Daily American Drama

In an apartment.

Come in, the house is a little small and messy.

MAX took out the key to open the door, and greeted Caroline to enter the house.

It's nice here...

When the light came on, Caroline looked around and gave a decent answer.

As for the size, of course it can't compare with her family's manor mansion, and it doesn't even feel as big as her dressing room.

As for the chaos, a lot of various drawing papers were randomly placed, and it was obvious that there was no servant to take care of them all the time.

But as a top student of Wharton Business School, now she is facing this weightless feeling of falling from heaven to hell, so she naturally lost interest in talking about Versailles casually.

How much is the rent here?

Caroline was trained by her father to calculate, and after her father was arrested, it was automatically activated.

rent?

MAX shook his head: I really don't know about that.

You do not know?

Caroline was surprised at first, and then suddenly said: Adam rented it for you?

no.

MAX threw the things away and lay down on the sofa: I just bought this, so I don't know how much the rent here is.

You bought it?

Caroline looked at the two-bedroom and one-living room, and when she came in, she found that the environment of the community was not bad, and the location was not bad. Such a two-bedroom and one living room house could not be bought for hundreds of thousands.

correct.

Seeing that Caroline was still standing there, MAX got up and asked Caroline to sit down: What do you want to drink?

Water is fine.

Caroline ran around all night, and was very thirsty, but she still couldn't help but said: Why do you have this money to buy a house, rent a house, wouldn't it be more profitable to invest this money?

I don't know how to invest.

MAX took two bottles of water from the refrigerator, and handed one to Caroline: One must have a house of one's own to live in, and it doesn't cost much anyway.

...

Caroline felt a sense of déjà vu, strange yet familiar.

For her who is now penniless and may not even be able to find a job, the hundreds of thousands that were not enough to hold a party in the past are already numbers that she looks up to.

Is painting so profitable?

Caroline wondered.

She may not know much about civilian prices, but she still knows the basics.

After all, when I went to Wharton Business School, I learned how to better exploit migrant workers and their souls so as to make more money.

You need to know a rough idea of ​​how much money a worker should be paid.

Otherwise, if you give too much, wouldn't it be driving up labor costs, which will be resisted by the capital alliance.

fine.

MAX shrugged and said: The main reason is that Peppa Pig sells well. Adam gave me a lot of bonuses, and I don't know how to invest. Money in the bank also depreciates. It's better to buy a house.

Emmm.

Adam did not bring MAX to invest like he did with Juno and Heather.

The reason is very simple.

Like every black-hearted boss who oppresses employees, Adam and MAX have this relationship now.

Peppa Pig has such a big stake in it.

With MAX as the main creator, Adam naturally didn't want her to get so rich that she would just lie down and not move.

What Adam hates the most is her who is so salty!

Of course, Adam did not treat her badly.

She went to school for four years, and spent the first two years at a community college. With Adam's encouragement, she worked hard and quickly stood out. Then she transferred to the University of the Arts and studied for another two years.

In the United States, the two years of community college can be superimposed on the credits of regular universities, so after two years of studying at the University of the Arts, she received a bachelor's degree.

During these four years, she worked part-time and part-study, and began to draw Peppa Pig while studying.

After graduating, Peppa Pig was officially published, Adam gave him enough bonuses, and MAX easily realized a life with a house, a car, and tickets.

But apart from the house and the small broken car, the bulk of MAX's expenses turned out to be shopping for Adam.

Thousands or tens of thousands of things, it really doesn't feel bad to spend.

Adam persuaded her many times, and for this reason, she often complained that she was used to paying back money, and it was uncomfortable for Sky if she didn't pay back.

Every time she hugged Adam in her arms, she said triumphantly: A sugar baby who doesn't want to take care of a sugar daddy is not a good sugar baby. Just treat it as an early retirement, and I will take care of you!

So after that, Adam didn't give MAX a bonus anymore, and saved it for her directly, and planned to give it to her together in a few years, saving all the money for him.

What a pity.

Caroline turned her head.

It's not that she has bad intentions, but the education she has received made her instinctively reject that after having the first pot of gold, instead of using money to make money, she put it all together in one place.

This is the mindset of the poor.

Your sofa?

As soon as Caroline sat down, she realized that the sofa was broken, and asked in surprise, Why don't you change it?

Several times have been changed.

MAX shrugged and said, But Adam was broken as soon as he arrived, and he just didn't bother to change it later.

...

Caroline froze, not knowing what to say, not even whether she should continue to sit.

At this time, MAX has turned on the TV.

On TV, of course, was the breaking news about Martin Channing.

MAX changed several channels in a row, all of them.

There is no need to change it.

Caroline said firmly: This is expected. I also want to see what the public opinion is like.

you sure?

MAX reminded him kindly: Your father has made a mess this time, and no one will speak well of him.

It doesn't matter.

Caroline straightened up, staring at the TV: I can bear it.

A few minutes later.

Turn it off, turn it off!

Caroline could no longer stand the various creative insults people were throwing at her dad on TV, it completely exceeded her imagination.

Can you still curse like that?

I told you a long time ago.

MAX shrugged his shoulders, looked at Caroline, and said seriously: It seems that you really don't know anything about the lives of low-level people, so where is this?

Is this how people at the bottom live?

Caroline panicked.

That's not even a ten-thousandth of a percent.

MAX looked sympathetically at the princess who used to be aloof: Let me tell you this, you are now like the maid who left alone at Schwarzenegger's house at night.

What's the meaning?

Caroline was puzzled.

You are going to be ravaged by this real society.

MAX said funny.

...

Caroline was momentarily confused by MAX's words.

What slang is this?

Why are you so vulgar!

Okay, I guess you've been busy all day today, so hurry up and go to bed.

Seeing that Caroline was not in the mood to appreciate the classic slang she had learned while working on the ground floor, MAX greeted her: This is the guest room, you can stay here, if you have anything to do, think about it tomorrow.

do not worry.

Humans are very adaptable.

Life is like that.

If you can't resist, just lie down and enjoy.

Soon you'll be having fun.

This is life.

Believe me.

I'm an absolute expert on this!

Thank you, Max.

Caroline couldn't laugh or cry, but she was still grateful for MAX's care and comfort.

Without comparison, there is no harm.

Those so-called boyfriends and girlfriends in the past are not as kind as a stranger who only met once.

If this is the life of the bottom people.

Then she might be able to take it...for a while.

good!

She still has a little confidence in her heart.

She is still young, and she is a top student of Wharton Business School, and she has inherited her father's business talent. After this period of suffering, she will definitely turn around.

Caroline Channing, you can!

Thinking of this, she smiled and went to sleep.
