Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 427: Chapter 620 Two Circles

“`

Long Huanyu, the eldest grandson of the Long family, was also one of the two most outstanding inheritors among the third generation of the Long family.

In the future, he would compete with his youngest brother for the position of Family Head of the Long family, and once he took charge, the entire Fragrant Harbor would become his backyard.

Long Huanyu was three fingers taller than Chu Mo, who stood at 1.82 meters; conservatively estimated, his height was over 1.85 meters. With his handsome and extraordinary appearance, when the other party took the initiative to come forward, Chu Mo shook hands with him indifferently and then nodded:

“Young Master Long, I’ve long admired your renowned name!”

Unlike Chu Mo’s utterly indifferent expression, the tall young man in front of him had a full smile on his face. He shook hands with Chu Mo enthusiastically, then made a welcoming gesture and said with a radiant smile:

“Mr. Chu, your great name is also well-known in Fragrant Harbor. Please come in; I’d like to introduce you to a few friends.”

Fang Lihu and the other bodyguards naturally had someone to attend to them, leaving Chu Mo to step into the hall alone.

Compared to the Imperial Pavilion, the mansion that was several times larger integrated luxury and elegance seamlessly. In the resplendent hall, everywhere were precious antique paintings and calligraphy. Even a casual vase could be an antique worth tens of millions, and the seemingly ordinary tables and chairs were prized collections with centuries of history.

The tall and erect figure of the eldest young master of the Long family paced steadily, his demeanor sober and every movement graceful like that of a nobleman.

In contrast to the enthusiasm of the Long family’s elder son, Chu Mo remained exceedingly indifferent, nodding occasionally but silent throughout the journey.

Shortly afterward, they passed through the hall and arrived in front of a door made of golden Phoebe wood. A servant opened the doors for them and, the moment the door swung open, a room filled with a strong scholarly aura was revealed.

This was a room with a massive bookshelf in the corner, packed with books in various languages. Crystal chandeliers overhead and furniture made of golden Phoebe wood added to the room’s splendor.

Chu Mo’s gaze quickly swept over the room. In front of him, six or seven young men in their twenties and thirties were chatting and laughing with each other. Among them, Chu Mo recognized two.

Li Xiaoyao, the eldest young master of the Li family from Jiangnan, and Yang Jianguo, the second young master of the Yang family from Capital City.

Taking into account the presence of Long Huanyu, the Long family’s elder son beside him, the answer became apparent.

The young men in this room were likely the most powerful heirs of the eight great families.

“Young Master Long, who is this? I find him quite unfamiliar!”

Chu Mo’s gaze quickly swept over the hall and finally rested on the young man who had just spoken.

The somewhat obese young man seemed out of place compared to the group of tall and handsome elite offspring surrounding him. His whole demeanor exuded a lazy air.

Long Huanyu strolled into the room, a smile on his handsome face, and then said:

“Let me introduce him to the other young masters. This is Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu’s fame has recently resounded throughout Hua Country, so I’m sure Mr. Liu has heard of Mr. Chu’s name!”

The chubby young man waved his hand lazily, looking as if he had not yet woken up, and listlessly said:

“Mr. Chu from Modu? Never heard of him, but I do know Mr. Lin from Modu.”

Long Huanyu gestured for Chu Mo to take a seat. As soon as a beautiful maid served tea, Chu Mo picked up the teacup and lightly sipped it. The taste was on par with the top-quality Longjing tea at home, worth over two million, but still a notch below the Spirit Rhyme Tea worth over one hundred million.

While Chu Mo sipped his tea, his gaze never left the chubby young man. Now that Long Huanyu had addressed the other as Mr. Liu, Chu Mo already had his answer.

Among the eight great families, the Liu family was the only one from Zhongzhou.

The Liu family ancestors were merchants from Zhongzhou, mainly operating in real estate and holding absolute influence in Zhongzhou.

There were as many as six direct inheritors in the third generation of the Liu family, making the competition extremely fierce. As for which one of the six the chubby young man was, Chu Mo honestly had no idea.

“`

Chu Mo had just settled down when Yang Jianguo, the second young master of the Yang family from Capital City, whom he had met once before, suddenly laughed and said,

“Mr. Liu, you may not know this, but Mr. Chu from the Devil City is now a hotshot. The top three tallest buildings in the Devil City were all his doing. In the Devil City, Mr. Chu’s word is law; if he’s not pleased, entire families are at risk!”

As the words of Yang Jianguo fell, the plump young man beside him widened his eyes in confusion, saying,

“If I remember correctly, isn’t the tallest building in the Devil City owned by the Li family’s eldest son? What? Did Jinmao Mansion change hands?”

Li Hongda, the tallest and biggest young master of the Li family from Jiangnan who was more interested in music than taking over the family business, said indifferently,

“Jinmao Mansion hasn’t been under the Li name for a long time—it was sold off long ago!”

Next to the bookshelf, a young man in his early thirties raised his eyebrows slightly. His gaze also turned toward Chu Mo as he said casually,

“Now that you mention it, I suddenly remember Su Zhengxiong, that ‘King Su’ from Devil City, whose household was destroyed recently; that was Mr. Chu’s handiwork, wasn’t it? I heard even Ma Yu from Alibaba went there, and in the end, Mr. Chu didn’t even give face to Ma Yu, did he?”

Chu Mo placed the teacup in his hand on the coffee table in front of him. Right at the entrance of the main hall, when he saw that the person in charge of reception was not the Family Head of the Long family, Long Weiguo, but Long Huanyu, the family’s eldest son, Chu Mo sensed that something was amiss.

He came to Xiangjiang to meet with the Shate Kingdom King and Prince, and naturally, the heads of the eight major families would accompany the king. As for the group of third and fourth generation heirs present, they were not even qualified to meet with him.@@novelbin@@

Chu Mo being arranged to be in the same room with these heirs likely meant that he had not been taken seriously by the Long family; he was regarded as being on the same level as these second generation heirs.

Even though Chu Mo’s own worth wasn’t low, with Bafang International Chain Hotel’s market value exceeding a hundred billion, Shi Yuan Entertainment also reaching seventy billion, and Longevity Club being on the trillion-level scale, compared to the eight big families, his worth was not too far off. However, in the eyes of the heads of the eight families, he was still just a junior who didn’t qualify to be taken seriously.

All the young people in front of him were the most potential heirs of the eight major families. To outsiders, being able to connect with any one of them would be an opportunity to shoot to success, something most people would desperately grasp at.

However, for Chu Mo, this group of heirs were nothing. Before they could inherit their respective families, the funds they could control probably wouldn’t exceed one billion. Such entities were hardly worth a second glance from Chu Mo in normal times.

Chu Mo’s gaze fell on the smirking Yang Jianguo. Previously, at Prince Gong’s Mansion in Capital City, he had an unpleasant encounter with this second young master of the Yang family, and now, seizing such an opportunity, Yang Jianguo naturally belittled Chu Mo every chance he got.

Looking at the indifferent face of Yang Jianguo, Chu Mo suddenly remembered Yang Xiulu, the Fourth Master of the Yang family, who had completely broken off with the other and was now fully vying for the position of Family Head.

But Yang Xiulu himself was very indecisive and, fused with an ignorance of genuine knowledge, he was not a promising candidate at all.

Yang Duoer, the eldest daughter of the Yang family, was secretly supporting the fourth son in his struggle against the second son.

Chu Mo had always stayed out of it, but now he suddenly realized that if the future heir of the Yang family turned out to be this second young master, even if he wouldn’t oppose Chu Mo due to family interests, having such a disagreeable person in a prominent position was somewhat unsightly.

“One hundred billion yuan, I wonder if that youngster Yang Xiulu can seize it!”

Chu Mo’s gaze shifted away from Yang Jianguo as he slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

If this second young master of the Yang family didn’t know any better, then maybe it was time to pull him down and replace him with someone who did!

“Mr. Chu just said something?”

Long Huanyu, the eldest son of the Long family beside him, raised his eyebrows slightly. His handsome features were tinged with a touch of confusion as he looked at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo shook his head slightly. He chose not to elaborate further, instead, watching the younger generations in the room as if watching a drama unfold.

In his eyes, a trace of cold sharpness began to emerge.
