Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Wang Guangju was thirty-eight years old this year, and not only did he possess the title of one of the "Four Heavenly Kings," but he also had another moniker: the ageless male deity.

Standing at 1.81 meters, almost equal in height to Chu Mo, Wang Guangju was well-proportioned and robust, with a face so nearly perfect that it would make people scream at a glance.

Like Ding Qian, when he arrived at the coffee shop, he too had his face covered with a mask and sunglasses.

Chu Mo stood up to welcome him, and Ding Qian, who had been sitting opposite, also stood up. After exchanging greetings, she consciously took the seat next to Chu Mo.

"Sorry, I'm the one who is late."

Twenty-five minutes late, Wang Guangju's handsome cheeks were full of contrition. He did not attempt to make excuses, but instead sincerely apologized to Chu Mo and Ding Qian.

Chu Mo waved his hand, having anticipated this situation and not minding it, and he said with a smile,

"It's okay. Let me introduce myself. My name is Chu Mo. I'm a fan of your movies, Brother Wang. This is Ding Qian. She insisted on following along to meet you after hearing that you would be here."

Ding Qian's cheeks were slightly flushed next to him, but she didn't scream excitedly like an ordinary girl. Instead, she greeted him in a restrained manner and then fell silent.

"Mr. Chu, you're too polite."

Wang Guangju, who exuded a cultured air, ordered a coffee for himself. The server beside him was already trembling with excitement, but Wang Guangju gestured for silence with a gentle hand, causing the young girl, who looked like she might cry, to nearly trip as she walked.

Chu Mo was aware of the tremendous impact the man opposite had on ordinary girls. Without a doubt, if word got out that he was here, the whole street would descend into chaos.

"I often come here for coffee. The owner of this place is a friend of mine, so there's no need to worry about security."

The man opposite seemed to possess the magic power to see through people's hearts. Chu Mo had just been worried that the server would let slip the news of a big star here, possibly affecting their conversation.

Since that was the case, Chu Mo put his concerns to rest.

"Brother Wang, you're shooting a movie lately, aren't you? From what's shown in the behind-the-scenes footage, it seems to be a cop and robber drama. The scenes of Brother Wang fighting are very cool."

Chu Mo, who had just reviewed the other's information, knew that Wang Guangju had come to the Magic City to scout for movie locations. Thus, he took the initiative to bridge the gap and start a conversation.

"Indeed, that's correct. The plan was originally to shoot the last scene of the showdown with the arch-villain on the 259-meter-high skywalk at the Oriental Pearl Tower. However, we've been unable to obtain the necessary permits, so our stay in the Magic City has been extended."

Wang Guangju's voice was full of magnetism, even more captivating than those of radio broadcasters who are heard but not seen. Hearing that he had encountered a difficulty, Chu Mo raised his eyebrow and took the initiative to offer:

"Is the situation resolved? If it's really not working out, I could arrange for you to use the observation hall of the Financial Building. Although it's not as well-known as the Pearl Tower, the scenery for filming won't be any less spectacular..."

The two men conversed in soft tones, and Ding Qian, sitting by the window, seemed to be on the verge of tears. One moment she would gaze at the big star Wang Guangju, and the next she would glance at the imposing Chu Mo by her side. She felt as though both men possessed an addictive charisma.

Originally a fan of Wang Guangju, she had been captivated by his handsome appearance on television when she was four or five years old. Her greatest wish since childhood was to meet her idol face to face.

Now that her wish had been fulfilled, her heart was excited, but not as wildly thrilled as she had imagined, especially when seeing the calm profile of the young man beside her. Her mood unexpectedly began to stabilize.

The young man sitting beside her was about her age, but he had a mature and steady air about him. Just by sitting next to him and watching him converse calmly, she felt influenced.

The previously tumultuous feelings in her heart gradually calmed, and even her deer-like racing heartbeat returned to a steady pace.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

As Ding Qian silently compared the two men in her heart, Wang Guangju opposite her took a light sip of his coffee. When he set down the cup, his formerly casual posture straightened slightly. Then, the man with the godly appearance spoke earnestly,

"Mr. Chu, let's get back to the point. To be honest, although Shi Yuan Entertainment has been developing well recently, with a full range of resources and promotions, it doesn't hold much appeal for me.

To speak frankly, without intending to offend Mr. Chu, I'm sitting here not because of Shi Yuan Entertainment's invitation, but because of the face given by Mr. Zhou from Tianhua Entertainment."

The originally relaxed atmosphere was suddenly saturated with tension, and Wang Guangju said with a casual but clear-eyed smile,

"Mr. Chu, please don't misunderstand. I'm just someone who speaks his mind, with no intention to belittle. I'm simply expressing my personal opinion."

Before Chu Mo could speak, Ding Qian, who previously had stars in her eyes, promptly straightened up with seriousness.

One man in front of her was her idol, and the other was the boss behind her company's boss. She felt a tug of conflict within, uncertain whose side she should take. However, after a moment, she merely pursed her lips slightly, realizing that both men were out of reach for her now. Even if she wanted to, she didn't have the capability to help either side in their negotiation.

With such thoughts in mind, her inner conflict dissipated. She turned her gaze towards the young man beside her, her concern growing faintly.
