Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"You must be... Mr. Chu! I've heard many people say you are the big boss of this competition."

Nineteen years old, she was the most beautiful campus belle since the establishment of the University of Science and Technology, a girl named Zixue Han seemed to embody all the world's goodness, as if blessed by the gods. Just by standing there, she stirred infinite ripples in people's hearts.

Originally intending to leave, Chu Mo sat back down, nodding gently at the girl in front of him, and then spoke in an incomparably gentle voice:

"Zixue Han, I know you. You're the hot favorite to win this competition. Please, have a seat."

The girl from the ivory tower obviously didn't have such complex thoughts. Seeing Chu Mo's gentle demeanor, she breathed a small sigh of relief and then gently sat opposite him.

"I heard your song just now, it was really beautiful. You've studied music before, haven't you?"

Chu Mo was quite interested in this enchantingly beautiful girl. As the campus belle at the University of Science and Technology, Chu Mo believed every boy in the school secretly had a crush on her. And being able to sit with her was probably every boy's dream.

The girl with soul-stirring eyes seemed a bit nervous, her hands placed on her lap. Seeing that Chu Mo only appreciated her beauty and showed no other emotions, she gradually relaxed. After a moment, taking a deep breath, the girl spoke:

"You're different from other boys... When other boys see me, they only have two expressions. One is distracted, not even daring to look me in the eye. The other is a strong desire for possession, as if they could devour me. But you, you treat me like a family member, just as an ordinary girl."

Hearing this, Chu Mo's lips curved into a slight smile.

He understood the girl's words. With her perfect beauty, no one could resist her charms. Chu Mo remembered how Ding Qian used to wear a mask when going out to avoid causing a commotion, and Ding Qian was only a 99 in beauty, slightly less attractive compared to the girl in front of him.

If this girl walked down the street, she would definitely cause a major uproar.

Similarly, with her absolute charm, no boy could escape her attraction. Most boys either wouldn't dare to look her in the eye or would want to possess her strongly. This was completely normal.

Chu Mo could remain calm because he had gradually transitioned beyond the initial stage of caring about appearances. Surrounded by countless beauties, even his maids had a beauty score of 95. His endorsers, like Ruyu and Qiu Shui, all had beauty scores above 98. Living among such beauties daily, Chu Mo no longer valued appearances as much.

Looking at the enchanting girl in front of him calmly, Chu Mo raised his teacup to his lips, but found the tea had turned cold. Setting the cup back down, the manager, Xu Jing, who managed the 22 billion yuan Tianxiang Garden empire, immediately understood, and respectfully picked up the tea cup before leaving.

Sitting up straight, Chu Mo casually asked:

"Is there something you need?"

Talking business made the girl from the ancient city sit up straight. Her star-filled eyes looked directly at Chu Mo as she softly spoke:

"Well... I heard they say Mr. Chu can decide the winner of this competition, so... if it's possible..."

Seemingly inexperienced in seeking favors, the girl named Zixue Han looked slightly evasive, her hands intertwined, unable to express what she needed to say.

But Chu Mo already understood her intentions. She wanted to secure the championship in advance.

While Chu Mo was the primary sponsor and the real boss behind the competition, he didn't want to interfere with the process. Except for the final winner being Amy Belle, all other aspects were handled by Lu Siyue.

This competition was a game Chu Mo used to test Lu Siyue's abilities. If Chu Mo interfered, it would bring new troubles and variables for Lu Siyue, which was not what Chu Mo wanted to see.

He looked deeply at the girl in front of him and then earnestly said:

"I've heard you sing before. Your voice is penetrating and ethereal; the audience will definitely love it. As long as you perform normally, I believe you can achieve a good ranking."

Chu Mo was being honest. Zixue Han had both looks and talent. Although her fame might be slightly less than a few predetermined big stars, her talent was no less than theirs. If she performed steadily, she could make it into the top three. The rewards for the top three were already substantial; even the third-place prize of one million US dollars could change this girl from the old city's fate.

But even before he finished his words, the girl in front of him shook her head. Her previously evasive demeanor turned determined. Fixing her gaze on Chu Mo, she solemnly said:

"It's not enough. Though I was confident when I registered, after watching the other contestants, I realized it's really tough to get into the top three. Not to mention the British pop queen, even that beauty from the Maple Leaf Country, I can't compete with. There are several others with strong abilities as well, making my chances very slim."
