Manhattan Reborn 1978

David's house.

He and Martin were chatting when a girl's laughter and voice came from the door.

They were two sisters who went to school and came back from school.

Little sister Loisa, who was gradually becoming lively, pulled her sister Salonia who was following behind.

As soon as they opened the door, they saw the two people sitting in the living room: "Brother David, are you back already?"

David stood up quickly and waved to the two sisters: "Come, come and sit down. I'll introduce you to Professor Martin."

Loisa nodded happily and was about to step forward.

Her sister Salonia grabbed her schoolbag from behind: "Hello, Professor Martin! Are you talking to brother David about something? We just came back from school and went upstairs first."

Loisa heard her sister's words and said to David sensibly: "Brother David, let's go upstairs to put our schoolbags first. Nice to see you, Professor Martin!"

After Martin smiled and greeted the two little girls, they went upstairs.

Seeing that it was getting late, he undoubtedly stayed for dinner, so he stood up to say goodbye to David and left, leaving his contact number.

David and Sierra walked him to the door and watched him get into the car and disappear around the corner of the street.

Sierra pulled David and asked about Martin.

David briefly introduced it to his mother.

After more than an hour.

The family sat neatly at the dining table on the first floor.

Everyone listened to their sister Loisa talking about the interesting things that happened in school today.

It turns out that because of her crooked teeth, she was teased by her classmates again today, and she was worried.

Old David and his wife took this matter as a joke among their children.

David didn't think so.

These children on campus who have just entered adolescence have become very sensitive mentally as they grow older.

If someone has some outstanding characteristics or has any flaws in appearance, they will be ridiculed and given nicknames by their classmates.

Don't ask David how he knew.

No matter in his past life or in this life, he has been nicknamed by his classmates.

It's a nickname from a previous life. . .

Rolling thunder Ge Kun!

Have you heard of it?

Are you domineering?

The nicknames in this life gave David even more headaches. .

Dumb!

Depend on!

And Agua!

Today, Loisa got the nickname "Loy with Crooked Tooth"!

The little girl became more and more sad as she talked, feeling that she might wet her pillow tonight.

Sera smiled and comforted him.

David chewed the steak in his mouth: "Loisa, how about we go find a clinic for you tomorrow and make a brace to correct it."

Loisa sobbed and wiped her tears with her little hands: "No, I don't want it! In that case... wouldn't I become Loy with braces?"

"Puff hahaha~"

Several people eating could not help laughing.

Black Mike laughed especially loudly. He patted his thigh and said to Loisa: "It doesn't matter. If anyone dares to call you a nickname, you can tell me my name. I will send you to school tomorrow morning~ah haha~~"

There were still tears on little Loisa's eyelashes. Listening to the laughter of her family, she also laughed.

David looked at this crying and laughing sister with smiling eyes. This Loisa is really smart!

The more time he spent with the two sisters, the more he discovered what they brought to the family.

Joy and popularity!

It turns out that when David Sr. and Sierra were alone at home, the two of them might not be able to speak more than a few words a day.

Now that they are here, this family is lively again.

Finally, with the comfort and comfort of everyone, little Loisa agreed to take leave from school tomorrow and go to the dental clinic for orthodontic treatment.

The atmosphere of joy lasted until the end of the dinner.

The sky has completely darkened.

David wanted to help clear the dining table, but Sierra's mother told him not to do anything wrong and go to the living room to watch TV.

Old David patted his belly and wandered to the backyard to look for tools to take to the factory tomorrow.

Black Mike accompanied David to the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and started watching the news channel.

The program on the TV was the evening news broadcast from CBS.

David watched for a while and felt a little bored.

The news had little nutritional value. When he was about to change the channel, the male host with a good broadcasting style broadcast a piece of news.

“A few days ago, the House of Lords in Washington passed President Warren White’s proposal to temporarily increase the amount of relief benefits.”

"So how is the implementation progress in each state now? Can this temporary relief fund change the current economic predicament? We have now invited an authoritative expert in economics, Professor Bellusso Neville from Harvard Business School. . Let me answer it for you.”

The TV broadcast showed an old white man with some gray hair.

"Hello everyone, I'm Neville. Regarding the temporary increase in relief funds passed by Washington..."

David looked at the explanations and analyzes of the two people on the news. This time it was really the government that was going to send money to the people!

One thing was certain in my mind.

He doesn't know whether President White's proposal can solve the current sluggish market environment.

He only knows that here in New York, if people can get so much relief money from the government at once, they will stop working and enjoy it first!

Being comfortable for a while, just for a while, is what people on the dole in New York really think.

I don’t know how much of this money will flow into the wallets of drug dealers who are smuggling drugs.

Um. .

Franchise areas should also be able to follow the implementation of this proposal and make a lot of money!

In this way, David's prophecy when he discussed the company's plan at old Malkin's house really came true today!

So, what about the other big event happening this year?

"Bell bell~"

Just when David was lost in thought, the phone next to him rang.

He picked up the phone and heard it was Polly!

"David, that boy you sent to find Jenny, Bert called! He found the person you were looking for!"

"Oh? Where did he find it? What's going on now? Did you let him continue to stare at people?"

Pochi said angrily: "You bastard, I'm just responsible for informing you, xxxxxx, this is the phone number, you can ask him yourself!"

After saying that, with a bang, Polly hung up the phone hard!

Forehead. . .

David looked at the receiver in his hand and wondered what brand of gunpowder this eldest sister had taken at night. Why was she so angry?

He recalled the number he had just heard and tried to dial it.

After a few rings, the call was connected.

"Burt? I'm David."

"Hi, Boss David! I'm Bert, and I found Jenny. I'm downstairs in her rented apartment, staring at her window!"

Two minutes later, Bert recounted his experiences over the past few days.

"Okay, Bert, just keep an eye on Jenny for now. Don't let her find out, and don't have to come into contact with her."

"By the way, have you contacted Lawrence? He also went to Savannah to find you and Jenny!"

"Lawrence? No, I've been looking for someone these days. Even if Lawrence comes, he can't find me."

"Okay, then just wait for my call first. I'll make arrangements to call you later."

"Ok!"

David hung up the phone and called Forrest and Barlow's hotel phone number.

Fortunately, both of them are in the hotel today.

When David told A-Gump that Jenny was found and pregnant, he stood up directly.

A-Gump held the phone and asked carefully: "David, have you really found Jenny? Is he in Jacksonville?"

"Yes A-Gump, you know she is so hard to find. It took me some time to find her."

"Have you thought about what you're going to say when you meet her?"

A-Gump said seriously: "I will propose to her David, and I will marry her!"

"Marry her? Maybe now is not the time, Forrest Gump!"

"Man, you have to know that it's because of your love that she avoids you."

"We don't know if she will still choose to escape now that you appear directly in front of her."

"How about I ask Barlow to accompany you to her side, watch her from a distance, and then find a suitable opportunity. When the child in her belly is older, you will appear in front of her again."

"Maybe she will choose to agree to your proposal because of the child."

When David said this, he paused and then said: "Or I can find someone to arrange an excuse to invite her to New York, so that I can think of more ways to help you!"

"Forrest Gump, you choose one, I will support you!"

"Okay, please let me think about David!"

"Okay, when you think about it, call me and tell me. If I'm not here, just tell my family or Polly."

"Thank you David!"

The two hung up the phone.

David sighed, Forrest Gump was still the same Forrest Gump, and he estimated that it would never change in this life.

What about Jenny?

Will she choose to agree to Forrest Gump because of her pregnancy and child?

David recalled the plot between the two of them in the movie. At this time, Forrest Gump was probably conquering roads all over the United States.

From south to north, from east to west, he was followed by a group of people who were confused about life and the future.

None of them knew why A-Gump was running. They all felt that A-Gump must be doing this for some reason.

This other stupid boy does nothing.

As he himself said in a TV interview, he just wanted to run.

What Forrest Gump didn't say was that he wanted to use this method to resolve the departure of the two people he loved most.

Mom and Jenny!

Black Mike glanced at David's status and used the remote control in his hand to change to another news channel.

David was distracted and was attracted back by the news content on TV.

"As you can see, in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta, Orlando, Memphis, and Denver, people spontaneously took to the streets to start parades and celebrations. They chanted in support of Warren White. The President’s proposal.”

“According to incomplete statistics from our TV station, President White’s approval rating has increased by 13% in just the past two days since Congress passed this bill!”

“We don’t know whether this decision by Congress is correct. Economists are unanimously not optimistic about this proposal. They think this will be the most failed proposal proposed during this presidential term!

It will not only increase the inflation rate, but also make people who work hard lose their enthusiasm for work! "

The scene turned and the camera cut back to the studio where the host was located.

The male host looked at the manuscript in his hand with a surprised look on his face: "Friends, I just got the latest news. The California government and the New York state government took the lead in issuing announcements."

“Both states will implement this proposal before the end of this month and release the increased benefit amount according to the list.”

"Let's look at the specific amount, California is paying $532 per month."

"New York State is disbursing $558 per month."

The male host couldn't help but marvel, and he carefully looked through the manuscript in his hand: "I can tell you with certainty that I read the amount correctly."

"However, the payment amounts announced by these two states indicate that these are the payment standards of New York City and Los Angeles City."

"We don't know yet whether other cities in these two states will distribute according to this amount."

"Everyone knows that these two cities, one in the east and one in the west, are the most important economic center cities in the United States."

“It’s very expensive for people to live in these two cities.

Perhaps the state government set the amount so high because of this reason.

As for whether other cities will implement such high payment amounts?We will continue to follow up on this matter. "

"Okay, let's look at the next news..."

David leaned on the sofa and finished reading the news.

$558 in New York!

The graduates from Princeton University whom David recruited only received a weekly salary of about $200.

This big money-spending trick by the congressmen is really... . .

You must know that the apartment David rented was fully equipped, well decorated, and in a good location, and it cost about 400 dollars a month.

David himself spends 200-300 dollars to eat and drink alone, including going to bars a few times a week to hang out. Adding these together, the monthly income is barely 700 dollars.

This time the New York State government, a big tycoon, is really going to bleed a lot!

He was thinking whether the affordable store could take advantage of this opportunity to speed up its opening and make a fortune, so that it could continue to develop more steadily.

"Ringling~"

The phone rang. Has Forrest Gump figured it out?

David picked up the phone and heard that it was Pine.

"David?"

"Yes Pine, what's wrong?"

David motioned to Black Mike and asked him to turn down the volume on the TV.

"Haha~ Should I call you Prophet David? Have you seen the news that Congress passed the presidential proposal?"

"Well, I just finished reading it. This matter has been in the news a few days ago, right?"

"That's right, I'm calling this time because of another news!"

"Oh? What is it?"

Pine chuckled over the phone: "Someone in Congress has proposed a proposal to lift investment restrictions on pension funds, and it will be voted on next Tuesday."

When David heard this, he sat up straight. He had just predicted in the nightclub a few days ago that Congress might lift this restriction within two years.

As a result, it has only been less than a week and the voting is about to begin?

"Pine, will it pass?"

"From what I've heard, it should be fine! You guessed it right again, man!"

"David, I'm looking forward to our futures investment at the end of the year. I wonder if you can still guess it right?"

Is he testing something?

"Pine, where are you? In the office?"

really!

this kid!

Pine looked at Old Morgan and Giles beside him: "No, Giles and I went back to Boston together. We are at home."

Home in Boston?

Old Morgan with Pine?

"Oh? Are you on the speakerphone? Is Uncle Morgan with you too?"

Old Morgan smiled and put down the coffee in his hand: "Look, I said that David will definitely guess it!"

Giles and Pine nodded in agreement with a smile.

"David, if you have time now, let's talk!"

coming! ~
