Trillionaire's Slice of Life
Chapter 946

Chapter 946: Chapter 616: The Chess Player Chapter 946: Chapter 616: The Chess Player Compared to a year ago, Sun Qing before him appeared to have matured greatly; all of the previous arrogance and self-confidence were gone, replaced by humility and respect.

Chu Mo suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

He clearly remembered how, a year ago when Shi Yuan Entertainment had just started, he had personally sought out Sun Qing to discuss potential collaboration as she was not only a super top-tier celebrity worth billions but also owned a promising company, which had made her quite self-important.

Back then, it had also cost Chu Mo no small effort to convince her to join his company.

At the founding of Shi Yuan Entertainment, Sun Qing had not only joined the company herself but had also brought over a dozen artists from her company to Shi Yuan.

For the development of Shi Yuan Entertainment, Sun Qing had used quite a few personal connections and friendships; back then, Qin Zixuan, who was a complete novice, knew nothing and was entirely guided by Sun Qing.

Perhaps it was for this reason that she harbored the idea and ambition that she could control the entire company by herself, which led to subsequent complications.

...

However, it couldn’t be denied that Sun Qing had indeed provided significant help in the early stage.

Chu Mo wasn’t a petty person.

A year and a half was enough for him to let go of past grievances.

Moreover, given Chu Mo’s status and identity today, he wouldn’t harbor resentment over a trivial matter towards Sun Qing—it wasn’t necessary.

After all, Sun Qing wasn’t significant enough to be worth bearing a grudge in his heart.

As he watched the charming woman before him, he took a deep breath then got up from his desk, walked over to the reception area, and, after gesturing to her, sat down boldly on the plush leather sofa.

Once Sun Qing sat demurely opposite him, Chu Mo began with a smile, “How is it going?

Have you encountered any difficulties at the company?

We are old acquaintances after all.

Whatever troubles you face, as a friend, I’ll do my part to help.”

Sun Qing had a pair of pure eyes which, when she smiled, turned into crescent moons, making her appear both enticing and youthful, an irresistible combination.

Chu Mo believed that most men in Sun Qing’s presence might even find themselves unable to speak.

Adjusting her dress slightly, Sun Qing, dressed in an off-the-shoulder gown, leaned forward confidently like a proud princess, giving quite the view of her pale clavicles.

A charming smile played on her lips as she softly said, “Mr.

Chu, I’ve been thinking a lot.

If I hadn’t joined Shi Yuan Entertainment, what would I be like now?

Back then, I had established Ruoxi Studio with four top-tier and nine second-tier artists under me.

Even though it couldn’t compare to Shi Yuan Entertainment, it still held some influence in the entertainment industry.

At that time, I was at the peak of my career, one of the few super top-tier celebrities in Hua Country.

I ranked among the top few in terms of networks and popularity!

If I hadn’t joined Shi Yuan Entertainment, relying on my efforts alone, I believe Ruoxi Studio might have reached a value of over ten billion by now.

Even if I couldn’t have reached the level of an international superstar, I should have at least ranked in the top three…

But now, since joining the company, I’ve exhausted my connections for the company’s development and brought my entire Ruoxi Studio into Shi Yuan, literally giving it my all.

What did I gain?

Now, I’ve lost my company, my connections are spent, and my popularity has stagnated…

Recently, in the ranking of top-tier female celebrities in Hua Country, I even fell to fifteenth place or worse…

I don’t even know what I was aiming for… Sometimes, I truly regret it.

Of course, even without joining Shi Yuan Entertainment, I might have faced a company closure due to poor management and fallen into a slump—it’s not impossible.

I’m not blaming you, Mr.

Chu.

It’s just that most of the time, I can’t help but reflect on what could have been if I could turn back time, I definitely would choose a different path!”

Sun Qing said a lot, but Chu Mo did not interrupt her; he just listened quietly.

This was the first time Chu Mo and Sun Qing had such a heartfelt conversation.

Chu Mo had visited Shi Yuan Entertainment before, more than once, but back then, it had been for inspection rather than interaction.

He was usually accompanied by a group of company executives; even if he happened to run into Sun Qing, their interactions were limited to brief eye contact with hardly any conversation, let alone a deep exchange.

If it hadn’t been for the recent acquisition of Hermès and Chanel, if Hermès hadn’t been in need of a new head, if Qin Zixuan hadn’t volunteered to take over Hermès, and if he hadn’t been serving as the temporary chairman of Shi Yuan…

These factors combined had led to today’s meeting and allowed Sun Qing to speak her mind freely.

Chu Mo gently closed his eyes, contemplating over the past one and a half years during which he had rapidly advanced.

Everyone around him, whether the dozens of spokespersons, his friends and family, or those who had worked with him, had reaped immense benefits.

Many had even become billionaires.

Even the maids around him were paid several times more than others in similar positions.
