Chapter 2： Star Building

On the first day of the transfer, Locke felt the gap between colleges and universities.

On this day, Locke directly upgraded the mathematics and English of the potential points he had finally accumulated. After all, if he didn't upgrade, it would be amazing to get a basic reward this time.

but…

Investing in itself is not a loss.

Locke is not the kind of frog at the bottom of the well. He can feel that in Midtown High School, I am afraid that such sudden exams are not rare, and every exam will become his daily task.

As long as you take the exam twice, you can get back the potential points you spend. Then, the other exams in the ninth grade this semester will be purely earned.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Locke walked out of the college application counselor's office.

In the Commonwealth, the matter of going to college, in fact, has been prepared from the moment he first entered the college, but Locke has not yet decided which college to go to.

"Locke."

"Gwen?"

Locke took out his backpack from the cabinet and was about to leave when he heard a voice and looked at Gwen, who was holding a book in his arms.

It should be to go to college preparatory courses, the so-called AP courses.

Through AP courses, students can take college credits in advance, but the school does not make mandatory requirements, and students choose voluntarily.

Because Locke has just arrived, he hasn't made up his mind yet, so he hasn't decided yet.

Gwen looked at Locke who took out his backpack and smiled, "Aren't you going to join the club?"

Locke shrugged: "Just here, let's take a look and make a decision."

Gwen nodded and invited with a smile, "If you are interested, you can join our chemistry experiment group."

Locke said with a smile: "I need to take a look first, you know, after all, this is a new environment, I just moved from Texas, and I'm going to take a look at the house this afternoon."

Gwen was stunned for a moment: "You didn't in New York..."

"I'm an orphan," said Locke.

Gwen's expression changed slightly: "Oh, sorry, Locke, I'm not..."

Locke smiled: "It's okay, it's not bad to be alone."

Reincarnation is a technical job.

Especially the Commonwealth.

Compared with that kind of uncertain family, orphans are a constant starting point, and there is no need to worry about encountering a bad family, or something else.

"Do you need my help."

"Ok?"

Gwen smiled, opened her locker, took out her backpack, looked at Locke, and said, "I'm old New York, and helping my classmates is what my student assistant should do, let's go."

Very enthusiastic.

Locke looked at Gwen who flicked his ponytail, the picture was filled with such a happy decision, and blinked.

what's the situation?

Although I am an orphan, I am not poor.

but…

Locke looked at Gwen, who turned to greet him, with a sweet smile on his face, opened his mouth, and walked out.

By the way, little spider, where did you go?

Locke returned to his senses, picked up his backpack, and thought curiously in his heart.

Did I remember it wrongly?

"By the way, what's your budget?"

"what?"

"The budget for renting?"

Gwen, who walked out of the school gate with Locke and enthusiastically helped his classmates, said: "The City Hall has a certain rental subsidy for students who need to rent a house in Midtown University, and if there is a location in the welfare apartment, there is also a great discount. "

Locke said directly: "Actually, before I came to New York, I was optimistic."

Before he decided to transfer to New York, he could contact the house. He originally planned to come earlier, but he was delayed by the incident, which led to him arriving in New York this morning, and because it was the first day of the report, he could not Just skip class.

so…

"Yes?"

Gwen asked curiously, "Where is it, Oak Tree Apartments?"

Locke shook his head and stopped a taxi: "What's the name... Xingchen Building."

"What?" Gwen blinked, looking at Locke who helped her open the rear door, a little dazed.

Star Building?

Is it the one on Fifth Avenue?

Fifteen minutes later.

Fifth Avenue.

Locke got out of the car, took out his mobile phone, and called the contacted real estate agent.

Gwen, who was next to him, looked at the legendary Star Building in New York in front of him, blinked his eyes, and then couldn't help looking at Rock who hung up the phone next to him.

Isn't he an orphan?

Gwen was greatly confused.

at this time.

An agent in a suit and leather shoes with shiny hair came from not far away, saw Locke at a glance, and trotted over, full of smiles: "Mr. Broughton."

Locke looked at the intermediary who passed through the video, and shook hands: "Hello, Mr. Oren, sorry for your troubles."

The agent named Oren had a smile on his face: "No trouble, let's go up, Mr. Broughton."

Although Locke is a little young.

but…

Oren has verified the capital and confirmed that Locke is not the kind of boring high school student, but the kind with such economic strength, and even the desire to buy.

If this order is sold, the commission will be huge.

Locke looked at Gwen next to him: "Let's go."

Gwen recovered and nodded.

She felt that her cognition of the word "orphan" appeared to be a little off.

Twenty-eighth floor!

"Indoor area, UUkanshu 200 square meters, two floors up and down, duplex structure, the previous owner refitted a full set of "Stark Smart Home" system half a year ago, all furniture and electrical appliances are complete, as long as Signed today, can move in today, exactly what Mr Broughton said on the phone."

"…"

Locke put his schoolbag on the high-end sofa beside him, pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, and walked to the terrace with a private swimming pool.

Opposite is Central Park.

Gwen was standing in the living room, looking at the furniture and appliances in the house, and then, once again, felt very unscientific looking at Locke, who was standing on the terrace with his back to her, looking at the central apartment with his hands on his back. .

Are orphans already so arrogant these days?

good.

Here it is.

Locke looked at the triangular-shaped building not far away, and secretly said.

Originally, he was still a little hesitant, but for some unknown reason, after entering the Xingchen Building, it seemed that this hesitation disappeared.

Here it is.

Locke turned around, looked at Oren over there, took out a bank card from his arms, and handed it over: "Swipe the card!"

Oren's eyes lit up.

Gwen completely widened her mouth.

Really buy it.

Ding sound.

Gwen was completely confused with the consumption voucher that came out of the card machine.

Oren respectfully returned the bank card to Locke: "Okay, Mr. Broughton, I will prepare the change data as soon as I go back, and I will send the data to you three days later."

Locke nodded.

This brush completely squandered his savings from fighting for so many years in Texas.
