Chapter 180: Stealing a Kiss (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Stand on the top floor of the Empire State Building with the girl you like and watch the snow.
There are no taller buildings around, so the view is good, the city is covered by small snowflakes, and the sky is already overcast in the evening, and many of the facades of buildings, including the Empire State Building, are lit up with neon lights.
Automatic color-changing lights are installed on the top 30 floors, which color the surrounding snowflakes, and you can faintly hear the sound of car horns coming from the road, and the sound is very small.
Unlike when he liked Kate, it was more like love at first sight, in fact, Su Mu didn't know Kate's character for a long time.
And this time I was with Miss Lily, because I adapted to each other's personalities and tempers, compared to the time when I was a teenager, the emotions that were not vigorous and vigorous, this time it was more real and more comfortable.
There are couples kissing next to them, and some children are so excited that they are yelling, Su Mu has asked the hotel driver to pick up his family at JFK Airport, Li Ping'an was unlucky and failed to catch the plane.
He said something very unpleasant, put his hand on the cold railing, and said, "The last time I came here, I thought that as long as I bought this building, the income from the observation deck would be mine, and the residents of the building would have to pay me rent."
Now the building is mine, and the money I make has nothing to do with me, even though I know that if it does, Prudential Insurance Company will not sell me the Empire State Building at such a low price, but I am still very unbalanced. β
"So, what are you going to do?" Lily scraped a layer of snow from the railing of the observation deck and held it into a small ball of snow in her palm, "Since you knew it didn't fit at the time, you should have an idea, right?" β
"Well, I have an idea, and I'm going to talk to the best lawyers in New York, and I'll go to them next month. The contract was made in the fifties, and now more than thirty years later, some laws have been changed, and at that time the Empire State Building was just the Empire State Building, and now it is a national historic landmark, representing the glory of the United States in the thirties, there is no perfect contract, and even if the contract is perfect, smart lawyers have a way to get around it.
I didn't major in law at Yale, but I learned more than any law student, and so far I've found four loopholes in that lease that I can exploit, and what happens depends on how the judge decides, and whether my rivals in the Empire State Building Union are smart enough. β
Su Mu looked at Lily and smiled: "I also have an advantage, this is my building, they only have the right to lease after all, and no one wants to see tenants make trouble in their own home." Plus, I'm richer than the Empire State Building Corporation, and if nothing else, I'll be even richer next, which is also an advantage. β
Just when Lily listened to him carefully, she suddenly noticed that Su Mu had put her face over and kissed her on the face, and suddenly she was stupid, and asked him cutely, "What is this doing?"
"Nothing, just think the scenery is so good, it's a waste if you don't kiss it. β
Su Mu was not so bold, and when he talked about his feelings with Mr. Senna yesterday, he said that there was no need to say so much, just do it.
After thinking about it, I thought it was a good suggestion, and the relationship between the two had not made much progress recently, so Su Mu decided to be more proactive and took the risk of being slapped in the face and kissed decisively.
At this moment, I noticed that she did not resist, and her courage became bigger again.
I kissed her on the lips, and then again, the last time I was completely drunk, this time the experience was clearer, soft and comfortable.

didn't know that his son was looking for his daughter-in-law, and after Su Dingcai and his wife got off the plane, they took the old man and followed the crowd forward.
They were all born in the United States, but they had never been to New York, and Old Man Su had never been on a plane before, so he was nervous for four hours, for fear that the iron bump would fall from the sky.
In July, Ilang Airlines Flight 655 flew through the Strait of Hormuz and was mistaken for an enemy F14 fighter by the cruiser USS Vincennes, and the cruiser captain ordered a missile to be fired at the commercial airliner, killing all 290 people on board, including more than 60 children.
In November last year, two planes fell for two days, killing more than 300 people, and it was possible to survive a car accident, and most of the people who fell from the plane were gone, and the old man's legs were still trembling slightly, and he forcibly endured it.
In Chinatown, one acre and three points of land, it is very hard, and it is not good to go out, after all, I still see too little of the world, and I can't adapt to it for a while.
Many Chinese have lived in the Chinatown area all their lives, and Old Man Su is already much better than them, complaining about uncomfortable ears, and saying that he will take a bus when he returns.
When I got out of the boarding gate, I saw the driver in uniform, with Su Dingcai's name written on the sign in his hand, and quickly got into the car after negotiation, and entered the Rolls-Royce under the envious gaze of a group of passers-by.
Soon I saw the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center from afar, and browsed the landscape of New York, compared with Los Angeles, New York is indeed much more spectacular, and the name of "the world's most prosperous metropolis" is not blown out.
Before the parents came, Su Mu took Lily to change her clothes and go downstairs to the party.
The scale was larger than expected, and the Empire State Building Union turned the party into a social occasion, sending invitations to all the merchants in the building, and more than 100 people were in attendance.
The company made money, and the entire eighty-seven floors were all office buildings of the Empire State Building United Company, with a magnificent decoration.
When Su Mu arrived, someone greeted him perfunctorily, whether it was the Empire State Building United Company or the residents of the building, they didn't care who the building and the land belonged to, just like when they treated Prudential Insurance Company, they only needed to ignore it, and they didn't have the right to manage it anyway.
Their attitude was expected by Su Mu, and after Mr. Morkin helped introduce Su Mu, he went to chat with the guests, he was the real host of the party.
On the contrary, Su Mu, only some tenants came to talk to him, such as Mr. Burnham, the chairman of the World Cultural Heritage Foundation who rented the 24th floor, Lily did not like the occasion today, because he was willing to accompany him, and stayed quietly by the side.
Su Mu took a glass of champagne and asked Mr. Burnham, "Is your rent expensive? After buying this Empire State Building, I realized that it was too old, the faΓ§ade had not been renovated for a long time, it had begun to peel off, and there was an elevator, which was very slow. β
"I also think it's too slow, and the number of elevators is too small, sometimes one floor at a time, so we don't want to leave directly after work, we would rather wait for an hour or two, and then leave after there are fewer people, otherwise we may have to wait for a long time and queue up to get into the elevator. β
I didn't notice that Su Mu was talking about it, Mr. Burnham was a doctor, a bit of a nerdy personality, and seemed to have no temper.
"So what about the residents, why are some floors divided into apartments for rent? β
"Who knows, I only care about whether there is water in the toilet, we often cut off the water on the 24th floor, the water pressure is too low, and the upstairs is even more unlucky. Those people were just interested in making money, and they even opened a bar upstairs from us, but luckily no one worked at night, otherwise it would be so noisy that it was like a high-class slum ......"
