Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chu Mo took the pastry from the other's hand, then picked up a small dessert fork to cut himself a piece and tasted it, immediately a wonderfully sweet flavor surged forth.

He glanced at Ding Qian beside him, seeing she was still massaging her own legs. After cutting another piece of pastry, he softly said,

"You've worked hard, have a taste too."

Chu Mo extended the dessert fork, which he had used to cut the cake, to the woman beside him. The woman named Ding Qian, whose stunning beauty could overturn nations, immediately stopped what she was doing, and a dreamy blush spread over her cheeks like overripe apples.

There was only one dessert fork on the small plate, clearly used by Chu Mo just moments ago. If Ding Qian used it now, the implications would be quite intriguing.

Chu Mo didn't retract his hand, nor did he give up, just quietly holding out his hand waiting, no sign of impatience in his gaze.

He was waiting for an answer from the girl in front of him.

To think he had expended so much effort to make her famous, she couldn't possibly believe he was a good person who liked unselfish contributions.

The noise from the sea had ceased, the butler had conveyed the message to return, and the whole yacht began to slowly turn a huge bend, then headed back in the direction they came from.

Half a minute later, as the cruise ship let out a huge hoot, the hundred-and-ten-meter behemoth started to return at full speed, the patience in Chu Mo's eyes gradually fading away, he casually lowered his upraised right hand while murmuring to Qiu Shui beside him,

"The pastry is nice, but unfortunately, not everyone has the chance to taste such delicious food. I heard you plan to leave Tianxiang Garden before turning twenty-eight? What are your plans after that? Do you want to shine in the entertainment circle one more time? With your qualifications, it wouldn't be difficult to become popular."

Chu Mo set the pastry on the small dining table in front of him, his gaze no longer even glancing at Ding Qian on the side.

Joined Shi Yuan Entertainment as a trainee in June, graduated from the college of arts in July, became the leading actress in a short film with an investment of fifty million in mid-July, and a full internet promotion in August.

In just two or three months, she had already become famous all over the internet, Chu Mo wondered, whether the career of the girl named Ding Qian in front of him was a bit too smooth.

Had all this success come too easily, making her forget her true identity?

Did she really think it was simply because of her natural beauty, that everyone in Shi Yuan Entertainment saw her with a different eye?

Doesn't she know even the Chairman Qin Zixuan treated her kindly for a very real reason?

The woman named Qiu Shui's eyes lit up, but after a moment, she slightly shook her head and said, Read new chapters at empire

"Mr. Chu, if you had said this to me two years ago, I would have been overjoyed, so excited I couldn't sleep, but now I'm already twenty-seven, and a woman's most precious age is before thirty. I want to use the remaining two years to pursue my own happiness."

Chu Mo nodded, not pressing the matter. After all, the woman named Qiu Shui in front of him had her own complete plan. She had decided to leave Tianxiang Garden on her twenty-eighth birthday, and this would not change just because of Chu Mo's arrival.

In that case, it seemed he needed to find a new pillar for Shi Yuan Entertainment.

Even with a dreamy face, what use is a woman who doesn't listen? After you make her famous, should you really be making wedding dresses for others?

Chu Mo stood up, his initially pleasant mood somewhat spoiled by this little interlude.

While it wasn't enough to ruin his mood completely, being rejected by someone he had personally made famous indeed left him feeling somewhat stifled.

He was about to stand and leave when suddenly a weak voice came from behind,

"Mr. Chu... I, I just feel unwell, I don't want to eat anything sweet."

That was clearly an excuse.

Wanting to take the best resources from Shi Yuan Entertainment without wanting to give anything in return, where in the world could one find such a beautiful thing?

When Ding Qian's voice came from behind, Zhan Bingxue from Bafang International and Qin Zixuan from Shi Yuan Entertainment had joined forces and arrived.

They hadn't been able to find time alone with Chu Mo before, and now that they finally had the chance, they naturally wanted to come over to the top deck and foster a closer relationship with the big boss behind the scenes.

But as soon as the two women, both now worth over fifty billion, arrived on the top deck, they immediately sensed a faint air of tension. The two, who had been laughing and talking, instantly sobered up, their expressions turning serious.

The woman with the dreamy visage behind him had already backed down, but Chu Mo had made his decision in his heart.

He took a step forward and strode away, instructing Qin Zixuan who was following close behind:

"Ding Xiaoni has been gaining momentum lately, and for this cooperation with Director Ding Minhao from Shangyuan Entertainment, let her take the lead role."

With those words, Chu Mo switched out the future star his company was fully backing, and Qin Zixuan behind him didn't have any objections. She nodded respectfully, then added seriously:

"I will arrange it as soon as we get back. Ding Xiaoni indeed has a lot of potential. In three months' time, she progressed from first-tier to super first-tier. She's very stable mentally. Also, Ding Xiaoni has been wanting to express her gratitude to you but I was afraid of disturbing your peace, so I've been stopping her."

Chu Mo nodded as he descended the staircase slowly, his voice drifting softly:

"Moreover, pick a talented newcomer from a hundred trainees for full support. Don't just look at appearance, sometimes acting skills are more important than looks..."

The man's faint words gradually faded away, leaving only Ding Qian on the set, who stood staring blankly, and Qiu Shui, who had a playful look on her face.

The twenty-seven-year-old mature woman delicately picked up a piece of cake from the square table that had only been bitten once, sliced off a piece with the tiny fork, and tasted it gently. Then she purposefully placed the tiny fork in front of her and said in a suggestive tone:

"Look, I also ate with this fork. Have I lost a piece of flesh from my body? No, I haven't lost anything."

Then, she cut another piece of cake with the fork and placed it in front of the stunning woman across from her, who only looked down.

"Heh~"

With a mocking chuckle in her eyes full of playfulness, Qiu Shui tossed the cake onto the square table. As she turned to leave, she said indifferently:

"For the rest of your life, you will regret the choice you made today."

The cold words were left behind, and Qiu Shui, her eyes regaining a gleam, hastened her pace down the stairs, only to quickly notice the young figure turning toward a guest room.

Bingxue and Qin Zixuan, the two beautiful chairwomen, were waiting quietly at the door.

Biting her lip, the stunning woman with the dreamy visage stepped forward. Her graceful figure arrived in front of the guest room door, and under the steady gaze of the two beautiful chairwomen, she gently turned the doorknob.

The knob turned, and the door was opened a crack.

Nodding gently to the two chairwomen worth billions in front of her, Qiu Shui elegantly walked into the room.

She closed and locked the door behind her, the sound of the shower running in the bathroom confirming her guess.

In Tianxiang Garden, nine maids served, with Xiao Ling following the richest man, Zhang Dahua; Liang Bing became the new manager of Tianxiang Garden; Ru Yu also entered a wealthy household, while she was still marking time.

Although she said she was about to leave and didn't care about these things, as the oldest maid in Tianxiang Garden, watching one companion after another soar to great heights while she remained stuck in the same place, how could Qiu Shui genuinely be content?

Her gaze fixed on the bathroom, where the sound of running water continued, she had made up her mind.

The girl named Ding Qian didn't know how to cherish the opportunity and let go of an incredible chance, which now gave her, Qiu Shui, an opportunity.

Qiu Shui could clearly sense the young man's dissatisfaction. At this moment, he must be feeling aggrieved. If she could please him now, she wouldn't have to worry about the future.

At least, her future would be on par with those two chairwomen worth over a hundred billion at the door.

Thinking of her bright future, the color in her eyes grew brighter. She gently shed her thin clothes. Her beauty was only slightly less than Ding Qian's, but with mature allure and a devilish figure, Qiu Shui was incomparable as she took a step forward.

The image of the young man's chiseled cheeks and tall, robust figure flashed in her mind. With heavy breaths, Qiu Shui's eyes, like water, ambled towards the bathroom.

...

The twenty-billion-dollar luxury yacht returned to port as the sunset gradually fell and night descended.

When the morning glow rose again, a new day would surely come.
