Chapter 135: Good Father Old Memories
"Should I say that it really deserves to be the biggest spy organization, and it actually pushed Ambrera to this level so quickly!" Zhou Yi raised the sign and raised the price of the goods being auctioned. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info said casually.
Coulson only smiled implicitly. "They have too many problems of their own, expose them a little bit, and put a little more pressure on the European side. It will soon put some investors off. These problems pile up, and it is almost certain that there will be problems in the capital chain. ”
"Isn't it easy for us to make him uncomfortable for a while?"
How much influence S.H.I.E.L.D. has in this world can be known from this matter. A large multinational corporation is in trouble almost unknowingly. This is enough to make anyone face him.
He may not be as powerful as those who destroy the world, but his latent energy is enough to image more than that. It's a swarm society, and they're far more powerful than any other superpower.
"Contact me directly when you're ready, I should be free lately." directly raised the price to the point of two million US dollars, and Zhou Yi took Aretha and prepared to leave. He's already spent almost $5 million here this time, which is more than enough for charity.
Coulson blinked quietly, but did not say goodbye to Zhou Yi. He is still playing a strange guest, and if he has too much negotiation with Zhou Yi, it will only attract the attention of some caring people. That's not a good thing for them to work together.
After saying goodbye to Director Stacy, Zhou Yi drove away with Aretha.
On the way, he glanced at Aretha, who was a little listless, and slowed down slightly. At the same time, he lowered his head and asked.
"Sorry, dear. Bringing you to such a boring place. ”
"It's okay, Dad." Aretha looked up, a forced smile on her cute little face. "I'm just feeling a little tired."
Aretha, who has been frozen for several years, has long had a vague memory of her childhood, and it is precisely because of this that she was able to accept Zhou Yi as her father so quickly. For her, in fact, Zhou Yi is just a role to fill the vacancy in her heart.
Gently rubbing the long black hair of this poor girl, Zhou Yi felt a little guilty. He was only thinking about the plan, ignoring the psychology of this child. Nothing was clearly right for her tonight, especially if they weren't really father and daughter yet.
"Sorry, dear. I promise it won't be like this in the future. He began to solemnly promise that if he was not a good father before, then he would develop in the direction of a good father now and in the future. Since you have chosen to take this responsibility, you must bear this responsibility to the end no matter what.
And it is not easy to be a qualified father, let alone a good father.
Looking at the forced smile on Aretha's face, Zhou Yi thought for a moment before asking.
"Honey, if I send you to school, do you think it would be better than having a teacher at home?"
"School?" Aretha, who had been forced to endure a tragic fate before school age, had a natural yearning for the term, perhaps the thing she longed for most before anything else happened. "Really, Daddy!"
"Sure, but you may have to wait a few days. You know, there is a lot of homework between children of Nick's age, maybe you should ask Serana to give you some tutoring. ”
"No problem!" Aretha, who had become energetic in an instant, replied immediately. "I'll go find Serana and ask her for help!"
"Oh, really? Aren't you afraid that Serana will bite you? Seeing the girl's reaction, Zhou Yi joked about Aressa's troubles in a timely manner. Ever since watching a movie about vampires, Aretha has become so terrified of Serana that she even asks to turn on the lights when she goes to bed at night to prevent Serrana from sneaking up in the dark to suck her blood.
"I'm not afraid of her, and she won't really bite me?" Aretha puffed out her mouth and retorted, but she quickly hesitated to ask. "Will she bite me?"
"I don't know." Shrugging his shoulders, Zhou Yi began to be alarmist. "Maybe you should ask Serana yourself and see if she has a young girl in her recipe."
Aretha immediately had a scared look on her face. Being alone with Serana at night was a huge psychological challenge for her. What to do, the girl who can't tell the difference between jokes and the truth is caught in her own little entanglement.
And looking at the appearance of his adopted daughter, Zhou Yi immediately smiled inexplicably in his heart. At this time, he suddenly regained the feeling of teasing Xia Ruisi when he was a child, and the two of them spent a frightened night in a ghost story they made up.
The car drove smoothly all the way, and soon it was near Queens. Looking at the somewhat familiar streets around him, Zhou Yi suddenly remembered when he first came to New York.
At that time, he once got the first cheerleader he met in New York at a cold drink shop on this street. Of course, they also broke up quickly.
With a casual turn, he quickly spotted the old-looking sign. It was a little surprising to him, it was a bit of a surprise that a cold drink shop next to the most chaotic speakeasy could be open for so long. However, it may also have something to do with the craftsmanship of the owner of the cold drink shop.
At that time, there were many girls who liked to stay here all day, just to taste the boss's unique snacks and ice cream.
Parking the car on the side of the road, Zhou Yi asked the girl who was still struggling.
"Honey, would you like some more ice cream and dessert? Vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate? ”
Hearing the ice cream and desserts, Aretha immediately let go of the little tangles in her heart. She simply didn't have the slightest resistance to this kind of thing.
"Strawberry flavored, I want sweet jam and beautiful strawberries!"
"At your service, my dear little princess." opened the car door, and Zhou Yi didn't forget to tell the girl. "Stay in the car. Don't just walk around, and don't talk to strangers. ”
It wasn't until he saw Aretha nodding obediently that he left with confidence. As a new father to join the ranks, he always had some uneasiness. This is a common problem of parenthood.
Although the cold drink shop is not open 24 hours a day, it is usually open until late because of the bar nearby. And now, it's far from closing time.
Just like more than a decade ago, the boss is still the same person. Although he looks much older, he is still in good spirits and has a passion for each customer.
He didn't care about the expensive suit that Zhou Yi had in his life and was incompatible with this kind of small shop, and said in a warm tone with a thick French accent as always.
"Welcome, dear guest. Is there anything I can help you with? ”
"Of course, please give me a strawberry ice cream and the best strawberry cake. Also, please give me another hot cocoa. Although more than ten years have passed, Zhou Yi is still familiar with this place. For him, this is also a part of his youth. Although this part seems somewhat absurd and ridiculous now. But as the capital of memories, it is always impossible to give up.
A large part of the reason why the owner has been able to survive more than 10 years of wind and rain is that everything is handmade by him. This limited his size, but it also allowed him to retain the hearts of more customers. Especially when his craft is still very good.
While skillfully making exquisite dim sum, he chatted with Zhou Yi.
"This gentleman seems familiar with me here, but I beg your pardon. I really have a vague impression of you. ”
"When I was in high school, I used to bring girls here, but I haven't been here for a long time. I remember at that time, it seemed like it had just opened. ”
"Oh, that's been almost ten years. I want to be impressed by what you say. At that time, sir, you seemed to bring a blonde lady to the shop. ”
"You have a really good memory, most people don't remember the customers in their store more than ten years ago." Listening to the boss's memories, Zhou Yi began to admire. And this also made the boss very proud, which made him find a sense of youth.
"You know, there weren't many high school students at that time who could ride a Harley-Davidson and carry a beautiful girl. Is that your daughter? Are you already married to that beautiful girl? ”
"Aretha is my daughter, but the girl probably didn't know me anymore."
"Oh, I see. This is how youth, especially men, always have a good memory. The boss made a look that I understood, and put the packaged snacks and drinks in front of Zhou Yi.
"It's a pleasure to meet regular customers like you, who only pay for your snacks, drinks and ice cream. I hope you don't mind. It's nothing to you though! The boss said this, and nodded at Bentley, who was parked outside the door. But it was just a little bit of my heart for the little princess in the car. ”
Looking at Aressa, who was lying on the car window and looking a little salivating, Zhou Yi smiled a little dumbly. He paid for the refreshments, but there was nothing else to force him to excuse himself. This is a piece of people's minds, and there is no need to calculate it so clearly.
"Thank you, boss. Good luck with your business! ”
"Have a good day, sir. I look forward to seeing you next. The boss smiled and said goodbye to Zhou Yi and sent his blessings. This is the survival of this simple man, and it is precisely because of this that he can make so many people remember him.
Seeing Zhou Yi walk back with dessert, Aretha couldn't wait to roll down the car window. Whether it is a woman or a child, the resistance to this kind of thing is very small. As for the little girl, the resistance has directly become negative.
handed the cake to Aretha through the car window, and Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to drive. He looked at Aretha as she was eating with a spoon in her hand, and stood outside the car and lit a cigarette.
Ever since she had a child at home, Serana has been implementing an anti-smoking campaign at home on the grounds that it will affect Aretha's development. Zhou Yi couldn't refute anything for this reason, so he had to put the hobby of smoking outside.
Like now, it's a good time to smoke and pass the time. However, a gunshot interrupted his rare leisure.
On the street across from him, an old man fell to the ground clutching his stomach, and two guys who looked panicked ran quickly towards this side of the street. It seemed that they were trying to grab the car and escape, and Zhou Yi, the guy with the car door wide open, became their target.
A tall Mexican man came up and pointed the pistol in his hand directly at Zhou Yi, and he shouted while beckoning his panicked companion.
"Get out of the way, you yellow-skinned monkey. Otherwise, be careful that your head blooms. ”
"You're really unlucky." Zhou Yi put the hot cocoa in his hand on the roof of the car, and looked at the two guys with playful eyes while spitting smoke rings.
"What the hell are you talking about, are you looking for death?" Relying on the pistol in his hand, he walked up directly, as if he wanted to put the muzzle of the gun more directly against Zhou Yi.
But as soon as he took two steps, he found that Zhou Yi's whole person was pasted. This sudden action made him subconsciously want to shoot, but he couldn't pull the trigger on his finger. took a closer look, but found that the guy on the opposite side actually stretched out his hand directly and stuck the gap between the triggers with his thumb.
Without room to move, shooting with a pistol becomes empty talk. The Mexican man still wanted to snatch back the pistol, but Zhou Yi had already slapped him on the jaw.
Although the strength is not large, it is enough to make a normal person unconscious. As for whether he will have symptoms such as concussion, it has nothing to do with Zhou Yi.
Seeing that Zhou Yi got his partner in an instant, he even snatched his gun. The other guy had obviously lost the courage to step forward, especially after seeing that someone around him had already started to make calls, and he didn't look back and ran towards the alley between the streets.
He knew in his heart that the police would come soon. It was only in this kind of alley that he had a chance to escape.
Ignoring the escaped thief, Zhou Yi turned back to Aretha and said stay here and don't move, and ran towards the other side of the street. He didn't forget the old man who was shot, and it was more important to save people than chasing a thief.
"Are you alright, how are you feeling?" The old man lay on the ground, black blood beginning to soak through his shirt. It can be seen that the condition of the old man is very serious. But Zhou Yi still pretended to be concerned and asked.
This is nonsense for him. Because under the effect of super vision, he has seen clearly the situation in this old man's body.
In a way, it's hopeless. The bullet pierced the internal organs, causing considerable internal bleeding. There can be no hope unless you can be treated immediately with cutting-edge medicine. But looking at the old man's clothes, he knew that he could not enjoy this kind of treatment.
However, he was able to enjoy the benefits of the gods, which were not necessarily enjoyed by the richest of the best.
