Manhattan Reborn 1978

Hong Kong.

night~

No. 247 Yuen Chow Street, Sham Shui Po District, in front of Wing Sum Kee Noodle House.

A black Mercedes-Benz sedan from the Peninsula Hotel slowly parked on the street.

David stood at the door of the noodle shop, looked around, and found that Zhou Liwen, who had just said he was going to solve the "trouble", was running back from a distance, sweating profusely.

"Mr. Coleman!"

"Sorry, I didn't expect those two people to be..."

David smiled and raised his hand to stop his explanation. He simply looked into the distance and found two people in black coats looking at him from a distance. He shook his head slightly.

"I don't want to know who they are or what they want to do."

"None of this has anything to do with me."

"You drive Ruan Xiaoling and go back to the Peninsula Hotel with me."

"She's staying there tonight."

"And you..."

David glanced at the driver who was standing by the car and opened the door for him, thought for a while and asked.

"Will you work for me?"

"Yes, I am willing!" Zhou Liwen didn't care about his own image at all. He didn't even look at Ruan Xiaoling and nodded very respectfully.

"ok~"

"If you can handle the passport issue to the island country by yourself, I can take you with me."

"Okay, okay!"

David turned his head and glanced at Ruan Xiaoling, who was standing beside him, nodded with a gentle smile, got into the car and left.

When David's car disappeared quickly around the corner, Zhou Liwen took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead to calm down the shock and anxiety in his heart.

Ruan Xiaoling, who knew nothing about it, saw the black car leaving behind David from a distance. She seemed to understand something in her heart and asked in a low voice.

"Uncle Zhou, are you okay?"

"fine.."

"Xiaoling, you..." Zhou Liwen hesitated with apologetic and emotional expression on his face, which made Ruan Xiaoling couldn't help but laugh.

She stepped forward and took Zhou Liwen's arm and asked, "Can you take me back?"

"...No, Xiaoling."

Zhou Liwen's face slowly returned to calmness, and he whispered: "Mr. Coleman wants you to go to the Peninsula Hotel tonight."

"Tonight? Now?"

"Yes!"

"...Then let's go." The smile on Ruan Xiaoling's face disappeared.

She used her hands hard to pull Zhou Liwen to the second-hand Mercedes-Benz, and said as if she mustered up all her courage.

"I can call and tell Aunt Peishan..."

"it is good!"

"When we get to the hotel, I'll call her for you." Zhou Liwen did not reject Ruan Xiaoling's idea. After getting into the driver's seat and starting the car, he looked at a neon light that suddenly went out in front of him and was speechless.

. . .

Twenty minutes later, Peninsula Hotel.

David took the hotel elevator back to his room first, found Cui Yingying and told her his thoughts and arrangements for Ruan Xiaoling.

Although Cui Yingying didn't understand why David did this, she didn't show any dissatisfaction and said gently that she would take good care of Ruan Xiaoling. .

Later, David went to see his little secretary Maggie and told her several impromptu decisions and asked her to start implementing them immediately.

After finishing his work, he took the elevator to the banquet hall on the west side of the second floor of the hotel. He saw Kanes, Luo Qingren, Peter Jr. and his girlfriend Blaise sitting together and chatting and laughing. .

"Hey! You still know how to come back?" Kanes shouted very dissatisfied when he saw that David ran away for so long before coming back.

"Haha~"

David ignored Carnes's "baring teeth" complaints, walked to sit opposite Peter and Blaise, glanced at Luo Qingren, and said with a smile.

"Feel sorry!"

"I just went to meet an old friend to discuss a plan to save the world."

"Hahaha~" Little Peter laughed loudly on purpose and said to David with an apologetic expression.

"I didn't mean to hide it..."

"It doesn't matter." David smiled and looked at Blaise, who was sitting next to Peter, and made a little joke.

"Your loyal bodyguard, David Coleman, is at your service!"

"I promise that as long as little Peter is with me, he will not be interested in anyone of the opposite sex."

"..." Little Peter raised his eyebrows with a strange expression, feeling that he didn't react for a while.

Blaise "understood" the subtext of David's words, covered his mouth with his hands and asked with a smile.

"If those members of the opposite sex gather around you, won't your fiancée Lilith be jealous?"

"Oh ~ good question!" David smiled confidently when he saw that Blaise actually took the initiative.

"However, you may have misunderstood the relationship between Lilith and me."

"You and Lilith are both goddesses I need to look up to~"

“God so loves the world!”

"God will forgive all sins of mortals."

"And I'm a lucky mortal."

"I am ignorant, and everything I have done will eventually be forgiven and understood by you."

"Hahaha~" Blaise, who met David for the first time, couldn't help but laugh even louder when he heard that he could make such a shameless "nonsense" comment.

Karnes crossed his legs in an imageless manner, bared his teeth, reached out and patted Little Peter, and said teasingly.

"see that?"

"In front of women, this guy has no lower limit to make them happy..."

"You must be careful1"

"Haha~" Little Peter deliberately showed a nervous expression, put his arm around Blaise's shoulders, stared at David with the eyes of a love rival, and said with a "polite" smile.

"Uncle Schroter came to see you just now!"

"Looking for me...is there something important?"

David followed the topic that Peter changed and looked at Karnes and asked.

"You don't know?" Kanes asked in surprise when he saw the confusion on David's face.

"I do not know.."

"what happened?"

Karnes stared at David for two seconds, then turned to look at Professor Bartley's student Luo Qingren: "Tell him."

"Okay." Luo Qingren nodded to Kanes and looked at David with complicated eyes to explain.

"Our mentor, Professor Bartlet, based on the dollar exchange rate comprehensive index theory you proposed in Houston and the Coleman Rule proposed to help the Federal Reserve formulate forward-looking monetary policies, he submitted the report to the American Economic Review and The Economist respectively. "Submitted to the magazine."

"The day before yesterday, the weekly Economist magazine gave a clear reply and will publish the mentor's contribution in the latest issue of the magazine."

"Just now, the quarterly magazine "American Economic Review" also gave a very clear reply to the mentor's submission. It will temporarily withdraw a manuscript in the March issue and publish the mentor's contribution."

"Teach him...!"

"This...?" David looked at Luo Qingren in astonishment, feeling excitement, regret, guilt, irritability and other emotions mixed together in his heart, which was hard to describe.
