Blue Star. Parallel worlds.

San Francisco, California, USA.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Zhou Qiao watched the medical staff in the clinic leave one after another, and he was excited.

He was originally a third-rate medical school graduate in China, his family was poor, unable to continue his studies, and he planned to find a township hospital to live after graduation, but during the graduation season, he suddenly received the inheritance of his aunt from the other side of the ocean who had not been contacted for many years - a private clinic opened at 23 Powell Street in San Francisco.

The clinic is actually quite large, with three floors.

On the first floor, there is a nurse's table, a consultation room, a treatment room, a disposal room, and an infusion room.

The operating room on the second floor is equipped with a shoe changing room, a changing room, a shower room, and a shower room; and three wards with a total of six beds.

On the third floor is the dormitory for the aunt and two white nurses, as well as several utility rooms.

There are public restrooms on each floor, an elevator between the first and second floors, and bathrooms on the second and third floors.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, but it is a bit simple. But it also far exceeded Zhou Qiao's expectations.

It's much better than the average private clinic in China!

However, after he finished his aunt's funeral and inherited the estate through various cumbersome procedures, he found that after paying the inheritance tax, paying various bills, and paying off various debts, there were only a few hundred dollars in the clinic's account, and he could not even pay his salary.

Without money, all the people in the clinic were gone, and there were originally twelve or thirteen people, but now there are only three small ones left.

Zhou Qiao, Elena, and Ava.

"Why don't you leave?" Zhou Qiao said in English that he was not familiar with.

Although he was third-rate in college, he passed the fourth level in his sophomore year and the sixth level in his junior year, and his spoken language was stiff and lame, and he had to use translation software when he first came to the United States, but after a few days, he gradually understood it.

Although it is not standard, it can be understood by others, and simple communication is barrier-free.

I have to say, it's important to have a locale.

"Joe, you forgot, this is our home, where can we go?"

"Joe, are you going to drive us away?"

Elena and Ava are blonde and blue-eyed, with slender figures, graceful curves, crystal skin that is better than snow, and can pinch out water, at the age of eighteen or nineteen, it is the time of youth.

They did not go to university, but in the last year of vocational high school, they received professional training as nurses and then came to the clinic as nurses.

What's more, they are twins, standing together, Zhou Qiao can't tell which one is which!

And the voices are all the same bewildering, soft.

Now, both of them looked at Zhou Qiao pitifully like puppies, which made him feel a little swaying.

What, this kind of cute girl is definitely sought after by tens of thousands of people on college campuses, but there are two of them here! Still refusing to leave!

"Oh, I remember, my aunt's will seems to have mentioned that you are her adopted daughter since she was a child, and you have permanent residency in the room on the third floor." Zhou Qiao rubbed his temples and said, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these past few days, and I'm confused." ”

"It's alright, Joe."

"If only you didn't drive us away!"

Hearing Zhou Qiao remember, Elena and Ava were immediately happy and smiling like flowers.

Especially Elena, who secretly flew a wink at Zhou Qiao.

Although they have known each other for a short time, Elena already has a bit of a feeling of love at first sight, and she likes to peek at Zhou Qiao a few times when she has nothing to do.

I felt that this boy from the mysterious East was more attractive than the native American boys, and she couldn't sleep every night.

It's just that Zhou Qiao is too busy these days to know anything.

Zhou Qiao looked at these two white little sisters and couldn't help but think of Snow White. It's so white, it's dazzlingly white!

He was really tired, just out of the campus, he came to the other side of the ocean alone, and he had to handle the funeral, although there was President Zhang from Chinatown and a few Chinese villagers to help, but it was really not easy.

San Francisco is small, with a population of about 800,000, but nearly a quarter of the Chinese.

"It's not early," Zhou Qiao looked at the clock hanging in the hall on the first floor, it was almost time to eat, so he asked, "What do you eat at night?" ”

There is actually a small kitchen on the third floor, but it is basically idle, because the aunt basically does not cook, only eats fast food.

The two little white nurses said, "I'll have a cheeseburger and fries, and a cup of coffee." ”

"I don't want coffee, I want a cup of black tea."

Zhou Qiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "No wonder you are in such a good figure, black tea and coffee are both eaten and fat-removed." ”

Elena and Ava shrugged, equally cute and soft, with sweet smiles.

Zhou Qiao glanced at it several times, but he couldn't tell which one was which. In the past, they said this when they introduced themselves.

Zhou Qiao went to a burger restaurant called Entry and Exit not far outside, bought three fast foods, and brought them back.

The three of them were eating, and a postman suddenly sent a letter, Zhou Qiao opened it and looked at it, and his head suddenly became big!

It turned out to be a bill sent by a nearby medical testing company, and the clinic did not have a laboratory, so the patient needed to do blood and urine tests...... As well as X-ray, CT, MRI and other imaging examinations, you can go there for testing, monthly end.

More than $10,000 last month! This is estimated to be a "fish that slipped through the net", and the other party issued the bill late.

OMG!

Zhou Qiao almost wanted to die, the clinic only has a few hundred dollars in its account now, okay! I can't eat fast food for a few days, okay!

If Zhou Qiao is not mistaken, when handling the inheritance, the staff also specifically told him that although this clinic is his aunt's private property, which is sacred and inviolable, and now belongs to him, he still has to pay real estate tax every year.

Otherwise, the government has the right to confiscate and auction the property.

California's property tax rate is relatively low, only 1.25%, but this three-story clinic is worth at least $8 million, which means that you must pay $100,000 on time and in full every year!

This bill will be received around the end of September to the beginning of October and will be paid in two instalments.

The first instalment is generally paid before November, and there is a 10% penalty for paying beyond December 10. The second instalment is generally due in April, and there will also be a 10% penalty after April 10.

And this property tax will also change every year with the house price and tax rate, usually only going up but not down.

It's insane! It's almost August now!

Zhou Qiao wanted to go back and lie flat! How good is a township hospital in China! Close to home, can take care of both parents and elders. How spacious the house in the country! No taxes yet!

However, he only talked to his old father on the phone yesterday, and the old father choked up his words and told him to take good care of his aunt's property in the United States. That's my aunt's hard work all my life, and I can't be defeated in your hands! It can't be taken away by the Yankees!

The old father felt very sorry for his aunt.

In fact, Zhou Qiao didn't know much about the contradictions back then, because he was still relatively small at that time. The old father said that his aunt hugged him every day before she left home, and she liked to tease him the most, but Zhou Qiao was not impressed.

And the reason why the aunt ran away from home and never came back, and she didn't contact her family was because of a particularly tragic incident.

Back then, the aunt was in her prime, and she found a boyfriend, but she was a second marriage, relatively old, and had an oil bottle, after Zhou Qiao's grandparents found out, they naturally disagreed, and then the family quarreled!

beat the mandarin duck and was forced to break up.

After all, it's a soft aunt who can't resist the grandparents who are forced to die.

However, the man was obsessed with his aunt and couldn't stand the blow, so he lost his soul on the way back and died in a car accident.

The aunt was angry and broke with her family and ran away from home.

Grandparents scolded: "Don't come back after leaving!" ”

The aunt was tough: "Don't come back, don't come back!" I won't be coming back for the rest of my life! ”

Then, the aunt disappeared.

Who would have thought that after so many years, he would have made a career in a foreign country and had such a small clinic.

The aunt not only left the clinic to him, but also applied for a green card for him by sponsoring immigration before making a will.

Perhaps, what the old father told him that his aunt loved him the most when he was a child is true!

The aunt was also in a car accident, which was an accidental death, and ended her life in the same way as her lover back then.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiao suddenly felt furious: ", my aunt died accidentally, the police said it was not suicide, nor did he kill him." How could I make a will in advance and apply for a sponsored immigration for me? ”
