"Hi, Gaia."

Portia walked into Gaia's gym.

"This place of yours sure isn't small." Portia was touring Gaia's gym.

"What, you don't have work today?"

"I don't have anything to do today. If I don't have anything to do, I won't follow him."

"Do you want to get a gym card here?"

"Can you give it to me for free because of our relationship?"

"Actually, we're not that close." Gaia smiled at Portia.

In the end, Portia didn't get a gym card here.

She had plenty of time, but it wasn't fixed.

"Hello, are you Mr. Chen's assistant?"

"Yes, I am. May I know who you are?"

"I'm Felwood Cisco from a construction company. I'm sending you a document. Please pass it to Mr. Chen."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Portia looked at Gaia. "I have a job again."

"Okay. Remember to come here next time."

"If you're willing to give me a gym card for free, I'll be happy to come here."

Ever since Portia returned to L.A., she didn't dare to spend money casually anymore.

She did some calculations and realized that she'd spent at least $200,000 in Japan.

Apart from paying off her credit card, she also owed Chen Zhao a huge sum of $150,000.

Portia didn't dare to spend a single cent recklessly.

As for her current job, if she dared to do it carelessly …

Chen Zhao would probably make her corpse strewn on the streets tomorrow.

Portia opened the document.

It was a price list, a private airport construction evaluation report, and a budget.

Among them, there were four different specifications, all of which were design specifications for medium and small airports.

The cheapest of these four specifications cost 300 million USD, and the most expensive one cost 630 million USD.

Portia sucked in a breath of cold air. Her boss was way too rich.

Portia had heard Chen Zhao mention buying a private plane a few times before.

But buying a private plane and building a private airport were two different concepts.

Unless it was a giant in the sky, the cheapest one was only a few dozen million, while the expensive one was around a hundred million.

But a private airport was different. The cheapest one was already $300 million. Including the land, the price would double.

Portia went to Mingyue Villa and passed the document to Chen Zhao.

"Boss, this is a document from Felwood Cisco. Take a look."

"Okay, got it."

Chen Zhao was sparring with Fali, who was punching and kicking Chen Zhao.

This was the first time Portia had seen Fali fight.

In fact, Fali's body was already very outstanding.

However, because she was an ordinary person, the notification could not be raised too much.

Because there was no protection from magic power, if one's physique was increased too much, deformities would appear.

Even so, Fali's constitution was still four times that of a normal person.

After all, Chen Zhao would provide Fali with food from big dishes whenever he was at home.

The food wouldn't cause any changes to Fali's body structure.

However, this kind of influence was subtle.

This kind of change would quietly happen in Fali's body.

Fali preferred to fight with gloves. She didn't like direct contact with her fists.

That would leave calluses, and she didn't want her skin to become rough.

Plus, Chen Zhao's skin was really thick. If she didn't protect him, her hand would be badly hurt.

After a while, Fali finally stopped attacking.

"Portia, do you want to try?"

"Uh … I don't think so." Portia really wanted to try how it felt to beat the boss.

However, after thinking about it, she still gave up this tempting thought.

"It's fine. Come and try."

Portia looked at Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao shrugged. "Come on."

In the end, Portia still put on the gloves.

She didn't have any fighting foundation, so her punches were no different from a normal woman's.

"Your arms have to be level with your shoulders," Chen Zhao reminded. "Punch at a ninety degree angle and use the flexibility of your joints."

Portia tried again. She felt like she was punching a wall.

Chen Zhao covered his face with his arms. At the same time, he said, "You can try attacking from other angles. Your straight punches are too monotonous."

After ten minutes, Portia was so tired that she was covered in sweat.

"I can't, I can't anymore." Panting, Portia put her hands on her hips.

"Let's go swim at the beach." Fali pulled Portia away.

Portia was very envious of Fali's stamina and body.

There was almost no excess fat on Fali's body. Her muscles didn't bulge exaggeratedly.

However, she gave off a streamlined sense of beauty.

Although she was envious, Portia knew that she couldn't compare to Fali.

Fali could shop, work out, and even eat nutritious meals with relish.

She was someone who had to work hard for her life.

She also heard that Fali was going back to the Coastal Rescue Team.

It was still a job, but Fali's job was her interest.

Her job was to make a living.

In the evening, Fali asked Portia to stay for dinner before Portia left.

"Hey, Miss Portia, there's a small role tomorrow. You can come and try it."

The person who called Portia was from the Screen Actors Union. Although Portia was an amateur actress, she still registered with the union.

Actually, it was very simple to register as a member. You just had to have at least one role, even if you didn't even have a proper face. You just had to be willing to pay a thousand dollars a year.

Of course, there were benefits too. Members of the Screen Actors Union could enjoy some internal resources.

At the same time, they had a guaranteed salary.

However, being a member of the Screen Actors Union wasn't all good.

For example, the producers of some blockbusters didn't like to use small actors from the Screen Actors Union.

Because actors from the Screen Actors Union had to follow the rules, such as a guaranteed salary, working hours, and at least one second of close-up scenes.

Of course, with rules and a bottom line, it also meant that the actors from the Screen Actors Union were better than those who were pulled from the streets or became actors out of interest.

When Portia heard the news, she was overjoyed.

She already started to imagine what her new role would be like.

How long the close-up scenes would be, whether there would be any lines, whether it would be a big production, and so on.

In fact, it was this kind of dream and fantasy that supported most actors who weren't famous clenched their teeth and persevered.
