Chapter 213: The Brain is Not Normal
Chapter 213: The Brain is Not Normal
Dealing with women is a technical job, but dealing with Western women is still easier than dealing with the ladies in his hometown. At least he doesn't have to guess for a long time without them saying a word.
Amira is curious about China, but she has never been to China.
Our understanding of China is either based on hearsay or rumors.
Or from the news media.
Chatted for a while.
The shy Ms. Alice interjected: "I worked in Huaxia for a while."
Jiang Ning was a little surprised: "Madam, have you worked in Huaxia?"
Alice nodded and said, "Yes, I have worked in Huaxia Bank for six years."
Jiang Ning asked: "Then can you speak Chinese?"
"Of course!"
Alice switched to Chinese: "Chinese is more difficult to learn, but I learned it."
“Ma’am you are amazing!”
Jiang Ning gave her a thumbs up, which was indeed a surprise today.
I didn’t expect to meet a foreign woman who had worked in my hometown.
Chatted for half an hour.
The two ladies found an excuse and left.
Amyra then got down to business: "Sir, do you want to cash it at a Swiss bank?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "I have a promissory note for $200 million. I wonder if Madam can help me to cash it?"
Amyra was puzzled and said, "UBS's promissory note redemption process is not complicated. As long as you provide the information, you can redeem the note. I don't quite understand why you need my help."
Jiang Ning said, "I picked up the promissory note by accident. I don't want to cash it directly. I need to transfer it through other accounts and then remit it to my account. It's best not to let anyone find out that the money has entered my account."
Amyra understood: "I see, it's just a small matter. I can help you handle the money. Switzerland's banking industry is very developed. We only need to use financial instruments to make a few transactions so that no one can find out where the money went. However, there will be corresponding fees for the transfer of funds, and you will have to bear this fee."
"no problem."
Jiang Ning said: "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."
Amyra smiled and said, "You're welcome. I think we can work together."
Jiang Ning asked: "How do we cooperate?"
Amyra said: "I work in a bank and also engage in gold-related business. We can cooperate."
Jiang Ning was not surprised. This woman was in finance, so it was not surprising that she was in the gold business. Gold was easy to sell, but it would be good to have another shipping channel. "That's great, but I don't have any business in Europe, so it might be inconvenient."
Amira asked, "How much gold can your mine produce in a year?"
Jiang Ning said: "No less than ten tons of gold."
Amyra immediately said, "I suggest you register a precious metals trading company in London. London has the world's largest gold trading market. It is very convenient for both handling gold and investing in precious metals, and the transaction costs are also very low."
Jiang Ning nodded: "I will seriously consider the lady's suggestion."
After finishing the business, we chatted for a while.
Jiang Ning stood up to say goodbye, and Aris saw him off.
Out of the bar.
Jiang Ningcai asked: "Isn't your mother leaving yet?"
Aris said helplessly: "They are going to have a patty, and Ms. Alice and Ms. Sana haven't left yet."
Jiang Ning asked: "They haven't left yet?"
Aris said, "Of course, they still have to have a patty, how could they leave so early? The two ladies saw that my mother had something to discuss with you, so they found an excuse to avoid you. In fact, they are still in the bar!"
Jiang Ning put his arm around his shoulders and asked, "Hey man, do you like your aunt very much?"
Aris didn't understand: "I don't quite understand."
Jiang Ning said it more bluntly: "You like older women? I saw you flirting with that Ms. Sanna."
Aris was not embarrassed at all: "Sir, don't you think Ms. Sana is a beauty?"
Jiang Ning said: "The problem is that she is your mother's best friend, can you just do this?"
Aris said helplessly: "Your logic is too weird. I just interacted with Ms. Sana for a while. I didn't mean to have anything happen with her. Don't you Chinese people interact with ladies?"
"OK!"
Jiang Ning expressed his understanding: "The way we Chinese interact with women is different from yours. For example, if you don't want to sleep with her, you won't flirt with her."
"god!"
Aris expressed his incomprehension: "Your values are so weird."
Jiang Ning said: "Existence is reasonable."
Aris nodded: "Perhaps you are right."
Jiang Ning asked: "What do your mother's two best friends do?"
Aris said, "Ms. Alice is a German federal parliamentarian. She leads a new party. Ms. Sanna is the former Prime Minister of Finland. She resigned last year. I heard that she signed a contract with an entertainment company."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Prime Minister of Finland?"
Aris said, "It's the former Prime Minister."
Jiang Ning was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet a European politician when he was looking for someone to do something for him. He didn't pay much attention to Europe. He knew that Germany's general manager Merkel was a woman, but he didn't expect that Finland also had a female prime minister. He said, "Ms. Sanna is not even forty years old, but she is already a former prime minister. Doesn't that mean she became prime minister in her early thirties?"
Aris said: "To be exact, Ms. Sanna won the election and became the Prime Minister of Finland at the age of 34."
Jiang Ning clicked his tongue twice, not knowing what to say.
Everything is possible under Western democracy.
However, he became prime minister in his thirties and stepped down before he was forty.
It always feels unreal.
What are the 30-somethings in politics doing in my hometown?
Back at the hotel, Feng Xue was packing her things.
Since arriving in Greece, I have been buying a lot of things along the way.
I bought too much and the suitcase can’t hold it all.
Feng Xue was a little conflicted, considering whether or not to buy another backpack to carry her things.
Jiang Ning came back and saw her struggling, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Xue compared the two.
Jiang Ning said casually: "Just pack up the extra ones and send them back home."
Feng Xue wondered, is it possible to send things abroad?
Jiang Ning said: "There are international express delivery companies in Europe and America that can send it."
Feng Xue gestured, don't buy anything anymore.
Jiang Ning hummed twice and said, "Sister, I have something to do, so I have to stay in Switzerland for a few more days."
Feng Xue nodded and had no objection.
Jiang Ning said, "It's getting late, let's take a shower and go to bed!"
Feng Xue gestured twice, indicating that she had washed it, and let him wash it himself.
Jiang Ning said, "It's boring to take a bath alone. Please accompany me to take a bath again!"
Feng Xue smiled, her eyes as gentle as water.
I obediently agreed to his unreasonable request.
I accompanied him to wash again.
Jiang Ning didn't bother any more and just took a bath.
Traveling is also a physical activity, and Feng Xue has been feeling quite tired recently.
After taking a shower, I went to bed.
Can't sleep so early.
Talking and playing with the phone at the same time.
Jiang Ning was reading European news when he came across the sex scandal of Ms. Sanna. He checked and found that there were a lot of news about that woman. When she was prime minister, she was criticized for eating expensive food and was criticized for bringing friends to the office.
If you don't turn on your phone after get off work, you will be criticized; if you attend a fashion party, you will be criticized; if you get close to female friends, you will be criticized; if you dress too extravagantly, you will be criticized; if you dance sexy dance when you are having fun, you will be criticized.
She divorced her husband one month after resigning and parted ways with him.
She lives a willful life. Jiang Ning showed Feng Xue: "Look at this woman."
Feng Xue took a look, looking confused and unable to understand.
Jiang Ning explained to her: "This woman is the former general manager of Finland. I met her today. She became the prime minister in her thirties. She never turns on her phone after get off work, brings her friends to the office, attends fashionable parties from time to time, and occasionally goes to the bar to have a drink and dance to relax. She resigned before she was forty. She lives a willful life."
Feng Xue gestured with his hands, expressing his disagreement with Western values.
After playing in Switzerland for a few days and finishing my business, I went to Germany for a trip.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the scheduled surgery time was approaching.
Jiang Ning was preparing to fly to Washington and then to Baltimore.
The night before departure.
Feng Xue suddenly wrote to him: "I won't have the surgery anymore."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Why not do it?"
Feng Xue wrote: "I think it's good like this now. It's okay if I can't speak."
Jiang Ning was a little embarrassed: "Don't you think that life is not perfect if you don't speak for a lifetime?"
Feng Xue: "Nothing in the world is perfect. I'm used to it. There's nothing wrong with silence. I think it's good to be a listener. Although language can let people express their inner thoughts, it can also bring a lot of troubles sometimes."
Jiang Ning: "..."
Feng Xue: "Can I stop doing it?"
Jiang Ning hugged her. This was the first time Feng Xue clearly expressed her subjective thoughts. He didn't know how to persuade her. After thinking for a long time, he could only say: "It's okay not to do it, but I always feel that it's too painful to keep silent for a lifetime."
Feng Xue wrote on his back: "It's not bitter. This is good enough."
Jiang Ning made a video call to Feng Yu and explained the situation.
Feng Yu asked him: "What do you think?"
Jiang Ning said: "I think we should respect Sister's opinion. She said she wanted to be a listener. If you insist on persuading her to have surgery, you are actually forcing her to do something she doesn't like. Let her decide for herself!"
Feng Yu thought for a while and nodded: "Then let's not do it!"
After chatting for a while, it was already very late.
It's just dawn in Australia, but it's almost dawn here.
Hang up the video.
Jiang Ning hugged Feng Xue and prepared to go to sleep: "Sister, let's not do the surgery and have a baby!"
Feng Xue quickly shook his head and gestured repeatedly.
Jiang Ning didn't understand: "Why? You don't want to have the surgery and you don't want the child?"
Feng Xue wrote to him: "Let's talk about it in a few years. Tiantian is too young."
Jiang Ning didn't understand: "What does this have to do with Tiantian?"
Feng Xue: "Taking care of a child is tiring, and it's even harder when she's two years old. I have to help take care of Tiantian until she's three years old. Otherwise, you're often not at home, and it's too tiring for Feng Yu to take care of the child alone."
"This……"
Jiang Ning said: "You are 28 this year. If you delay for a few more years, you will become an older mother."
Feng Xue: "It's okay to have children in your thirties."
Jiang Ning had nothing to say and could only listen to her for the time being.
I plan to go back and discuss this with Feng Yu.
Although the surgery is no longer necessary, the itinerary remains unchanged.
Europe is just like that, winter is not really suitable for traveling.
The two flew to America and transferred from Washington to Texas.
Deng Xiaoyun has returned. She was given a half-month vacation during the Spring Festival. The round trip took her five days. She came back to work on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. She came to pick her up at the airport in a BMW, not Jiang Ning's BMW, but a 3 Series.
It still looks like a new car.
Jiang Ning got into the car and asked, "Whose car is this?"
Deng Xiaoyun was quite proud: "Mine, how is it, not rotten, right?"
"It is ok!"
Jiang Ning asked, "How much did you spend on it?"
Deng Xiaoyun said as she drove on the road: "It's nearly $40,000, and most of my year-end bonus is gone."
Jiang Ning gave a thumbs up: "Sister Xiaoyun is great. You should enjoy your money as soon as you earn it. This is a good attitude towards life."
Deng Xiaoyun asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you are being sarcastic?"
Jiang Ning denied: "No, I am telling the truth."
Deng Xiaoyun muttered, "I feel like you're not real at all now, just like my dad and the others."
Jiang Ning: "..."
This metaphor is not quite appropriate, right?
I drove to Arlington and visited the family office first.
By the way, let Feng Xue take a rest and adjust to the jet lag.
There were a few more hired workers, all of them foreigners whom Jiang Ning had never seen before.
I've only heard the name.
Metsis introduced them to him and said they were all ordinary employees.
Only one senior consultant had a good resume and had worked in the state government.
These employees had never seen the boss's wife and did not know Feng Xue.
One guy asked directly: "Boss, is this beautiful lady the boss's wife?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Of course, this is one of the boss ladies. In fact, you have two boss ladies. Another one took my daughter to Australia for vacation. You will meet her if you have a chance."
"Yeah, boss, you're great!"
A group of foreigners were envious, but not surprised.
This is nothing new.
But Deng Xiaoyun couldn't remain calm.
After sending Feng Xue to the room, he pulled Jiang Ning outside and asked, "What's going on between you and Feng Xue?" despite Jiang Ning's protests.
Jiang Ning did not hide it. In fact, he had never tried to hide it. This kind of thing could not be hidden. It would spread sooner or later. He said, "Don't be surprised. What's wrong with me having two wives? Look at you, you don't know anything about the world."
Deng Xiaoyun was surprised: "Does Feng Yu know?"
Jiang Ning said: "This is nonsense, doesn't Feng Yu know that we can come out together?"
"no……"
Deng Xiaoyun felt like she was going crazy: "How is this possible?"
"How is it impossible?"
"how is this possible?"
Jiang Ning said unhappily, "Just because you haven't seen it, it must be impossible?"
Deng Xiaoyun said suspiciously, "What era is this? How could such a thing still happen? Could it be that you oppressed Feng Yu, and Feng Yu had to compromise for the sake of her family and children? That must be the case."
Jiang Ning looked at her like she was stupid: "What the hell is in your head? Have you ever heard of selfless love? You definitely haven't heard of it, otherwise you wouldn't be single at the age of 28 and still unmarried and no one wants you."
This is a bit hurtful.
"Jiang, I'm going to fight you!"
Deng Xiaoyun got furious and pounced on him with her teeth bared.
Jiang Ning easily subdued her, dragged her downstairs and pushed her out the door.
Then I locked the door and went upstairs to sleep.
When I arrived at the bedroom, Feng Xue was already lying down.
I asked him using sign language and heard some noise.
Jiang Ning said: "Deng Xiaoyun is not in her right mind, ignore her."
Feng Xue didn't ask any more questions.
Jiang Ning went to bed and hugged her to sleep.
