A while later, the family woke up one after another.
Early in the morning, Portia came over.
"Portia, you're really early today." Chen Zhao glanced at Portia, who had rushed over. "You didn't eat breakfast, right? Come and eat with us. "
Portia didn't stand on ceremony. She sat down and started eating.
It wasn't her first time anyway.
"I don't think I told you to come so early yesterday?"
"I'm here for breakfast."
"…"
Everyone stared at Portia speechlessly.
Portia was very calm. "During the last interview, I maxed out my credit card to prepare the clothes for the interview."
"You don't have money on you?"
"I only have enough money for gas," Portia said calmly.
"Do you want me to lend you some?" Chen Zhao asked.
"No need. I plan to eat and drink at your place. I don't have any other expenses."
Portia was determined not to borrow money from Chen Zhao.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to pay back the money she owed.
To be honest, the cost of living in Los Angeles was really high.
Portia decided to grit her teeth and persevere.
"What about your water, electricity, and insurance?"
"The water and electricity stopped a long time ago," Portia said.
Unlike in China, even if one owed water and electricity, it could usually last for a few months. The water company and electricity bureau wouldn't necessarily cut off the water and electricity.
In America, if you owed water and electricity for a month, the electricity company and water company would make you go back to primitive society.
Chen Zhao couldn't imagine that kind of life.
However, he wouldn't pity Portia.
To put it bluntly, Portia was reaping what she had sown.
It was obvious just by looking at her crazy spending when she was in Japan.
Moreover, it wasn't the first time Portia maxed out her credit card for an audition.
Chen Zhao never approved of pursuing dreams without caring about anything.
To him, the prerequisite for pursuing dreams was to support oneself first.
"Portia, are you sure you don't want me to lend you money?"
"Boss, you sound like a demon. I won't lend you money again."
Chen Zhao didn't borrow money for free. He had to pay interest.
Portia's monthly interest on the money she owed him was seven to eight hundred dollars.
Of course, it was even scarier if the bank debt was included.
Although Chen Zhao gave Portia a high weekly salary, Portia's salary was very high.
However, with Portia's extravagant spending habits, she still couldn't make ends meet.
In fact, with Portia's salary, she would be considered a high-income person in any country or region in the world.
However, Portia still lived her life as a member of the Moonlight Clan.
However, this was also the consumption concept of most Americans.
Spend in advance, enjoy in advance.
The price was a huge debt.
Of course, Portia's spending couldn't compare to Chen Zhao's.
But no matter what he spent, it was all in cash.
Chen Zhao had a credit card, but he basically paid it on time.
All of Chen Zhao's expenses were within the amount of his bank account.
Of course, Chen Zhao would not criticize Portia.
Because they had different ideas.
Therefore, there was no right or wrong. It was the consumption concept that was nurtured by the environment of the two countries.
"Portia, help me make an appointment with Felwood Cisco. Ask him to come to Mingyue Villa."
"Oh, okay." Portia hurriedly wiped her mouth and stood up to call Felwood Cisco.
But there was no response. After a while, Portia looked at Chen Zhao awkwardly.
"Boss … Can you lend me $20 … I owe my phone bill."
Chen Zhao was speechless. He took out $100 in cash.
"Boss, I want to charge my phone bill. How do I top up if you give me cash?"
"Never mind." Chen Zhao helped Portia top up her phone bill with $100.
…
"Hello, Mr. Felwood. I'm Portia, Mr. Chen's assistant."
"Hello, Ms. Portia. How can I help you?"
"Mr. Chen asked you to come to Mingyue Villa today. Are you free?"
"I'm free, of course I'm free," Felwood accepted without any hesitation.
He did not care why Chen Zhao wanted to see him.
Even if Chen Zhao wanted to chat with him, Felwood would come.
Felwood came very quickly. Chen Zhao had not even eaten the table yet.
"Felwood, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, right? Come and eat with us. "
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Felwood had worked with Chen Zhao many times, so they were rather familiar.
At the table, Felwood Cisco asked, "Mr. Chen, may I know why you called me here?"
"I have a friend who wants your company to build a new house for him."
"It's my honor." Felwood was very happy.
Chen Zhao didn't just ask him to build his house.
He even introduced his friend to him.
This was a very valuable resource for him to build connections with.
"He'll be here soon. Wait a moment."
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry." Felwood nodded.
"Wait here for a moment. If you need anything, tell Portia. I need to do some morning exercise."
"Of course. Please help yourself."
Felwood Cisco was no stranger to this place.
After all, he'd built the house.
Felwood came to the front yard and saw Chen Zhao swimming in the sea.
The children, on the other hand, were playing without any worries.
This was the life of a rich person.
"Mr. Felwood, would you like something to drink?" Portia walked up and asked.
"I seem to have eaten too much for breakfast. Pour me a cup of black tea."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
A while later, Portia came over with the black tea.
"Thank you, Ms. Portia. Is that Mr. Chen's yacht? It's so beautiful. "
"The boss still thinks that it's small. He has another yacht that's being ordered. It cost more than 300 million dollars."
Felwood Cisco gasped. That was way too rich.
300 million dollars. It could probably be ranked among the top ten yachts in the world, right?
Although Felwood Cisco was considered a rich man,
However, most of his assets were in his company.
His engineering company was valued by the bank at around 200 million US dollars.
He had 60% of the shares, so his personal assets were more than 100 million.
However, his liquid funds were less than 5 million dollars. He didn't even have 1 million dollars in cash. He naturally couldn't spend as much as Chen Zhao.
Not to mention the Hydra and the unfinished super yacht.
The cars in the garage alone were probably worth more than 20 million dollars.
Felwood also knew that the house's AI butler system would cost tens of millions of dollars.
