Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Brother Sun, Li Ming and his group of bastards are dead set on playing with us; these damn dogs don't play by the rules and always use underhanded tactics,"

"It seems like those black-clothed idiots must have been called in from a security company to make a show of force. What do we do? If we just call our brothers over, I'm afraid we won't gain any advantage."

The young man speaking was the tall guy who had been taken down by Chu Mo and Zhou Gang. His name was Guo Feng, and his family was in the trading business, with a fortune of several billion.

Guo Feng was the primary combatant for Sun Li's side, and he had been friends and playmates with Sun Li since childhood.

Clutching his stomach and then rubbing his head, Sun Li felt as though he was falling apart, not a single spot on his body was without pain.

He had never been beaten like this before; he had always been the one to deal out beatings. If he couldn't turn the tables today, Sun Li could forget about mixing with the second-generation circles in Shanghai.

Sun Li had been at odds with Li Ming since childhood. He looked down on Li Ming for hanging around Miss Lu like a lapdog.

The two families' relations were actually pretty good, their elders even had some connections, but the two third-generation heirs just couldn't see eye to eye. Whenever they met, they never failed to clash.

When Sun Li saw Li Ming give a performer on stage a gift worth a hundred thousand in one go, he had an idea. With a wave of his hand, he sent a gift worth one hundred and ninety-nine thousand roses, always needing to one-up his opponent in any setting.

When the guzheng player came up to thank him, he embarrassingly demanded to drink cross-cupped wine with the girl.

In fact, Sun Li didn't have any animosity towards the girl, but since she was favoured by Li Ming, he just wanted to disgust Li Ming. He had thought Li Ming would most likely just swallow his anger, at most come over to talk trash, and that would be the end of it.

But he never expected that one of Li Ming's lackeys, whom he had never met, would dare to get physical.

The friction between him and Li Ming was constant, but it was mostly verbal sparring, maybe some behind-the-scenes sabotage at most. There had never been a physical altercation like today. Now that Li Ming had crossed a line, if Sun Li didn't make a move, he would really be seen as a pushover.

Since the other side had called for security company personnel, even if he called over more brothers, they would likely still get beat up. After hesitating, Sun Li clenched his teeth and took out his phone to dial a number.

This person was someone he also had to curry favor with in ordinary times. For today's incident, Sun Li was ready to go all in.

...

As Sun Li made another call to summon reinforcements, Chu Mo's second wave of support had already arrived.

It was the butler Danny and his classmate, Zhao Ziqi.

Zhao Ziqi had been a key attorney at Hua Zheng Law Firm, but after signing with the Shanghai Financial Tower, she was poached by Chu Mo with a high salary.

With Chu Mo's backing, Zhao Ziqi had now established her own law firm, where she was both the lead attorney and the top executive.

Ziqi Law Firm currently boasted twelve elite core lawyers, all headhunted by Zhao Ziqi with high salaries.

At this point, Chu Mo had entrusted the law firm for Danny to manage.

The twelve lawyers, along with Zhao Ziqi herself, were currently assisting Zhan Bingxue from Bafang International in negotiations with their next target.

The successful negotiation of Tianyi International Hotel, which took a month to complete, was Zhao Ziqi's achievement.

Zhao Ziqi, immaculate in a suit, arrived with a dozen elite lawyers at Chu Mo's side. This was their third meeting.

The first was two months prior, for the contract signing with Fudan University, the second during the financial deal with the Zhou family, and now the third.

She no longer had the carefree ease of someone with no desires like before.

Now, she was not just Danny's classmate, but an employee under the command of the young man before her.

Her benefits had increased more than fivefold compared to before, and her future looked bright.

So, she was respectful and wholeheartedly humble in her demeanor.

"Mr. Chu, I apologize for your discomfort. Rest assured, no matter what happens, we'll strive to secure the greatest advantage for you in legal matters,"

Zhao Ziqi had long been accustomed to dealing with judges and police in her day-to-day work, developing an air of righteousness.

Ordinary people naturally felt compelled to lower their heads in her presence, feeling somewhat ashamed by comparison. Yet, this paragon of integrity in the eyes of the second and third generations bowed respectfully when facing Chu Mo.

"Attorney Zhao, thank you for your hard work. Danny, please entertain them in the booth next door, order any drinks you like, on me,"

The aristocratically poised Butler Danny immediately bowed and then escorted the elite lawyers to the neighbouring booth to wait quietly.

At the same time, in a corner of the bar, Lu Siyue also hung up her phone. With such a big issue at hand, she definitely couldn't decide on her own, and had just notified her grandfather, the head of the Lu family, also known as Elder Lu.

She meticulously recounted every detail of the incident over the phone: the clash of the rich young heirs, Chu Mo's intervention, and finally, Chu Mo's response.

After a moment of silence, the man revered by many as Elder Lu dropped a sentence saying not to get involved with the bar matter, and as for your own affair, make your own decisions, and then hung up the phone.

Lu Siyue carefully pondered her grandfather's words. After a few moments of silence, she touched up her light makeup in the corner and then gracefully made her way towards the young man.
