Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Gazing through the car window at the passing scenery, Dong Xun'er's expression was slightly dreamy.

One of the key features of this city's classical gardens was not only that it was a product of historical and cultural heritage but also a carrier of Hua Country's traditional ideological culture. This was evident in the naming of the garden halls, plaques, couplets, stone tablets, carvings, decorations, as well as the symbolic meaning of plants and the emotional investment in rockeries.

These were not just embellishments to the gardens' exquisite artistry but also repositories of a wealth of historical, cultural, ideological, and scientific information—their material and spiritual content were both profoundly extensive.

At 6:10 PM, six luxury vehicles pulled up on time at Huiyuan Bar in the center of Suzhou City, which was just two blocks, a few hundred meters away, from Moon Lake Tower.

It was still early, and there weren't many customers in the bar. When Dong Xun'er, dressed in a dazzling array of jewels, stepped out from the stretched Lincoln, the bar's waitstaff hurriedly approached with an expression of careful attention.

Even without the complement of the six luxury cars parked behind her, the value of just the ruby diamond ring on Dong Xun'er's finger was at least 10 million RMB. And the long string of jewelry around her delicate neck was even more expensive—worth 38 million RMB. As for the rest of the silk and satin on her, Dong Xun'er's attire was worth over a hundred million in total.

For this trip, she had donned almost all the jewelry she could from her household. Although it might have seemed somewhat vulgar, the effect was absolutely immediate.

Not to mention the doorman in front of her, who, upon seeing Dong Xun'er's ensemble, became even more obsequious.

Two assistants, plus four personal bodyguards, two men, and two women, followed closely by her side. As for the other bodyguards, they sat in the outer booths at a distance, but their gazes were razor-sharp. Should there be any disturbance around Dong Xun'er, they would be on their feet to protect her in an instant.

The most central booth in the bar required a minimum spend of 88,800 RMB—enough for an ordinary person to toil for a whole year.

Dong Xun'er occupied that booth directly. Since it was still early, the atmosphere in the bar was not very lively. Apart from a few sparsely seated guests, the entire hall was quiet.

Naturally, as a top tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of billions, Dong Xun'er had long abstained from places like this. Before she became wealthy, she would occasionally visit bars with a few friends to relax.

However, since taking over the top three skyscrapers in the city, she had moved in the highest circles, interacting with business magnates and high society ladies, and had become increasingly distant from bars and clubs.

Dong Xun'er ordered the legendary Dragon Set, a total of six bottles of wine for 88,888 RMB. However, the bar didn't have the Black Ace Gold Edition (of which only 2,333 bottles exist globally), so they offered a five-bottle set of the Dragon Set, minus the Black Gold Edition, priced at 78,888 RMB.

This was the drink that Dong Xun'er had envied in the past when, without money, she could only watch others enjoy it. Now, as five bottles of top-tier wine valued at 78,000 RMB were placed in front of her, she no longer had any interest in tasting them.

As a tycoon worth hundreds of billions, Dong Xun'er rarely drank alcohol. However, even at various social events, the wine she consumed never cost less than 100,000 RMB per bottle.

The most expensive Dragon Set in the bar, priced at over 10,000 RMB per bottle, didn't interest her. Her current order was motivated partly by the booth's minimum spend requirement of 88,800 RMB, and partly as a fulfillment of her past dreams.

"President Dong, the target has appeared."

As her personal secretary whispered into her ear, Dong Xun'er immediately gathered her senses and her gaze swiftly fixed on the target.

Su Mengqi, General Manager of Moon Lake Tower and also the Zhao family's public daughter.

The time had reached 7:00 PM, and the bar gradually filled with more customers. Under the flickering lights, Sun Mengqi, dressed coolly, walked into the bar with several men and women. It was clear they were headed for the biggest booth in the reserved area, but the staff immediately greeted them with smiles, discreetly gesturing towards Dong Xun'er's bodyguards.

With dozens of bodyguards by her side and six luxury cars parked at the entrance, even if Sun Mengqi had the backing of the Zhao family and was a big shot in Suzhou City, she wouldn't want to provoke trouble unnecessarily.

The group of men and women on the other side gave Dong Xun'er a cursory glance before they settled in a nearby booth.

With her target having arrived, Dong Xun'er naturally perked up. She first casually observed the cousin from the Zhao family for a moment. The woman, named Sun Mengqi, was twenty-nine years old this year, but with her trendy dress and delicate makeup, she appeared as young as a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old girl.

There were four or five men and women sitting beside her, with a young man about thirty-four or thirty-five years old at the helm. Even when Sun Mengqi interacted with this young man, she seemed to have a slight ingratiating look on her face.

Dong Xun'er slightly furrowed her brows from the center of the booth and then turned to her personal secretary to inquire,

"Who is that man? Do you recognize him?"

The personal secretary, who had to possess strong business capabilities to keep up with Dong Xun'er's thoughts, narrowed her eyes behind her glasses. After carefully observing the impressive young man for a few moments, she shook her head slightly and said,

"President Dong, he doesn't seem to be from the Zhao family. We have thoroughly checked all the direct information on the Zhao family, and this man isn't included."

As the efficient woman's words ended, Dong Xun'er nodded slightly and then softly said,

"Proceed as planned. Go ahead with it."

After Dong Xun'er gave her instructions, her close secretary immediately agreed with a nod. The secretary approached the server and whispered a few words. Within minutes, led by a middle-aged man, a row of six or seven flamboyantly dressed, flirting companionship girls lined up and walked over.

"Dear guest, I'm the manager of this establishment. The ladies beside me are the best atmosphere team members of our bar. You can make any requests directly to me."

Dong Xun'er's gaze swept over the six young and beautiful hostesses standing carefully in line behind the middle-aged manager. Even as a woman, Dong Xun'er couldn't help but have her eyes dazzle slightly at the sight of the woman at the front.

The Huiyuan Bar was the largest and most luxurious in all of Suzhou City, located right at the heart of the city center, mere hundreds of meters from Moon Lake Tower. The woman standing in front of Dong Xun'er was undoubtedly the most beautiful hostess in the entire Huiyuan Bar, so naturally, her appearance was outstanding.

The leading hostess wore a blazing red dress and delicate yet elegant makeup. In Dong Xun'er's estimation, this bar hostess possessed a beauty that could compete with those of the Tianxiang Garden, quite wasted on a place like a bar.

As for the other women, although not as breathtaking as the woman in red, they were all quite attractive themselves.

Dong Xun'er looked over the group and nodded in satisfaction. She then gestured to her secretary, who immediately pulled out a stack of red RMB notes, at least ten or twenty hundred-yuan notes, which made the middle-aged manager of the bar beam with delight as he bowed obsequiously and excused himself.

As Dong Xun'er gestured with a wave of her hand, the six attractive hostesses glanced at each other and then took their seats in the booth. The way they looked at Dong Xun'er was with a sense of curiosity.

Clearly, even though these six hostesses had come across all sorts of clients, it was quite rare for a woman like Dong Xun'er to request the company of so many people at once.

Naturally, Dong Xun'er wasn't concerned about what the hostesses thought; she simply picked up the red wine before her and tasted it, appearing completely at ease.

A few moments later, amid the whispering hostesses, Dong Xun'er's gaze suddenly shifted towards the other side. There, Sun Mengqi, the cousin from the Zhao family, finally stood up and started walking towards Dong Xun'er.
