Chapter 153: What Is It?, (2/3)
I was going to play in Paris for two days, and then directly ask Miss Marcy to go to New York with her, but her part-time job has not been fully handled, because she is busy with Ye Dongqing and delays the time, so she can only talk about it next time.
I was quite satisfied with this trip to Paris, in fact, it was nothing more than eating and drinking, walking around the Champs-Élysées, Place de la Concorde, the Arc de Triomphe or something, and by the way, I also went around the Louvre, Marhi accompanied Ye Dongqing throughout the whole process, so it was difficult for him to pick out what he was not satisfied with, and he felt that it was time to leave when he left, which was the morning of the third day after coming to Paris.
Just like friends, nothing happened, which made Ye Dongqing very satisfied.
For him, a playboy, it is no longer out of some kind of physical impulse to get close to anyone, and it is rare to have the idea of wanting to enter into a deeper communication, ideologically, and no longer limited to the physical, after all, it is a relatively good progress, and in his opinion a serious relationship is how it should be, and it develops slowly like others.
Well, love life is a real mess.
learned from the girl that Laura already knew about her coming to Europe, and the speaker had no intention of listening, Ye Dongqing felt that he should go to London for a trip, otherwise he would look very scumbag, in fact, now he also feels that his approach is very unkind.
In order to avoid messing everything up, he only told Miss Marsh that he was back in New York, but in fact went directly to the train station to take the Star of Hope train, and crossed the channel to London.
There's no way to tell the truth, you can't tell Marsh, "Hey, I'm going to London to meet another pretty girl." ”
Until he followed his heart and made a choice, he thought it was the best option, and it could be the beginning of the mess......
It took me a few hours to get from Paris to London, because I didn't have to worry about the plane diving headlong into the Atlantic, and it felt much more comfortable than flying.
As soon as I arrived at St. Pancolas station, I called Laura and asked her where she lived recently, and after getting the address, I took a taxi to get there, although London and Paris are not far apart, but there are many differences in terms of culture and urban style.
The driver is a traditional old gentleman, even if he drives a taxi, he does not forget to wear a formal suit, his tie is neater than Ye Dongqing, and his accent is full of British flavor, slow and clear.
There is no idea of chatting, Ye Dongqing has been to London many times, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament and other famous attractions in London he has been to, so he took the time to call Mr. Alfred to discuss some business matters, in recent days there are two companies, namely Nike and Nestle, hoping to advertise through Facebook, and he needs to get ideas about the price.
Advertisements have already begun, and other Internet companies have also entered the stage of profitability, each with its own way of generating revenue, and Facebook has started to place advertisements normally, but the number is small, which does not make users feel disgusted.
Compared with the smooth sailing Tamsui Investment Group, he has recently paid more attention to the development of Facebook, and now has more registered users, even if he accepts financing at a valuation of 250 million US dollars, it is estimated that he can attract individuals or institutions who are willing to pay for it.
Laura's recent hotel is too ordinary, there is even an aunt in the yard who is bathing the dog, there is a mess everywhere, only the location is not bad, in the center of the city.
Her income is limited, and she has to keep some money to pay for college tuition and daily expenses, so that the funds spent on rent are insufficient, Ye Dongqing couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw Laura's puff of anger.
Glancing at the room with only one bed and a kitchenette, he said, "I didn't ask you for rent, is the jacuzzi not comfortable enough, or is the location of the Puchuan Building too bad, so you would rather choose to live here than go back to my house?"
I could see that Laura's mood was wrong, the wine bottle was still on the dining table, and when she stood by the window and looked out, she could just see the big messy courtyard below, where people were being created upstairs, and dust was falling from the ceiling.
I wanted to say a few angry words, but Laura was quite afraid of Ye Dongqing, and she didn't know why, so she lowered her head and replied: "That's your house, I fell out with my friend, I'm looking for a job recently, and I'll move to the dormitory when the school starts, and my ACT score is almost enough to apply to Cambridge or Oxford, but not the University of St. Andrews or Durham University." ”
Ye Dongqing nodded and continued: "Let's go, accompany me to the street for lunch, I guess you don't have anything to eat here, so how are you doing in London?"
Laura glared at him, thinking that this nasty fellow who was getting richer and richer must be gloating, how was he doing, couldn't he tell by looking at this house? Of course it was terrible, there was not even a separate bathroom!
In the end, he went to lunch, mashed potatoes, two slices of bread, dog and bacon on the outside, small portions of French fries on the plate, Ye Dongqing did not say anything about his trip to Paris, and Laura's casual chat, knowing each other for so long was enough for him to see that this girl had no opinions, and she was obedient to her eccentric character, for example, after returning to London, her own life was terrible, and she did not have the ability to live alone.
So when shopping next, Ye Dongqing took a taxi and asked the driver to take him to one of London's largest real estate agencies, and specially let them buy an apartment near the Thames River, opposite the London Eye, not far from the location of the Shard in the future, not too big, the decoration is very chic, more than 170 square meters, spent nearly three million pounds, and gave it directly to Laura with a wave of his hand, without giving her any chance to refuse.
He is never stingy with spending money on women, so he has lived with him for so long, Ye Dongqing hopes that she can live better, and don't go to the house pitifully, even if Laura doesn't mind, he himself feels uncomfortable, since he wants to live in the UK, it is nothing to buy a set directly, and the first district will still be the heart of London in the future.
At present, the construction of The Shard has not yet started, and it will not start until a few years later, and the neighborhood will be even better in the future, and the property will most likely appreciate in value.
Laura had been confused, not happy or humiliated, but couldn't figure out his attitude.
You can see the London Eye outside the window, to be precise, half of the London Eye Ferris wheel, the other half is covered, you have to go to the living room to see it, no one likes to live in this kind of place.
However, Laura always felt uncomfortable when someone suddenly gave her such a house, and thought that she should at least ask her meaning first, instead of taking her passport and asking the staff of the real estate agency to help send it to register the transfer.
Confused and dazed, the two of them were lying on the same bed, Laura pulled away the hair covering her eyes, and asked him, "So what is our relationship now?"
