Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Your next journey awaits at empire

Dressed in a magnificent evening gown with crystal high heels, Liu Manli smiled as she introduced Chu Mo.

Standing before them, Zhou Weimin, the second-generation head of the Zhou family, took a half-step forward and extended his hand, saying:

"Mr. Chu, hello. I am Zhou Weimin. It\'s truly an honor that you could attend my nephew Tianqi\'s wedding."

With an introduction by Liu Manli, who herself warranted the Zhou family\'s attention, and given her formal introduction just now, Zhou Weimin, who was about to take over as the family head, instantly elevated Chu Mo\'s status.

He approached with a full face of enthusiasm, and it was just this small detail that most guests would not obtain such treatment.

"Mr. Zhou, hello."

Chu Mo nodded slightly and shook hands gently with Zhou Weimin, then soon turned his attention to the newlyweds standing to one side.

"Mr. Chu, hello..."

As the star of the evening, the Zhou family\'s eldest grandson, Zhou Tianqi, also extended his hand in greeting.

Chu Mo\'s gaze was fixed on him; the two were of similar age. Zhou Tianqi had a tall and slim figure, his handsome appearance exuded an air of rich nobility and refined elegance.

He was indeed the scion of a century-old family, unlike rich, nouveau riche types like Yun Changzai, whose demeanor and even their appearance paled in comparison.

From him, Chu Mo could feel an aura that genuinely commanded respect.

"Tianqi, happy marriage."

...

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Zhou Weimin, along with Zhou Tianqi and his wife, invited Chu Mo and a few others to step onto the red carpet.

Dressed in a lavish evening gown, Liu Manli invited Chu Mo to join her, and after a slight hesitation, Chu Mo smiled and stepped forward.

On his left was Liu Manli, Hua Country\'s richest woman, mature and seductive.

Close on his right was the tall Yang Xuan, whose face was slightly flushed as she tightly clung to Chu Mo\'s arm.

The red carpet leading to the exhibition hall was about thirty meters long, flanked by journalists from all over the country, with camera flashes that scarcely ceased.

Walking on this red carpet was already a great honor for many entertainers in Hua Country.

Liu Manli, well accustomed to such scenes, carried herself with elegance and poise. The female billionaire, worth two hundred billion, radiated a dazzling splendor.

On the other hand, Yang Xuan, despite her best efforts to remain calm, was shaking slightly, as she had never experienced such a scene nor seen much of the world.

Although Chu Mo also lacked such experiences, his state of mind had changed completely during this time. On one hand, his unlimited bank card provided him with ample confidence and assurance; in terms of wealth alone, not to mention any single individual present, even the combined assets of everyone would not be impressive in comparison.

On the other hand, while the Zhou family was indeed one of the four great families of the city, they only controlled assets in the hundreds of billions. According to Chu Mo\'s plans, within a year, the chain of hotels managed by Zhan Bingxue under him would reach a hundred billion in scale, not losing out to the Zhou family.

And in the future, under him would definitely be more than just Zhan Bingxue, but also Qin Zixuan, Jiang Tao...

Naturally, it was this foundation and planning that allowed Chu Mo to disregard the opulence before him.

What might make ordinary people nervous, or even cause Yang Xuan beside him to feel vain and satisfied, was no longer tempting to Chu Mo.

He walked with calm and ordinary strides; at this moment, Chu Mo\'s pace was neither rushed nor slow, steady and unhurried...

Flanks of reporters were densely packed on both sides, continuously clicking their cameras—the flashes punctuating the moment.

...

Even though the red carpet was lengthy, it was equally brief; there was no need to intentionally pause like those stars looking to stand out, striking various poses for the photographers—simply strolling across, the few dozen meters took only a minute to traverse.

Having walked the red carpet and entered the hall, the bride and groom who were initially accompanied naturally had many guests to attend to, excusing themselves with a brief apology before hurriedly parting.

Zhou Weimin, the second-generation leader of the Zhou family, personally led the group to the front row seats, exchanging pleasantries for a moment before taking leave.

Many high-profile guests attended the wedding banquet today, necessitating the presence of Zhou family members of equivalent status for reception, so Zhou Weimin naturally couldn\'t linger.

The wedding ceremony officially began at eight in the evening.

The stage was hosted by the domestic superstars Yang Qi and Qin Feifei.

Their witty banter and sentimental words heated up the atmosphere in the venue.

This was followed by an opening ballet performance by the royal ballet troupe from Mao Country.

Then, amid the applause of everyone present, the couple slowly made their entrance...

As the bride marrying into the Zhou family was naturally as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, she donned a snow-white gemstone wedding dress, also known as a flashing gown or platinum wedding dress.

This unique dress, created by Huy Vo, was adorned with a multitude of diamonds and gemstones, including 100 rubies and 222 diamonds, with a price tag over a million.

The ring on the bride\'s hand was personally custom-designed by Zhou Tianqi, dubbing "LEFFIE" from an inverted play on "Eiffel," crafted from platinum and rare diamonds.

Two inventively cut trapezoid diamonds surrounded the emerald-cut center stone, dazzling to the extreme.

277 diamonds of 7 different specifications were encrusted to form the unique Eiffel Tower shaped ring, brilliantly eye-catching.

The crown atop the bride\'s head was a treasure from the museum of Modu, fetching an astonishing auction price of seventy-three million.

Merely the bride\'s magnificent attire alone was valued at over a hundred million, indeed making this wedding akin to a fairy tale.

...

Amid the venue\'s warm blessings and applause, the couple on stage declared their vows, exchanged rings, and embraced passionately...

As the wedding banquet approached its end, four waiters jointly wheeled out a large cake, the 3.5-meter-tall main cake having taken a month to complete.

With the newlyweds stepping down from the stage, soft and pleasant music began to play, and the entire hall was gradually enveloped in a relaxed and joyous atmosphere.

Naturally, this was the moment for the upper-crust and various celebrities in the hall to socialize and expand their connections.

Family Head Zhou Weimin, who had been surrounded by many people until now, finally came over again. This forty-five to forty-six-year-old man, with an elegant and learned demeanor, said warmly:

"Miss Liu, the old Family Head is waiting in the back garden."

Upon hearing this, Liu Manli, who gently stood up, turned her gaze to Chu Mo and spoke softly:

"Mr. Chu, shall we go together?"

Chu Mo noncommittally stood up and followed alongside them.

From this moment on, the negotiation officially began.
