Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 47: Chapter 045 Chu Xiner's Persistence

"Chu Brother, are you there?! (Pitiful!)"

A message notification came through on the phone. Opening WeChat, I saw that the contact with the nickname "Mischievous" had sent me a message.

If I hadn't just checked their Moments, I definitely would not have known who it was!

Lying on the soft big bed, Chu Mo slightly turned his body and didn't understand why this girl named Tao Yun would be contacting him.

However, after remembering she was Chu Xiner's roommate, he didn't hesitate and replied to the message!

"Hmm!"

Sending a "Hmm" followed by an exclamation mark, it was obvious that the other party was waiting for my response, so it was only a moment before the phone vibrated again.

"Chu Brother, I really did my best, but Xin'er is so stubborn. Once she sets her mind on something, not even eight oxen could pull her back. (Sobbing)"

So… what exactly happened?

However, judging by the content of the message, it was about Chu Xiner, and Chu Mo was really concerned about his cousin.

Lazily lying in bed, Chu Mo unconsciously sat up straight as he quickly replied:

"What happened?"

The wait was a bit longer this time. Two minutes later, a long block of text appeared on the phone screen.

"Chu Brother, didn't you tell us to take care of Xin'er? You said you hoped Xin'er could have an easier time, and you even gave her a bank card with 300,000 RMB. That money is more than enough for her schooling, so we all urged her to enjoy life and stop working as hard as she used to.

But Xin'er wouldn't listen at all; she's still working part-jobs at the library and handing out flyers on the streets after school. We're worried she might get into trouble, so we followed her.

We didn't know before that she works every night until two in the morning, and she gets up at six sharp to study, with very heavy dark circles under her eyes. She said she's been keeping up this routine for two years. I'm afraid if this keeps going, her body won't be able to take it. But no matter how we try to persuade her, she won't listen.

Today is actually my birthday. I was hoping to use my birthday as an excuse to get Xin'er to rest for a day, but she said she had already made arrangements to work part-time at a restaurant tonight. With no other options, I lied that Chu Brother, you were also coming to my birthday party.

After hearing that you were coming to my birthday gathering, she hesitated for a long time before agreeing to cancel tonight's job... (Sobbing)!"

It took two minutes to read through the long message, and Chu Mo was momentarily stunned.

He hadn't paid attention to Xin'er recently because he always felt she could handle her own affairs.

Chu Mo knew Xin'er was a very independent and strong-willed girl, so he didn't plan to interfere with her life going forward.

However, according to his plans, he had provided her with enough living expenses so she wouldn't have to work so hard at part-time jobs anymore.

She could go shopping with her dormitory roommates and enjoy the good life of university.

In fact, Chu Mo had already decided to transfer her 20,000 RMB per month for living expenses...!

But no matter how much Chu Mo planned, he could never have expected that Xin'er, who clearly didn't need to work so hard, would still choose the toughest road!

After a long silence and a soft sigh, Chu Mo's fingers flew across the phone screen, rapidly typing out a message and pressing send!

"Send me the time and place for the dinner, I will talk to Xin'er about it!"

The phone vibrated briefly. After glancing at the message from the other party, Chu Mo, feeling a sudden emptiness, tossed his phone onto the bedside table, then flopped hard onto the bed!

"If you all work that hard, what am I supposed to do as a lazybones?"

Muttering softly, Chu Mo, who had woken up early to exercise and then helped out in the kitchen all morning, was truly tired. Closing his eyes, he fell into sleep without realizing it.

He slept straight through until he woke naturally, opening his eyes with a vague memory of dreaming something about his childhood school days; but the harder he tried to recall, the less he could remember.

Shaking his head and washing his face in the bathroom, he walked onto the balcony to find the sun slanting westward; he had slept for at least three or four hours, which probably meant another sleepless night ahead.

The balcony on the third floor overlooked the entire yard, where a professional gardener took care of the plants. Even every cluster of flowers and every patch of grass had a strict layout plan, so from this higher vantage point, one could enjoy a completely different view.

His gaze unconsciously fell on the distant Building No. 8, that courtyard of over a thousand square meters also belonged to him.

However, because he had the No. 1 villa, he had never lived in the No. 8 villa since he bought it.

Wasn't that a bit of a waste?

As soon as this thought popped into his head, Chu Mo immediately shook his head; it was better not to think too much about such matters, or else he'd get a headache!

After coming down from the balcony and taking a shower in the bathroom, he changed into a new set of clothes. When he took the elevator down to the first-floor lobby, the figure of the butler Danny appeared just in time!

In the lobby, two maids were wiping the sofa. Seeing Chu Mo's figure, they immediately stopped their work and bent over to greet him.

These were professionally trained maids from Emperor Xuan Property Management, specifically groomed to serve the wealthy with absolute respect for their masters.

This life of being served no matter what one did had gone from initial discomfort to normalcy for Chu Mo in just a week!

"Tell the kitchen I won't be dining at home tonight; you can just prepare something for yourselves. Have Shen Shuanglong get the car ready—I'll need it later!"

Seeing Danny turn to leave, Chu Mo suddenly asked:

"Is the bodyguard arranged for Miss Zhan in place? Miss Zhan is preparing for a very important event recently, and her safety must not be compromised. Right, it would be best to have a sharp woman bodyguard!"

Danny, who was about to arrange the vehicle, immediately stopped and reverently said:

"We have specialized security services provided by Emperor Xuan Property Management, and I've already notified them. Following your instructions, Mr. Chu, six bodyguards have been arranged for Miss Zhan.

Since there are fewer female bodyguards, only three are available. Therefore, we have paired them up, one man and one woman, to form a team, providing 24-hour protection for Miss Zhan in shifts of three teams a day!

If you wish to have all female bodyguards, it would take about two days!"

Hearing this and casually waving his hand, Chu Mo responded indifferently:

"There's no need for changes; the current arrangement will do!"

With a light wave of his hand, waiting for Danny to leave, he lifted his wrist to check the time.

Four twenty, there was still an hour and forty minutes until the evening gathering!

With time to spare and finding himself at loose ends, Chu Mo suddenly pointed to the beautiful maid beside him and casually asked:

"What's your name?"

Standing in black high heels with a slender figure about 1.75 meters tall, she bowed slightly while speaking respectfully:

"Mr. Chu, my name is Xu Ping!"

Chu Mo, lounging lazily on the sofa, slightly raised his eyebrows, looking at the tall and graceful girl in front of him, and asked curiously:

"How much is your monthly salary?"

As the owner of the No. 1 villa and the big boss who paid everyone's salary, it was indeed somewhat improper for him not to know his own staff's wages.

Hearing this, the woman named Xu Ping softly replied:

"Mr. Chu, Emperor Xuan Villas is different from other places. Here, each maid is classified from level one to nine; the higher the level, the higher the salary. Therefore, some highly educated and qualified individuals specially apply for maid positions. I am a level-four maid, and my monthly salary is 17,000 RMB!"

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Chu Mo truly didn't know that Emperor Xuan had such a system.

However, if they really used this method and enticed people with high salaries, they might indeed be able to attract some high-quality individuals. With a glint of interest in his eyes, Chu Mo was about to ask how much a top-level, level-nine maid made a month when Butler Danny reappeared before him.

"Mr. Chu, the car is ready!"
