"Chen, give them to me. I'll give you both daughters. I love them so much." Winnip hugged Princess' head and kept rubbing it.
"Mom, I won't say anymore," Faur said unhappily. "Am I that cheap?"
It was rare for Winnip to be playful, but her mood today was really like a roller coaster.
When she found out that her supermarket had been poisoned, she felt like she'd fallen into an abyss.
Who would've thought that the plot would develop so dramatically?
Not only was Mara's supermarket fine, but it also gained a lot of attention from the media.
"You can talk to them yourself. Whoever wants to stay can stay."
Winnip was speechless. That was a direct rejection.
Of course, she didn't think that Chen Zhao would agree to her request.
It was just a joke. There was no way Chen Zhao would agree to it.
"Fine, I know it's impossible, but you have to lend them to me for a few days. Half of the people who come to the supermarket now are here for them."
Ring —
Chen Zhao's phone rang. "Hey, Rasfa, what's up?"
"You're in Sacramento, right?"
"How do you know?"
"Your whole family was exposed in the media and you're asking me how I know?"
"You saw the news too?"
"I don't usually watch this kind of news, but my company's copyright department had a meeting and I hosted it. Our people evaluated and felt that what happened to your family today is very marketable. If it's adapted into a movie, it'll have a lot of potential."
"You want to buy the copyright again?"
"Yes. How about it? Sell it to me."
"Your company bought the copyright for the previous movie. It hasn't started filming yet, right?"
"There's no conflict."
"What's the price?"
"Fixed price, 500,000 USD."
Chen Zhao thought about it. "The price is fine, but I hope that the name Mara's supermarket can be used in the script."
"What's your relationship with this supermarket?"
"It's Fali's mother's supermarket."
"Sure," Rasfa agreed without hesitation.
Usually, this kind of product placement had to be paid. It could be millions or even tens of millions.
However, since it was a business related to someone close to Chen Zhao, Rasfa did not mind doing him a favor.
After talking with Rasfa, Chen Zhao told Winnip about the situation.
After all, if this incident could be made into a movie, it would be very beneficial to her supermarket.
When Winnip heard that a movie company wanted to buy the copyright of today's event and might make it into a movie, she was immediately interested and asked Chen Zhao about it.
However, Chen Zhao couldn't give an accurate answer. After all, it wasn't up to him to decide whether the movie would be made or not.
Sometimes, a film company would buy the copyright not to make a movie, but to prevent competitors from getting the copyright.
Chen Zhao estimated that PLM wouldn't start this project within half a year.
"By the way, did you catch Russville who hired the poisoner?" Chen Zhao asked.
Winnip smiled. It was the first time Chen Zhao had seen her smile so coldly.
"The police will probably never find him."
Chen Zhao didn't continue asking. It was better to keep some things to himself forever.
…
On the fourth day after the incident, Kane returned home. Karim and Howard followed him home.
Kane's problem wasn't big anymore. Apart from being a bit weak, there weren't many problems.
If there was a problem, it was that he was bald now.
Kane was about to cry because Princess kept coming over to touch his head every now and then.
"Stop touching my head. I feel like my skull is moving."
"Stop licking. I can feel your saliva seeping into my wound."
"Chen, are you sure Raymond doesn't want to hibernate on my head?"
Chen Zhao glanced at Kane. He had no choice. When he'd treated Kane, he'd used the perfect potion.
The potion was still in Kane's head, so Princess and the others were being polite not to open his head again.
"I'm so bored. Let's go fishing," Laurent suggested.
"No," Chen Zhao rejected directly.
Anyway, he'd made up his mind not to go out with Laurent again. He wouldn't go out even if he died.
Who knew if Laurent was trying to trick him again. Laurent glanced at Chen Zhao. "I didn't plan on asking you to go either. Kane, Karim, Howard, let's go."
…
Laurent brought the three bodyguards to the river to fish. Fali and Faur went shopping again.
Winnip brought the pets to the supermarket. Because Princess and the other pets were very popular, Mara Supermarket had a lot more customers recently.
No one would've thought that a few pets could double Mara Supermarket's customers.
Chen Zhao was alone at home, but he didn't stay idle.
His new home at Mirror Lake was being renovated, so there were many things that needed to be communicated with him.
Bant and Felwood had to communicate with him most of the time. The butler system had been installed. They also had to discuss with him when installing some furniture, in case they had to modify it after installation. That would be more troublesome.
"Mr. Chen, I think this wall should be painted with color. Although the overall color is mainly white, if it is completely pure white, it will be too monotonous. This wall can add a landscape painting to add some color. At the same time, it will echo the lake view outside the French window on the opposite side."
"Okay, but I don't want something too colorful."
"Also, are you sure you don't need to decorate the second basement?"
"There's no need for that. The second floor of the basement doesn't need any style. Just paint the walls."
Chen Zhao thought for a moment. "Oh, go to the first basement. I want to see how it feels overall."
Felwood took the elevator down to the first basement. He turned on the video call and showed the renovated basement to Chen Zhao.
"Start from the bottom of the stairs and extend all the way to the French window. Don't decorate there other than painting the walls. I'll put a large artwork there."
"Okay, I understand. Can you tell me what it is?"
"Skeleton model. I'll find a Hollywood master to make a monster skeleton model."
"Then I'll paint the walls dark. Is that okay?"
"Yes."
"Also, help me test the housekeeping system. Notify me if there are any problems."
"Okay."
Chen Zhao was probably the most satisfied with the first basement.
The curved French window was 12 meters long and three meters wide. One could see the lake bottom directly.
