Chapter 21: Returning Home
What happened to Tony, Jing didn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being, because he had already taken a taxi back to the city, got off the bus five kilometers away from his home, and found an alley to change himself into his original appearance, and Jing slowly walked back.
All this can't help but be careless, cameras are everywhere in New York, and as the person who was rescued with Tony Stark, once known by the outside world, he can't think of being famous, but now these methods should be able to greatly slow down the occurrence of this thing, fortunately, the only one who knows his true face is Iron Man Tony, even that Tony's friend, the black Colonel Roddy, doesn't know his true face.
Fortunately, those terrorists were not stingy before, and they did not confiscate all the things on Jing's body, so Beijing had the money to take a taxi. He didn't tell Tony before leaving, just to reduce the trouble of appearing on camera, and he also left a small note in the other party's pocket, believing that if there is a major matter, the other party can still contact him, and now, let Jing spend a stable high school life.
The city where Beijing lives is New York, the world's largest economic center, located on the Atlantic coast in the southeast of New York State, USA, as well as the largest city and port in the United States.
It is a multi-ethnic and diverse city, with immigrants from 97 countries and regions, and according to statistics, there are 800 languages spoken here. New York City is home to millions of people living on more than 700 square kilometers, while the outer metropolitan area of New York is home to nearly 20 million people.
New York is made up of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens (Queens), Blanx, and Staten Island.
Manhattan is the most densely populated of the five boroughs of New York City in the United States, and it is also the smallest borough. Manhattan consists primarily of an island and is surrounded by the East River, the Hudson River, and the Harlem River. Manhattan has been described as the economic and cultural center of the entire United States, home to the New York City Central Business District, the area with the highest concentration of skyscrapers in the world, the headquarters of most of the world's top 500 companies, and the headquarters of the United Nations. Wall Street in Manhattan is the most important financial center in the world, with the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ, and Manhattan's real estate market is one of the most expensive in the world. Manhattan has more than 1.5 million inhabitants and is less than 60 square kilometers, or more than 25,000 people per square kilometer, making it one of the most densely populated places in the world.
Manhattan is also one of the richest places in the United States, and Manhattan's Chinatown is also home to the largest Chinese population in the entire Western Hemisphere.
Manhattan is also home to a large number of high schools and universities, including the world's top 50 universities such as Columbia University, New York University, and Rockefeller University. In addition, since New York City was founded at the southern tip of Manhattan, the seat of the New York City Government, New York City Hall, is also located here.
Midtown is an area located in Manhattan, New York, United States. This area is the most crowded and prosperous area on Manhattan Island and has the highest density of skyscrapers in the world.
And the high school where Jing is located is Midtown High School.
In addition to world-renowned office buildings such as Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall and the Empire State Building, Midtown is also home to many important transportation hubs such as Grand Central Terminal, Penn Station, and New York Port Terminal Terminal. Broadway, Fifth Avenue, are all located here.
And Jing's home is in such a place where every inch of land is valuable, his parents left Beijing a high-end villa of more than 150 square meters, and in this place, the value of each square meter of land exceeds 25,000 US dollars, according to the annual property tax of 2.75% of this lot, Beijing needs to pay more than 100,000 US dollars in real estate tax every year, although his parents left an inheritance of about 1.2 million, but before Beijing never dared to use it easily, but still put it in the fund, The mutual fund managed by Warren Buffett earns about 10% a year, or about $120,000, barely enough for him to pay property taxes and his own living expenses. If there is other consumption, Kyoto will support itself and work part-time to make money.
As for paying such a high property tax, why not just sell the house? Jing has never thought about this kind of thing, after all, he is Asian, and the education he has received since childhood is also a Chinese-style education, unlike those white people who consume in advance all day long, he still has a very serious house plot, and this villa can be said to be the most important property and memory left by his parents, even if he has lived a very hard life, but he must not give up this house, and now, reawaken his memory, Jing, who has mastered the spell, no longer has to worry about these, if he wants to, He was able to easily acquire a lot of wealth.
Jing, who returned home, did not lie on the bed for the first time, but looked at the thick dust in the room and frowned.
Because Manhattan is a wealthy area, the security here is very high, and police posts are everywhere, so Jing doesn't have to worry about finding that there is nothing in the house when he goes home, but because he first went to India, and then was kidnapped to Afghanistan, he didn't go home for too long, and a layer of dust accumulated in the villa that no one cleaned, so Jing started to clean up.
After the cleaning of Beijing was completed, he found that the sun had already set, and the cleaning work reached an astonishing 6 hours, even if the physical strength of Beijing exceeded that of ordinary people by two or three times, he couldn't help but feel a little tired, and it seemed that he would have to find a professional cleaner in the future to clean every day, so as not to accumulate so much dust. In fact, it's not that there is no corresponding spell that can replace him in the cleaning work, but Jing is reluctant to use it here, on the one hand, because this is a wealthy area, densely covered with various monitor cameras, Jing doesn't want to be exposed, on the other hand, here, Jing wants to live as an ordinary person, finish high school, be admitted to college, and fulfill the last wish of his parents in this life, and the premise is that he can't expose his special powers, otherwise the peaceful life may be gone forever.
Due to the physical activity for most of the day, Jing didn't have the heart to cook anymore, so he simply went out to eat something, after all, people are iron and rice are steel.
When Kyo, who had eaten and drunk, returned to bed and was ready to sleep, he remembered one thing, "Damn Tex, you haven't paid me yet!" ”
