Chapter 28: You Lack a Formal Outfit
No one treats others well for no reason, and more than 10,000 dollars is not a small number.
In addition to thinking about this, Laura can no longer find a reason why Ye Dongqing is willing to help her, she doesn't believe that because she is an alumnus, she will be treated so preferentially, and today's $10,000 can be completely ignored by herself.
Laura's family is a bit special, her parents have been divorced for nearly ten years, and her mother has almost no other hobbies except drinking and gambling.
Since turning eighteen, she no longer wanted to live with this woman, even though she had given birth to her own mother.
In fact, except for giving birth to herself, it seems that she has no other credit, in addition to going to school and working, she has to go back to take care of her mother who is drunk all day, since she was a child.
The biological father's side is slightly better, mainly referring to the personality aspect, and there are not too many vices. But in the matter of college tuition, she couldn't help her much, and only got together $3,000 to remit to Laura, and she didn't blame the other party for this, and she did her best.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and in this country where money is paramount, the lives of the poor are even more difficult.
Money-making jobs are hard to find, and prices are extremely high. For ordinary families, children often worry about tuition fees when they go to college, take Columbia University as an example, the ACT admission score is at least 32 points, and the total score is 36, and if you want to get a full scholarship, you have to be higher.
Scores and other conditions must exceed half of the freshmen to qualify for the scholarship, and unfortunately, she did not meet the criteria and missed the full scholarship.
I didn't want to go to a school that was almost good, and I couldn't afford to go to a good school, so I thought it would take a year, but if I couldn't do it, I would go to another school, a school that was willing to provide me with a full scholarship.
I thought it would be very difficult, but I didn't expect to meet such a generous guy as Ye Dongqing, who earned more than 10,000 dollars in just a few days, of course I am very grateful to him, but Ye Dongqing is like a piece of wood, and he didn't show anything, so Laura didn't know what to say......
No matter how beautiful the Kobe frost beef, it will turn into a normal color after roasting, but the taste is okay, the fat and thin are moderate, and there is no need to brush the oil.
Sprinkled with a little salt and black pepper as an adjunct, Ye Dongqing skillfully picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.
He didn't have the ability to read minds, how could he guess what Miss Laura was thinking at the moment, the pretty girl was certainly eye-catching, but he was also a veteran who had come from a large field of flowers, and he could restrain himself well. Rather than falling in love, I hope to make some yellow and white things first, and take advantage of this good time to buy more stocks, funds, etc., and I haven't thought about that at all.
Opposite, Laura asked, "I want to know what you're going to do before making a decision."
Whatever you did the other day was none of my business, I wouldn't ask too much, so don't worry about who I'm going to leak to you. Next, I would rather do something normal, legal than adventurous. ”
The courage to say big is big, and small is small.
Who wants to be confined to a fence like an animal and let someone else decide when to eat, when to rest, and when to go out in the sun?
"Yo, so you know that you're afraid, when you're selling things in school, why don't you want to think about not taking risks?"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Dongqing felt that his words were easy to misunderstand, and continued: "Don't think about it, I'm not threatening you, now we belong to grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and we won't do that kind of business again in the future, it's 100% legal." ”
"Grasshopper?" Laura, a serious white girl, with blue eyes and yellow hair, knew how to know Chinese sayings, and her face was curious.
Ye Dongqing looked at her, other white girls are prone to freckles, Laura has very good genes and is very strong, she is not old at this age, and most of them will not have freckles in the future, her little face is white and pink, and it is a little hot to sit by the oven, covered with a layer of pink.
Speaking of which, this is the first time the two of them have eaten dinner alone, he explained: "It means that our interests are tied together, you are unlucky, I am also unlucky, you know where I go to school." ”
"Well, that's true, so what are you going to do?"
Laura said as she saw a girl in a kimono who was about to come over to help with the barbecue, and waved her hand to let her come.
"I haven't thought about it for a while, but I'm a little bit of an eyebrow. If you lack a formal outfit, I'll buy you a women's suit later, and remember to put on makeup before going out tomorrow to make yourself look more mature.
I'll take you to a place to visit first, inspect the market in advance, and if nothing else, you should be able to earn some pocket money. ”
"Leo, I haven't agreed to work for you yet, I haven't thought about anything, I already have an idea when I hear you say this. ”
"Haha! There are some, but it's not clear if it's possible.
Tomorrow you go on a trip to Wall Street and see how the successful girls talk and dress up......"
New York, especially Manhattan, has a lot of opportunities to make a fortune, and it's up to you to take it.
Compared with ordinary people, Ye Dongqing has a full advantage, everything is ready, only the start-up capital is missing, and the more than 100,000 US dollars in his hand is still far behind.
This makes there is not much room for operation, and he must continue to find a way to make quick money, preferably a million profits, without excessive costs, under this premise, he came up with a good solution.
Hearing Miss Laura ask, Ye Dongqing didn't say much for the time being, and turned to talk about other things, such as which food is delicious, which university is better, whether he will go back to high school in the future, and so on.
It was agreed that both of them were short of money now, and after the exams tomorrow, they did not plan to go back to high school to continue their boring classes.
Laura's appetite is not as big as Ye Dongqing, and when he heard him say that he made money, he thought that it only represented hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, and even if this number was multiplied by a hundred, he would not feel that it was much. There is no reason to turn back more and more, I have gone out on private jets and vacations to drive yachts in my previous life, and this time the goal has become much bigger.
After two bottles of soju, Miss Laura insisted on paying for it herself, thanking him for his help.
Ye Dongqing didn't refuse, and when she heard her ask about the Mustang car, she replied calmly: "Just throw it there, or it won't be long before the police drag it away, I should be like a rich man, and you, don't be reluctant to spend money when buying clothes, no less than a thousand dollars." ”
"Crazy for a thousand dollars for a suit!"
"Don't be so loud, you have to care about money and act like you don't care about money so much, dressing is very important to my plans for the future, you don't mess up. ”
The degree of soju is not high, Ye Dongqing at this age doesn't drink much, overestimates the amount of alcohol he drinks, and his head is slightly dizzy at the moment, just comfortable.
"It's worth that much, but I don't need to spend that much. "Laura has never entered the rich world where Ye Dongqing used to be, and she feels that her head is caught in the door before she buys such expensive clothes.
“...... Forget it, now go to Fifth Avenue, I'll give you a set! Look at the girls over there, how they spend their money, you have to make others think that you have money, and then you will obediently give you the money. ”
The last sentence was a little interesting, and Laura sniffed out something unusual from it, lowered her voice and glared, "You're going to make me a liar?
“......”
