"Boss, why did that woman want to see you?" After Demi left, Portia returned to Chen Zhao's side.
Judging from their conversation, it didn't seem like they were talking about anything serious.
However, when she saw Chen Zhao's smiling face, Portia suspected that Chen Zhao had earned money again.
She remembered that when Demi came to Chen Zhao for help last time, she offered him 20 million dollars.
At that time, Chen Zhao had accepted it unwillingly.
She didn't know that Chen Zhao must've earned a lot of money to be smiling so happily.
Chen Zhao whistled and lay down on the chair. "Portia, go get me some beer."
Portia moved a box of beer to Chen Zhao. "Boss, did you earn a lot of money again?"
"Yeah …"
"Then, on account of my hard work, will you give me a raise?"
Chen Zhao glanced at Portia. "Portia, you only see that I'm making money, but you don't see my expenses. My expenses are huge too, so don't think about getting a raise for the time being."
Portia cursed Chen Zhao in her heart.
The capitalist, the vampire.
Just then, Felwood Cisco called again.
It was time to check on the Mirror Lake villa again.
Felwood would call Chen Zhao two or three times a month.
Of course, Chen Zhao didn't go every time.
Felwood promised that he would do it before Christmas.
Chen Zhao's family could move to their new home at Mirror Lake.
Chen Zhao didn't force it though.
He kept saying that he wasn't in a hurry.
However, Felwood didn't stop working on Chen Zhao's project.
To him, Chen Zhao was a huge financial backer.
He'd even introduced Steven, a big client.
Technically, Felwood still had to give Chen Zhao a commission, but he didn't dare to.
He was afraid that Chen Zhao would think that he was insulting him.
After all, he couldn't afford to give too much.
If he gave too little, Chen Zhao wouldn't like it.
Therefore, Felwood Cisco worked overtime on Chen Zhao's project and added more materials.
"Kids, get changed. We'll go see how the new house is."
After Chen Zhao informed them, the children all changed into their outfits.
When Portia and Chen Zhao's family arrived, the new house at Mirror Lake was already finished.
The main project now was the renovation of the interior of the building, as well as the planting and transplanting of the external garden.
When he entered the villa, he saw that some of the rooms in the villa had already been completed, while others were still being renovated.
The number of workers in the construction site had decreased a lot, unlike the previous construction when there were as many as hundreds of people.
Mirror Lake's new home, in addition to the huge change in appearance, was also several times larger than before.
If it was the villa in the past, although the design was not bad, the building area was too small.
There were no more than five bedrooms, and the other messy rooms added up to a total of eleven or twelve rooms, including the number of bathrooms.
It was only when he was at the Bright Moon Villa that he was able to correct himself.
There were more than fifteen bedrooms in the Mingyue Villa.
Basically, every child would have a room.
Now, the new villa at Mirror Lake had more rooms, up to 30 rooms.
The main body of the building was U-shaped. Half of it was in the lake and the other half was on land.
Moreover, every bedroom faced both the forest and Mirror Lake, which were illuminated.
Chen Zhao was very satisfied with the design.
Just then, a car entered the construction site.
"Hi, Chen." Ken alighted from the car.
Chen Zhao walked up and gave Ken a hug. "Why are you here?"
"Dad heard that you're here," Ken said. "He invited you and your children to our house."
"Are you sure? I have a lot of children. "
"Don't worry," Ken said. "My yard is big enough, although it can't compare to yours."
"Okay." Chen Zhao nodded.
After inspecting the construction site, Chen Zhao brought the children to Bant's house.
"Mary." Chen Zhao went up and kissed her face. "Are you home today too?"
"Dell and Miss Fisher went out for two days," Mary said. "They'll be back tomorrow. I've been home these days."
"Children, come here. This is your Aunt Mary."
"Aunt Mary, hello." Didyla greeted Mary first.
"What a cute girl."
Mary and Bant both knew that Chen Zhao had adopted eight children.
"Aunt Mary, I'm already grown up," Didyla protested.
"Okay, forgive my rudeness, but you're a beautiful girl," Mary said, smiling. "Let me see … Is there one missing?"
Mary's gaze landed on Portia. "Is it her?"
"She's not my adopted child. She's my assistant."
Chen Zhao glanced at Portia. Portia was also speechless.
How did he look like a child?
"Where's Bant?"
"He went out to buy alcohol."
"I drove here. It's not convenient for me to drink."
"It's okay. I won't let Ken drink. I'll have him drive you later."
"Mom, you're too much."
"You're moving out soon. Your father and I paid for the down payment for your new house. Do you think you can go against my orders now?"
"Mom, Chen is still here. He has so many children. You should at least save some face for your son."
"If you have Chen's abilities, I won't say anything."
Mary and Bant had watched Chen Zhao grow up bit by bit.
From the very beginning, when he first arrived here, to now, when he was extremely wealthy.
However, Mary and Bant always kept a certain distance from Chen Zhao.
They were intimate but not pestered.
They would occasionally invite Chen Zhao's family over for a meal.
A while later, Bant returned and called Ken out to move the beer.
Chen Zhao also came out and looked at Bant.
"Bant, why did you grow a beard? It looks like you've changed a lot."
"I can't help it. In the brewery, I didn't look imposing at all, but after I grew a beard, the kids became much more obedient."
"Which disobedient kid is it? I'll throw him into the sea to feed the sharks."
"Come on, the brewery is yours, but how many times have you been to the brewery? Let me count. Once when production started, once when the executives interviewed, and once during the last meeting. You've only been there three times in total. You're too irresponsible as a boss. "
"This means that I trust the management of the brewery."
Actually, Bant also knew about Chen Zhao's agreement with Denver.
He was Chen Zhao's spy in the brewery. He was definitely one of Chen Zhao's people.
Even if he said otherwise, no one would believe him.
