Chapter 12(1/2)
But Tao Xi doesn't care. Apologizing or not apologizing is not important to him. Only the fragrant dollar bills are important.
The word apology only exists among those hypocritical high-level society~
Tao Xi glanced at the driver who had his arms exposed and said nonchalantly: "Street 21, Yinhu Community."
When the driver heard Tao Xi's words, he raised his head and glanced at Tao Xi in the rearview mirror.
Because the Silver Lake community is far away, the cost will be very expensive, and the Silver Lake community is a very famous middle-class white community in California.
Because it was built around a city reservoir, it was called Silver Lake Community.
Tao Xi saw the driver's look, took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket, threw it to the co-pilot and said, "No need to look for it! If you dare to take a detour, I promise that I will definitely see you next time in the American-Australian community."
Smash your car."
The driver was not afraid of Tao Xi's threat. Instead, he raised the dollar bill and smiled with satisfaction after seeing Franklin's gleaming head under the sun.
A taxi ejected and heavy exhaust fumes made Tao Xi know that he might have been faking it just now.
But there is no way, if the money does not turn into a check and goes into his pocket, it will be very easy for him to be robbed.
As an outsider, if you think that Los Angeles is all high-rise buildings, you are wrong. High-rise buildings only exist in a small area in downtown Los Angeles, and the rest of the places are four or five stories high.
If you go to some white communities or some places with very beautiful environment, the houses there may only be three meters tall including the attic.
Silver Lake Community is such a place~
Banks, parks, parking lots, shopping malls, these places are arranged in rows and are well planned. They are not like the American and Australian communities that have a hammer in the east and a stick in the west~
Tao Xi's destination is the Uni-President Bank on Street 21 in the Silver Lake community. Although this bank has such a grand name, life in Los Angeles is not that easy for this bank.
On the one hand, this is because this bank is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and on the other hand, it is because this bank is a well-known black bank in the United States!
As an Asian, Tao Xi could only open an account of his own here with the guarantee of Mr. Williams due to factors such as illegal accounts and sewers!
That's right, a minor account, because [United Bank] is determined to serve every self-reliant minority.
Capitalists are all evil!
Anyway, this was Tao Xi's opinion. After getting out of the car, Tao Xi heard the driver's whistle behind him: "Hey, do you need me to wait for you?"
"Go back quickly, I'll be escorted by someone soon!" Tao Xi cursed at the taxi driver angrily and walked into the Uni-President Bank.
Tao Xi walked inside very skillfully, and first filled out a deposit slip with the help of a lobby manager.
"Sir, are you exchanging money? I remember you came here to change money last time."
Tao Xi raised his head and took a serious look at the lobby manager, grinning and saying, "I made a fortune recently, and I'm here to make a deposit."
After Tao Xi said this, he ignored the lobby manager who had served him several times and walked towards the empty counter.
"Hello, sir~"
"To save money, here is the tax record, here is the gift statement, here is the guardianship certificate, and here is my deposit slip."
Tao Xi nodded with satisfaction when he heard the sound of the money counter inside the counter counting money: "Open a checkbook for me, I think I might use it."
"Okay, sir~" The lady at the counter with flaming red lips winked at Tao Xi hard, although she was very jealous that the owner of this "illegal account" was so lucky to be able to buy
Winning the fourth prize in Lotto.
But she still wanted to try to see if she could get the "approval" of the little Asian boy who didn't look very old.
But Tao Xi didn't pay attention to that. Instead, he calmly took everything and walked towards the door of [Unified Bank].
The lobby manager who saw off Tao Xi hurriedly walked to the counter to inquire about the customer's "source of assets." Without the certificates Tao Xi had just given, the bank would not have been able to collect your money.
"A lucky guy who won the Lotto ticket!"
"Oh, my god, I'm going to try it today too~"
The streets of Silver Lake Community are clean and tidy, and there are not that many cars. Pedestrians cross the roads leisurely. The surrounding areas are surrounded by two- to three-story huts, which are somewhat similar to the old-fashioned residential areas of domestic universities.
Although this is not the first time for Tao Xi to come here, Tao Xi still likes the atmosphere here very much.
Some surrounding white people and ethnic minorities will gather together to learn yoga and exercise with teachers in the park. Not far away, a path leading directly to the top of the mountain is paved with cement.
This is not something you can see in sewers and American and Australian communities. The surrounding communities look very novel, and the surrounding supporting facilities are quite complete.
In the evening, the remaining warmth of the setting sun shone on Tao Xi, making Tao Xi feel a little bit of the warmth on the street. The golden afterglow filled the hills, which was very beautiful!
But Tao Xi quickly shook his head and kept telling himself in his heart: "Tao Xi! Tao Xi! You don't belong here, you still need to work hard, you still need to struggle, your current life is not enough for Hill.
tuition fee!"
Thinking of these words, Tao Xi's face turned a little dark at first, but soon a sly smile appeared on Tao Xi's face. As soon as Tao Xi's smile appeared, he saw an old white lady not far away who had been staring at him upstairs.
He quickly retracted his head back home.
But Tao Xi didn't care about that, when a red three-story building appeared in front of him.
When Tao Xi stood there and looked down to see that there was nothing inappropriate about his clothes, Tao Xi casually smoothed his hair and pressed the doorbell at the door~
Soon the sound of children running around in the house was heard.
The iron door inside the security door was opened first, and a little girl with blond hair exposed half of her face and looked carefully. When the little girl saw it was Tao Xi: "Wow! Brother Tao Xi! Mom, it's Tao Xi."
elder brother."
The little girl turned around and shouted as she opened the door and happily hugged Tao Xi who was already bent over~
"Brother, are you here to see Brother Hill or are you here to see me? My mother is very annoying recently. She always won't let me go to play with Brother Hill, saying that I disturb Brother Hill's study!"
"Haha, is that right? It seems that our little Snowy has been acting up lately~" Tao Xi smiled and hugged Mr. Williams' daughter, Snowy, and whispered all kinds of things to the child.
Soon a graceful-looking blonde woman came down.
The rose-colored nightgown makes the woman's fair skin brighter, and the red lips and wavy hair make this woman look very radiant.
"Hello, Mrs. Williams, this is the gift I brought to Sherry. Please give it to me."
Mrs. Williams didn't look very good, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile after seeing the gift Tao Xi brought to Sherry.
"Oh, Tao Xi, you are so kind. You have also..."
"It's okay, I can handle my own affairs. You and Mr. Williams have already helped the three of us a lot, so just leave it alone." Tao Xi tried to make himself look relaxed, but the smell of Mrs. Williams's perfume
Tao Xi couldn't help but look at her more femininely.
"Okay, Hill knows you're coming, so he won't be able to sit still upstairs. You go and see him first, and I'll prepare dinner for you."
"Ah, no, no need, I'm just going to tell you something and I'll be leaving in a moment." After putting Sherry, who was playing with a Barbie Princess doll, in Mrs. Williams's arms, Tao Xi quickly waved her hand and refused.
Mrs. Williams just picked up Xiao Xuerui, looked at Tao Xi with a smile, and said nothing.
The furnishings in the house look very shabby, but in many places in the house only the marks of their original placement can be seen, and those furniture or electrical appliances have disappeared.
Tao Xi saw Hill at a glance when he arrived on the second floor, but Hill looked very different now than he did a month ago.
Fat and clean, he looks like a civilized person on the street!
"How are you studying? Are you confident?" This was the first thing Tao Xi said after entering the room, but Hill instead answered Tao Xi's various questions with a happy face.
Tao Xi roughly summarized that the teacher in the preparatory class liked him very much, and Mr. Williams also helped him buy a lot of books. However, Mr. Williams's family often had quarrels recently, which made Hill, an outsider, very embarrassed.
Little Xuerui was just picked up from her grandmother’s house by Mrs. Williams today~
Tao Xi secretly sighed: "It's all the fault of money!"
Tao Xi looked at the brand new alarm clock on Hill's desk and thought, Mr. Williams is also very interested in Hill. He buys clothes and books for Hill~
If it were placed on Tao Xi, Tao Xi would not be able to bear it~
"Okay, I'm here to tell you something about your tuition. If you are confident that you will be admitted to Harvard Westlake High School, I will leave the money to you. When the time comes, you can give it to Mr. Williams and ask him to help you pay for it.
Pay, do you understand?"
When Hill heard that his tuition fee was settled, he was very happy.
But soon Hill's face became as embarrassed as dough: "Brother Tao Xi...are you going again..."
"Don't worry about it! I will handle my affairs myself. From now on, I will regularly give Mr. Williams' family 1,000 US dollars in living expenses every month. 500 US dollars of this will be given to you for socializing, and the other 500 US dollars will be given to Mr. Williams' family for social expenses."
You must explain Mrs. Williams' custody fee to them clearly when I leave later, do you understand?"
"Brother Tao Xi..."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Remember, I can give you what others can give you, and my brother can't be worse than others. If I know that you dare to get involved in my affairs again, I will kill you
His leg was broken." After saying this, Tao Xi turned around and left the house, but this time Tao Xi did not leave through the door, but climbed out from the window inside Hill's house~
Hill watched as Tao Xi skilfully jumped up and down the third floor of Mr. Williams' home and then ran to the street. Hill waved to Tao Xi who was walking on the street: "Brother Tao Xi, I
I will work hard."
Tao Xi, who was walking on the street, did not look back and just waved to Hill~
Hill sat in the room looking at the two checks in his hand with tears in his eyes.
One of the checks was for US$8,600, and the other check was originally written for US$1,000, but it was invalidated by Tao Xi. The face value of the rewritten check was US$1,500~
Mrs. Williams was standing in the kitchen, cooking vegetables thoughtfully, when suddenly the doorbell rang again, and two figures, one large and one small, appeared in the house.
Marco, who originally looked cool, was dressed in a waiter's outfit, which made Marco, who was a bit handsome himself, even more energetic.
