The skies over New York are completely different from last month.

The sky was gloomy and dark, and the lead-colored clouds were very low.

It's as if they're going to fall from the sky and wipe out all the skyscrapers in Manhattan.

& On the 7th of the month.

New York received its first snow of the year.

In previous years, the first snow in New York.

It usually doesn't come until the end of November or the beginning of December.

This year is much earlier.

This is because this year's climate is a typical "La Niña" phenomenon

La Niña and El Niño are two terms in climatology.

When there is an El Niño in the middle of the year, the global climate is generally warm this year.

By and large, the world will have a warm winter.

To put it simply, El Niño is hot in the summer and hot in the winter.

La Niña is a different kind of climate phenomenon.

It is that the hotter the summer, the colder the winter.

Usually after an El Niño, La Niña will follow.

It just so happened that last year was El Niño.

This year, the global climate is generally warmer, and the summer in New York is even hotter.

Now winter is here.

La Niña is coming.

The hot and dry summer of New York brings out the bitter cold of the winter of New York that arrives early.

This year's New York is much colder than last year.

In New York this year, the first snow also came very early.

Smith Building, Queens.

Fourth-floor office, from yesterday to last night.

Abel was with all the company's owners and never left the Smith Building.

Although there are reasons why Abel also attaches more importance to this short-term investment of 10 billion US dollars.

But in fact, he also wants to practice Smith Capital.

He wanted to give it a try.

What kind of extent can Smith Capital go when it comes to large capital operations.

This also makes it easier for him to make adjustments in the future.

In order to cope with the investment behavior that will become more frequent and larger in the future.

This is the first of its kind, turning the entire company into a financial safe house.

This is not common on Wall Street.

That is, Smith Capital is still small and not in a narrow environment on Wall Street.

Have your own separate building with enough office space.

to do so.

If you change to Goldman Sachs, they obviously can't do it.

At least they can't do it in an office building.

Let tens of thousands of employees not leave for days and nights, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all inside.

In contrast, after the Rock Security was settled.

Abel also asked David Jones to bring in the corresponding service team.

In the coming period.

Employees throughout Smith Capital, including David Mellon.

They'll be in the Smith building all the time.

Eating, drinking, sleeping, and work, all of them can't leave.

Nor can I communicate with the outside world.

The corresponding chefs, doctors, and even masseurs are ready.

They don't have to leave the building and can enjoy these relaxing treatments.

Outside the building, Rock Security, which had just been expanded, sent more than 50 bodyguards to surround the entire company.

While preventing outsiders from visiting, it also prevents people in the building from going out.

At the same time, Abel also contacted David Jones about the company's Internet service provider and other corresponding companies.

Avoid sudden network disconnection or power failure during operation.

This was something he remembered in hindsight.

This also left Abel decided.

After this time, the Smith building should also be inside, designing its own generators, as well as backup network routes.

Avoid some of the physical harassment that comes with engaging in a big-money battle like today's.

There's nothing wrong with that.

That's Wall Street.

Pulling out the network cable is such a thing, people can really do it!

Since this was the first time this had happened, Abel did not leave the company last night.

He also slept at the Smith Building for one night.

When I woke up, I hadn't washed yet.

Abel was next to the window and saw the first snow falling in the sky.

Abel, who has no writing skills, has an adjective for this - "weird and beautiful".

He was in his office, washed up.

After changing into a set of clothes prepared in the office.

Then he left the office and walked outside.

In the Secretariat Division, Catherine and the other secretaries were not seen.

In this capital battle, there is basically no need for the administration department of Smith Capital.

They had been evacuated yesterday and had gone back to Woolworths for the time being.

to respond to and handle Smiths Capital's external business.

Coming down from the fourth floor, the third floor is the company's trading floor.

When Abel came down, it was just after nine o'clock in the morning.

He saw David Mellon holding a glass of water and a toothbrush.

Mouthfuls of foam, walking around the traders on the trading floor, brushing their teeth while staring at the market.

Seeing this scene, Abel suddenly relaxed a lot.

I have to say that the dividend of 2% of dry shares is the right one for David Mellon.

Not to mention his background in the early days of Wall Street, David Mellon's help in the formation of Smith Capital.

In the capital market alone, David can provide himself with a lot of help.

Like this, the whole audience is closely watching, and always pay attention to the global foreign exchange market.

Abel felt that he couldn't do it.

That's too much energy and time, and it requires a lot of relevant knowledge.

What's more, David still has Mellon's identity, which is also a great help for his foothold on the East Coast.

After more than a year of getting along, the two have also developed a good relationship.

For David's left arm and right arm, Abel really values it.

He took advantage of the fact that David's employees didn't notice him and didn't bother them, and left quietly.

As the boss, he didn't need to be here with them to be silent.

That's too boring.

He just needs to come and take a look once in a while, and pay attention to the market of the British currency pair anytime and anywhere.

After leaving the Smith Building, after crossing the obstacles set up by the rock security.

Abel's motorcade came to Queen's Road.

"Let's go to Midtown Manhattan."

The black atmosphere of the Rolls-Royce Phantom in the rear compartment.

Abel commanded calmly.

The weather in New York today is snowy and windy, and it is not suitable for helicopter flights.

Abel wanted to go into Manhattan, but he could only choose to go in by car.

In this kind of weather.

If you take a helicopter, the risk is too high.

Just don't take a helicopter, get in and out of Manhattan, and have to get stuck in traffic.

Sure enough, it only takes about ten minutes to get there by helicopter.

It also includes the time taken for take-off and landing.

And taking the car in, even if there is not much traffic jam, the distance of several miles took more than half an hour.

Half an hour later.

The convoy arrived at 521 West 23rd Street in Midtown Manhattan.

& is a ten-storey residential building with seven units.

The house was built in 1914 and is more than 80 years old.

Many buildings in Manhattan are so old, but even in 2022 they are still usable and expensive.

It is one of the most expensive old buildings in the world.

Abel is here, with a two-storey duplex house.

Located on the top two floors, it is also the most expensive of the two floors.

6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, with an interior area of about 7820 square feet.

Strata fees are $4,182 per month and property taxes are $8,489 per month.

When he bought it last month, it cost almost $23 million.

It was a little more expensive than the eighteenth floor of the Carnegie Hill Building on Fifth Avenue where he had lived with Anne Hathaway.

Not to mention anything else, just $12,000 a month in land taxes and property fees.

In this country, 99.9999% of the people cannot afford to live.

The woman who lives here now, her name is Charlize Theron.

Charlize came to New York this time, not just to accompany Abel.

Before she met Abel, her career had actually been on the rise.

After meeting Abel.

experienced the fanatical exposure of the "Smith Girl" in the Smith storm a while ago.

Her popularity, which was already on the rise, has risen several notches in a short period of time.

Although there are no very famous, or particularly outstanding works.

But already because of exposure and fame.

In a short period of time, he has received many invitations to endorsements and commercial activities.

She had been busy with that in Los Angeles before.

This time I came to New York, I came to work on these lists.

So in the past two days, Abel didn't accompany her much during the day.

She also lived a fulfilling life, meeting two or three people from the brand company every day.

I have to negotiate contracts and shoot dailies again, so I can say that I am very busy.

Like several of Abel's other Manhattan residences.

There are also some staff members of the Rock Security stationed here.

This allowed Able to enter the house and come to Charlize Theron without any hindrance.

Charlize Theron didn't go out this morning.

She only has an event in the afternoon, and in the evening she has to attend a charity event for a luxury brand.

So in the morning, she was still relatively free.

This made Abel meet her in the apartment and find that the future Hollywood famous emperor is actually playing games in the warm living room.

Play is, PS2 for short.

It is the second generation of 128-bit home game consoles launched by Sony this year, and it is an upgrade of the PS with a great improvement in functionality.

Basically, Abel has a few residences on this side of Manhattan.

Both have PS2 consoles in existence.

This is what he uses to kill time.

Last time I played with Jessica, I had a very cool time.

"I didn't think you'd play this?" Abel smiled and sat down beside her.

Charlize turned his face sideways, glanced at him charmingly, and said, "I'm only 25 years old, and I'm a young man!"

"And it's so cold outside today. It's snowing, and I'm fine in the morning and don't want to go out."

"What else can I do but play games here?"

"Hahaha~"

Abel smiled, and then went straight to the headlights.

"Ah! Wait a minute, wait until I'm done with this one!"

"That's not going to work. You play your game, I play my own."

"Uh-huh~~Uhhhh

Charlize Theron, who was attacked, let out a coquettish groan.

She looked up and found that the female bodyguard who was originally in the living room, playing games and reading books with her, was no longer there.

The whole living room, now only himself and Abel are left.

She immediately understood, this morning

This time, he was destined to be unable to escape.

"Hmph~" she snorted proudly, trying to put down the console controller.

No way, who told the boss to want to eat her peach again?

But this action was stopped by Abel.

Abel asked her to pick up the console's controller again.

"Keep playing yours."

"You play your own, I play my own. It's better that we don't interfere with each other."

Listening to his words, Charlize Theron immediately understood his intentions.

This guy

She bit her lip and glanced at him.

How can it be possible not to interfere with each other?

This hasn't started yet, and I can't bear it.

But if you can't bear it, you have to carry it.

Charlize Theron knew this guy was good for it.

She had to endure the strange, comfortable feeling that was getting stronger and stronger.

I continued to play with the latest PS2 released this year.

A few hours later.

Charlize Theron had to temporarily suspend her afternoon outing.

The meeting with the brand in the afternoon was postponed until tomorrow.

Because she knows, in her current state.

It's not suitable for meeting outsiders, and I can't officially work.

Rather than so, it is better not to force it.

Have a good rest in the apartment, go out in the evening, and meet again tomorrow.

After she made the call, she was notified.

She was limp, sore and sore.

Charlize was lying on the sofa with a soft woolen blanket in his arms, squinting at Abel who was refreshed and putting his blazer on his body.

looked at Abel's energetic and excellent condition.

Charlize's heart was briefly confused.

Didn't you say that there were only badly ploughed oxen, and there were no spoiled fields?

Why does the cow seem to have nothing to do now, and it can plough dozens of acres of land.

His "field" seems to have been bombarded by hundreds of millions of bombs.

I can't get up again, and I'm not far from being "broken".

This is not the first time Charlize Theron has doubted life.

It should be said that . Every time she makes Abel happy.

She had to secretly doubt her life like this afterwards.

She even secretly consulted one of her female personal doctors for this purpose.

The other party told her.

Certain men, indeed, have a strong dominance in this regard.

This is the type that belongs to one in ten thousand, and may even be one in a million.

At that time, the old driver, the female doctor, had an expression of "you have to cherish it if you meet it".

That look made Charlize wonder if he could say Abel's name.

The other party is estimated to be sent to the door.

Because the private female doctor is not very old and looks good.

There is still a bit of grace and capital.

Really sent to the door, Charlize suspects that this guy Abel may not refuse!

This caused Charlize to cut off contact with this personal female doctor after that.

Hum!

Plough my cow, you also want to use this blue pool?

How can it be!

She was holding the blanket like this, covering most of her body, when she was thinking nonsense.

But when he saw Abel, who was already dressed, he walked up to him and kissed him lightly on his face that was still dripping with fine beads of sweat.

Then he was heard saying:

"Rest well. I'm going back to Texas in the afternoon, and I'm probably going to be there for a few days, and I probably won't be able to stay here with you next."

Charlize made a sigh of relief and deliberately said:

"I can't ask for it! If you're here every day, I wouldn't have to go to work!

」

But in fact, when I heard that Abel was by his side for the next few days, he couldn't be by his side.

The young Saihuang is still a little reluctant.

"If you say that, then I'll take you away?! You can hand over your work to AA to talk about!" Abel "threatened."

Charlize was stunned.

Because she thought.

If you were really alone, you would stay with Abel for a few days.

She couldn't imagine what she would be "destroyed" into.

Once in a day or two, once in a while, you can bear it.

Come in the morning and afternoon, or every day.

She thinks she might all die young!

"I was wrong." Charlize admits defeat:

"I'm actually reluctant to let you go. But if you have to work, I have to work, and I can't accompany you, it's my fault. I'm sorry~"

"Haha~"

Able laughed and said, "Okay, then you don't need to go."

"That's right. In the afternoon, someone will bring me a couple of optional manuals for private jets."

"You pick, pick some of your favorite decorations, and then give them to the other person."

Charlize: "????"

What is a Private Jet Option Manual?

She didn't quite understand Abel's words.

Abel explained:

"I bought another Gulfstream G400, and when it comes down, I'll rent AA or MGM. But the right to use it is at the disposal of me, the chairman. And you, dear Ms. Theron, I am willing to share this dominance with you."

"Simply put." Abel said flatly.

"Half a year or a year later. You'll have a brand new private jet at your disposal. And you don't have to spend money to raise it~"

"And now, some of the decorations on the plane, and some functional options, it's up to you to decide."

"Got it?"

Abel said it so clearly, Charlize probably didn't understand.

Her beautiful eyes were already wide, and she couldn't believe that Abel actually "gifted" a private jet to herself.

Although he only has the right to dominate and use.

But you don't have to raise it, what's the difference between giving it to yourself?

The whole of Hollywood, among the actors.

There are very few people who can afford to sit on a private jet!

For a moment, Charlize Theron fell into great joy.

The powerful vanity peculiar to Hollywood women is greatly satisfied in this moment.

Just like Jessica almost two months ago.

By the time Charlize had come to his senses from the great satisfaction of his vanity.

Abel had already left the apartment.

Looking at the empty living room, and the messy appearance around it.

as well as in the air.

If there is none, the smell of "seafood" that even the fresh air system can't quickly eliminate.

Charlize put his beautiful body and lay back on the couch lazily.

She looked at the ceiling of the chandelier above her head and was stunned.

Charlize felt that he was probably inseparable from Abel.

Don't talk about the contract.

It's just that in terms of material and that way, I may not be able to leave him.

She remembered the conversation she had with her mother that night a month ago.

At this moment,

She felt that her mother was right.

Women must have men after all, and they must give men F after all.

so

What is the use of a marriage contract and a marriage certificate?

It can guarantee the purity of marriage and the longevity of love.

Can two people be guaranteed to grow old with each other?

Not really.

At least in the entertainment industry, Charlize Theron knows that the peer couples who can grow old together may not even have 1% in proportion.

Case

I am in this state now.

The way I am now.

It seems to be pretty good.

He has always been arrogant and very self-reliant.

When I signed the contract, I thought about Charlize who would fly away after the contract ended.

She couldn't bear the sugar-coated cannonball from Abel anymore.
