"I've said it's fine, Tina. You don't have to drive so fast, at least wait for me to open the gate first." Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting on the passenger seat, took out a black remote control that he snatched from Rudolph and said while forcing a smile while opening the gate.
What he said seemed to work as Tina slowed down a little. However, Tina stepped on the accelerator even harder as soon as the gate was opened. She drove the pickup truck that was giving off a deep 'vroom vroom vroom …' and dashed out of the dark alley outside without saying a word.
"Okay Tina, can you turn on the lights first even if you're in a rush to get back to New York City?" Zhang Lisheng seemed to sense something off more or less. He reminded her one last time and said nothing more.
The pickup truck sped on the empty road back to New York at the maximum speed that was limited by the machine. They began to bump into other cars when they were getting close to New York City.
Since there were cars, there would be drivers. Tina's nervousness was clearly calmed down since she bumped into the crowd. She slowed down slowly and was no longer as crazy.
By the time she blended the car into the traffic and drove into Brooklyn, New York along the beltway, Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat in silence, suddenly said, "Tina, pull over at an intersection where you can park and put me down."
Tina was stunned and slowly parked the car by the side of the road.
Zhang Lisheng took out all of the notes from his pocket and put them on the driver's seat. He only kept a few coins for himself. "Tina, thank you for everything you've done for me.
I promised to have a lobster dinner with you, but unfortunately so many accidents happened. I'm afraid you're not willing to have dinner with me anymore.
But it's fine, I understand how you feel. You can keep the money, please treat yourself tonight.
Also, I just want you to know that I'm completely different from scumbags like Rudolph. I'll never hurt anyone, let alone my friend.
Those who were treated coldly by me have a reason to be treated like that. I hope we can meet again, friend. "
Zhang Lisheng opened the car door and walked to the street without looking back after he was done speaking.
Tina stared at his back and opened her mouth slightly as if she was about to scream. However, the horrifying memories flashed before her eyes and she forced the scream that was about to come out of her mouth back into her stomach.
Walking on the cold New York street, Zhang Lisheng walked to the bus stop. He took the bus back and forth and finally returned to Lowbige community. It was already past nine at night when he walked into his house.
Lili was the only one watching TV in the living room on the first floor while Sullo was still working overtime. Meanwhile, the kids who had just recovered from the sadness of Michelle being attacked were having fun outside. They would not come back until the curfew was set at 10 o 'clock.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Lili stood up from the sofa. When she saw Zhang Lisheng walking into the house, she ran over to hug her son and said, "Baby, you're back. Did you enjoy your date today?"
"That's not a date, mom." Zhang Lisheng thought about it and said, "That lady is my middleman. I asked her to stay in Kaiserland Town near New York City. I bought a small slaughterhouse. "
"What did you say?" Lili was stunned for a moment and asked in shock.
"Well, I realized there's a lot to be done in the meat industry in New York through working at Dan Souza Butcher Shop. Coincidentally, I have a … a … you know, a pension.
Therefore, I bought a small slaughterhouse in Kaiserland Town that's approximately an hour's drive away from Brooklyn.
However, you don't have to worry that I'll neglect my studies because I'm planning to join the National Farmers Union in Kaiserland Town. I'll run this slaughterhouse by the farmers themselves.
In other words, I'll get the farmers to operate the automatic machines in the slaughterhouse to kill their livestock themselves. They'll pay me the rent for using the machines.
My initial plan would be 50 dollars for a pig, 150 dollars for a cow and 40 dollars for a sheep.
I'll install some surveillance cameras in the slaughterhouse. The farmers can sign up online and pay the rent in advance if they want to rent the slaughterhouse to kill their livestock themselves. I'll manage it remotely by arranging the slaughtering sequence according to the registration time. What do you think? "Zhang Lisheng mutated Tina's suggestion and said without stopping.
Lili took a long time to digest the information that Zhang Lisheng sent to her. She said while tongue-tied, "W-What do I think? Wow, I think … I think my son is adapting to life in America.
He's even adapting to life much better than his siblings who grew up in America!
Stephen and Randy were still going through Sullo's wallet when they were your age but you're already running a slaughterhouse. Mom's proud of you.
But how much did you spend to buy that slaughterhouse? "
"105,000 dollars, it's very cheap."
"How much?" Tina said in shock.
"105,000 dollars, we made the deal today. This is the contract," Zhang Lisheng took out the contract from his pocket and passed it to Lili while saying calmly.
"Oh, oh, I know you've always been quite independent, baby, but 105,000 dollars is a lot of money," Lili said as she took the contract and looked at it. "D-Don't you think you should discuss it with me?"
"Do you know anything about slaughtering, mom?"
"I don't but …"
"But I do. This deal will definitely be the foundation of my career."
"But isn't your dream to be a biologist?"
"That's why I'll work hard to earn money first and invest to build the most advanced biology lab in the world. I don't have to be controlled by those rich but stupid science donors."
"Oh baby, you're so far-sighted.
Okay, since you've thought of everything and spent a lot of money to buy a slaughterhouse, I have nothing to say. I can only do my best to help you … "
"Thank you mom but everything is under my control now. I don't need your help.
I only hope that you can give me more free time and promise me to learn how to drive and buy a car. After all, I'll have to walk around Kaiserland Town often even if I manage it remotely. "
"Of course, I can promise you that, baby. Do you still have money to learn how to drive and buy a car …"
"Yes, I still have 5,000 dollars saved. It's enough for me."
"Sounds like you already have a plan. Wow, I suddenly feel like my kid has grown up and can be independent now.
This is unbelievable. I was worried that you couldn't adapt to life in America two months ago but now you've found yourself a beautiful middleman and bought a slaughterhouse. You've started your business!
This, this is really amazing. "
"Mom, it's just a slaughterhouse.
Some kids in America have already built their own internet companies at my age and they're going to be listed. "
"However, those kids who built internet companies are other people's kids but you're my baby.
I'm proud of you, proud of your big dream and your courage to take the first step.
Remember, I'll always support you from behind. Baby, I hope you can tell me anytime if you have any trouble in the future. "
"Thank you, mom," Zhang Lisheng hugged Lili as he was touched. "I need your help now.
I haven't had dinner yet, can you make me a beef pie? "
"Oh, of course, baby," Lili walked to the kitchen immediately. "Didn't you have dinner with your beautiful middleman after you've completed the deal?"
"I had a misunderstanding with her, I'm afraid we won't be seeing each other anymore."
"Oh baby, do you need to talk to me?"
"No mom, I've told you many times that I'm not as weak as you think."
"Of course, my little factory owner. Apart from the beef pie, do you need me to bake you a chocolate cake? I bought fresh chocolate sauce and ice cream today."
"It's alright, mom," Zhang Lisheng said while forcing a smile.
After Lili was done with the beef pie, Zhang Lisheng finished it in a few bites and said goodnight to Lili who was nagging him to eat slowly. He then went upstairs and returned to his room immediately.
He closed the door and hopped onto the bed in a few steps. He took Mountoad out of his backpack and put it on the window sill. He began cultivating the Rank-2 Wizard secret method as usual after sitting comfortably.
Just when he closed his eyes with concentration, a lively Demon's chest appeared clearly in Zhang Lisheng's mind. However, he could not build the internal and external circulation between him and the wizard worm no matter what.
"As expected, I can't use the Rank-2 Wizard secret method anymore after breaking through to Rank-3 Wizard," Zhang Lisheng mumbled to himself after the experiment and began cultivating the Rank-3 Wizard secret method.
Sensing the secret method, the wizard worm that looked a little creepy and terrifying under the moonlight opened its big mouth and spat out a mouthful of black gas that covered Zhang Lisheng's entire body.
At that moment, a pair of gigantic arms grew out of the Demon's chest in his mind. They were illusory and were waving softly.
As the pair of arms waved continuously, the wizard power in Zhang Lisheng's blood began to flow slowly. It turned into tens of illusory strange bugs that refined the impurities in his body into black smoke. The black smoke was then expelled from the seven orifices of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
As the black smoke floated out, it flowed straight into Mountoad's big mouth, completing the first internal and external circulation of the Rank-3 Wizard secret method.
Zhang Lisheng went into cultivation mode as soon as the circulation was completed. He seemed like he was sleeping until the next morning.
