When the first month's investment bill arrived home, Marianne cried out happily. With a $25,000 investment, there was a profit of $8,000 in the first month, more than a 30% return.

Eight thousand dollars is not a small number, you can buy one-half of a Toyota Camry, or a third of a Cadillac.

Like the twenty-year-old Pontiac driven by Kevin's mother, it can't even sell for a thousand dollars now.

The two of them went to the Spanish restaurant next to the city hall and had a hearty paella, although it was not far from the sea, but on weekdays, they were reluctant to spend fifty dollars on a meal.

"My dear, your investment is so correct, although I haven't gotten the money yet, I already feel the pressure on my body."

Zhou Zhen said with a smile: "If we continue to make profits like this, after weighting at the end of the year, we can take out some of the funds and open a café of your dreams." ”

"Yes, you can also taste the various flavors of milk tea you make."

"No, it's your job from now on."

"However, I feel that the milk tea you make tastes better."

"That's not a reason for you to be lazy."

Zhou Zhen has slowly taught Marianne to make various flavors of milk tea at home, this Hong Kong-style milk tea does not need pearls, only needs to buy ingredients, milk, and then process it into hot or iced food.

At least in the small town of Tallahassee, no one has yet been found to do it.

Because of her good mood, Marianne's attitude towards receiving customers was much gentler in the following time, which also made her reputation better and her performance improved a lot.

Although Zhou Zhen's work is tedious, Kevin's professional knowledge has helped him a lot, and he will not feel a burden at all in this purposeful life.

He still maintains his undefeated record of accusations, but Zhou Zhen rarely screams like the original owner.

At the state prosecutor's office, Zhou Zhen received more praise than the original owner.

In a peaceful life, Zhou Zhen still doesn't dare to take it lightly, especially for Marianne, he is silently catching up every day, and Zhou Zhen takes the trouble to clear any signs of danger one by one.

For example, Marianne wants to change cars, wants to buy new diamond rings, and wants to buy high-end cosmetics.

These needs, without opening a café, made Marianne's life smoother and important.

In this way, half a year passed.

At the end of November, Cisco's stock, which had risen to $17 a share, was doubled, and the original stock was split into two shares, and there was a weighting of each share, which was equivalent to the original 2.7 shares.

Although the stock briefly fell below $9 due to the split, it soon soared to $11.

In just a few days, the stock that was originally $17 per share became $11, but the actual value was equivalent to $30.

Zhou Zhen's profit this year has reached seven times, deducting agency fees, interest, net profit of more than 120,000 US dollars.

Most of the book profits here were left untouched, and only about $10,000 in shares were sold to improve living conditions.

As for the money to open a store, you don't need to sell stocks at all, you can take out a loan.

His stock is now worth $160,000, and a loan of less than $100,000 is not a problem at all.

Of the $10,000, Zhou Zhen spent almost all of it on Marianne, and only bought a $500 ring for his mother as a Christmas gift.

However, most of the money spent on Marianne is invisible. In addition to a diamond ring of 3,500 dollars, the other big head is all kinds of insurance for Marianne, and good clothes and cosmetics can only make her no longer worry about not having a dress.

It's not that he is reluctant, but he is afraid that spending money lavishly will stimulate Marianne's vanity.

This was already very satisfying for Marianne, because Zhou Zhen didn't spend a penny on herself. It was Marianne who used her salary to spend 1,500 dollars to order him a handmade suit.

Because of the improvement of economic conditions, and after Marianne and Zhou Zhen said that they were going to open a café after saying New Year.

Marianne no longer has to be a broker, and she has to make several phone calls in order to get a two-dollar illegal agency fee.

This made Kevin's mother very happy and recognized this daughter-in-law for the first time. They can get along harmoniously, and Zhou Zhen is very comfortable this Christmas.

There has been no abnormality for half a year, and Zhou Zhen is also wondering, has this world changed?

Or does it have to wait until the beginning of the plot for Father Satan to appear?

After Christmas, Zhou Zhen and Marianne took advantage of the holiday to start looking for a store.

Zhou Zhen's eyesight is a single-family villa not far from the stadium, with a beautiful surrounding environment.

However, Marianne's favorite shop is the side entrance of the State University Cinema, which is in the heart of the university, originally a café, saving decoration and close to the dormitory area, so there is no need to worry about customers.

Zhou Zhen was afraid that she would work too hard, but she was afraid that she would not make money, and wanted to accept a mature store.

In the end, Zhou Zhen accommodated her, but asked her to recruit a few more college students to work part-time.

Although it was originally a café, it was renovated after taking over, adding new sound equipment and a take-out window.

Milk tea and coffee are different groups, drinking coffee needs to sit down and taste it slowly, and more people like to drink milk tea in their hands.

The total cost of the shop here was almost $40,000, and Marianne felt particularly stressed.

However, Zhou Zhen still explains every day, allowing her to reach the realm of selflessness in bed.

The spirit is happy, and all the pressure is not a problem.

By the time the spring semester started in February, the café was also open.

Milk tea is half as cheap as coffee, and the taste is rich and varied, which quickly won the unanimous approval of the students.

However, the café's business has been uneventful, barely keeping it profitable.

That's already good, the original café has been losing money.

However, at this time, the Titanic, which was popular all over the world, set off another wave of viewing craze, driving a lot of business.

After the takeaway business was launched, it was all part-time work for students, delivered on campus, and started making pizza and hot dogs, and the business began to improve.

From a nervous newcomer testing the waters, Marianne gradually began to stabilize, and her self-confidence has also increased a lot.

At this time, Zhou Zhen finally felt relieved, not afraid that she would be tempted by the flower world in New York again.

She has her own business in Tallahassee, and she won't go to New York if she is asked to go.

In the summer of 98, on the first anniversary of their marriage, the two of them traveled abroad for the first time, although they went to the nearest Panama, but they also enjoyed the exotic scenery of the waves and the beach.

On this trip, because of the economic upturn, the two of them also put their children on the agenda for the first time.

This made Zhou Zhen feel very wonderful, in the real world, he was urging him to hold his grandson, but in this world, he took the initiative to have a child.

Of course, this also has something to do with not having a wife in the real world.

In different worlds with all kinds of beautiful women falling in love and getting together, Zhou Zhen doubts whether he will fall in love in the real world.

However, in the first world, there is Ma Haohan's experience and emotional bonus, and in this world, Kevin's experience and emotional bonus, Zhou Zhen found that he has changed from not understanding amorous customs to becoming a master of love.

At the very least, some of the little tricks are played perfectly.

For half a year, the two of them had no contraception, and there was no problem when they went to the hospital for examination, but the child never had it.

At this time, the shadow hung over Zhou Zhen's heart again.

He wants children, but also to break the plot, Kevin's satanic father can be strong. The wife of the violent son drove her crazy.

But if you have a grandchild, you should be treated differently.

But now, that attempt has been dashed.

Calculate the time, it seems that there is still half a year, which is the time when the plot begins.

Although the shadow has been hanging all the time, Kevin still bought a house of his own when 99 came.

Detached garden villa, two floors, four bedrooms, for a total price of $250,000 with only a down payment of $50,000.

The loan term is longer, because the longer the time, although the interest is paid more, there is no need to pay property tax, and the two offset the difference.

Zhou Zhen also changed to a Cadillac, which is very consistent with his current status as a state attorney.

The business of Marianne's café is now very stable, and although the consumption level of the students is not high, there are many people, and they can maintain a good income by relying on volume.

Add to that the fact that Cisco's stock has been appreciating all the time, and they have officially entered the middle class.

The relationship between the two has always been very good, and when Zhou Zhen works overtime, Marianne will come to accompany him from work.

When he is not working overtime, Zhou Zhen will go to the café and wait for Marianne to go home together.

In addition to these, Zhou Zhen's biggest gain from coming to this world is the legal knowledge he gained through Kevin's memory.

In more than two years, Zhou Zhen has become a legal expert, which is difficult to do under any other circumstances.

How nice it would be if life went on like this......

That night, as soon as Zhou Zhen arrived at the café, Marianne behind the bar said with a smile: "Kevin, there was an interesting guest just now, it's a pity that you didn't meet it." ”

"Really, how interesting? Yelena, bring me a glass of water, thank you. ”

"Although he is old, he is still very attractive, and he has easily won the hearts of many girls."

Yelena placed a glass of water in front of Zhou Zhen. "Kevin, you're no longer the only male god in my heart."

Zhou Zhen smiled: "So, who is the other lucky winner?" ”

"It's the gentleman just now, he has a better sense of humor than you, and the whole audience laughs with him. He also said that his name was Satan......"

Zhou Zhen's heart tightened and asked, "This is not his real name, right?" ”

"Of course. His name is John Milton, and he is the same name as the great English poet who wrote the great work "Paradise Lost", and his writing is not inferior......"

Zhou Zhen couldn't hear what she was saying anymore, and there was only one thought in his heart: he was finally here.
