Wall Street Legend

As the core area of ​​the entire Manhattan Island, Ye Dongqing, a native New Yorker, has been there countless times. Both the transportation and the environment are much better than those on Wall Street.

He was very excited about Kanike's suggestion. The disadvantage was that the rent in the surrounding area was relatively high, making it unsuitable for ordinary employees to live, but it could attract more senior talents. The company's relocation was not a trivial matter and needed to be considered again.

I spent the next time walking around with the real estate agent, and saw a total of six office buildings with an area of ​​between 1,000 and 2,000 square meters. Some had luxurious city views, and some had low rents, including the 80th floor of the Empire State Building. This American landmark building is located in Midtown, but it has not been renovated for many years, and the property rights issues are in a mess, so it was directly crossed off the list by Ye Dongqing.

Finally, two targets were selected. One was the Trump Tower located on Wall Street, and the other was a new building called "Times Square 4" with a height of more than 340 meters. It is located in the famous Times Square, surrounded by They are all tourists from all over the world.

The former is more convenient, only a few hundred meters away from the current location, but the latter can rent billboards and advertise in Times Square for a long time. The office environment is also very comfortable and bright. At an altitude of more than 200 meters, there are no obstacles in all directions. Even if it is blocked, you can't hear the noise on the road.

There was no reply to the real estate agent for the time being, and he went to the hospital first after finishing the house viewing trip.

The ophthalmologist named Mike happened to be doing his rounds, and smiled when he saw Ye Dongqing: "You have been in the hospital for so long, are you tired of waiting?

Don't worry, I can help her remove the gauze now. If Laura hadn't insisted on waiting for you to come over to remove it, I would have been ready to remove it in the afternoon and give it a try. The wound has recovered and there are no signs of postoperative infection for the time being. It should be fine. Problem, there is no need to continue living there. "

In TV dramas, it is always shown that someone becomes blind and recovers after removing the gauze. In fact, after Zhao Liuli had his corneas replaced, he could already see something as early as two weeks ago, but it was very blurry.

It was removed again last week, and according to the girl, it was slightly better than before, so the doctor asked her to stay for another week.

Ms. Laura also secretly complained about this, saying that these hospitals were very shady, and even sending ambulances out to pick up patients would charge a large sum of money. She probably wanted to keep the girl to pocket the medical expenses.

After hearing this, Ye Dongqing just smiled and said nothing. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of the worst. It would be better to complete the post-operative recovery directly under the care of the doctor. At this moment, he said to Doctor Mike: "Is it really okay? Thank you, then please help. Take it apart, Grace, are you still awake?”

As the locals do, he is called "Liu Li" in private. It is better to call him by his English name when outsiders are present, otherwise the white people will be confused. They don't understand the Chinese meaning, but they just find it difficult to speak.

Zhao Liuli was lying on the bed. He sat up with his hands and said, "Yes, I didn't sleep. Otherwise, I can dismantle it myself. I know how to dismantle it."

"Let me help you." A young nurse said to her

In the blink of an eye.

Ye Dongqing has been back for more than two months, from the beginning of October to the end of December.

Zhao Liuli had been recuperating in the ward for almost a month. She noticed that the nurse was removing the gauze from her head in circles, and she felt excited and nervous. At her age, she already knew a lot of things, such as the possibility of seeing a doctor after the operation. Nothing is visible.

Dr. Mike quickly turned off the lights to avoid direct dazzling light. The eyes of the patient who had just undergone surgery were still very fragile and could not withstand too strong light exposure.

Ye Dongqing was also nervous. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the little girl. He had never had a child before, but now he suddenly felt a caring feeling like an old father. He was worried that after the operation failed, he would have to undergo another operation at a high cost. It's a small problem, but the key is that it requires a lot of trouble and is very troublesome.

As the gauze was removed, he quickly asked: "Open your eyes gently and try, can you see me?"

His hands were dangling in the air. There was light shining in from the doorway in the corridor. There was also a night view of the city outside. Things could be seen in the room.

When Zhao Liuli heard this familiar voice, he lowered his head and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the white sheets and his own hands. They were not very clear, but they could be seen.

Then he raised his head, looked at Ye Dongqing with a happy smile, squinted his eyes and nodded excitedly: "Okay!"

Dr. Mike had seen this kind of scene so many times that he was already used to it. Laura's joyful expression was written on her face. Every time Ye Dongqing was away, the two of them had whispered a lot.

After rubbing her head, Ye Dongqing turned to Laura and said: "Turn down the lights!"

"Don't do that, wait until your eyes adapt to the light before turning on the light. Now I will do a check-up first. If it can be done, I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I can leave the hospital tonight, because tomorrow I will go to Canada with my fiancée for medical treatment." Polar Bear, until then I’ll have the nurse prepare the discharge procedures.”

Dr. Mike showed Zhao Liuli a color atlas. Because her eyesight was still good when she was a child, she could accurately identify parrots, dogs and other animals, and she could also distinguish colors. This was very different from those who were born blind. the difference.

For people who are congenitally blind, their world has no concept of color, and color information has never been stored in the brain. Everything can only rely on imagination, which is monotonous and boring. It is difficult for normal people to understand their feelings. If it can be done Having a choice, even if you are deaf or unable to speak, it is better than being blind.

Zhao Liuli has been in this kind of world for a long time. Without Ye Dongqing's help, he might have been trapped in endless darkness for a long time, or even for a lifetime. Holding this album in his hand, he cried while looking at it. , because of joy.

Laura walked over and introduced herself again, and then hugged her. Ye Dongqing, a guy who lacked emotion, just laughed, and then asked Dr. Mike how to handle the discharge procedures.

*************

Just in time for Christmas, the girl can see again.

An operation, hospitalization, medicine, nursing and other expenses cost a total of more than 240,000 US dollars. Without medical insurance for her, Ye Dongqing had to pay for this cost herself.

How could he go home directly after leaving the hospital? He bought a pair of sunglasses for the girl to wear. Ye Dongqing and Laura accompanied her shopping, introducing various things along the way. Zhao Liuli just opened his eyes to see, not interested in anything. Full of curiosity, for example, the cute and cute Alaskan Malamute puppy on the roadside turned into a "fat dog" when it came to her mouth.

Buying clothes and visiting the library. Considering that she is already far behind her peers in academics, Ye Dongqing thinks it is necessary to find a tutor for her early next year, or directly send her to the best private elementary school in Manhattan. Let her live the life a normal girl should have.

At this time, Laura and Ye Dongqing were standing by the cashier, and Zhao Liuli was sitting there, holding a picture book in his hand, which he couldn't put down.

Laura looked back at the girl and suddenly said to Ye Dongqing: "You will definitely be a good father in the future, I know you must be.

Let me ask you a question. If you feel embarrassed, you don’t have to answer me. I want to ask, are you really his brother, his half-brother? "

"Of course. No, I only met her once. What's wrong with the poor little girl?"

"It's nothing, I just thought you would help someone for no reason, which surprised me." Laura told the truth.

Ye Dongqing knew that his character was flawed and he didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer. He rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I buy you clothes, a bag, or a house to live in? Did you spend money on the food you eat recently?"

Tortured from the soul, Laura was speechless. She just said that Ye Dongqing would be a good father, so wouldn't she be throwing herself into a pit?
