Chapter 258: Living as a Character in a Book (5k)
The biggest difference between that ancient book and "I'm So Rich" is that after the protagonist gets part of the inheritance, he immediately tells everyone that he is rich.
It's just that because of the requirements of the will, he did not state that he must spend this part of the estate within a limited time.
And "I'm Too Rich", because he was afraid that Frank would use his identity as a guardian to take away the inheritance, the protagonist Carl chose to hide everything, but he secretly spent his money desperately.
In the first scene, Carl takes his ex-girlfriend, the mixed-race daughter of a black police officer, to a high-end restaurant for dinner in the hope of retrieving the woman.
Of course, considering the protagonist's experience, that kind of high-level is probably equivalent to going from the Bronx to Brooklyn.
Watching his ex-girlfriend change her mind in front of the "money ability", Carl fell in love with a restaurant waitress, an underage girl who was an illegal worker.
Those readers applauded in the comment area.
"Monica, I didn't expect that, did I?
"I tried so hard to keep you, but now I want to come back?fuck, get out of here and see God!"...
"These people really have a lot of grudges against their ex-girlfriends. Wang gradually took a sip of coffee and silently recorded it in his notebook.
Considering the attributes of his childhood sweetheart, and the fact that he would definitely dump this so-called "ex-girlfriend", he targeted Chris, a German girl who had a bit of a grudge.
As for the illegal immigrant waiter who looked down on the male protagonist at first, and later fell in love with the male protagonist, he can only look for it slowly.
"Wang, this is the recording equipment. Tom stuffed a small machine into Wang's jacket pocket.
"This man is a veteran paparazzi," he said, gesturing to a young man behind him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. The paparazzi stuffed a stack of bills into his backpack, "I can trust my professional skills, I'll take pictures of whatever you do." ”
"Last time Julia?? Roberts's photo was taken by me, and no one doubts that it was exposed as a street photo. ”
Wang gradually nodded and looked at Tom, "What about security?"
"With $200,000, Blackwater has agreed to provide security and not be noticed. ”
"From the moment you stepped out of the Flushing office building, you were under their protection. Tom handed over a contract.
Wang gradually glanced at the contract and put it in the drawer.
He took a deep breath, mentally building himself to become a character in the book, and then left the office quickly.
......
In the Bronx, downstairs from an alcoholic rehab mutual aid group.
Chris, a blonde girl, was looking left and right, waiting for her date to arrive.
She really didn't expect that the Asian boy who was bullied the most by her in her childhood boarding would actually come to her for a date.
Actually, Chris has no ill feelings towards Asians, but in that environment, he can only use this method to please his adoptive parents.
However, if she hadn't been in contact with the opposite sex for too long, and there would be spider webs growing there, she would still be embarrassed to date each other.
"Chris, come on!" encouraged Jill from his fellow addiction club.
"Chris, don't come back for the best tonight!" said a tall, lanky woman.
"Bonnie, Fuck you!" Chris held out his middle finger.
Belch...
This scene happened to be seen by Wang Gradually, "Didn't you say that Chris has quit drinking addiction and is much more mentally normal?"
He hesitated, then pushed the door open and walked down.
"Hi, Chris, long time no see. Wang gradually greeted the girl who was a few years older than himself.
"Wow, Wang, what have you done, you can afford to drive a Cadillac?" Chris looked surprised.
Well?
Wang gradually looked at each other and was stunned for a long time.
She really doesn't know?
Since the serialization of "I Realize I'm Too Rich", NBC's coverage of itself has increased to a new intensity?
Now the frequency of his own appearance on that TV station is second only to a few stars.
Ordinary people may not recognize themselves, but those who have contact with them should immediately associate with them.
"You... Don't watch TV?" Wang gradually asked.
"Ha, you're really rich. Chris smiled and looked at Wang Yan, "In the Bronx, apart from drug dealers, who else can buy a TV?"
Doesn't that mean that you don't have to be a billionaire in order to be closer to the characters in the book?
After thinking for a while, Wang gradually shook his head with a smile, "I'm just a driver, and I also work for others." ”
"And your suit?" asked Chris.
"Uh," Wang paused for a moment, "it's just an impostor, and it's very uncomfortable to wear." ”
He thought about it for a while, and felt that it was a bit too fake to "pretend to be slapped in the face" in an Armani suit, so he smiled and said, "You happen to be there, go buy a dress with me?"
Wang gradually tried to make a shy appearance, "You know, my aesthetics are a bit problematic, and I'm not good at dealing with girls. ”
"OK!" Chris smiled and nodded, walking over to the Cadillac.
"The doors are unlocked. Wang gradually said casually, and prepared to get into the car.
"Uh," Chris smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid I'll break it." ”
Wang gradually frowned, helplessly making the most gentlemanly move in his life.
"Fasten your seatbelts. He commanded and started the car.
"Where are you going? The second-hand store is on the left!" Chris exclaimed.
Secondhand?
Wang gradually thought about it for a while, and felt that he really couldn't be too wronged by himself, "I want to face you in the best state." ”
"Besides," he turned to Chris, "I'd like to give you a set of clothes, too." ”
Chris peeked at Wang gradually and felt that he seemed to be really handsome.
Moreover, unlike other men I have met, I still care about women very much.
"It's over, I don't think I have shaved my legs!" she exclaimed to herself.
At this time, there was a "squeak", and the car had stopped in front of the affordable clothing hypermarket.
"Let's go. The king gradually opened the car door and went down.
Chris followed behind Wang and began to think about the style of underwear he was wearing again.
"Hello sir. The waiter looked at the car outside the window, and then at the Armani king, and immediately surrounded him.
Sure enough, if you don't think it through, you can't "pretend to be slapped in the face" when you wear this outfit.
"A T-shirt and jeans," Wang said, looking at Chris again.
The waiter immediately asked flatteringly, "This young lady, do you want a skirt or pants?"
Belch...
So enthusiastic?
Chris is a little flattered, knowing the service attitude of the hypermarkets in the Bronx, but it is directly proportional to its price.
"Skirt," she thought about her legs, and then quickly changed her words, "or skinny jeans." ”
"Okay. The waiter smiled and led the two to the most expensive area of the store.
"Why is it so nice to them, we don't have anyone to deal with?" said a black girl.
"Come on," muttered the black boy, "it's a Cadillac." ”
"Ha, king. Chris smiled softly in Wang Yan's ear, "They think you're rich." ”
"Hmm. Wang gradually nodded with a smile, then picked up his clothes and walked into the fitting room.
He put on his jeans first and put the recording equipment in his pocket.
Then, Wang gradually took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Tom, "Find the worst-dressed programmer and drive a second-hand car to trade in a Cadillac!"
When he walked out of the fitting room, he saw that Chris had already changed his clothes and came out.
"How's it going, Wang?" said Chris, turning his body and slowly showing it.
"Well, that's good. Wang gradually replied perfunctorily while searching for the paparazzi's traces.
Suddenly, there was a taut thin leg and a round object, getting closer and closer to him.
Huh?
I really just want to "buy, buy, buy", and I really don't have any thoughts about you!
He hurriedly said, "I think it's very beautiful, why don't you buy a few more?"
Sure enough, he liked himself. Chris looked at the figure protruding from the tight clothes, and was a little excited: "The old lady is still attractive." ”
However, although the clothes were good, would they make the king think that she was a gold worshipper?
"Please bring out a few more clothes with the same number. Wang gradually said to the waiter.
Not only did he see the paparazzi just now, but he also heard a slight sound of "click" taking pictures.
Belch...
Chris thought about it for a moment and decided to take it.
"Big deal, serve each other well at night. ”
After that, she took a few more clothes one after another and showed them to Wang Yan.
It's just that...
The tightness of those clothes made Wang gradually feel a dull pain in his chest and buttocks.
"Okay, how much?" Wang gradually pulled out his credit card.
"A total of $2,000, sir. The waiter respectfully accepted the credit card.
Wang gradually nodded, about two days' wages for his three maids.
But Chris couldn't help but exclaim, "$2,000?
"I still don't want it!"
Please, it took so long and so many photos taken? Not even $2,000?
It is estimated that the bodyguards and paparazzi behind him will secretly laugh at themselves, right?
Wang gradually waved his hand in the demeanor of a domineering president, "Wrap it all up." ”
Chris looked at Wang gradually and then at the clothes on his hands.
Although I can serve him well, but... $2,000? You can't fly in bed, can you?
"Alright, let's go. Wang gradually saw a programmer with messy hair appearing at the door of the store.
Chris walked out of the store with a dizzy head, but he was already thinking about finding the best sisters in kung fu to learn the tricks.
"Ha," Wang gradually patted the programmer on the shoulder, "Why are you here, the boss asked you to pick up the car?"
"Pick up the car?" The programmer was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Yes, yes, I drove your car." ”
Wang gradually followed the programmer's finger and frowned.
Actually, it's a broken pickup truck?
But... It's a bit better than the all-new luxury Cadillac.
"Thank you boss for me!" Wang gritted his teeth, exchanged the car keys, and pulled Chris to the pickup.
But who knew that as soon as he got into the car, Chris slowly slid down from the co-pilot's seat.
"I'll go, what are you doing?" Wang gradually looked at the woman who was close between his legs, and almost screamed in shock.
"Don't all men like that?" Chris stroked his blonde hair, looking a matter of course.
"Or, like this?" she saw that the king was gradually refusing, so she took off her shoes and stretched out her feet.
This...
Wang gradually looked at the blonde girl, who was only 20 years old, with a reasonable expression on her face, and suddenly felt a little despicable.
"It doesn't need to be like this. Wang gradually shook his head and started the car, "Also, I'll buy you a TV, right?"
Chris wrinkled his small nose and said with a wary expression, "Do you know that Bonnie is back and wants to try something different?"
"Although we are mother and daughter, I still have to warn you, she is a madman!"
A different thing, mother and daughter?
Wang gradually braked sharply and almost rolled over on the side of the road.
"Come on!" he said speechlessly, "what the hell is going on in your head!"
"Also, aren't you an orphan, and if you have a mother, why would you go to a foster home?"
After that, he knew Chris's story.
It's probably a matter of an underage girl getting pregnant, drinking heavily, and abandoning her daughter.
And Chris experienced a similar thing with his mother because of his living environment.
"So, I've quit drinking. Chris shook his bracelet at Wang, "One hundred and eighty days." ”
"Hmm. Wang gradually smiled, "Then I will give you a TV as a gift for quitting alcohol." ”
"But the TV station is too expensive," Chris shook his head, "unless you go to the second-hand market." ”
Wang gradually thought about it and agreed, and under the guidance of Chris, he slowly drove into the second-hand electrical appliance market.
"That's all you have here?" he frowned and looked at his boss, "The biggest is only 19 inches, isn't there a bigger one?"
"There are bigger ones, but can you afford them?" said a middle-aged white man, sneering.
Finally...
Wang gradually glanced at the paparazzi behind him, "I can finally pretend to be forced to slap my face!"
"How much?" he asked calmly.
"300 dollars, smuggled from Japan. The boss said sarcastically, "Sony's 30-inch color TV." ”
Wang gradually calmly took out his credit card, "I bought it." ”
"Sorry, cash only. The boss didn't raise his head and said, "I don't know whose credit card I stole from, I don't want to get into trouble." ”
Cash?
Wang gradually touched his pocket...
"You wait for me!" he turned and walked towards the pickup truck.
"Cut, poor ghost. The boss muttered.
Chris stood aside and watched the passing, his expression a little embarrassed.
Even more embarrassing than her was that Wang gradually found that the nearest bank was also a two-hour drive away.
"shit! where is this slap in the face, it's like being slapped in the face!" Wang gradually wondered if he should get out of the car and pull Chris away.
At this time, he suddenly found an envelope in the car, which contained $5,000 in cash.
"Tom..."At this moment, Wang gradually almost burst into tears.
He pretended to be calm and stepped out of the car and walked over to the boss.
"$300, huh?" he pulled out a thousand dollars in cash.
Well?
The boss looked at the cash, then at the TV, and immediately changed his face.
"We have a 50-inch color TV here, and it only costs 800 dollars!"
Wang gradually turned around to facilitate the paparazzi to take pictures.
"Nothing bigger?"
"Uh," the boss stared at the cash in a daze, "that's the best of the Bronx." ”
"This young lady, imagine how pleasant it is for you to sit in the living room with your boyfriend and watch this big TV. ”
Wang gradually watched Chris fall into a fantasy and the photo was taken, so he happily paid.
The boss thinks he has grasped the crux of the problem, "This young lady, your boyfriend loves you so much." ”
After paying the deposit and agreeing on the delivery event, Wang gradually took Chris and left in the car.
"I'm sorry, King. Chris whispered, "For whatever reason, I shouldn't have done that to you as a kid." ”
But Wang gradually didn't have the heart to listen to her, his mind was full now, "According to the content of the book, it's time to go to the restaurant to slap your face." ”
"Chris, how about we go for Italian food?" Wang gradually thought about the information that Tom had gathered.
In this Italian restaurant, the waiter's attitude is the worst.
"Hmm. Chris replied softly, and fantasies about the future began to flow through his mind.
I finally found the right man and broke the curse I inherited from my mother.
Half an hour later, the Italian restaurant.
"I want the best and most expensive dish you have here!" said the king in a loud voice.
"Yes sir. The waiter said respectfully.
Damn, you have to taunt me, otherwise how can I slap my face?
Soon, several plates were served.
Chris took a bite and frowned.
She really didn't like the Italian taste.
"Let's go. Wang gradually threw the cash on the table and got up a little helplessly.
"Huh, he cares about me so much, he can only see it in one bite?"
"Let's go to the next one. Wang gradually said.
"Hmm. Chris had completely lost himself and followed closely behind Wang.
If anyone who knows her sees it, they won't believe that that bad girl will become like this.
Later, after going through three restaurants, Wang gradually still didn't find the target of the slap in the face.
"King, look no further. Chris blushed and said, "I'm actually very satisfied." ”
"The last one!" said Wang gradually gritted his teeth, "Let's go to Brooklyn!"
The restaurant was said to have a waitress who had an extremely bad attitude, and the information provided by Tom was highlighted.
"Brooklyn, that's a lot more expensive than the Bronx, isn't it?" Chris's eyes widened.
"Don't think about money!" Wang gradually gritted his teeth and said, "Just follow me." ”
Chris sat in the co-pilot, looked at Wang Yan's side face, and fell into a sluggish state.
"He's going to do whatever it takes to find a restaurant that suits my tastes?"
"Actually, just because the king attaches so much importance to me, I am willing to do it if he has no money. ”
An hour later, Wang gradually finally arrived at the last restaurant.
If it doesn't work here, let Tom go through the restaurant he experienced today!
Wang gradually gritted his teeth and said, "I want the most expensive food you have here!"
"Yo Yo Yo, this is a rich man!" said a black cashier in a weird way.
"Caroline, do you see if he's from Manhattan?"
"Ha," a blonde girl walked out of the back kitchen, "the people of Manhattan aren't so boring, coming to Brooklyn to pretend to be rich." ”
At this time, Chris couldn't tolerate others saying bad things about Wang gradually at all.
"Bitch, where are you from? Seems to know Manhattan well?"
"Hehe, I must know better than you. The blonde girl crossed her waist, "The menu all adds up, and it's only a few hundred dollars." ”
"The cheapest meal I've had in Manhattan is $4,000. ”
She looked at Wang gradually defiantly, "Do you have $4,000?"
, Wang gradually began to be ecstatic in his heart!
Tom, you've finally been reliable!
He calmly took out the envelope and threw the money directly on the table, "Here is 4,000 dollars." ”
"I'll ask everyone here to eat the money. ”
