Chapter 316 Six Hundred Million US Dollars
The reporters witnessed a turn of events, and although some suspected foul play, they dared not speak rashly without evidence.
Besides, since Bai Zhirou and the others dared to produce their divorce certificate, even if there was something fishy going on, it has probably already been dealt with by Sheng Tang Entertainment.
These reporters aren't ordinary people; they know a lot of inside information. They know what celebrities are like in private, including some past rumors about Hezhou.
However, Sheng Tang Entertainment resolved the issue quickly, and those unfounded rumors were brought under control immediately.
If it weren't for the fact that Hezhou's rivals acted too quickly, things wouldn't have escalated to this extent.
It can only be said that everyone will go to extremes for profit.
Sheng Tang Entertainment was able to rise to prominence by doing many similar things.
Otherwise, do you really think that a top-tier celebrity can be easily killed? It's just a matter of how much the enemy is willing to pay.
The press conference was quickly announced online, and the public stopped focusing on Bai Zhirou and Hezhou.
It's nothing more than Hezhou and Bai Zhirou's own fans feeling relieved and wishing their brother and sister happiness together.
Unless it clearly violates public order and good morals, the public will not look for moral benchmarks by targeting them.
Everyone seems to have forgotten about Bai Zhirou's husband, a man who never really had much of a presence. Apart from a brief mention by the media, no one seems to care about him anymore.
Wu Chang'en and his mother, Sun Yan, still came to the capital together.
Bai Zhirou's parents, Bai Wenzhang and Liu Jing, also called Wu Tao.
The elderly couple sincerely apologized to Wu Tao over the phone, saying that they had not raised their daughter well.
They weren't asking Wu Tao for forgiveness; they were just calling to apologize to him.
Wu Tao didn't say much; the other party must have already called Bai Zhirou beforehand.
This call was probably for peace of mind, since Wu Tao has always respected them and used to treat the two elders like his own parents.
Bai Wenzhang and Liu Jing, ultimately out of love for their daughter, and seeing that the situation was beyond repair, naturally wouldn't help Wu Tao punish Bai Zhirou.
This is normal; you can't expect the other party's parents to ignore their own daughter and instead side with you.
Wu Tao thought this was a good idea; he wouldn't feel guilty about accidentally hurting others when he sought revenge in the future.
He's not a coward like the original owner of this body; those who wronged him will get their comeuppance sooner or later.
Sun Yan, the mother, had thought her son, Wu Chang'en, would be devastated by what had happened. But when she saw him, she found that he seemed completely unconcerned.
Sun Yan, the mother, was afraid that her son Wu Chang'en was just pretending to be calm until she saw him sitting in the studio and painting freely.
"Son, your skills are getting better and better. Dad really likes your painting of raging waves."
"Yes, son, you're amazing! Mom is so proud of you!"
"Mom and Dad, you've seen it yourself, I've let it go. You've been here for several days now, and the family business needs you. You should go back now, I'm really fine."
Wu Chang'en and his mother, Sun Yan, exchanged a glance, confirming that their son had truly grown up.
They saw Bai Zhirou's infidelity online and were so angry that they almost went to Bai's house to fight her.
Later, fearing that something might happen to his son, he immediately set off for Beijing.
Now, a week later, they realize that they really don't need to worry about their son.
From the moment Bai Zhirou's infidelity was discovered, to their divorce proceedings, and then their son returning home, still quietly sitting in his studio painting.
He eats, drinks, and sleeps normally every day, and his son even gets up early every morning to exercise in the basement.
Forget about being sad, my son is even more in good spirits than he used to be at home.
"Okay, son, since you're alright, your parents will head back now. Don't worry, we'll find you an even better girl soon."
"Stop, Mom. I'll make my own decisions. Besides, having been through one marriage, I'm not going to rush into another one."
Sun Yan, Wu Chang'en's mother, wasn't surprised to hear Wu Tao say that. It suited her son's feelings; it seemed that although he said he didn't care, he still harbored a wound in his heart.
"Okay, son, it's up to you. Come home whenever you're unhappy outside."
"Okay, sure."
Wu Chang'en's mother, Sun Yan, gave him a long lecture until Wu Tao said with a bitter face that he remembered everything, and only then did she let her precious son go.
Wu Tao watched his parents' car leave from the doorway before turning back inside.
Wu Tao was actually quite embarrassed. He wasn't the real person, and he had just transmigrated and was already with the other person's parents. He was afraid that they would see through his disguise.
Fortunately, they were always worried about their son, so they weren't surprised even though Wu Tao had changed a bit.
After seeing off the original owner's parents, Wu Tao finally relaxed.
In the following days, Wu Tao also found excuses to dismiss the two housekeepers in the house.
He put the house up for sale again; it was the original owner's and Bai Zhirou's home.
Wu Tao felt disgusted living here and thought it would be more comfortable to move to another place.
Wu Tao packed some valuables and went to check into the hotel.
Two large suitcases were enough to pack everything; the rest would be taken care of.
Wu Tao then went to a real estate agency, first listing his house and then asking them to help him find another one.
Housing prices in Beijing have risen, and now it costs nearly 20,000 yuan per square meter.
The original villa was 240 square meters. In order to sell it as soon as possible, Wu Tao also gave a discount and sold it for 4.3 million yuan at 18,000 yuan per square meter.
Then the agent found Wu Tao another newly opened residential complex, Longteng Manor, which consists of twenty-four large villas.
Each villa occupies a total area of 2,000 square meters, with a single-story building area of 1,000 square meters, consisting of two floors above ground and one floor below ground.
Even after discounts, the total price is still 30 million. Add to that the subsequent renovations, appliances, furniture, etc., and it will be several million more.
Wu Tao even sold the car he originally bought and replaced almost everything with new ones, except for the painting equipment.
Wu Tao didn't have much savings to begin with, and the 50,000 yuan monthly living expenses his family received over the years were just enough.
In this divorce, Bai Zhirou left her 20 million yuan in savings to Wu Tao, plus 50 million yuan in compensation, for a total of 70 million yuan in cash.
The four million yuan from selling the villa was just enough to renovate the new house.
He spent 30 million yuan to buy a villa in Longteng Manor and still has 40 million yuan in cash savings.
Wu Tao directly bought shares in three companies, which happened to be during the early stages of the development of the Internet in China.
Wu Tao is very clear about the future of the Internet. Even if this were not Earth, he could analyze some external data to identify which companies have future potential.
No matter what he wants to do in the future, or even if he wants to give up, having enough money is the only way he can choose his future lifestyle.
In addition to the 40 million, Wu Tao also went abroad for a month.
When his parents asked, he said he was going on a field trip, but in reality he went abroad and sold the 10,000 gold bars he had brought with him from his personal space.
At this time, the international gold price had just reached a small peak, and 10,000 gold bars per kilogram brought Wu Tao a total of 600 million US dollars.
Wu Tao then registered an investment company abroad, still called Black Sky Capital.
