Peggy's apartment.

After Linda asked about some security details, she walked out of the bedroom with a very unsightly face.

But the daughter's expression is too natural.

So much so that she didn't have much to say, so she could only glare at Adam a few times after she came out.

"Ms. Watson, I've already booked dinner for Lisa, will we have dinner together?"

Adam smiled and invited.

"No appetite. ”

Linda frowned in disgust: "David, let's go!"

"I'm a little hungry. ”

David and Adam had a good conversation, and besides, Adam and Peggy were also a match made in heaven in his opinion, and he didn't want his lover and Adam to be frozen all the time, so he and Peggy were caught in the middle and were in a dilemma, so they played a round.

"It's better to eat some together, save waste." ”

Linda was angry, but she could only helplessly stay with her lover's eyes.

Middle-aged love, in the end, is not as arrogant as the first love of adolescence, knows compromise and thoughtfulness.

In front of her juniors, especially her daughter Peggy, Linda pays attention to saving face for David.

"Lisa is the assistant you gave Peggy, let her dine with her. ”

After Linda reluctantly accepted such a confused account, she had the heart to investigate this Lisa who replaced her in disguise.

"Okay. ”

Naturally, Adam didn't say a word and called Lisa to inform him.

Then the scene fell silent again.

Peggy ignored the three of them and sat back at her desk, busy with her own business.

Linda thought of the conversation with her daughter, and didn't want to speak.

"Adam, I heard you're a writer?"

David broke the silence again.

"Part-time writer. ”

Adam knew David's kindness and said with a smile: "After graduating from high school, I started writing, mainly to achieve financial freedom, my goal has always been clear, to be a doctor who cures diseases and saves people, and now I am working as a surgical intern at New York Medical Center." ”

"New York Medical Center?"

David was surprised: "The New York train derailment tragedy reported on TV all over the world today, and the injured seem to be sent to the New York Medical Center?"

"Yes. ”

Adam nodded: "Originally, we had been on the shift for more than ten hours, and I was driving to Peggy in the early hours of the morning......"

"You come every night?"

Linda interrupted in shock: "Peggy is still young, how can you?!"

Obviously, in the process of passing on the safety knowledge of mother and daughter, Linda has some indescribable inside information, and is deeply worried about Adam coming over every night.

If everything is too much, so is happiness!

"It's not. ”

Adam hurriedly explained: "The interns are too busy, how can I have time to come over every day, just come here every Sunday, and I have an academic paper collaboration with Peggy these days, so I sacrificed my rest time and rushed over overnight." ”

"Academic paper collaboration?"

Linda's face softened slightly.

Adam goes through the ins and outs of the Duncan-Adler formula.

"That's right. ”

Linda's face looked much better.

It turns out that his daughter has also given a lot of returns, so it seems that the two sides are indeed equal.

"You were going to come here in the wee hours of the morning, and then you got the news that the train had derailed?"

David smiled and brought the conversation back.

"Yes. ”

Adam nodded: "When the hospital got the news, it recruited all of us back as soon as possible, mobilized all of us, and welcomed batch after batch of accident injuries, and then we were busy until nine o'clock, and we didn't have time to eat." ”

"It's really not easy to be a doctor. ”

David sighed.

"Definitely. ”

Adam said: "I have more energy, but fortunately, my colleagues, after forty hours of hurrying, when they rested, regardless of the blood and stains on their bodies, they fell asleep directly in the duty room, and some were even so sleepy that they didn't want to move, and fell asleep directly on the push bed in the corridor." ”

"In that case, why do you have to be a doctor?"

Linda was puzzled: "You are so rich and you can write very well, why don't you become a professional writer who is famous, profitable and free?"

“......”

The corners of Adam's mouth twitched.

Linda's words, if you add that Adam is good-looking and gentle, she simply sees Adam as a Duncan official.

"Doctors can cure and save people. ”

Adam said righteously: "Today I saved nine acute illnesses, six serious cases, and I am even happier than when I earned the first billions of dollars! This is my life's pursuit, just like Peggy's dedication to mathematical science." ”

After the event, the intensive reminder of the system is +0.01*9+0.005*6=0.12 years (43.8 days), which consumes only 0.8 days, and the balance is net to increase life by 43 days.

It is so pleasing and fascinating to have such a large increase in lifespan!

But outsiders don't know this.

David: "......"

Linda: "......"

Both were speechless.

Even if David admired Adam again, he inexplicably suspected that Adam was pretending to be forced at this moment.

Linda was not only impressed by the consistency of Adam and Peggy's career pursuits, but also shocked by what Adam called 'the first billion-dollar knife'.

"How much money did you have?"

"Huh. ”

Adam smiled reservedly: "Money to a certain extent, it's just a bunch of numbers, it doesn't make any sense, I don't care about this, so I don't know the specific numbers." ”

“......”

The corners of David's mouth twitched.

He could now be sure that Adam was pretending.

But in this situation, it makes sense for Adam to want to behave in front of Peggy's mother.

He didn't say anything.

"Is writing a book so profitable?"

Linda believed it and was shocked.

"It's okay. ”

Adam explained: "At the beginning, the first billions of dollars were indeed the bulk of the money earned by writing books, but most of the back was a capital game where money was made, and what was important was the thickness of capital and the accuracy of vision. ”

"You ......"

Linda glanced at David hesitantly.

She knew that David was now starting a business and lacked capital.

If someone injects capital, the road to entrepreneurship will be much easier and smoother.

But she had just reminded Peggy not to have any financial interests with Adam......

David understood, and immediately shook his head gently, his eyes firm.

The reason why he started his business was that he didn't want to be tied down.

He believes in his abilities and enjoys the process of starting a business.

Besides, he really loves Linda, and then cares about Peggy very much, and naturally understands the necessity of equal interaction between men and women without economic entanglements.

He didn't want Linda to ask Adam for an investment for him.

Adam also noticed the change in their eyes and understood their thoughts, so he pretended not to know.

"I actually like to read too. ”

David smiled and digressed the subject: "My favorite author is Jane Austen." ”

"The author of Pride and Prejudice. ”

Adam nodded: "She wrote a famous book, which has been disseminated around the world for more than 100 years, and her influence is indeed very great." ”

"Yes. ”

David laughed, "But I prefer her other article Emma to the pride and prejudice that has been widely circulated." ”

"Emma ......"

Adam was stunned and glanced at Linda Watson, his expression a little strange.
