Chapter 161 Christmas Eve, Chance Encounter with Peers (5 more)
Selena: "But...... She doesn't go home for the holidays? ”
Luke shrugged: "You know, after many children are released from home, their hearts are wild, and it is not strange that they will never return. Shimena said she wanted to stay here a little longer and see if there were any opportunities. ”
Selena: "She wants to be a star?" ”
Luke: "No, her ambition has changed now, it is said that there is someone in the company...... Well, Gilero's female senior executives inspired her to see if she could do the same in finance. ”
Selena: "...... Is she drunk? Aren't all those who play finance those who come out of Ivy League schools? Did she pass math in high school? ”
Luke still agrees with this in his heart, of course, those who play finance must be sensitive to numbers, otherwise it will be difficult to play finance.
With Ximena's mathematical talent, it is estimated that she will not become an elite in playing finance in this life.
He could only say: "She is still young, she wants to try this path, no one can stop her, this is her freedom." ”
Selena listened, and was silent.
When it comes to life choices and future planning, she's really not qualified to dictate to Ximena, not even Luke.
At best, they can advise, they can advise, but they can't force Ximena to accept their views and opinions.
Selena was silent for a moment before she said, "So where are you going with her for Christmas?" First of all, it's okay not to bring her here to roll the sheets, that will make me very upset. ”
Luke laughed, "Where do you want to go?" Zhongfu Company was going to hold an internal cocktail party on Christmas Eve, and Ximena, as an intern, was also qualified to enter. Well, well, it's actually going to take care of chores, like serving dishes and delivering wine and stuff. Of course, she didn't do it and no one said anything, but her idea of interning at that company for a while was not easy to achieve. So...... You know. ”
Selena was speechless for a moment: "Then how do you get in?" ”
Luke's face was full of righteousness: "As a member of the Los Angeles Police Department, I have the responsibility to patrol around for the safety of the general public during this universal holiday, and I don't need to say thank you, because I am volunteering to work overtime." ”
Selena:......
She also felt that she had asked a stupid question, so she could only pout and sulk on the side.
It's so sad to have to watch TV at home alone on Christmas Eve.
Luke smiled: "Don't be angry, I'll prepare your lunch and dinner tomorrow, you just need to take it out and heat it up, and you can eat it, there is the steak you want to eat." ”
Selena nodded listlessly, as if she had been hit hard.
Luke couldn't help it.
He's a normal man, he's been separated from Ximena for half a year, and he's never been like that.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't find the right person and the right time, unless he puts Selena to sleep.
But he didn't want the relationship between the two to change into a relationship between men and women.
Just like it's better for brothers not to do business in partnership, if it's really a fight, brothers can become enemies.
The same is true for partners, involving the love between men and women, and if you don't get it right, you will turn against each other.
Ximena has always been enthusiastic and unrestrained, and when the two contacted, her attitude was unabashed, almost saying "bring a box of security measures to me".
What can Luke do about this? Of course it was happily accepted.
The next day was Christmas Eve, December 24th.
Luke drives out the door, leaving Selena depressed at home watching soap operas, swearing at some oblivion bastard.
Luke wore a more comfortable casual sportswear, after all, this is not for work, and there is no need to wear formal clothes to mature.
By the time the car arrived at the Zhongfu Building, it was already late in the evening, and Luke drove into the underground garage, followed by a black stretched Lincoln.
Luke took a look and saw that the driver was a small black man, with a smile on his face, and he looked very happy.
He didn't care, and went up the hall from the elevator.
Walked to the front desk and asked the middle-aged man at the front desk, who pointed to the touch screen not far in front of him: "Enter the name of the person you are looking for, and you can see which floor he is." ”
Luke:...... Ximena seems to be an intern, right? Can you find it on this list?
As a result, a man came in at the gate over there, also looking for someone.
The front desk said the same thing, Luke hurriedly got out of the way, and the man operated on the touch screen.
After a moment, Luke watched as the man found a life-threatening Holly Gilelo, and was stunned: this person's name...... Seems to be the senior executive that Ximena talked about, right?
He hurriedly followed the man and walked to the elevator together.
The man in front of him was in his early thirties, and there was a white vest in his plaid shirt, and Luke didn't have to bother too much to know what this man was doing.
Peer! And it's also a very capable peer.
When the two arrived at the elevator, the man turned around vigilantly: "Are you?" ”
Luke hehe: "My friend is an intern at Zhongfu Company, and I can't find her name on the list. But I heard that she had a senior supervisor there who seemed to be named Gilleilo, so ......"
The man's expression was a little strange, and he seemed to be unhappy, but Luke could tell that the displeasure was not directed at him.
The two entered the elevator, and on the way up, in order to avoid the sudden silence in the air, Luke casually asked, "Oh, excuse me, what do you call you?" ”
The man was stunned, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "John." ”
Luke nodded: "My name is Luke, it's nice to meet you." Officer John. ”
The man was stunned again: "How do you know?" ”
Luke hehe, casually took out the police officer card from his inner pocket and shook it: "Because we are peers." ”
The man was surprised: "You're a police officer?" Is Los Angeles accepting such a young child as a police officer? ”
But he immediately felt that something was wrong with what he said, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I want to say ......"
Luke raised his hand: "I know, after all, most people come out of police academy and are almost twenty years old." But, you know, sometimes some people can get around the rules. ”
John's face was strange: "You...... Is that the kind of person you are? ”
Luke: "No, I had a little bit of a skirmish with someone like that, and they managed to transfer me here." But ......"
John was curious: "But what? ”
Luke: "But I found that the other party seemed to have forgotten about me. ”
John: (⊙_⊙?)
Luke laughed at this time: "So, I'm not a rich man, let alone a second generation, just an ordinary person from Texas." ”
John's expression also became natural, and he stretched out his hand: "Reacquaint, my name is John McLean, from the New York Crime Squad." ”
Luke was stunned, and then laughed: "Fortunately." My name is Luke Coulson, and I'm from the Los Angeles West Side Crime Unit. ”
John's expression was more curious, and he let go of his hand: "How are you ......"
