Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Mr. Chu, how do you feel about this T-shirt? Your skin has a bronze tone, which makes this shirt a particularly good match for you!"

Standing at one meter seventy-two, Zhan Bingxue was nearly level with Chu Mo's eyebrows in her seven-centimeter heels, clad in a light blue sleeveless shawl over a white blouse and a scarf, her pants reaching down to her ankles accentuating the length of her legs.

Noticing the distraction of the man beside her, Zhan Bingxue felt a twinge of irritation. She pursed her lips, contemplating a burst of anger, but remembering the man's identity, she could only let out a resigned sigh:

"Mr. Chu, are you distracted by something?"

At her words, the previously preoccupied Chu Mo abruptly came back to reality, taking in the luxurious surroundings of the clothing store, and it dawned on him that he was there because he had asked Zhan Bingxue to help him choose some suitable clothes!

He really shouldn't have drunk so much, he thought; the previous night at the bar, he had been flattered by three girls from the band, and carried away by the compliments, Chu Mo had downed a few extra drinks. Naturally, not being used to drinking much, Chu Mo went home with a splitting headache and had slept poorly the entire night.

After waking up at noon and eating casually, a bath made him feel somewhat better. Then he promptly received a call from Zhan Bingxue inviting him to dinner.

Knowing she wanted to express her gratitude, Chu Mo didn't hesitate and accepted her invitation.

However, upon hearing that she had picked a five-star hotel as their meeting place and seeing his own cheap duds, not to mention how out of place his jeans and shirt would look next to her formal attire, Chu Mo shamelessly requested her company to buy clothes together!

The Hermès boutique was as opulent as ever, with its elegant and noble hall, a stark contrast to the jostling atmosphere of large marketplaces.

Looking in the direction she pointed, Chu Mo showed little interest in the style of the T-shirt, but upon seeing the price tag of 3800 RMB, he shook his head slightly, finding it somewhat different from what he had expected.

In Chu Mo's estimate, this shopping trip should at least cost a million or two; even a casual clothing item should be at the base price of tens of thousands. Luxury goods, after all, should have the essence of luxury.

A few thousand for a shirt seemed a bit lacking in class, didn't it?

Seeing Chu Mo shake his head, Zhan Bingxue, without any hesitation, continued looking for other options.

"Mr. Chu, are you planning to move to Emperor's Mansion?"

While holding a light blue casual suit, she sized it up against Chu Mo's frame. Her soft, delicate fingers casually brushed his arm, sending a spark of static electricity through them both, causing a momentary pause.

After regaining her composure, Zhan Bingxue saw him nod and seemed to casually mention:

"The current market price for Building One of Emperor's Mansion is over eight hundred million. Just yesterday, Mr. Li mentioned he spent one hundred and thirty-five million on renovations alone. All the materials used are top-notch worldwide. Mr. Chu, if you're willing, I am confident I can sell Building One for nine hundred million within a month!"

His gaze shifting from the suit with a price tag of forty-nine thousand, Chu Mo raised an eyebrow slightly perplexed:

"Are you saying I've made a profit of one hundred million?"

He pointed at the suit, offhandedly remarking, "This one doesn't look bad!"

"Li Tianming is the chairman of Li Group, ranked one hundred and fifty-third on the Forbes list last year… Mr. Li left me his number, saying he'd like to invite you for a meal when you have the time!"

Chu Mo glanced at the woman beside him. Even though she strived for an indifferent expression, her earlobes couldn't hide a touch of red!

"Between you two…"

Chu Mo was beginning to think there might have been something between Zhan Bingxue and that Mr. Li and wasn't quite sure how to broach the subject, when she directly met his gaze, with a serious tone:

"There's nothing between Mr. Li and me. The night before last, over dinner, Mr. Li said that if I could represent you, we could continue negotiations; if not, there'd be no need to proceed… I took the initiative!"

So that was it, Chu Mo thought. He'd bought an apartment, and without realizing it, he had gained a spokesperson out of the blue!

Chu Mo didn't linger over the decision and waved his hand, saying,

"After all, I've been granted a favor, so tell Mr. Li that I'll treat him to a meal when I have time!"

"Okay!"

With a slightly trembling voice, the light in Zhan Bingxue's eyes seemed to become even brighter, even somewhat dazzling.

So could it be that she had really made some sort of connection with Mr. Chu?

"How about these shoes? The heels are about two centimeters tall, your figure will look more upright when you wear them!"

Receiving a suit, shirt, and shoes from the other person, Chu Mo, carrying a bunch of clothes, went to try them on in the changing room.

In front of him was a large floor-to-ceiling mirror; the space around was ample, not feeling crowded even if he stretched his arms out. A light perfume scent constantly lingered around his nose.

He took off the t-shirt and jeans he had been wearing for several years, and after changing into the smooth, soft shirt and putting on a light blue suit, Chu Mo found that he actually had potential to wear clothes well; at least it didn't look awkward on him.

After putting on trousers and stepping into black leather shoes, he wasn't sure if it was psychological, but this outfit, totaling over 150,000 RMB, made him feel quite different.

Specifically, Chu Mo couldn't pinpoint what was different from before, but he felt much more at ease.

Glancing at the old clothes thrown on the seat, after taking out his wallet and keys, Chu Mo had no intention of bringing these clothes he had worn for a few years back with him.

"It's time to make a break with the past... from today on, I'll move to the villa!"

With his decision made, the light that had always been hidden in his eyes became brighter.

Pushing open the fitting room door, Zhan Bingxue, with a 95-point visage, was waiting obediently at the door. He couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but at the moment he opened the door, Chu Mo thought he saw a trace of shyness and allure in her eyes!

"Do you have any plans for the future?"

Chu Mo didn't ask about how he looked in his clothes, he could tell from the astonished gaze of the saleswoman beside him that he must be close to the bottom line of a tall, rich, and handsome man, right?

"I plan to resign!"

Zhan Bingxue's voice was a bit uneasy, and her stunningly beautiful face also carried a hint of cautiousness.

"No rush!"

At the cashier, he took out his Black Gold Card and, amid the cashier's respectful and sweet smile, entered the pin. In a moment, a transaction of 156,000 RMB was completed.

After taking back his card and declining the offer to apply for a membership card, Chu Mo walked out of the store. Zhan Bingxue, wearing high heels, immediately followed by his side.

"Sunshine Residence, Building 7, Unit 1306—that's the apartment Yang Xuan and I shared. Find the owner and buy it for me, don't worry about the price, just handle it as soon as possible. I'll move to Villa No. 1 today. See if there's anything missing in the villa and get it ready for me."

His steady voice echoed by her ear...

With elegant dark red hair cascading over her shoulders and delicate skin under the white shirt like fine jade, the substantial light in her eyes made Zhan Bingxue nod immediately!

Looking at the tall, steady, and handsome young man beside her, Zhan Bingxue's breath became a bit heavy at that moment...!

After a while, possibly having thought of something, a blush quickly spread across her stunning face!
