I will practice more in the United States

Li Ang's application was approved almost instantly at the research center.

Even after knowing that Leon was leaving, Professor Rupert actually breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, because of Li Ang's presence, they have been working almost non-stop. Although the efficiency is really high, it is also very costly. His old bones can hardly bear it.

On the other side, Li Ang has also returned home.

He hadn't been back for a long time, and seeing the familiar scenery gave him a natural sense of comfort.

"Brother Li Ang, are you back from school?"

A little girl with blue eyes and long golden hair in front of him was staring at him with big eyes, looking at him in confusion and asked.

"Uncle Wilson, long time no see."

Li Ang greeted Uncle Wilson, touched his granddaughter's head and said:

"Yes, brother is back from school, you should study hard in the future too."

Uncle Wilson, who had obviously trimmed his beard carefully for fear of pricking his granddaughter, touched his non-existent beard and said with some emotion:

“You’ve been away for such a long time, and Miss Silla is also away. This town is still quite deserted.”

"You're worried about being lonely when you have your granddaughter with you?"

Li Ang was joking, but he was a little confused in his heart. Did Xila go out too?

Since he started high-intensity training some time ago, the number of chats with Xila has become much less, especially during this period, the two of them only occasionally posted their experiences every few days.

He had never felt it before, but now that he thought about it, it seemed a little abnormal. Logically speaking, Silla would not look for him so few times. This could only mean that she was very busy every day and didn't have much time to chat with him.

"By the way, when she left, she left a surprise for you, saying that she would let me give it to you when you come back."

As Uncle Wilson spoke, he took out an access card from his wallet.

"Here's the key to her garage. Here you are. Now my mission is finally accomplished."

Li Ang opened the garage door with some curiosity and found two bicycles of different colors inside.

Even though they are just two bicycles, they are not cheap. One bicycle can be exchanged for a pretty good car.

The paint on the car alone is worth a lot of money.

There was also a note left for him.

"Dear, this is the latest limited edition bike. I saw many people say on the Internet that this is every cyclist's dream bike. I don't know which color you like, so I just bought them all for you. I hope you like them and stick to your hobbies and dreams."

To be honest, with Li Ang's current wealth, he can buy many cars like this for collection, but the meaning of buying them for yourself and buying them as gifts is different after all.

What's more, such a sum of money is not something that Silla can easily come up with.

Holding the letter that Silla left for him, he stayed there for a long time, then quickly took out his cell phone and called Silla.

After learning that Li Ang had finally returned home, she sounded a little surprised, but soon she said to Li Ang apologetically:
"I've been busy with some things recently, so I may not have much time to accompany you, but it will be over soon. When I'm done with this period of time, we can go abroad for a good trip. I remember you posted on Instagram last time that you wanted to go to the Alps. We can go together."

Just from the voice, Leon could hear a sense of weariness.

"Tell me what you're busy with lately. Maybe I can help you."

He came back this time because he wanted to get rid of the boring training and find something else to do. He happened to see that Silla was in some difficulties, so there was no reason for him not to help.

And he also felt a little guilty that he cared too little for Xila.

Silla on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, but still told Li Ang.

In fact, it is nothing new. It is still about Sheila's father, Hilbert Sheila, participating in the election.

Xila never told Li Ang about this matter, mainly because she was afraid that it would affect Li Ang's training and make him and herself anxious.

Once you know what the matter is, it will be easier to deal with it later.

Li Ang flew directly to New York that evening.

However, he did not go to see Sheila immediately, but went to the shopping mall first.

If he still can't learn after being taught by someone first, then it's his fault.

Li Ang, wearing an outfit worth more than one hundred thousand U.S. dollars, came to the manor where her father lived. Although she did not make an appointment in advance, she still felt the respectful attitude of the security guard at the door.

He could only sigh that sometimes the money spent on luxury goods could not be said to be worthless.

Moreover, expensive items, whether in terms of style, texture, or comfort, are really different from those cheap clothes that cost dozens or hundreds of dollars.

Although he has never cared much about these things, there is no way he can prevent others from caring. Sometimes he always runs into some snobbish people. He can't always introduce his identity to others or show his strength, right?
Therefore, a luxury car, a high-end watch, and even the clothes on your body can accomplish this task well.

Even Xila, who came out to greet Li Ang, was impressed by his outfit today.

Li Ang's hardware is already top-notch. In fact, he doesn't need anything to dress up, and it is difficult to ignore him in the crowd. But a suitable outfit will undoubtedly increase the original 100 points to 120 points.

After entering the manor, Li Ang found that several of Xila's best friends were there. Judging from their appearances, they must have been worried about her affairs.

After Li Ang came in, Xila was about to introduce one of the women with an unusually plump figure, and she stood up excitedly and said:

"Don't introduce me. Let me think about it. Is this your little brother? Honey, you have a great eye for things."

The plump woman gave Silla a thumbs up as she spoke.

The other two women looked at Silla with a hint of teasing in their eyes, thinking that it was no wonder that they hadn't seen her dating for such a long time, it turned out that she ate so well in private.

One of them even said to Li Ang in a slightly exaggerated tone while looking at the shopping bag in his hand:

"Wow, our little puppy even brought a gift to his sister. It's from Hermes. This gift is not cheap."

Although they had no ill intentions, they still thought more about the fact that Li Ang was being kept by Xila.

After all, no matter how old a man is, he likes eighteen-year-olds. If Li Ang is really successful and famous, and it is not for Xila's money, there is no reason for him to play a sister-brother relationship. In order to protect Li Ang as a public figure, Xila has not introduced too many to her girlfriends. Now seeing everyone's misunderstanding tone, she is still a little anxious, but she doesn't know what to say.

Li Ang didn't care about these people's ridicule of her. He came here this time to support Xila. Besides, he never thought that being kept was shameful. It was his own ability to find a rich woman.

At least in his previous life, he had always had a dream of not having to work hard anymore and being kept by a rich woman.

Li Ang took out his shopping bags one by one and gave each of them a portion.

"Ah? So we all got a share too? Thank you so much, my handsome brother."

The plump young woman expressed her gratitude while rubbing her breasts against Li Ang's body.

"It's okay, they are just worthless little things."

Li Ang waved his hands. These were indeed some things he had to buy in order to buy gifts for Xila.

And that’s not all. He deposited many more things and planned to take them back as souvenirs for other friends.

When Li Ang finally took out the gift for Xi La, the women who had been making a lot of noise just now suddenly became quiet.

After a while, the young woman who had teased the gift for being expensive could not help but ask:
“Is this the Hermès Himalaya Birkin bag?”

It's no wonder that she was so surprised. The price of this thing would easily exceed 300,000 or 400,000 US dollars, and you can't buy it with so much money. Generally speaking, if you don't spend millions of dollars at Hermès, you can't even see the appearance of this bag.

And this thing is definitely not a fake, because her other rich best friend has one, and she has no idea how many times she has coveted it. It can be said that she knows every detail of this bag.

Li Ang also studied it carefully on the Internet. If the gift that Sheila gave him was the dream bike of all cyclists, then this bag was almost the dream bag of all women.

As for the proper ceiling, there is no other ceiling above it except for some unique custom-made ones.

In fact, even Silla was shocked. Although she really wanted to know where Leon got so much money to give her a gift, this was not the right time. She just accepted the gift with great surprise.

With this support, Li Ang doesn't need to introduce himself, and they naturally won't think that Li Ang is a gigolo anymore.

Anyone who can afford this bag must have a net worth of at least tens of millions of US dollars.

After some pleasantries, they got down to business. In fact, the biggest difficulties were things like votes and support rates.

And these things are often inseparable from fame, wealth and power.

In fact, it stands to reason that, as a world champion in cycling, Li Ang could get a lot of votes for her father, but Sheila never asked him for help because she felt that this move might create a lot of obstacles for Li Ang's future development, or even overdraw his potential.

And in fact, they are not too anxious about the grassroots votes. What Hilbert Shearer lacks more is the support of the upper authorities.

But this problem cannot be solved simply by money, you also need connections and relationships.

Since coming in, Li Ang has not seen his cheap father-in-law. After asking, he found out that he was preparing for a charity dinner tonight.

Many big shots will attend this dinner, and this is one of the few opportunities for him to win their support before the election.

When the time came to the evening, as Sheila's man, Li Ang naturally chose to attend as her male companion.

To be honest, this was the first time that Li Ang participated in these so-called upper-class banquets.

However, even in this occasion where everyone is either of extraordinary status or full of handsome men and beautiful women, Li Ang's appearance still attracted the attention of many people.

Li Ang tasted the champagne that cost tens of thousands of dollars a bottle. With his keen perception, he actually felt that this thing was indeed better than ordinary soda.

But comparing the taste and the price, Li Ang couldn't help but feel that these rich people really had too much money and didn't know where to spend it.

Li Ang retracted his gaze and suddenly noticed a change in the micro-expression on Xila's face. It was a nervous subconscious reaction.

Following her gaze, he discovered that a beautiful young woman, about 27 or 28 years old, was walking towards them.

Putting aside her natural looks, with her top-notch makeup and skin that she spends a lot of money to maintain, it is hard for anyone to be ugly, not to mention that she has an air of nobility.

"Wow, has she finally found a male companion? My sister Sheila."

Christina deliberately emphasized the word "sister", just to express that Silla was older than her.

"Yes, it seems that my man is much better than the man next to you."

Xila also responded tit for tat.

As soon as these words came out, Christina and the pretty boy beside her changed their expressions obviously. Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife.

They really couldn't refute what Silla said.

Hearing the woman's name, Li Ang also retrieved her information from his mind.

This woman is the mortal enemy of Xila's father. Because of the natural opposition of power, the relationship between the two is naturally not good.

This charity dinner was actually also a battlefield for their confrontation.

"How about this, you ask your male companion to play with me for a night, and maybe I can persuade my father to give way to you guys."

Christina puffed out her chest and said proudly.

Although her male companion could not match her, it was also true that her father currently had the upper hand.

In fact, Li Ang did not think this was an insult, but in fact, it was a very excessive insult.

Xila blushed and said angrily:

"The results haven't come out yet, so don't think you've won for sure."

Soon, several key figures arrived.

When Xila's father saw Li Ang in this place, he was really surprised.

I haven't seen this kid for a long time. He has grown taller and more handsome, and even won the world cycling championship. It can be said that he is very outstanding. It's a pity that his excellence can't help him now.

In fact, Li Ang was also a little surprised, because he actually saw an acquaintance among the last "big shot" to enter. (End of this chapter)
