Chapter 278: Robbery
Seeing Helen's excited appearance, Simon said to Zuo Jiang very sincerely: "Thank you, Zuo Shao!" This is the most beautiful wedding gift I have ever received! When he was in Songjiang, Simon heard people in the company call Zuo Jiang Zuo Shao, and felt that this title was very smooth and could also express respect, so he called Zuo Shao with everyone.
"Left less?" Jenny repeated in amazement. She looked at Simon very suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Simon, why do you call my boss Zuo Shao?" ”
Simon laughed and said, "That's what everyone called him when I was in China, and that's what I called him." ”
Jenny turned to Zuo Jiang and said, "My boss, can I call you that too?" ”
Zuo Jiang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said indifferently, "Whatever you want, Miss Jenny!" ”
Helen came over to Zuo Jiang at this time and said, "Zuo Shao, thank you for the gift, I like it very much!" It seemed very natural for her to call Zuo Shao.
Jenny went to Simon's company's finance department to check the company's operations, Zuo Jiang and Simon were chatting in the office, and Helen pulled Taufei to talk enthusiastically on the side, although Taufei's English was still a little hot, but slowly said that the communication with Helen was no problem, seeing that the two were discussing very enthusiastically, Zuo Jiang eavesdropped on it, it turned out that Helen was talking to Taufei about how their newlywed villa was. ===
Simon looked at Zuo Jiang and said very slyly: "Zuo Shao, thank you for coming to my wedding and serving as my companion!" Ever since he relayed Jenny's words from Helen that Zuo Jiang was willing to be his companion. He has been looking forward to Zuo Jiang's arrival, and he did not say that he invited Zuo Jiang to be his best man, but directly thanked him for the established facts.
Zuo Jiang was stunned for a moment before remembering that he had only said this to Jenny, and looking at Simon with a smug look, Zuo Jiang said, "Mr. Simon, when did I say that I wanted to be your best man?" ”
Simon said with a smile: "Zuo Shao, you are now the boss of a big New York consortium, you have to be trustworthy when you speak, didn't you say that Miss Jenny will be the best man for us as a bridesmaid." Now that Miss Jenny has agreed to our request, you can't go back! ”
Zuo Jiang said that, he didn't refuse Simon at all, whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had never been a best man, Chinese customs are not very particular about groomsmen and bridesmaids, but the United States is very particular, I didn't expect to be a best man for the first time is for Americans. ^^^^ it intrigued him.
Zuo Jiang smiled and said, "Mr. Simon, I have no intention of repenting, I don't know if I will be paid for being this best man!" ”
Simon looked at Zuo Jiang with a smile and said, "Is there any reward?" However, the best man is allowed to kiss the bridesmaids at the wedding! Hey, Miss Jenny is a beauty! ”
"Ahh Zuo Jiang didn't expect that there would be such a desirable etiquette for weddings in the United States, and he couldn't help but exclaim softly. He looked at Simon with a smile on his face and said, "Really? I like it! After saying that, Zuo Jiang and Simon laughed at the same time.
Helen and Taufei stopped when they heard their laughter, and Helen stepped forward and asked Simon, "Honey, what are you laughing at, so happy!" ”
Simon spread his hands and said, "Honey." You have to ask Zuo Shao this question. ”
"Humph! I don't ask, looking at the two of you on your faces, you must not have said anything good! After Helen finished speaking, she ignored Zuo Jiang and Simon, and chatted warmly with Tao Fei again. ^^^^
Helen and Taufei said that they were excited, so they took Taufei to visit their villa, Taufei was so moved by her that she wanted to see what their villa was like, Helen stood up and said, "Zuo Shao." I'll take Sister Taufi to see my new house, and I'll eat at my place in the evening, will you go with us, or will you go back to the hotel?" ”
Zuo Jiang heard that Helen didn't mean to invite him to see the new house, and he didn't know what she and Tao Fei were doing, so he smiled and said, "Don't look at the new house first, I'll wait until the day you get married." There may be an unexpected surprise. But you'll have to send my sister back in the evening! ”
Simon had also wanted to invite Zuo Jiang to his new house. As soon as he saw Zuo Jiang say this, he thought that there must be something wrong with him, so he dispelled this thought, and said to Zuo Jiang with a smile: "Zuo Shao, don't worry, we will definitely send Miss Tao Fei back to you completely in the evening!" ”
After Jenny came back and learned of this situation, she wanted to send Zuo Jiang back to the hotel in person, and it was rare to have a chance to get along with Zuo Jiang alone, but before she could speak, Helen pulled her over and asked her to accompany Tao Fei to see the new house with her. Jenny glanced at Zuo Jiang and turned to Helen and said, "What about our boss?" ”
Helen said: "Simon will be in charge of sending Zuo Shao back to the hotel!" ”
Zuo Jiang said: "None of you need to send me, I'm still familiar with New York, just I want to go to Chinatown to see, I'll just take a taxi myself!" ”
Americans are not as polite as the Chinese, and when they saw Zuo Jiang say this, they didn't say anything. After leaving the company, Jenny and Simon went to their new house in two cars, and Zuo Jiang casually hailed a taxi, and did not go to Chinatown, but went directly back to the New York Hotel.
Zuo Jiang returned to the room and saw that it was not yet 5 o'clock, so he took out the phone number from his bag and found the phone number of George's house, picked up the phone and pulled it out, and the phone rang three times and then picked up the phone: "Hey, hello, who are you looking for?" ”
When Zuo Jiang heard George's voice, he said very happily: "Uncle George, I'm Zuo Jiang, I just tried to call you, but I didn't expect you to be really home!" ”
George was also very happy when he heard that it was Zuo Jiang, and said with a smile: "I'm so happy to hear your voice, I don't know how you think of me, I can tell you, my vacation will not end until later!" George thought that Zuo Jiang was calling him to urge him to go back to China. ===
Zuo Jiang laughed out loud when he heard this: "Uncle George, I'm not urging you to go back to Tongjiangdi, I'm here to attend Mr. Simon's wedding in New York, and I want to go over to see you tomorrow, so I have to call first, otherwise what if I go tomorrow and you are not at home?" ”
"What, you're in New York?" George was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "When will you arrive in New York, why don't you inform me in advance, I can pick you up at the airport!" ”
Zuo Jiang said: "Uncle George, I arrived in New York yesterday, and it was Miss Jenny, the general manager of the company, who picked us up, and I will deal with the company's affairs today, and I will go to Jersey City tomorrow to see you, Aunt Stephens and the Harvey brothers are okay?" ”
George smiled and said, "Thank you for your greetings, they are all right, Stephens and Harvey still talk about you often, they will be happy to know that you are here!" Speaking of this, George suddenly thought that Zuo Jiang was talking about "we", so he asked, "Zuo Shao, who else came to New York with you?" "For Zuo Shao's title, George was infected by Li Biyu and Zhou Jiancheng.
Zuo Jiang said: "I came with my sister Tao Fei, and we will visit you together tomorrow." ”
"Good, good! On behalf of our family, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you! George was even more glad to hear that Tao Fei was also coming, and he said, "Tomorrow I will personally go down to the kitchen to entertain you, and let Miss Tao taste my craft!" ”
Zuo Jiang said: "Okay, Uncle George, we have decided like this, see you tomorrow!" ”
Zuo Jiang put down the phone and looked at the time, and unconsciously chatted with George for more than half an hour, at this time he felt a little hungry, thought about it, put on his coat, went out of the room and went downstairs to eat.
After eating in the French restaurant, the sky outside had darkened, Zuo Jiang suddenly wanted to smoke, subconsciously touched his jacket pocket, he didn't bring any cigarettes to the United States this time, and he hadn't smoked for a long time, he thought about taking the elevator down to the first floor, and there were cigarettes for sale in the hall on the first floor, but Zuo Jiang didn't buy them in this hotel, but walked out of the hotel, and he wanted to take a look at the night view of New York by the way.
After walking two streets, there was no current market in Zuojiang, and he thought that those small markets would not open on the main street, so he turned to the side street, and looked at the signs of the shops as he walked, hoping to find a market.
At the corner of the side street leading to the back street, Zuojiang finally appeared a small market, so he pushed open the door and walked in, the small market is not big, more than 20 square meters of space is full of shelves, and the shelves are full of foreign goods. The business of the small market is very deserted, the owner is an aunt in her 50s, standing at the cashier at the door and looking at the only customer in the market, a young man in his 20s, the young man Jin carried a lot of things and walked to the door to prepare for the checkout. Zuo Jiang searched between the shelves for the cigarettes he needed.
Suddenly, two men with stockings on their heads rushed in from outside the city, wielding long sharp knives in their hands, and as soon as they came in, they forced the shopkeeper's aunt with knives, and said viciously: "Don't move, robbery!" ”
As soon as the aunt was forced by the knife, she suddenly trembled with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't move, I don't move!" Take whatever you want! ”
The young man Jin was just finishing the account and took out the wallet to make the payment, but another robber closed the door of the store and forced him with a knife, saying, "Don't move, give me the wallet in your hand!" ”
The robbers came suddenly, Zuo Jiang felt a little unreal when he looked at this scene, the robbers in New York were too bold, right, they dared to rob openly before it was dark?
