127 Ugly but True (Last Moment, Please Order First~)
Lin Zitan saw that Xiao Cheng's heart was like this, and immediately felt that he had been deceived by this senior brother who pretended to be serious all day long, although the price had changed from 50,000 US dollars to 50,000 RMB, but Lin Zitan still had a kind of gap in his heart of being played by a monkey.
"Xiao Cheng, stop for me. Lin Zitan opened his long legs, caught up with Xiao Cheng in three or five steps, reached out and grabbed the computer bag he was carrying cross-body, Xiao Cheng's body that ran forward was immediately pulled backwards by him.
"Alas, what are you doing?" Xiao Cheng glared at Lin Zitan dissatisfiedly, but unfortunately the small eyes behind the glasses were vague and couldn't be ruthless.
"To make up for the damage I have suffered, you have to treat me to dinner tonight, to the Korean food I had last time. Lin Zitan said, let go of his hand, and walked towards the food street outside the school.
"Hey~ Lin Zitan, why don't you speak?
Sitting in the Korean restaurant where the two of them went last time, Lin Zi sat there with a heavy heart after ordering the meal, as if he had no desire to chat at all, Xiao Cheng secretly glanced at him a few times, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Tell me why you lied to me, and I won't be angry. Lin Zi pursed his lips and said unhappily.
When Lin Zitan was with Zhang Jing, he was more mature than Zhang Jing most of the time, but when he was with Xiao Cheng, he always had the illusion that Xiao Cheng was a big brother.
It's a bit like the sense of worship for the tyrant of Tsinghua North University when he didn't study, plus he is a computer student, for him, a person who only knows the basic operation of computers, he also has a heartfelt sense of envy and admiration for those who study this major.
"Alas~ It's hard to say!" Although he said that, Xiao Cheng had known Lin Zitan for so long, and also found that this person was a friend worth dating.
At the beginning, Xiao Cheng was ready to blackmail Lin Zi for 50,000 US dollars, after all, when the two talked at that time, they did not mention which currency to pay in, because they were both in the United States, and the first option was of course US dollars.
But Xiao Cheng also knew that Lin Zitan's company was a partnership, and Lin Zitan must have been entangled in the price for several days before the meeting, but because he promised Xiao Cheng, even if Zhang Jing was dissatisfied, he didn't call him to negotiate the price. I didn't even take the initiative to mention it when we met again.
From this point of view, Xiao Cheng believes that if he bites to death that day and says that it is 50,000 US dollars, Lin Zitan will probably let him continue to do it with tears, and if he can't convince Zhang Jing, maybe he may even do something out of his own pocket!
Some people may think that this person is a little stupid, but this is actually a basic quality that people who do business must have:
From Lin Zitan's body, Xiao Cheng can vaguely see the shadow of this integrity, even if they have not really worked together!
"Originally, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and my brother will not treat you as an outsider. You know that my uncle's family is here, but the interpersonal relationship in my uncle's family is too complicated.
My uncle smuggled to the United States more than ten years ago, and he came alone, and when he first arrived, he also started as a dishwasher in a restaurant, and slowly began to learn to be a sushi chef.
When the uncle was working, he met a female company, a northerner, with a little English, so the two single people in the United States slowly came together, and at first it was just a group for warmth.
Later, with the help of women's spoken language. The two contracted a small shop in a community college cafeteria, started by selling hand-made sushi, saved money little by little, and then went to a hotel in another state to contract a seat to sell sushi and teppanyaki, and slowly, little by little, it became a Japanese food teppanyaki restaurant.
But what about my uncle, the purpose of coming out is to make money, and then work hard to adjust his identity, looking forward to one day bringing his wife and children in China to the United States, but he feels sorry for this woman who accompanies him to work hard.
Therefore, every business invested in the future, including the freight company, gave this woman a 10% share. It wasn't until the first half of the year that my aunt and cousins finally immigrated over, and as you know, I came early, so I knew about the relationship between my uncle and that woman as soon as I came.
But in order to survive, I don't dare to report it to my aunt, who knew everything within a few days of arriving in the United States, but she couldn't speak English or drive, and she was always lacking in confidence in front of that woman, and I was uneasy, so I became cannon fodder... ”
In the past, there were only the two of them, and Xiao Cheng's tuition and accommodation fees were given by the uncle, but now that the aunt is here, every penny and dime is strictly controlled, and even makes a lot of noise, so as not to let Xiao Cheng go home to live, so as not to waste so tens of thousands of accommodation fees.
"Uh, you aunt, what do you say... Lin Zitan listened to Xiao Cheng's words, and felt helpless for him in his heart. Lin Zitan has seen a lot of this kind of thing in his previous life.
Because one of the men and women who came to the United States first, in addition to being normal immigrants, most of them have to save money to find a lawyer to apply for status, and it will take at least three years, five years, ten or eight years to get a green card.
After applying for a green card, you can apply for your family again, and the application process will take another two or three years, and you can reunite with a family in China, at least it will take ten years, but how to solve personal problems? This has led to many situations like Uncle Xiao Cheng.
The domestic procedure goes slowly, and foreign countries find someone to live with and warm each other, and some have a solid relationship with their domestic lovers, even if they apply and find out this situation, they will not divorce, for fear that people from China will make trouble here.
The result is nothing more than two kinds, one is divorce, and the other is to drive away the one who is heating up. But no matter which method you choose, it is not achieved overnight.
If you want to get a divorce, the newcomer's green card has not yet arrived, or the green card is not stable after only two years. Separated from the heating partner, in addition to the economic disputes, there is also the fact that the two people are already business partners.
If one party's English continues to be bad, then the possibility of severing this relationship is even less, so many deformed and chaotic relationships that take care of the small family and the business at the same time are generated!
Lin Zitan remembered that he knew a person before, and it was because of such a thing that the genuine wife tore up very ugly with the woman who was in trouble and drove the woman away, but the man felt ashamed of others.
I quietly gave a lot of money in private, but because I have had a relationship for more than ten years, I am not used to being separated for a while, so it is not painful to tear each other apart!
Before many people came to the United States, they thought that they were ready to endure all kinds of hardships, but there are many hardships, which are indescribable, no background, no support, everything starts from scratch, and most people even open their mouths to speak has become a problem!
Not to mention drinking with friends on weekends like in China, singing small songs, bragging and fartizing! It's not easy to find someone to tell the truth, let alone solve that need, so there are many massage parlors here. A lot.. Because the market needs it.
After the two of them finished speaking, they each ate for a while, and Lin Zitan's heart also changed from surging to calm, this is the real immigrant life, maybe a little ugly, but this is the truth!
