Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 90: Chapter 088: Pie in the Sky

The Rolls-Royce Phantom led the way, followed closely by two Bentleys. When the trio of luxury cars arrived at the gate of the greeneries-lined boulevard in the villa district, the security did not stop them but allowed them to pass directly through.

The three cars proceeded in single file.

It wasn't simply because each of the cars was luxurious, but because the last time they had visited, the Rolls-Royce had already been issued a pass, and the on-duty security recognized the license plate number from a distance.

Otherwise, even a luxury car of high standing would have been stopped and checked.

The security on the greeneries-lined boulevard was just as strict as at the Emperor Xuan Villas.

Sitting in the back seat of the Phantom, Chu Mo closed his eyes to rest, while the elegantly intellectual Qin Zixuan gently reminded him from beside him,

"Mr. Chu, we have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mo, who had lightly opened his eyes, nodded nonchalantly. At that moment, the Phantom began to slow down and shortly after, stopped in front of Villa No. 13.

His personal bodyguard Shou Bo promptly opened the car door for himself. Chu Mo, getting out of the back seat, adjusted the golden glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. At this time, two maids already stood before him reverently, bowing as they said,

"Mr. Chu, good day to you. Miss Ruoxi Sun has been waiting in the living room for quite some time."

"Hmm."

Chu Mo nodded in response, then followed the two maids into the courtyard of the villa.

He casually surveyed Villa No. 13.

There were little bridges over flowing water, flowers in rich profusion, and to Chu Mo, the most impressive feature was the garden's exquisite appearance.

The swing moving in the wind on the empty space by the roadside caught Chu Mo's attention for an extra moment before he turned back, and the group had arrived at the villa entrance.

Stepping forward, his gaze fell upon an elegant living room, filled with Hua Country charm.

The living room made great use of wood decor and expansive white surfaces, interspersed with various paintings and a mix of light and dark shades for transition, which emanated an incredibly grand atmosphere. Directly opposite the entrance door was the foyer, featuring an open-work design in the center with an antique vase placed on top that was clearly extraordinary.

By the corner of the wall, there was a potted plant with an aesthetically pleasing and unique shape. Hanging in front of the door was an expressive painting, spotlit by a dedicated light that added a touch of mystique.

A brief look was enough to reveal that the owner of the villa must be a person with very high standards for quality of life.

Then, as Chu Mo halted, Zhan Bingxue, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa opposite, rose and approached, taking the initiative to introduce,

"Mr. Chu, this is Miss Ruoxi Sun Qing, our nation's goddess of Hua Country, so I will spare you the introduction."

As she finished speaking, Zhan Bingxue turned her attention to the lady beside her and continued,

"Miss Ruoxi, this is Mr. Chu. If you have any requests or matters to discuss, you may speak with Mr. Chu."

After the introductions, Zhan Bingxue took a slight step back, allowing space for the two newcomers,

At this moment, Chu Mo's gaze gently swept over the woman before him. Despite having seen her countless times on television and in movies, being so close to a superstar of her stature for the first time, Chu Mo couldn't help but feel awe at her breathtaking beauty.

Sun Qing was dressed in a light purple dress, oozing with a sense of fashion and a retro style.

On her snow-white and crystal-clear wrist was a delicate bracelet, her shoulder-length hair casually pinned up, a few strands teasingly falling across her forehead adding a playful charm to what was otherwise a look of divine beauty.

The slight curve of her red lips imbued her whole being with a sensual allure, yet those lively eyes reflected an entirely different purity and elegance.

In that moment, Chu Mo's mind flashed with a line of poetry,

In the North resides a lady peerless and independent.

Even Zhou Yuanyuan, with her demonic beauty, seemed dimmed by half in her presence.

"Mr. Chu really is quite young. When Xiao Xue told me about you, I actually thought you would be a middle-aged man with a pot belly," said the world-class beauty, her striking eyes gleaming, and a pleasant smile graced her lips which momentarily dazzled Chu Mo, prompting him too to smile.

"I had heard that Miss Sun Qing lived next door and had always wanted to visit, but feared disturbing her peace, so I delayed until now. Meeting today is truly astonishing, like encountering a Heavenly Immortal," Chu Mo said earnestly, without a hint of frivolity in his eyes, naturally appearing sincere.

In front of the woman known as the number one goddess of Hua Country, Sun Qing beamed a light smile, her bell-like laughter echoing in the ear, free from entanglement. With a casual gesture, she replied with a smile:

"I had thought Mr. Chu was a man of few words and laughs. To think you enjoy joking so much, Mr. Chu, please feel free to do as you wish."

It was only then that host and guest took their seats.

Sitting in the place of honor, Sun Qing wore a light purple dress, exuding extraordinary elegance and composure.

Chu Mo, sitting opposite on the sofa, had already shifted his gaze away from her, while Zhan Bingxue by his side appeared obedient and gentle.

Qin Zixuan, standing behind him, looked curiously at the famous star before her; after all, this superstar who had swept across Hua Country was far from a stranger to her.

"Miss Sun Qing, the painting behind you must be an original, right? I'm not very knowledgeable about antiques and calligraphy, but I wonder if I might have the chance to learn from you," he said.

Upon hearing this, Sun Qing, with a touch of pride visible in her eyes, glanced at the painting behind her and nodded:

"I acquired it at a charity auction last year. If Mr. Chu is interested, I can ask the owner for another one.

"For a wealthy businessman like Mr. Chu, having a piece of art in your living room is also a significant promotional opportunity for those young artists," she said with a smile.

Chu Mo merely smiled and did not continue the topic.

As the maid served tea, using the opportunity of drinking tea, Chu Mo casually mentioned:

"I've heard that Miss Sun Qing has good relations with several artists under Shi Yuan Entertainment. If Miss Sun Qing were to reach out to them, what are the chances you could persuade them to leave Shi Yuan Entertainment?

"Of course, we would cover the breach of contract penalty, and after I acquire Shi Yuan Entertainment, we can renegotiate their contracts, promising them far greater resources in the future.

"Naturally, if Miss Sun Qing can accomplish this, I will be sincerely grateful for this favor and friendship," he said.

Putting down his teacup, Chu Mo looked at the woman with a stunning beauty, who had also composed her expression, Sun Qing, with eyes like jewels, blinked gently.

Her long lashes fluttering like little enticing hooks, the top superstar of Hua Country's entertainment circle spoke with a voice as melodious as a lullaby:

"It seems Mr. Chu is preparing to make a move on Shi Yuan Entertainment... To be honest, Ding Xiaoni and those friends are quite close to me. I wouldn't want to cause them trouble due to me, so there are some things I need to be clear about."

A brilliant light suddenly appeared in her eyes, and in that moment, Sun Qing, now more sharply focused, said seriously:

"Is Mr. Chu planning a casual investment in an entertainment company, perhaps luring a few second and third-tier celebrities for small gains? Or are you solely intent on taking down Shi Yuan Entertainment, and once they are defeated, you'll simply wash your hands of it?"

Hearing this, he didn't immediately respond but carefully observed the woman before him. Chu Mo realized he had underestimated her.

He had thought that with enough benefits, this woman named Sun Qing would be very willing to cooperate with his plans. But now, it seemed she wasn't prioritizing personal gain; instead, she was seriously considering her friends' welfare.

In that case, he had to show enough sincerity to persuade her.

Chu Mo, who had been planning to bring Qin Zixuan into the spotlight, did not hide his intentions as he plainly said:

"Originally, it was indeed just about dragging Shi Yuan Entertainment down, but now, I've developed some interest in the entertainment industry.

"I will take over Shi Yuan Entertainment within three days, and that won't change regardless of whether or not you help, Miss Sun Qing. However, if you are willing to join Shi Yuan, I will add an investment of ten billion.

"And I will ensure that all the company's resources will be inclined towards Miss Sun Qing. As an investor, I will hire top international directors to tailor scripts for you. As long as you work hard, becoming an international superstar within three years is not unlikely.

"Of course, ten billion is not the limit. If you achieve results that satisfy me, I will consider additional investments. By then, building an entertainment empire would also be within the realm of possibility," he said.

As Chu Mo finished speaking, the woman in front of him suddenly smiled lightly.

"Mr. Chu really excels at painting grand visions," she said with a laugh.
