Chapter 40: The Ugly Country

Please read it, thank you.

※※※※※※※※※

In mid-July, Hua Twelve's team made great gains in the international crude oil futures market. They relied on 100 times leverage to short crude oil and made a lot of money. I won't go into details. Anyway, ordinary people can't spend it all in a few lifetimes.

The admission results for Yanda have also come to fruition. Chen Nian was on the list and was successfully admitted to the Chinese Department of Yanda. He received the admission notice a week later.

In order to celebrate Chen Nian's wish to be admitted to Yan'an University, Hua Twelve decided to take her on a trip abroad, and the destination was Los Angeles, the United States.

Okay, that's right, he set the destination of the trip in Los Angeles and went there just for those two people.

I heard that Hua Twelve was going to take Chen Nian on a trip abroad, and Zhou Lei had to follow him life and death, in the name of protecting his daughter.

Just when they saw her starting to make a list and calculating what to buy during this trip, Hua Twelve and Chen Nian found it hard to believe her words.

Since there was an extra light bulb, Hua Twelve simply brought the Dakang family with him.

There are only two father and son in the Dakang family. Speaking of which, something interesting happened in their family during this period.

Since Dakang and Hua Twelve made a fortune from stock trading, they asked his old man to give up his job as a taxi driver. They gave him 5,000 yuan as pocket money every month from the stock dividends, and let him play mahjong and drink every day.

Tea or something.

Dakang will be responsible for all other expenses, which is considered as filial piety to me in advance.

His father also made plans. After hearing Dakang say that Hehua Twelve made money by trading in the stock market, he thought of investing in the stock market. However, Dakang sternly refused, causing his father to scold his son for being unfilial several times.

As a result, the 5,000 yuan turned into 4,500 yuan in the second month. The old man finally stopped scolding him and kept saying that his son was filial, so Da Kang gave his father the 500 yuan to make up for it.

After receiving the invitation this time, Dakang and his son readily agreed. His father laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth and said to Hua Twelve:

"I have been running around and working hard all my life, and I have never been abroad. I can't do it on my own, so I borrowed it from you, my juniors. Xiaobei, I heard that you are doing very well in stocks...

"

Dakang hurriedly interjected: "Two thousand five thousand next month!"

His father immediately gave up the idea of ​​investing in stocks in a roundabout way, and changed his words with a smile: "Uncle doesn't understand stocks, so you just speculate..."

Hua Twelve chewed his cigarette and laughed hard.

By the time everyone's passports were processed, it was already the beginning of August, and there was still plenty of time before the start of school at Yan University, enough time to go abroad for a walk.

Hua Twelve and a group of five others got on the plane to Los Angeles.

International crude oil futures are making a lot of money every day, and Hua Twelve is not short of money. There is no need to wrong yourself and buy first-class tickets for five people.

On the plane, he and Chen Nian cuddled together to watch a movie. Zhou Lei was wearing a mask and she didn’t know if it was a fake. Anyway, according to her daughter, she was reluctant to throw away so many fake masks at home and planned to digest them slowly.

.

It was the first time for Dakang's father to fly on a plane, and it was also the first time to fly in first class. He and his son were tinkering with things here and there.

But it didn't take long before he ran over to chat with Zhou Lei, and even got a fake facial mask. The forty-year-old man actually put on a facial mask with Chen Nian's mother and watched a movie together.

Looking at his diligence, even his son Dakang could tell that the old man had impure intentions and probably wanted to make him and Chen Nian into brothers and sisters.

Chen Nian was somewhat reluctant, but Hua Twelve held him down and whispered: "Your mother didn't refuse, so why don't you allow middle-aged and elderly women to pursue happiness in their later years?"

An angry Chen Nian punched him: "What middle-aged and elderly woman? My mother is only thirty-nine!"

"Then your mother got you early enough. Is it puppy love? You are lagging behind compared to my aunt. You have to work harder. Why don't we go to Los Angeles and let the two of us..."

Chen Nian pinched him hard: "You still said that!"

After such a fuss, Chen Nian also felt that Hua Twelve was right, so he simply ignored it and leaned his head on the latter's shoulder to concentrate on watching the movie, out of sight and out of mind.

Dakang was in such a bad situation. He originally thought that he would go on a trip with his father and brothers. It would definitely be a pleasant trip. However, it turned out that everyone was showing off their dog food in pairs. Instead, he

He became a loner.

After eating the airplane meal, I simply asked the flight attendant for a blanket, covered it up, and fell asleep.

The plane landed at Los Angeles Airport, and several people picked up their luggage and walked out of the airport. Dakang's father was busy at this moment, being extremely attentive to Zhou Lei, which made Dakang roll his eyes aside.

Before going abroad, Hua Twelve booked a room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills online and paid a deposit, so the hotel sent dedicated staff to pick him up at the airport.

The staff included a driver and a translator. The translator was specially requested by Hua Twelve so that he would not have to demonstrate his level 4 English skills.

As soon as everyone left the airport, they were picked up by hotel staff in a Rolls-Royce and taken to the hotel.

In the following days, everyone went shopping in Los Angeles. It is worth mentioning that Hua Twelve was very worried about the security of the United States, so he used the chartered car service of the Four Seasons Hotel for all trips.

The drivers provided by the hotel are equipped with guns and can be used as bodyguards. If you pay extra tips, they can also help you carry your things while shopping. Of course, if you buy too much, just ask the merchant to deliver it directly to the hotel.

Apart from shopping, Hua Twelve also took the time to watch a basketball game. Unfortunately, it was the NBA offseason and he couldn't go to the Staples Center to watch the Lakers. He had to settle for the next best thing and watch a basketball game.

Look at the famous Drew League in later generations.

Accompanying him were Chen Nian and Dakang. As for Zhou Lei and Dakang's father, they both refused to go to watch the game together because they were not interested.

The Drew League is a professional and amateur mixed basketball league held in Los Angeles where professional players and non-professional players participate.

Hua Twelve did not expect that Kobe and Harden would play in this game. In this game, Kobe scored 45 points and Harden scored 44 points.

At the last moment, with the audience chanting "Kobe", Corvo completed a buzzer-beater against Harden's defense, allowing Harden to score 44 points, instantly igniting the audience.

Hua Twelve and Dakang also cheered loudly with the crowd. Even Chen Nian, who didn't know much about basketball, felt excited. This game made all three of them feel that their trip was worthwhile.

The three of them left the stadium and asked the driver to recommend a restaurant for them to have dinner. After the meal, while they were chatting about the previous game, Chen Nian received a call from his mother Zhou Lei.

Only then did the three of them realize that the two middle-aged men and women had hooked up to watch a movie together behind their backs, and then had a romantic candlelight dinner together.

If it weren't for the language barrier, I couldn't find my way back to the hotel after dinner, and had to call the three of them as a last resort. None of them would have known about the secret date between the two.

Dakang and Chen Nian both sighed: If you don’t stay with your parents when they are old, you will become enemies if you stay here and there!

When the driver picked up Dakang's father and Chen Nian's mother, these two people complained that they didn't want to trouble the juniors. In line with the principle of calling the police when they have difficulties, they wanted to call the police. But it turned out that this was not possible in the United States, and 110 could not be dialed.

.

Dakang expressed surprise at this. Is the United States so backward?

Hua Twelve and Chen Nianhao fell down laughing, asking where the United States got 110, these three mountain cannons!

The next day, everyone took the hotel's chartered bus to Hollywood for sightseeing. Zhou Lei and Dakang no longer cared about the presence of three juniors, and started spreading dog food hand in hand.

Is Hua Twelve afraid of this? He also held Chen Nian's little hand and said it to her.

Only Dakang followed the two pairs of dogs and men, drawing circles and cursing them, and muttered:

"It's just a good trip and fun. In the end, we almost became relatives!"

When they arrived at the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Chen Nian suggested taking a photo with the stars of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.

Under the guidance of the hotel driver, bodyguard, and guide, everyone first found Jackie Chan's star. They took photos in pairs. Zhou Lei and Dakang's father even made a loving gesture, which made the three juniors feel disgusted.

Hua Twelve took Chen Nian, and the two made a kiss face to face by borrowing seats, leaving a youthful group photo.

When it was Dakang's turn, this guy gave up on himself and borrowed a dog from somewhere. He held it and took photos, so he had a companion.

Just when everyone was about to leave, they suddenly heard someone behind them say in Chinese: "Chen Nian, it's really you!"
Chapter completed!
