Manhattan Reborn 1978

The company's small building.

David was sitting in his office, listening to Ludy introduce the news delivered by Hardman.

"Anti-Fraud and Corrupt Organization Group Crime Law"!

He didn't know about this bill, let alone why, eight years after it was enacted, the police still couldn't do anything about New York's gangs. .

But he understood one thing.

New York State and New York City have now revised this bill, revised it, and implemented it, mainly targeting the gang problem in New York.

This is to put a bayonet on the rifle, it must see blood!

It seems that the politicians who have been doing nothing this time are going to get serious!

From David's memory, he knew that the gang problem in New York had not been completely resolved until decades later.

Organized gangs with a long history, as parasites that continue to suck blood and grow stronger in this country, cannot be completely exterminated just because of the implementation of a bill.

It will only change according to different times and transform into a new way of living that is more suitable for the current era.

Um. .

The Sidrich family needs to keep up with changes and change accordingly. In this regard, Malkin Sr. is still far-sighted and very prophetic.

"Ludy, what do you need from me?"

"No, Old Malkin and I both don't want you to get involved."

"Except for normal business matters, you have no relationship with the Sidrich family!"

David nodded and tapped his fingers on the table: "So...where is Polly? Will she be affected in any way?"

Lu Di thought about it carefully, shook his head and said: "Polly has never been directly involved in family affairs. Except for some core members, no one knows that she has been a strategist in the gang. Old Malkin will take care of these things." , you don’t have to worry about this!”

"Ah."

As long as Polly is fine, David doesn't have to worry about old Malkin. After all, this old guy has been in New York for many years without ever getting into trouble, not to mention that he has quit the gang now.

"What about the informant? Is there really an informant in the Sidrich family?"

Lu Di shook his head silently: "There must be no one among old Malkin and I. As for the others... they can only find it themselves."

David suddenly remembered a person: "Where is Alto now? How is he doing?"

"He is in the training base in New Jersey. I plan to wait for Cohen and the others to come back before letting him come out from there."

"You...he...forget it~!"

"Ludy, if there is anything I can do, you must tell me."

"The more we use favors, the deeper the connection will be. If we don't use them, it will make people feel alienated."

"Okay~!" Lu Di raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile.

Of course he knew this, so Lawrence had already gone to find Pine just now. .

"Okay, let's do this first."

"You'd better take a look around the company first. When Polly comes back later, we'll have a meeting together. Many new people have been recruited in the company these days. You should also show up and let everyone get to know each other. .”

"Oh? Have you hired new people? Okay!"

David sent Ludy out of the office and took a look at Ben Whitcott's desk outside. It was now empty and there was nothing on the desk. Ben Whitcott had been assigned more important recruitment work by Polly and now he has Not David's assistant anymore. .

"Tsk~ I have become a mascot that no one cares about again~ This feels really good~ Haha~"

David shook his head and danced a few times for his own entertainment. Now he finally understood what his father David once said. No matter what happens, face it calmly and find a way to solve it. .

Worry, impatience, timidity, procrastination, avoidance, giving in, turning a blind eye, covering one's ears, etc., are all useless emotions!

All problems and difficulties will not be weakened by people's negative emotions. Instead, these emotions will gradually amplify people's mental burden and diseases until they drive people crazy. .

David sat in his office chair and thought about life for a while. .

He decided to go downstairs and take a look.

When Lu Di and I went upstairs together just now, we had not carefully looked at the new layout of this small office building of Da Company.

David walked out of the office, and there was a small resting and waiting area separated from the corridor on the fifth floor connecting the stairs.

There is a set of sofas, a few chairs, and a small table with several bottles of Coke, tissues, a coffee pot, and several disposable paper cups. I don’t know who came up with this resting and waiting area. It looks very good. look like.

Black Mike and Giovanni were sitting on the sofa, holding newspapers in their hands, just like office workers, with a cup of coffee and a newspaper, chatting for a while with a few friends and colleagues, and another day passed. .

David walked up to them and glanced at the newspapers in their hands curiously: "How do you... feel? Where are Mike Bai and the Lavis people?"

Lavis put down the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "Mike Bai took Barlow to find Forrest Gump, and planned to let him come to the bar for a drink in the evening."

"Lavis went to the first floor, there... um... you'll know when you go and take a look~!"

Heimaika lowered the newspaper in his hand slightly, revealing a pair of big eyes: "Didn't you see it when you came in just now and passed by the first floor?"

David scratched his neck inexplicably: "What did you see?"

"Ha~!"

"Then you can go and take a look now~!"

"fxxx! Why do you both speak in such a tone that you deserve a beating!"

"Hey hey hey!~"

Black Mike and Ravis smiled unscrupulously.

David shook his head and gave Giovanni, who was closest to him, a kick: "Then I'll go down and take a spin first."

"If Harvey and Tangtang come to see me later, ask them to wait for me in my office!"

"Ok!"

David ignored these two unscrupulous fools and wandered down the stairs to the fourth floor.

The signs on the left hand side of this floor are all about the financial department under Andy, and the ones on the right are about the administrative department under Sally.

There was no one coming or going in the corridor, and from time to time there would be phone ringing in the corridor. I guess all the employees were working.

At the very back of the administrative department, there was a room with the sign "Shirley Studio" hanging on the door. The door was closed. David didn't know if Shirley had started design work now. .

Um. .

Maybe you can introduce her to Laura, maybe they will have something in common!

After viewing the fourth floor, David went down to the third floor.

The layout of the third floor is simpler, with domestic trading companies on one side and foreign trading companies on the other. .

Nothing to see!

David glanced around, put his hands in his pockets and walked downstairs.

Came to the second floor.

It is divided into one large conference room and four small conference rooms.

The door of the large conference room was open, and there was a large long table and several rows of chairs neatly arranged inside, but no one was there.

In two of the small conference rooms, people were having meetings.

David walked over slowly and took a look inside the two conference rooms from the small window.

In one room was Andy's subordinate Erwin, holding documents and talking to several people.

In the other room, Sally was talking to several people about the company's situation.

In Sally's conference room, there was a person who caught David's attention. He had an Asian face and was writing down the key points Sally said in a small notebook with a pen.

David observed him carefully for a while. Based on his past experience, this man should not be Chinese!

Um. .

Since he is not from China, there is no need to pay attention to him.

David shrugged, turned away from the small window, and strolled down to the first floor.

The layout of the first floor is that after walking in from the door, there is a lobby, with a service desk on the side near the door.

There are two young girls at the service desk who are busy doing something with their heads down.

There is a security guard opposite the service desk. Two security personnel from Da Security Company are standing there looking at a room on the side of the hall, pointing and chatting.

Um. .

Fishing security. .

No problem!

As long as you don't let people with psychopaths and guns into the company, then they are qualified security guards! ~

Several rooms were separated on both sides of the first floor.

There is a sign hanging on the door of each room.

There are affordable stores, construction companies, transportation companies, beverage factories, service companies, advertising companies, film and television companies, etc.

Are these the offices of various branches and group companies?

And this kind of operation?

David smacked his lips, put his hands in his pockets, and wandered around the hall to the doorways of various office rooms. Some had their doors open, some had their doors closed, but there were still people working in the rooms.

When passing by the service company's room, he saw Lavis sitting at a table inside, smiling and chatting with someone.

Since his position blocked David's view, David couldn't see who the guy was chatting with.

Out of curiosity, he smiled and waved to the security guard who came over, and walked into the service company's room.

The two people in the room heard footsteps and looked towards the door.

When Lavis saw that David was coming, he immediately winked at him and raised his eyebrows with a wicked smile on his face: "Ha~ David, you're too late! Come on, come here! I happen to have something to do, so I'll go out first. !”

As Lavis spoke, he walked away from the table, allowing David to see the person sitting behind the desk at a glance.

Mirala? !

Why is she here?

David's somewhat surprised eyes swirled back and forth between the smiling Miranla and Ravis's wretched face.

"You...Lavis, why is Miranla here?"

"Of course she was hired~! She is the best talent among the batch trained by the service company!"

"She went to work in the nightclub because our nightclub had just opened at that time and we were in urgent need of waiters, so she went to help!"

David stood there numbly, with a very strange expression on his face, which made Lavis spread his hands and said: "You and her chat first, I'll go out and take a look!"

After saying that, he ran outside and closed the door behind him. .

David turned his somewhat stiff neck and looked at Miranla, who had stood up and walked slowly to him.

Today, Milanla is wearing a work uniform with the logo of a service company, a white long-sleeved shirt, a brown-red vest, and black slim trousers that set off her legs that are straight together. The high heels on her feet make her taller than David. size. .

Her golden curly hair was neatly tied back into a ponytail, and she had a pair of beautiful big eyes and delicate facial features that looked like the black widow sister.

The youthful and gorgeous smile on her face made David feel that if this girl was born 30 years later and joined the entertainment industry, there would be countless people crying and clamoring to drink her bath water. . .

Miranla's face is very in line with American aesthetics, but her figure is not as exaggeratedly sexy and explosive as Joan Harris.

Her figure is more in line with the aesthetics of Eastern people. In addition, she gives people the feeling of first love, which makes people feel that she is more and less, and she has lost the perfect appearance she has now!

Ok. . .

But it was such a beauty who, in David's opinion, had almost perfect scores. After confessing her love to David in the nightclub, he felt even more unreal and weird!

He really doesn't know what it is about himself that can attract the beautiful Miranla so much?

Could she have other motives for approaching David so proactively?

David never believed that he, who only had a few thousand dollars in his pocket, could find such a lucky girl to express his love to him after a fooling around in a nightclub. . .

The kind that I have never thought of in my dreams~!

Therefore, he has always been a little alienated and wary of Miranla, who took the initiative to recommend himself as a pillow!

"Hi~! We... meet again~!"

Miranla suddenly flashed her big eyes and observed David quietly, the smile on her face getting thicker.

"Boss David, we passed each other when you were going upstairs just now. That was the second time we met."

"Now this is the third time we have met!"

"Um...were you there just now?"

"Okay, sorry! I was talking to Ludy about something at the time, so I didn't see you..."

"It's okay, I understand! So do you have time now? Can we have a chat?"

"That..." David looked at the room again and looked up and down at Miranla.

Miranla noticed his gaze, took a half step back, and straightened her chest, so that David could feel more comfortable and take a better look at her.

"Please sit down and I'll get you some coffee!"

"Uh... no, I'll just... sit down for a while!"

David thought that since he had already come, he might as well be calm~!He is a grown man, why are you so timid~!

He walked to the chair next to him and sat down, thanking Milan La for the coffee.

Miranla stood one meter away from David, clasping her hands lightly in front of her body, looking at David with a smile like a greeter.

The two began to stare at each other, and for a while the office fell into an inexplicable atmosphere.

David touched his nose, rubbed his hands, raised his head slightly and looked at Milan La with a forced smile and said, "How come you...are thinking about applying to join DA Company?"

Miranla chuckled and shook her head, not answering the question: "I just wanted to get closer to you. My thoughts and ideas were already made clear to you in the nightclub."

"Um... Well, I don't understand. Why would you choose me?"

"You have to know that in New York and the United States, there are many people who are better than me."

"I am not a successful person like you think. More than a month ago, I was just a bartender in a bar!~"

"Well, I know Wildfire Bar. I just asked Ravis about everything about you, and he told me everything!"

"fxxx! This fucking piece of shit bastard!"

"Oh, I'm sorry! This is not directed at you, don't mind!" David quickly apologized to Miranla for his outspoken words.

"It doesn't matter! I, and everything I own, will not hold anything back from you, and I will not keep any secrets from you."

"I also really like the real David Coleman now."

"So, if you have any questions, you can just ask them!"

"I will tell you everything!"

"What!?"

So direct~! ?

Milanla, did you grow up eating baguettes? !

This girl and this routine are okay! ~

"Cough~" David coughed lightly and continued to rub his hands, feeling a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Milanla, you know, you scare me a little..."

"I don't quite understand why you are so beautiful..."

Miranla smiled and narrowed her eyes. She tilted her head slightly and thought: "It should be my intuition! It makes me feel that you are the person I want to find!"

"Intuition? You have to know that in many cases, people's intuition is unreliable. You are still very young and at the age when you love to dream. Don't let your own impulse influence your rational judgment."

"I am not the person you are looking for!"

"No, you are! I know that, my intuition never misses it!"

"Um...didn't you miss it?"

"Yes! I haven't believed in my intuition since I was a child, but every time in the end, it is right!"

"So then I tried to believe it, and I found that the more I believed it, the more accurate it became!"

"To this day, when I'm 19, my instincts never fail!"

"You are the person I want to find. I will be by your side. It doesn't matter whether we get married or not!"

"I just want to be your lover, give you a few children, love you only for the rest of my life, and grow old with you until we die together."

"If you feel that my love is a burden, I can leave New York, go to my hometown or anywhere, find a small house, take our children, and wait quietly for you to come back."

"You just need to have dinner with me when you think of me, and hold my hand and walk together under the sunset on the street. Then I will be very satisfied!"

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

David felt like he was starting to have a headache!

He rubbed his forehead with his hand. What kind of persona was this girl playing?

Movies and TV series don’t dare to shoot like this, okay! ?

Aren't you afraid of being scolded to death?

Depend on!

He sighed helplessly: "Since you trust your intuition so much, in what ways can it help you?"

Milan stopped laughing. She wrinkled her little nose and tricked her little head a little: "Do you think I am a madman or a fool? Or have a mental problem?"

"No! I didn't say that!"

"But you think so! Don't you?"

"I...I didn't!"

Miranla looked at David seriously for a while and sighed softly: "Well, after I graduated from high school, the reason why I didn't go to college is because I am the fourth daughter in the family."

"My hometown is Tracy, Minnesota. My eldest sister and second sister are both studying in college. My third sister has also been admitted to college, but my parents can no longer afford her tuition."

"My third sister knew that the family was having financial difficulties, so she voluntarily gave up her plan to go to college and found a job as a waiter in a restaurant not far from home."

"My father lost his job when I was in my second year of high school. My mother was a housewife. My father had no choice but to sell everything he could at home and send a tuition fee to my eldest sister and second sister respectively. The money , it’s also the last money the family can give them.”

David frowned when he heard this: "So, it's not that you couldn't get into college, but that you came to New York to find a job because you didn't have money to go to college?"

"Then you should work harder, earn yourself a tuition fee, and go to college!"

"This way you can bring more hope to yourself and your family, right?"

Miranla shook her head slightly: "No, you misunderstood me."

"My third sister and family all hope that I can go to college with a scholarship from Columbia."

"But I don't want to bring more pressure and burden to my family."

"You got a scholarship to Columbia University? Then why don't you go?"

For the first time, something strange appeared in Miranla's eyes. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at David: "In New York, the scholarship from Columbia University can only guarantee that I will have no worries about tuition fees, but my living expenses can only be paid by myself." Make time and work part-time to earn money, or rely on my family to help me.”

"Do you know how much my living expenses are for a month in New York? How much can a college student like me with no work experience earn working part-time for a month?"

"My one month's living expenses in New York are enough for my parents and third sister to live a prosperous life in my hometown of Tracy for one month."

"Now, my mother has left the house to do odd jobs for other people. My father is also doing part-time jobs. My third sister's income may be more."

"But these are no excuses for me to ignore their hardships and enjoy my college life happily!"

David choked and fell silent.

In his entire life, he never knew that the living standards in Tracy were so different from those in New York.

But he can understand why this gap arises.

New York is the richest city in the United States, bar none!

In this world-renowned capital of wealth, with high income, high consumption, and more opportunities, it is a dream destination for many young people.

At the same time, it also has more temptations, more traps that lead people to fall, and more dangers that make people unable to save themselves.

This is New York.

As for living expenses?

This is just one of the many problems and difficulties that Milanla will face when she comes to New York from a small city.

"Milanla, I'm sorry! I..."

"It's okay! I understand!"

"If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer you completely and without reservation!"

this. . .

Something made David feel. .Sit on the wax~!

Like sitting on pins and needles!

He took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and thought for a moment: "Then have you ever thought about going to college? I can help you. You don't have to worry about all the expenses. As long as you can graduate smoothly, I promise! You can still do it. Join da company."

"what do you think?"

What David is thinking about right now is to send this charming little goblin away quickly and stay far away from him!

Never seeing each other again would be the best!

Miranla pursed her lips and shook her head slightly: "Do you know why I trust my intuition?"

"Uh...why?"

"Because it can help me make choices, it can let me see different things... that's it."

"Oh? Why is it different? Do you see something in me?"

Miranla nodded slightly: "Everyone is different in my intuition!"

"I have never told anyone about this matter. I am afraid that someone will capture me and take me back to be sliced ​​and studied~"

"Um...do you have super powers? Do you have special abilities?"

"I... don't think it's a special function! I'm just an ordinary person!"

"It just helps me make a choice, like it did when I first laid eyes on you."

"The first time? Was it the time in the nightclub?"

"Well, you were in the center of the crowd, sitting behind a small table, telling everyone present something. I saw something... different in you."

"Something? Do I have something on me?"

David felt like he was sweating a little!

Milanla raised her head slightly, tapped her chin with her finger and thought for a while: "It seems that there should be something different from others... light?!"

"Maybe~! I can't explain this feeling~!"

Light?

Miranla also said that she has no special powers?

Does she have glaucoma?

David felt like he almost couldn't lift his breath!

Something inexplicable. .Light? !

What the hell is that? !

You are too ridiculous! ?
