Chapter 022
In the evening, Robert and Patrick invited Yan Ruxin and her family, together with their wives and children, to have dinner at a restaurant by the sea in Santa Monica.
Yan Ruxin has no family members, but because Marcos has a share of the shares, she asked him, and he didn't plan to attend, so she went alone in the end.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxed.
The bar counter, tables and chairs are all dark log colors, and the walls are made of simple red bricks, creating a feeling similar to a tavern.Modern glass, metal and colorful artwork on the walls make people feel like they are in a design gallery.
Most of the guests are close friends, couples, or families...
Before the meal, Robert and Patrick stipulated that they were not allowed to talk about business affairs during the dinner, but only communicated with each other's ideas and attitudes, and exchanged everyone's past experiences and experiences.
For Yan Ruxin, this was a very rare experience.
When she worked more than 20 hours a day, she never thought that she would have dinner with her team members and their families after get off work.
The rest time in investment banks is so precious that everyone just wants to spend it with their families. Of course, more singles become the wolf of Wall Street and show their talents in the nightlife of New York.
Looking back now, Yan Ruxin found that she had little communication with her former colleagues except for business affairs, and she couldn't even recognize their family members.
So when she just sat in the round deck, she had some discomfort.
Don't look at her talking at the negotiating table, she is well versed in the way of speaking in official affairs.
But no one knew that apart from her own sister, she didn't even have a real good friend, and the people she knew were all acquaintances at work.
That's why when she attended her funeral, she was surprised and moved to see so many people remembering her and remembering the past.
If they didn't tell her, she wouldn't know it. Unknowingly, she had so many memories with these friends.
She always thought she had no friends.
She probably has some social barriers or communication barriers more or less.
At least if you ask her to take the initiative to participate in any social or social activities, she will definitely not participate.
Even if she invites so and so to dinner or a date, 99% of them are likely to discuss business, or what value this person can use.
In the eyes of many people, she is a lonely person, and some people may still sympathize with her.I think she developed this natural strength because she was forced to be strong and busy too early.
But Yan Ruxin doesn't think it's because life is difficult, there are too many people in this world who are more difficult than her, although she has worked hard, she has never suffered.
So she didn't think for a moment that she was unlucky.
She doesn't think there's anything wrong with being alone.
She can enjoy solitary people very much, and a good book or a good work can make her spend a satisfying afternoon.
But now, when she sat down to communicate with each other's ideas without discussing business, she was a little dumbfounded.
She really didn't know what to say.
Robert's wife, Amanda, is an economic contract lawyer. The eldest daughter, Pacia, is 19 years old and is in the 12th grade. The younger daughter, Laura, is in the 10th grade and both go to school in Santa Monica.Patrick's wife, Annie, is the head nurse of a private hospital, and his son, Jack, is just in grade 7. This reminds Yan Ruxin of her other three little partners.
Anne is a woman who looks very warm, but at the same time does not lose the elegance of a professional woman. She is about 40 years old, but she maintains a good figure.Maybe because of her nature as a nurse, she pulled Yan Ruxin to talk as soon as she came up, which also made Yan Ruxin relax.
With Annie's enthusiasm, Yan Ruxin quickly began to listen to what they had to say, and then gradually began to join in.
Amanda gave Yan Ruxin the impression that she was very similar to her sister, probably because they were both lawyers.
The children sat among the adults and shared their thoughts. It was easy to see that the two families in front of her were very similar in raising their children, and they both communicated with each other on an equal footing.
"You are probably only less than 10 months older than Pacia? If I hadn't seen you today, we and I couldn't believe it. It was really you who caused such a takeover battle. I can foresee that tomorrow The major media in California and the United States are probably going crazy, of course, you have already made them crazy once before." Amanda is not serious, on the contrary, she is a very straightforward woman, she said with a smile.
"Haha, I don't mind making them crazier in the future." Yan Ruxin hinted, and briefly mentioned her plan for the summit.
"Wait... It's not allowed to talk about business, fine wine, fine wine!" Robert and Patrick were chatting about men, and they were very happy after hearing Yan Ruxin's words. The movie is good, but pretending to be very serious, he poured a large glass of white wine into Yan Ruxin's wine glass.
"Ah! I'll get drunk after so much~" Yan Ruxin also cooperated with her with a pitiful expression.
Her flamboyant acting made everyone laugh.
Pacia also pointed at Yan Ruxin and teased: "Angela, don't worry, my mother and I will take you home when you're drunk!"
Pacia is Robert's eldest daughter. She is very interested in movies. Since she knew that Yan Ruxin is currently studying film art at USC, she has been very interested in it and asked many related questions.
With the experience left by Angela, Yan Ruxin can naturally answer many of her questions.
The food and atmosphere are great, and the pleasant communication during the meal is also unsatisfactory, so Yan Ruxin happily drank a lot of wine at the end. Of course, everyone drank a lot, except for the underage Laura and Jack. There is also Amanda, who cannot drink and is entrusted with the important task of driving everyone home.
When Yan Ruxin came home, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning.
Amanda sent her downstairs and left, and Yan Ruxin took the elevator upstairs by herself.
She took out the key from her backpack and opened the door. She was a little dizzy, very sleepy, and not very conscious.
He is probably in a state where he can fall asleep at any time as long as he closes his eyes.
She pulled herself together for the last ounce of energy, considering that there was an obsessive-compulsive madman sleeping in her living room, she opened the door very quietly, and gently took off her high-heeled shoes.
She didn't turn on the headlights either, she took out her mobile phone to follow the road and walked to the room.
The living room at home had recently changed its decoration, and she was not very familiar with it, so she was afraid of falling, so she walked forward step by step carefully.
Why change the decoration?
Naturally, he lived in Marcos, a man who pays great attention to the quality of life, loves to cook, is tall, and has a certain part of his brain that is not normal.
The sofa in the living room, which was too cramped for a man of 1.9 meters, was naturally disposed of, and replaced with a set of silver-gray sofa sets with cold and hard tones.
Among them, the longest sofa can be pulled open to transform into a kingsize bed in an instant.Coupled with Italian-made bedding with a very high weave, the style is instantly higher than that of a super five-star hotel.
Yan Ruxin couldn't help playing with this novel mechanism a few times.
And this is just the bed of this master.
Everything else is fine, and everything is particular.
Italian curtains, German kitchen utensils, British table lamps, Japanese bathroom equipment, Chinese TV cabinets and wooden chairs... Even the plants on the balcony have been changed, and she could barely introduce prickly pears to others. Balcony plants, nothing can be said now.
Yan Ruxin originally liked the espresso machine, so she had upgraded it again. She couldn't recognize what brand of coffee machine this new guy in the kitchen was, but the coffee made by this big guy, It is true that the original aroma and acidity of the coffee beans can be extracted better.
Sometimes she wanted to persuade this big backed Shen Jingbing to go back to his mansion.
Since she is so rich, why should she stay in her small student dormitory?
But thanks to him, Yan Ruxin can taste the delicacies of various countries without leaving home, and can drink a cup of top-notch coffee when she wakes up every morning and after class in the afternoon...
She couldn't say anything.
This gentleman with full culinary skills is at least suitable as a mascot at home.
When one day you go bankrupt, it is not difficult to open a restaurant where you have to wait in line to support your family.
Maybe she can still buy a stock?
Ok?
This brain hole is a bit big.
I don't know when the bankruptcy of Marcos will happen...
She opened the door of her bedroom in a daze, and couldn't help but close her eyes. The neurotic man wanted to intervene in the decoration of her room, but she sternly refused, so she can no longer be familiar with it, and can sleep~
She was about to step inside...
"Plop!" A strong force came.
Huh?
That's strange, was she thrown down?
She was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, and her mind was dizzy, so her reaction was a bit slow.
And it was a little bit too cute to let out a small "Ah~" two seconds later.
The pain of being hit hard on the floor forced her to open her eyes.
She found that not only was she thrown down, but the door of the bedroom where she was just now had a big black hole blown out of it.
That big mouth is still smoking!
And she was being grabbed by someone very vigorously, and she was being led to hide in the room...
As they moved, intense gunfire sounded all around.
The bullets seemed to be flying very close at hand. The place where they stayed one second before was filled with various bullet holes the next second.
All kinds of explosions, the sound of glass breaking, the sound of furniture and walls being pierced...
It's like being in the gunfight scene of a Hollywood blockbuster in a movie!
"Are you awake?" came the icy cold voice above his head, feeling a little helpless.
It's Marcos.
"..." Yan Ruxin.
How could she be awake?
It's just frightening, okay?
Mom!
Did a shootout really happen at home?
Isn't she dreaming?
You must know that she thought she had fallen asleep just now, and her dreams were so real.
"Bang! Crack!" There was another gunshot, and less than 10 centimeters from the top of the two of them, the mug she usually used to drink water burst open, and the shattered porcelain pieces flew...
Yan Ruxin shivered, and subconsciously buried her head in the arms of the man in front of her.
In the next second, she realized that she had been molested.
His hands explored her chest, thighs and ankles...
"What are you doing?" Yan Ruxin said angrily in a low voice.
This man can't be that perverted, can he?
Does it feel more exciting when it is more dangerous?
It's too dirty!
But the next moment she reacted...
"Are you looking for a gun?" She suddenly realized.
She hastily dug out the dangerous weapon from the bottom of the handbag and handed it to him.
"You should tie it on your thigh so that you can take it at any time." His voice did not reveal any emotion, instructing her some rules that ordinary people don't need to know for a lifetime.
"...Oh." Yan Ruxin.
Is it convenient for her to use it?
Fuck, is it convenient for you to use?
If she hadn't known him and been involved in some messy conspiracy, she wouldn't need this kind of thing in her life, okay?
Yan Ruxin has no family members, but because Marcos has a share of the shares, she asked him, and he didn't plan to attend, so she went alone in the end.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is relaxed.
