Along the way, through the car window, they saw bustling crowds of tourists. Most of them were Chinese with black hair and yellow skin. They marveled at the environmental quality of the United States. There was almost no dust in the air, almost no bare land, almost no construction sites, and not even a large truck that was blowing dust. All they could see were stretches of lawns and green forests.
On the other hand, they lamented that the United States was a big rural area. After nine o 'clock, there was not even a place to eat skewers. The nightlife was completely incomparable to that in China.
After China experienced 30 years of reform and opening up, many Chinese people who came to the United States for the first time often felt less intuitive. The second and third tier cities in China were also full of high-rise buildings, and the highways and even subways were more advanced than in the United States.
Many things had become commonplace.
There was nothing new about it.
The only thing that drove them was to buy luxury goods that were cheaper than in China, and to buy property here for their children's education …
Few people were willing to leave their family and business to be stowaways here to pursue the so-called 'American Dream'. Besides, they were not so incompetent. Generally, those who had a little money and really felt that the United States was a paradise would naturally apply for immigration …
"Mr. Li, I have a banquet here tonight. I hope you can attend." Ivanov drove personally, and from time to time, he looked at Li He's face through the rearview mirror.
He was the number one real estate tycoon in the United States, the head of Noffey Real Estate, and the chairman of Buffo Group. As the 20th richest person in the world, he naturally had a wide range of friends, from the political world to the business world.
"No, you guys have fun." Li He obviously did not have much interest.
"Okay." Ivanov understood Li He's character very well. "I respect your decision."
He hesitated and then said, "Columbia Radio wants to do an interview with you, but I haven't agreed yet."
"Do you still need to ask this kind of thing?" Li He lit a cigar and blew out a big smoke ring.
"Yes, I'm sorry. The chairman of Columbia is my friend, and he will also attend tonight's banquet." Ivanov also felt that his question was a bit redundant. In fact, people who were in contact with Li He knew that this weirdo never accepted any interviews!
He was quite helpless. He did not know what Li He was thinking!
Li He smiled and did not say anything.
No one understood the freedom he sought.
In the evening, Ivanov's manor was filled with jubilation. Li He didn't join in. He was lying on the lounge chair by the pool, drinking and reporting to his wife.
After hanging up the call with his wife, he thought about his daughter again.
"Dad, you don't have to do this. I just called you this morning. I'm driving." Li Yi answered the phone while driving. "I went to Chinatown to buy some chili sauce."
"Drive then. Don't let the police catch you." Li He was about to hang up when he suddenly heard his daughter scream. He asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, Dad." Li Yi saw a bicycle crossing from the left side of the sidewalk. The bicycle was only a few centimeters away from the front of her car. Fortunately, she stepped on the brakes in time. Otherwise, she would have crashed into it. The person on the bicycle got off the bicycle and walked towards her. She hurriedly took a deep breath and said slowly, "Dad, I didn't pay attention to the traffic light. I almost crossed the line. I have to go now. I'll call you when I get to the dormitory."
"That's good. It's Dad's fault. I shouldn't have called you while you were driving." Li He quickly apologized.
"I'm hanging up. Bye. The police are here." The person on the bicycle was already knocking on the window. Li Yi quickly hung up and rolled down the window. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry. Your temper …"
She carefully looked at this handsome boy. He was tall, and the only thing lacking was his eyes, which were not very good-looking. However, from the looks of his face, he was a kind person, not the kind of person who looked like a fiend.
"You didn't pay attention to safety when you were driving." Fu Yao was furious that he was almost hit by a car. He didn't have to be so angry, but he was annoyed by a black customer just now. He said, "That's a traffic light. This is a crosswalk. You can't talk while driving."
"Sorry, sorry." Li Yi smiled awkwardly. "There's an emergency call at home. I have to answer it."
Fu Yao was like a child. He said angrily, "You didn't stop at a red light. You're fined 533 yuan. You crossed the double yellow line. You're fined 425 yuan.
"You're from China too?" Li Yi didn't pay much attention to the other party's nagging. Based on his accent, she felt that they could be friends. "We're all Chinese. Don't be so calculative."
"I'm Chinese, yes, but I'm from Singapore!" Fu Yao had experienced this kind of misunderstanding many times. He was already used to it.
"We're both Chinese anyway. What's the difference?" Li Yi said with a smile. "I parked my bike by the side of the road. If I blocked the car behind, it would really attract the police."
"Alright." Fu Yao also moved his bike to the side of the road.
"Your Chinese is very good." Li Yi parked her bike at the side of the road and said to Fu Yao, "I sincerely apologize again. It's all my fault. I scared you."
"It's okay. It's okay." He was not a calculative person. Moreover, he was facing such a beautiful girl.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" Li Yi asked with concern.
"Thank you for your concern." Fu Yao sighed and sat by the side of the road. "I'm just unlucky."
Then, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
"I'll pay you, okay?" Li Yi sat down with him. She opened her wallet and took out a thousand dollars. She said pitifully, "Please don't call the police."
"I don't want it." Fu Yao didn't even look at it, let alone take the money.
"If you call the police, it'll be over." Li Yi pretended to cry. "You can't bear to see a weak girl like me being scared by the police, right?"
"You can go." Fu Yao lowered his head. He didn't dare to look at Li Yi. "It's not your fault. I was riding my bike carelessly."
He couldn't bear to see a girl cry.
"Really?" Li Yi laughed. She laughed at his cuteness. She had never seen such an innocent boy.
The men he interacted with the most were his father and his older brother. His father's arrogance could shake the heavens, and his words were unreliable. As for his older brother, although he didn't like to speak much and was a cold and aloof person, he was actually someone with ideas and ideas.
It was the first time she met someone like Fu Yao.
"I'll stay here for a while. You can go. It's really okay." Fu Yao recalled the scene when the black man pointed at his nose and scolded him. At that time, he really wanted to fight with him.
But in the end, he resisted.
