It was past Christmas.
However, the streets were still immersed in the festive atmosphere.
Even some shopping malls, malls, and supermarkets hadn't opened yet.
If it was in China, most shopping malls wouldn't let go of such a business opportunity.
After walking around the streets, Chen Zhao realized that there was really nothing to look at.
Even the largest shopping street in the city was deserted.
This was completely different from China. If it was after the Spring Festival in China, the shopping malls would definitely be packed.
After walking around the city, Chen Zhao finally went to Hollywood.
Steven's studio was in Hollywood.
Chen Zhao went to Steven's studio.
Sure enough, Steven and his employees were busy working in their workrooms.
The employees were all too familiar with Chen Zhao.
So, no one stopped him when he came.
No one went to greet him.
They were all buried in their work.
"Hi, Steven."
Chen Zhao pushed open Steven's office door.
Steven was reading a document.
Seeing Chen Zhao enter, he put down the document.
"Aren't you going to stay home with Fali and the kids today?"
"I'm afraid you'll be lonely."
Chen Zhao didn't sit on a chair. He just sat on Steven's desk.
"When are you done? Let's go out for a drink."
"I'm not free. Oh, you drove here today, right?" Steven asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong? You want to remind me not to drive after drinking? Don't worry. I'll just have your people drive my car back. "
"No, give me the keys. I want to use your car."
"It's not like you don't have a car."
"I need to meet a client. My car is too shabby," Steven said.
"I drove a supercar. Does it suit your temperament?"
"Doesn't matter. It's fine as long as it's expensive."
"Fine." Chen Zhao slapped the keys on the desk. "You really don't want to go out for a drink?"
"Didn't you hear? I need to meet a client later."
"Fine. Set a time before coming out."
"I don't have time right now."
"Fine." Chen Zhao shrugged helplessly.
Chen Zhao didn't stay at Steven's place. He said goodbye and left.
As soon as he went downstairs, he saw an Asian woman taking selfies in front of his car.
"Hey, is this your car?"
The Asian woman turned to look at Chen Zhao. She sized him up and pouted, her face full of disdain. "Not yours anyway."
Chen Zhao was furious, but he really didn't have the car keys.
"From China?" Chen Zhao asked.
"You too. How long have you been out? He looks like he's going to turn into a fake foreigner soon. "
Chen Zhao couldn't continue the conversation with the woman, so he turned and left.
"Hey, wait, are you free?" The woman chased after him again.
"What for?"
The woman gave Chen Zhao a hundred-dollar bill. "Be my tour guide today and this is yours."
Chen Zhao looked at the money in his hand and put it away. Then, he turned around and left.
"Hey … wait a minute. What's wrong with you? You have no manners at all."
"Do you know you can't take photos here?" Chen Zhao asked matter-of-factly.
"Don't try to lie to me. This isn't a military base. Why can't I take pictures?" the woman said angrily.
"I didn't lie to you. Look at the sign. It says no photos."
The woman's face darkened and she glared at Chen Zhao even more angrily. "Do you think I don't know English? It says no parking."
She didn't care about the hundred dollars. She was angry at Chen Zhao's shamelessness and his attitude of treating her like a fool.
"Give me back the money, or I'll call the police."
"There's no surveillance here. Don't say anything, or I'll sue you for slander."
The woman was really stubborn, or maybe she was really angry at Chen Zhao.
She took out her phone and called the police.
Chen Zhao twitched his lips and turned to leave.
But the woman grabbed him directly. "Don't leave."
Chen Zhao turned his head and looked at the woman. "Let go. There's no one here. Don't force me to do anything bad to you."
"I'm an eighth-dan judo. Do you think I'm scared of you?"
At this moment, a police car stopped.
It was Chen Zhao's old acquaintance, Sharan, who got out.
"Who called the police?" Sharan's expression was businesslike.
She didn't want to be familiar with Chen Zhao at all.
"Hello, beautiful police lady. This lady has been pulling at me since just now. She wants me to give her a hundred dollars, or she'll say that I molested her." Chen Zhao was the one who complained first.
"No, it's not like that. He stole my hundred dollars," the woman said angrily in slightly rusty English.
Sharan looked at Chen Zhao, and then at the woman with a surprised expression.
"You mean, he stole your hundred dollars?"
"Yes." The woman nodded with certainty.
Sharan then looked at Chen Zhao. "What do you have to say?"
"You know me. How could I steal her money?"
The woman sneered, pointed to her mobile phone and said, "I have millions of people here who can testify for me. What you did just now has been broadcasted to my fans."
Chen Zhao's face suddenly turned livid. Damn, this woman was a streamer.
He hadn't realized why the woman had been holding a selfie stick.
In the end, she'd been broadcasting the whole time.
Also, from her tone, she was quite popular.
Seeing Chen Zhao's expression, Sharan immediately knew that he must have done it.
"Then come with me to the police station."
"Haha … Actually, I was joking with her. I didn't take the hundred dollars at all."
"Are you trying to argue again?" The woman sneered at Chen Zhao.
"Actually, I'm a magician," Chen Zhao said awkwardly. "That money is actually in your pocket. Feel it if you don't believe me."
"Do you think I'm stupid? Or that everyone in the broadcast room is stupid? "
"I'm telling the truth. Feel it if you don't believe me."
The woman touched her pocket and realized that there really was a ball of paper there.
She took it out and saw that it really was a hundred dollars.
"When did you put it in?"
"I told you, I'm a magician." Chen Zhao shrugged.
The woman tried hard to remember how she'd touched him.
He didn't seem to have touched her body at all.
Was he really a magician?
The comments on the woman's phone flew everywhere. There were all sorts of comments.
Just then, the woman saw an eye-catching comment. It was sent by a regular in her broadcast room. He was also the top of the donation list and had the nickname Handsome Taoist.
