"Audience friends, good evening, now broadcast a current political news, in recent years, the economy has been sluggish, Wall Street's Morgan chaebol, DuPont consortium and Rockefeller oil king's banks, insurance industry and so on have suffered a huge impact, citizens are facing a huge risk of unemployment, the presidential election is coming, how to solve the problem of unemployment, will be a huge test for the presidential candidates......

Wang Zhuo was lying on the bed in the bedroom, flipping through a sports magazine in his hand, the LCD screen on the opposite wall broadcast the latest current affairs in the United States, and a well-dressed female news reporter broadcast a brief message.

The picture shows the Chinatown of Manhattan in New York City, where many Chinese people poured into the streets to protest against the company's racial discrimination, and although the shot was short, Wang Zhuo still captured a familiar face, and some almost forgotten memory fragments in his mind gradually gathered to form a memory picture.

The original owner of this body used to be in New York's Chinatown, when he was poor, he often received help and assistance from Chinese, and that familiar face was a Chinese who had helped him, Wang Zhuo remembered that his name was Jiao Qiming, who ran a small Chinese restaurant in Chinatown and worked part-time as an insurance salesman.

Jiao Qiming's family of four lives in a rented room of more than 50 square meters, although they work two jobs, but life is still very poor, Jiao Qiming's wife is surnamed Qin, Wang Zhuo has always called her Qin's sister-in-law, treat people kindly, not only helped Wang Zhuo financially, but also often persuaded him to stay away from gambling and work steadfastly.

Sister-in-law Qin is thrifty, in order to save expenses, she usually takes care of the restaurant by herself, and is also responsible for picking up her son and daughter to school.

In addition to Jiao Qiming, Wang Zhuo can also think of the amiable Aunt Liu, the honest and honest Uncle Li, although Wang Zhuo is idle, but these people have never discriminated against him, because for people living at the bottom, they have always been discriminated against by others, so they will not look at their relatives with the same ancestry.

These scenes came to Wang Zhuo's mind one by one, and he decided to do something, and the Chinese said: "If you don't return home, it's equivalent to walking at night!" In the past, Wang Zhuo had no financial strength and couldn't help, but now in addition to the head coach's salary, plus advertising endorsements, he also earns millions of dollars a year, so he decided to help those good people who have helped him.

The next day, Wang Zhuo rented a second-hand Chevrolet car and did not drive his newly purchased Mercedes-Benz SUV.

Wang Zhuo also carried Lin Yao, originally Wang Zhuo just asked casually, who knew that Lin Yao insisted on going, and also collected some exquisite gifts to give to Qin's sister-in-law's children, seeing that Lin Yao was so enthusiastic, Wang Zhuo couldn't ruin her interest.

"Wang Zhuo, did you live in Chinatown before? I don't seem to hear you talk about the past. ”

On the way, Lin Yao said the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.

"Yes, once upon a time, he was just an idle gambler and a gangster, with a three-point line between home, casino, and police station, what can you say?"

Wang Zhuo replied, the language simple and clear, with a hint of self-deprecating humor.

Without saying a word, Wang Zhuo drove through Manhattan for nearly an hour to Chinatown, located in the lower town at the southern end of Manhattan, which is close to Wall Street and close to the Broadway Art Center.

Wang Zhuo stopped the car and bought a few gifts, at this time the procession in Chinatown has dispersed, it seems that it has still attracted the attention of the government departments, after all, the presidential election is imminent, if the people's mood is not calmed, I am afraid that the other party will seize the handle and forcibly buckle a hat of inaction, which will be greatly detrimental to the campaign.

Wang Zhuo stopped in front of a restaurant called "Jiao Ji Cuisine", pushed the car door, and saw through the glass sliding door that Qin's sister-in-law wearing an apron was wiping the table in the restaurant.

"Sister-in-law Qin."

Wang Zhuo pushed open the door and saw that the restaurant was still the same, the space was narrow and simple, there were only a few green wood square tables, and four chairs were placed on either side of each square table, Wang Zhuo knocked on the glass door lightly and shouted.

"Who are you?"

Sister-in-law Qin raised her head and looked at Wang Zhuo and Lin Yao who were following him suspiciously, but she didn't recognize them for a while, and thought it was an old diner, holding the menu in her hand and hesitating whether to send it or not.

"I'm Wang Zhuo, the one who often eats and doesn't give money."

In fact, I don't blame Sister-in-law Qin, in addition to retaining her original appearance, the current Wang Zhuo is completely different from before in terms of clothing and spirit, Wang Zhuo put the gift in his hand on the Aoki square table, and explained with a smile.

"Wang Zhuo? What are you doing here? ”

At this time, Jiao Qiming appeared at the door of the kitchen and saw Wang Zhuo with a capital surprise.

"Come on, come on, sit down, I watched the Knicks game on TV, I couldn't believe it at first, but then I watched the news to know that it was true, you are a celebrity now, the pride of our Chinatown to go out!"

Can't Wang Zhuo speak, Jiao Qiming has already stepped forward, pulled Wang Zhuo to sit down, couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and said.

"Wang Zhuo, I remembered, I heard Qiming speak, now there is a future, look at me, I don't see it, you talk first, I'll make tea."

Sister-in-law Qin recognized it at this time, hurriedly wiped the green wood square table in front of Wang Zhuo, and then turned around and ran into the kitchen in a panic.

"Brother Qin, it's a bit exaggerated, that is, a job with a little more brains and a higher salary, don't mention it, I read the news that the unemployment rate has skyrocketed recently, what's the situation?"

Wang Zhuo looked at Sister-in-law Qin's back, felt that she hadn't changed at all, turned his head, looked at Jiao Qiming, and asked.

"I said at the time, don't look at your kid who doesn't do his job, but it's definitely not a thing in the pool, no, it's skyrocketing, hey, the recent economic situation is not good, many companies are laying off employees, of course, it is affected by us Chinese with no background, it's hard to say, forget it, don't talk about it, let's have a drink today!"

Jiao Qiming patted Wang Zhuo's shoulder, his eyes were full of appreciation, and finally he wanted to get up to get the wine and glass, but was stopped by Wang Zhuo.

"Wang Zhuo, drink tea quickly, you know, there is no good tea in a small shop, don't dislike it, this is your girlfriend, right? It's beautiful! ”

At this time, Sister-in-law Qin came out of the kitchen with a kettle, put three teacups, poured tea, and of course did not forget to praise Lin Yao, in her opinion, the two must be a couple, so she asked without the slightest scruples.
