Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chu Mo, sitting at the head of the table, personally served the girl beside him some sweet and sour fish, then said with a warm face:

"Eat up, there's no one else here, feel free to eat to your heart's content."

The girl with bobbed hair picked up the white rice in front of her, she took a small bite at first, and after adding a bite of the dish, the savory taste of the food and the rumbling of her stomach made her no longer care about being reserved, as she gulped down her food.

Chu Mo had just had breakfast not long ago, and wasn't very hungry now, so he ate his rice casually; seeing the girl in front of him enjoying her meal made his own food taste much better.

"I've looked into the situation at the lab clearly, and since it's scientific research, failure is only natural. Even rockets fail to launch sometimes; it's not your fault."

The girl in front of him slowed down her eating pace, chewing her food while her bright eyes occasionally glanced in Chu Mo's direction.

"To be honest, I don't care about losing a few billion. Now that we've identified the reasons for the failure, starting over should be much easier than before, and with the new equipment from the U.S., the experiments should progress much faster. I haven't given up on this project; I will reinvest three billion in the lab's research, but I have one condition..."

As Chu Mo's words gently landed, the girl with the bobbed hair put down her chopsticks and bowl. She looked at the handsome young man in front of her, his eyes crinkling with a smile, and after contemplating the many days and nights in the lab, she said in a calm voice, her head slightly bowed:

"Mr. Chu, as long as you're willing to invest, I will agree to any condition you set."

Two months ago, right in this spot, the girl had refused without hesitation even before Chu Mo could state his condition.

Now, two months later, in the same restaurant, Chu Mo hadn't even spoken his condition, but she had already agreed to it in full.

Chu Mo looked at her delicate, flawless cheeks and her tall, graceful figure. This twenty-four-year-old woman had truly changed a lot.

Unperturbed, Chu Mo continued to enjoy his meal at an unhurried pace. After swallowing a mouthful of food, with a smile on his lips, he said:

"I plan to donate a library and a teaching building to Fudan University. Additionally, I intend to donate one billion to your College of Life Sciences to set up a research scholarship, and I need your help in managing it."

Li Tingting, who had been prepared to sacrifice herself to fund the entire research lab, widened her eyes in shock. Looking at those playful eyes behind the young man's golden glasses, and thinking about her firm refusal two months ago, the stunning girl's face flushed red instantly.

This was the second time she had misunderstood the young man before her.

And just then, the butler Danny reappeared.

Danny, approaching Chu Mo's side, said earnestly:

"Mr. Chu, the security at the community gate has sent a message. There is a visitor named Ding Qian at the gate asking to see you. Should I let her in?"

Chu Mo, with chopsticks and bowl in hand, let a slight smile curl his lips.

He hadn't expected Shi Yuan Entertainment's top trainee to capitulate so quickly.

Having returned from the yacht at sea two days ago, and with only yesterday in between, today she had taken the initiative to come to him, which meant that Ding Qian still needed some careful grooming.

Chu Mo remained calm, with serenity in his eyes, and said:

"Tell the property management I'm not in..."

As soon as the words left his mouth, his cell phone suddenly started ringing in his pocket. Chu Mo put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a napkin, then after picking up the cell phone, seeing that familiar yet unfamiliar number, he said with a wry smile:

"Ding Qian, that girl, isn't as foolish as I thought. She even knows how to call for reinforcements."
