Chapter Ninety-Five: New Choices, New Temptations?

"Mrs. Helen......" An Feng's gaze slowly swept over the shelves, with a disapproving expression on his face, and when his gaze swept to the window, he pointed out the window and said calmly: "Have you seen the window?" ”

"Yes," replied Mrs. Helen subconsciously.

"What was the view outside the window at this time last year?"

Lady Helen hesitated a little: "I, I didn't pay attention, is it still like that, as usual?" ”

"How is the view outside the window the year before last different from last year, and how is the view outside the window last year different from this year? Day after day, year after year, how has this town changed? An Feng paused, observing Lady Helen's expression.

Lady Helen was very calm, and she replied serenely: "Yes, there is no change, but I like this kind of no change." It's exactly the same as the year my husband died, the street is still the same street, the shops are still the same shops, but the customers of the shops have changed slightly, some people have come, some people have stayed, and some people have left.

But at least I know the sunset is still there. I remember before the sun set, my husband accompanied me to close the supermarket, we walked side by side down the alley, back to the house we had formed together, my husband sat on the recliner in front of the door, I sat for him dinner, we toasted to the sunset...... I remember, I remember. ”

Mrs. Helen sobbed a little, and she pointed out the window and said, "You see, nothing has changed, everything is so familiar, and now when I walk through this familiar street, I always feel that my husband is by my side, and we still talk as we used to, but when I cook, I always feel that there is still someone in the rocking chair in front of the door, and my husband is sitting in the rocking chair and watching me...... How nice."

Who says there is no love?

An Feng had a moment of hesitation that he couldn't bear to destroy this wonderful memory, Argyle was not so eager to go to work, An Feng was not so eager to need this supermarket, so that this wonderful memory would last forever, how good.

"Ten years from now?" An Feng asked softly: "Ten years later, when you are old, and you already have gray hair hanging down on your sideburns, is that you still alone, immersed in the memories of the past, I don't mean that this kind of memory is not good, but what about twenty years later?" Thirty years from now?

The world is big, the town is small, and the outside world is wonderful and within easy reach. I'm just giving you a ...... to get out of the memories Window. No, you don't have to make any changes, it's still the same store, the town is still the same town, but you have more options since then.

No, don't object, Lady Helen, hear me first—I'll pay you forty percent of the shares of the shop, and you'll be the manager of the shop, and you can run your shop as usual. I haven't been here for long, Lady Helen, I'm a student, I'm studying here for four years, or five years, and then I'll be out of here, and then you can buy back your little shop.

Let's predict what will happen to the little shop with me as a shareholder -- almost nothing will happen, you can save that money, and I leave town in four years, and you use that money to buy back your little shop, and the bank interest on that money will go to you, and voila, it's all as it is

But you can also use the money to increase purchases. Mrs. Helen, the town hasn't changed, but times have changed, and so have the customers of your shop. For example, now there is one more me. I'm a pleasure seeker, drinking the best wine, tasting the rarest and most precious dishes, smoking the best cigars, and the most expensive coffee...... No way, Lady Helen. My credit card requires me to have a minimum monthly spend or the tier will be downgraded. And I searched all over the town, but I couldn't find a place to spend it.

Lady Helen, even if you do me a favor. You see, I spend money to order the goods I need online, and this money is earned by others, and the long mailing process alone can ⊥turn my waiting into thirst. However, your small shop has similar goods, but you can ⊥ I want to drink and get the goods immediately, and I want to smoke and get satisfaction immediately.

Of course, the purchase of such luxury goods in large quantities may lead to a backlog of payments, and now I am willing to share, I invest, and share the risk of the backlog of goods with you. Of course, I'm not a well-wisher, I'm not a philanthropist, and I certainly want to get a return on my investment. Of course, I want to participate in the small store's dividends - you can go at the normal price for the goods sold to me, and the money is earned by the small store, and I will get the dividends I deserve, how good.

Lady Helen, nothing has changed, you can still open the shop in the early morning and go home in the evening. The only thing that has changed: you have one more choice. With this funding, you can change the environment during the vacation, such as going to New York's Metropolis, going to the Caribbean beach for a vacation, seeing the endless flow of the city, and seeing different scenery. Look at what's trending right now, and look at the hottest stars of the moment. Or you can walk around, and when you get tired of walking, you can buy a house in the local area, meet different people, see different environments, and have different breaths of life.

No, no, don't be in a hurry to object, the atmosphere of the metropolis is not so scary, the modern society is not so fierce, and you don't have to make the trip, I just add a special choice. With this money in hand, you will be financially free, at least for a short time, and you can look elsewhere if you have the money to do so, such as going to the place where you and your husband are on your honeymoon, and revisiting the old place again, of course, you can also do nothing and continue to stay in the town and run a small shop. But there's no denying that you have another key on hand that can open another door. ”

Lady Helen was a little hesitant and a little difficult to decide. An Feng waited for a while, waited for the other party to ponder his suggestion for a while, and continued: "Look, Mrs. Helen, you don't have any losses, increase your funds to buy more goods, at least I can consume these goods, and you share the dividends with me with the money you earn, if there are others to buy, then you and I have earned other people's money."

Leave town and go shopping, even if you spend all my share of the money I paid for the little shop, you have nothing to lose. You can always go back to the shop and continue living the way you are now. Because you're still the largest shareholder in this store. Big deal, you don't have to buy back your shares then, I'll resell them to new classmates. You see, nothing has changed. As the largest shareholder of a small shop, you have the right to decide how you do business. ”

Lady Helen's expression wandered slightly, and she asked tentatively, "Forty percent?" ”

"Or 100 percent, depending on your choice."

"How much can you sell for forty percent?"

"It depends on how the appraiser assesses the value of your shop", An Feng saw Helen hesitate again, and immediately added: "But if the amount you say is not much different from my prediction, we can sign the agreement directly without alarming the appraiser." ”

"100,000 dollars?" Helen looked at An Feng's expression, as if she felt a little greedy, and immediately added: "...... It also includes the goods in the store, and my small shop owns this property, and the property valuation is also at this amount. ”

"Deal", An Feng replied without changing his face.

Helen hesitated a little again: "However, to increase the purchase, I am afraid that we will have to increase the number of employees, this town is really ...... Can't hire anyone. ”

An Feng pointed at Argyle: "My bodyguard Argyle can earn a part-time salary, he sends me to school every day, picks me up from school, and the rest of the time can only be in a daze, just right, help you carry the goods in the store, and clean and take care of the shelves by the way." ”

"Buybacks allowed?" Mrs. Helen confirmed.

"We can write this into the agreement," An Feng comforted, "I am a student, and it is impossible to hold your shares for a long time." Investing in this small shop is not wanting others to make my money, and ...... Reasonable tax avoidance. Of course, with Argyle, Mrs. Helen has more freedom, such as you can go out during work hours and retrace the path you walked with your husband, and the shop can be left to Argyle to take care of. My partner is a bit silly, but it's okay to take care of a small shop. ”

"Well", Lady Helen's expression struggled slightly, "I agree with your suggestion. ”

"This is the goods I need", An Feng immediately handed over a thick stack of paper, and said lightly: "I can't predict my consumption now, but I hope that the first purchase, you can purchase two copies, one I buy, and one left in the store." In the future, whenever the store sold out of the shares, ask Mrs. Helen to replenish the stock immediately...... Oh, and I can lend my car to Argyle, and there's nowhere to park at school anyway. In this way, from now on, Madame can also provide delivery services. ”

Mrs. Helen immediately laughed: "No, Iguaçu, I have a car." Deliver goods in a Humvee, and the money earned is not enough to pay for gas. ”

An Feng also relaxed, and said with a smile: "Madam, Argyle is very tall and ...... in general."

Mrs. Helen's eyes flashed, she shook her head, and suggested: "Then use a bicycle, Atlantic Town is not big, and it is fuel-efficient to use a bicycle." Otherwise...... A car that can accommodate Argyle must be specially built, and it is not fuel-efficient. ”

An Feng has a black line. Argyle's two-meter-two, average bicycle, is like a child's toy under his buttocks. It seems that ...... is still needed Special bicycles.

Ten minutes later, the agreement was signed. An Feng led Argyle out, and walked down the side street from the street to the end, imagining the scene of Mrs. Helen and Mr. Helen walking side by side, and whispered to Argyle: "There are almost no natives in this town, Mr. Helen is a naval officer, and it is said that he came to give lectures in the local area. Died in a car accident, five years ago. The crash took place in Detroit, where Mrs. Helen was not around at the time, and they had just been married for two years. ”

Walking to the end of the alley and walking back again, An Feng shook his head and got into his Humvee. The two walked not far from home, there was a purple-gray Aston Martin parked on the side of the road, when the car passed by, Argyle muttered "so familiar", An Feng, who had been thinking about things, suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the Hummer stopped on the side of the road with a clatter, and Aston Martin immediately got out of the Steele lawyer, he looked left and right, stretched, and said proudly: "Aha, this is the first time I have entered this magical town." ”

"The Humvee belongs to you, you go home first", An Feng jumped out of the car.

Argyle looked at the stubble Aston Martin and muttered, "It's very small." ”

Immediately, he started the car and drove away.

Steele was still looking left and right, looking curious, and when An Feng pulled him into the car, he muttered to himself: "Don't mind, this is the first time I've been so close to the heart of the CIA...... Right? ”

"This has nothing to do with the 'heart of the CIA," An Feng rolled his eyes: "This is the school." ”

"Don't tell me that, everyone in my line knows where their rivals are," said Steele, handing over a black briefcase, looking around, "I need to remember a few more faces so as not to ...... I don't know if someone else will arrest me in the future. Well, I can also go into the tavern and have a drink or two with him, and when he catches me, I can talk to him about this reunion. ”

An Feng opened the briefcase and quickly flipped through the documents, and Steele added on the side: "Diere's security company has opened, and the first business was given by Oldney to protect his beautiful chicks." You introduced Odney to the big guy, he's already well on his way into the fashion industry, and he's even made it to Hollywood, and I think he'll make a profit next month. ”

An Feng flipped through the document very quickly, and soon he turned to the end of the document. Steele glanced at An Feng's flipping through the location, and endorsed: "The guy who entrusted you with the arrest operation is really named Angus, he works as a CPO in a trust company and also opens a securities investment company. The guy he wanted to arrest was called Addison, a salesman at the Securities Investment Company.

Ten days ago, Addison disappeared, and it is said that there is a problem with the capital chain of Angus's securities company, and the problem may be with Addison. The investigation revealed that Addison may have been a professional fraudster who worked part-time at two other securities firms, which were said to have gone into financial trouble after his disappearance. But for what reason, the three companies did not disclose it to the public, probably for fear of causing panic among customers.

Angus shouldn't be short of money, and his company is not in a funding gap – that's what I'm seeing. At your orders, I met with Angus the day before yesterday and recommended him two bounty hunters, but the current arrest did not go well, and Angus insisted that you participate, and I told him that you would not have time. But Angus was willing to wait, he said Addison wouldn't stop, he would still commit the crime. He was convinced that Addison was still in New York. ”

"Let Dill be involved. His company is short of business, and when the information is almost done, it will be the New Year's holiday, and I can help them during the holiday. ”

Steele nodded in agreement, he tapped the back of his chair, and said, "Well, I'll take my leave if there's nothing to do, this place ...... I'm not coming again. This town looks normal on the surface, but the eyes of the townspeople are too sharp, I always have a feeling of being stared at by poisonous snakes, you better send me to the border of the town, my people are waiting for me at the border. ”

"Okay", An Feng started the car and walked towards the border of the town. When he arrived at the edge of the town, An Feng saw two double-row cars parked on the side of the road in a figure-eight shape, one car with the hood lifted as if it was repairing the car, and the other car seemed to be an acquaintance who was helping. But the drivers of these two cars were very leisurely, smoking and chatting against the body.

The two cars were parked just right, leaving only a road that was just passable for the body, and through the narrow road, Steele's car parked on the side of the road was seen not far away, the door was wide open, and the two bodyguards were playing baseball throwing on the side of the road. Steele crooked his mouth, turned his head to look at the driver who was repairing the car, and said, "Are they still there?" Haha, if I hadn't stopped immediately and come down and asked them for directions, I think I'd be questioned by the police right away. ”

As they spoke, the "car repairer" seemed bored, closed the hood, jumped into the car, and quickly reversed and drove away. An Feng parked the car on the side of the road 100 meters away from Steele's bodyguard, and said: "They have video facilities in the car, and your avatar will be quickly transmitted to the relevant departments for recording and analysis." ”

"Oh no," Steele blurted out, and he asked carefully, "It's going to be okay, is it?" ”

"Don't worry", An Feng comforted: "After this time, my relationship with you can be regarded as a record." If we can't hide it, we might as well make it public. As for you, are you okay...... Hehe, Yankee's laws are very cumbersome, and even the bright gangster can swagger on the streets, what is your little? You are a lawyer who is practicing normally, who dares to provoke a lawyer easily? ”

Steele smiled: "I'm fine, but you're okay - as soon as our relationship is exposed, your resume will not be innocent, and they won't accept you." ”

An Feng jumped out of the car, shook hands with Steele and said goodbye, and replied by the way: "I'm so good, I'm worried that they will hold on." You can go without worry

Steele waved goodbye.

When An Feng returned, the atmosphere of the town had changed, there were more than a dozen Iveco vans in the shape of police cars in the town, and many people in black who were obviously plainclothes were wandering around, and they looked around at passers-by with vigilant eyes.

An Feng's car drove through the street at a low speed, and when he saw Kelly hurrying through the street with a book, he greeted: "Hi, Kelly, where are you going, I'll send you." ”

Kelly stopped and immediately complimented: "What a dazzling car." ”

At this time, the black-clothed people scattered on the street had already focused their eyes on An Feng, and Kelly jumped into the car and greeted: "me...... Get out of here, go anywhere, and come back in thirty minutes. ”

An Feng started the car without saying a word, and asked as he walked towards his house: "What happened?" ”

Kelly yelled at the black Iveco on the side of the road, "They're from your academy." ”

An Feng turned the steering wheel calmly and said casually: "At this time...... Let's go to my rental house. The house I rented was on the outskirts of town, just away from them. Well, does this happen often? I ask, "There are always such ...... who are close to the enemy." Plainclothes, come to school? ”

Kelly nodded: "Recently, it is often rumored in the school that Professor Tom of your department has made a major breakthrough in research, and this research is commissioned by the military, so it is most likely that a large group of people will come to accept it." You're so lucky, as soon as you enter the department, your tutor became famous. ”

"Will it be famous?" An Feng smiled: "The military's research is often confidential, and I'm afraid it won't be announced to the public." ”

As he was talking, An Feng's phone rang, and Dr. Tom yelled on the phone: "I know where you are, have you completed all the admission procedures?" Access cards, passes, student IDs, etc.? ”

"Doctor, it's all done."

"Come to the department right away - we have an early start of classes"
