Chapter Seventy-Four: Unexpectedly Invited Three Watches
After Lin Zi hung up Zhang Jing's phone, a shallow smile rose at the corner of his mouth, thinking that this fate was really enough, and he thought that he would try not to get too close to Joseph, so he didn't help him arrange a place to live, and now he was bumped into by Zhang Jing again after going around. I thought that if it weren't for my own whim, Zhang Jing wouldn't care about the life or death of a beggar, maybe everything was destined in the dark!
After looking at his stock information for a while, it wasn't until his roommate in the dormitory opened the door and walked in, that he quickly closed the page for stock trading, pretending to be about to pack up and go to bed.
βHi DanielοΌγγ Are you free this weekend?" the Jewish roommate called Lin Zi for a moment, then hesitated again.
"Weekends? probably... Yes, what's wrong?" Lin Zitan thought for a moment and replied.
Lin Zitan and his roommate also meet and say hello on weekdays, and so far they only know that his name is Louis, Jewish, and he doesn't even know the other party's age, major, grade or something.
"I... This weekend, there's a birthday party that I want to invite you to, but I don't know if you're going to show your face. Luis said cautiously.
"Birthday party?yours?" Lin Zitan was surprised to get Luis's invitation, because in his concept, the two really didn't know each other very well.
"Yes, my eighteen-year-old rite of passage!" Louis said, his fingers uncomfortably pinching the slightly curly sideburns around his ears.
"Uh, okay, no problem, what about the time and place!" Lin Zitan thought to himself that since people opened their mouths to invite him, it means that they still regard him as a friend, and they can't refuse their kindness.
"Oh, here's the invitation, there's a time and place on it, it's Sunday at 6pm, I don't know a lot of people in school, so... It's too abrupt to worry all the time. Louis hurriedly took out a card from his backpack and handed it to Lin Zitan, saying very politely.
"Where, I appreciate your invitation, I'll be there on time, oh yes, do I need to wear a formal suit?"
Lin Zitan took the invitation and looked at it, and found that it was a very high-grade and very popular restaurant newly opened in Shangcheng this year.
"It's best to wear formal attire because there will also be some of my father's business partners and my own important family members in attendance. Louis's respect for his parents and relatives was also evident in his words.
"Then I know, I'll be sure to be on time to show up. Lin Zitan said, solemnly putting the invitation card in his folder.
"Great, thank you~ Hehe, to be honest, I'm still worried that you won't go, after all. We don't seem to know each other that well, but I've always felt like you're nice, really... Louis saw that Lin Zitan agreed so happily, and his mood instantly became happy, and he unconsciously talked more.
In fact, Louis is also a freshman, and he has not yet made a suitable friend in school, and it looks like his birthday is about to be celebrated, his father asked him if he had made friends at school and asked him to bring them to the coming-of-age ceremony, but after thinking about it, he only thought of Lin Zitan, after all, it was useless to tell his father that he had no friends!
"I also really thank you for inviting me, I think you're a good person!" Lin Zitan smiled, he might be transferred to the Manhattan campus next semester, originally thought that he and this roommate would only stop nodding friends, but I didn't expect that there was a possibility of further acquaintance.

The next day was Friday, and Lin Zitan wanted to go home on Sunday, but after receiving Louis's invitation, he decided to adjust the time to go home to Saturday.
Zhang Jing is very casual in work and school, so he basically sleeps until he wakes up naturally, and he slept quite well this night, sleeping until Lin Zitan called in.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Zhang Jing squinted his eyes and saw that it was Lin Zitan calling, so he picked it up without hesitation.
"I'm going to go downtown today and buy a gift for my roommate. Lin Zitan said to Zhang Jing while jogging on the beach.
"Roommate? What roommate? That Jew?" Lin Zitan told Zhang Jing about his roommate before, although he had never seen it, he remembered that Lin Zitan said that his roommate was a Jew.
"Yes, he invited me to his 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, guess where?" Lin Zitan asked with a smile as he pressed his legs against the guardrail.
"Where, near our company?" Zhang Jing guessed without much imagination.
"Dizzy, no, do you remember the high-end restaurant at Time Warner that just opened this year? β
"Per se?I'm going, is it so good?Do you want to bring a companion?haha~" Zhang Jing thought of the newspaper praising this restaurant, saying that it was from this restaurant overlooking Central Park, and it was okay...
"I'm going, even if I bring a companion, at most I will bring a female companion! How can I bring a male companion! Besides, people didn't say let me take it!" Lin Zitan said with a smile.
"TM people cost 200~500 US dollars, of course people won't let you bring your companions! But your roommate looks very proud of his family! I actually held a birthday banquet there, or on Sunday, if I charter the venue, I don't know how much it will cost!" Zhang Jing envied people who were richer than him for the first time!
"My grass, 200~500 US dollars, so expensive! Then I have to prepare a decent gift, or TM can't get it! I wanted to say that I can buy something casually!" Lin Zitan was about to petrify when he heard this, he remembered that Louis said that his father's business partners and family would be in attendance, and this one would really cost a lot of money!
"Then you wait for me, let's go together!" As soon as Zhang Jing heard that Lin Zitan was going to buy something, he volunteered to follow him as a staff officer.
"How's Joseph over there, let him go to work by himself?" Lin Zitan reminded.
"Who? I'll go, I forgot, he's still downstairs at my house! Then I'll send him to the subway station and then go to meet you!" Zhang Jing said, and hurriedly jumped up from the bed, thinking that he was going to visit Midtown, and he could go to Times Square to eat barbecue at noon.

Lin Zitan had breakfast, and slowly took the subway to the subway station on 42nd Street in Zhongcheng with Zhang Jingyu, originally Lin Zitan said to go to Macy's Department Store on 34th Street, who knew that Zhang Jing said that it was rare to go shopping once, so it would be good to go shopping on Fifth Avenue.
"Don't you often accompany girls to visit the Fifth Avenue, why do you still want to go shopping!" Seeing each other, Lin Zitan couldn't help but say to Zhang Jingdao, who was dressed quite fashionably.
"I used to come to TM as an ATM, but today is the first time for my buddies to take a good look at this drunken street, sometimes I think about it, it's good to have no women, isn't it good for us to go shopping?" Zhang Jing said as he walked majestically.
"Are you sure?I'm looking at the two of us with a lot of strange eyes~" A blonde beauty who had just walked past them gave them a thumbs up.
"What kind of strange eyes?" Zhang Jing was so used to it that he didn't pay attention to the people around him at all, let alone because of their cranky eyes.
"It's okay, let's go!" Lin Zitan wondered if he had never seen two men shopping, especially young people like them, wasn't it normal to wander around without money?
"By the way, have you thought about what to buy?" Zhang Jing turned around and asked Lin Zitan, who was walking behind him half a step slowly.
"No, I don't know what gifts to give to boys, especially TM is still a Jew, do they all love gold, I really don't have any experience in giving gifts!" Lin Zitan thought to himself that he had never given any gifts to anyone when he was so big, neither men nor women, not even Li Manrui, and even Zhang Jing's birthday, which he had missed when he asked.
"I don't know what to give a man! What kind of coming-of-age gift do you say, a watch, a bag, you can't give a necklace anyway!" Zhang Jing said this, and his head grew big.
"Do you want to send a donkey-brand belt?" Lin Zitan suddenly said in surprise.
