Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Mr. Chu, I've also looked into the effects of the first Longevity Pill, and Old Master Situ's condition has basically stabilized now," said Ren Wenxuan, Chairman of Shangyuan Entertainment, as he stood next to Chu Mo with a bottle of top-tier vintage wine in his hand, smiling at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo and Ren Wenxuan had a deep relationship, and their entertainment companies were still cooperating. Chu Mo picked up his wine glass lightly, a smile in his eyes as he clinked glasses with the other man, then spoke slowly,

"It's an honor for us that President Ren could take time out of your busy schedule to attend our club. I represent all the staff of the Longevity Club when I raise this glass to you."

The two top tycoons smiled and clinked their glasses, and after both men took a sip of the wine, Ren Wenxuan discreetly left. At that moment, Hua Country's richest man Zhang Dahua and Elder Lu arrived at Chu Mo's side.

"Mr. Chu, this glass is to you," said Zhang Dahua, who was slightly overweight, as he downed his drink in one go. Having set down his glass, he then said slowly,

"My son Dongdong has really troubled you, Mr. Chu. Without your training, he wouldn't be where he is today. Honestly, as a father, I never expected that one day Dongdong would become as mature and sensible as he is now. This is all thanks to Mr. Chu's cultivation...!"

Zhang Dahua was visibly inebriated; he had also received his fair share of toasts earlier, and the middle-aged man's cheeks were already flushed.

Chu Mo lifted his glass in response, took a light sip, and then said with a smile,

"President Zhang is too modest. Dongdong's achievements are entirely due to his own efforts. Honestly, without Dongdong's innovative ideas, the Longevity Club wouldn't be what it is today. It is I who should thank you, President Zhang, for raising such a fine son. Here's to you."

An exceedingly beautiful waitress immediately brought more wine, and Zhang Dahua, without another word, downed another glass of red wine.

After exchanging pleasantries with Zhang Dahua, Chu Mo turned his attention to Elder Lu beside him, his face filled with emotion as he said,

"Elder Lu, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, it's just that Siyue is too career-driven. I've called her several times before, advised her not to work so hard, and suggested she visit home more often. Siyue verbally agrees, but still refuses to leave the company at all. I'm really at a loss!"

Chu Mo's eyes carried a bitter smile. He had previously spoken with Elder Lu, who had complained that ever since Siyue took over Renjian Siyue Cosmetics Company, she had been working nonstop, hardly sleeping or eating, and had not been home for weeks.

Elder Lu had asked Chu Mo to persuade Siyue, but in the end, it had no effect. Even if Chu Mo personally called to remind Siyue to rest, she would agree verbally, but as soon as the call ended, his words were immediately forgotten.

Elder Lu, whose hair was completely white, shook his head with a bitter smile. Siyue was his granddaughter, whom he had watched grow up from a child. Elder Lu knew all too well how stubborn his beloved granddaughter could be.

Although Siyue usually appeared soft and delicate, once she made up her mind, not even eight oxen could pull her back.

Siyue's temperament was very much like Elder Lu's in his youth: both were the unyielding type, never resting until they achieved their goals.

Elder Lu gently shook his head, his eyes full of affectionate indulgence, then said slowly,

"I'm old now; the world belongs to you young people. I can't manage your affairs any longer."

Chu Mo and Elder Lu clinked glasses, and Elder Lu's expression suddenly turned extremely serious as he spoke slowly,

"Mr. Chu, I can't ask about Siyue any longer, but I must join your Longevity Club. My old bones are not what they used to be, and one of these days, I might fall and not be able to get up. So, no matter what, I need to have one of those first Longevity Pills. Should there come a day when I can't get out of bed, that small pill might just save my old life."

Elder Lu was earnest, not joking as usual, clearly placing great importance on the first Longevity Pill.

Chu Mo naturally would not be stingy. If it were some other wealthy individual asking for the first Longevity Pill, Chu Mo might have hesitated, but the person opposite him was Elder Lu, someone who had genuinely helped and looked after him in the past. Chu Mo naturally wanted to fulfill his request.

He nodded gently and then said earnestly,

"Elder Lu, rest assured. Afterward, I will arrange for the Longevity Pill to be delivered to your residence."

With Chu Mo's promise, Elder Lu immediately relaxed and nodded with a smile.

At this moment, another top tycoon approached to offer congratulations, and with Elders Lu and Zhang discerningly making their exit, Chu Mo once again exchanged pleasantries with the newcomer.

The experimental success of the first Longevity Pill had every top tycoon itching – for these billionaires, money was truly just a string of numbers, and the only thing that mattered to them now was lifespan.

The first Longevity Pill had already shown enough efficacy to potentially extend the life of a dying person by half a year. If these wealthy individuals, knowing their time was short, took the pill in advance, they might live even longer – even extending their lives by three years was not out of the question.
