Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"President Chu, my son Zhang Dongdong has been busy lately recruiting people to join your Longevity Club. I can't even see him myself," his father said. "He's usually quite the free spirit, so I'm counting on you to keep a close eye on him, President Chu!"

As the wealthiest man in Hua Country, Zhang Dahua once again topped the latest rich list with a fortune of 317.5 billion, while the total market value of his Wanlin Group simultaneously surged past 4.7 trillion.

Without a doubt, as the country's richest man, Zhang Dahua was one of the most famous people in the entire hall. In the hearts of the ordinary citizens of Hua Country, he was the epitome of wealth and a role model for all young people.

Even Yang Tianxia, who was the head of one of the eight great families, was far less renowned than Zhang Dahua.

Zhang Dahua had only one son, Zhang Dongdong, and the original concept of building the Longevity Club came from this tycoon's son.

Zhang Dongdong was one of the three giants of the Longevity Club, ranking only behind Yang Xuan and Liang Bing. As the son of the richest man, he had a rather unique task. First, he was the advocate and builder of the entire Longevity Club, the only one who knew all the operating trajectories of the club. Moreover, most of the club's various regulations were proposed and established by him alone.

Secondly, as the son of the richest man, Zhang Dongdong also had an immense reputation within Hua Country. His face served as his business card, and there was hardly anyone in the entire country who did not recognize this high-profile second-generation rich kid.

It was because of his enormous influence in Hua Country that Zhang Dongdong also took charge of the club's networking management. Almost all of the top tycoons in the country were wooed and maintained by him.

Although the Longevity Club had not yet achieved any substantial results, it had already caused a sensation across Hua Country, thanks to Zhang Dongdong's publicity, the club's initial investment of hundreds of billions, and the involvement of dozens of Nobel Prize-winning top experts.

It was safe to say that within the circle of top tycoons in Hua Country, there was nobody who did not know about the Longevity Club.

However, because the Longevity Club had just been established and had not yet produced any tangible results, most of the tycoons were still in the observation phase and had not joined in significant numbers.

But it was foreseeable that once the top scientists of the Longevity Club made breakthroughs, the club would experience explosive growth. At that time, Zhang Dongdong's status as one of the three giants would skyrocket, propelling him to great heights.

Even then, Zhang Dongdong, who would control the network of the world's top tycoons, might leapfrog to massive global influence. At that time, when people mentioned Zhang Dongdong, they would no longer think of him simply as the son of the richest man but as the General Manager of the Longevity Club.

As Hua Country's richest man, Zhang Dahua naturally had boundless ambition and a broad vision. He could see the Longevity Club's enormous potential for growth, which is why he allowed Zhang Dongdong free rein over his activities and would even help him with some things within his capability.

Zhang Dahua may have been the richest, but he was now facing his son's immediate superior.

If it weren't for his relationship with Zhang Dongdong, Zhang Dahua could afford to be haughty in front of Chu Mo, even turning up his nose. But now, since his son was working under Chu Mo on a very promising and distinguished project that could potentially elevate his son's status even above his own, he might need to rely on his son's connections in the future.

That's why Zhang Dahua's demeanor was extremely modest at the moment, and he exuded a warm aura.

In the banquet hall, at the western corner, although there were only about a dozen people, they attracted the gazes of hundreds in the hall.

Among the group, beside President Chu, only Fang Nianhan and Situ Lichun—the two extraordinarily beautiful women—were under thirty years old. Among all the men, those under thirty were only Chu Mo and a few attendants!

And the only young man standing in the center of the crowd, chatting and laughing with ease, was Chu Mo.

In response to the words of the richest man Zhang Dahua, Chu Mo put away the cold indifference he had shown to Yang Tianxia and reassumed a genteel demeanor. Lifting his glass slightly toward the other, Chu Mo smiled and said,

"President Zhang, you're too hard on Dongdong. Recently, he's been busy negotiating with America to purchase a batch of high-tech experimental equipment. It might be because he's doing something he loves, but I've noticed a big change in Dongdong over the past six months. At least, it's been a while since I've seen him in the news headlines. But it's important to balance work with relaxation.

Once he's done with this busy period, I'll give Dongdong a few days off to rest properly."

Chu Mo had a good impression of the Zhang family father and son. Although there had been a slight rift with Zhang Dahua during the initial acquisition of Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel, it was settled without incident.

In addition, Zhang Dahua had indeed helped the Longevity Club generously in recent times, and Chu Mo, who was not one to repay kindness with ingratitude, naturally kept the other's goodwill in mind.

While Chu Mo and Zhang Dahua were engaged in a pleasant conversation, Cao Renyi, the chairman of Xingyue Technology, suddenly stepped forward, raising his glass of red wine to Chu Mo while smiling and saying,
