Trillionaire's Slice of Life

If the entire Magic City gives off a sense of luxury and Shenzhen exudes avant-garde vibes, then in Capital City, what you can definitely feel is grandeur.

As the birthplace of Hua Country's dragon prosperity, Trade Center CBD is the most bustling and magnificent place in Capital City, gathering the most Fortune 500 companies in the whole Hua Country and offering the richest salaries.

And the top-tier private jewelry exhibition on the fifty-sixth floor of the Trade Center is synonymous with high-end grandeur.

This exhibition invited fifteen billionaires to participate, and the entire showroom is divided into four tiers, from entry-level jewelry to top-of-the-world treasures, the caliber of which is quite impressive.

The young man named Lu Yuan, who could sport a Rolex worth hundreds of thousands and drive luxury cars worth millions, naturally came from a family worth over a hundred million. His father was one of the fifteen invited billionaires, and as a family member, he could bring up to five companions to the event.

Lu Yuan's father, Lu Zhenhao, was a man in his mid-forties, embodying all the common traits of successful men his age: cultivated, mature, respectful, yet hearty.

When he learned that Chu Mo and his friends were his son Lu Yuan's classmates from Shui Mu University, Lu Zhenhao showed an apt enthusiasm, especially when he saw that the two female classmates his son brought along both possessed extremely outstanding appearances, and Chu Mo's personally tailored clothing, as well as the faint aura he exuded, were equally remarkable; this made him even more warm and cordial.

Amid Lu Zhenhao's hearty laughter, the group followed him and smoothly entered the exhibition hall.

The moment they stepped onto the fifty-sixth-floor showroom, they were instantly enveloped in a luxurious and elegant atmosphere. The huge crystal chandelier overhead, imported from Italy, gave off a gentle and bright light that wasn't blinding but illuminated the entire hall.

The entire showroom was divided into four areas, each approximately a hundred square meters or so, showcasing entry-level jewelry worth tens of thousands at the very start and increasingly lavish and opulent pieces as one proceeded further inside.

"This is a small-scale private jewelry exhibition, and every piece on display is worthy of careful collection. There are no sales guides here, so let me act as a temporary guide!" said Lu Zhenhao, of medium height and with a fair complexion, casually pointing at the gems on the showcase in front of him.

His gaze was ever so slightly focused on Chu Mo, and because they were in a public setting, he spoke in a slightly lowered voice:

"This 'Pas de Deux' series of jewelry has been designed by Raybey, the chief designer at Boodles. If you look closely, you can see that the designer has captured the shadows under the spotlight and understood the emotional connection between dancers through their physical expressions. The designer hopes to portray these extended bodies and the tension of the muscles with jewelry!

The price for this piece of jewelry is 550,000 RMB, which is considered entry-level."

Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, a lady in her thirties or forties at a nearby display suddenly signaled in their direction. Lu Zhenhao nodded to the group and then laughed:

"You young people have fun; I'll go say hello to some old friends."

As he spoke, he especially instructed his son Lu Yuan, his voice carrying a rare seriousness:

"Lu Yuan, take good care of your classmates."

After the middle-aged man had left, Qian Xinyi, with a touch of admiration in her eyes, whispered:

"Uncle Lu really is knowledgeable; it seems like he knows everything."

Lu Yuan, wearing a Rolex Submariner "Hulk", breathed a sigh of relief. He had been a bit restrained in front of his dad, but now that his dad had left, he regained his confidence.

Chu Mo's gaze swept over the first-floor hall, and as the middle-aged man said, the first floor displayed jewelry ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands. While these pieces were attractive to the average person, they were completely beneath Chu Mo's notice.

His eyes then turned to the second-floor gallery in front of him, and with a smile, he said:

"Shall we go inside for a look?"

The two girls naturally had no objections, and although Lu Yuan rolled his eyes, he didn't oppose.

The four of them walked along the corridor into the second-floor hall, where there were noticeably fewer pieces of jewelry than on the first floor, but each display case appeared even more exquisite and grand.

The girl named Qian Xinyi immediately had her gaze drawn to a gorgeous diamond necklace. Her face filled with excitement, she pulled Ruyu to the exhibition stand to take a closer look, followed closely by the rich second generation, Lu Yuan.

Chu Mo only glanced at the diamond necklace, about the size of a fingernail, before instantly losing interest.

His gaze wandered casually around the entire second floor and spotted an interesting display.

The people in the exhibition hall were clearly divided into two different levels. One kind, like the young girls such as Qian Xinyi, had eyes full of curiosity and an image of an inquisitive baby. Obviously, most of these people were ordinary visitors invited to attend and had never seen such a top-tier event.

The other kind were the real billionaires, like the just-mentioned Lu Zhenhao, those top socialites and wealthy ladies, business magnates, who were used to seeing such jewelry and thus had a calm gaze and a dignified and elegant demeanor.

Chu Mo glanced around and noticed that most of the people here, full of novelty, were ordinary people, while the top billionaires were in the minority.

There were also quite a few people with smartphones, snapping away at the jewelry haphazardly, and some even recording videos.

Seeing that there was no jewelry on the second floor that caught his eye, Chu Mo looked at the two girls still crowding around the diamond necklace kiosk. Shaking his head slightly, he didn't disturb their refined viewing and instead walked alone towards the third-floor exhibition hall.

If the first and second floor exhibition halls were the top choice for ordinary billionaires, then the third floor clearly exceeded the financial limits of these individuals. The entire third floor only had five items on display, far fewer than the first two floors.

However, without exception, each piece on this floor was a treasure worth tens of millions.

Chu Mo's gaze was quickly captured by a diamond ring. This ring featured a 4.01-carat diamond with a cushion-shaped red diamond in the center, flanked by a smaller pink diamond on each side, making it quite beautiful.

Unlike the first two floors, each of the five items on the third floor had a brief introduction and a price tag beneath them. Chu Mo's gaze swept over the red diamond ring.

Thirteen million.

Suddenly, he remembered the blue diamond ring he had previously given to Ruyu, the one he had bid on at an auction in Magic City after competing with the eldest son of the Wu family, worth a total of eighty million RMB, approximately six times the value of the red diamond ring in front of him.

He had just observed that Ruyu indeed wore the blue diamond ring on her delicate white finger.

A faint smile formed on the corners of Chu Mo's mouth. His gaze withdrew from the red diamond worth millions, and he was about to leave the display when a beautiful lady approached him.

The lady beside him had tea-colored curly hair, wore a light grey sheath dress with a black cropped blazer over it, and carried a casual small leather bag. She appeared to be in her late twenties, exuding a dignified attractiveness that hinted at the allure of a mature woman.

Her gaze remained on the red diamond ring before her, her eyes revealing a hint of admiration and affection.

Chu Mo, who had been about to leave, gently retracted his step, his eyes discreetly observing the elegant woman beside him. Her inherently noble aura that ordinary girls couldn't mimic, as well as her top-tier bespoke attire, all pointed to her being a true elite socialite.

Comparing her to the other young girls around, who were lively and brimming with excitement, Chu Mo found her grace and nobility even more precious.

The woman silently admired the top-grade gemstones while Chu Mo was quietly admiring the elegance she embodied.

After a moment, seemingly sensing Chu Mo's gaze, the woman in the bespoke clothing turned slightly. After a casual glance at Chu Mo, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her voice indifferent:

"It seems just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in now."

Chu Mo withdrew his gaze, unfazed by her words since he had been the one staring at her, which was impolite to begin with, so the remark was well deserved.

He turned lightly, intending to move to the next exhibition hall, but then heard the woman behind him say softly:

"You're quite a looker, young man. Want to skip some detours? I could help you save ten years of struggle."
