Chapter 477 A New Day
new York.
under night.
The bright lights of Manhattan~
If someone looks down from the air, in this steel jungle lined with high-rise buildings, it seems that the area on the west side of midtown Manhattan has the most dazzling lights~
. . .
John F. Kennedy International Airport, Queens.
The small convoy of four cars gradually accelerated and headed towards Manhattan.
on the way.
David, who was sitting alone in the back seat, smiled at the driver Giovanni and said, "Let's go home directly~"
"Livlin is going to take them to the Blue Crystal Hotel to play with Lilith all night long..."
Giovanni glanced at the rearview mirror, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Is it a lingerie party?"
"Um...you went to the fashion show too?"
"Hahaha~"
Giovanni patted the steering wheel hard, gave David a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Boss, you are so awesome!"
"That fashion show made everyone dumbfounded~"
“Especially the underwear show that is the finale!”
“Milan La and Madonna’s angel wing suits are so beautiful~”
"How did you come up with the idea?"
"Hahaha~"
David forced a helpless smile on his face, spread his hands and said, "That's fashion design! It's art!"
"Understand?"
"Hahahaha~I understand, I understand~"
"I want to get some sets for my wife Jin Ji to wear at home... let's appreciate your art together! But Shirley just ignores me~"
"Can you help me?"
"No!" David rolled his eyes and turned to look out the window.
"I haven't been home these days, has anything happened?"
"Yes~"
"us.."
. . .
This small convoy of four cars separated at an intersection after entering Manhattan~
Twenty minutes later.
42nd Street, above Wildfire Bar.
David closed the door with his heels, held Susan hanging on him with his arms, and fell into the sofa in the living room.
The two looked at each other silently for a few seconds with their noses touching, and then kissed passionately again~
This kiss is very long~
It wasn't until they both felt it was a little difficult to breathe that they slowly separated~
. . .
David adjusted his breathing, looked at the blushing Susan, and said softly: "I have something to tell you."
"... Me too! You go ahead and say it!"
"it is good!"
"I went to London this time and met a lot of people and encountered a lot of things..."
"We attended a cocktail party at Whistler's manor..."
"We went to the stadium and watched Arsenal play..."
"We visited the small city of Oxford with Gerald..."
"We sang in a small bar..."
"We went to Astor Hall Manor and visited Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire..."
"We are in Hyde Park, London..."
"I thought of a hotel cooperation plan..."
"I'm on my way to the London School of Economics..."
"I sat on the street and looked up at the dark cloudy sky, and then I really figured it out..."
"I'm very selfish and greedy!"
"Always!"
"I'm so lucky to have you~ but I can't erase the shadow of Polly in my heart~"
"Especially after I learned that she was divorced, I have been restraining myself!"
"Control my desires, restrain my greed, restrain my irrationality..."
"Susan~"
"I.."
"Stop talking~"
Susan bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, and she showed a bitter smile.
"I know ~ I've always known it!"
"I know that from the day you left the Wildfire Bar, I will never be able to catch you again."
"Do you remember how we got together?"
"Remember how many times you asked me to move here, but I refused?"
"The more successful you are, the smaller I feel..."
David gently wiped away the tears on Susan's face with his hand, and said with an extremely guilty smile: "It's all my fault..."
"No~ you..."
"I see!"
"Actually, we talked about this before Polly left for London!"
"...Have you talked about it???"
Susan bit her lip, lowered her head, and whispered: "I sent a letter and some money to my family a few days ago..."
. . .
5 minute later.
David frowned and wiped away the tears on Susan's face, feeling mixed emotions in his heart for a moment. .
On the plane back, he prepared in his mind for a long time how to explain this to Susan. .
Unexpectedly, Polly had already figured this out? ?
Beside the bed, David looked at Susan with a complex expression, as if he saw something in her slightly pure eyes. .
"Dang~dang~" a knock on the door came.
David and Susan were stunned at the same time.
Then, there was a sound of opening the door~
Polly's figure soon appeared in the living room.
David frowned and glanced at the closed door behind Polly: "Are you alone?"
Polly pursed her lips and nodded, sat next to David and Susan, and said softly: "David, can Susan and I chat for a few minutes first?"
"you think.."
"Believe me!"
David frowned and looked directly at Polly, falling into a brief silence~
Susan wiped the tears on her face and answered for him~
"..good!"
"David, can you give us five minutes?"
"No!...I'm right here!"
"Then... let's go to the bedroom!"
"you.."
"go!"
"Hey~ you guys are..."
"No eavesdropping!"
"..."
David felt his head was a little dizzy, and he looked at Polly and Susan blankly, holding hands with each other, and quickly walked into the bedroom. .
"Tsk~"
"fxxx!"
He rubbed his forehead with his hands, stood up, poured himself a large glass of wine, and drank a few gulps~
Then, he stared at the closed bedroom door in the distance with a look mixed with bitterness. .A ridiculous smile.
. . .
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, and it seemed to have stopped again.
In front of David's eyes, he quickly recalled the scenes and fragments of being with Susan and Polly. .
"click~"
The bedroom door is open~
Polly hugged Susan with a smile on her face, walked up to David, pushed Susan into his arms, and smiled.
"How can you thank me?"
"..you?"
Polly crossed her arms and looked at Susan~
Susan bit her lip a few times and whispered: "...I won't leave~"
"real?!"
"Ok!"
"Really!?" David turned to look at Polly in surprise, surprise, and awe, and asked again.
"Ok!"
"..Haha~"
"it is good!!"
"Thank you for tolerating my greed and selfishness!"
"Hahaha~ You are a bastard!"
"Yes, I am a bastard! A bastard who can never live without you!"
"Hahaha~"
----
Manhattan.
Blue Crystal Hotel.
Lilith's room, in the living room.
Livlin, Toby, Tilda, Elena, Cui Yingying, and Maggie, each holding a glass of red wine in their hands, took turns telling Lilith about all kinds of interesting things they had experienced during their trip to London. Experience~
There were bursts of laughter, and the outer packaging of the trophies and shopping bags was torn open. .
Lilith looked at the pile of gifts in front of her with some dumbfounding, and sighed: "It seems that I have to clean out the cabinet again..."
"Hahahaha~"
. . .
This time, the ladies-only gathering entered another "happy moment" as Lilith took out several sets of underwear shown in the underwear show. .
Livlin looked at her hands with disgust. .Palm-sized underwear, complained.
"David is such a bastard!"
"Hahaha~"
"Are these underwear designed by David??" Tilda Swinton, who is only 18 years old this year, looked at the underwear in front of her with a red face and asked in a low voice.
"Yes~"
"There are also several sets of underwear that were only shown once at that fashion show..."
"Oh? They..."
"Shirley said they are not for sale. Only if David nods in agreement will he make a few more sets."
"Ah oh~"
"Could it be that... David gave these underwear to..."
"Hehe~"
"Guess, can Polly come back?"
"..bet?"
"Don't gamble!"
"Why should I bet on something that is bound to lose?"
"Hahaha~"
Livlin picked up the wine glass again, touched it with the glass in Lilith's hand, and whispered into her ear.
"What about you? Do you have any objection?"
Lilith showed a charming smile and shook her head: "I am looking forward to the engagement ceremony with him!"
"Cut~"
"Hahaha~"
. . .
soon~
While the women were chatting and laughing, they drank a few bottles of red wine they brought back from London~
Elena stood up with a blushing face, called the waiter, opened two more bottles of red wine, poured a round for everyone, sat down and asked Tilda.
"What did you and David talk about on the plane?"
"Can you tell us something?"
"Of course~"
Tilda's fresh apples were crimson, she shook the wine glass in her hand and smiled.
"He said that Deborah persuaded me to come to New York just because she wanted me to leave for a while... that relatively closed circle~"
"He said that when he was the same age as me, he came to New York alone to look for a job. He met a lot of people and encountered a lot of things..."
"He said that my outlook on life, in addition to faith, also requires setting more goals and not just looking at the small things in front of me."
"He said that my family has given me a generous life, but it cannot give me a life of my own. I can only try and find it myself~"
"He said that no matter which social class people are in, the pain they can experience is roughly the same. If you have money, you can't guarantee that everything will be worry-free; if you don't have money, you can also enjoy the freedom of having family around you~"
"He said that only by traveling around the world and seeing all aspects of life can he write the kind of poetry that resonates with the soul, rather than the stupid words that make people feel unreasonable."
"Hahahaha~"
"Any more?"
"Have!"
"He said that knowledge can open people up to a broader perspective, but it cannot tell me how to solve some small difficulties in life~"
"He said that even if my family loves me very much, it cannot erase the cognitive gap between us due to our age and living environment~"
"He said the key to life is to find happiness for yourself!"
"He said, if I'm afraid that others will say I'm ugly, I might as well say it myself... I'm ugly!"
"Hahaha~"
"Only that bastard can say these things~"
Tilda picked up the wine glass, took a big sip, let the wine slowly fall from the corners of her mouth, and continued to laugh.
"He said, I am like a delicate flower in a greenhouse. I have never been exposed to the wind and rain from the outside world. When the storm comes, I can only pray to God that bad luck will not befall me."
"He said, if I am afraid that others will hurt me, deceive me, or fool me... I can only make myself wiser and stronger so as not to embarrass myself~"
"He said that many things in the world can be achieved through hard work, but only love...it all depends on luck~"
"He said that only the strongest wine can make people temporarily forget their heartache. Only the deepest love can make people unforgettable~"
"He said, the fire in my heart should not be extinguished, even if the trivialities and meaningless frustrations in life keep it wandering~"
"He said that hundreds of years ago, when there were no cosmetics, the blush on girls' faces was for meeting their lovers. But when they were let down, the red turned into theirs. Indulge your own lust in your heart~"
"He said that if he were to give me a book, it would never be a book about my favorite poems... but a book about plants or seasons. Only they can allow me to appreciate the changing seasons. , the colors blooming from life~”
"He said that people are afraid of venomous snakes and love flowers. But when people don't pay attention to them, venomous snakes are often hidden under the flowers."
"He said that as people grow up, they feel less happy. It is just a ridiculous misunderstanding. Only when we take the initiative to send happiness to our relatives and friends around us will we reap happiness ourselves."
"He said that there are three states of loneliness in life ~ from low to high: being at a loss and not knowing; getting used to it and being able to settle down and find a way to say goodbye to it; treating loneliness as a creative soil and letting it help me Find more self-examination and reflection.”
. . .
Tilda Swinton, holding the wine glass in her hand, drank all the wine in one gulp~
There was silence in the living room.
Cui Yingying asked in a worried voice: "Do you think... did she drink too much?"
"Hehe~"
"I think that bastard David must have evil intentions when he says these weird things to her!"
"Hahaha~"
Lilith held back her laughter, turned to Elena and asked: "Are these what David said?"
"Uh... we didn't listen carefully~"
"I only know that the two of them were on the plane and chatted for several hours. When Tilda got off the plane, she was in a trance~"
"Hahaha~"
Lilith shook her head feeling annoyed and amused, moved closer to Tilda, whose eyes were a little dull, and asked with a smile.
"Let's take you back to rest, okay?"
"..good!"
"Wait for me to have another drink!"
"No! You're already drunk!"
"...Oh~"
Tilda half-opened her drunken eyes and fell into Lilith's arms.
Cui Yingying smiled and stepped forward to help. Together with Lilith, she hugged the thin Tilda and helped her into the bedroom~
A meaningful smile appeared on Livlin's lips, and she teased Elena.
"My hunch tells me that you will have a new companion again~"
Elena couldn't help laughing, shook her head and said: "He just likes to talk nonsense~ You let him take the initiative... There is absolutely no possibility between him and Tilda..."
"Haha~ Let's make a bet?"
"...No gambling!"
"Hahaha~ You feel guilty!"
Elena slowly put away her smile, glanced in the direction of the bedroom, and sighed helplessly: "I always thought that women can resist men's attacks with their keen senses and firm willpower."
"But when I discovered that all the charms that I was proud of were ineffective, I realized that I had lost!"
Elena raised her glass and drank it in one gulp, then whispered quietly: "If you lose, you lose. I don't have a chance to do it again~"
"Frustration and self-doubt will no longer appear!"
"Forehead.."
Livlin rubbed her earlobes with her fingers, glanced at Maggie and Toby, and asked strangely.
"Why don't you imitate David's speech..."
"Hehe~"
"Perhaps, those words he said were not meant for Tilda, but for me and us~"
"For example: Many things in the world can be achieved through hard work, but only love...it all depends on luck~"
Emm. .
Livlin looked at Elena's beautiful burgundy face and was speechless~
----
District of Columbia.
In a hotel near Georgetown.
Mag Ludwig sat on the sofa, holding the phone in his hand. After chatting with the person opposite him for a few words with a smile, he hung up the phone.
"fxxx!"
Mag picked up the wine glass, took a big sip, and uttered a curse word.
From the bathroom not far away, Janet Patrick's voice came: "What's wrong? Honey!"
"Well~ It's just a little accident~"
"Oh?"
Janet walked out of the bathroom with a towel on her head and a bath towel on her body, stood in front of Mag, and asked with a smile.
"need my help?"
Mag narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "No~ let me appreciate it first!"
"Hehe~"
In Janet's charming chuckle, the bath towel fell to the ground~
Mag carefully looked at the new underwear she was wearing, and couldn't help but smacked her lips and said: "Tsk, tsk~ You are so beautiful!!"
"What is going on in my boss's mind all day long?"
"Hahaha~"
----
a new day.
new York.
Manhattan.
42nd Street, Wildfire Bar.
David had a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, frowning, standing on the side of the street, looking up at the sky, and let out a sigh of relief.
This night. .How difficult it is!
. . .
Not far away, Giovanni, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, came over with a smirk and whispered.
"Boss, can I find a place for you to catch up on your sleep first?"
"Make up for it!"
David scratched his wet hair vigorously, and Cui Yingying's figure suddenly flashed before his eyes~
He smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "Let's go eat first ~ I'm hungry!"
"Hey~ I know an oyster bar..."
"roll!!"
"Hahaha~"
. . .
Upstairs at Wildfire Bar.
in the bedroom.
Polly opened one eye, looked at Susan beside her, and said with a smile: "Are you going to continue to pretend to be asleep?"
"..."
"Get up!"
"He has to be busy, and I also have a lot of backlogged work to deal with!"
"In the evening, we will go home for dinner first, and then come back to be with you~"
Susan bit her lip and nodded slightly: "Then my mother Sarah, she..."
"Hehe~"
Polly supported her upper body with her arms, kissed Susan on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Don't worry~ He will take care of everything!"
"..Um!"
Susan's face turned red quickly, but she quietly stretched out her hand~
"Yeah~ Susan!"
"Hahahaha~"
"Stop making trouble~ I'm going to be late..."
----
Wall Street.
Stanley fourth floor.
David took the small mirror that his secretary Maggie carried and looked at the two big dark circles inside, and couldn't help but sigh in frustration. .
Maggie, who stood at the door with her head lowered, bit her lip hard, suppressed a smile, and whispered.
"Sam and the others are already here. Do you want to call them over for a meeting?"
"Ah~ good!"
"Hey~ wait Maggie!"
"I forgot to ask, you were at Blue Crystal last night..."
Maggie blinked a few times and asked hesitantly: "Do you want to hear the whole process?"
David was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and asked doubtfully: "Are you really having fun all night?"
"That's not true~"
"... It's better for you to pick the key points~"
"Ok!"
Maggie "tactfully" closed the office door, organized her thoughts, and whispered quickly.
"We... last night."
. . .
Maggie speaks very fast~
David pinched his cheeks with his hands, and the expression on his face kept changing with Maggie's "key points" ~
In the end, he could only cover his forehead and listen to Maggie's "field record" ~
"..Thanks!"
"Ok!"
"Should I go over and call Sam?"
"Wait a minute! Let me slow down~"
"ok~"
Maggie is gone.
David was left with a huge headache.
"fxxx!"
"A crime!"
"Why did you get sick yesterday?"
"Fooling Tilda... there's no good in it!!"
"What a fool!"
David couldn't help but regretted giving himself two big mouths~
. . .
After he adjusted his mentality and put aside distracting thoughts, he began to work hard to get himself into a working state. .
5 minute later.
Sam Rogers, Mu Brandes, Elvin Barnetta, and Leon Hoffman put down the documents in their hands and sat across from David, all with smiles on their lips. .
"Boss, you should pay attention to rest!"
"..."
"Yes! You must ensure sleep so that you can work better!"
"..."
"I know one..."
"Clap~"
David slapped the table, grinned, and glared: "It's working time! Work!"
"...Hey~"
"Hahaha~"
. . .
After a few people laughed, Maggie brought coffee to everyone and closed the door behind her when she left.
David took a sip of coffee and first looked at the company's financial officer, Erwin.
Erwin pointed to a document in front of him and said with a smile: "The company and its subsidiaries, as well as the overall financial system, have been initially established."
"The loan from Chase Manhattan Bank, the company's recent daily expenses, and..."
"Well ~ Leon, what about you?"
"Yes, boss!"
"Hiss~ The risk control department I am responsible for establishing has recruited nine people to take charge of each..."
"Ok!"
"Sam?"
"Please take a look at this document first, sent by Principal Guy Luther~"
"Oh?"
David took the folder pointed out by Sam, opened it and flipped through it quickly. His eyes stopped on the "harsh conditions" and he frowned.
"Are these people... treating us as a public fund?"
"Hehe~"
"So they can only come to us in New York and Wall Street~"
David raised his eyebrows, rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and smiled: "Sam, can you contact Warren Buffett?"
"Uh... it should be okay~"
"I heard from a friend about his office in Omaha..."
"Contact him and make an appointment for us to meet~"
"..good!"
"But he may not be willing to come to New York~"
"Uh~ Yes, yes!"
"Hi~hmm..."
"Then make an appointment and let's talk on the phone. It will take at least 15 minutes."
"Okay!" Sam recorded the incident in his notebook.
Then, he continued: "All departments in the company have been established."
"Most of our company's subsidiaries have..."
"There are also a few spare offshore companies in the Bahamas and Bermuda that can be used..."
. . .
David held a pen in his hand. After writing down the key points of Sam's words one by one, he nodded.
"Before Thanksgiving, you should make more investment plans for oil and gold~"
"For more specific information, I will ask Maggie to compile a document and send it to you~"
"Ok~"
Sam smiled and nodded, looking at his old friend beside him, Mu Brandes.
Brandes put down his legs, put away his smile, and said to David.
"We found a company with great potential!"
"Its company address is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Its main product is a syrup separated, converted, and refined from corn starch ~ called fructose syrup."
"wait!"
David interrupted Brandes with a wave of his hand and asked in surprise: "Is fructose syrup ready for industrial production?"
"Yes~"
"It was already ready for industrial production ten years ago."
"However, it was only in the past two years that its overall production cost has been reduced a lot due to the emergence of innovative technologies~"
"Do you have information about this company?"
"Have!"
"Where?"
"This is it."
"ok~"
"I'll take a look first, and then we'll find a time to go to this company's factory to take a look at the production status."
"No!"
"You need to contact Gaydon Milken now!"
"Ask him to send someone to find all the company information on fructose syrup in the country and give it to me!"
"The same goes for you here. Cooperate with him and speed things up a bit."
"Don't be afraid of spending money, what I want is speed and accuracy!"
"..good!"
M. Brandes is gone.
Under the surprised looks of Sam and others, David frowned and wrote on the notebook: fructose syrup.
This thing is not a good thing~
But now, it is a good business with extremely profitable profits!
