Chapter 578

"Boss, are you a little overprotective?" Jesse asked without looking back while sitting in the cab eating the hot dog bought by the roadside stall.

"Excessive desire for protection? Why do you think so?" Zhang Cheng asked with a smile.

"Isn't it? You should know that Elizabeth just changed to a public school with a slightly worse environment. You came here to have a look. It's estimated that my parents didn't care about me so much when I went to school." Jesse explained with envy and jealousy on her face.

Through the rearview mirror, Zhang Cheng saw the expression on the slightly neurotic girl's face, smiled and waved his hand: "no, of course not. Do you think I'm protecting Elizabeth? In fact, I'm just protecting the last pure land in my heart.

You know, from a psychological point of view, the more a person lacks something, the more he desires to get something.

Just like a gangster boss, what he wants most is not to kill his competitors or dominate in which place.

What they really want is an ordinary life without worrying about being killed all day, or a simple love mixed with any money, power and threat.

As for the reason is very simple, not to say how rare and precious ordinary life and beautiful and simple love are, but for gang members whose hands are already stained with blood, that is the last hope and pure land in their hearts.

Think about it. How many vicious drug lords and gang bosses in the world have a carefully cared for family behind them, or beloved lovers and relatives?

Remember, Jesse, there are almost three kinds of motivation to support people to live. The first is ambition and desire, the second is the hope and spiritual sustenance I just mentioned, and the third is strong hatred.

I don't want to be a monster who lives only on the first and third motivation one day. That kind of life is really sad. "

Jesse Livermore swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded thoughtfully. "I seem to understand a little. Elizabeth has something you want but can never get, so protecting her is protecting the pure land and hope in her heart?"

"That's right! Do you want to see me completely fall into the darkness and become a reckless madman?" a dark, bloodthirsty and crazy light flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes.

"No! Not at all!" Jesse was no doubt aware of this and trembled subconsciously.

You know, the crazy cleaning in the past two weeks has made her feel that many people are full of a strong smell of blood. If it's like this all day, I'm afraid she'll have a nervous breakdown soon.

As sociologists have said, although the world is dark, politics is dirty and human nature is ugly, human beings always need a little light and hope to support themselves to live, even if the light and hope are false and forged.

"Well, let's go. Since Elizabeth has the ability to protect herself, we don't have to stay and waste time. When we go to the suburbs of New York, my nominal mother is still waiting for me on the construction site." after that, Zhang Cheng picked up his cell phone and shook the address in the text message.

"OK! I promise I'll be there in an hour at most." without saying a word, Jesse stepped on the accelerator and drove straight towards the highway.

After all, the traffic in New York is notoriously congested, especially during rush hours. It is common to block for two or three hours, and only the highway can be slightly better.

Fortunately, not long after Christmas, many people are still taking annual leave, so there are not enough vehicles to make people uncomfortable.

About forty-seven or eight minutes later, the two tough off-road vehicles finally stopped next to a busy construction site.

In a place the size of two standard stadiums, a large number of cranes and excavators are digging the foundation quickly. Even the hard frozen soil in winter can't resist the power of machinery.

Only one thing is very suspicious, that is, when digging the foundation, a steel column engraved with strange symbols will be smashed in at intervals.

What I know is that a large totally enclosed plant cultivation center will be built here. What I don't know is that I thought I was going to build some wonderful art buildings.

Listening to the loud noise from the machinery, Zhang Cheng opened the door and took the initiative to walk down.

Before he took a few steps, Zhang Zhi, who had been waiting for a long time, came over with a latino man who looked in his fifties and wore a hard hat. With a smile on her face, she asked, "how was Christmas?"

"Not bad! Everything is fine except the bad weather in New York." Zhang Cheng deliberately pretended to be indifferent and spread his hand.

Since he learned what a terrible desire for control was hidden in front of the shrewd and capable mother, he subconsciously forced himself to be vigilant.

"Really? I thought you weren't satisfied with the Christmas present I gave you." Zhang Zhi teased me meaningfully.

Zhang Cheng quickly replied with a smile: "how! In my eyes, that 25% of the original shares is the best Christmas gift."

"Just understand." when the strong mother heard this sentence, her face showed satisfaction. "Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Martin in charge of construction. He wants to discuss many construction problems face to face with you. After all, you have put forward many strange requirements."

"Hello, Mr. Zhang." the Mexican in his fifties offered his right hand.

"Hello, Mr. Martin."

Out of politeness, Zhang Cheng also reached out his right hand and shook it with the other party, followed by a straightforward question: "what don't you understand about construction?"

"Yes, sir." the old man called Martin quickly spread out the drawing in his hand and pointed out several key points: "I don't understand. Why did you smash those iron pillars engraved with mysterious symbols into the foundation? This will greatly increase the difficulty of construction and increase the construction period and cost. If you can, I hope to remove them, so that at least $3 million to $5 million can be left."

"No, No. they are the most critical parts of the building and can't be removed in any case. In addition, the steel plates and pipes embedded in the wall I asked must not be changed at all, otherwise the whole building will lose its function." Zhang Cheng gave a negative answer without thinking.

These things are the top priority to support the Pang magic structure. Let alone cancel a certain part, that is, there are several defects in the construction, which will lead to the failure of the start-up of the whole huge arcane garden.

Of course, small defects can be repaired one by one through exclusion, but if there are problems in the main structure, God can't save them.

"Can't move at all?" Martin stared incredulously.

As a Latino construction engineer who immigrated from Mexico to the United States, he met for the first time an employer who was unwilling to reduce construction costs.

"Can't move at all! Not only can't move, but also ensure the quality. Therefore, even more money is worth it..."
