Chapter 255: Protect Yourself (Second Update, Continue to Ask for Votes~Thank You for Your Support~)
"Out of the closet?" Lin Zitan didn't have much information about Mike's two sons, and the information Frank gave him before only said that the eldest was an executive in Amanda's father's company, and the younger one didn't know anything or something.
"Yes, only a few people know about this kind of thing, you know that Julia has some friends who are designers, and she told me about it. Louis smiled mysteriously.
Speaking of Louis's girlfriend, that is, Julia, who used to rent the house with Louis, is a jeweler and Jewish, and was roommates with Elsa in her freshman year, and later rented a house together in Greenwich Village.
"It's more common in high society, and many states in the United States have publicly recognized the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Although the bill in New York State did not pass last year, there are still a large number of people mediating this matter, and it is only a matter of time before same-sex marriage is legalized in New York State!" Luis immediately explained, thinking that Lin Zi was homophobic.
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person, I just didn't expect it... Lin Zitan just didn't expect that one of Mike's sons would be G, and I don't know how Mike felt when he knew.
It is impossible to have this kind of extravagant party without women, but Lin Zitan and their party tonight are not allowed to bring female companions to participate, and after they came, Lin Zitan knew that all the women present were arranged by the local tycoon and rich for five generations, and were engaged in high-level services.
It didn't take long for some people to show their true colors as men, and they were dumbfounded by the scantily clad waiters who were hovering around.
"I'll go, will these people be too much?" Lin Zitan was a little embarrassed when he saw such a scene for the first time.
"Haha, you're thinking too much, I've taken you to so many parties, and one of them is so low-level?
You see who is doing it, but don't be complacent, there's surveillance everywhere here.
Although Eric loves to play, he never makes friends with anyone easily, and many of the people who came over this time were newcomers.
At least 50 percent of the people who attended his party last year were turned away, and you know why?" Louis laughs.
"Why?" Lin Zi wondered.
In addition to venting himself, the party he held was more about understanding the dynamics of New York's upper class, seeing who was on the rich list, and who was leading the fashion and public opinion in this circle.
As for those who misbehave, Eric will never invite them a second time. ”
Louis drank the last drop of red wine from his glass and placed it in the tray in the hands of the beautiful women who passed them.

Because the Internet company was busy with the listing of the company, each team was busy for a long time, and finally the partners decided to give the employees a good vacation first, and the real annual meeting waited until the Chinese New Year to celebrate together.
Recently, Lin Zi has been busy with his career and love, and he has not returned to Li Manrui's home on Long Island for a long time, but because of the arrival of Christmas and New Year's Day, Li Manrui has urged him to go home for dinner many times.
Lin Zitan received a call from Li Manrui again on his way home from the party, he was always perfunctory on weekdays, and this time he suddenly wanted to go back to meet Mike, so he agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zitan rubbed his eyebrows, his whole head was buzzing at the party at night, and he still had a headache!
"Kyle, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, you take a vacation, and go to work after New Year's Day. Lin Zi said to Kyle before getting out of the car.
"Then do you still have the sanda class you have made tomorrow?" In addition to Thanksgiving, foreigners are most concerned about Christmas and New Year's Day, and being able to stay with their families on these holidays is the happiest thing for them.
"It's good that I'll go to it myself, anyway, it's in Midtown, I'll just take a taxi back and forth!" Lin Zi delayed the coach for one-on-one classes, and when he made an appointment, he only paid attention to every Friday morning, and didn't care that this Friday was Christmas Eve.
"Why don't I introduce you to another brother, he's younger than me and has better energy, but he doesn't like to be full-time, and he can make up for it when I take a break,
I don't think one or two of you can handle you anymore, but you still have to pay more attention to safety!" Kyle laughed.
"Let's talk about it after the festival, I still need a gun urgently~" Lin Zitan gestured with his hand.
After Lin Zitan said goodbye to Kyle, he would always look around cautiously before entering his house through the back door.
Now, although Lin Guodong's problem makes him not have to worry about it for the time being, Amanda's side has always been a big problem for him.
In particular, he has been paying close attention to the dynamics over there recently, and protecting himself is the first thing he should pay attention to.
Since returning from China, Mr. Lin has insisted on taking sanda classes once a week, and has gone to a rifle control centre of the Supreme Court on Queen's Road to apply for a gun license.
Each state in the United States has different rules for the management of guns, but in New York, if you want to buy a gun, you must get approval from the FBI. In general, the application approval for citizens is a little faster, and the application for a green card is a little slower.
New York State has the strictest management of gun ownership for residents, and if you want to apply for a gun license, you must not have a criminal record, you must not have mental illness, your background must be clean, and the approval time is very long, basically it takes about a year from submitting an application to getting a gun license.
After submitting the application form, about three months or so, the police will notify the applicant to go for an interview, and if all goes well, about six months to get a target license and a gun purchase permit, at which point you can buy a pistol.
Crucially, New York State also has restrictions on the types of guns you can own, and there is a registration system for rifles or shotguns, so you can buy them at a gun store at any time as long as they are not prohibited by New York City.
In New York, all M16, M14, AK, SKS type rifles are illegal, only the Mini-14, Ruger 10/22, M1A, etc. are legal, so many New York City residents, even if they have guns, are this kind of long guns, not the kind of portable pistols.
Even if you have a gun license, you can only have a gun license at home, and you can only store the gun at home to ensure your own safety, all guns are not allowed to go out, even if you have a target license, you can only carry a gun "directly" to and from the shooting range, and the gun must be empty on the way, and it must be in a locked container.
So within the state boundaries of New York State, except for military personnel, law enforcement officers, and a few exceptions, it is a crime to hand a handgun into the hands of someone who does not have a handgun license.
Therefore, it is extremely unlikely that you can walk around in New York City with a gun, and if you are caught or the police suspect that you have a gun, you can be shot at any time.

Walking back to his nest, Lin Zitan felt a rare tranquility, although this house was small, it was his first real home after arriving in the United States.
He took a shower downstairs before walking over to his desk and sitting down.
Lin Zitan first turned on the computer, entered his stock account, looked at the constantly flashing numbers, and the sense of security and self-confidence in his heart became stronger and stronger with the growth of capital.
All of this is his accumulation bit by bit, no matter what kind of investment he makes, the only purpose is to make money, and the professor asked him to find what he likes, and he has the passion to fight for a lifelong career, which is also to make money.
Although he is now thousands of miles away from those so-called billionaires, his wealth is still increasing.
And the next thing he has to do is to protect himself and the wealth he has created, and find someone who is willing to share the joy of success with him and live an ordinary life with him.
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Zitan's mouth raised a slight arc of happiness, and the text message with Emma every night turned into a bedtime phone, he raised his hand to pick up the love madness 4 at hand, and dialed the phone to the woman who made him feel relieved and warm when he thought about it.
