Los Angeles.

City of Angels.

It's the heart of Vanity Fair and a neighbor of TerraPower's headquarters in San Francisco.

Chen An glanced at the gradually melting snow outside the window.

Spring is here, but that doesn't mean we have to stay cooped up on the farm forever.

If you want to build a business empire, money alone is not enough.

They also need fame, and the right to speak in the spotlight.

"go."

Chen An exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes filled with the excitement of a hunter discovering a new hunting ground.

"Tell Eileen I'll be there on time. And... I'll bring an 'auction item' that she can't refuse."

"in addition……"

Chen An looked at Ava on the screen.

"Clean up my office."

"I think it's necessary for me to personally inspect my new company."

"By the way, check... have you gained weight?"

Ava blushed slightly, but quickly regained her flirtatious expression.

"Don't worry, boss. My figure... has always been in great shape."

"Ready for inspection at any time."

……

Hang up the video call.

Chen An walked out of the study.

Downstairs in the living room, Sarah was teaching Jessica how to arrange flowers.

Although Jessica's arrangement looked like a messy pile of weeds.

"Get ready."

Chen An stood on the stairs and announced to the two women.

"We're going on a long vacation."

"Where to?" Jessica threw down the scissors and asked excitedly, "Monaco?!"

"No, let's go to Los Angeles first."

Chen An smiled.

"Go to Hollywood and walk the red carpet. While you're at it... go and completely complete our business empire in California."

From the snowfields of Montana to the sunny coast of California.

Flying from Montana to Los Angeles is more than just crossing a thousand miles.

It even traveled from the frozen wilderness to the dazzling and extravagant summer.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Private terminal at Los Angeles International Airport.

When the hatch opened, California's iconic landmark...

The sun, carrying the heat and the scent of the sea breeze, poured down without reservation.

"Wow...it's so hot!"

Jessica couldn't wait as soon as she stepped out of the plane.

I took off the heavy cashmere coat that I hadn't had time to change out of in Montana.

It revealed a silk camisole and denim shorts underneath.

Those long legs, nourished and pampered with milk baths throughout the winter, were dazzlingly white under the California sun.

Sarah followed closely behind.

She was dressed a little more conservatively, in an elegant beige long dress and a wide-brimmed sun hat.

The fullness and composure that comes with the passage of time make her look like a noblewoman on vacation in Europe.

Welcome to the City of Angels.

Chen An put on sunglasses and wore only a simple white linen shirt, with two buttons undone, revealing his well-defined chest muscles.

Below the gangway was a convoy of black Cadillac Escalades.

"Mr. Chen, I am the receptionist arranged by Miss Ava."

A young assistant in a sharp suit strode forward. "The hotel arrangements are all made."

"The presidential bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel."

"Where is Ava?" Chen An asked casually.

"Ava is currently at the San Francisco headquarters handling the final merger and acquisition documents."

"She will arrive in Los Angeles tomorrow night to join you for dinner."

"very good."

Chen An nodded and put his arms around the two women beside him.

"Let's go, let's go spend some money first."

"I heard someone wants to go on a shopping spree on that famous Rodeo Drive?"

Jessica cheered and jumped into the car.

……

Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills.

This is a mecca for global luxury goods, and a showcase for money and vanity.

Even in this place full of celebrities and the wealthy, Chen An and his entourage still attracted a lot of attention.

The main reason lies in that aura.

Chen An walked in the middle, his expression relaxed and casual. Sarah held his left arm, her demeanor gentle and poised.

Jessica, like an excited lark, clung to his right arm, radiating youthful energy.

Two burly bodyguards in black suits wearing headsets followed behind him.

They were all trusted confidants handpicked by Tie Tou.

She was carrying an empty bag that she had prepared before she even started shopping.

This guy looks like an oil prince or some mysterious Eastern tycoon who's here to buy goods.

"How about this one?"

In Chanel's VIP fitting room.

Jessica changed into a classic Chanel-style pink suit and twirled in front of the mirror.

"Wouldn't that seem too innocent?"

"A bit, actually." Chen An sat on the sofa, sipping the champagne that the waiter brought to him on his knees.

"You don't need to be too well-behaved here."

"You could try something a bit wilder."

He pointed to the runway piece worn by the model, which was almost entirely made of cutouts.

"But... that's a bit too revealing..." Jessica blushed slightly.

"Showing just the right amount of skin is art."

Chen An waved his hand dismissively, "Wrap it up. And those shoes over there, all three colors."

That's the appeal of Swipe Card Hero.

In just two hours, the bodyguards had accumulated so many bags that they couldn't carry them all.

From Hermès Birkin bags to Cartier bracelets to Jimmy Choo high heels.

Sarah and Jessica were armed from head to toe.

Sarah looked at the numbers on the pile of receipts and felt a chill run down her spine:

"Ann...did we buy too much? These hundreds of thousands of dollars could buy a tractor."

"In Montana we drove tractors. Here..."

Chen An helped her put on a wide-brimmed hat he had just bought, adorned with pearls. "What we're going to create is an aura."

Just then.

A group of paparazzi with long lenses and microphones suddenly swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.

They surged toward a haute couture dress shop across the street.

The flashbulbs were going off like crazy.

"Look! It's Irene! Irene Wayne!"

"Miss Eileen! I heard your new movie is aiming for an Oscar again?"

"Whose shop is that? Good heavens, she actually came to try on clothes herself?"

Through the glass window, you can see a tall, blonde woman with blue eyes standing inside the store.

She was dressed in ordinary casual clothes, but her aura as a top Hollywood star still made her stand out from the crowd.

It was the actress who sent the invitation, Erin Wayne.

She seemed to sense something, turned her head, and her gaze pierced through the crowd and glass, landing precisely on Chen An across the street.

Across the bustling street.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Eileen took off her sunglasses and gave Chen An a captivating smile that could make any man in the world stop his heartbeat.

Then, she actually pushed open the store door, ignored the frantic reporters, crossed the street, and walked towards Chen An.

"Snap, snap!"

The flashes went even more crazy.

All the cameras were focused on this scene.

"Long time no see, my farmer."

Eileen walked up to Chen An and naturally extended her hands.

She hugged him and even gave him a cheek kiss.

"I'm still wondering if you'll actually come to our appointment."
