indistinct gaze and said calmly:
“Chu, I have here…!”
“Xuner, Little Brother Chu, how are you!”
Just as Lin Youzhi started speaking, his words were suddenly interrupted.
Following that, a woman with long, straight black hair that fell over her shoulders, appeared with a smile on her face, standing to one side.
