This is one of the most famous beaches in Los Angeles, with a jetty that is said to have been built as early as 1908. The jetty has amusement parks and restaurants, as well as a bicycle path.
The nearby Third Avenue is a trendy commercial center with a huge pedestrian street and many well-known brands and unique shops. Visitors can come here to shop after sunbathing on the beach, not only to taste a variety of delicacies, but also to enjoy performances by street artists, adding a touch of vibrancy to their seaside trip.
Su was wearing loose beach shorts and flip-flops, lying shirtless on the beach sunbathing. Surrounded by beautiful women, singing and dancing, she attracted the attention of many men nearby, who were filled with envy.
It's been several days since I left New Orleans. Before leaving, I made sure Zoe and Misty were settled in, and I also cured Madison's heart leak, allowing her to do what she wanted most.
After leaving, Mr. Sue moved into the Cortez Hotel with his maid Kelly. He adapted to life in Los Angeles, got to know the hotel staff and his 'roommates', and while planning a joint event between the hotel and Yile Supermarket, he also visited several famous attractions in Los Angeles.
Most of the time, Kelly accompanied him. When going out to play, it's neither fun nor convenient to go alone. As his maid, she can't be completely ignorant and uninformed, so it's good for them to go out together, broaden their horizons, and have some fun.
Bree would occasionally come over. They met during the 'Black Friday' storyline, and naturally, she became a member of the fishpond, the kind that had already been eaten.
Although there wasn't much of a deep emotional bond, the wealthy Su family put her in charge of the Los Angeles Yile Supermarket. As it turned out, Bree was indeed very capable, building it from scratch and managing it very well!
Today, Bree and Kelly accompanied Mr. Su to Santa Monica Beach, but unfortunately, they had to leave halfway through due to other commitments. Only Kelly and the girls who had gathered around because they recognized Mr. Su were left on the beach to continue sunbathing and drinking with him.
The wine was brought specially before the trip, but unfortunately too many girls came to join in. Originally there were only three or five, but it gradually became seven or eight, then more than ten, and now Su has at least twenty or thirty people gathered around her.
Sue had Kelly buy a lot of wine from the restaurant next door. With the seaside, the beach, the fine wine, and a young, handsome, super-rich man, it was hard for the atmosphere not to be lively, especially with the music playing.
Whether they were simply there for the fun, to get a free drink, or even hoping to have something happen with Su, the scantily clad girls surrounding Su created a lively and bustling scene. Before they knew it, this place seemed to have become the center of Santa Monica Beach.
That's the advantage of being rich!
Santa Monica Beach is a famous seaside resort, where beautiful women from all over the country and even the world may appear.
Without money, you can only lie here and steal glances at the beautiful women nearby, but with money, you can lie here and openly admire the beautiful women who come to you, showing off their figures and exuding charm.
“This is life…” Su sat up and said to Kelly next to her with high spirits, “Once Lanai Island is built, I’m going to gather a bunch of beauties on the island and have a party for several days.”
Let them have fun, I'll just watch, hey, it's just for fun!
In a great mood, Su took Kelly's bag, reached inside, and took the opportunity to retrieve several stacks of cash from the alternate dimension. He stood up and, somewhat unrestrainedly, shouted loudly to the girls, "Get ready, call me daddy!"
The bright green US dollars flew through the air and scattered above the girls' heads.
In an instant, all the girls shouted excitedly and rushed forward, jumping up or lying down to grab the money.
Good guy, I just call it good guy!
That throw must have cost at least ten or twenty thousand US dollars, right?
Rich people really know how to have fun!
Su was also getting a little excited. Although he usually spent money lavishly and didn't treat it like money, this was the first time he had ever flaunted his wealth like this. He used to think that this kind of showing off was a bit silly, but now, seeing the girls jumping around and looking at him with burning eyes, Su could only say—it's so good!
With the girls being so cooperative, the Su family naturally decided to continue.
Besides, they have worked hard for their own happiness, so they deserve some benefits!
"Shh-"
Green US dollars were flying everywhere, and some people were already quietly approaching, hoping to snag a bargain.
Why enjoy it alone when you can share it with others? Su didn't care. This money-spending game made his heart beat faster, and the rewards from the increased heart rate were enough to make up for all the money he had spent.
In a total of 20 minutes, the money was scattered five times, amounting to $20,000. The entire Santa Monica Beach was in an uproar. After all, although there are many wealthy people who come here to play, Su is definitely the first to throw away $100,000 right away!
Before long, the entire Santa Monica Beach knew that the super-rich Mr. Su was vacationing here and had even thrown money at the crowd, a total of 100,000 US dollars!
The news of a super-rich man throwing money around spread like wildfire in a very short time. Many reporters rushed to the scene after receiving the news, and the news about the Su family became a hot topic on television and the internet.
By the time the reporters arrived at Santa Monica Beach, Sue and Kelly had already made their escape. Helpless, the reporters could only interview other people on the beach, especially some of the participants, to try to reconstruct the situation and obtain more sensational information.
On his way back to the Cortez Hotel, Su downloaded and opened a Facebook account, set up his profile, and then posted a group photo with the girls he had taken on his way back from Santa Monica Beach. Then... he located his position.
It would be a shame not to take advantage of such high traffic!
Sue's personal Facebook page features a photo of her throwing money on Santa Monica beach, and the location is listed as the Cortez Hotel. It's likely that those following this story will soon know that Sue is staying at the Cortez Hotel.
(Zhao's) reporters or girls will most likely come after hearing the news.
Of course, even if you come, you may not be able to see the Su family, but just by coming, you can increase the popularity of the hotel, and some of them will definitely choose to stay. After all, if a wealthy person like the Su family stays here, there will definitely be some people who blindly follow him, like fans or out of vanity!
Furthermore, the reporters' reports will certainly include the Cortez Hotel, which will significantly boost the hotel's popularity and profits.
By spending a mere 100,000 US dollars, not only did Su gain happiness and the girls on the beach benefit, but the hotel also gained fame and revenue. In the end, the reward was countless times the investment!

Chapter 504 The Cortez Hotel...is on fire!
The Cortez Hotel is a hit...
The Kotes Hotel, which originally had only average business and was probably unknown to most locals, attracted a large number of people after Sue's management.
Reporters with their cameras and microphones, curious tourists following the trend, flamboyant young women, and even Hollywood stars and local officials gathered at the hotel, each displaying their unique talents.
Iris at the front desk was stunned. Although the hotel's business had improved a lot recently due to its partnership with Yile Supermarket, this situation was just too exaggerated.
The once spacious and calm hotel lobby now felt absurdly crowded to her. Cameras, microphones, and crowds surged forward, and Iris's ears were ringing; she couldn't hear a word they were saying.
In the end, if Kelly hadn't stepped in as Sue's 'spokesperson' to control the situation, Iris might have fainted from the noise due to her high blood pressure.
Kelly didn't actually have any experience dealing with this situation, but she was Su's maid and was currently Su's 'representative', so her words might not have much value, or they might not be the 'content' they wanted, but they carried weight!
After barely managing to deal with the media seeking sensational stories and politicians with ulterior motives, Kelly ignored the curious tourists following the trend, as well as the scheming scheming women and celebrities, and simply turned around and entered the elevator to leave.
Regardless of whether there is a chance to meet the Su family, regardless of whether we can achieve our goal and gain benefits, we should at least create an opportunity and a suitable reason to meet them, right?
All the vacant rooms at the Cortez Hotel, even those that had barely been booked since its opening, were sold out in a very short time and all were occupied!
For the first time ever, the Cortez Hotel was fully booked!
Not to mention Iris and the other staff, even the ghosts who had lived there for a long time were dumbfounded. March, the builder of the hotel, and Elizabeth, the nominal owner and operator of the hotel, were completely speechless.
Are the differences between people really that big?
What kind of place is the Cortez Hotel?
The builder, March, was a deranged serial killer. He built the Cortez Hotel to satisfy his murderous urges, and countless people have died there over the years!
Otherwise, the Cortez Hotel wouldn't be so unique, like a living hell!
The owner, Elizabeth, was once March's wife and helped him commit murders. She later became a vampire and has harmed countless people inside and outside the hotel over the years under the name of the Countess.
In addition, the ghosts of those who died here occasionally appear in the hotel to scare people. Those who don't pay attention to the Cortez Hotel may not care, but anyone who knows a little about it or has heard some rumors knows that this place is not clean and strange!
Putting aside these supernatural aspects, there have been numerous cases and rumors of people disappearing from the Cortez Hotel or its guests over the years.
The results of it?
This hotel actually became famous because of a single photo taken by Su Shi, and it was completely booked...
This is just too much to accept!
It's not that I don't understand, it's just that the world is changing so fast!
In the room, after listening to Kelly's report, Su said to Elizabeth, who was still in a daze, without comment: "Traffic comes and goes quickly. In three to five days, at most a week, no one will care about this anymore. As a business operator, you only have two things to do now."
Elizabeth was stunned: "What?"
What do you think it should be?
"I...I don't know." Elizabeth thought for a long time, then shook her head blankly.
Su shook her head in disappointment. To put it bluntly, Elizabeth was just a love-struck person who liked a life of luxury. Even though she became a vampire and had endless life and experiences, she didn't become any smarter!
"First, you need to serve the current guests well. As long as they are satisfied with the hotel and its services, they will naturally become potential customers. The current guests are either tourists, journalists, Hollywood stars, or local political figures. Their satisfaction will directly affect the hotel's reputation and business."
Elizabeth nodded hastily: "I understand, I will give the order immediately."
"I will definitely give instructions, but... you are the nominal owner of the hotel, and you must do what you are supposed to do. You need to understand that you can manage the hotel, or someone else can. Managing the hotel is your duty and responsibility!"
Elizabeth's face instantly turned even paler than usual.
"Yes, Mr. Su, I will work even harder."
Su continued noncommittally, "Secondly, we should try to maintain the hotel's popularity. We can regularly invite celebrities to host banquets and parties. You can decide on the specifics yourself. If you don't know how, find someone who does to arrange it."
"Go out."
"Well, I'll head out now." Elizabeth stood up, bowed to Mrs. Su, and turned to leave the room.
"Sigh..." Su couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for the influence of the original work and Elizabeth's popularity and connections in the fashion and socialite circles, he would rather give her a sum of money regularly than let her manage the hotel business.
As for kicking her out?
The Su family hadn't thought of that.
After all, she was one of the hotel owners, and a main character in the TV series, even the female lead. Although Su Shi wasn't interested in her at all, raising her wasn't a big deal. It was just a way to pay for the nostalgia of the TV series. Anyway, the cost of raising her wasn't much different from raising a supernatural creature.
Moreover, although Elizabeth lacked business and management skills, she had looked after the hotel for nearly a hundred years without any problems, and she was also diligent and obedient to him. Even if she didn't do anything special, she still deserved credit for her hard work!
In the TV series, the Cortez Hotel belonged to her, so it was only right that she looked after it. But now the hotel belongs to her, and she is just managing it on behalf of the owner. Given her abilities, the fact that the hotel has been losing money for years without closing down or being taken over shows that she has truly put in a lot of effort.
only……
The Su family may not care about the business's success or failure, but it is still their own business. If there is no profit and no reputation, they will lose face if word gets out!
It's impossible to expect her to improve the hotel's business. Since there's nothing else to do lately, let's figure out how to make the hotel's business really recover. Once the situation stabilizes, even if she doesn't manage things, the business won't get worse in the short term!
……
PS: Just to clarify, Elizabeth was never written as a 'female lead' from the beginning. She was definitely not going to be taken in. However, she is a key point in the story, and the Cortez Hotel would feel like something was missing without her. So, she was just portrayed as a supporting character with a normal 'job' role.

Chapter 505 The Woman in the Red Dress: A Self-Recommended Aviation Consultant?
Elizabeth may not be a competent manager, but she is a perfect executor!
Following the ideas provided by Ms. Su, she planned and arranged a fashion show in just one day!
This show was organized by fashion designer Will Drake under his own name. Elizabeth rarely performed exceptionally well. By leveraging the popularity of Sue and the Cortez Hotel, she not only charged a high venue fee but also significantly elevated the scale of the fashion show originally planned by the other party!
The next day, evening.
