Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 374 - 261 The Game of the Rich, A Life-Changing Choice_2
Chapter 374: Chapter 261 The Game of the Rich, A Life-Changing Choice_2
Hearing this, Uncle Lu subconsciously stroked the simple ring on his left thumb, and with a slight shake of his head, he said teasingly,
“Five billion? Wu Sihai, you’re such a rough diamond with no sincerity. This ring of mine, unless it’s ten billion, I won’t even let you touch it. It’s Emperor Qianlong’s treasure; five billion is a daydream!”
Wu Sihai, the Family Head of the Wu family, smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had been coveting Uncle Lu’s ring for a long time, but unfortunately, it was Uncle Lu’s darling, and his offers had been rejected several times.
The ring’s actual value was around seven billion. His bid of five billion was actually just waiting for Uncle Lu to counteroffer, but Uncle Lu insisted on ten billion. Even though he liked it, ten billion would cost him an arm and a leg.
So he could only drool over it, helpless to actually acquire it.
The big shots teased each other; they discussed antiques, paintings, and business projects worth billions, or even tens of billions, casually. Ordinary people would be left tongue-tied upon hearing such conversations.
Meanwhile, the sound of a zither playing a melody akin to “High Mountain Flowing Water” suddenly filled the hall. Chu Mo turned his head and immediately saw a woman in a white, traditional Hanfu, playing passionately in the center of the hall.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he locked his gaze on the woman in white, and after a moment, he burst into a speechless chuckle!
That person reminded him of a girl who used to play the zither at the Emperor’s Pavilion restaurant for Chu Mo in the old days.
“Chu, do you know the person playing the zither?”
Fan Zhijian, sitting to the right of Chu Mo, raised his eyebrows and asked. Chu Mo shook his head slightly and said with a soft sigh,
“No, I used to know a girl, a student at the Music Conservatory, who liked to perform at high-end venues on her days off. The person on stage strongly resembles that friend of mine!”
No sooner had Chu Mo finished speaking than the tall woman with straight, black hair who had been sitting silently beside him suddenly spoke up,
“Mr. Chu, do you like the zither? As it happens, I know a thing or two about it. How about I play a piece for you later?”
As the words of Jiang Nuonuo, the tall woman with straight, black hair, finished, Wu Sihai, the Family Head of the Wu family, suddenly laughed and said,
“Hahaha, that’s a good idea. Chu, here’s what I think: Let Miss Jiang take the stage and play a piece later. If her performance is satisfactory to you, I’ll personally give her a big gift. How about that?”
Wu Sihai was known for his hearty laughter and generosity. With his net worth in the hundreds of billions, and in the company of such elite tycoons, the “big gift” he mentioned would likely be worth no less than ten million. Anything less wouldn’t hold up in front of this group of top magnates!
The eldest son of the Wu family, Wu Yaoming, had had a minor conflict with Chu Mo at an auction, but later he took the initiative to reconcile, and Chu Mo did not hold it against him.
Wu Sihai had made efforts to repair the relationship between the Wu family and Chu Mo, and as Chu Mo’s rise accelerated, Wu Sihai naturally valued their relationship even more.
By making such a suggestion now, Wu Sihai also intended to please Chu Mo.
A flash of excitement immediately appeared in the eyes of the tall woman with straight, black hair across from them.
She had been listening to the tycoons’ conversation the whole time, aware that they were discussing things ordinary people couldn’t touch in a lifetime.
Now, with an opportunity to get closer to these magnates, how could she pass it up?
Just as the tall woman with straight, black hair started to blush, Cao Renyi, sitting across from Chu Mo, also spoke up cheerfully,
“Hahaha, I can’t miss out on such an interesting occasion. Chu is generous, donating a hundred billion to the One Yuan Foundation.
I know you, Chu, don’t lack for necessities or luxuries, so here’s the deal: if that girl can entertain Chu and make you happy later, aside from the big gift Wu Sihai will give her, this old man will also give her a big gift.”
“Within my means, I can grant you a wish, my little girl. This opportunity is rare, so you must strive hard!”
Ranked sixth on the Forbes list, with a net worth of one hundred and ninety billion and controlling three trillion in Star Moon Technology—a wish from such a person!
If the wish is well-chosen, it could be enough to make an ordinary person soar!
The girl named Jiang Nuonuo suddenly stood up, her elegant black hair fluttering slightly in the wind, her breathing becoming heavier.
At that moment, several top tycoons at the dinner table suddenly became interested.
If Wu Sihai wanted to eliminate the previous estrangement with Chu Mo, and Cao Renyi was moved by Chu Mo’s one hundred billion dollar donation, the other tycoons were simply intrigued by the fun and joined in the excitement.
The lord of Magic City touched his chin, finding Chu Mo’s previous twenty billion financial aid enormously beneficial to the entire family. Not only could he join in the fun, but also bridge relations with Chu Mo. Not wanting to miss this chance, he said with a smile:
“Since Mr. Wu and Mr. Cao have placed their bets, I, this old man, cannot fall behind. So, little girl, when you get on stage, if you can earn Chu Mo’s applause for your performance, I’ll treat you to a family feast.
Girl, in the whole of Magic City, the people I’ve personally invited to dine at our family feast can be counted on one hand!”
As Lu’s words fell, in the center of the hall, the woman in white was reaching the climax of her performance, the music as majestic as mountains and flowing water, truly stirring the soul and ambition!
The head of the Lin family, Lin Youyi, smiled faintly and began speaking:
“How can I miss out on such an interesting event? I just sold a calligraphy to Mr. Chu and made a profit of thirty-six million. It doesn’t feel right to keep that money.
So, little girl, if you can satisfy Mr. Chu, consider the thirty-six million as Mr. Chu’s reward to you. I’ll add an extra ten million and buy you a Bugatti Veyron worth forty-six million!”
Among the four great families, the Wu family, Lin family, and Lu family have all spoken, leaving only the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Weimin, in silence. Just then, as the performance of the woman in white ended and she rose to bow, the deep-breathing Zhou Weimin spoke softly:
“Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I can’t spoil the mood, can I? So, Jiang Nuonuo, is it? Mr. Lin has promised you a car, I’ll help complete the set with a house.
If you can please Mr. Chu, I have a residence in Tomson Yipin that has been vacant; feel free to move in.”
For these top tycoons with fortunes in the hundreds of billions, a few million or even tens of millions of dollars is nothing more than crumbs. It would be a joke to say such sums would be painful for them.
A single collectible item from any of these top tycoons is worth hundreds of millions, and even billions, so they truly don’t care about such a small wager.
However, for the girl with long black hair, this musical performance could be a turning point in her life.
Chu Mo’s gaze fell upon the girl with long black hair, seeing her eyes full of pleading and desire. He glanced at Dong Xuner beside him!
Since the girl is Dong Xuner’s close friend, and since everyone’s spirits were so high, Chu Mo didn’t want to dampen the mood.
He nodded slightly, his voice carrying a hint of a smile:
“It’s rare to see the bosses so spirited. Miss Jiang, I’ll bother you then!”
In the center of the hall, the woman in white finished playing, about to step down with her zither, while Jiang Nuonuo, with her elegant black hair, took a step forward.
The butterfly-like girl’s face flushed; she took deep breaths, trying to calm her nerves.
Then, she stepped out, striding with determination towards the center of the hall!
It was just one performance that could change her entire life—a grand gamble!
