Chapter 492: Apartment
Chapter 492 Apartment
Before midnight, Fu Zhengyi stood on the terrace of her apartment with Liu Meijia's slender waist in his arms.
The cool night breeze is completely different from the dry smell of Las Vegas, and the salty smell of the sea water is also a constant reminder of the change in his environment.
Ignoring the hand that was playing tricks in her pajamas, Liu Meijia exclaimed after carefully counting the eight checks in her hand. "Oh my God, you netted yourself 16 million in less than eight minutes?"
"yes, I guess the bookmakers in Las Vegas are looking for me right now......"
Liu Meijia turned her face and said with a straight face. "Who can guess this kind of thing! If the bookmakers only accept wins and not losses, who will buy their lottery tickets?"
Not wanting to dwell on this issue, Fu Zhengyi put his chin in her shoulder socket and asked. "By the way, didn't you buy a big manor, why do you still live here?"
"The manor is not inhabitable yet, and the main house has long been eaten by termites, so it is planned to be rebuilt, and only a cottage on the west side is kept. It is indeed an advantage for American workers to be conscientious, but I can't understand that they don't accept overtime at all! In order to maintain the original architectural style, even if I am angry, I can only endure it......
Remembering that Liu Meijia had spent hundreds of millions of dollars in two days before, Fu Zhengyi couldn't help but ask with a smile. "Are the local media still chasing you?"
"This is San Francisco, but there is Hollywood here! The media's interest is which celebrity is good with whom, with whom to share, which celebrity has been beaten up, or who has been beaten, and the president of a small bank like me is not qualified to occupy an important page of the local media for a long time!"
Noticing that Liu Meijia's tone was a little sour, Fu Zhengyi didn't understand what was going on for a while, so he diverted the topic and asked her why her brother wasn't here on vacation?
"Hiding at home will not improve his language, the context is very critical, I think his language problem is still too dependent, so I let him go out to work by himself......"
"You didn't arrange it for him?"
"Why should I arrange for him? Now it's easy to find a job here, as long as you don't dislike it, it's no problem to work three jobs a day!"
Fu Zhengyi was a little speechless. "Isn't it too harsh?"
"Justice, I am standing here because of you, but he has nothing to be proud of except that I am his sister! American children will take advantage of the winter and summer vacations to go out to work and earn money when they are fourteen or fifteen years old, and my younger brother is eighteen years old this year, why can't he go out to work?"
Liu Meijia's rebuttal made Fu Zhengyi have nothing to say for a while.
Does this mean that she has completed 'Westernization', from a traditional Eastern woman to a Western 'self-respecting' woman?
"I went to see the manor last week, and if it was soon, I would be able to move in in less than two months, but the main house was so damaged that it was sold so cheaply. It's just that even after repair, the house is too big, and I'll be scared if I live alone......"
"And you were going to buy the biggest set?"
"It's cheap! Ten acres is equivalent to 60 acres of land in China, and although it costs $3.5 million, it can be converted into less than $90 per square meter, and it's a permanent property right! As long as I say 'NO,' then even if the president comes, I can't enter!"
"What comes with freehold property is that you have to pay property tax every year, and if the area is large, you have to hire a gardener to take care of it, otherwise there will be many problems such as destroying the beauty of the environment, which will lead to a surge in summons from the court......"
Without waiting for Fu Zhengyi's rebuttal to end, Liu Meijia took his hand and sat down, and said seriously. "Justice! I'll tell you a story. A self-employed entrepreneur took out some loans from a local bank, and his business became bigger and more profitable. But I didn't expect a car accident, so that this person left without even leaving a last word, so the bank immediately froze the company's account, and the supplier who got the news could only enter the factory to move raw materials, move finished products to offset the account, and when the seller who paid the money came, the company only had those equipment left to pull away......"
Speaking of this, Liu Meijia raised her face, and when she saw that Fu Zhengyi still hadn't understood, she shook her head and continued. "In fact, if this company is allowed to continue production, not only can the supplier's debts be paid off, but even the seller and the bank will not suffer losses, but because of the bank's regulations, the family will suddenly be on the verge of bankruptcy, and the bank itself will have to bear a lot of losses......
"What you're trying to say is hurting others and not benefiting yourself?"
Sighing, Liu Meijia clenched her fists and feigned anger. "No! I just want to talk about the investment environment! It is impossible for a company like Microsoft to exist in Huaxia, and it is simply impossible to succeed through hard work under the population base of more than 1 billion in China! Come here, come to the United States! You should be able to find your suitable position here, and if you also have a green card, you can obtain American citizenship, and I believe that you will not suffer so much helplessness and interference in Huaxia at that time......
"Meijia, why did you suddenly remember to tell me about this? Are you still not satisfied with your green card?"
"Just having a green card means that I can settle here and find a job, but if I need help, I have to call the embassy, can you understand how difficult it is to live in a foreign country and have no sense of belonging......
In vain, there was an object of catharsis, and Liu Meijia told her grievances, her hesitation, her helplessness, and her confusion in the past six months!
Patting the shoulder of the girl curled up in his arms, Fu Zhengyi said. "Meijia, I hope to make some achievements in China, relatively speaking, the United States has developed, so unfair and unjust things don't need me to think about, but the vulnerable groups in China need to be concerned, need support, and need to be helped, so I hope I can do my best to help them and give them the opportunity to change their destiny......"
"Justice, you are not a god, let alone a saint! You can't change the fate of many people......
"Change as much as you can! I will not shrink from myself, although I am brown and broad, I will not be embarrassed. Shrinking from reflexivity, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!"
Looking at Fu Zhengyi in a daze, Liu Meijia sighed after a while. "Hey, what you want to do must be very difficult, you are not a saint, so the more you do, the more wrong you will be, the flaws are just words, once you touch the core, your shortcomings will be endlessly magnified!
"If you don't do it, how do you know you won't be able to do it?"
"Well, I can't persuade you. But I want you to remember that no matter what happens, I will be by your side, and if you want me, I will come, and if you don't want me, I will go......!
Liu Meijia said that tears began to roll in her eyes, and the heartbroken tone made Fu Zhengyi stunned for a while!
Click!
The door was opened from the outside.
Liu Meijia was startled, quickly jumped out of Fu Zhengyi's arms, and raised her hand to turn on the light in the living room!
"Little brother?"
"Sister?"
The young man standing at the door with a shoulder bag on his back turned his gaze from Liu Meijia to Fu Zhengyi, and it was obvious to the naked eye that there was anger piling up in his expression.
"Little brother, come here, call brother!"
Throwing one shoulder and back to the ground, Liu Zhiyong pointed at Fu Zhengyi and said angrily. "Sister, what's so good about this little white face? Maddie is 10,000 times stronger than him......"
Liu Meijia rushed over and slapped Liu Zhiyong in the face fiercely, not even finishing the words he wanted to say.
The crisp sound of the slap restored the original silence of the spacious living room.
"Little brother, if I hear you say such things again, then you will go back to China and take your university again!"
Glaring at Fu Zhengyi, picking up the shoulder bag on the ground, Liu Zhiyong pushed open the door and went out, as the sound of the knocking footsteps became softer and softer, Liu Meijia, who was sitting on the ground, covered her face and howled silently.
picked up a pack of tissues, took the trash can with him, and Fu Zhengyi put his arm around Liu Meijia's shoulders and handed her the tissues one by one.
"He's spoiled...... Maddie was poached by me from other banks, very good, although he is a good person and has always been interesting to me, but I don't have any thoughts about him, if you don't think it's good, I'll transfer him to the branch......"
"Silly girl, people were dug up by you, and kicking people away when you run out is not like words......"
"Justice, aren't you afraid that I will be robbed of by others?"
"Rob, whoever dares to go against your will, I will fight with him!"
Fu Zhengyi's very exaggerated tone made Liu Meijia, whose eyes were red and swollen, finally flutter, but then she lowered her head and whispered. "Then you mean that if you weren't 'robbed', you wouldn't care, would you?"
"I respect your wishes, and I know that I am not a qualified boyfriend, all I can give is to help you realize your wishes, so that you can be satisfied, safe and happy......"
Sighing secretly, Liu Meijia squeezed out the smile she thought was the brightest. "My little brother is not sensible, and I don't care much on weekdays, don't be angry with him, okay?"
"Child, I haven't passed the hurdle of the rebellious period, where will I be angry with him?"
"Cut! You're only two years older than him, and those who don't know think you're seventy or eighty......!
After crying and laughing, Liu Meijia asked Fu Zhengyi to take a bath first, and began to sort out the paper towels all over the floor in the living room.
High-end apartment, everything is comfortable.
As he walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe and wiped his wet hair with a dry towel, Fu Zhengyi noticed that the drawer at the bottom of the bedside table didn't seem to be closed.
I wanted to say it, but Liu Meijia had already rushed into the bathroom and locked the door, Fu Zhengyi turned on the bedside lamp and squatted down and pulled the drawer out.
Two thick notebooks that seem to be used a lot.
There are also a few ballpoint pens in the corner.
The word 'diary' that he saw when he opened the cover made Fu Zhengyi stunned...... (To be continued.) )
