Chapter 24: Bargaining [3]

"Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat, and marry you and have to bring your own meal ticket. You don't have anything to ask for yourself, but you want to ask for others. You still want to go to Maria Ozawa, have you jj set diamonds?" Ling Ran sarcastic.

"JJ diamonds? Shao Chengzhi was embarrassed and a little curious, "Isn't there a condom with particles?

Shao Chengzhi has a serious face, a naΓ―ve face, and a face I am willing to serve you sincerely. Ling Ran had no choice but to roll her eyes at the ceiling: "I don't know, I have to try to know." ”

Both of them were silent, thinking about how to try and when to try.

Ling Ran muttered in a low voice: "You want me to introduce you to the girls in our class, but you have to have something you can get your hands on, so I can sell it to you." The girls nowadays are very picky, they have no money and no house, please don't bother. Since JJ is not set with diamonds, I have to be a diamond king, where do you look like a diamond king, but like Li Xiaoer next door selling tofu. Why do you tell me to shout?"

Shao Chengzhi immediately retorted: "I have a lot of selling points." The girls in your class, 28-29 this year, graduated from the National People's Congress, do you have to find a husband from Tsinghua University and Peking University? After working for so many years, the salary and position should be good, and the height is not cold, how many men are left for them to choose. You list my conditions for them, and see how many of them are willing. ”

Ling Ran was dizzy, and now the men are all hateful to his grandmother: "What's the matter, even if people can't marry for a lifetime, they don't necessarily have to consider you." The husband has two roles, one is to support the family, and the other is to go to bed, just like a man has two balls, one of your balls has been declared useless, and the other balls don't know if it's good or not. You say how attractive you are. ”

Shao Chengzhi thought for a while: "Well, a man is 30 years old and unmarried, so don't expect him to get married." Just like a man has no problems with his organs, it doesn't mean that he is functionally fine. So, girls, if a man doesn't have viagra with him, don't go to an appointment on the weekend, who knows if this man can do it. And I happen to have Viagra. I do plan to get married, and I do. ”

Shao Chengzhi talked about the green card.

Ling Ran was surprised: "God, this is the fastest through train." It is more efficient than marrying a U.S. citizen, and marrying a U.S. citizen requires two years of temporary green card to become a regular, who knows if the marriage with Lao Mei can last for two months. If you marry you, you will be able to get an official green card immediately, and you can get a divorce as soon as you get your green card. Oh my God, oh my God, such a good thing. Shao Chengzhi, are you willing to sell me this marriage certificate? I am willing to make a personal promise, Maria Ozawa is weaker than me. Once the green card is in hand, we will immediately agree to divorce and never delay you in finding your next home. Although you earn more than me, I don't want you a cent of divorce alimony, although rest assured. ”

Shao Chengzhi looked at Ling Ran in surprise: "Divorce as soon as the green card arrives? Are you so ambitious? My green card can be approved within 3-4 months, 485 will be handed over, and according to the speed of the California processing center, 3-5 months, I will get the official green card." If you don't want to go back to the United States, then you have to go back to the United States once every six months. After you get your green card, you haven't stayed in the United States for a day, and you don't even have a rental record, and after going back and forth a few times, the U.S. immigration department will definitely look at you unpleasantly, and when the time comes, it will not give you a green card, and it will make it difficult for you when you enter the customs. ”

Shao Chengzhi smiled: "But I don't have this problem, I am an expatriate of an American company, and my salary is directly reported to the IRS (United States Internal Revenue Service), and the number of days I live in the United States during the assignment period is accumulated, and my wife can also accumulate the same because she lives with me." If we don't get divorced, you don't have to go back to the United States to go to immigration prison, or even travel to the United States twice a year. After two and a half years of receiving your green card, you will have accumulated the minimum number of days to apply for U.S. citizenship. But in this way, I have to marry you for three years without divorce, no, no, don't you delay my youth, this marriage certificate can't be sold to you, Maria Ozawa can't it. I still have to be serious about looking for a wife, and in three years, the baby has given birth to two. ”

Because Ling Ran has never applied for a green card, she still doesn't know this detailed rule: "Oh, there are such regulations, the USCIS is really shameless and not mistaken, who delays whose youth, for the sake of a green card, it is worth selling yourself, is it worth selling for three years." ”

Shao Chengzhi hurriedly said: "It's worth it, it's not worth it to others, for example, those aunts and aunts who smuggled into the United States and worked in Chinese restaurants, anyway, whether they have a green card or not, whether they are American citizens or not, they all do the same illegal work and earn the same amount of money, so for them, it's not worth it." But for you, the green card is too important, with a green card you can change jobs at will, and then take a new offer to threaten your boss with a salary increase. Citizenship is even more important, you see, you are in the United States, step by step, can you do R (director) in this life? I think enough, but you are a director in China for three years, and then you go back to the United States to find a job, you can't be a r, at least you can apply for a manager. Therefore, the green card and citizenship mean a lot to you, and three years of youth are nothing compared to the future of a lifetime. ”

Ling Ran thought to herself: This kid loves to hide private goods, and the matter of the green card is only now said, if he doesn't force him, he probably won't tell me about the accumulation of days of residence, and his conscience is very bad. Does he have any oil and water to squeeze out? He should have it (equity subscription), does he have any other retirement plans besides 401k?

Shao Chengzhi saw Ling Ran's eyes rolling around, knowing that she didn't use her brain, he hurriedly said: "Hey, Miss, you go to your female classmate to help me recommend it, maybe someone is willing." If it succeeds, I ask you to be a bridesmaid. ”

Ling Ran turned his heart sideways: "Okay, it's decided." Among the girls in our class, I recommend myself. ”

Shao Chengzhi's heart "banged" loudly, and the hand holding the coffee cup shook uncontrollably, and Shao Chengzhi quickly let go. Ling Ran's ears were hot, and the two of them lowered their eyelids at the same time, not daring to look at each other.

After half a minute, Ling Ran smiled: "How is it, are you willing to accept it?"

Shao Chengzhi raised his eyes, the two looked at each other, and quickly moved away.

"Good. Shao Chengzhi said, his throat was hoarse, and it was almost difficult to speak, "Do you really want to? I am a child from the countryside, my family has no money, I am not handsome, and I will not please girls." ”

Ling Ran smiled: "For the sake of your salary and green card, I am willing." Because of feeling Shao Chengzhi's silent ecstasy, Ling Ran was inexplicably moved.

Shao Chengzhi was very excited and wanted to say: I really, really like you, from the first time I saw you, I liked you, I know that we are not a good match, but I will not let you regret choosing me.

But Shao Chengzhi couldn't say this kind of thing. The hormones in Shao Chengzhi's body have already exceeded the red warning line at this moment, and the result of the excessive excitement of nerve cells is: desperately trying to do something earth-shattering, but he can't find a single one, so his brain is hot, and he rushes out: "Then let's get married tomorrow." ”

Ling Ran's smile suddenly froze on her face: "Oh, tomorrow." Will the Civil Affairs Bureau open its doors during this National Day?"

Shao Chengzhi came back to his senses: "Oh, my household registration was revoked when I went abroad, and I didn't go to it when I came back, I didn't go to it, and if I want to get married, I have to open a single certificate." ”

There was a warm current in Ling Ran's heart, and there seemed to be a dark fire burning in Shao Chengzhi's eyes, so she didn't dare to look at it, so she lowered her head: "If you want to marry me, then you have to say it." You have to do all the housework, pay all your salary, you can't look at other women, and you can't leave a penny of private money. ”

Shao Chengzhi was inexplicable: "All the housework, yes, if you want me to do the housework." I know how to clean and cook, and my friends say that my scrambled eggs are very fragrant."

Ling Ran hurriedly said, "Oh, you just clean up, I can cook the dishes." ”

Shao Chengzhi is still saying: "Pay all the salary, and don't keep private money." I don't have any private money, and my salary will be sent directly to the China Bank card after deducting taxes, and I don't have a penny of cash. ”

Shao Chengzhi took out a black leather wallet and pulled out a golden silver-line card from it: "Here you go, but it's not much, just more than 200,000, I actually get more than 30,000 yuan every month, if the company's performance is good, Christmas will be paid more bonuses (bonuses) equivalent to two months' salary, but you know, it is in a recession now." ”

Ling Ran was stunned: "Give it to me now?" Well, it's better to wait for the time to get married, and don't accept it now." ”

Ling Ran returned the card to Shao Chengzhi: "But you must give it to me when you get married." "Ling Ran is afraid that Shao Chengzhi will give his family money privately after marriage, but in essence, this kind of thing is useless, people give it to you today, and you can report it lost tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Ling Ran hurriedly added: "The silver-bank card is not the silver-bank card, it is secondary. But you have to make sure that you are financially transparent with me, if you want to buy big things, or have big expenses, you must discuss with me first, and we can only do it after we reach an agreement. Don't hide from me, don't deceive me, don't hide a small treasury. ”

Shao Chengzhi stopped laughing, stared at Ling Ran for a while, and said slowly: "Ling Ran, I will never deceive you." I don't cheat on my wife, either financially or in my private life, it's not my character. If one day, I'm going to do something that I know my wife won't agree to, I'll tell you first. But I'm stubborn, and if I'm determined to do something, I probably won't accept objections from others. ”

Ling Ran shuddered slightly, and there was a faint uneasiness in her heart, but then she thought again: I can't handle Ye Ling, I can't handle you Shao Chengzhi, I just need to use one-tenth of my strength to deal with Ye Ling to deal with you A science and engineering man from a rural area, I told you to go east and you can go west, otherwise, wouldn't I feed the dog all the tuition fees for those two years.

Thinking of this, Ling Ran suddenly became full of confidence, and smiled softly at Shao Chengzhi: "I'm not an unreasonable person, you can discuss anything, even if we have different opinions, I won't make you too embarrassed." ”

Shao Chengzhi nodded: "I know, I believe this." ”

Shao Chengzhi looked at his watch, it was almost 5 o'clock: "I have a party in the evening." Those unmarried returnees and American guys in my company sometimes have dinner together and eat buffets. Ling Ran, would you like to come with me?"

Ling Ran smiled: "Of course." Shao Chengzhi invited himself into his workplace social circle, which shows that he is indeed developing her as a ship (serious relationship).

Shao Chengzhi asked the waiter to come over and pay the bill, and then the two got up together and walked out side by side.

Shao Chengzhi wanted to pull Ling Ran's hand and pull Ling Ran's waist, but he had never had physical contact with a girl in his life, and he had the heart of a thief but not the courage of a thief, and suddenly laughed: "My returnee colleagues, when they were in the United States, couldn't find a girlfriend, and they thought about how to return to China every day to find an affair." I'll take you there today, and I guess their eyes will be green. ”

Shao Chengzhi was a little excited: I want the whole world to know that I have a girlfriend, how beautiful she is, how good she is-

Many years later, when Ling Ran was reviewing and reviewing her life, she was puzzled by her way of getting along with those two men:

What is the reason why she and Ye Ling, the man she loves and admires so much, have adopted the mode of responding to the recruitment from the first day they met, turning a serious love that is obviously developing towards marriage into scheming and seduction from the beginning, and turning it into a game of intertwined love and desire. In that game, she competes with a man known for his charm and ruthlessness against whom she is more attracted to and who doesn't take anyone seriously:

And with Shao Chengzhi, the man she loves so deeply and respects so much, she has entered the game mode from the first day of the relationship, wringing each other to see who can make each other bow their heads and surrender, turning a pair of closest lovers into two opposing sides of the war, shouldn't he be the person she trusts and relies on the most? And the saddest thing is that she knows that intelligence and tenacity are the most significant characteristics of this man, but she still has to compete with him to see who is smarter and who has more perseverance.

Ling Ran finally discovered that she had actually used all her youth and passion to fight two wars that she was bound to lose
