Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 9 House Leakage Meets Continuous Rain

   Time goes back to the previous life.

  Ye Dongqing clearly remembered the day when she first met Zhao Liuli, there was a lot of snow in New York.

Snowflakes have covered Central Park, the spire of the Empire State Building has turned white, taxis are still struggling to maintain their operations, and the prices are much higher than usual. Come Christmas.

   It was on such an ordinary and special day that Ye Dongqing negotiated a big deal, worth as much as 25 million US dollars just by drawing, and planned to find a restaurant to celebrate alone.

  He didn't know how many people in the same industry in the United States made their fortunes by laundering money, but in New York alone, there were four to five hundred gangs, and Ye Dongqing's small team was just one of them, and the scale was not bad.

Every year, the scale of global black money is as high as trillions of dollars, of which 300 billion to 500 billion dollars will pass through American banks. Such a huge number is enough to support the members of the circle including him, and they are still living well .

  At that time, he was already very rich, with a total accumulated wealth of about 100 million US dollars, and he was less than thirty years old. He saw a girl squatting at the entrance of the restaurant, and walked into the restaurant without thinking.

After enjoying a meal for nearly two hours, when we left the restaurant, there was 20 centimeters of snow on the road. The girl I saw before was still there, probably because of the same skin color. He walked over and asked: " I saw you a long time ago, it's snowing so much, why don't you go home?"

  Zhao Liuli raised her head, under the wide hat, a pretty little face was flushed with cold, she smiled and told him: "My house is a bit far from here, I was planning to go shopping for clothes, but suddenly it snowed and trapped me.

  Sir, if possible, could you call me a taxi? It's usually fine, but now there's snow on the ground and I dare not walk. "

  It was then that Ye Dongqing realized that her eyesight was not good, and she asked in Chinese with a puzzled tone, "Blind?"

   "That's right, I can still see it when I was young.

   Later, I had an eye problem. The doctor told me that as long as I have money, the success rate of the cure is very high, so I am saving money recently. "

   The reflex arc in the head was relatively long, and it was only after I finished speaking that I realized that I was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that you are also Chinese, sir!"

   "..."

  Ye Dongqing, like most Wall Streeters, has a head full of money and a pitifully small conscience. Even so, he was still amused by Zhao Liuli that day.

  I could feel the rare innocence from this girl, and suddenly had the urge to help her, so I took off the lambskin gloves and scarf to Zhao Liuli, helped them put them on, and continued to speak:

   "Don't tell other people that you are saving money, New York is so messy, you will be bullied, people will do anything for money.

  Get up with me, I'll help you walk, and call a taxi for you on the side of the road, but the snow is so deep on the road, it's not easy to get a taxi. "

   "I squatted for so long, only you came to ask me, you must be a good person."

After Zhao Liuli said this, she struggled to take out a coin from her pocket, "There should be a subway. It's snowing up there, so it's okay down here. Where is the subway entrance? I came here by bus and got lost a long time ago. "

  Leaving her here, how can Ye Dongqing feel relieved, she has already been regarded as a good person, why not be a good person to the end, and said to Zhao Liuli dumbfoundingly: "I'll take you back, it's okay anyway..."

  Ye Dongqing, who hadn’t taken the subway for several years, just took the subway again and sent her home. The house was very small and dilapidated. It was cleaned up very clean and she drank a cup of green tea before leaving.

   I don't know why, but in the next two days, her appearance will often appear in my mind. It doesn't seem like love, but more like a simple character that has touched the string in his heart.

  It snowed several times in two days. I was worried that the other party did not store some food, so I went all the way to visit again, and bought some things on the way.

   After going back and forth, I just got to know her like this, and I tricked her into working as a housekeeper in my own home to help treat her eyes, which happened later.

   This is Ye Dongqing's adult life, one of the few good times in his life, running around in this intriguing society all day long, as long as he returns home and sees Zhao Liuli, his emotions will calm down.

  ************

  Running all the way to Queens, and standing at the door of the only Children's Relief Association, Ye Dongqing set off on her way home.

He had no reason to see Zhao Liuli. The other party didn't know him in this age. He thought about letting the little girl have a good life in advance, but he was only eighteen years old and didn't meet the requirements for adoption. Before he thought of a solution , Even meeting is useless.

  No matter what, at least I found someone, let go of a hanging stone in my heart, and the whole person feels a lot easier.

   The trouble was just beginning.

  When Ye Dongqing returned to the door of the apartment he rented, he accidentally found that the door was unlocked. He clearly remembered that it was locked before going out.

  After one o'clock in the afternoon, the corridor was empty, and there was harsh knocking music at the end, and soon a man ran out from the opposite door, knocking on the door desperately and yelling at something, without a word of cleanliness in his mouth.

   Living in this kind of place, the quality of the tenants is generally not that high. Ye Dongqing opened the door and found that her things were scattered on the ground. She couldn't help but sighed deeply, and had to think about the worst.

  After checking, he found that the money he had saved had disappeared, a total of more than 3,200 dollars, which he hid in the pocket of a coat. Not to mention the money, even his clothes disappeared.

  It is difficult for people to imagine what the gang of addicts who are addicted but have no money in their hands will do to buy "things".

   I don't know who stole the money, the amount is not much, but for Ye Dongqing now, it means that the next life will be very difficult. He only has more than one hundred dollars left in his pocket and has no income.

   I don’t bother to call the police. For such a small amount of theft, even if the police intervene, there will probably be no follow-up. What’s more, even if the criminal is found, it is hard to say whether the money can be returned.

   Mistake, Ye Dongqing regretted not hiding the money in a more secret place in advance, such as in the trash can, under the flowerpot, etc.

  It was too late now, the door lock was picked, so he used a chair to support it, lay on the bed and thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to start making money. He planned to wait until the end of the exam at the end of the month before trying to find a way.

It is very difficult for a living person to starve to death in the United States. He has not reached the point of desperation. It is impossible to work part-time. He does not think that his life is so cheap. The gram index has risen to 8,000 points.

  Finally, Ye Dongqing turned her gaze to the table, where books and papers were scattered.

  Finding that he was very unlucky, he lost his meal money before he made any money, and he regretted it - he shouldn't tip the taxi driver two dollars, let alone take a taxi back, the subway is so cheap...
