"My nanny...why, she has worked in this family for 15 years and is the most reliable family member than anyone else."

In response to Mark's explanation, Li Zhenyu just nodded and said, "Yes, yes, you are right."

Half an hour ago, he thought Mark was a cheerful and friendly playboy.

Now……

" Hey , wait, let's talk about the $200,000 first."

What level? Spending $200,000 a month, is she a wealthy lady from the Upper East Side?

"The baby's milk powder, rent, food, clothing, housing, transportation, car, housekeeper, nanny, occasional travel to take the baby to experience different places, and some miscellaneous expenses."

Li Zhenyu was stunned after hearing this. Who calculated this? It's not right! The purchasing power of the US dollar is very strong. Look at those people who are receiving gifts. The $50 coupons in the envelope can make them laugh from the bottom of their hearts.

For $1, you can buy 2.4 liters of gasoline, a pound of chicken, half a pound of pork, an ounce of prime beef, or 10 kilowatt-hours of household electricity, 2 pounds of flour, or rent a DVD.

For a poor person, $50 was enough to cover the family's expenses for a week, allowing them to buy a small amount of meat, milk, and flour and make some real... delicious food.

The rest of the time, you can use the remaining money to fill your stomach.

If it's one person, it can even last for 2 to 3 weeks. This is the real purchasing power of $50.

A single mother with a child... $200,000... every month...

Well, Li Zhenyu believed that her life must be very exciting, and perhaps her electricity bill would cost her $100,000 every month.

In the electronic age, with so many electronic products, the numbers in the electric meter will of course jump constantly.

So, what’s wrong with expensive electricity bills?

"What are your plans?"

After saying so much, Mark was just venting his complaints and didn't mention what he was going to do.

Now that he had told himself about it, it wouldn't seem excessive to continue discussing it.

Although, he doesn't seem to be very tight-lipped.

This made Li Zhenyu warn himself in his heart that if there was anything he didn't want others to know, he should never discuss it with Mark.

"Actually, I don't know..."

Mark really has a headache. Compared with the troubles caused by other situations, the child support of $200,000 per month doesn't seem so important.

If the rumor gets out, it will affect his reputation, and if it is left unchecked, it will destroy his credibility. Both of them cannot be measured by money alone, which is why he allows himself to be deceived and blackmailed.

Of course, part of it is because of the children...

Mark had a difficult childhood, as did most of his friends.

In the future, his children will also have to work just as hard, only in this way can they maintain their family's current class.

But this child is different. He can be stupid, live for himself, does not need to bear any burden of responsibility, and choose the life he wants.

You can even give up college and get an ordinary job like those poor people.

As long as that's what he wants...

When he thought of this, Mark's mood became so complicated that he couldn't think.

"Take the child to your side and find a qualified mother for him. Then, tell the other person everything and live a happy and fulfilling life."

"Oh my god, are you kidding me?"

Mark widened his eyes, as if he saw a three-legged sheep waving a sickle in front of him.

He wanted to find someone to marry with his illegitimate child.

He is also trying to make his future wife, who is somewhere unknown, accept his mistakes and children, hahahaha…

Mark thought he was crazy enough, but now it seems that he is obviously not crazy enough.

Seeing his expression of seeing a ghost, Li Zhenyu said with a heroic smile: "In life, we should be brave enough to challenge ourselves. How can we know if we can't do it if we don't try?"

Li Zhenyu can think of many ways, not just the one he mentioned.

However, those methods come with additional responsibilities and may lead to being implicated.

The relationship between Mark and him is not good enough for me to take risks for him.

"Okay, okay, thanks for the great idea, I'll try it."

From his perfunctory tone, it was clear that these words were purely polite, and Li Zhenyu also cooperated by changing the subject.

The two talked about charity again, and Mark talked to him a lot.

In the United States, charity is not just a career, but also a symbol of identity and status, a business card and master key to foreign relations.

Being able to do charity well is one of the necessary conditions to reach the top of the pyramid.

Just this year, society has once again redefined classes: the rich, the wealthy, and the super rich.

Look at those guys who are known as super-rich. Except for one or two old fogies who will be swept into the dustbin of the times, everyone's label says "charitarian."

"You should start getting in touch with it now and gradually become familiar with it. These experiences will benefit you for the rest of your life."

"In fact, I do charity work... in my country."

Mark stopped and said as tactfully as possible: "Lee, you should focus more on this. New York is your future."

In fact, Mark prefers the phrase 'New York is the future of the world.'

Since they are friends, I won't provoke him.

Mark's understanding of him is superficial. It is said that South Koreans are in the national honor...

Extremely sensitive.

There are other aspects that, as a new friend, he should care about more than others.

4:27 p.m., Pier 90, Lower Manhattan.

Mark got out of the Bentley, walked around the front of the car, and stood side by side with Li Zhenyu on the edge of the dock, looking at the countless docks and moored sailboats and yachts on both sides.

In Manhattan, truly wealthy people don't bother competing in luxury cars.

Because, no matter how expensive your car is or how powerful its horsepower is, it will still be stuck on the road, moving slowly at 40 mph.

When you are in a hurry to get somewhere but are stuck in traffic and can only move forward slowly, a car body covered with gold cannot change your bad mood.

Of course, there are exceptions for those who collect stamps. Who can resist the temptation of stamp collecting?

They pay more attention to tools that can help them save time and free their minds.

Such as helicopters, yachts, sailboats...

Sailing is the choice of more people here, just as Li Zhenyu and Mark saw.

Most of the wealthy people who live here can afford a similar yacht, which is large enough to accommodate a dozen or twenty people for daily use.

However, the mooring fees for a single pier are prohibitively high, and the maintenance of the yacht is even more so.

With parking fees of $100,000 to $500,000 per year, even the rich would think twice.

Therefore, sailing became the next choice.

It can not only demonstrate one's personality and courage, maintain one's status and face, and meet daily communication needs, but also avoid high parking and maintenance costs.

If they really need to, they can always go to the yacht club to rent a big boat.
