"Sir, you're back. The nanny respectfully took the handbag and greeted, saw the man's gloomy face, cautiously walked into the kitchen, and whispered to a mixed-race beauty with outstanding temperament, tall figure, and delicate facial features with obvious Chinese characteristics: "Madam, sir's face is ugly, and he seems to be in a bad mood." β
"Well, what's wrong again?" put down the kitchen knife in her hand and washed her hands, Li Wanqing's beautiful eyes flashed with doubt, frowned slightly, and walked into the living room, just in time to see her husband with a gloomy face and a cigarette in his hand.
"What's going on? Didn't you say okay, don't you bring your work emotions home?"
"What's the matter? What else could it be, it's not because of your precious son!" Smith angrily pinched the cigarette in his hand, and flashed his hand a few times in the smoke that had not yet dissipated, he knew that his wife hated the smell of smoke very much.
"Andy, what's wrong with Andy? I just called, he's fine!" Li Wanqing watched the smoke dissipate, bent down angrily and picked up the ashtray on the table, ready to put it on the balcony, and asked puzzled when she heard her husband angry because of his son.
"Hmph, of course he won't tell you that he put 6 million yuan of villa and copyright mortgage from the bank into the stock market! This stinky boy is too bold. Auston snorted coldly, seeing his wife's face turn pale, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit on the sofa.
"Whatγγγγγγ? This...... How can this kid be like this! Where does he know what stocks, no, I'm going to call and ask for clarification!" After speaking, he picked up the phone from the table next to him and pressed the quick dial button of 1.
When the phone was connected, Li Wanqing said anxiously: "Son, how can you mortgage the property and buy stocks, what's going on?"
Andy, who received the call, saw that it was his mother's call, and immediately realized the situation on his side, and his parents already knew, and explained helplessly: "Mom, don't worry, listen to me explain to you slowlyγγγγγγ β
An hour later, when he hung up the phone, Andy was helplessly slumped on the sofa, it was really troublesome, fortunately this is the United States, he is an adult, and he can completely dispose of his property, even his parents can only reluctantly accept their decision, even if they will be unhappy.
If this was in Huaxia, I would have broken my fucking leg a long time ago!
Li Wanqing put down the phone and rubbed her hands back and forth very uneasily, this is more than eight million US dollars, even if their family is very rich, they can't accept the risk of losing such a sum of money.
"Hmph, I said a long time ago, don't let him go to Los Angeles, now it's okay, it's completely autonomous, let him be admitted to New York University back then, you have to support him to take the USC exam, what is happening now, he has taken a leave of absence from USC, he didn't go to school at all, he knows fooling around all day long, looking at those tabloid reports, it's simply a shame on the Smith family!"
Auston walked up and down the living room in a rage, babbling and talking louder and louder.
"Bang!"
"Okay! You're still finished!" Li Wanqing, who had slowly calmed down from the panic just now, heard her husband's complaints and accusations, her willow eyebrows were upside down, her jade hand slapped on the coffee table, and she snorted.
Auston was like a duck choked by the neck, his face was so red that the words on his lips were held back, and a small handful of meticulous hair fluttered in front of his forehead, and he stood in the living room awkwardly, looking at his wife cautiously.
Seeing her husband's appearance, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and glanced at her angrily, "Actually, there is nothing to worry about, I just thought about my son's analysis, it does make sense, you haven't seen Jobs, although he is a little annoying, but he is indeed a genius, and his son is optimistic about Apple's stock, which also makes sense!"
"Hmph, what does he know?" After seeing his tigress smiling like a flower, his worried heart calmed down, rolled his eyes, sat down next to his wife, and snorted coldly carefully.
Li Wanqing was angry and raised her jade hand to pat her husband, got up from the sofa, and said as she walked towards the restaurant.
"You're amazing, okay, it's useless to say this now, he's old now, it's normal to have his own ideas, besides, what if his analysis is correct, even if the stock falls in the end, isn't it still possible to make long-term investmentγγγγγγs! β
At night, Andy, who was lying on the sofa in the movie screening room in pajamas after taking a bath, yawned and watched the 007 movie shown on the screen, and still felt that all the current life seemed to be a dream, so unreal, confused and fanatical.
Turning off the projector, taking out the wine glass from the wine cabinet, pouring a full glass of ice wine, what kind of wine tasting culture, now Andy wants that kind of exhilarating feeling, making himself feel real.
In the morning, the piano room.
The morning sun shines on the white grand piano, with a little shimmer, making people feel very warm.
The beautiful melody of "To Alice" surrounds the room, and when it is completely integrated, Andy has taken over everything that the two of them have in their entirety. The piano playing is also a matter of course.
After playing the song, Andy licked his lips that were a little dry, closed the lid, walked into the kitchen, picked up the finished sandwich and ate it, a large glass of milk went down, cleaned up the table a little, moved his hands and feet a few times, looked at the neat, bright and luxurious room, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly, he liked the rich life now.
I don't know if the dead fat man has found a nanny and a fitness coach! Walking into the gym, looking at the rich fitness equipment, Andy is a little blind, he can only start from a simple treadmill, there is no professional coach, and if Andy's scumbag body in the recovery period uses equipment indiscriminately, he may really hurt himself.
After running, taking a shower, lying on the sofa a little lazily, Andy couldn't help laughing, this morning bath, or the last Andy's obsession caused by the Chinese people, as a Chinese people do not have the habit of taking a bath in the morning, this is also one of the strange habits of the American people who cannot understand the Chinese people, and then take off their shoes when they enter the house, do not drink ice water, and only wash their feet at night without bathing.
Now as an American, Andy is also changing little by little, he doesn't want to be treated as a freak by others, he can have a personality, but he can't be different, that would be out of the mainstream.
Don't underestimate these habits, if you want to integrate into the new environment, you have to start by respecting the new culture and integrating into the mainstream society.
After looking at the time, the stock market was almost open, Andy made a cup of coffee, walked into the study and turned on the computer.
"$50.6, it's still falling! Well, no matter what, I bought it at this price!"
Andy saw that Apple's stock price was still falling slightly, and after a while, he began to place an order to buy, anyway, he didn't know what line to read, as long as he knew that it would rise.
Of course, Andy wasn't stupid enough to put up all the eight million, he would just sweep the lowest price of the sell orders little by little. The sound of the crackling keyboard, the speed of the hand is very fast, it doesn't stop for a moment, and the eight million dollars smack, and it doesn't get up at all, but it makes him tired.
"Okay, just wait patiently and sell it next year!" looked at the stock account interface again, muttered to himself a little excitedly, and then closed the webpage, a sense of relief arose.
Now you just need to write a novel with peace of mind, and then publish it to make money and buy it. I lit a cigarette, took a sip of coffee, opened the novel document, looked at what I wrote last time, closed my eyes and thought for a while, and then continued to code.
In two days, the first story "The Maleficent" will be completed, and the second will be "Snow White and the Hunter" and "The Hunter's Winter War". After writing these two stories, it should be ready to be published, and the first volume of "Dark Fairy Tales" will be assembled, but I don't know what the market reaction will be, and then it will depend on the publisher's publicity efforts.
Andy secretly sneered in his heart, the publishing house that signed the contract now has a very good opinion about his work for so long, and their customer representative is even more sneering at his agent, wait, just sign a contract for a book, and then sell it well, and then settle accounts with them.
If you don't care about it, you really think that he is easy to bully, Andy of the Chinese people will naturally not have any enemies as a technical nerd, but he and Andy of the American imperialism have a common characteristic, they are a little cautious, although they are not flawed, but they have the opportunity and ability to retaliate against the people who make them unhappy, and they don't mind stepping forward and stepping on a few feet.
