By the time he got home, it was already midnight.
Even though Chen Zhao tried to be careful, he still woke Fali up.
"Chen, you're back."
"Yeah." Chen Zhao caressed Fali. He didn't want to wake her up.
Ever since she got pregnant, Fali's sleep quality had obviously decreased. Most of the time, a small sound would wake her up.
Fali moved her head to Chen Zhao's arm and fell asleep on his shoulder.
After Fali fell asleep, Chen Zhao gently moved her head to the pillow.
After all, his arm wasn't comfortable.
In the morning, Chen Zhao woke up early, which was rare. He prepared breakfast for Fali.
Then he sat in the middle of the lake and started practicing.
Clatter, clatter … Just then, Gerlyn's voice sounded.
Chen Zhao opened his eyes and saw that Gerlyn had actually gone into the water early in the morning.
The temperature wasn't high right now. It was less than ten degrees.
Chen Zhao hurriedly went into the water and carried Gerlyn to the top of the internal alchemy, using his own body heat to warm her up.
"Baby, don't play in the water in the morning."
"Xiaoxiao, don't be scared." Gerlyn patted her chest.
Her face was slightly red. She was still full of energy.
However, Gerlyn was still too young. She wasn't even half a year old.
She was much healthier than other kids her age, but Chen Zhao still didn't want her to be too reckless.
She didn't know what was important, but Chen Zhao couldn't just ignore her.
Nevertheless, Gerlyn's body was really good. She could already swim from the shore to the center of the lake by herself.
Of course, she went with the flow most of the time.
Because the waterfall next to the house kept falling, the water kept flowing out.
Little Gerlyn relied more on her own buoyancy instead of swimming.
If she had to swim to the shore, she wouldn't be able to.
Of course, she didn't worry about not being able to reach the shore at home.
Apart from King Kong, all the other animals in the house could swim. Many of them were night owls and would be noisy at night.
So, no matter if Gerlyn went in during the day or at night, Chen Zhao didn't have to worry about anything happening.
After Fali finished breakfast, she also swam over.
At the same temperature, Chen Zhao wasn't worried about anything happening to her.
However, when Fali approached the center of the lake, he still went into the water and brought her to the top of the internal alchemy.
The family of three and the baby in Fali's stomach enjoyed the cool morning breeze.
The Inner Elixir kept releasing Spirit Qi. This was the Inner Elixir that Old Turtle had refined for thousands of years.
Its Spiritual Qi was so abundant that it was even purer and thousands of times more vast than Chen Zhao's own magic power.
Whether it was young Gerlyn or Fali, it was good for them to have more contact with the inner core.
While the family was enjoying the morning view of the lake, a car stopped in front of their house.
"Honey, it's Steven's car."
"What is this old man doing here so early in the morning? So annoying."
Chen Zhao swam to the shore and wiped his head. Steven walked over with a smile.
"Steven, what are you doing here instead of shooting a new movie?"
"They haven't even turned on yet." Steven rolled his eyes. "I really envy that family. They can enjoy such a good time. Get me some breakfast."
Chen Zhao brought a Chinese breakfast to Steven. "What are you doing here today?"
"James wants to shoot a promotional video and wants to borrow your place," Steven said.
"Why didn't he tell me himself?"
"My face is big," Steven said.
"What promotional video?"
"It's Baroness Zola's clothing brand. She hired James to shoot a promotional video."
"Fine. When is it shooting?"
Since it was Zola's business, Chen Zhao couldn't reject.
Even if he didn't count his relationship with Rasfa, Zola was quite close to him.
"Tomorrow."
"Sure. Tell James to contact me for the details."
Just then, Fali returned to the shore with young Gerlyn.
Fali returned to her room and changed before greeting Steven.
"Steven, are you eating lunch here?"
"Of course, unless Chen chases me away."
Chen Zhao looked at Steven with a dark expression. "Fali was just being polite. You should say that I'm busy and won't disturb you."
"F * ck, I don't care. Anyway, I'm staying for lunch," Steven said. "Famtis, go and bring my things in."
"What things?"
Steven didn't come empty-handed today. Famtis brought in a few big boxes.
Chen Zhao picked up a box. It contained a large packaged lobster.
Chen Zhao switched to another box. It contained a white truffle that weighed around 500 grams.
These were all high-end ingredients. For example, the white truffle in Chen Zhao's hands was worth at least ten thousand dollars.
"Don't eat the lobster, Fali. Anything else is fine. This is French foie gras. I don't need to explain its nutritional value. You know it better than me."
"Are you sure it won't lose its flavor with this packaging?"
"It's all vacuum-packed, so it won't lose its flavor. It's also produced within 36 hours. The supplier is a West Coast company."
"Is this company famous?" Chen Zhao asked curiously.
"West Coast is the most famous company for high-end ingredients in North America," Steven said. Steven said, "The West Coast Company doesn't sell in large quantities. They only buy and sell all kinds of high-grade ingredients in limited quantities. Now, there's one more item on their list of ingredients — your wine."
"They have a supply?"
"Of course they have their own channels. They're also asking about the source of the nameless wine."
"You're not here to lobby for them, are you?"
"Ha … They did ask me, but I'm not planning to lobby for them."
"How do they know you know the source of the wine?"
"I usually provide the nameless wine and Purple Brew at parties. After a while, they guessed that I know the source."
"You're really not here to lobby for them?"
"Of course. How much can they pay me? A few hundred thousand? And it's a few million. I can get hundreds of millions of dollars for any endorsement. Why would they want me to be their lobbyist? "
"Fine."
Chen Zhao didn't doubt Steven's influence and appeal at all.
Steven's name alone was worth a fortune.
As far as Chen Zhao knew, Steven's endorsement fee for a top-tier luxury car was 120 million dollars for three years.
That luxury car brand had to provide Steven with three luxury cars of that brand every year, all of which were worth millions or even tens of millions of dollars.
Steven just didn't take many endorsements. He only took this one.
If he needed money, he just had to spread the word that he was going to take an endorsement.
