Dozo America
Chapter 54 Transactions
"Kristen, are you ready? I'm coming to pick you up now!" Johnny.
Baker called at ten o'clock in the morning and the banquet was already prepared.
Kristen didn't say anything. She had promised Johnny, and of course she would not break the promise because of Luke, no matter how dissatisfied she was with Johnny.
Not long after, Johnny came over. Like many playboys, he came in person in a luxury sports car. When he saw Christine wearing a white dress, which set off her exquisite figure, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"it's beautiful!"
Johnny opened the car door for Kristen himself, and then drove away. Sibella watched in the villa and secretly cursed Johnny for his pretense. Everyone knew that Johnny wanted to pick up Kristen.
But playboys usually only play with some female stars, and once they get tired of playing in bed, they will abandon them mercilessly.
Although Sibella is young, she has been in the industry for many years and sees these things very clearly. Female celebrities who love vanity usually cannot escape this cliché. But Kristen is different.
The lengthy banquet process, the luxurious villa banquet hall, and various celebrities from the political and entertainment circles walked around. Johnny's father, Old Baker, was a spirited old man, but in his sixties, he looked more like a four-year-old man.
A vigorous man of fifty.
Christine's mind was not on the banquet. Johnny was busy dealing with all kinds of people, walking around and teasing with many beauties, looking very romantic and uninhibited.
"You are...Kristen!" Suddenly a voice came from behind, causing Kristen, who was standing under the big oak tree, to turn around and then froze.
"Mr. Baker!"
Christine was a little at a loss. The person who came was today's owner, Mr. Baker. He was smiling and looking at Christine with interest.
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time!"
Kristine couldn't help but smile: "I'm sorry, I just... have no interest in this."
"Too noisy?" Old Baker smiled slightly and kept a certain distance from Christine, showing his good education. "Young people all like to be lively. I didn't expect you to be an exception!"
"I like a quieter place, so...sorry!" Christine apologized slightly. She respected Mr. Baker Sr. He was a legend in the film industry and was respected by many people.
"Do you mind if we chat?" Old Baker glanced at Christine.
"Okay, where?"
"Let's take a walk!" Old Baker suggested.
"As you wish!"
"This side is cleaner, let's go this way!" Old Baker pointed towards a tree-lined path. His garden is very large, and tree-lined paths like this are also relatively long and appear to be quieter.
"What do you think of Johnny?" Old Baker suddenly asked after the two of them walked a short distance away.
"What?" Christine obviously didn't expect Old Baker to ask this question, "I'm sorry, did you mean Johnny? I think... I don't know him very well yet!"
Old Baker nodded: "I know, many people know that he is a playboy. Children who grow up in rich families are always spoiled, and he is the same. But... I rarely see him willing to be a woman.
The child jumped out and fought for her to get a starring position. I know you are not short of such opportunities, but it is rare for him to do this!"
"You mean...he likes me?" Christine frowned, "Yes, I seem to feel the same now. He treats me differently from others. Maybe he has such thoughts!"
"Compared to those women he has been with, you can see his sincerity towards you. He really likes you!" Old Baker smiled, "You are indeed a beautiful woman. Not only beautiful, but also nothing else.
I appreciate a woman’s worldly thinking!”
Christine finally stopped and looked at Old Baker: "Mr. Baker, I don't understand why you said such things to me today? You know that I have no interest in Johnny. I promised him to come today, but
It's because of some...promises, that's it!"
"If...if I want to ask you to make friends with Johnny, as a real boyfriend and girlfriend, will you agree?" Old Baker finally stated his purpose, "I will fully support your development in the film industry.
, including Oscar! I can invest in any movie you like to make for you!"
"I'm sorry..." Christine felt a little confused, "What do you want to express? Is this a deal?"
"If you see this as a deal, then he is a deal!" Old Baker's conditions can easily impress most women, including those successful female stars.
"If that's the case, I can't do it!" Christine refused without hesitation.
"Don't refuse in a hurry, you have time to think about it!" Old Baker was not upset at all by Kristen's refusal. He was confident.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Baker, I feel a little uncomfortable. I have to go back. It's a pleasure to talk to you, Mr. Baker! Please tell Johnny to thank him for the invitation and your hospitality!"
Christine's tone became very cold.
"Hopefully our conversation today will remain a secret!"
Old Baker's voice came from behind.
"Don't worry!"
Christine suddenly felt a little disgusted with the smiling old man in front of her. This kind of person who could trade anything was really not worthy of respect.
On the way home, in order to avoid Johnny's entanglement, Kristen decided to return to Temecula. She always felt depressed and urgently wanted to talk to someone.
In this regard, there is no doubt that Zhen is a better candidate.
Zhen Fan had just finished acupuncture for a patient, a man in his thirties who had injured his cervical vertebra. Due to long-term office work, he had problems with his cervical vertebra. It was difficult to turn even a little and the pain was unbearable.
I had tried various therapies such as traction, acupuncture, and drugs before, but the doctor had already concluded that it would be difficult to improve. When Western medicine failed, the doctor recommended giving Chinese medicine a try.
Traditional Chinese medicine is generally the last hope after Western medicine treatment fails to produce results. It is an auxiliary therapy. Moreover, those who favor traditional Chinese medicine are generally white-collar workers, while fewer ordinary families choose traditional Chinese medicine because of medical insurance.
"How do you feel? Mr. Edward!" Zhen Fan asked him to try moving his neck.
The patient named Edward tried to move, but couldn't help but feel happy: "God, it feels good, I can move, it feels so good!"
"With a few more courses of treatment, you will fully recover. Of course, you must pay attention in the future. Proper neck exercise will help your health!" Zhen Fan sent Edward out of the treatment room.
"Thank you very much!" Edward shook hands with Zhen Fan.
"Please pay here!" Zhen Fan pointed to the front desk, and Edward hurried over and took out his wallet.
The bill is connected to the Internet. After Zhen Fan records it on the computer in the treatment room, it will be displayed at the front desk. Zoe looked at the bill: "The total is one hundred and fifty-six dollars. This is after deducting half of the medical insurance.
!”
"So expensive?" Edward stopped taking out his money clip.
"Sir, compared to the therapeutic effect, I don't think this is very expensive. On the contrary, it is already very cheap!" Zoe remained calm and looked at Edward with some fun.
"Should I complain that the state government does not fully include Chinese medicine treatment in medical insurance?" Edward finally paid for it, but he was a little bit complaining. In his opinion, the general fee of 80 US dollars for Chinese medicine is relatively high. He didn't expect this.
The fee is more than twice as expensive.
"I'm complaining too, sir!" Zhen Fan interrupted and said with a smile, "It's a pity that traditional Chinese medicine is not included in medical insurance!"
"You're right, damn bastard!" Edward looked at Zhen Fan's face and quickly added, "I mean those damn state legislators!"
"I scolded them like this too. When they set the drinking age at 21, I scolded them countless times when I was in high school!" Zoe added with a smile.
"Goodbye, Doctor Zhen, you make me admire your medical skills very much!" Before leaving, Edward shook hands with Zhen Fan warmly again.
Although I feel a little uncomfortable when paying the bill, money is money and friendship is friendship. Americans know the difference very clearly.
"Goodbye! I hope your complaints can be heard by the MPs!"
After sending Edward away, Zhen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. This morning was already his tenth patient. Word-of-mouth among patients made Zhen Fan's reputation improve quickly. Often one patient would bring a group of patients.
.
At this time Zhen Fan's cell phone rang.
"Hi, Zhen, it's me, Christine!"
"Christine?" Zhen Fan was stunned.
"Shouldn't I... call now?" Christine's voice hesitated.
Zhen Fan hurriedly smiled and said: "No, it's not. I just didn't expect it to be you. I planned to go to the police station to report a case today. Someone has been missing for a long time. But luckily you called, so I didn't have to go to the police station! Ha!
"
Zhen Fan made a joke.
Zoe rolled her eyes as she listened, then immersed herself in playing with her tablet.
"Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together. I'll reserve a seat in the restaurant!" Kristen said.
"Okay, tell me the place and time, and I'll be there on time!" Zhen Fan said.
"In Block 12, it's relatively close, and the restaurant is pretty good. Do you want me to pick you up at 7 o'clock?" Christine knew that Zhen Fan didn't have a car.
"Okay, why not?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhen Fan looked at Zoe, and Zoe also raised her head and looked at Zhen Fan.
"Kristen? Is that the vampire girlfriend?" Zoe looked at Zhen Fan playfully.
Zhen Fan shrugged: "Yes, a dinner!"
"Wow!"
Zoe whistled.
"Dinner, red wine, and then there will be a French wet kiss, and maybe something else... Go ahead, this is your chance, big stars can't date everyone!"
"Am I allowed to take it that you're jealous?"
Zhen Fan smiled.
"No, you can consider this a suggestion from a friend."
"Thank you!" Zhen Fan smiled, "I like this friend!" Then he took a deep look at Zoe, turned around and walked towards the office.
"Damn..." Zoe looked at Zhen Fan's back and couldn't help complaining, "Have you forgotten your old love when you have a new love? He seems to be such a bastard!"
But it seems that she has never admitted that she is Zhen Fan’s girlfriend!
