Trillionaire's Slice of Life

This is also the reason why the expenses for this trip were so enormous.

"Chu Mo, the incident last time was because my foolish son didn't know better, disrupting your refined enjoyment. Although you were generous enough not to take it into account, the boy still needs to be taught a lesson. I told him to come over and apologize to you,"

Wu Sihai, the Wu family head, suddenly waved towards the opposite side of the stage. A moment later, a youth who appeared slightly thin but with an exceptionally composed demeanor quickly strode towards this direction.

The Wu family heir, named Wu Yaoming, approached Chu Mo with a glass full of red wine and respectfully said:

"Mr. Chu, I was ignorant before. I'm going to drink this."

As he finished speaking, he tilted his head back and guzzled the entire glass of red wine, under the earnest gaze of Wu Sihai, the family head. Danny, holding a tray, walked over, and Chu Mo picked up a glass of red wine. After sipping it lightly at his lips, he then nodded slightly.

Knowing that there was a past feud between Chu Mo and the Wu family, the mood among the powerful figures, which had been somewhat somber, relaxed when they saw Chu Mo nod. At this moment, Sun Shangwu suddenly laughed:

"Sihai, your young one is quite clever. Each bottle of this wine costs over a million, a glass of that would be two or three hundred thousand, and he just poured it down in one gulp? Do you let him drink like this at home? Haha."

With his goal achieved, Wu Sihai, who was in a good mood, waved at Wu Yaoming and then said cheerfully:

"Haha, it's only in front of brother Chu that he can drink freely. Normally, I wouldn't let him waste stuff like this."

The conflict with the Wu family was completely resolved in this glass of wine, and the hall became lively and relaxed once again.

Meanwhile, Wu Yaoming, who stood in front of a dozen powerful figures, bowed slightly. After taking two steps back, he then dared to turn and leave.

Only after the youth, one of the "Four Young Masters" of the Bund, exited the hall did he finally take a deep breath.

The atmosphere in the hall was too oppressive, at least for him, facing a dozen individuals worth tens to hundreds of billions, the immense, invisible pressure emanating from these people made Wu Yaoming feel uncomfortable.

He had just downed a large glass of wine in one breath, but his body didn't feel the least bit of warmth, instead, a chill kept creeping up to his forehead.

Wu Yaoming quickened his pace with a hint of fear, wishing to get as far away from these people in the hall as possible. Just hearing their laughter made him feel like his hair was standing on end.

Of course, not everyone wanted to distance themselves from this circle; for many people, it represented opportunities as well.

Chu Mo, holding a wine glass, whispered a command to Danny behind him. After a moment, the butler's figure disappeared from sight.

Before long, the chairwoman of Shi Yuan Entertainment, Qin Zixuan, accompanied by a dreamlike girl, arrived in the hall under the guidance of the butler.

Chu Mo waved at Qin Zixuan and then introduced her to Ren Wenxuan, who was seated two seats away from him.

"President Ren, Shi Yuan and Shangyuan Entertainment have been collaborating for quite some time now. Let me introduce you, this is Qin Zixuan, the chairwoman of Shi Yuan."

"Zi Xuan, this is President Ren of Shangyuan Entertainment."

"President Ren, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

Qin Zixuan, dressed in a black evening gown, gracefully stepped forward, and Ren Wenxuan, the director of Shangyuan Entertainment, stood up. The two exchanged smiles and clinked glasses. After the other had taken a seat, Chu Mo spoke again:

"President Ren, I truly have to entrust Shi Yuan Entertainment to your care."

"It's no trouble at all. Working with you, Chu Mo, is very comfortable for us. It's a win-win," the topmost mogul of the entertainment industry, Ren Wenxuan, said with a smile.

Chu Mo raised his glass in earnest, then signaled to Ding Qian who was standing in front of him. When she approached on her own initiative, Chu Mo said with a smile:

"President Ren, this is our treasure at Shi Yuan, Ding Qian. She's a new talent that we'll be focusing on in our next phase. Our weakness has always been a lack of connections; we haven't had any good works to offer her. Aside from a short film, she doesn't have any notable works yet. You will have to take good care of her."

Ren Wenxuan, who immediately understood, made no excuses. As someone with a net worth of hundreds of billions and the stature of an emperor in the entertainment industry, he had the power to determine the future of an entertainer with a single word.

Ren Wenxuan glanced at Ding Qian a few times, then nodded and said:

"Chu Mo, you have a good eye. Such talent appears but once in a decade in the entertainment industry. How about this, I will have Ding Minhao, one of the top directors, take the lead to find the best screenwriter and tailor-make a production for Miss Ding. Once it's ready, we will use all of Shangyuan's promotional resources to ensure that Miss Ding steps into the realm of superstars."

Ding Minhao was one of the top directors in Hua Country, with his movies accumulating over ten billion in box office, making him the country's second director to reach that milestone.

Even the most famous actors behaved submissively in the presence of such a prominent director, and it was unheard of for such an elite director to tailor-make something for an obscure actor in the entertainment industry.

But once Ren Wenxuan, Shangyuan Entertainment's director, nodded his head, it was as good as done.

This time without needing further encouragement from Chu Mo, Ding Qian, with a glint of joy in her eyes, took the initiative to step forward and raised her glass,

"Director Ren, I'd like to propose a toast to you."

This time Ren Wenxuan did not stand up. If Qin Zixuan, who managed the six-hundred-billion market value Shi Yuan Entertainment, could receive his attention, then Ding Qian, appearing like nothing more than an unknown, despite her stunning beauty, was not worth Ren Wenxuan's effort to rise.
