Chapter 332: Housewives
Leaving the Lakers' training hall, Zhen Fan drove directly back to his residence, and he will also follow the requirements of talking with Amy Cook, and do his best to let Charles sign an agreement with them, Zhen Fan will hand over his bottom line to Charles, as for how much money they will give, Zhen Fan will also hand it over to Charles to fight for.
Pete Howard is an anxious man, and when Zhen Fan returned home, he called and asked Zhen Fan to check his account and say that the money had been transferred. Zhen Fan went online, entered his account, checked, and sure enough, there were nine million dollars more, it seems that Howard is still a trustworthy person, and he is very straightforward.
If the Lakers' treatment fee of $2 million arrives, he will already receive $11 million. This is also a lot of money for Zhen Fan now. Although his current H.C.D. income is also very large, it is only 23 million so far, and this is not the money invested in the vineyard, of course.
If you add this 10 million, you already have 33 million dollars in your account now, which is not very rich in the United States, and you can't afford to buy a jet private jet like Johnny, or a super luxury yacht like Bit, or even tens of millions of dollars to buy a luxury villa on the top of a hill in Billy Buddha Village, so this amount of money is nothing even for Hollywood star directors like Bit.
Even Christine has tens of millions of dollars a year, of course, this is not pure income, this is her and her team's, and all kinds of taxes have to be removed. The United States taxes such people heavily. But despite this, her current annual income is more than Zhen Fan's. Of course, after the wine business and the business of opening a clinic in Billy Foshan. It's a different story.
"Nine million dollars!" Although this is still a number on an account, Zhen Fan still couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and said happily to Mia. "We need to celebrate, and today we made a fortune."
"Nine million dollars? Was it Howard's bet on you? Obviously, Mia already knew about this, and she also felt the joy of Zhen Fan, and was very happy, "I really need to celebrate, I'm going to buy groceries, do you want to invite Anne's family and Raymond's family?" ”
"Of course. We can share it together! It's just that...... Don't talk about how much money I make, that's cheesy, just say a party. Gatherings between neighbors. Zhen Fan reminded with a smile, "Forget it, I'll invite you, you go and prepare the dishes." I'll take care of the rest! ”
"Got it!" Mia nodded. Then I drove Zhen Fan's extended version of Escalade to buy groceries. Driving a Cadillac muscle car to buy groceries is really luxurious.
In order to show his sincerity, Zhen Fan also went to their house one by one to invite. Anne didn't say anything, she happily agreed, Claire hadn't come home at this time, otherwise this pestering little guy would definitely rush out, and then stick to Zhen Fan like a vine.
Raymond was not at home, but Angela, who was Lady Raymond, agreed. She was the only one in the family, and Vera and Brenda were still in school.
The dinner was done by Zhen Fan and Mia. It's very hearty, Mia and Zhen Fan are both masters of cooking, so without looking at the menu, you know that this dinner is definitely very tempting, not to mention that they are both neighbors, and it is destined to be a very pleasant dinner, unforgettable.
By about six o'clock, the neighbors had arrived, Anne and Claire first, and Anne wanted to see if there was anything she could do to help. And she also brought a small dessert that she had prepared.
The Raymonds also arrived a quarter past six. The two families sat in Zhen Fan's living room, Anne and Angela went to the kitchen, they had a lot to say in the kitchen, and the gossip between women was just like many housewives in American dramas, with their own small circles.
Now Anne and Angela have the idea that they want to build their own clique, which must include themselves first, and then Mia.
In the eyes of Anne and Angela, Mia is far more accessible than Christine. The first reason is that because Christine is a star, these two women can't help but feel alienated from her, which is the alienation between celebrities and ordinary people, and has nothing to do with people's personalities.
And then there's Mia, a woman who is more like a housewife at home. She is mature and charming, and she also knows how to take care of the house, she can cook very good meals, and she can tidy up the house, which is what housewives do. And Christine knows almost nothing, can't cook, can't clean the house.
When she was there, Zhen Fan was cleaning the house, and Zhen Fan was cooking. In addition, the housekeeping service staff was called to clean up, and those nannies who were five big and three rough had some rough jokes in their mouths, in addition to cleaning very roughly, and the salary was still very high.
"Do you think it's possible for Zhen Fan to marry Christine?" Angela provoked the topic in the first place.
Mia just smiled slightly: "Why not?" Zhen and her are boyfriend and girlfriend, and it is not unusual that they are likely to develop in this direction. Why do you ask? Mia also asked knowingly, she knew Angela's intention to ask like this, she was just pretending to be confused.
"You're too weak!" Angela shook her head and said.
"Who isn't?" Mia concentrated on chopping vegetables and replied casually.
"By the way, Annie, do you want to find another one?" Angela couldn't stay idle, and turned her attention to Anne again, "I know a dentist who is not bad, do you want to meet him?" I'll draw you a thread. I think it's a bit too bitter to live alone. Why can't we women accommodate ourselves and have to live like this? ”
"No, I haven't thought about it yet, maybe one day, but...... Definitely not now, thank you, Angela, besides, do you promise that you won't take your money when you go to him in the future? I hate the dentist, he almost put me in debt before, so ...... Don't mention the dentist in front of me in the future! ”
"Haha, yes, I hate him too, though...... I'm definitely not saying this to embarrass you! Angela laughed too, "The last time I went, he was still flirting with me...... However, he is really handsome......"
The women were whispering in the kitchen, and Zhen Fan and Raymond were talking about some topics of interest to men, such as Raymond was talking about golf to Zhen Fan.
"My best result was a 65." Raymond is bragging. It is clear that he compares his results to those of the pros.
"Sixty-five? Wow – very good results! Zhen Fan pretended to exaggerate and whistled, and then pretended to be very surprised, in fact, he didn't understand the rules of golf at all, as for how to calculate the score and the number of points, he basically didn't understand.
"Stop bragging!" In the end, when Raymond's baby daughter Brenda was sitting on the side playing games, she couldn't listen anymore, so she had to stop and make an exaggerated tone to Zhen Fan, "He has at least halved his score, that's the truth!" After saying that, he turned his head again and began to play a game with his sister Vera, while Claire lay on the ground with her chin on her back and watched the two of them play quietly.
Raymond felt embarrassed instantly, he coughed dryly, and then smiled at Zhen Fan: "Okay, what she said is not all the truth, at least I have played par." No...... It's a little bit more than par and that's it, I'm not a pro and that's very true, so ...... It's normal to hit that kind of stroke. ”
"I don't mean to laugh at you, Raymond, but actually what I'm best at is fishing." Zhen Fan held back a smile, "Do you know how big the biggest fish I caught is?" ”
"How old?" Raymond looked at Zhen Fan and looked very expectant.
"A sea bass that is one and a half meters long weighs one hundred and ninety-eight pounds. It was the first fish I caught since I came to America, but it was so big that we could barely keep it alone. Zhen Fan shook his head, then looked at Raymond with a smile on his face, "My fishing experience has come from this once, here." But it was perfect. ”
"How do I know that you didn't brag?" At this time, Brenda interjected at the right time, she winked at Zhen Fan, with a deliberate intention to make it bad, and an expression of looking at you and me.
"Well, I can prove that it's not bragging, do you want to know how I can prove it?" Zhen Fan said, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, then rummaged through it, tapped the screen, and then handed it to Raymond, "This photo can prove it!" ”
This is a photo of Zhen Fan holding a sea bass, and a photo of the sea bass in the bar. Obviously, this photo can't be faked.
"I'll see!" Brenda snatched Zhen Fan's mobile phone, then looked at it, shrugged his shoulders and handed it to Zhen Fan, "Okay, you caught this fish, but ...... How can this be? After that, he ignored him and went to play games with Vera.
"I've never caught a fish this big!" Raymond was a little embarrassed again, "To be honest, Zhen, I envy you very much, you have such good luck for the first time." I've been dropping fish for over twenty years, oh my god, it's not fair! ”
"Don't be frustrated, we can still fish together!" Zhen Fan smiled, "We can make an appointment, can't we?" Zhen Fan patted him on the shoulder.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, dinner is ready, come here!" Angela's voice came from the kitchen, and it was clear that although the three women were busy chatting, they were clever, so the dinner was prepared quickly.
"I'm going to get the wine!" Zhen Fan spoke, then got up and went to the bar to take down a bottle of wine, a bottle of fruit wine he specially brewed, the degree is relatively low, but it is a wine that has been repeatedly brewed by his internal breath, exceeding all the low and high H.C.D. he sells, the quantity is very small, only some are kept privately by himself, and he will not give it to anyone.
