The planned "Journey to Fun" was aborted halfway because the promoter Zhao Yingjun ran away.

Carrying the red wine to the table of single women, the two chatted for about twenty minutes.

During this time, the woman first chuckled, then became serious, angry, and then tangled...

Until the price is agreed upon, it will definitely be a large sum of money.

Hundreds or thousands of dollars are not worth a white-collar woman losing her self-esteem.

You have to pay more, pay more! Li Zhenyu spent his first night in the United States alone.

He wanted to prepare for tomorrow's signing and conserve his energy for the subsequent trip. He would not waste his precious energy on boring white-collar workers.

Either you are sexy or you are high, the skills and status must always be the same.

white collar……

Just like its positioning, it can't be high or low.

Looking at the night view of Manhattan, Li Zhenyu did not feel the prosperity and splendor of the so-called "metropolis".

Instead, there was a sense of despair everywhere. The landlords had no surplus food! Not only did they have no surplus food, but many people even starved to death.

Countdown to Lehman Brothers collapse: 63 days.

By then, this feeling of despair and despair will only evolve like a virus and become even more deadly.

This is when the importance of cash is reflected. Li Zhenyu really wants this day to come soon. He can't wait to buy at the bottom.

Clang clang~ After opening the door, Zhao Yingjun, with a look of ecstasy on his face, jumped in like a teddy bear in heat.

"Brother, this is so cool."

Zhao Yingjun rubbed his hands and excitedly described to him the wonderful time they had last night.

"How much?"

"Twenty thousand."

“Pfft, Korean won?”

Li Zhenyu spat out the water he had just drunk. Twenty thousand? What a joke.

Is she...gold-rimmed with diamonds?

Zhao Yingjun scratched his head and whispered, "US dollars. Brother, I gave too much."

"No, you're my brother, really. Next time you have such a good thing, come to me and I'll introduce you to a five-star hotel for two nights and twenty-four thousand yuan."

Zhao Yingjun smiled shyly and said, "Brother, that... 20,000 is not much. Think about it, the last thing we lack is money, but happiness is different. It is not something you can have every day."

Spending money to buy happiness, is it worth it?

In Li Zhenyu's opinion, it is definitely not worth it, but in Zhao Yingjun's opinion, it is just that.

Is there any difference between five thousand and ten thousand?

It doesn’t matter. You can’t buy happiness by spending 20 million on a nightclub.

But spending 20 million (Korean won) here can make him happy for the whole night and put him in a good mood for the next few days.

So, whether this deal is worthwhile or not depends on how you calculate it.

Maybe in some people's eyes, he is like a big fat sheep.

But what does that have to do with him? He won’t lose anything and will still be happy.

"Brother Zhenyu, you said that being happy is the most important thing."

After listening to Zhao Yingjun's twisted logic, Li Zhenyu found that he was actually somewhat convinced by him.

In fact, 20,000 US dollars is not a lot for Zhao Yingjun.

It was a drop in the bucket for him, a tiny amount, but he acted even more stingy than Zhao Yingjun.

"It's your money, just be happy."

Seeing that he understood, Zhao Yingjun breathed a sigh of relief and asked casually, "A lot more?"

"Five thousand, no more."

A hint of unintentional pain flashed across Zhao Yingjun's calm expression.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhenyu felt relieved.

It seems that I am not the one with the problem.

At Random House, Li Zhenyu arrived 10 minutes early and successfully signed the contract with the other party in the conference room.

"Lee, you have a good agent."

“Who says it’s not?”

The follow-up is not complicated. Li Zhenyu only needs to sign a few names and hand the original to the other party for verification and retain the information.

Half an hour later, the contract was officially signed.

"The first print run will be 50,000 copies, and we will adjust the print run based on sales. I hope your work will sell well."

"Thank you." Li Zhenyu smiled and held the other person's hand.

It was less than 10 o'clock when Langdon left. Claire had no other plans in the morning, so she needed to go back to file the documents and deal with some other things.

"Drop me off in Central Park." Li Zhenyu planned to take a stroll in Central Park.

"Okay." Claire asked the driver to change the route and reminded him of the subsequent itinerary.

With Claire's help, Li Zhenyu learned that this dinner was a "screening" for Facebook to select investors with strength and reputation.

Who gets to attend the financing meeting will depend on their performance at the charity dinner the day after tomorrow.

"Who provided those auction items, Lizard...Mark?"

“No, the auction items are from those famous big names, or the rising stars of technology, you know, they are always in the spotlight.”

“So there will be some weird stuff in the auction, like an old keyboard that some tech star used.”

"Boss, this is not funny." Claire put down her phone and spread her hands helplessly.

She had to remind her boss if he really cared about the Facebook funding round and wanted to join it.

So, better be friendly.

It's the same whether it's at a charity dinner or in front of those technology stars.

Honestly, Claire loves this country.

But we must admit that in this "free" country, discrimination is everywhere.

It's not just about race, it's about class, occupation, family, education, etc...

There was nothing she could think of that was not discriminatory.

Well, none of that matters.

The most important thing for Li Zhenyu is that he has to work harder than others to gain recognition.

"So, I need to prepare a thicker checkbook, right?"

Li Zhenyu turned over the lining of his suit so that she could see his checkbook clearly.

The brand new cover and thickness are believed to be enough to satisfy the white-skinned gentlemen, who will give him applause and cheers.

But when I think about the fact that I have to pay more than others to get the same treatment.

Li Zhenyu couldn't help cursing in his heart, "Hey, damn you little bastard!"

They got off the car in Central Park. The BMW following behind stopped on the side of the road. At Li Zhenyu's signal, Parker got out of the car.

Knowing that he was going to the park, Pike asked Nicole to go with him.

Men and women work together to deal with most crises in this racially complex country.

Unless they meet the invincible combination of a mentally transgender, homosexual, black and white, disabled person who adopted abandoned East Asian babies.

"Believe me, it's a disaster for anyone who encounters them."

"If you see a combination like this, BOSS, please show your friendliest side, smile, nod, and then walk away quietly."

Pike was his bodyguard, not just physically, but in every way.

Therefore, he needs to make some situations clear in advance.

To prevent Li Zhenyu from getting into big trouble without knowing it.

"Ok, Ok, I understand, this is taboo."

Li Zhenyu smiled bitterly and made a zipper motion with his fingers on his mouth.

Then he broke away from Pike and walked quickly toward the lake.

Why didn’t I realize before that Parker is actually a potential chatterbox?

He's been saying 'Aba Aba' all the time since he came back to New York. He should have a zipper on his mouth more than himself.

"Yo Pose Yo~" The familiar language made Li Zhenyu turn back instinctively.

A young girl came into view, laughed happily at his performance, and ran towards him, "You really are from South Korea, Anihasayo, nice to meet you here."

"Anihasayo, I think this must be fate destined by God."

"Liu Meina, from Seoul, what about you?"

The girl extended her hand to him generously, feeling excited to meet an old friend in a foreign land.

Moreover, he is a young, handsome and long-legged Oppa.

Liu Meina, who originally had no good impression of New York, had to admit what her companions said.

'New York is a magical place. One day you will fall in love with it.'

Liu Meina felt that perhaps the timing was right now.

"Li Zhenyu, like you... an international student?"

"Hey, what about you? Are you here to travel?"

"Ani, come to work."

"Wow, big hair."

"Why do you say that?"

There was nothing surprising about coming to New York to work; she acted like she had discovered a new world.

It gives people a feeling of overdoing it.

Could it be that I am being targeted by some gold diggers?
