how i bought the whole world

I laughed, "Yes, Chris, of course we're friends. Please forgive me, I'm just flattered at your willingness to accept my offer."

Chris smiled. "Why do you think I'm rejecting you, William?"

"Well, because you are a doctor of law, and because you once worked at Dewey Lubriz International Law Firm. And I'm just a small trader who started to sit up step by step, an investor boss, and I started a small company with less than 20 people."

"My God, you are so self-deprecating." Chris couldn't help shaking his head, "Dear William, few people can jump from an ordinary trader to a boss within a few months, even Buffett is also impossible. Although it must be said that the loophole you exploited with Joshua Smith helped you save at least ten years of time to accumulate capital, but your own vision and means are the most important reasons for your success. And I was also moved by such a capable boss and decided to accept your employment."

I smiled, "Such a compliment would make my heart explode, Chris, but then again, you just think that I have achieved success that no one else can achieve in a few months, but in fact I am immersed in the stock market." In fact, I have no less time than anyone else. I learned to use my pocket money to make money for myself when I was 17 years old, and now I just use the skills at that time again."

"But it was just a joke at that time, wasn't it? Tiffany said that you were his smartest and fastest-growing student. You know he doesn't praise people easily."

"Okay." I raised my glass. "Maybe we should give a toast to smart talent, right? Here are the smartest lawyers in America." I looked at him. "And the smartest boss." I pointed point to myself.

Chris couldn't help raising his glass to touch me.

We had a good talk all night. It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Chris and I bid farewell on Fifth Avenue. Chris drove back to Tiffany's house directly, and after I watched him leave, He also reached out to stop a taxi and planned to go home.

However, at this moment, a few disputing voices behind me caught my attention.

"I'm sorry, I can't understand what you said. Can you speak English?" A familiar voice came, and it exploded in my ears like a thunderbolt.My pupils shrank suddenly, this is... Gu Anning's voice!

Why is he here?

A few questions came to my mind, and my heart suddenly felt as if a turbulent wave hit the shore, but there was no expression on my face. The taxi driver in front of me looked suspiciously at me as I kept grabbing the handle, "Sir, why? gone?"

I woke up suddenly, "Ah, I'm sorry."

"Are you okay?" The other party didn't care about my gaffe, but asked again with concern, maybe my expression is so weird that even the driver at the moment felt that something was wrong.

"It's okay, thank you for your concern." I took out a five-dollar tip from my wallet and stuffed it into the front window. "I'm sorry, I gave up my seat to the lady next to you. Let her get in the car first," said After I finished, I took a step back, let the lady who was waiting for the bus behind me come to me, and turned back in a hurry.

There were two people arguing beside the road, and when they got closer, one of them was indeed Gu Anning.Standing in front of him was a black woman, she seemed to be an old gypsy woman in her attire, at the moment she was holding Gu Anning's hand and talking non-stop, but Gu Anning frowned and moved very hard. Pull back his cuffs.

"Please let go, if you pester me again, I will call the police."

Gu Anning issued a warning in English again. His tone was very angry, with a faint hint of arrogance, but the other party turned a deaf ear to it, and went straight to Gu Anning's pocket. Gu Anning looked annoyed and helpless.He looked around, hoping someone would stand up and offer a hand, but everyone hurried past him as if oblivious to the scene.

I could understand the troubles he encountered at a glance. He met a gypsy woman begging for money. You can see this kind of wandering gypsy everywhere in the United States and Europe. , Robbery, and stealing for a living, this statement is not racial discrimination, but their real occupation is like this.Now Gu Anning is obviously being entangled as a fat sheep, his Asian face is easy to encounter all kinds of monsters and ghosts at night in a foreign country.

"Security!" As I walked over, I yelled at the doorman of the hotel. The nearest Stad Fifth Avenue Hotel is the place I just visited, and the second floor is the AiFriori restaurant, "Go and call someone, here There is a gentleman who needs help."

The doorman had just tipped me a dozen dollars, and my yelling was much more effective than anyone else, and he immediately went to find the guard.And I turned my head to the gypsy woman and said, "And you, madam." I looked at her fiercely, "Please leave quickly, otherwise we will be impolite."

Maybe it was my strong body that I have been exercising all the year round that frightened the gypsies. The old woman finally stopped pestering Gu Anning and looked at me in fear. Immediately turned around and ran away.I breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Gu Anning, and found that he also exhaled lightly at the same time.

"Thank you." Gu Anning said, the expression on his face relaxed a little, showing how annoyed he was by the gypsy woman's entanglement just now.

"It's okay." I said softly, staring at him for two full seconds before moving away, "Take a look in your pocket and see if your wallet is still missing."

"Oh... yes." Gu Anning hastily reached into his pocket.

After he found out that his wallet was still on him, I felt relieved. Losing money and passport is the most troublesome thing in this foreign country, but out of morality, I still reminded him, "Maybe I will tell you instead. You shouldn't be here alone at this late hour, although New York is a very bustling city, but as an Asian, sometimes troubles can easily find you."

"Yes. I found out." The other party said angrily. "Thank you," he said to me again.

My eyes wandered to other places again, staring at a point in the void in the distance. For his thanks, I don't know what to say to Gu Anning now, and maybe I don't want to say anything. For a moment, Gu Anning flashed through my mind. There are several scenes, including the scene of him taunting me with cold words, the scene of him throwing my flowers directly into the trash can, and the scene of him turning away with his friends, leaving me alone behind, and finally all the pictures , It was all frozen in the scene when I was sent to the plane, and I called him, but no one answered before boarding the plane.

"I'm leaving," I said finally. "I hope you will be careful next time."

I made up my mind to ignore his business, and turned around to wait for the bus at another intersection, but the moment I walked away, Gu Anning's voice suddenly came from behind, "Wait." He actually took the initiative to catch up, "Please wait a moment."

I stopped in surprise.

He walked up to me, "Well, sir, thank you for helping me just now, I'm Gu Anning, you can call me Gu directly, can you tell me your name?"

I was stunned again, Gu Anning, don't you recognize me?

……

The next day, at breakfast, I was still puzzled, "Alfonso, have I changed a lot?"

Alfonso added an egg to my plate, "What are you talking about, you have always been so stupid, will you become smart...By the way, William, do you want a tomato? Don't let it be added to you."

"Please give me the tomato." I said sternly, "I bought this tomato, right? Of course you have to give it to me."

"The tomatoes you bought have rotted long ago." Alfonso gave me a supercilious look. "Now you use my stuff for food, boy."

"Oh." I said sadly.

Alfonso put the breakfast in front of me, put his hands on the table, "Okay, tell me what's going on. Don't be sad behind your back like a woman, what, a girl dumped you?" You become It seems that this sentence is often used as a reason for breaking up."

"I didn't get dumped." I gave him a resentful look. "Is it because you didn't have a past with the other party from the beginning?"

I told the story of me and Gu Anning in another way.

"You mean, the person you pursued doesn't recognize you anymore?" After hearing what I said, Alfonso opened his mouth in surprise.After seeing me nodding gloomyly, he took another look at me carefully with an incredulous look, "Uh, your hair has grown a bit in the past few months, and you seem to have been fed fat by hamburgers, But it’s still not unrecognizable, you haven’t had plastic surgery.”

"I haven't gotten fat, I've been exercising!" I protested, and then hung my head on the table in frustration, "but he asked me what my name was, maybe he didn't recognize me, maybe I was just a Little guy not worth mentioning, not worth noting at all. So what can I say? Said I was his annoying person? All I can say to him is glad to help you, my name is William Field , an ordinary office worker working in Financial Street, New York."

"Wait, isn't your name William Field?"

"That's my English name. When I'm in China, of course I use my Chinese name."

Alfonso said "oh". "Then what do you think, old man?"

"What do you think..."

"Do you want to be nice to him, or not to be nice to him?" Alfonso reminded me, "If you want to be nice to him, this is a good opportunity to get to know him again and start over. Didn't you help him? ? He won't want to thank you, will he?"

"I don't know." I frowned.

"If you don't want to get along with him, then ignore him, anyway, you've come here for so long, right?"

I didn't speak for a while, Alfonso walked into the kitchen again, he was busy making cold drinks, summer is coming, the beach business will be several times better, it seems unwise to choose to listen to my nonsense at this time, so he chose not listen.And I looked at my watch and gasped, "Oops, I'm going to be late, I'm going to work!"

By the time I left the house, I still couldn't answer Alfonso's question.

Even though I know that my feelings for Gu An Ning have become weaker and weaker in the past few months, and sometimes I don't even think about the existence of this person for a few days, but if I really want to be serious, he is still the most vivid memory in my mind.
