Chapter 100: Iris
Moreover, Zhou Zhen deliberately let this emotion also affect other aspects, at a drinking party, Zhou Zhen, who has always been steady, couldn't bear the provocation of a second ancestor, and fought with the other party.
At another reception, he couldn't bear it anymore and quarreled with Palanti's rivals, saying that he would not only help Palanti win the party election, but also help him become president.
His statement also made the Ewing family have to come out to support, so that everyone knew the Ewing family's attitude in advance.
When he knew that Zhou Zhen was a little irritated by the new book, Jacob personally called and tactfully persuaded Zhou Zhen to give up writing and focus on the economy.
Zhou Zhen said that he wanted to take another look and asked Jacob to give him a few months.
On January 30, Zhou Zhen, who slept in the Ewing family's Upper East Side mansion, was reminded by the system early in the morning.
"Iris is coming to New York from Pittsburgh and will arrive at 1050 East 47th Street at 9:30 p.m. today."
Zhou Zhen calculated in his heart, today Thursday, there is no drinking party arrangement, and he can also stay in his own home at night, and there is enough time.
He mentally watched the plot about Iris again at the end of the movie.
Iris is a minor girl, and Spot is a pimp.
He tricked Iris out of Pittsburgh and used affection and deception to play a little girl around.
When she was drunk, Iris wanted to run away, but when she was sober, she did not dare to run away.
Although Spot didn't hit her, this control was more confusing for a girl who wasn't an adult.
Does he like Iris? Of course not!
If you like someone, how can you let each other be a few women!
He just took advantage of her immaturity to make money for himself......
This point, although it is not explicitly expressed, has been metaphorized in this movie, but because Iris is not an adult, the performance is relatively vague.
In "Legend of Fallen Street", an American drama of the 70s, the mentality of the pimps of the 70s is vividly displayed.
Pimps of this era, every single one of them deserves to die.
They have no bottom line, using alcohol, drugs, and lies to control the girls to become a tool to make money.
After reading it, Zhou Zhen carefully took away the hand that was pillow under Jenny's head, and the absurd life made her sleep until almost noon every day before waking up.
She didn't wake up, but Deborah, who was sleeping on the other side of her, did.
Seeing Zhou Zhen's movements, she muttered, leaned over to Jenny's side again, hugged her body, and continued to sleep.
Zhou Zhen got out of bed and lay on the carpet and began to do push-ups.
He can now stay in shape with the system without training. But if I don't exercise every morning, my muscles don't seem to be strong.
Not only does it become a habit mentally, but it also forms a habit in the muscles.
Zhou Zhen ate a hearty breakfast served by seven people, and replenished enough nutrients before Deborah went downstairs in her pajamas.
Zhou Zhen asked, "What arrangements do you have today?" ”
"After lunch and makeup, I went to the auction in the afternoon, Mary is going to have a birthday, she likes Courin's paintings, and I am going to auction one for her."
Mary is a cousin of hers and is only fifteen years old this year.
And Courin is a famous painter of the 18th century in this world, although he is not very old, but his paintings are basically not less than 100,000 dollars.
Anyway, for her, as long as it is a reasonable expenditure, money is never a problem.
Zhou Zhen turned around and instructed the housekeeper: "Prepare a little seafood and mushrooms, and I will cook it myself in the evening." ”
As soon as Deborah heard this, she immediately coquettish: "I want to eat the kind of chicken you made......"
Zhou Zhen made a fried yam chicken last time, which made both of them hooked.
Zhou Zhen smiled, turned around and said, "Then add a two-pound or so flower-tailed chicken." ”
Most of the chickens in the United States are very stout chickens, seven or eight catties is normal, or even more than ten catties. Like a turkey can grow more than a dozen pounds, the meat is very unpalatable.
There are also pheasants here, but there are too many bones, they don't know how to make them, and they eat very little.
The flower-tailed chicken that Zhou Zhen said is a small-shaped chicken with a relatively delicious meat.
She leaned over and kissed Zhou Zhen on the face. "Honey, you're so nice."
The butler and the servant both smiled when they saw their affection.
Although the relationship between the three of them is a bit chaotic, everyone in the Ewing family knows that this is Deborah's problem.
Now that Zhou Zhen can accept this relationship, they are already very satisfied.
Sitting down next to Zhou Zhen, she asked again, "How is the new book?" ”
"I've got a clue." Zhou Zhen pretended not to talk about the new book, stood up, wiped his mouth, and then leaned over and kissed Deborah on the face. "I'm going to go to the bank, take care of a little bit of business, and then go back to writing a new book. I may not come back for dinner at noon and eat together in the evening. ”
"Okay."
Driving a Cadillac out of the villa, Zhou Zhen drove along the riverside road all the way to the lower city and came to the bank headquarters building.
At this time, Zhou Zhen became a business elite, and everyone he met nodded to him.
If he marries Deborah and becomes the direct line of the family, not to mention that the current head of the investment department, it is only a matter of time before he wants to become the general manager.
So even other executives of the bank were very polite when they saw him.
Zhou Zhen came to the investment department and looked at yesterday's transaction records, and there was nothing wrong.
Then he arranged: "After gold went to $113.5 yesterday, it looks like it lacks momentum, but I think it is more likely that it is gaining momentum for another rise." In the two-day trading, hedging investment is the mainstay, and the long position is slightly short. Are there any contracts that have been traded in these two days? ”
"No, but the Bank wants to settle with us early, and obviously they also think the price of gold will rise."
"If you agree to the other person's request, you can't make enough money, and sometimes maintaining a friendly relationship is the long-term solution."
The other party nodded, Zhou Zhen looked at his stored memories again, calculated and said: "In the near future, long orders are the mainstay, but you can establish a three-month short position starting next week." ”
"Travis, do you think it will go down in three months?"
"Today's trend is to spiral upwards, but there are twists and turns."
"Understood."
Leaving the bank, Zhou Zhen drove back to his house, and then lay on the sofa and watched the stored movie.
At noon, I didn't want to go to the villa to eat, but I didn't want to do it, so I ran to eat again, and waited for the two girls to start putting on makeup before leaving.
When he returned, he printed out a few sheets of paper, then deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied, crumpled them up, and threw them away.
But in fact, he had already planned in his mind what to write in the third book.
"The Shawshank Redemption" is a novella by Stephen King, and the theme is hope.
The book was originally only 85,000 words, and if Zhou Zhen really wrote it, half a day would be enough.
But he didn't just copy it, because the original text was too short, only more than 80,000 words, and Stephen King's others were actually not good-looking at all, and they had no profound meaning, so Zhou Zhen was not interested in copying them.
He also wants to expand some of the plot of the movie, plus some step-by-step mental descriptions of "Desert Island Afterlife".
This article doesn't need Zhou Zhen's brain, because he has a biological computer, and he only needs to fuse the two stored books and the plot of the movie together, and according to his own requirements, the computer can automatically generate one.
Zhou Zhen has been refining this article in his mind lately, not only adding hope and some ordeal plots, but also incorporating the racial friendship between whites and blacks, and finally writing it in his style.
The biological computer is very powerful, and according to these elements, the idea is almost perfect.
Then, add a personal emotion, and you're done.
Zhou Zhen already has several manuscripts of "The Shawshank Redemption" in different styles in his mind, each of which is 10,000 words.
When the time comes, just print it out.
In the evening, Zhou Zhen went back to the villa to cook, and the two girls went to the auction, took pictures and came back.
Because he was going to have a big meal, even Deborah's third uncle's family heard the news and came over from Long Island.
Their arrival did not increase Zhou Zhen's workload, but only delayed him for a while after the meal.
When it was almost nine o'clock, Zhou Zhen first proposed to end the chatting after dinner on the grounds that he had an explosion of inspiration today.
Seeing off her third uncle's family, Zhou Zhen said goodbye to the two girls and drove away.
He didn't go home, checked his pistol in the car, and drove straight to the East.
This is the famous red light district of New York, but it is very low-end, belonging to the world of street women, the paradise of female ticket passengers.
As soon as Zhou Zhen's car entered this street, it received a lot of attention, luxury cars are not uncommon here, and many rich people like this tune.
But Zhou Zhen refused one by one and parked the car at the door of No. 49, which is a convenience store.
Zhou Zhen looked at the time, and there were still five minutes left, so he went into the store and bought two boxes of chewing gum, and then bought a box of cigarettes.
After grinding in the store for two minutes, the shopkeeper paid attention to him, and then he paid for it and went out.
When he came out, he went in again and handed over the change. "Give me another lighter."
The shopkeeper glanced at him and said with a smile: "Don't be embarrassed, everyone who comes here is here to have fun." ”
It turned out that she was treated as a shy female ticket passenger, Zhou Zhen pretended to smile shyly, did not speak, and walked out of the store.
Looking at my watch, there was still a minute.
Zhou Zhen opened the cigarette case unfamiliarly, he didn't want to smoke, and he didn't have a habit of smoking, but he was standing on the street here, with no cigarette in his hand, and he seemed out of place.
As soon as he lit his cigarette, a taxi pulled up not far from him.
The long-haired Spot took out the money to pay for it in the front row, and Iris in the back seat was curiously looking at the outside world through the car window.
Then, she saw Zhou Zhen looking at her with a confused expression.
Spot shouted, "We're here, get out of the car and get your luggage." ”
She opened the door in a bit of a panic, and opened it twice before opening.
Petite, she made her way to the rear trunk and awkwardly opened the tail lid, and Spot came to help. "Can't you hurry?"
Zhou Zhen walked up to them and asked suspiciously, "Iris?" ”
