Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 88: Chapter 086 Exposed Fangs

"Mr. Chu, I've carefully reviewed the contract, and there are no issues. I could even say the other party has shown much sincerity. They've made many concessions. Of course, if Mr. Chu still wants to strive for greater benefits, I believe there is room to continue negotiating."

In the grand hall of Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and tie spoke with a calm and solemn voice. The man appeared to be in his forties, with a buzzcut and a square face, exuding utmost professionalism.

As the other party finished speaking, the butler standing by his side chimed in:

"Mr. Chu, Zhao Ziqi is my college classmate. We have a friendship that spans over twenty years. Ziqi is currently a key member at Hua Zheng Law Firm and highly capable in his field."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo, who had a subdued expression, turned his attention to Li Tingting opposite him. Although this young woman, who had lunch with him, seemed composed, a hint of tension and anticipation unavoidably flashed across her once tranquil eyes.

You're still not quite there with your composure!

Chu Mo's lips curved slightly as he beckoned with his hand, and the maid at his side promptly passed him a gold-plated pen. He took a breath and said casually:

"No need to fuss, let's leave it at that."

As he spoke, Chu Mo bent down and flamboyantly signed his name on the contract in front of him. After tucking away the pen, he placed the 190,000-dollar pen in front of the young woman, smiling lightly:

"Since you fought for this contract, consider this pen a memento."

As the words fell, Chu Mo turned to Danny at his side and instructed:

"Danny, please see to it that Lawyer Zhao is well treated. Compensate him at the highest industry standards."

The middle-aged lawyer named Zhao Ziqi stood up gently and extended his hand proactively:

"I've been classmates with Danny for decades; this is nothing to fuss over."

Chu Mo stood up lightly and shook hands with him, smiling as he spoke:

"I can't avoid troubling Lawyer Zhao in the future. If you don't charge me every time, I'll feel embarrassed to trouble you."

After shaking hands and bidding farewell to the middle-aged lawyer, Danny personally saw the man out.

At this moment, Zhou Tingting, who held the contract and a signing pen in her hands, was slightly conflicted. After a moment, the woman gritted her teeth and said softly:

"Um, Mr. Chu... If there are any new dishes you need me to taste-test in the future, just call me, and I'll come right away."

A hint of amusement flashed in Chu Mo's eyes as he shook his head and said amidst the young woman's complex emotions:

"There's no need. I wouldn't want to interrupt your research for a meal.

Ms. Li, the three hundred million investment will be transferred to you in three installments according to the contract. The first batch of funds will arrive no later than tomorrow.

When the new equipment from the United States arrives, I will have to trouble you and the other frontline researchers even more. After all, it's a three hundred million project I'm investing in real money. I don't want to see it go to waste."

Chu Mo wore a smile, but the young woman in front of him bowed deeply, her face earnest as she said:

"Rest assured, Mr. Chu. My teacher and I have been working day and night on this project for three years. We have a lot of confidence in its success. Moreover, I promise to work even harder than before."

Seeing the young woman eager to return, Chu Mo didn't keep her any longer. After all, she had to report the good news of the contract signing to the school. Nodding towards the head maid, Chu Mo said casually:

"Have Shou Bo drive Ms. Li back to the university."

"No, that's not necessary... Mr. Chu, I can manage on my own...."

Li Tingting hurriedly shook her head, but Chu Mo just looked at her calmly. The young woman bit her lip and didn't insist any further. She nodded lightly once more in thanks:

"Then I'll be troubled, Mr. Chu."

The maid escorted the woman out, and the once lively living room quieted down once again.

Chu Mo stretched lazily and did a few chest expansion exercises. Just as he was about to go upstairs for a nap, his pocket vibrated with the sound of a text message alert.

Upon opening it, he found it to be a message from his college classmate Du Yanyan.

"Old classmate, it was really a surprise to see you this time, and I'm very happy.

You've changed a lot, but everyone has changed a lot. There's some nostalgia, and I don't know what to say... Anyway, thanks for your hospitality.

Also, as a thank you, I'll write a nice article praising Bafang International (smiley face).

No need to reply."

Squinting slightly, Chu Mo tapped a few characters on the screen but quickly deleted them and put his phone back in his pocket, then strode toward the living room entrance.

It was already afternoon, and the sun overhead was still scorching hot. He strolled to the huge swimming pool in front of Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One.

He took off his coat, clad only in boxer briefs, took a deep breath, and then plunged into the pool with vigor.

This was Chu Mo's first swim in the villa's pool. Because of his rash dive, water had gotten into his ears by the time his head emerged from the surface.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Chu Mo shook his head vigorously, only then noticing that four maids had already taken their positions around the pool.

A bit further away, two bodyguards stood diligently nearby, ready to respond to any emergencies.

The life of the wealthy, it really is so unadorned and simple.

Feeling slightly emotional, he dove underwater again, full of energy. Chu Mo frolicked in the pool, venting his abundant energy.

After half an hour, an utterly exhausted Chu Mo climbed out of the pool, and a maid immediately came forward to towel his hair and wrap him in a bath towel.

Taking the elevator up to the third floor, he took a shower in the bathroom, changed into clean clothes, and lazily flopped onto the big bed, about to close his eyes when he heard the gentle voice of the head maid.

"Mr. Chu, you've just done a lot of exercise and must be feeling tired. Would you like me to give you a massage to relax?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo nodded slightly without even bothering to lift his eyelids. Soon after, a figure approached his side, and shortly, a pair of small tender hands began massaging him with just the right pressure.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Mo squinted and glanced at the head maid standing before him, the woman who had just been promoted to a level seven maid, focused and serious.

It was then that he heard footsteps. Turning his head gently, he saw another maid holding his phone and quickly walking over.

"Mr. Chu, it's a call from Miss Xiner."

He took the phone from the maid's hand and pressed answer. Indeed, he was soon greeted by the voice of Chu Xiner, sounding as meek as a little rabbit.

"Brother, do you remember the guy who made a drinking bet with you at Tao Yun's birthday party last time in the KTV?"

Reenergized by the question, Chu Mo sat up straight and said, "The one named Yun Changzai, what about him?"

"That's him. Yun Changzai likes Zhou Yuanyuan, and the whole school knows that. But lately, he has been using the excuse of chasing Zhou Yuanyuan to get close to me, bringing me small gifts and such.

He's also been trying to pry your information from me, subtly and not so subtly. Then, just now, he asked me out for coffee this Saturday and said to bring you along, as an apology for last time. I said I'd think about it... Brother, what do you think...!"

"Agreed,"

Chu Mo interrupted Chu Xiner mid-sentence, already on his feet and walking towards the balcony. Against the backdrop of the setting sun, squinting slightly, he spoke earnestly:

"Tell him I'll certainly go on Saturday, you don't need to worry about anything else. On Saturday, you and Tao Yun come to the villa, I'll handle everything."

"Mm...!"
