Manhattan Reborn 1978

Tokyo.

It's approaching midnight~

Tokyo Imperial Hotel, 1-1 Uchisuki-cho, east of Hibiya Park, Chiyoda-ku.

Feeling very tired, David slowly walked out of the bathtub, stood in front of the mirror and wiped off the water mist on it. After rubbing his cheeks with cold water a few times, he felt a little more energetic.

Outside the bathroom.

Zina, who had been waiting for a long time, leaned against the door and said with distress in her eyes: "You need to take a rest."

"Yeah..." David forced a smile to Zina, wiped his cheeks with a towel and said.

"You go to sleep first, I have to wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait!"

Zina folded her arms in front of her chest and watched quietly as David walked up to her, but still couldn't help asking.

"I heard from Mr. Tianniu... You have been very busy recently, and you are even a little anxious?"

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Haha~" David smiled and scratched her nose, feeling warm in his heart.

"Each of us hopes to choose a favorite role for ourselves in life."

"But most people can't say no to their terrible lives."

"And we are undoubtedly very lucky!"

"One of the goals I work hard for is to have the confidence and strength to say no to anyone."

"..."

Zina bit her lip and frowned, noticing that David's eyes were filled with an aggressive "strange" light. .

Her heartbeat accelerated instantly, she lowered her head to avoid his gaze, showing a girlish and shy expression in a daze, and whispered in a slightly uneasy voice.

"I'm having my period today, so I'd better let Elena stay with you..."

"Hahaha~" David said with a smile, taking half a step forward, hugging Zina's back, smelling the fragrance of her hair.

"Don't even think about running away tonight!"

"Go and wait for me in the bedroom!"

"..." Zina covered her chest with both hands, holding back a smile and rolled her eyes at David, turned around, ran into the bedroom and closed the door.

David stood there rubbing his chin and thinking about it for a moment, then shook his head slightly, walked to the living room and sat down, slowly trying to clear his thoughts again.

. . .

About half an hour later.

"Dang Dang Dang~"

When David heard the knock on the door, he immediately walked to the door and opened the door. He saw that the person outside was not the Mr. Longhorn he had been waiting for, but Carnes wearing a nightgown. .

"Is it convenient?" Kanes looked at David who was a little dazed, raised his chin and glanced into the living room, and asked.

"Come in." David stepped aside and waited until Carnes walked in, closed the door, and asked.

"Montague? Or little Peter?"

"neither."

Kanes stood in the living room and replied casually. He quickly found the small bar, walked over, poured himself half a glass of wine, drank it up and drank it. He let out a sigh of relief and said.

"It's my uncle Schroter."

"Oh.."

This brief Q&A between the two directly identified the person behind the arrangement of this Tokyo meeting without any nonsense.

Schroeder F. Rothschild!

This was the second time that Carnes mentioned his uncle in front of David. .

The previous time, because Karnes wanted to cooperate with David in investment, his uncle Schroeter sent Bill Gutherland. .

David had never met Uncle Schroeter and did not understand the complicated relationship between Karnes and his uncle.

Therefore, after inviting Kanes to sit down, he randomly found a topic and talked to himself.

"The first time I saw Cui Yingying cooking in the kitchen, I watched the whole process with strong curiosity~"

"After Cui Yingying found me, she told me some past events about her while cooking."

"She has lived in Xiangjiang since she was a child, where social order was very chaotic after World War II. Being adopted by her master Zhang Maochang is the greatest luck in her life!"

"Because in that era, there were countless poor families who fled to Hong Kong after the war. They struggled at the bottom of society every day, working hard at low-paying jobs, hoping to enable their families to live a stable life."

"If Cui Yingying was not very lucky to be adopted by her master, she would definitely be abducted or persecuted by some people with bad intentions, and her fate would be unpredictable."

"That's why she regards Master Zhang Maochang as her biological father."

"Oh.."

Kanes, who was "playing games" in Xiangjiang a few days ago, tilted his head and recalled the moments when he got along with Cui Yingying, Zhang Maochang and others, feeling very relaxed and smiling.

"I haven't had time yet...Thank you!"

"no need thank me?"

"Thank me for letting you experience the life of an ordinary person for once?"

"Yeah~"

"Are you dissatisfied with my game performance?"

"Of course I'm not satisfied!"

David put on a look of contempt, looked at Karnes sideways and complained: "We agreed on the rules of the game, how many of them did you abide by?"

"That guy Bill is like a personal nanny, following you around in circles every day..."

"Cui Yingying also greets you every day, fearing that you are not used to this kind of ordinary life."

"If you were originally a bonsai that was raised indoors and carefully taken care of since childhood, this time the game will at best move you from indoors to outdoors and bask in the sun for a short time."

"You haven't even experienced the most basic wind, exposure, and rain. You just observed the lives of ordinary people for a few days from a spectator's perspective."

"Tell me! Does this count as an achievement?"

"Uh..." Kanes scratched his head slightly embarrassed and spread his hands with a grimace.

"I'm working too! I'm making money too!"

"I also used borrowed money to invest in the stock market..."

"stop!"

David rolled his eyes helplessly, sat back on the sofa, and sighed.

"If you focus all your energy on the rules of the game, even if you fail to achieve the ideal game goal, you can still gain many novel experiences that you have never had before."

"But you didn't..."

"Haha~" Kanes grinned and turned his eyes around David a few times before asking.

"Where's the game you said last time you wanted to play in Tokyo?"

"Shall we start tomorrow?"

"Let me see how this game should be played~"

"tomorrow?"

David suddenly cheered up, looked at Kanes warily for a while, frowned and asked, "Is this why you stayed up late at night to come to me?"

"Half, half."

Kanes subconsciously scratched his cheek again, and said with clear and bright eyes: "I just felt like I couldn't sleep in bed, and I always felt that I should give you an explanation."

"So you came?"

"Yeah~"

"Then you explain, I'm listening!"
