Chen Zhao and Fali brought Robio to Mirror Lake. Robio took in a deep breath.

“It’s beautiful.”

“From this mountain, to this lake, and then the land here and the road outside. All these are mine,” Chen Zhao said proudly.

“Why did you buy such a large piece of land? I don’t think the land here is suitable for agriculture or grazing. It’s completely useless,” Robio remarked.

Chen Zhao’s face darkened. “I don’t want to hear such a depressing comment. I only want to hear something nice.”

“This place has a pleasant scenery and fresh air.”

“And then?”

“And then what?” Robio rolled his eyes and continued to walk forward. “Do you want to build your house here?”

“Yes.”

“This place is near the lake and there’s even a waterfall at the side, so the humidity is rather high. When building the house, you have to use moisture resistant materials, which also cost more,” Robio said. “Tell me your requirements.”

“Chen, I hope that our new house will be more modern. I don’t like those classic European styles. I’m firm about this.”

“Agreed. I also like modern designs,” Chen Zhao nodded.

“It’s great that the two of you have the same taste. I’m most scared of those families where every person has his or her own idea,” Robio said.

“Can we incorporate the waterfall somewhere?” Chen Zhao asked.

Robio shook his head. “Best not to. I’ve studied the environment here. When it rains, the waterfall becomes much larger. Also, the soil here is rather soft, which encourages debris flow. If you build your house under the waterfall, it’ll probably be buried at some point.”

“Alright. Forget about it then.”

Robio added, “However, if you really want to include the water somewhere, we can create an underground pond connected to the lake. We can use a ring of glass to separate the basement from the water and add some fish to the lake as an ornament.”

Chen Zhao’s and Fali’s eyes brightened. They had to admit that as a professional designer, Robio indeed had better ideas.

“I already have a preliminary concept. The main building will be round, with three floors above the ground and one floor in the basement. The side facing the lake will be built with fully tempered glass, slightly slanted to withstand any hurricane from that direction. This can ensure the safety of the structure…”

As Robio spoke, he drew a design diagram.

Of course, it was only a preliminary design. He still had to change it according to what Chen Zhao and Fali wanted.

“I want another floor in the basement. I need it for something.”

“Of course.”

Chen Zhao and Fali began to bring forward their requests. Robio kept changing the drawing.

“That should be all.”

“Great. When the diagram is finished, I’ll show it to you. Then, you can look at the rendering and I’ll also tell you the estimated cost of the house.”

“How long will that take?”

“Very soon.”

“How about the construction company? I don’t know any.”

“I can recommend you an engineering company. It’s owned by my ex-schoolmate.” Robio said.

“Alright.”

At noon, Robio stayed for lunch, after which he left.

Chen Zhao also went out to conduct Normans’ daily slimming session.

…

140 kilograms and 100 kilograms were two entirely different concepts!

Normans’ weight changed every day. Usually, the only thing that could achieve such an effect was liposuction.

However, liposuction was very harmful to the body, and it might not even be as effective as Chen Zhao’s slimming plan, because it would not drain all the fats at once. Instead, there would also be several sessions.

Maybe a person would have her first session on the belly. After resting for some period, she would have it again on the hips. A few sessions later, when the entire process was completed, her whole body would be filled with scars.

The biggest disadvantage of liposuction was that it could not be carried out on blood vessels. Fats would accumulate there too.

Despite being able to slim down, there would be greater problems.

Another method was to take weight loss pills.

However, this was actually even more harmful. Most weight loss pills on the market would either induce severe diarrhea, reduce the appetite, or destroy a person’s digestive system totally.

Many people developed anorexia because of them. In the end, they only looked withered.

Normans’ physical fitness had already improved significantly. Now, she could easily run two or three kilometers.

She could even swim two thousand meters. Normans realized that her body was in a perfect state.

In fact, she felt that if she could slim down for another 30 or 40 kilograms and reach her best state, she could even become a professional swimmer.

“Normans, after you finish the swim, remove your shirt. I need to perform acupuncture on you.”

“What?!” Normans immediately covered her chest with her hands. “Why didn’t I know that acupuncture can help in weight loss?”

Chen Zhao was speechless. “Before you even suspect me, can you look at yourself first? Do you think I’ll have any unclean thoughts about you?”

“Asshole!” Normans’ face flushed as she widened her eyes at Chen Zhao and gritted her teeth.

Actually, Chen Zhao planned to use acupuncture to increase the metabolism in Normans’ body.

Because her body was filled with fats, Chen Zhao had to carefully find the correct spots.

“Before dinner, have another 1km slow run. Your dinner is two eggs, an apple, and a glass of water.”

Normans had already stopped complaining. Instead, she would very seriously listen to Chen Zhao’s instructions on both exercising and eating.

Today, Normans lost about 2.5 kilograms of weight. It was already becoming very slow.

Fortunately, however, she had managed to go below 100 kilograms.

“Asshole, the fats in my arms hasn’t reduced at all. Do you need to revise my training schedule?”

“Yup, I’ve noticed it. I’ll make some changes tomorrow.”

Then, Chen Zhao went to Steven’s house. He had promised Steven that he would be his private doctor and health consultant.

As a result, Chen Zhao had to perform a monthly check-up on Steven. Although Steven was a very famous director in Hollywood, his house was not that luxurious. It was also in Beverly Hills, but it was not as deluxe as Rasfa’s house.

He was single at the moment, having divorced three times already. There were only a few servants there.

Steven’s body was in good condition and he also seemed to be in a good mood. After the check-up, he asked Chen Zhao to stay for dinner.

Chen Zhao agreed. He did not mind eating here first and then eating again when he got home.
