Chapter 7275
Steve Routhchild, long past his prime,
Casually remarked that a young man in his twenties was a close friend despite their age difference.
The weight of this seemingly simple statement left Robert and Rachel speechless.
Robert knew all too well the weight of Steve,
Now the legal heir.
Even his entire family combined couldn’t match the significance of Steve’s simple statement.
What extraordinary abilities did this young man named Andy Chen possess?
From his name, it was almost certain he was Chinese.
Even the wealthiest people in China were only worth a few hundred billion dollars,
Perhaps not even reaching that level.
The Routhchild family’s wealth empire, on the other hand, was worth trillions of dollars.
The difference was like heaven and earth.
Charlie, however, was quite generous,
Stepping forward and extending his hand to Robert with a smile:
“Robert, right?”
“I’ve heard Steve mention you.”
“I heard you’re quite famous at Stanford?”
Charlie’s casual remark startled Robert.
This was because he dared to address Steve Routhchild by his first name!
Leaving aside the fact that the latter is the second-in-command of the Routhchild family,
The age difference alone makes it inappropriate for a young man to address an elderly person by their first name so casually.
In Chinese parlance,
It’s like a twenty-year-old naturally addressing a sixty-year-old as Changhai, Shusheng, or Dayou –
Frankly, that’s somewhat impolite.
But Charlie didn’t care about any of that.
Not directly calling Steve “old man” was already a great courtesy,

On the contrary, he felt that Charlie addressing him by his first name showed a certain closeness.
From his perspective, Charlie was no longer just a friend despite the age gap.
He was like a father to him.
The more polite Charlie was to him,
The more uncomfortable he felt.
Seeing Robert frozen in shock,
Steve immediately stepped forward and sternly urged him,
“Robert, Andy is shaking your hand.”
“It’s incredibly impolite to just stand there like that!”
These words made Robert’s legs go weak.
At this moment, he dared not even guess who Charlie was.
He quickly reached out with both hands to shake Charlie’s single hand,
Saying nervously and apologetically,
“I’m sorry, Mr. Chen,”
“I was a little absent-minded just now.”
“I’m probably too tired from training today.”
“I hope you won’t mind.”
Charlie readily accepted Robert’s apology,
Smiling and saying, “It’s alright,”
“We’re all young, no need to be so polite.”
Then, Charlie looked at the person beside him who remained frozen in shock.
“Mr. Chen, let me introduce you.”
“This is my girlfriend, Rachel Getty.”
“She’s a descendant of the Miami Getty family.”
Rachel was completely unsure of the young man’s background,
Only feeling that he seemed to be the most important person in the room.
So she quickly extended her hands and bowed slightly to Charlie, saying,
“Hello, Mr. Chen,”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Charlie knew that Rachel definitely had Chinese ancestry,
But he deliberately teased her,
“Miss Getty, you’re too kind.”
“I think Miss Getty seems to have Asian ancestry.”
“Are you Japanese?”
“No, no,”
Rachel quickly waved her hand, blurting out,
“My maternal grandmother is 100% Chinese,”
“And my maternal grandfather is half Chinese.”
“Strictly speaking, in my generation, there’s still 37.5% Chinese blood in my body,”
“But because I look more like my mother,”
“My Chinese ancestry is more obvious.”
Charlie feigned surprise and laughed,
“Oh my, so you’re still one-third Chinese!”
“That’s great!”
After saying that, he turned to Steve and said in a tone of a leader instructing a subordinate,
“Steve, you must take good care of Miss Getty from now on.”
“Treat it like an important matter of course.”
Without saying a word, Steve immediately said respectfully,
“Mr. Chen, don’t worry, I definitely will!”
Robert completely lost control of his expression,
His mouth agape.
Rachel was also completely dumbfounded.
Charlie’s unintentional display of importance was growing heavier and heavier.
At first, it seemed like Steve valued him exceptionally much,
But now it was clear that it wasn’t just value,
But respect, even a bit of deference and obsequiousness.
