"Boss, are you a little overprotective?" asked Jesse as he sat in the cab eating a hot dog from a roadside stall and didn't look back.

"Excessive protectiveness, how can you have such an idea?" Zhang Cheng asked with a smirk.

"Isn't it? You must know that Elizabeth just changed to a slightly worse public school, and you came to take a look, and I guess my parents didn't care so much about me when I was in school. Jesse explained with a look of envy and hatred.

Through the rearview mirror, Zhang Cheng saw the expression on the face of this somewhat neurotic girl, chuckled and waved his hand: "No, of course not." Do you think I'm protecting Elizabeth? In fact, I'm just protecting the last pure land in my heart.

You know? From a psychological point of view, the more a person lacks something, the more he will crave something.

It's like a gang boss, what he most desires is usually not to take out his competitors, but to dominate somewhere.

What they really want is an ordinary life where they don't have to worry about whether they will be killed all day long, or a simple love that is mixed with any money, power and threats.

As for the reason is very simple, it is not that ordinary life and beautiful and simple love are rare and precious, but for the gang members whose hands have long been stained with blood, that is the last hope and pure land in their hearts.

Think about it, how many vicious drug lords and gang bosses in the world have a carefully cared for family behind them, or beloved lovers and relatives?

Remember, Jesse, there are almost three kinds of motivation that sustain people's lives, the first is ambition and desire, the second is the hope and spiritual sustenance I just mentioned, and the third is strong hatred.

I don't want to be a monster who lives only on the first and third motivations, it's so sad. ”

Jesse Livermore swallowed the food in his mouth and nodded thoughtfully, "I seem to understand a little." Elizabeth has what you desire, but you can never get, so protecting her is protecting the pure land and hope in your heart?"

"That's right, do you want to see me completely fall into darkness and become a madman without any scruples?" Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a dark, bloodthirsty, and crazy light.

"No! not at all!" Jesse undoubtedly sensed this, and subconsciously shuddered.

You must know that the crazy purge in the past two weeks has made her feel that many people are full of strong blood smell, and if she does this all day, I am afraid it will not be long before she will have a nervous breakdown.

As sociologists have said, although the world is dark, politics is dirty, and human nature is ugly, human beings always need a little light and hope to support themselves, even if this light and hope are false and faked.

"Alright, let's go, since Elizabeth has the ability to protect herself, there is no need for us to stay and waste time. On the outskirts of New York, my titular mother was still waiting for me on the construction site. With that, Zhang Cheng picked up his mobile phone and shook the address in the text message.

"OK! I promise you'll be there in an hour at most. Without saying a word, Jesse put his foot on the accelerator and drove straight in the direction of the highway.

After all, New York is notoriously congested, especially during rush hour, and it is common to be stuck for two or three hours, and only the highway can be slightly better.

Thankfully, it's not long after Christmas, and many people are still on annual leave, so there aren't enough cars to make people uncomfortable.

After about forty-seven or eight minutes, the two sturdy off-road vehicles finally stopped next to a busy construction site.

In a place the size of two standard stadiums, a large number of cranes and excavators are digging the foundation so fast that even the hard frozen ground in winter cannot resist the force of machinery.

It's just that when digging the foundation, a steel pillar engraved with strange symbols will be smashed in at regular intervals.

What I know is that a large-scale fully enclosed plant cultivation center will be built here, and I don't know what kind of strange art building is going to be built.

Listening to the loud noise made by the machinery, Zhang Cheng pushed the car door and took the initiative to walk down.

Before he could take a few steps, Zhang Zhi, who had been waiting for a long time, walked over with a Latino man who looked to be in his fifties and wore a hard hat, and asked with a smile, "How was Christmas?"

"Not bad! Except for the terrible weather in New York, everything else is fine. Zhang Cheng deliberately pretended to be indifferent and spread his hands.

Ever since he learned that the seemingly shrewd and capable mother in front of him had secretly hidden a terrible desire for control, he subconsciously forced himself to be more vigilant.

"Yes, I thought you weren't happy with the Christmas present I gave you. Zhang Zhi teased meaningfully.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly responded with a smile: "How come! In my eyes, that twenty-five percent of the original shares are the best Christmas gift." ”

"It's good to understand. When the strong mother heard this, a look of satisfaction appeared on her face. "Come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Martin, who is in charge of construction, and he has a lot of questions about construction that he wants to discuss with you face-to-face, after all, you have made a lot of strange requests. ”

"Hello! Mr. Zhang. The Mexican, who is in his fifties, offered to hold out his right hand.

"Hello, Mr. Martin. ”

Out of politeness, Zhang Cheng also stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other party, followed by a straightforward question: "Is there anything you don't understand about the construction?"

"Yes, sir. The old man named Martin hurriedly spread out the drawings in his hand and pointed at several key points: "I don't understand, why do you want to smash those iron pillars engraved with mysterious symbols into the foundation? If I could, I would like to see them removed, so that we would have at least three million to five million dollars left in the budget. ”

"No, no. They are the most critical part of this building and cannot be removed in any way. In addition, I asked that the steel plates and pipes embedded in the walls should not be altered in the slightest, otherwise the whole building would lose its purpose. Zhang Cheng gave a negative answer without thinking.

These things are the most important thing to support the Pang magic structure, not to mention canceling a certain part, even if there are a few flaws in the construction, it will cause the entire huge arcane garden to fail to start.

Of course, he can fix small flaws one by one through elimination, but if there is a problem with the main structure, God can't save it.

"Can't move at all?" Martin's eyes widened in disbelief.

As a Latino construction engineer who immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico, this was the first time he met an employer who was unwilling to cut construction costs.

"Not at all, not only can't it be moved, but also the quality must be guaranteed, and it is worth the ...... no matter how much money you spend."
