This is a high-class district in Manhattan. In this land where every inch of land is worth money, even if you don't have the capital to live here, you wouldn't dare to live here.
The people who lived here were mostly business elites and young talents, and Liu Lei could be considered one of them.
It was now 3 in the morning. Liu Lei, who smelled like alcohol, shakily returned to his own residence.
Of course, the smell of alcohol on his body was only for others to see. There were many things a person would feel embarrassed to say when they were awake.
He could only borrow the alcohol to strengthen his courage. He was already mentally prepared. At most, he would just have to change his job.
Ever since the university came to the United States, he had kept a green card with him. He had been a great talent since college.
Other than having good homework and good physical activity, his greatest specialty was women's luck. The speed at which he changed his girlfriend was even faster than other students.
It had been decades since he had thought of staying in the game, but he had never thought of staying for anyone. Every night was a new beginning for him.
However, the girl he had been dating was quite troublesome. He could only blame himself for not collecting any good information. He had always treated women well. He hadn't expected that he would be tricked by the big BOSS's daughter.
The two of them had been together for three months, which was already Liu Lei's record. It was just that he couldn't find a reason to break up.
The principle of his relationship was to have a good time and leave, but now that he couldn't, it really gave him a headache.
One month ago, Jenny had moved to his residence, just like a mistress.
These few days, Liu Lei racked his brains to think of how to say goodbye. Before, he had tried to have a new marriage, but Jenny was very generous. A man wasn't married, and a woman wasn't married.
This made Liu Lei speechless. Why were men and women the same?
But at most they were only bed mates, and he had no right to mind her business, so he really had no choice but to come back a little later.
However, this western girl was different from the eastern girl. Although they would not stubbornly fight against her, they would also not give up on the things that they took a fancy to. Moreover, the greater the measure, the more terrifying it would be.
He held the key in his hand and tried it several times, but it was as if his hand were trembling. When he picked up the key that had fallen to the ground for the first time, the station opened from the inside.
"Lei, you drank again?"
The woman who opened the door said in disgust.
"Men, it's normal for them to have meals and drink. Especially us Chinese men, we don't know much about wine anymore. Wine is essential."
Liu Lei laughed dumbly and shook his finger.
"But this is America, and I've already told my dad to try not to let you go out for social meetups. Why aren't you listening?"
Jenny's tone wasn't very good. She was determined to win against an Oriental man like Liu Lei. It wasn't easy to get her to hand it over, so she wouldn't give up.
Perhaps he wasn't the best, but he was the one who attracted him the most. Back then, she didn't spare any effort to seduce him just so that she could one day enter the church by hand.
"Jenny, our relationship is personal and has nothing to do with business. I don't want you to talk about me in front of the CEO in the future."
Borrowing the alcohol, Liu Lei pushed Jenny away and yelled out the displeasure in his heart.
"Lei, shall we get married?"
Jenny walked up and wrapped her arms around Liu Lei's neck as she spoke in a delicate tone.
"Jenny, what did you say? Am I hearing things? "
Liu Lei originally wanted to play dumb, but after hearing Jenny mention marriage, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Marriage, I've already told dad. We're going to get engaged next month, okay? I want to have a beautiful mixed-blood baby. "
Jenny's rosy lips blew against Liu Lei's lips, but her smile was very piercing to Liu Lei's eyes.
"Jenny, I think we need to talk."
He hadn't even dreamed about this sort of thing. He would rather change jobs, start from the beginning, than to lose the rest of his life's happiness for the sake of five dumps of rice.
Although her dowry must be tempting, he did not care about it. If he had more money, it would just become a burden. Furthermore, his family's conditions were not bad, there was no need to 'sell' his body.
"Lei, you drank too much. I'll go put in a bath for you. I've arranged to have tea with dad in the morning. If there's anything we need to talk about, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Jenny took a few steps back and was very considerate.
"F * ck you, I've had enough. What kind of marriage is this? If I want to marry you, I'll marry myself. I'm not interested."
When Liu Lei saw Jenny mention his dad again, he got angry to the point that he even started swearing.
"Lei, we've been together for three months, and you also said that you love me. It's normal to get engaged and get married, what happened to you?"
Hearing Liu Lei's uncivilized words, Jenny pretended to be shocked.
She could not learn from the Eastern girl's feigned weakness, so she could only use both hard and soft methods, hoping to pin this man down.
"What's wrong? "Scram right now and I'll tell you clearly, there can't be any results between us. Take advantage of the situation, I'll tell you clearly, I won't get married."
Liu Lei pointed at the door. He had tolerated her for long enough. Not only did he take over his house, he really did take it as a matter of fact.
"Liu Lei, you're drunk. Rest first, tomorrow …"
"Scram. I'm very clear-headed. Let me tell you clearly, this is the end between us. Tomorrow, I will hand over my resignation. From today on, don't appear before me again.
Liu Lei really went berserk tonight. After enduring for three months, he didn't expect that it would be in vain.
"Liu Lei, you really would rather resign than marry me?"
Liu Lei's words caused Jenny's face to change drastically. Although she never said it clearly, her words did have this meaning. She had always wanted to use her work to control Liu Lei.
"If you keep looking for work, you will have it. But a woman's life will be ruined if she marries the wrong wife. So, Miss Jenny, please —"
Liu Lei walked to the door, pulled it open again, and said to Jenny in a serious tone.
"You said you loved me. Liu Lei, take back what you said just now, I can treat it as …"
"Miss Jenny, don't you like Oriental men? "Then let me teach you something. If you say it, you won't be able to recover the water that you poured out. Also, don't believe a man's words when he's in bed."
The corner of Liu Lei's mouth held the evil smile of a thug. At this moment, his bad man's true colors were completely revealed.
"Liu Lei, you should be clear that marrying me is a man's dream, at least you can work fifty years less. Even if you don't love me, I don't mind. After marriage, you can still play with yours, as long as you don't go overboard …" It sounds like a good deal, but don't you think it looks cheap? "Miss Jenny, I think you still don't understand me. No matter how tempting your conditions may be, I have no intention of getting married. We have a saying in China: A man is thirty years old, and marriage is not within my consideration before the age of thirty. So please, please leave the key behind."
When Liu Lei was with every woman, he was very passionate. When he broke up with every woman, he was very heartless. He didn't believe the words' a friend or a breakup '.
"Liu Lei, you really don't even want a job?"
Jenny shouted at Liu Lei in fluent Chinese.
She had only started practicing Chinese because of him, but now, he actually said he would break up and just break up.
"Darling, you don't have to worry too much about me. I'll type out my resignation letter tonight and promise you won't see it again."
Liu Lei had an elegant and charming smile on his face. Recently, he had been annoyed by this woman, so he treated it as giving himself a vacation. Moreover, he hadn't returned for a long time, so he might as well go back to Taiwan for a vacation.
"Dearest, you should think for the whole night. Tomorrow morning, Father and I will be waiting for you at the Kyle Hotel."
Jenny's face was abnormally rosy, her blue eyes were like the undulating sea, but she suppressed the waves she wanted to create, and said to Liu Lei with a smile.
"OK, but please leave the key."
Seeing that Jenny left without leaving a key, Liu Lei hurriedly chased after her.
"Dearest, if you don't show up tomorrow morning, I'll get dad to return the key to you."
Jenny turned around and kissed Liu Lei on the lips.
Liu Lei was speechless. Looks like I have to change the lock. Alright, if I don't go with the old, then I'll have to change with the new.
After sending off his most difficult girlfriend in history, Liu Lei slammed the door, cheered, and jumped onto the sofa. Tonight was truly worthy of celebration.
He opened the wine cabinet and took out all the fine wine inside.
The next day, the hungover Liu Lei felt like he had just gone to bed when he was woken up by the sound of a phone ringing. Although his head was in a bit of a headache, he was still sober.
On weekends, even the boss refused to answer the phone, not to mention someone who had become an ex-girlfriend last night.
Liu Lei slept for the first time in three months on a rare quiet weekend. Early Monday morning, Liu Lei, who was in high spirits, arranged his work first thing after entering the office. The second thing he did was to take his resignation letter to the big boss.
"A Ken, sit, I was just looking for you."
He knocked on the door and entered. Before he could open his mouth, the big boss had already opened his mouth.
"CEO, actually the matter between me and your daughter …"
When Liu Lei heard this, he really felt a bit nervous. Big Boss couldn't also be coming to force a marriage, right?
"That's your personal matter, not your job. But what I said might be a good thing for you."
The big boss smiled and gestured for Liu Lei to sit down as they talked slowly.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
Hearing the boss say this, Liu Lei's heart was at ease.
"You should know about our cooperation project with TNS that I mentioned not long ago, right?"
After Liu Lei sat down, the big boss took out a pile of documents and said to Liu Lei.
"Yes, I've already instructed my subordinates to do that. CEO need not worry."
After Liu Lei heard this, he understood. It seemed like his boss had already prepared for him to leave. That's right, it was related to his family. Even the president would inevitably act emotionally.
"Ken, you can't be thinking that I'm going to fire you, right?"
The CEO smiled at Liu Lei.
"I was overthinking it."
When Liu Lei heard the CEO say this, he felt quite embarrassed.
"I've talked to the president of TNS, Zhuo Weiting. For our part, we will send someone over to Taiwan to discuss the contract. As you are a Taiwanese, I think it's more appropriate for you to do this. I wonder if you would be willing to go?"
The CEO said it gently. It seemed like he had thought it through in detail and had already made a plan.
"Of course, not only do I know the TNS CEO that the CEO said, their relationship isn't even close."
Liu Lei smiled. Leadership was leadership. As expected, an ordinary person was different. To be able to return to Taiwan and also work, Liu Lei was naturally willing to accept it.
"OK, no problem. Go and prepare it. I will mention it in the meeting later. Also, let's have lunch together."
The CEO nodded and indicated to Liu Lei that he could leave.
After leaving the CEO's room, Liu Lei understood that this so-called casual meal was probably about personal matters and should be about Jenny. However, he believed that the CEO had a sense of propriety, and he should be clear on what kind of person his daughter was.
He shouldn't be forced to marry like the antique parents in China.
