Manhattan Reborn 1978

Tokyo.

Early morning~

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

In David's room.

Maggie, the little secretary, organized several newly typed documents and put them into large envelopes. After marking the recipients on them, she asked David.

"Who should I give it to?"

"Leave it to Otis Parker, he'll be here shortly."

"Uh... ok."

"What else do you need from me?"

"No more~"

"You continue with today..." David was halfway through his words when he remembered that Zina and Elena had returned to New York with Mr. Tianniu, shook his head and smiled.

"Please contact Brotney Mejia. You two can accompany Manqi for a walk today~"

"It might take me noon or afternoon before I can make time..."

"Okay." When the little secretary Maggie heard that David asked her to go shopping during working hours again, she nodded very happily and trotted away.

David watched her back disappear through the door, and suddenly thought of him. . Forgot to pay. . ?

He rubbed his chin with his hand and walked into the bedroom. He rummaged through his suitcase and found tens of thousands of dollars in cash that he had prepared in Hawaii. He recalled the scene when he parted with Zina and Elena last night and laughed silently.

Zina made a fortune from Carnes's art auction and is now a little rich woman. She has paid for all the shopping these two days. .

She and Elena didn't spend any of the pocket money David specially prepared for them, they kept it all. .

This time, it was also the first time that David gave Zina and Elena pocket money. .

Emm. .

David weighed the cash with his hands, kept this in mind, walked to the living room and put it down, picked up a draft he had just written, and re-read it.

This draft and the formal report he just asked Maggie to type are observational reports he wrote on a quarterly basis to the Rockefeller Family Office (SFO) and the Morgan Family Office.

. . .

"Dang Dang Dang~"

"Please come in!"

"David? Are you busy?" Manky Sidrich, who should have gone shopping with her little secretary Maggie at this time, opened the door and looked at the living room where David was alone, and asked.

David smiled and waved to her: "Yes, you haven't set off yet?"

"No."

"Both Zina and Elena are gone, and I don't want to go shopping anymore..." Manqi, wearing a maroon cashmere coat, walked to sit next to David and looked at the draft in his hand curiously. , said helplessly.

"When you were in Hawaii, you told my parents that you would take me out to relax."

"But after you get here, you can only go out a handful of times..."

"When Polly went home for dinner, she always said that you were very busy every day and almost never saw anyone. I didn't believe it at the time."

"Do you believe it now?" David put the manuscript in her hand and asked interestingly.

"Yes!" Manqi looked down at David's flying handwriting, biting her lip and sighed.

"I also know how you deceived my sister Polly..."

"Hahaha~" David laughed and raised his hands to show that he was innocent.

"Don't get me wrong~ I'm not an emotional liar, and I won't deceive anyone with love!"

"Oh?"

Manqi threw the manuscript on the table and tilted her head to look at David, wanting to hear what "brainwashing theory" he could tell.

David glanced at his watch with a smile, relaxed completely, and said to Manqi.

"I once read some books on psychology at the New York Public Library."

"Although they represent the personal research views and theories of many famous psychologists, they all believe that interpersonal relationships achieved through a diplomatic way cannot gain people's true recognition."

"Sincerity is the master key to everyone's inner world!"

"It is not easy to be sincere. Sincerity contains two aspects and is also two important principles for interpersonal communication."

"First of all, I must be a true person, do things with integrity, and interact with people in my true colors."

"Because many people always feel that they can't make good friends in interpersonal relationships. They feel that everyone is wearing a mask, so that people cannot see their true face, and they dare not interact with others with their true face."

"So when I dare to interact with people in my truest self, my true colors will touch people's hearts and it will be easier to close the distance between them."

“To be sincere, you must first be true~”

"Secondly, in addition to being a true person, I also need to open other people's hearts with sincerity."

"What is sincerity?"

"Sincerity means that I care about others from the bottom of my heart and do it for their own good. This is a high-level expression of love."

"To be sincere, I must first let go of my inner judgment. When communicating with others, I must not use judgmental words to evaluate others. Instead, I must learn to look at the other person's affairs in an empathic way, and learn to understand other people's problems with my heart. Emotions, adapt to changes~"

"The second way to be sincere is to learn to listen and ask questions. We often say that the most comfortable thing to talk to someone is the tenderness and understanding of the other person, and listening is the best way to understand the other person."

"Of course, the last point is also the most important point~"

"I also have to understand one principle: I won't disturb the other person easily, I won't interfere with others at will or use... My words or remarks are for your own good, to interfere with the other person's thoughts, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the other person."

David spread his hands to Manqi, who was a little stunned, and smiled.

"When I confessed my love to Polly in London, I made it clear to her that I would not give up on my current girlfriend Susan, let alone let her be disappointed in me or let her leave sadly."

"I'm a very selfish person in that way."

"This is my shortcoming and my persistence."

"Because I don't think others can love them more than I do, and I don't think others can be as willing to give everything for them as I am."

"Haha ~ all of them?"

"But you are already engaged!"

"Besides your fiancée Lilith, and my sisters Polly and Susan, how many other women are there with you?"

"Uh...three!"

"fxxxyou!"

"Thank you!"

"..." Manqi was speechless when David suddenly said "thank you", her face turned red and she looked at him "gritting her teeth". .

David sighed silently in his heart, feeling that his words just now seemed to be in vain again, and shook his head slightly.

"A beautiful memory does not mean eternity!"

"In the adult love world, which one is more breathless, the gradual disappearance of love or the gradually increasing family responsibilities?"

"The most sincere love between a couple will be reflected in mutual dependence, commitment, and selfless dedication."
