Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 103 Hundred Billion Net Worth

A month ago, while eating barbecue with his best buddy Li Fei, Chu Mo, who had not yet received an unlimited bank card, was at the nadir of his life.

At that time, his parents had begun to urge him to return to his hometown to settle down and honestly get married and have children; at that time, he was working himself to death for a salary of barely seven or eight thousand a month, most of which went towards paying the rent; at that time, even buying a cup of coffee necessitated careful budgeting.

It was also at that time, driven to desperation and completely exhausted, that Chu Mo lamented to his buddy.

How wonderful it would be to be kept by a rich woman.

Although it was just a joke, it was also the truest desire in his heart.

He had even discussed with Li Fei what the ideal rich woman would be like: she must have a net worth of at least one billion, be no older than forty, good-looking, with a sexy figure...

Of course, at that time, the two who could only afford the cheapest beer at the barbecue joint were just boasting; even if they were truly eager, they had no way of meeting a real rich woman.

Time flies, and now, just one month later, when his status was no longer the same, in this executive training program at Fudan University, Chu Mo finally met a rich woman who previously only appeared in his dreams.

Of course, calling her a rich woman might be an exaggeration; in truth, this mature woman who wore a pair of transparent crystal sandals and a fine spaghetti-strap long dress was still single.

This mature and seductive woman is Liu Manli.

Speaking of Liu Manli, one must mention her father Liu Zhiyu.

Liu Zhiyu is the chairman of Zhiyu Real Estate, a man full of legendary stories.

Liu Zhiyu grew up in the countryside, in poverty, and only went to elementary school until the third grade, dropping out due to his father's death.

With his weak and sickly mother, he struggled through life with his sister; at twelve, to help his sister attend school, Liu Zhiyu followed a fellow villager to the city to work.

Being young, he was turned away even for dishwashing jobs; during the worst times, he fought with stray dogs for food and was chased away by beggars when sleeping under bridges, until a kind person took him in as an apprentice to repair bicycles, which finally settled him down.

At seventeen, his mother passed away, and the villagers helped bury her for the siblings; it was from that time that Liu Zhiyu realized that if he didn't want to be subservient to others for the rest of his life, he had to seize every opportunity and strive desperately.

And he did just that.

At thirty-one, he founded Zhiyu Real Estate; by forty-four he had successfully broken into the top one hundred on the Forbes list, and at forty-five he had his first and only daughter, Liu Manli.

From the moment of her birth, Liu Manli owned twenty percent of Zhiyu Real Estate, and her net worth reached a staggering seventeen billion.

Today, thirty-five years later, the eighty-year-old Liu Zhiyu has long retired, and Liu Manli, who inherited the entire Zhiyu Real Estate, topped the Hua Country Forbes list of female billionaires with a fortune of two hundred and forty-five billion.

Even among the top tycoons of Huaxia, she could rank in the top four.

This is a true top-notch tycoon.

Naturally, Chu Mo, even with his limited knowledge, had heard of this top-notch tycoon who frequently appeared on television, advertisements, and even in the news.

A month ago, when discussing with his buddy Li Fei which rich woman would be best to be kept by, the Liu Manli before him was the prime candidate.

With a fortune of two hundred billion, unmarried, fair-skinned and beautiful, at thirty-five years of age she was in her prime of maturity and allure, the ultimate goddess in the eyes of all men,

His heartbeat quickened for a brief moment, a sensation he hadn't even felt when meeting the big star Sun Qing Ruoxi.

Although Chu Mo was fully aware that his wealth could completely disregard the woman in front of him, he couldn't calm the flutter in his heart that he used to feel when seeing his idols.

His gaze inevitably rested on the mature woman with wavy long hair at the classroom door. Her retro-style dress made Liu Manli look mature and intelligent, and the dark color of her outfit made her skin look particularly fair and radiant.

The dress with a sling design and a cape added to her presence, making her skirts flutter with the wind as she moved, giving her an almost ethereal aura.

The svelte waist that could be encircled with a single hand and the perfect waist-to-hip ratio made her figure seem too good for a thirty-five-year-old woman, even surpassing many teenagers and young women in their twenties.

Chu Mo was sizing her up as he walked into the classroom on his own and elegantly sat in the front row. The woman, equally curious, glanced at Chu Mo and then spoke to the middle-aged man, Yu Mingda:

"Mr. Yu, who is this?"

As the chairman of Super New Technology and worth forty-two billion, Yu Mingda had no airs about him and instead seemed approachable as he replied:

"Ms. Liu, this young brother here is not someone simple. Recently, didn't Bafang International create a stir? This is Chu Mo, who spent a hundred billion to take over Bafang International. Brother Chu is a real scion of the wealthy, and his idea to create the Hundred Billion Wealthy Club is nothing short of staggering.

Just now, Brother Chu expressed some interest in Mo Du Financial Tower, that's why I was introducing him. With my status, I wouldn't dare touch such an asset."

Upon hearing this, the woman who was sitting elegantly at the front of the classroom slightly raised her eyebrows. Then she, a super magnate worth two hundred and forty billion, said casually:

Explore new worlds at empire

"Chu Mo... Are you also interested in Mo Du Financial Tower?"

Also?

Chu Mo, reading between the lines, glanced at Yu Mingda at his side. It looked like the introduction to Mo Du Financial Tower was intended for Liu Manli.

The middle-aged man by his side looked completely nonchalant, with no intention of offering an explanation for Chu Mo. Taking a slight breath, Chu Mo, with a calm gaze, spoke to the woman some ten meters away:

"I didn't know before, but after Mr. Yu gave me a brief introduction, I became somewhat interested. The Financial Tower, being the second tallest building in Mo Du, would be quite beneficial for my chain hotel business. Does Ms. Liu have plans for the Financial Tower?"

Hearing this, the woman who had carefully appraised Chu Mo for the first time, glanced deeply at Yu Mingda before she gracefully rose from her seat. With a fluid and elegant posture, she moved to the back row and sat down in front of the two men. Liu Manli spoke with a cold voice, sighing:

"I indeed had some thoughts on the Financial Tower, but the Zhou family's asking price is just too outrageous. According to normal valuation, even being Mo Du's second tallest building, the market value cannot exceed two hundred and thirty billion.

The Zhou family directly asked for two hundred and eighty billion... If they could lower it to two hundred and fifty billion, I might consider making a move. But at this price... tsk tsk."

Gently shaking her head, Liu Manli probed:

"Two hundred and eighty billion, what do you think about this price, Mr. Chu?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo slightly narrowed his eyes, took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and pulled out a tissue from his pocket to gently wipe the lenses. After putting the glasses back on, Chu Mo finally spoke softly:

"This price isn't too unacceptable, I suppose."

As he spoke, a flicker of sharp light appeared in the eyes of the woman sitting in front of him.

And the middle-aged man by his side, Yu Mingda, then stood up abruptly.
