Lili was stunned for a moment, looked at the thin young man in front of him who was smiling, but his eyes were unusually firm, sighed quietly, and nodded helplessly, since he abandoned the child when he needed mother's love the most, it was difficult for him to correct it when his character had already formed.

The atmosphere of lunch became dull, and Zhang Lisheng hastily ate a few bites, and then planned to go upstairs to continue his experiment, just at this moment, his mobile phone rang again.

This call came from George, and as soon as Zhang Lisheng answered the phone, the noisy black boy shouted sharply: "Li Sheng, are you at home, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, come and find me at Du Ze's butcher's shop, I will take you to a good place and meet an unexpected person." ”

"George, has your brother come back from his trip?" asked Zhang Lisheng with a shock in his spirits.

After returning from Amazon, the boy has been troubled by the vague words such as 'bookmarks' and 'books' that Tubalin said, and he wants to find George's genius brother who is also studying 'bookmarks'.

"I won't tell you the buddy now, anyway, you come to me right now, I'll wait for you, hurry!" George said in a very sloppy tone, and hung up.

Zhang Lisheng said 'Hey, hey...", in vain, put his mobile phone in his pocket, hesitated, and finally put on his backpack and went out of the house.

Against the cold wind, he trotted all the way to the public parking lot not far from his home, and drove his 'navigator' towards Du Ze's butcher shop.

The roads in New York City were congested over the weekend, and it took more than an hour to stop and stop all the way, and Zhang Lisheng finally parked his car on the road near the butcher shop.

He was about to get out of the car when there was a knock on the window. "Man, open the car door, it's freezing outside. ”

It was George standing outside the window, Zhang Lisheng opened the car door, looked at his friend who hurriedly opened the door and rushed into the passenger seat, and couldn't help but say: "George, are you stupid, you won't wait in the butcher shop when it's cold." ”

"If you're at the butcher's shop, it's too late, listen, man, you're in luck today.

Now I'll show you the way. We went to a delicious pizzeria with two beautiful girls waiting for us. ”

"After listening to your most deceitful words just now, I felt that it wasn't your brother who was going back to New York, but even if I guessed, I still came to see you with the hope of just in case.

George, can you please stop playing this boring and childish game. I understand your good intentions, but..."

"Don't say goodbye to Li Sheng, the girls are waiting for us, let's go!" George shouted excitedly, and then even improvised a rap, "Yo Yo, Yo Yo Yo, the street in front is colorful..."

"Shut up George, you'll come out with me next time. Unless there is a reason for saying the past, it is best not to call at all. Zhang Li yelled angrily and started the car.

Under the guidance of George's shouting and pointing, Zhang Lisheng drove around the streets of New York for a long time, and finally heard a voice from his friend. "Arrived, pulled over, this is it. He parked the car on the side of the road.

It was cold and windy to get out of the car. It was the warmest sun at more than two o'clock in the afternoon, but there seemed to be no trace of temperature, Zhang Lisheng stomped his feet, and suddenly saw George shouting, "Quick, hurry up is the 'Uncle John's Steak Pizzeria' opposite." He ran across the street and rushed into a fast-food restaurant.

"Hell, even if you want to live an ordinary life right now, it's too extravagant to waste time on such ridiculous things. Zhang Lisheng frowned and looked at the bearded uncle of Mi Guo who was driving the fat cow on the sign of the pizza shop, sighed, and walked across the road talking to himself.

Pushing the door into the store, a warmth greeted him, the young man shivered pleasantly, turned his head to look around, and saw George sitting in a position by the window in the pizzeria, waving to him with his white teeth bared.

Next to the black boy sat a short girl with braces, and a girl with blond hair and blue eyes, delicate facial features, and a high nose.

Zhang Lisheng paused in surprise, walked to George and sat down, and looked at the beautiful blonde girl opposite without saying a word.

"How about man, just look at your eyes, you don't regret it now," George said proudly, "I'm going to order food, what do you want to eat?"

"I had lunch at home.

Miss Maddie, I didn't expect you to be in touch with George after the New Year's Ball, and I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet you again. ”

"Hey, Li Sheng, you can't talk to a girl so roughly, it's Linna who has been in contact with Maddie during this time, and they are now very good friends.

In Maddie, Lina learned a lot..."Hearing that Zhang Lisheng's tone was wrong, George was stunned for a moment, and said with a rare seriousness on his face.

"George, don't blame Mr. Li Sheng, there are some things you don't know, can you let me talk to him alone?"

"Oh, hell, you, you have a 'story' that I don't know!" Maddie's words made George return to a hippie smile in shock, "Sorry man, I obviously underestimated your 'ability', I didn't expect you to carry me and Maddie on my back in addition to a trip to the Amazon...

OK, don't pinch me Linna, I'll leave with you right away, we're far away. ”

As he spoke, he picked up his girlfriend and ran out of the pizzeria.

Watching his friend walk away from the window, Zhang Lisheng said expressionlessly: "Miss Maddie, I really can't think of it, why are you looking for me, do you think I didn't pay you enough that night?"

I don't know that the satisfied person is the most disliked, and the boy doesn't look too angry on the surface, but in fact, the girl opposite answers a wrong word, and it is likely that he will not see the sun tomorrow again.

"Of course not, I've heard the fable of 'The Fisherman and the Goldfish' since I was a child, and as an ordinary person, I..."

"Don't go around in circles, can you just say something?"

Maddie was silent for a while, then said with difficulty, "I think you should find out that I broke my promise that night and cashed the check for two thousand yuan you gave..."

"I didn't find it, please tell me the point, I have limited time. Zhang Lisheng said calmly.

His bland and condescending attitude actually hurts people's self-esteem more than arrogance, but because she felt guilty, the girl couldn't refute it, so she could only endure the humiliation and said: "Mr. Zhang Lisheng, I, I, my family has encountered difficulties, I am really desperate, I have to, I have to cash the check you left..."

"I thought you tore up that check while you were scolding me. ”

"I, ha, whatever you say, whatever you want, anyway, I've been looked down upon since I was a child.

No matter how hard you work and are motivated, you still have to be different from other children.

Just because of my parents, I was born inferior..."

Seeing that Maddie became a little hysterical, Zhang Lisheng fell silent, and after a while, he said, "You seem to have encountered some difficulties?"

"What, what are you talking about, do you want to laugh at me, come on, I'm going to 'stand on the street' in the East End anyway, and many girls I know have done that..."Maddie said in a trance.

"If you're still so mad, then I'll leave immediately, and if you want my help, tell me exactly what happened. ”

The girl was stunned, gasped for breath and took a few breaths, but she really calmed down slowly, and told an old-fashioned sad story, which was nothing more than her father's serious illness and dying, and there was only a glimmer of life.

"Isn't there a universal medical insurance in the United States?"

"In public hospitals, hundreds of thousands of cancer patients die every year, while in private hospitals, as long as surgery can be performed in time to ensure postoperative treatment, even for advanced cancer, the annual mortality rate is less than 30%.

And cancer, as long as it survives the first year, has more and more vitality. ”

"Yes, there is such a thing," Zhang Lisheng thought for a while and said: "But it's not surprising, since it's free medical care, it is inevitable that there will be a few discounts."

So you were forced to be helpless, so you thought of me. ”

Maddie nodded wordlessly.

"Miss Tina, I'm not a 'savior,' and you and I just have a somewhat complicated employment relationship..."

"Mr. Lisheng, I, I was born in the blue-collar area of New York, I, I know a lot, and I can do everything.

I beg you, it's only 50,000 meters, and it's worth it if you buy a car, and now, as long as you give me 50,000 meters, you can get everything from me...

I can promise you anything, as long as you can, you can save my dad, please, please!"

Zhang Lisheng's heart moved, looked at the girl carefully, and suddenly said: "I can promise anything, this is a promise that cannot be easily said, especially when facing a 'witch'." ”

"I, I, I know, but I do, I swear. ”

"Don't swear," the boy muttered for a moment, then took the check holder from his pocket, wrote a check, and placed it on the table, "if you can really make up your mind that you can say yes to anything, then you can take this check."

Remember, take it away, you are my servant, and you must obey all my commands in the future, think it carefully before making a decision. ”

Seeing the check on the table with a light green pattern on a white background and a signature pen written 'Fiftythousand' (fifty thousand), it was obviously her dream, but Maddie couldn't reach out at this time.

She knew very well that this check, which might have saved her father's life at this time, was like a devil's contract, and taking it was equivalent to signing her name on the contract.

The thin, thin-looking boy in front of him will naturally have the ability to never break this 'contract'. (To be continued.) )
