Reborn 2005: The Internet Myth
Chapter 66
Time has come to the end of November in a blink of an eye, and tomorrow is this year’s Thanksgiving Day.
This is one of the most important holidays in the American League and there is a national holiday.
Just like the Spring Festival, no matter how busy people are, they will put down their work, go home, reunite with their families, and enjoy a sumptuous holiday dinner together.
Phil International is no exception. It has already taken off in the afternoon, so that employees from other states can go home early.
As for work, most work can now be done remotely through collaborative office and cloud services, which does not delay normal operation and maintenance tasks.
Walking alone on the streets of Menlo Park, feeling the atmosphere of the approaching festival, Wang Zheng once again felt out of place.
He is not religious, so Thanksgiving is completely irrelevant to him.
Although Sheryl and Jeff both extended invitations to him and asked him to go to their homes for a holiday dinner tomorrow, Wang Zheng refused.
He didn't want to disturb the family's happy gathering time during the festival.
I wandered around and bought some ingredients. When I returned to the villa on Silver Crystal Road, I found a purple Ferrari convertible parked at the door.
Wang Zheng, who was not interested in sports cars, did not recognize the model number, but he knew the owner, Gabriel Russell.
Walking into the small courtyard, as expected, Gabriel was sitting on the swing chair and swinging slowly.
The temperature in California in November is not very high, less than 10 degrees.
This girl is wearing a white short dress and black stockings, she is really cold.
When she heard someone coming in, she turned around and saw that it was Wang Zheng. She showed a bright smile, stood up, took the big bag from Wang Zheng's hand, and said with a smile: "I've been waiting for you for more than an hour."
Wang Zheng shrugged and asked as he opened the door: "Why don't you go home? Wouldn't Dickens have any objections?"
Speaking of his father, Gabriel also curled his lips: "He may not be at his girlfriend's house at the moment."
Wang Zheng shook his head slightly, the American League's concept in this regard is really...
Forget it, no comment.
In fact, since the two of them spent one night together more than half a month ago, they really haven't had much contact with each other in the past half month.
Wang Zheng was busy with the WeChat streaming business during this period and did not go to QuickPass at all.
Unexpectedly, the company just had a holiday and this girl came directly to the door.
Although Wang Zheng was a little surprised by this, he did not refuse. Gabriel is of mixed race, French and Chinese, and his appearance and figure are basically at the ceiling level.
He's not really at a disadvantage.
After entering the house, the two of them packed up the purchased ingredients. Gabriel asked strangely: "You didn't buy turkey and pumpkin pie?"
Turkey, pumpkin pie and other foods are a regular part of Thanksgiving, and every household prepares them. People like Wang Zheng who deliberately don't buy them are considered a maverick.
But he had already prepared his words. After all, Justin Fehr grew up in New Zealand.
New Zealand doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving.
But hearing what she meant, she didn’t plan to leave? She immediately asked, “Are you planning to spend the festival here?”
Gabriel shook his head, watched Wang Zheng lick his lips gently, and said with a charming smile: "I'm not here to celebrate, but on vacation."
Okay, this girl...
Wang Zheng put the last thing in his hand into the refrigerator, pinched Gabriel's waist with both hands, and placed her on the dining table next to the woman's exclamation.
The dining table is 78 centimeters high. Considering Wang Zheng’s height, this height is just right.
The battle lasted for more than half an hour. The situation was very tense and neither side could do anything to the other.
As the night gradually fell, we had to withdraw our troops temporarily and made an appointment to fight again after dinner.
I'm a little tired, so I won't cook Chinese vegetables for dinner.
Wang Zheng simply fried two steaks, Gabriel made a fruit and vegetable salad, and opened a bottle of red wine. The two of them chatted and ate, and those who didn't know it thought they were a family.
If Gabriel could be more careful with his feet and stop rubbing them under the table while eating, maybe it would be more like this.
"Justin, I don't think I've heard you mention your family?"
"I went to New Zealand with my parents. They died when I was sixteen. I have lived alone these years."
"Sorry. I don't know..."
"It's okay. What about you? I heard from Jeff that you and Dickens are quite mysterious."
"That bastard Jeff will never say a nice word about me." Gabriel smiled and shook his head, but then sighed and said: "Actually, there are no secrets between the Russell family and Sutong Capital. Our family is just in charge of a company.
It’s nothing more than filthy riches.”
Wang Zheng noticed that Gabriel used the adjective "dirty" and immediately had some guesses in his mind.
Gabriel also noticed his expression and asked with an exaggerated smile: "Justin, what did you think of?"
"Probably a military-industrial complex, a secret political organization or something like that."
After hearing Wang Zheng's guess, Gabriel laughed even more exaggeratedly, leaning forward and back, almost crying.
After laughing for a while, she controlled herself and gradually calmed down, saying: "Justin, you are so cute. I guess you must be thinking of legendary organizations such as Freemasonry and Skull and Bones."
Wang Zhengyi raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not. Strictly speaking, they are completely irrelevant." Gabriel's laughter finally calmed down and he said: "Justin, in fact, the Russell family and the Rothschild family are similar. They are both powerful families that originated in Europe.
In the 18th century, branches of the family came to America to develop."
"The difference is that Rothschild's development direction is finance, but the Russell family is engaged in ocean trading."
Wang Zheng suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Gabriel said he was in charge of a "dirty" fortune.
Going back to the 18th century, making money from ocean trading can indeed be called dirty.
Slaves and tablets are among the most profitable goods in ocean trade.
At this stage, the most injured area is Daxia.
Gabriel continued: "Our ancestors made a lot of dirty money by relying on the slave and tablet trade, and it was not until after World War II that this bloody trade stopped due to the decline of the Russell family due to the Great Purge."
"So starting with my grandfather, the Russell family has been paying a debt for the harm they have done to the world."
"Pay off the debt?" Wang Zheng found it quite strange to hear such a statement from a Midland man.
Gabriel nodded seriously and said: "This is what my mother said. She is a Chinese-French hybrid, a war orphan, and grew up in Daxia. She said that good and evil will be rewarded. If you do something evil, if you don't do it,
Good deeds will be rewarded."
…
Wang Zheng was completely speechless. An authentic Midland man actually believed that "good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded." This mother's education was really successful.
But having said that, Sutong Capital calls their method of investing in debt repayment?
Gabriel quickly explained Wang Zheng's question, saying: "The dirty money left by our ancestors no longer belongs to us. My grandfather has returned it all to Africa, Daxia and other countries. However, due to various reasons,
These funds remain in the American League and are managed by my father."
“The reason why my father and I joined QuickPass is because we saw the hope of completely returning the funds in QuickPass.”
"Justin, will you help us?"
Looking at Gabriel's hopeful eyes, Wang Zheng believed about 50%.
As for help?
He shook the wine glass gently: "Gabriel, this is a big project. Let's go upstairs and discuss it in detail?"
