Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 423: Chapter 316: Sudden Enlightenment

Zhao Wenjia, the second young master of the Zhao family from Zhongzhou City, had a noteworthy position in the shoemaking industry. Their shoe factory was quite renowned in Zhongzhou City, covering an area of seven hundred acres, with twenty-eight workshops and thirty-seven thousand employees.

In Zhongzhou City, the Zhao family was a well-known entrepreneurial clan, and the second son, Zhao Wenjia, was similarly a widely known playboy throughout Zhongzhou City.

The Zhao family’s assets amounted to three and a half billion, and Zhao Wenjia could be said to have grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth. In Zhongzhou City, he was the center of attention from a young age, but upon arriving in the international metropolis of Dadu, his horizons had broadened. He had gradually come to realize that although the Zhao family held some status in Zhongzhou City, in Dadu, or even looking at the whole country, their sizeable assets were actually not that impressive.

Setting his sights on Zhou Yuanyuan wasn’t because he really liked her that much. Zhao Wenjia had a handsome face that could make most women envious, and the number of girls he had dated was at least enough to count on both hands.

He was rich and good-looking, and most girls would throw themselves at him with just a beckoning gesture. Originally, a difficult girl like Zhou Yuanyuan was not within his target range for pursuit.

However, since he learned by chance that the iceberg beauty Zhou Yuanyuan’s family possessed tens of billions in assets, his ambition swelled, and he made her his primary target.

Zhao Wenjia had dated quite a few girls and had gradually worked out his own set of rules for wooing women. He knew that for girls like Zhou Yuanyuan, it was pure folly to think he could pursue her with ordinary methods.

The most lethal weapon against women—money—was utterly useless with her, and even his handsome appearance was incapable of moving her.

So, Zhao Wenjia’s strategy was to progress step by step, without being forceful or pestering, while occasionally creating opportunities to appear in front of her, letting things take their natural course.

Unlike the suitors who insisted on sending flowers every day or confessing their love daily, his unconventional method instead prevented Zhou Yuanyuan from developing any dislike for him. Among the multitude of suitors, he was the only one who could occasionally chat with Zhou Yuanyuan.

Zhao Wenjia’s objective was clear, he wanted to win over Zhou Yuanyuan and then use the Zhou family’s connections and resources to expand his own family’s reach beyond little Zhongzhou City.

He didn’t harbor deep feelings for Zhou Yuanyuan, so naturally, in front of her, he wasn’t as submissive as ordinary men.

In Zhao Wenjia’s view, it would be great if he could win over Zhou Yuanyuan, but it was no big deal if he couldn’t. After all, he would just inherit the family business after graduation and continue living as the carefree scion in Zhongzhou City.

So, when Zhou Yuanyuan coldly ordered him to leave, Zhao Wenjia wasn’t as meek as a typical young man might be!

Although his family wasn’t as wealthy as the Zhous, they were still one of the top businesses in Zhongzhou City. In his circle, people had always revered him since childhood, and even in Dadu, his handsome looks and generous spending secured him the title of campus heartthrob at the University of Science and Technology, with younger female students lining up to pursue him!

He was indeed interested in pursuing Zhou Yuanyuan, but Zhao Wenjia absolutely refused to grovel before a woman like a lovesick puppy!

So, when Zhou Yuanyuan stood at the door with an expressionless face, turning utterly cold and merciless, Zhao Wenjia didn’t show a trace of awkwardness. On the contrary, he suddenly curled his lips slightly, a hint of cold indifference and mockery flashing in his eyes. He turned his head away, not sparing another glance at the iceberg beauty.

Zhao Wenjia’s indifference only made Zhou Yuanyuan at the door more detached. Her dazzling eyes fixed on him, as though sharp blades were passing through the depths of her gaze.

“Bro, this cigar is good stuff, top-grade Cuban merchandise. My dad loves these, each one’s worth tens of thousands, right? Want to try one?”

The young man named Zhao Wenjia, after ignoring the iceberg beauty’s stare, lightly sniffed and then turned his attention to the tea table in front of him, speaking softly.

On the tea table’s ashtray lay the barely touched cigars that Chu Mo and Sun Shangwu had just smoked. Chu Mo had only taken two puffs before snuffing it out, and Sun Shangwu, considering the presence of girls in the room, had only taken one more puff than Chu Mo. Most of the cigar was still in the ashtray, making the brand easy to identify.

Sun Shangwu remained motionless. As someone with a net worth exceeding three hundred billion and a ranking on the Forbes list, a person of his stature was nearly untouchable for ordinary folks, deemed worthy of him passing a cigar only to a select few in Dadu—no more than a handful, and these individuals were all tycoons worth hundreds of billions, like heads of the four major families.

The handsome young man before him clearly hadn’t reached the level of warranting him to offer a cigar.

Chu Mo glanced at the Young Miss Zhou at the door looking disheartened. He suddenly felt that the young man in front of him had quite a personality. Originally, he thought that Zhao Wenjia was just one of Zhou YuanYuan’s many admirers. However, seeing the scene unfold, he realized that Zhao Wenjia clearly had little interest in Zhou Yuanyuan.

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth as Chu Mo said lightly,

“Zhao Wenjia, right? Impressive courage, young man!”

As his words fell, he spoke to Zhou Yuanyuan, who was still standing by the door of the private room,

“It’s alright!”

Zhou Yuanyuan at the door took a deep breath. Her chest rose and fell slightly, and after a moment, she calmed her mind, turned around to close the door, then returned to Tao Yun’s side.

Sun Shangwu didn’t take the handsome young man before him seriously at all. His gaze carelessly swept over the other and then returned to Chu Mo. He then said with a serious tone,

“Mr. Chu, I wonder if you’ve noticed that when the king of Sartor travels, he books entire archipelagos and has even built a private palace with gold. It is said that inside the palace, something as ordinary as a tissue box is made of gold, and even the furniture is all crafted from gold.

I mention this to tell you, Mr. Chu, that King Sairiman may not be as short on money as you and I imagine. Even if you invest tens or hundreds of billions, it won’t change much for the entire Shate Kingdom, so I think, Mr. Chu, you can make demands, but you shouldn’t go too far!

Furthermore, regarding the reception of the King, Mr. Chu, you might want to put in more effort.

Instead of going to great lengths to haggle with the other party, it would be better to focus on hospitality. Personally, I think if you can make this luxury-loving King happy, a casual word from him could be more useful than all the haggling you do.”

Chu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he nodded gently.

In a sense, Sairiman and he were alike; both were unfettered by wealth and wouldn’t let money constrain them.

For Chu Mo himself, as long as he liked something, he wouldn’t hesitate to spend billions or even tens of billions on planes and yachts, or spend hundreds of billions to buy an island—such actions were driven by a mere thought.

King Sairiman was much the same. If he was pleased, he could rent an entire island on a whim, travel with hundreds of bodyguards, or even build a palace made entirely of gold just because it struck his fancy.

Therefore, rather than going through the tiresome process of negotiating, it was better to cater to his preferences.

Just like himself, if King Sairiman could make him happy, Chu Mo might invest hundreds of billions in Shate Kingdom without asking for anything in return—he was capable of such a gesture.

By the same token, for Sairiman, if Chu Mo could make him happy, any condition was just a word away.

Having understood this point, Chu Mo felt an enlightening clarity.

He felt that he had gained much and his mood was also good.

At this moment, Zhao Wenjia, sitting beside him, suddenly spoke up,

“Listening all this time, the more I hear, the more confused I get. I know Sairiman is the King of Shate Kingdom. Are you discussing how to make Sairiman happy? But is this really the way you should be concerned about the matters of the Guo family?”

The handsome young man’s face was full of confusion.

At this time, Chu Mo and Sun Shangwu looked at each other and then burst into hearty laughter together!
