Alex and Chen Zhao walked out of the restaurant.
"Speaking of which, do you want an IOU?" Alex glanced at Chen Zhao. "If it's just a check, I have ten thousand ways to go back on my word."
"The money on the check is Gerlyn's dowry. Can you bear to take it?"
"Shameless."
Alex glared at Chen Zhao.
She was Chen Zhao's and the brewery's legal advisor.
She'd clearly seen the brewery's accounts and Chen Zhao's bank account details.
She knew very well how much Chen Zhao earned each month.
The money he'd lent her was only one-twentieth of his monthly income.
She knew too well how much Chen Zhao could earn.
Even most of the world's top 500 might not be more profitable than Chen Zhao.
Even Chen Zhao's net worth was just below the top 500.
But Chen Zhao's net worth was real.
Many of the world's tycoons built their wealth by piling up their stocks.
When the stocks of their companies performed well in the stock market, their net worth would be high.
If their stocks performed poorly in the stock market, their net worth would be low.
It was common for billions of yuan to evaporate at the drop of a hat.
But Chen Zhao was different. His income was like a money printing machine.
Unless the dollar depreciated, Chen Zhao wouldn't lose money at all.
Alex even encouraged Chen Zhao to list their beer brand so that she could earn a fortune in the stock market.
But she knew that Chen Zhao wouldn't agree.
For Chen Zhao, if Dashan Beer went on the market.
Then his virtual net worth would skyrocket, perhaps by several times.
But in the long run, Chen Zhao would suffer a huge loss.
Why did those rich people who made a fortune in the stock market and property market like to invest in real estate?
Because real estate represented stable value.
Chen Zhao held absolute shares of Dashan Beer.
It was a super high-quality fixed asset.
The people who sold it were also people who had actual benefits with Chen Zhao.
If he listed it, he could indeed earn a fortune.
But he would lose the stable long-term dividends.
If there was a financial crisis or a stock market crash.
It wouldn't affect Chen Zhao.
This was the greatest value of real estate. Stability.
The two of them walked on the street, chatting about all sorts of things.
Just then, a woman walked toward Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao paused, and so did the woman.
The woman glanced at Alex beside Chen Zhao.
Then, he brushed past Chen Zhao without saying anything.
"Chen, I have to remind you that you have a family."
"What are you thinking? Don't fill in the blanks yourself, okay?" Chen Zhao rolled his eyes.
"You dare say that you have nothing to do with that woman?"
"It's related to Gerlyn and Fali's previous relationship," Chen Zhao said calmly.
"Oh, is it your ex-girlfriend in China?" Alex asked.
"Fali told you about this?" Chen Zhao was surprised.
Alex had been to the Bright Moon Villa twice.
The first time, he followed Chen Zhao stubbornly.
The other one was little Gerlyn's birthday party.
"No, Gerlyn told me," Alex said.
He really didn't expect to meet his first love here.
To be honest, Chen Zhao really had nothing to do with her.
If he hadn't suddenly met her on the main road today.
Chen Zhao's only impression of her was probably her name.
As for feelings? Bullsh * t feelings.
Time had long since diluted those feelings.
When they broke up, it felt like the world was collapsing and the world was ending.
But that feeling only lasted for two or three days.
Then it mostly recovered.
Not just her.
Even if Gerlyn was revived and stood before Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao couldn't get back together with Gerlyn.
"As your ex-girlfriend, you don't know she's in LA?"
"We haven't contacted each other for two years. Why would I know?"
"You really have nothing to do with her?"
"You don't have the right to ask me that, right? Fali's the one asking me, not you, "Chen Zhao said nonchalantly.
Chen Zhao said casually.
Chen Zhao's casualness.
Chen Zhao's casualness.
Indeed, it had nothing to do with their past relationship.
After all, when Chen Zhao saw the woman, he'd been surprised at the beginning.
Then, his attitude and personality hadn't changed.
It was enough to show that Chen Zhao had let go of her long ago.
…
Sun Min looked back at Chen Zhao's back.
She also didn't expect to meet Chen Zhao here.
She'd heard that Chen Zhao had left the country.
But she didn't expect him to be in LA.
In two years, Chen Zhao seemed to have changed a lot.
Just like Chen Zhao, Sun Min didn't have any feelings for him anymore.
Sun Min and Chen Zhao's breakup was a bit utilitarian.
But at least the two parted on good terms.
Neither of them made a big fuss.
Sun Min was also glad that she'd broken up with Chen Zhao.
After all, her career had improved by leaps and bounds after that.
Sun Min's trip to America was like a business trip.
This time, she was here to visit the most luxurious place in the world, Beverly Hills.
But after this trip, the luxury stores along the streets of Beverly Hills didn't seem like much.
They weren't livelier or more upscale than the other places she'd been to.
These kinds of famous brands and luxury stores could be found everywhere in the world.
Sun Min was somewhat disappointed.
But Sun Min hadn't been to the truly luxurious places in Beverly Hills.
They were the manors that the rich lived in.
The manors and villas of the rich were the places where poverty truly limited one's imagination.
The current Sun Min could be considered an elite at most.
She didn't even have the chance to see the real faces of those luxurious manors.
For example, Chen Zhao's Mingyue Villa was in Beverly Hills.
Many manors were located in locations that weren't worse than Mingyue Villa.
One-tenth of the world's super yachts were gathered in Beverly Hills.
Just thinking about this ratio, one would know how many rich people there were in Beverly Hills.
Sun Min visited a few luxury stores. After buying a few things, she lost interest.
The prices here weren't cheaper than other places.
The customers here weren't necessarily richer than other places either.
In fact, the customers who came to these luxury stores were mostly tourists from other places.
Most of them were like Sun Min, tourists from other places.
Sun Min's heart jumped. She took out her phone and looked through it.
Since she'd met Chen Zhao, she might as well ask him out for a meal.
But after a long time, she couldn't find Chen Zhao's number.
Sun Min pursed her lips. She seemed to have deleted his number long ago.
Oh, there was also the X group.
Let's see if he's still there.
She looked through the chats of her classmates but couldn't find Chen Zhao's message.
Chen Zhao's account was still in the group, but he seemed to have stopped spamming.
