Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Furthermore, for me, providing assistance is not a difficult matter at all. A tanker full of oil might be challenging to arrange elsewhere, but for oil-producing countries like Saudi and Dubai, it's simply a piece of cake.

Moreover, I don't even need to get involved, Qiu Shui could easily handle it herself.

Therefore, I didn't hesitate too long and nodded directly saying,

"Since that's the case, then you can go ahead and manage it. If you encounter any trouble, you can ask Prince Ben Hesed of Dubai for help, and if it really can't be resolved, I'll step in."

On the other end of the line, Qiu Shui immediately agreed.

After a pause, it seemed like she was hesitating about something. Chu Mo slightly curled his lips, aware that the Gambia matter was just a small pretext for Qiu Shui and that the true purpose of her call was about her plans in Britain.

However, Chu Mo didn't point it out and instead waited for her to bring it up first.

But after a short while, Qiu Shui on the other end let out a soft sigh and she didn't bring up the topic about Britain but instead said gently,

"If Mr. Chu has no other instructions, then I'll start arranging the tanker now!"

Chu Mo hung up the phone. In the end, Qiu Shui still didn't take the initiative to mention the matter about Britain. She might have some ideas but she didn't dare to go against Chu Mo's wishes.

Looking up at Zhou Ruyi across from him, Chu Mo let out a soft sigh after a moment.

It wasn't that Chu Mo didn't trust Qiu Shui, but he simply could not find someone to replace her.

Dubai and Saudi were Chu Mo's first overseas deployments. The total investment in these two Middle Eastern countries had already exceeded four hundred billion, and he now had profound friendships with both Prince Ben Hesed of Dubai and the Saudi royal family, with Qiu Shui being the link to these friendships.

If Qiu Shui were to be replaced now, the enormous assets would be left unmanaged. Setting aside Zhou Ruyi in front of him, not even the seasoned spokespersons in Hua Country could easily take Qiu Shui's place.

As for Britain, since everything was just beginning, it was actually the easiest to let go of. Chu Mo wasn't too concerned about his arrangements in Britain, which is why he let Zhou Ruyi give it a go; to Chu Mo, the success or failure of this venture didn't matter.

But the deployments in Saudi and Dubai could not afford any failure at all. Chu Mo believed that his investments in these two countries would definitely bring tremendous benefits in the future.

These benefits wouldn't necessarily be in economic assets alone, but more likely in connections and experience.

It was for this reason that Chu Mo didn't have Zhou Ruyi replace Qiu Shui and then send Qiu Shui to expand the market in Britain anew.

While Chu Mo was pondering his strategy, the two girls across from him who had been chattering non-stop suddenly fell silent. Then, Xu Wanying, with her face full of curiosity, leaned closer to Zhou Ruyi's ear, whispering with caution,

"Ruyi, what exactly does your friend do? I just heard something about oil and tankers on his phone call. He doesn't look very reliable... he's not a scammer, right?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ruyi rolled her eyes slightly. Others might not know what Mr. Chu did, but how could Zhou Ruyi not know?

Mr. Chu of Magic Capital, a top-level boss with an extensive reach. With just one word, he could topple a family worth tens of billions. Recently, Zhou Ruyi had thoroughly researched Mr. Chu and discovered many things that most people wouldn't know.

Leaning closer to her friend's ear, Zhou Ruyi whispered,

"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense. If he hears you, you're done for. All I can tell you is that my friend has a very special status, one that ordinary people would never encounter."

Before Zhou Ruyi could finish speaking, Wang Kuan, the handsome young man sitting opposite, suddenly burst into laughter. This sunny-faced youth raised his glass to clink with his companions' and downed his drink, his voice filled with laughter,

"Dong Jing, you know about Gambia, right? Although we've never been there, we've always learned about it in geography class. It has a population of nearly ten million and is an oil-producing country. How could they be lacking oil? To say that they'll come to a standstill within 48 hours due to an oil shortage is probably the funniest joke I've heard in years!

Some people will go to any lengths to show off, not only being shameless but now even abandoning their brains. Haha, let's drink!"

Named Wang Kuan, the young man was sitting closest to Chu Mo. He was only one fist's distance away and since Chu Mo had not made any effort to speak covertly during his call, Wang Kuan, attentive to overhear, naturally caught the entire conversation between Chu Mo and Qiu Shui.

The handsome young man had just offered a toast to Chu Mo, downing his drink in one gulp, but Chu Mo hadn't even touched his glass, feeling disrespected, the young man naturally sought to save face, and having overheard Chu Mo's phone call, he felt he had a handle and was not going to pass up the opportunity to take a jab at Chu Mo.

The few girls sitting opposite had been quite far from Chu Mo and had only caught bits and pieces of his phone conversation, but now, hearing Wang Kuan's words, they finally understood the content of Chu Mo's recent call.

Compared to the two men with scorn written all over their faces, the expressions of the three girls opposite were varied.

Zhou Ruyi was aware of Chu Mo's identity, so she naturally had no doubts about him.

It wasn't until now that Pei Er, who had not dared to even lift her head before, had finally calmed down, but at this moment, she had lost the edge she had shown earlier, appearing extremely cautious.

As for the girl named Xu Wanying, her expression was one of pure curiosity.

Of course, Chu Mo had no need to take offense at the two young men beside him, and even less to prove anything to them, one reason being it was unnecessary and the other, that they had not reached the level that would warrant Chu Mo's attention.

He glanced at his wristwatch, it was half-past ten in the evening.

He rose gently from his seat and then addressed Zhou Ruyi across from him:

"Ruyi, have fun with your friends, I have some matters to attend to and won't stay long, I'll pick up the bill tonight, enjoy yourselves."

With those words, Chu Mo took strides toward the exit of the bar.

The atmosphere here was pleasant but better suited for quietly enjoying alone, or at least Chu Mo preferred to be by himself.

However, just a few steps after he walked away, Lei Ting who was behind him followed, but the ponytailed girl named Pei Er suddenly stood up.

As if mustering all her courage, her face slightly flushed, the stunningly beautiful girl called out loudly:

"Wait!"

Chu Mo paused slightly, turning his head to look at the girl who was trembling faintly, his eyes reflecting a hint of inquiry.

Zhou Ruyi immediately stood up and grabbed her friend's hand, fearing her friend would act rashly, but clearly, she worried needlessly, as at this moment Pei Er didn't show her usual assertiveness, but instead spoke very carefully:

"Um... I am a fourth-degree black belt in the underworld, my instructor calls me a martial arts genius that comes once in a hundred years, I've defeated many people, even international experts with a seventh-degree black belt, but never like now have I felt courage leave me before a fight has even begun.

I just want to ask... what is the identity of your bodyguard, Chu? If I can't get past this mental block today, I fear I'll never make any progress."

The ponytailed girl looked directly at Chu Mo, her entire being like a small boat in the vast ocean, trembling slightly.

Chu Mo's lips curled into a light smirk; the identity of Lei Ting behind him was unknown to others, but Chu Mo was well aware.

A Great Grandmaster of martial arts, that's an existence standing at the peak, not just in Hua Country but in the whole world, and amongst over a billion people in Hua Country, there are only six who have reached this level.

To say one in a million wouldn't be an exaggeration.

If the girl named Pei Er is a martial arts prodigy that comes once in a century, then Lei Ting is a once-in-ten-thousand-years talent.

Chu Mo's lips carried a hint of tease as he said:

"Want to know the identity of my bodyguard? Why don't you try a match with him and find out for yourself?"

Chu Mo spoke in jest, but at his words, the ponytailed girl opposite him bit her lip hard and took a deep breath, replying:

"Alright then! Let's have a match!"
