Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 888 Why does it feel like I’m busier on vacation in San Francisco than in Xijing?

We stayed in Yanjing for one night and continued our journey at noon the next day. The plane drew a half arc along the North Pacific and landed at San Francisco International Airport around ten o'clock the next morning.

After completing the customs entry formalities, Fang Minghua dragged her suitcase to the departure hall and saw a young woman in a floral dress, holding a very cute little girl in a white bubble skirt and looking towards them.

"Dad, Dad." When the little girl saw Fang Minghua, she immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms.

"Xinxin, my dear daughter." Fang Minghua picked her up and kissed her on the cheek: "Baby, you have grown so tall."

Although the Internet has become increasingly popular in recent years and we can now video chat online, the feeling of actually holding my little daughter in my arms now cannot be replaced by videos.

At this time, Li Li also came over and offered to help carry the trolley case with a smile, but was stopped by Fang Minghua.

"Don't be impatient, give me a kiss."

After saying this, Fang Minghua put her daughter down and hugged Li Li again.

"Hateful!" But Li Li still took the initiative to hug her. Fang Minghua kissed her on the lips, then picked up her daughter again. The family of three happily walked out of the waiting hall.

After getting in the car and heading home, Xinxin chattered to her father about the interesting things that happened at school.

Xinxin is six and a half years old this year and is in the first grade of primary school, a private elementary school called the Nueva School.

This elementary school is one of the best private elementary schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. It has an elegant school environment and focuses on creativity and innovation, so it offers multiple STEM courses. It enjoys a high reputation in the field of education and has been rated as one of the best schools in the United States many times.

Of course, tuition fees are among the top three in San Francisco, at approximately $5.3 per year.

After listening to her daughter's story about her classmates, Fang Minghua asked, "Xinxin, is there any boy who likes you?"

"Yes, his name is Aiden. He follows me around all day long, but I don't like him at all!" Xinxin replied with a pout.

"why?"

"Because he always likes to ask boring questions, which makes him look childish!"

childish?

Are you a little brat too?

However, under Li Li's cultivation, Xinxin has read many books since she was a child. Her reading volume is relatively large among her peers, and she seems more mature.

At this time, Li Li, who was driving, added:

"Aiden's father is Gabriel, who is mainly engaged in real estate, hotels and other industries. I heard that he has businesses in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, etc. He is also considered one of the richest people in California. He just became a member of the California State Assembly, and Aiden's grandfather was also a federal congressman.

Ah?
"Then, Aiden contacted our Xinxin, could he have other purposes?" Fang Minghua frowned.

Li Li understood what he meant.

Fang Minghua, whose personal wealth ranks among the richest people in the United States, is not often in the United States and is very low-key, but his personal situation is gradually becoming known to people, including his close relationship with Li Li, which is no longer a secret in the circle of wealthy people in the United States.

Li Li herself has assets worth hundreds of millions of US dollars, which makes her one of the richest women in San Francisco.

Now she heard Fang Minghua ask this and said, "I didn't ask. After all, the child is still very young. As for the future..."

At this point she smiled brightly: "Don't you, the father, have the final say?"

This is true.
Fang Minghua nodded, it seemed that he had thought too much.

The car entered the Feroli Manor in San Francisco Heights. This was the house Fang Minghua bought before leaving San Francisco two years ago. As soon as it stopped at the door of the villa, a man in his fifties who looked like a butler came to help open the door. It was the manor's butler Lucas. Lucas saw Fang Minghua and said respectfully: "Mr. Fang, Mrs. Li, you are back."

Fang Minghua nodded.

The three got out of the car and walked into the villa.

"Lucas originally asked the manor to arrange for a driver to drive me and take me to school, but I'm not used to it. I like to drive to and from get off work alone." Li Li said as they walked.

"However, Xinxin and Ruirui are picked up and dropped off by the driver when they go to and from school."

"Where is Ruirui?" Fang Minghua asked.

"She can't go home until tomorrow because it's the weekend. How about we give her a call today and ask her to come back in the evening?" Li Li said.

"Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow and don't disturb the children's studies." Fang Minghua said.

Fang Minghua went upstairs to take a shower and changed into loose home clothes. Then she went downstairs and sat on the sofa in the living room. Her daughter immediately snuggled in her arms.

Li Li sat on the sofa next to him, peeling an apple for him and said, "You said on the phone that you wanted to hold a Chinese calligraphy and painting exhibition. I have contacted the San Francisco Fine Arts Museum and they have agreed. The time is set around early October. The specific time will be when your calligraphy and paintings are shipped back."

"Okay, but I won't publicly exhibit the ten paintings from the Republic of China this time," Fang Minghua added.

"You?" Li Li smiled and said nothing. Then she handed the peeled apple to Fang Minghua.

Fang Minghua naturally has his own little thoughts.

Although the calligraphy and painting works of Wang Xijing of Qin Province can be ranked among the best in China, they are still far behind the paintings of the masters of the Republic of China, and it is a bit awkward to put them together.

After a while, they had lunch. One of their private chefs was the nanny they hired when they lived in the Seacliff community. Li Li felt that she was used to the food cooked by the nanny, and the nanny was also a nice person, so she brought her over.

Of course there are other chefs on the estate.

"Minghua, you should take a rest today to adjust to the jet lag. Demi hopes you can go to Ashley Press as soon as possible. She wants to report to you on her work."

"Phillips also wants to meet you to report on his team's investment and financial management. Please arrange a time as soon as possible."

"September 9th is our school's Chinese Culture Day. Are you here? I hope you can attend, too."

"And Redaven, September 9th is his wife's birthday, and he's going to hold a birthday party and invited me. When I heard you were coming, I strongly invited you to come with me."

"Oh, right! A few days ago, I received an email from Amazon, saying that they are planning to hold a shareholders' meeting on October 10. You are now the second largest shareholder of Amazon. Will you attend?"

Fang Minghua was shocked after hearing this.

I came to San Francisco to visit Li Li and her daughter, and to take a vacation at the same time. Why do I feel busier than in Xijing?

Seeing Fang Minghua's expression, Li Li couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Minghua, you are no longer an ordinary person in the United States. If you show up in public, I don't know how many invitations will fly to you like snowflakes."

"Ah?! Forget it. I won't go to your school's cultural day. I won't attend Amazon's shareholders meeting either. I also wanted to meet Bezos. Forget it. I won't meet him."

Fang Minghua sighed and said.
