Chapter 153: What I Said on My Fifth Date (Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
In the afternoon.
Ji Sheng went to a law firm, and after negotiating the price, he signed a one-year legal counsel contract with the other party.
The contract includes the law firm dispatching resident lawyers, financial advisors, reasonable tax avoidance, and certain preferential relief in the event of litigation.
Then Ji Sheng took two lawyers from Brown's team and a financial adviser sent by the company to the company.
The two lawyers, named White and Hughes respectively, are only responsible for daily legal issues, equivalent to his employees, and if there is a major matter, Ji Sheng also needs to pay other fees for the firm's big lawyer to come forward.
The financial advisor is not resident, that is, he is usually not in the company, and he only needs to make a phone call when he has something, but even if he doesn't call someone to come over all year round, Ji Sheng still has to pay a certain fee every month.
The office building that Ji Sheng rents is not on Wall Street, where the rent is too expensive, but it is not too far from Wall Street.
Stand in an office area of about 500 square meters.
Ji Sheng pointed to the office closer to the outside and said to the two lawyers: "In the future, it will be your two offices, by the way, I want to spend $100,000 to invest in a Huaxia company, we only take equity, and do not interfere in the internal operation of this company, you can help me make the terms." ”
"Okay boss."
"Given to you tomorrow by noon."
White and Hughes responded.
Ji Sheng looked at the financial advisor again, "Ms. Jones, it just so happens that I have a venture capital plan here, and you can help you do it together, right?" “
"Okay, Mr. Ji." Ms. Jones asked, "What else did you promise other than a $100,000 investment?" ”
Ji Sheng said: "I told the other party to ask for 50% of the shares, and the others are the ones I just said." ”
"I'll come up with a plan as soon as possible." Ms. Jones said.
Brown accompanied him, "Mr. Ji, the headhunter has already asked you, and they said that they will help recruit your company's employees in the next few days, and you may have to conduct an interview in person." ”
Ji Sheng said, "Okay, thank you." ”
Brown asked, "Is there anything else?" Nothing happened, I went back first. ”
"It's okay......" Ji Sheng thought that he was going on a date tonight, and it was inconvenient to have a car, "Can you help me book a car for a day as soon as possible?" ”
"With a driver or without a driver? How good should the car be? Brown asked in detail, Ji Sheng spent hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in their law firm, and Brown must serve people well.
Don't look at Ji Sheng's spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in the current era in the law firm, it seems to be a waste, in fact, as long as the company is operating normally, the law firm may save more than hundreds of thousands of dollars in helping him reasonably avoid taxes every year.
Ji Sheng said: "I don't have a driver's license yet, get me a good car with a driver, I'll date." ”
Brown understood as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "No problem, if your company wants to reduce the burden, I can also help someone find you to talk to the car rental company about long-term car rental." ”
Ji Sheng pondered for a moment, and it was indeed a bit early to buy a company car now, after all, his company had just started driving, "Okay, then there will be Mr. Lawron you." ”
……
It's past four o'clock in the afternoon.
Ji Sheng sat in a rented Mercedes-Benz car, driven by a brown twenty-four or five-year-old young man.
Downstairs from an apartment in Brooklyn.
When Ji Sheng arrived, it was about 4:55 p.m., and he saw Jennifer. Aniston was already standing downstairs and waiting, so she asked the driver to drive over.
Today's Aniston wore a long black dress, and her golden curls were draped down the smooth forehead as if they were waving, looking very beautiful.
The car stopped.
Ji Sheng took the initiative to open the car door and went down, smiling and greeting, "Miss Aniston." ”
Jennifer. Aniston looked at him carefully and confirmed before saying, "You are Sheng. Season? After speaking, she hurriedly added, "I'm sorry, I can't tell the difference between the faces of the East." ”
Interracial effect, very normal.
Ji Sheng didn't take it to heart, "It's okay, let's get in the car?" ”
Aniston noticed the Mercedes-Benz car, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise, Mercedes-Benz is positioned as a high-end brand in European and American countries, although Mercedes-Benz is not a luxury car in the eyes of the real rich, but for a poor person like Aniston, Mercedes-Benz can be regarded as a top luxury car, she was quite surprised while sitting in the car: "Is this your car?" ”
Ji Sheng also got into the car, "No, it's rented." ”
Aniston said weakly: "It's expensive to rent such a good car, right?" ”
Ji Sheng closed the car door and said the name of the restaurant to the driver, and then came back to his senses and smiled: "It's not expensive, two hundred a day." ”
Aniston stammered: "Two hundred is not expensive, isn't it?" ”
Her family was very wealthy before she was ten years old, her father was an actor, and her mother was a model, but unfortunately when she was ten years old, the family changed drastically, and her father did not say goodbye, and life became tight, especially after adulthood, families in beautiful countries generally do not give their children money to spend, and even many people apply for student loans to go to school, student loans are a very terrible thing in beautiful countries, graduation is equal to debt, and many people continue to repay tuition debts ten years after graduation.
Ji Sheng once saw a piece of news that some beautiful Chinese people have not paid off their student loans at the age of 60, which can be imagined how terrible it is.
Don't look at the average family income in the beautiful country now reaches 50,000 US dollars, it seems to be very rich, in fact, the gap between the rich and the poor is very large, like Aniston as a waiter, it is good to have a monthly income of more than 1,000 US dollars, and this more than 1,000 US dollars has to pay rent, food, insurance, etc., and it is fortunate to have three or four hundred dollars of pocket money left.
So Aniston was so surprised when she heard that Ji Sheng spent two hundred dollars to rent a car, she originally thought about making an AA with Ji Sheng tonight, but who knew that it would be two hundred dollars to rent a car, which made her a little worried.
Ji Sheng didn't know what Aniston thought at all, he just smiled and said: "For the people you value, no matter how much money you spend, you won't feel expensive." ”
This sentence is very rhetorical, but Aniston is not disgusted at all, and just says, "Thank you for taking it so seriously." ”
The car moved slowly.
At first, the two were a little silent.
But Ji Sheng deliberately led to the topic that Aniston was interested in, although he had not had much contact with Aniston, but he knew that Aniston was now a little girl with a dream of stardom, and he intended to talk about the film and television industry, and the two soon became acquainted.
“…… I went to auditions and people said I was too fat and ugly to be an actor. Aniston puffed.
Ji Sheng squirted when he heard it, "Say you're ugly?" Then the director is blind, right? ”
Aniston said helplessly: "Maybe I'm a little fat." ”
Ji Sheng took a closer look at her figure and found that she was indeed slightly plumper than when she saw it in the first season of "Friends", but it was not as fat as she was, "I think you're just right like this, girl, a little meat, you look more beautiful." ”
"That's what I told the audition director, but they don't think so." Aniston laughed bitterly: "I don't know if I will not be able to serve a plate for the rest of my life and not get the opportunity to participate in TV series or movies." ”
Speaking of this, Ji Sheng suddenly thought of what Aniston said to the media after becoming famous, and he took the opportunity to say it, "Life is a very individual thing, the more you ask for it, the more it ignores you, so it's good to just change your life yourself, grasp life with an optimistic and sunny mood, and it will obediently give you everything." ”
Although this sentence was said by Aniston after she became famous, but now that it came out of Ji Sheng's mouth, she had a deep resonance, and she couldn't help but look at Ji Sheng, her light blue eyes revealed a trace of emotional confusion, which looked very charming.
Ji Sheng couldn't help but look at it twice, I have to say that Aniston was so beautiful when she was young, the delicate white skin on her face was not as rough as most European and American girls, but had a white jade-like texture, and her sweetheart-like face made people want to take care of it.
The two looked at each other.
Ji Sheng could smell the faint perfume smell emanating from her, very fragrant, very tempting.
Originally, the atmosphere was quite ambiguous, but Aniston suddenly laughed out loud, "You look at me like this, it makes me feel like an animal in a zoo." ”
Ji Sheng picked up the nice words and said: "Even if it is an animal, then you must be the most beautiful peacock." ”
Aniston smiled sweetly, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
The two were chatting when the car stopped.
Ji Sheng looked out, it turned out that he had arrived at the Italian restaurant recommended to him by Jack Zhao, and he invited Aniston to get off.
……
It's a very high-end restaurant, and even the customer's dress code has a clear code, and you must wear a suit and formal attire.
The interior decoration is more dreamy.
Aniston seemed a little unaccustomed to coming to such a high-end restaurant, and hesitated to order.
Ji Sheng didn't know that she still had the idea of the AA system, but seeing that she ordered very little, he probably guessed why, and recommended a few dishes without a trace.
At the end, the dishes came up one by one during the chat.
Appetizers are vegetable salad and ham.
Ji Sheng ordered soup and pizza for the first plate, and it was when he was eating the first plate that the relationship between the two ushered in the first sublimation during the chat.
"How many girlfriends have you talked to before?" Aniston asked casually.
Ji Sheng instinctively wanted to tell the truth, but he didn't know why the scene in the first season of "Friends" where Monica was deceived by the emotional liar Paul came up in his mind, and he slightly changed a love experience he had talked about, saying: "I had a relationship when I was in school, but unfortunately it ended in failure." ”
Aniston wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
"She was out on a date with other boys behind my back." Ji Sheng said half-truthfully.
Aniston sympathized: "Oh my God, how could it be? ”
Ji Sheng teased her: "When she goes to hairdressing four or five times a week, I should know in my heart, I mean you can wash your hair every day, but you don't have to go to the barber shop almost every day, right?" ”
Aniston bowed his head and said, "My half-brother also encountered this kind of thing, but his girlfriend went to the dentist, and he was also very entangled, how did you survive?" ”
Ji Sheng blinked and said, "You can try to accidentally smash her valuables, such as her ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Aniston replied, "Smash her face? ”
Burst.
Ji Sheng didn't expect her to be so strong in her bones, and was amused, "That's also a choice, as for me, I smashed her watch." ”
Aniston was surprised: "You really broke her watch?" ”
"Yes." Ji Sheng said, continuing to tease her: "Since she dumped me, I have ......"
"What's wrong? Are you going to talk about it while you make the soup with a spoon? Aniston wondered.
Ji Sheng recounted Paul's classic quote from cheating on girls: "No, this should have been said on the fifth date. ”
Aniston smiled, "So there's going to be a fifth date?" ”
Ji Sheng asked her rhetorically, "Don't you want to?" ”
Aniston hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Think, I think, what did you want to say just now?" ”
If you follow Paul's classic routine, the next thing is to say a sentence that makes people spray tea and sympathize.
Ji Sheng also believed that there was a high probability that he could deceive the "cannon" by doing this, but he didn't know why, looking at Aniston's clear eyes, he temporarily changed his mind, "Why don't you leave it until the fifth date?" The premise is that you don't date anyone else anymore. ”
Before there was no definite relationship between a man and a woman in a beautiful country, it was not uncommon to date ten people at the same time.
Once both parties have promised not to date other people again, they are willing to manage the relationship well, and they may not immediately become boyfriend and girlfriend, but before your famous words say "separate", as long as both parties are not scumbags, they will basically not date anyone else.
Ji Sheng was a little nervous when he said this, after all, he and Aniston had only gone on their first date, and they hadn't even finished a meal, so it seemed rude to rashly propose that people not date other people.
But he is a Chinese, and he is more conservative in his concept of feelings, and he can't accept dating the girl he is dating with other men at the same time, of course, he will also abide by the rules of feelings, if Aniston really promises that he will no longer date others, he will definitely not date other girls in this time and space, well, modern society does not count, at least for now, no girl can replace Shen Xia's position in his mind.
It's just that Ji Sheng didn't know if Aniston would agree to such a request, so he looked over expectantly.
