Trillionaire's Slice of Life

After hitting dial, Zhao Yongle cautiously waited.

The phone rang repeatedly, and after several dozen seconds, a lazy voice finally came from the other end.

"Hello Chairman, this is Zhao Yongle from our company, the singer... yes, yes, the song 'After the Breakup' was sung by me, yes, I will definitely work harder in the future...

Chairman, I needed to report an issue to you. Today, while filming a show on location at a well-known café, due to some minor misunderstandings, there were some slight issues with the guests here... no, we absolutely did not bully anyone using our influence...

Alright, alright, I will explain everything clearly to the president. However, that person seems to know you, Chairman. What does he look like? He's a middle-aged man with a strong presence, it's hard to explain clearly, otherwise, shall I secretly take a photo and send it to your phone?

Alright, alright! Sorry to disturb your rest, Chairman...!"

A busy tone followed from the other end, and only then did sweat slowly trickle down Zhao Yongle's forehead.

On the other end, although the Young Master Liu of the Capital City seemed easy to get along with and had a polite tone, he was actually one of the most infamous spoiled heirs in the entire Capital City.

Offending this Young Master Liu definitely would not yield any good outcomes.

"Yongle, your brother owes you a favor this time."

The middle-aged director naturally witnessed the entire event and believed that with the Young Master Liu of the Liu family from Capital City stepping in personally, the matter was settled.

However, unlike the director's confidence, Zhao Yongle was filled with anxiety. Although he had information about the company Chairman, he also understood that the two men opposite him probably weren't somebody the Chairman could handle easily.

Secretly, he turned on his phone camera, and in a concealed corner, he took a photo. Although the image was not very clear, the outline was visible enough that someone familiar could likely recognize the person.

With anxiety in his heart, Zhao Yongle sent the photo to the Chairman. But before he could even slightly relax, his phone vibrated intensely.

His body jolted violently as his screen displayed the words "Chairman." Zhao Yongle's heart sank.

Swallowing hard, Zhao Yongle carefully answered the call, but before he could speak, an extremely chilling voice came through.

"Explain in detail what happened just now. If you hide anything, I will skin you."

...

Originally, Chu Mo hadn't planned to get involved in the current situation. Yang Jianguo, the Family Head of the Yang family of the Capital City, could easily handle a trivial director with a word, and besides, this was Capital City, Yang Jianguo's stronghold. Here, even Chu Mo would keep a respectful distance, and naturally, he did not want to wade into these murky waters.

However, his peace was soon disrupted by a phone call.

As Chu Mo picked up his phone, he saw "Liu Wei of the Capital City" on the screen.

A slight smile formed on his lips, despite his reluctance, Chu Mo still chose to answer the call.

He pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear. A familiar voice gently came through.

"Master Chu, if you don't help me with this, I'll have no choice but to go back and inherit the family business...!"

The voice of Liu Wei on the other end carried a mix of resignation, self-mockery, and a deep sense of powerlessness.

In the entire Capital City, there weren't many people Young Master Liu was wary of. In the circle of the second generation heirs, aside from Yang Jianguo, the second son of the Yang family, who could overshadow him, Liu Wei didn't regard anyone else highly.

Of course, this was only among the second generation. Given Liu Wei's status, he could only mingle within this circle.

Among the first generation's circle, even many billionaires worth tens or hundreds of billions would act very humble before Liu Wei, as he was set to inherit the Liu family's assets worth 370 billion.

In the entire Capital City, the only person that could make Liu Wei feel powerless was Yang Jianguo, the Family Head of the Yang family of the Capital City.

He was someone even Liu Wei's own father tried to please. Whenever Liu Wei saw Yang Jianguo, he would definitely turn and walk away, certainly not daring to meet him face to face.

Even if an encounter was unavoidable, he maintained the most humble attitude.

Liu Wei felt a fear of Yang Jianguo from the bottom of his heart, a fear that was almost engraved in his bones.

If he were to stay with Yang Jianguo, Liu Wei would even feel suffocated.

So, when he saw that his subordinate had provoked Yang Jianguo, Liu Wei completely lost his composure.

Just as Liu Wei felt desperate, he saw the relaxed Chu Mo by Yang Jianguo's side and, as if clutching at the last straw, Liu Wei immediately made a distress call.

"Chu, old man Yang is definitely serious this time. With just a word from him, my Jiuzhou Entertainment Company would be finished. Then, according to the agreement with my father, I can only go back and take over the family business. You really need to help me this time."

Liu Wei on the other end of the call no longer displayed any composure, but instead conveyed a strong sense of helplessness.

Facing anyone else, he would dare to struggle vigorously, even if it meant mutual destruction, but only facing Yang Jianguo, the two were not on the same level at all. It was an absolute dimensional strike. Liu Wei couldn't even muster the thought to resist.

Chu Mo did not agree; his gaze swept over the imposing Yang Jianguo across him, quickly calculating something in his mind.

After a moment, Chu Mo, elegantly sipping his coffee, replied casually,

"I'll handle it."

With those words, Chu Mo hung up the phone without further ado.

Then, shifting his gaze to Yang Jianguo opposite him, Chu Mo casually said,

"Liu is still too impatient."

Chu Mo's voice was calm, but as his indifferent words fell, the previously terrifying Yang Jianguo suddenly sighed gently. He sat upright again, turned his gaze to Chu Mo, and as the middle-aged man reverted to normalcy, he spoke,

"This Liu Wei still lacks some experience. I thought he would come over by himself today. It turns out he still lacks the courage to see me."

Chu Mo observed the disappointed expression on Yang Jianguo's face and slightly narrowed his eyes, a flicker of realization crossing his mind.

It seemed that Yang Jianguo's earlier pressure was not genuinely aimed at the few insignificant figures opposite but was intended to force Liu Wei to show up.

The Liu family had always been under the Yang family's wing, with both families in deep collaboration. However, Liu Wei, the heir to the Liu family, was not particularly fond of the Yang family, always keeping his distance from Yang Jianguo.

Future leader Liu Wei might opt for separation, which was something Yang Jianguo could not accept.

So, he thought of using this opportunity to have a good talk with Liu Wei, but he did not expect that Liu Wei's fear of him was so ingrained that he dared not meet him.

In Yang Jianguo's sigh, Chu Mo's lips slightly curved upward.

Since Liu Wei was so averse to the Yang family, this provided an opportunity for himself.

Chu Mo had a good relationship with Liu Wei, and if he could pull Liu Wei into his camp, coupled with the Luo family in Capital City, these two families working with him would ensure the Capital City was no longer dominated solely by the Yang family.

With thoughts flowing, Chu Mo decided to help Liu Wei through this difficult time.

He gave a slight nod to Yang Jianguo across from him and then, with a smile, said,

"I think Zhao Yongle is quite talented. Currently, our Shi Yuan Entertainment is hosting a singing talent show, and I intend to give him a push. We at Shi Yuan Entertainment could strengthen cooperation with Jiuzhou Entertainment."

With that, Chu Mo made his stance clear.

Yang Jianguo across narrowed his eyes slightly, gave Chu Mo a light look, and, understanding Chu Mo's intentions yet more interested in the Longevity Pill that Chu Mo had, chose not to spoil relations over such trivial matter at this time.

Thus, with an unchanged expression, Yang Jianguo slowly nodded but said nothing more.
