Chapter 6327
Steve Rothschild, now among the ranks of the elderly, declared that a young man in his twenties was his lifelong friend. The gravity of this statement left Robert and Rachel speechless in astonishment.
Robert understood better than anyone the significance of Steve’s words, as he had become the legal heir and carried considerable weight. Not even his entire family could match the gravity of what Steve had said. What remarkable talents did this young man, Andy Chen, possess?
Given his surname, it was highly likely that the young Asian before him was from China. The richest individual in China is worth around $100 billion, a figure that hasn’t even broken that threshold. In contrast, the wealth managed by the Rothschild family exceeds a staggering $1 trillion. The disparity between these two sums is immense.
Charlie felt quite pleased at that moment. He stepped forward and extended his hand to Robert, smiling as he said, “Robert, right? I heard Steve mention you. I understand you’re quite well-known at Stanford?”
Charlie’s casual demeanor startled Robert anew. This was because he dared to address Steve Rothschild by his first name! Not only is the latter the second-in-command of the Rothschild family, but the generational gap also made it surprising that a young man would so casually use the name of an elder.
In China, this would be akin to a twenty-year-old calling a sixty-year-old by their first name, a rather impolite action. But Charlie seemed unfazed by this at all. For him, it was an honor that the elder chose not to address Steve directly and Steve himself felt no discrepancy. In fact, he appreciated that Charlie used his first name, interpreting it as a sign of familiarity.
Seeing Robert still in shock, Steve stepped in and sternly urged, “Robert, Andy is waiting to shake hands with you. It’s quite rude to remain frozen like that!”
