Chapter 40 God forbid
"How's it going, did you sleep well yesterday?"
"Thank you."
Fiona whispered, and a red cloud arose on her fair cheeks, and it was really a bad thing for a girl to sleep in a flower bed last night.
"Eat something, see what you like, I hope you can have a good mood today."
Li Fushou said lightly and started straight up.
The dome dining room is softly lit by a flash of morning sunshine, and the tables covered with crisp white tablecloths are filled with sumptuous food, freshly picked fruits and flowers.
Fiona took small bites and ate elegantly, and was quickly shocked by what she saw, and involuntarily stopped.
The tall oriental young man in front of him has a good appetite, and he eats vigorously, a piece of pan-fried steak that is grilled and browned on both sides, at most a few bites, and a pan-fried cod is solved in three or four bites.
Drink a big sip of milk what? (Watts), the crystal glass went down more than half.
The waiter served the next pan-fried steak carefully grilled while pouring the milk over.
That's it
Li Fushou ate a few strawberries and a corn and mushroom soup, turned his head and dealt with the pan-fried steak again, and it was finished in a few bites, still unsatisfied.
He ate very sweetly and enjoyed the food to the fullest.
I was woken up hungry in the morning, yesterday's dinner lasted more than two hours, and after that, it was a dressage ball, and the little food I ate was not worth it.
At the age of 17, it is the time to grow your body, and you need to consume a lot of vitamins and nutrients, as well as the necessary protein and saturated fatty acids to provide the daily needs of this tall and young body.
Exaggeratingly, Li Fushou felt that he could eat a cow.
After eating out 5 pan-fried steaks, 1 pan-fried cod, 11 buns, two vegetable salads and a lot of other food, Li Fushou sighed comfortably, and finally had his fill.
"After watching it for a long time, do you have anything to say?"
"Yes, you eat more than three strong men, I don't think I can afford to support you." Fiona's mouth opened in surprise and became an O-shape, and her speaking style was still straight and unturned.
"Thank you for the compliment, it's gratifying not to worry about this for the time being, Miss Fiona......" Li Fushou took a leisurely sip of fragrant black tea, his eyes swept over the other party's peerless face that charmed the world, and he felt his heartbeat speed up.
His expression was not revealed at all, and he turned his face indifferently to look out the window and said; "You don't think you can sit at the table and spend time, we have a lot of things to do this morning, we have a lot to see a lot of people, you have been watching for a long time, can you eat now?"
"Hee-hee-hee...... I'm full and ready to go. β
βwhatοΌβ
This time it was Li Fushou's turn to be surprised, the two sat across the table, and he barely saw Fiona eat.
Maybe eat two strawberries and drink a small half glass of juice, and then have ...... It's like eating one or two cookies, and the rest is gone.
If Li Fushou is a cow drinker, Fiona is a cat food.
"Is it because the food is unappetizing?"
Fiona replied apologetically; "Oh...... Sorry, the food was delicious, but I need to stay in shape and I've had a lot of food today. β
"Really?"
"Yes, I'm very well fed, there is no food at home in the most difficult times, my sister and I only need a cookie a day and a little water."
Li Fushou was completely speechless at this time.
Please due to the deformed aesthetics of Europeans and Americans, aristocratic women in this era need to tighten their waists and hold them in their hands.
The finer the more beautiful, the more eye-catching and popular.
Aristocratic women had to go on a diet every day, and they had to endure almost suffocating waist restraints, but they were afraid of being ridiculed when they participated in the ball.
The difficulties of many European aristocratic heirs are not unrelated to the deformed aesthetics.
The king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starved to death in the palace, and there are many similarities between ancient and modern China and foreign countries.
Li Fushou raised his eyebrows and said; "In my place, you don't need to deliberately go on a diet, I like the people around me to be natural, and it's okay to be plump."
"Oh, that's terrible, how can that work?" Fiona couldn't believe what she heard.
"Okay, if you're happy." The habit of going deep into the blood of the bone marrow cannot be changed in a day or two, Li Fushou gave up persuasion and stood up and strode out of the restaurant.
"Hurry up and prepare, let's go right away."
"Oh, okay."
A moment later
Fiona held the itinerary planner in her hand and followed behind Li Fushou with a little trot, saying while watching;
"Sir, at 9:30 a.m., the California Food Machinery Chamber of Commerce will be at the Orange Hall to welcome you, and they will show you the latest international wheat flour grinding machinery and equipment, which can refine and produce higher grade wheat flour.
Besides
At 10:20, you'll head to the University of California to talk to a few professors about the mechanical design of the canning line, a completely new field where canning was previously a handicraft workshop that is no longer suitable for the large-scale production of farms in the Red River Valley.
At noon, UC Bradley Chancellor and members of the Board of Trustees will be personally entertained to further discuss the intention of further strengthening personnel training and funding related specialty steel and food processing laboratories.
School Orientation Hope;
He can invest no less than Β£1,200 to the University of California to fund the expansion of research in the two laboratories and to produce the latest scientific and technological achievements that are ahead of the world.
At 2 p.m., there will be a discussion with agricultural and mining experts from the University of California, and they will be invited to Australia for further research.
Accordingly, the Red River Valley will provide the necessary research and personnel funding.
...... at four o'clock"
Fiona read the itinerary more and more fluently, and her sweet voice was muffled, as if she was reciting poetry, giving people a beautiful enjoyment.
Li Fushou walked to the carriage and suddenly stopped, turned around and asked; "Miss Fiona, you have a talent for languages, what do you usually do?"
"Well, I am fluent in English, French, German, Russian and Spanish, Danish and Hebrew and can cope with everyday conversations, have a good understanding of European art history, from Greece to the Middle Ages, and the artistic achievements of the Italian Renaissance, and am proficient in the use of piano and violin, although of course, the level may not be that high, in addition to dabbling in some watercolor painting, but only at a beginner level."
Li Fushou's face changed when he heard this, and he said dryly, "Get in the car." β
"Oh!"
Fiona watched his tall back slip into the carriage, her eyes narrowed triumphantly, and she followed suit.
Her identity is a personal financial advisor, which is actually the role of a secretary.
On the one hand, it is connected to the distinguished customers, and on the other hand, it is connected to Citibank's huge social channels, which solve the needs of bank VIPs from clothing, food, housing and transportation, high-end consumption, purchase of fixed assets to interstate travel, etc., showing the distinguished treatment.
A young and beautiful unmarried girl doing this job, one accidentally fell into the mouth of the tiger, and even got into it.
Will Citibank be held accountable for this?
This joke is not funny at all, the veil of capitalist warmth has been removed, and there is only cruelty and gore inside, and there is no mercy at all.
Just a month ago, a well-known American company broke out in a large-scale protest march at its chemical plant in Boston, protesting against the harmful health of workers by toxic chemical products, and demanding that the factory strengthen labor protection.
Dozens of workers have died because of the lack of protection from exposure to toxic chemicals, female workers have given birth to malformed fetuses, and the river water near the factory is black and smelly.
This famous chemical company, which produced half of the gunpowder of the Civil War, was a true arms giant.
The result?
Thugs hired by the company set up guns in front of the factory and fired indiscriminately at the protesters, killing and injuring dozens of workers on the spot......
This is the harsh social reality of today, where every dollar is dirty in the period of capitalist primitive accumulation.
In a wide carriage with a smooth ride
Fiona cautiously looked at Li Fushou's angular face, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, his face took off the last childishness and became mature, and his attitude towards himself was gentle, which gave Fiona confidence.
"Sir, may I disturb you?"
"Say ......"
"Well, can I advance some salary, I'm sorry to bother you, but I really need money, and my father is very sick......"
Li Fushou opened his eyes and looked at Fiona with a pleading face, the angel's face was full of sadness, which made people feel a strong desire to help her.
Fiona (Audrey Hepburn), you genie who has fallen into the world.
"How much advance are you prepared to make?"
"Ten...... Sixteen or twenty dollars, I'll pay it back with double my work, trust me. β
"Miss Fiona, your father has been sent to the specialist ward of Seattle City Hospital for treatment, and your mother is by his side, but the cost of treatment may be astronomical, and 90% sure it will not be cured, because the lung disease is really tricky."
Speaking of which, Li Fushou stared at Fiona; "You're dealing with a big bill, which can be hundreds of dollars or more, instead of $20, and now, do you want to make an advance?"
"I ......"
Fiona was shocked by the astonishing news, and then said with surprise and joy; "Oh God, did you arrange for someone to take my father to the hospital?"
βyesγβ
"I thank you so much, you are the best employer in the world, with a benevolent heart and a noble character comparable to that of a saint, I praise you!"
"But you're still dealing with high bills."
"Li, I am willing to pay with my life, I just ask you to save my father."
Li Fushou took a deep look at Fiona, moved by the purity and kindness she showed at this moment, nodded and continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
"Seattle City Hospital will provide the best conditions for recuperation, the best specialists, and the best medicines, but none of this will guarantee your father's life, pray to God, girl."
"Thank you!"
Fiona's beautiful big eyes were full of tears, she left her seat and knelt down in front of Li Fushou's knees, pressed her face to his thighs, and said tightly with her hands; "Thank you, I am excited beyond words, I am willing to give all my body and soul to serve you, God bless!"
Li Fushou felt that his legs were soaked with warm tears, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere in the carriage, and he couldn't help but be speechless.
That one...... Ru Liang, how can you let me meet people later?
