Tiffany was standing with a Caucasian man in his thirties outside the door. He was wearing a suit and tie and had a smile that looked like it was glued on his face. They were talking softly.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, the smile on the man's face became even brighter. Looking at Zhang Lisheng, he politely handed over a business card. "Mr. Zhang, nice to meet you. I'm Charles Doltenen, the claims adjuster of Sterling Insurance Company.
It's my pleasure to serve you today.
Your car has been repaired and sent here. You'll get it after you sign a few documents. It's exactly the same as a new car. "
"Thank you, Mr. Charles. What are we waiting for?"
Charles smiled and took out a few documents and a pen from his briefcase, "This page and this page were supposed to be signed last night but I didn't disturb you last night since you weren't feeling well."
"Thank you," Zhang Lisheng took the documents and pen and began signing using the wall as a desk.
"Mr. Zhang, I see that you have a slaughterhouse factory that's doing well. I wonder if you've thought about making this business more secure?" Charles took the opportunity to ask while Zhang Lisheng was signing.
"That's a great idea but I'm planning to buy a second slaughterhouse after Christmas. I don't have enough funds right now.
How about this, call me two months later and I'll give you an answer then, "Zhang Lisheng handed the signed documents back to Charles as he spoke.
"Oh, you're ambitious and energetic. You'll definitely be successful in the future, Mr. Zhang." Charles complimented Zhang Lisheng hearing that there was still business to talk about. He passed the Explorer's remote key and his name card to Zhang Lisheng with both hands after taking the documents, "I'll bring you to check your car."
"Sure."
The slaughterhouse's business never stopped. The repaired Explorer was still parked outside the factory's iron fence.
Its surface had been completely refurbished, glistening under the sunlight.
The interior of the car was brand new too when he opened the door. There was a faint fragrance coming from it. Seeing that the car had gone through a special deodorization process, one could no longer tell that the car had just gone through a strange disaster last night.
"The car's in good condition, thank you," Zhang Lisheng walked around the car and lowered the window to take a look.
Charles watched Zhang Lisheng checking the condition of the car by the side. He did not even know how to start the car and listen to the sound of the engine, so he lowered his head and smiled. "Then, if there's any problem while driving, please contact me at any time to deal with it. Goodbye, Mr. Zhang." Then, he shook hands with Zhang Lisheng to bid farewell.
Naturally, Zhang Lisheng did not plan to stay in the slaughterhouse since the car was fixed. He got into the driver's seat of the Explorer and chanted witchcraft incantation softly to summon Island Dragon to the top of the car. He then turned the car around and drove to New York City.
The witchcraft that was inherited from the ancient Chinese gods had its own wonders. A gigantic wizard worm was crawling on top of the SUV. With the help of its skin color and the change of its surroundings without any delay, it managed to deceive everyone's eyes along the way.
By the time he parked the car in the parking lot, it was already seven o 'clock in the evening. The lights in New York City had just been turned on, and the cold wind was blowing.
Zhang Lisheng got off the car and walked a few steps with the invisible Island Dragon at the corner of the empty parking lot. All of a sudden, he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Although Zhang Lisheng seemed much more mature and reliable than his peers since he was young, he was still a young man after all. He hesitated for a moment and controlled Island Dragon to crawl on the ground. He climbed onto the wizard worm's back strenuously and sat with his legs crossed.
"It's so dark here, and it's the surveillance's blind spot. Nobody will notice me …" Zhang Lisheng mumbled to cheer himself up and controlled the giant lizard to straighten its body.
At this moment, he felt like he was floating high up in the air, he was shaking.
However, although it seemed like there was nothing under Zhang Lisheng's butt, in reality, his canvas pants and the wizard worm's smooth, rough scales had a great friction. He would not fall at all.
The strong wind was blowing over ten meters in the air, messing up the young man's short hair.
Zhang Lisheng, who was thinking about how much money he could earn during Christmas and whether it was enough to buy a small slaughterhouse to replenish the giant lizard's blood supply, suddenly felt a sense of joy that he had not felt for a long time.
The plan to break through in witchcraft deep in his heart.
The anxiety of guarding against the enemies that he had made in the past.
The anxiety of living a life that was much busier than his peers was swept away.
The emotion that he felt when he crossed the ocean for the first time by plane filled Zhang Lisheng's chest again. He recited softly, "Traveling to Penglai Island in the morning and staying at Tiantai Mountain in the evening, this is truly freedom. How can an ordinary person …"
As the ancient Chinese poem was recited, Zhang Lisheng, who was initially planning to sit on Island Dragon's back to enjoy the cool breeze to clear his head, controlled the wizard worm to leap and stretch its body. It glided out of the parking lot lightly.
At that moment, a fat guard in the parking lot's surveillance room was stuffing a thick six-layered beef burger into his mouth in satisfaction. All of a sudden, he saw a skinny silhouette with only half of its body flashing before his eyes on the cheap infrared monitor's blurry screen. He could not help but be stunned.
"Kimmy, do you believe me? I saw a ghost without legs floating above our parking lot just now. Or maybe it's a disabled alien with an anti-gravity device on it …" A few seconds later, the fat guard snapped back to reality and bit half of his burger while speaking to his colleague behind him in a muffled voice.
His slightly skinny colleague did not even lift his head. He scoffed and said while making his coffee, "Sh * t, it's so cold today.
"Kimmy, I'm sure it's not a ghost or some disabled alien that floated before your eyes just now. It's your cholesterol and fat that affected your vision.
"If you change your dinner from the Big Mac beef burger to cucumber strips, I believe you won't be able to see them anymore in two months, erm, half a year."
While chatting with the guard at the parking lot, Zhang Lisheng was already hugging Island Dragon's slender neck and sitting on it. They arrived at the lawn outside his house after crossing a journey that would usually take five to six minutes to walk.
Along the way, the light was dim. The giant lizard that wandered in New York's steel jungle retracted its claws that were as sharp as iron hooks into its flesh. It spread its huge webbed claws and evenly distributed its body weight. Then, it nimbly jumped on the trees and houses. Miraculously, it did not alert anyone and passed through two streets.
However, a large patch of grass was bent when it finally landed on the lawn.
The empty space around the house was big enough for the giant lizard to curl up. However, Zhang Lisheng had regained his usual calmness after jumping off the wizard worm while panting heavily. He felt that he would be easily noticed on the ground.
He looked around at the tall trees on both sides of the road with the help of the dim lights on the street. He recalled the wizard worm's body that was as light as a bird just now and controlled Island Dragon to leap onto the thickest tree on the side of the road.
The branches of the big tree were shaking. Fortunately, all of the leaves had fallen, otherwise, they would have fallen like raindrops.
Fortunately, Zhang Lisheng watched in fear as the branches bent and stabilized after shaking for a while. They did not break.
He was relieved and walked into his house in a relaxed manner.
It was a Sunday tradition for the whole family to have dinner together. Everyone was there.
Seeing Zhang Lisheng taking off his jacket while shivering slightly from the cold but he was unusually excited, Lili said in pain as she rushed to the dining table, "Baby, you're back. You must be starving."
"Lisheng, it was your first time working overnight yesterday and you even slept outside. How did it feel?" Sullo asked while smiling while sitting next to him.
"Not bad, Uncle Lavin.
The biggest reward is that I found out it doesn't take too much strength to dismember a cow with the right tools, "Zhang Lisheng said casually while sitting on an empty seat in the dining room.
"Erm, Lisheng, we're eating," Rili said while putting down her fork in disgust.
"Isn't it just a cow? You're eating beef now," Randy said while chewing on the beef ribs, "What I'm more concerned about is why Lisheng can stay out at night when he's only 16 but I can't when I'm almost 18."
"It's because he's thinking about going through thick and thin with his employee when he's dating. On the other hand, you're thinking about which cheerleader girl has the longest legs when you're playing basketball."
"Oh, is that so, dad? You're so wrong if you think I'll only care about the girls' legs and ignore their other 'strengths' …"
"Shut up, Randy if you still want this week's allowance," Sullo shouted in the most effective way before his son said anything that was not to be heard.
"Sullo, don't shout. Randy was just joking," Lili returned to the dining table while carrying a plate filled with steak and spaghetti, "Randy, your jokes shouldn't be said in front of your brothers and sisters, especially in front of your two sisters. Be careful next time.
Kids, the whole family will go to the hospital to decorate the Christmas ward after school tomorrow. Remember to come back early.
Baby, your car can fit seven people. Can I drive your car to the hospital this time? "She placed the plate with the food in front of Zhang Lisheng as she spoke.
"Of course, mom," Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"I heard that you bought a good car, brother," Randy said while pretending to be indifferent, "The Ford Explorer is a ride that only a real man can drive.
I'll drive it for you sometime and show you how to tame this wild horse. "
"Using the method you used to tame the rabbit, Randy?" Harry who was sitting opposite asked in a funny tone.
"Shut up, you little brat …"
Zhang Lisheng finished his dinner in a hurry while Randy and Harry were arguing.
After returning to his room, he spent the long night cultivating his secret method instead of sleeping as usual.
