Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Some time ago, I took Ding Qian to meet the international superstar Wang Guangju. At that time, Chu Mo tossed the keys to the Bugatti to the girl in front of him, and the next day he had someone use the spare keys to drive the car over to Shi Yuan Entertainment, afterward giving the spare keys to her as well.

However, the girl never used it once, and the Bugatti worth over forty million gathered dust in the parking lot for a month.

"I've been busy filming recently and haven't had time to drive around, plus I think that car is too valuable..."

"You have time now, right, Zi Xuan? Today, take a day off for Xiao Qian, let her rest well, and you just take that car for a spin."

Chu Mo directly interrupted what the girl in front of him was saying, knowing that she wanted to return the car; however, a gift given by Chu Mo could hardly be taken back.

He already had another luxury car worth tens of millions parked in his parking space, leaving no room for the Bugatti.

Seeing the girl opposite him still acting meekly, despite exuding a fairy-like aura, Chu Mo didn't give her the chance to discuss the matter and shifted the topic casually:

"Since the short film has been shot, the promotional aspects should be all set, right?"

Hearing this, Qin Zixuan, who picked up a notebook in front of her, took two steps towards Chu Mo, placing the notebook in front of him. Extending her slender jade hand, she skillfully opened the playback software and while doing so, her voice was melodious as she said:

"It's all prepared. This promotional video is one of the company's biggest projects, with a total investment of over fifty-eight million. The marketing department is ready to proceed at any time. As long as you have no objections after watching, we can start the full online campaign today."

As her words ended, she clicked to fullscreen the player on the notebook and gently pressed play.

Chu Mo, his eyes filled with anticipation, sat up a bit straighter. Indeed, it was the choice of the female lead for this short film that sparked the disintegration of the full collaboration between Shi Yuan Entertainment and Zhou's Tianhua Entertainment.

This very reason indirectly led to Chu Mo personally negotiating with the international superstar Wang Guangju and, after being rejected, he resolved to make his own business bigger and stronger.

If not for this series of events, Chu Mo's third phase of fifty-billion investment would have been delayed by at least half a year, and naturally, the cooperation with Shangyuan Entertainment would not have happened.

With a look of anticipation, he focused his gaze on the notebook screen, carrying an aura of gravity and sobriety.

At that moment, Ding Qian gently pinched her own thigh, clearly feeling her heart start to beat violently again.

The man in front of her had the power to determine her future with a single word. If this high-stakes short film didn't satisfy him...

Ding Qian didn't dare to imagine how terrible the consequences would be.

While Ding Qian was in a state of internal turmoil, war cries that shook the heavens began to emanate from the notebook.

As the screen transitioned from dark to light, the story officially began.

The first sight that struck the eyes was the continuous mountain range soaring into the skies... Great peaks between which the grand city lay sprawling... A battlefield fierce and wide before the city walls, as if a stage for Asuras to do battle.

In just a few seconds, with only three shots, the backdrop of the story was made explicitly clear without any drag.

And within these few seconds of footage, already over three million had been spent, provided by a top special effects company from America, presenting the audience with Hollywood-level top-notch imagery.

Chu Mo leaned forward subconsciously, his expression focused. He narrowed his eyes slightly, an embodiment of dedication and seriousness.

As the camera quickly zoomed in, changing the original perspective, an agile figure in black armor appeared on the screen and Chu Mo could surmise the warrior's valor and prowess from the profound marks on his armor.

Just the heavily armored helmet that revealed only the eyes and covered the warrior's entire face, his hands sheathed in scale armor tightly gripping the blood-stained broadsword; screams and battle cries filled the air around, and even through the screen, Chu Mo seemed to sense a tang of blood lingering at the tip of his nose.

Whether it was the live shooting or the post-production special effects, the battlefield's cruelty was perfectly captured. From the beginning until now, in just over ten seconds of footage, an absolutely realistic battlefield was presented to the audience.

Compared to the various eye-hurting dramas in the Hua Country entertainment industry, these ten plus seconds had already put them streets ahead.

This was truly a top-tier production.

At this moment, Chu Mo was completely captivated by the images before him, even the two blonde and blue-eyed maids behind him were curious and focused.

In the scene, an angry, axe-wielding colossus swung a huge battle axe in a furious roar, viciously chopping towards the black-armored warrior.

The agile and dexterous black-armored warrior flipped over in mid-air to dodge the other's ambush, and as his body fell from the sky, it carried a powerful momentum and swung the longsword in his hand hard at the top of the colossus's head.

Blood splattered across the screen, and in the next frame, the black-armored warrior descended from the sky, with the angry colossus slowly falling to the ground behind him.

However, there was no time for cheers or rest here; the instant the black-armored warrior landed, two figures wielding shields and swords had already swiftly pounced to kill him.

The unhesitating black-armored warrior rose with his sword, the bloodied blade piercing the neck of the first figure, and as a flower-like spray of blood gushed from the tip of the sword, the second figure had already raised their shield and charged ferociously at the warrior.

With no time to retract his sword, the second figure—roaring for vengeance for his comrade—violently knocked the black-armored warrior flying.

Just as Chu Mo's heart tensed slightly, the black-armored warrior in mid-air adjusted his body, and as he landed with a boom, quickly drew out a sharp dagger and without hesitation charged towards the roaring shield-bearer.

As his nimble figure reached the opponent, he suddenly halted, crouching sharply, the razor-sharp dagger slashing across the exposed ankle of the adversary. As the opponent lost their balance, the dagger in his hand swiftly slit their throat.

The black-armored warrior had just picked up his misplaced longsword, and without any pause, the sound of something tearing through the air came from behind.

The warrior immediately turned around and raised his sword to protect himself, but, just as the longsword reached his chest and before it could be lifted over his head, the sharp blade of his assailant had already descended upon his face

...!

The scene twisted again, and the sharp blade seemed to stop along with the entire world.

The broken stones flying through the air were also quietly suspended mid-air, and the black-armored warrior took a half-step back. As he moved away from the longsword inches from his face, he looked around in bewilderment.

He found that the entire battlefield before his eyes had turned into a completely still image.

The next moment, the black-armored warrior gently removed the helmet from his head, and instantly, a face of stunning, nation-toppling beauty appeared in the midst of the silent scene.

Just then, the background music started, and the soul-piercing anthem of glory echoed throughout the living room.

Chu Mo abruptly turned his gaze to the outstanding woman standing quietly opposite him.

In that moment, in Chu Mo's eyes, the woman before him with her heaven-defying beauty merged with the female warrior in black armor from the scene.

In her, Chu Mo seemed to see a staggering presence.

He then withdrew his gaze, focusing again on the laptop in front of him.

Yet, at this moment, no longer could his heart stay as calm as before.
