nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 12

But Tao Xi didn't care, apologizing or not apologizing was not important to him, only the delicious dollar bills were important.

The word apology only exists in the hypocritical high-level society~
Tao Xi glanced at the driver who deliberately exposed the flower arm and said nonchalantly, "No. 21 Street, Silver Lake Community."

The driver raised his head when he heard Tao Xi's words, and even glanced at Tao Xi in the rearview mirror.

Because the Silver Lake community is far away, the cost will be very expensive, and the Silver Lake community is a very famous middle-class white community in California.

It was called the Silver Lake community because it was built around a city reservoir.

Seeing the look in the driver's eyes, Tao Xi took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and threw it to the co-pilot, saying, "Don't look for it! If you dare to detour, I promise I will see you next time in the American-Australian community." Smash your car."

The driver was not afraid of Tao Xi's threat. Instead, he held up the dollar bill and smiled with satisfaction after seeing Franklin's gleaming head under the sun.

The ejection of a taxi and the heavy exhaust let Tao Xi know that he might have put on an act just now.

But there is no way, if the money has not turned into a check and entered his pocket, it is very easy for him to be robbed.

As an outsider, if you think that Los Angeles is all high-rise buildings, then you are wrong.High-rise buildings only exist in a small area in the center of Los Angeles, and some of the rest are four or five-story buildings.

If you go to some white communities or some places with a very beautiful environment, the houses there may only be three meters long including the attic.

Silver Lake Community is such a place~
Banks, parks, parking lots, shopping malls, these places are lined up and planned very well, unlike the US-Australia community where one hammer goes to the other and the other goes to the west~
And Tao Xi's destination is [United Bank] on 21st Street in the Silver Lake Community. Although the name of this bank is so impressive, the life of this bank in Los Angeles is not so easy.

On the one hand, it is because the headquarter of this bank is in Richmond, Virginia; on the other hand, it is because this bank is a well-known black bank in the United States!
Tao Xi, who is Asian, can only open an account of his own here under the guarantee of Mr. Williams because of black households, sewers and other factors!
That's right, a minor's account, because 【United Bank】is determined to serve every self-reliant minority.

Capitalists are pissed off!

Anyway, this is Tao Xi's opinion. After getting out of the car, Tao Xi heard the whistle of the driver behind him: "Hey, do I need to wait for you?"

"Hurry up and go back, I'll be picked up later!" Tao Xi yelled at the taxi driver angrily, and then walked into the 【Unified Bank】.

Tao Xi walked inside very skillfully, and first filled out a deposit slip with the help of a lobby manager.

"Sir, are you exchanging money? I remember you came here to exchange money last time."

Tao Xi looked up at the lobby manager seriously and grinned, "I made a fortune recently, and I'm here to make a deposit."

After Tao Xi said this, he ignored the lobby manager who had served him several times and walked towards the empty counter.

"Hi sir~"

"Save money, here is the tax record, here is the gift statement, here is the guardian's certificate, and here is my deposit slip."

Tao Xi nodded in satisfaction when he heard the "cracking" sound of the money counter inside the counter: "Open a check book for me, I think I might use it."

"Okay, sir~" The lady at the counter with flaming red lips winked at Tao Xi hard, although she was very jealous that the owner of this "illegal account" had such good luck to buy Lotto ticket to the fourth prize.

But she still wants to try to see if she can get the "recognition" of the little Asian boy who doesn't look very old.

But Tao Xi didn't pay attention to those. Instead, he took everything with a calm face and walked towards the door of [United Bank].

The lobby manager who sent Tao Xi away hurriedly walked to the counter to inquire about the customer's "source of assets". Without the certificates from Tao Xi just now, the bank would not be able to collect your money.

"A lucky guy who won the lottery ticket!"

"Oh my god, I'm going to try it today too~"

The streets of the Silver Lake community are clean and tidy, and there are not so many cars. Pedestrians cross the road leisurely. The surrounding area is surrounded by these two- to three-story huts, which are a bit similar to the old-fashioned residential areas of domestic universities.

Although it was not the first time for Tao Xi to come here, Tao Xi still liked the atmosphere here very much.

Some white people and ethnic minorities around will gather together to learn yoga and exercise with the teacher in the park. Not far away, a path leading to the top of the mountain is still paved with cement.

This is not seen in sewers and American-Australian communities at all. The surrounding communities look very novel, and the surrounding supporting facilities are quite complete.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Tao Xi, making Tao Xi feel the warmth of the street. The golden afterglow sprinkled the hills, very beautiful!
But Tao Xi quickly shook his head and kept telling himself in his heart: "Tao Xi! Tao Xi! You don't belong here, you still need to work hard, you still need to struggle, your current life is not enough for Hill tuition fee!"

Thinking of this sentence, Tao Xi's complexion turned dark at first, but soon Tao Xi had a smirk on his face. Just as Tao Xi's smile appeared, there was an old white lady who had been staring at him upstairs not far away. He quickly turned his head back home.

But Tao Xi didn't care about that, when a red three-story building appeared in front of him.

When Tao Xi stood in place and looked down at his clothes, there was nothing inappropriate about him, Tao Xi stroked his hair casually and then rang the doorbell~
Soon the sound of children running around at home "dongdongdong" could be heard in the house.

The iron door inside the anti-theft door was opened first, and a little girl with blond hair showed half of her face and looked cautiously. When the little girl saw that it was Tao Xi: "Wow! Brother Tao Xi! Mom, it's Tao Xi elder brother."

The little girl turned her head and yelled while opening the door and happily hugged Tao Xi who had bent over~
"Brother, are you here to see Brother Hill or me? My mother is very annoying recently, she always won't let me go to play with Brother Hill, saying that I have disturbed Brother Hill's study!"

"Haha, is that right? It seems that our little Xuerui has been acting bad lately~" Tao Xi smiled and hugged Mr. Williams' daughter Xuerui, whispering all kinds of whispers to the children.

Soon a graceful and luxurious-looking blonde woman came down.

The rose-colored nightdress made the woman's fair skin brighter, and the red lips and big wavy curly hair made this woman look very radiant.

"Mrs. Williams, hello, this is a gift I brought to Xue Rui, please return it to your servant."

Mrs. Williams' complexion was not very good, but after she saw the gift Tao Xi brought to Xue Rui, she still squeezed out a little smile.

"Oh, Tao Xi, you are very kind, you have recently"

"It's okay, I can take care of my affairs by myself. You and Mr. Williams have helped the three of us a lot, so don't worry about it." Tao Xi tried to make himself look relaxed, but the smell of perfume on Mrs. Williams Tao Xi couldn't help but look at her more femininely.

"Okay, Hill knows you're here, so he can't sit still upstairs anymore, you go and see him first, and I'll prepare dinner for you."

"Ah, no, no need, I'll just say something, and I'll be leaving soon." After placing Xue Rui, who was playing with the Barbie princess doll, in Mrs. Williams's arms, Tao Xi hurriedly waved her hand and refused.

Mrs. Williams just hugged Xiao Xuerui and looked at Tao Xi with a smile and did not speak.

The furnishings inside the house look very dilapidated, but in many places in the house, only the marks of the original placement can be seen, and those furniture or electrical appliances have disappeared.

On the second floor, Tao Xi saw Hill at a glance, but the current Hill looks very different from the state a month ago.

Fat, clean like a civilized person on the street!

"How is your study? Are you confident?" Tao Xi's first words were this when he entered the room, but Hill instead answered Tao Xi's various questions with a happy face.

Tao Xi roughly summed it up, that is, the teacher in the preparatory class liked him very much, and Mr. Williams also helped him buy a lot of books, but recently there were frequent quarrels in Mr. Williams' family, which made Hill, an outsider, very embarrassed.

Little Xuerui was just picked up by Mrs. Williams from her grandmother's house today~
Tao Xi secretly sighed in his heart: "It's all caused by money!"

Tao Xi looked at the brand-new alarm clock on Hill's desk and thought, Mr. Williams is also very kind to Hill, buying clothes and books for Hill~
If it were on Tao Xi, Tao Xi would be reluctant~
"Okay, I'm here this time to tell you about your tuition fees. If you have the confidence to be admitted to Harvard West Lake Middle School, I will leave the money to you. When the time comes, you will give it to Mr. Williams and ask him to help you. Pay, do you understand?"

When Hill first heard that his tuition was settled, he was happy.

But soon Hill's complexion became "囧" together like a piece of dough: "Brother Tao Xi. Are you going again?"

"You don't need to worry about it! I will handle my affairs by myself. From now on, I will regularly give Mr. Williams' family $1000 for living expenses every month. Among them, $500 will be given to you for social use, and the other $500 will be given to Mr. Williams. Mrs. Williams' custody fee, you must explain it clearly to them when I leave later, understand?"

"Tao Xige"

"Okay, I'm leaving, remember what others can give you, I can also give you, and my younger brother can't be worse than others, if I know that you dare to meddle in my affairs again, I will kill you broken leg." After saying this, Tao Xi turned around and left the house, but this time Tao Xi did not walk through the gate, but climbed out of the window in Hill's house~
Hill watched Taoxi skilfully jumping and jumping on the third floor of Mr. Williams's house and ran to the street, Hill waved to Taoxi walking on the street: "Brother Taoxi, I Will work hard."

Tao Xi, who was walking on the street, didn't look back but waved to Hill~
Hill sat in the room looking at the two checks in his hand with tears in his eyes.

One of the checks was $8600, and the other check was originally written with $1000, but it was smeared and invalidated by Tao Xi. The denomination of the rewritten check was $1500~
Mrs. Williams was standing in the kitchen, preoccupied with cooking, when suddenly the doorbell rang again, and two figures, one big and one small, appeared in the room.

Marco, who originally looked sloppy, was dressed in a waiter's costume, which made Marco, who was a little handsome himself, more energetic.

Mr. Williams' tall and tall white man made the originally dark home suddenly brighter, but this time Mr. Williams entered the house and did not see his daughter who welcomed him home every day. Come out and say "Huh~"

Marco, who was standing behind him, didn't move either, because he smelled a familiar smell.

Marko, who kept standing still and sniffing his nose, suddenly became happy and said, "It's Tao Xi! Tao Xi is here!"

Williams also looked happy when he heard Marco say that, but soon when he thought of his wife, a trace of gloom appeared on Williams' face, but Williams quickly covered it up.

But the delicate-minded Marco still saw it, but after Marco touched his pocket, Marco looked confidently in the direction of the kitchen.

Marco, who knew that Tao Xi was coming, didn't care about talking to Mr. Williams, but instead ran upstairs~!

Mr. Williams didn't care and walked towards the kitchen instead. Before Mr. Williams got close, he heard sobbing from the kitchen~
"Alas~" Williams walked behind his wife, hugged his wife gently, and whispered in her ear: "Honey, everything will pass, they are all my benefactors, if it weren't for them It's really hard for me to survive in prison without the help."

The sobbing Mrs. Williams did not stop the action of frying the steak in her hand: "I know, I am not unwilling to thank them, but the pressure recently is really too great, my father has also retired, Xue Rui I'm going to school soon, but we haven't got Xue Rui's tuition together yet!"

"Although I have lost a lot, I will try my best to win them all back. I was the general manager before, and I will be the general manager in the future. Believe me, dear~"

When Mrs. Williams heard her husband's safety, she lightly rubbed Williams' stomach with her back elbow and said, "There are outsiders at home~"

"Honey, I paid my salary today, shouldn't you reward me?"

"hate~"
