The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 760 The Earth Revolves Around You
"The weather in Los Angeles is too hot." Lin Changning came back from the orphanage, handed his coat to the babysitter, and sat next to Chen Zhengwei.

Except when she accompanied Chen Zhengwei out to sea, she would visit the orphanage every three days.

Now the orphanage has also moved here from San Francisco, and it is much larger than the one in San Francisco. The oldest children in it are already 16 years old and have started to go out to work.

The little nanny in Chen Zhengwei's family is a gentle girl from an orphanage - Lin Changning has sinister intentions!
But in this era, not to mention 16-year-olds, even children as young as 3 or 4 have to work.

Whether in the UK or the US, when cleaning the fireplace chimney, because it is too small for adults to get in, people always bring their 3 or 4 year old children to do it. The older children are 5 or 6 years old. Any older than that won't be able to get in.

Chen Zhengwei has seen this scene more than once: an adult brings a child to the roof, then wraps a rope around the child and puts the child into the chimney.

Suffocation and burns are common.

Compared to those children, the children in Lin Changning Orphanage are almost in heaven.

"You are the one who is cold and you are the one who is hot! You say it is cold in San Francisco and hot in Los Angeles. The earth revolves around you!" Chen Zhengwei felt that Lin Changning was too pretentious.

Lin Changning kicked him directly. This guy always said things that were unpleasant to the ear.

"Have you arranged the New Year's activities?" Chen Zhengwei curled his lips and chatted casually.

"It's all arranged. In addition to the lion dance, there will also be a parade this year! We will invite the statue of the Queen of Heaven to travel around the entire Los Angeles!" said Lin Changning.

These New Year matters were also arranged by Lin Changning and various chambers of commerce, and Chen Zhengwei also has his own lion dance team, which was originally the largest lion dance team in San Francisco and is now the largest in Los Angeles.

“Will you still give out money this year?”

"Make money! Let's get rich together!" Chen Zhengwei said without thinking.

This year's New Year's Day is relatively late, on February 2th, which is still ten days away.

"By the way, I just received a telegram that James is coming to Los Angeles to celebrate the New Year with us!" Chen Zhengwei talked about another thing.

"Which James?" Lin Changning asked directly.

"The President of the United States! He brought his wife and children here! Why are there so many Americans named James? Wherever I go, if I don't know who I'm talking to, I just say: Good evening, James. Then the other person will shake my hand excitedly and say: Mr. Chen, it's an honor for you to remember your name." Chen Zhengwei imitated the respectful tone of others when talking to him.

Lin Changning also smiled.

"Where do they live?"

"Hotel! The mainland hotel hasn't been built yet, so we'll find a better one for them to stay in. Although he is the president, there's no need to be too pretentious." Chen Zhengwei said.

The Continental Hotel under construction is the best hotel in Los Angeles and the tallest building in Los Angeles. The designer was invited from New York.

The hotel is six stories high and is equipped with electricity, lighting and elevators. Although the main structure has been built, the interior has not yet been completed and it will take at least another half a year.

In the evening, Yan Qingyun came to Chen Zhengwei's house. This was his first time there.

"Brother Wei!" Yan Qingyun saw Chen Zhengwei coming and quickly stood up from the sofa.

"Smile more! Look at your face, you look like a dead person! You are not ugly, but you look like that every day. How can you get a wife like this?" Chen Zhengwei patted his shoulder.

Yan Qingyun forced a smile.

He was actually very happy in his heart, and especially liked the tone Chen Zhengwei used when talking to him, as if they were family.

But he hardly smiles and doesn't talk much.

"Forget it, you'd better stop laughing. It's so ugly!" Chen Zhengwei said unhappily.

"Sit down and talk."

"Brother Wei, clean it up!" Yan Qingyun said.

"How long has this been going on? It took over two months to clean it up!"

"Accept the punishment!" Yan Qingyun didn't say that there was a very difficult killer and he led people to chase him for more than a month.

Although he didn't say it, Chen Zhengwei knew the whole story because all the people on the board of directors were his people.

He felt a little pity about the one he disposed of last.

However, since he wanted to clean up the internal situation, he couldn't keep the other person even if he was a talented person.

"Since you said so, I will punish you! I will arrange ten big-breasted girls for you tonight, and you have to deal with them for me! If you fail to deal with one of them, you will be in big trouble!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

This time Yan Qingyun's expression was really stiff.

"Also, Council, is it okay for you to continue to be the deputy?"

"without!"

"That's good! Now that you're back, have a good New Year... Your sister-in-law said she would find a wife for you, you can meet her in a few days. You will continue to be in charge of the board of directors during these days until I find someone to go there." Chen Zhengwei said.

"it is good!"

"But there are ten big-breasted girls tonight, you have to take care of them first! Otherwise, you'll be in trouble! I'll hang you at the door of the brothel!"

Yan Qingyun opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.

……

New York, Continental Hotel.

A group of students gathered together.

"Shaochuan!"

"Da Chao!"

"Zan Yu!"

Tan Yaoxun, Zhong Wenyao, Tang Shaoyi and other Chinese students studying in the United States gathered together, a total of more than 50 people.

Zhan Tianyou was also abducted back. These people were all between 17 and 20 years old, wearing gentleman's clothes, without braids, and were in their prime and full of vigor and vitality.

This time, without the supervision sent by the Qing Dynasty, their lives here are much better and more active.

Chen Zhengwei sponsored them to study in the United States. He only sent money and asked about their academic performance. He didn't care about anything else.

And they have enough money, enough for them to live a decent life in college.

"Everyone is here. Let's say hello to Mr. Xu and then we'll set off."

"I don't know what Los Angeles is like. I've only heard of it. The last time I came back, I was in a hurry to report back to school! Otherwise, I would have gone to see it!"

"We just happen to be celebrating the New Year there this time, so we might as well go and have a look!"

This group of students are very excited now, and without any supervision, their minds are liberated and everyone is very relaxed.

After meeting Xu Yan, the group went to New York train station and took the train to Los Angeles.

When you arrive at the train station, you can see the San Francisco recruitment table still at the entrance of the train station.

"It's been two years! They're still hiring in San Francisco."

“Now San Francisco is a metropolis, too!”

Everyone laughed.

As the group was chatting and laughing, Ouyang Ming, the Qing Dynasty's ambassador to the United States, came out of the train station with his men. He had just returned from Washington.

The two sides met each other.

The group of students suddenly stopped talking, looking somewhat nervous and embarrassed.

What they feared most when they returned to the United States this time was meeting Ouyang Ming. They had been avoiding meeting him, but they didn't expect to meet him here.

Ouyang Ming walked in front of the crowd and glanced at everyone.

"Lord Ouyang!"

“I will not tell the court about what you are doing here. You guys take care of yourself! Since you have this opportunity, don’t let it down, don’t let your youth down, and don’t let down other people’s expectations.” Ouyang Ming said in a deep voice.

"If you need any help, you can tell me!"

After saying this, he led his men away.

Then the students looked at each other and then started laughing.

Ouyang Ming's attitude finally made them put down the last burden.

……

At the same time, a ship was entering the port of San Francisco.

Yuan Shikai stood on the bow, smiling: "We are finally here!"

"Bu Wu, Guangsha, Uncle Mei, it took so long to get here, but we are finally here!"

There were several other young people around Yuan Shikai. In addition to his good friend Xu Shichang who set out with him, there were also Kang Youwei and Zhang Xuecheng (Zhang Taiyan) whom he met in Ryukyu. These two were also coming to the United States.

They waited for a long time in Ryukyu before they got the ship. During those days, the group discussed the Qing Dynasty and the world situation, discussed ideas, and went to see the living conditions of the Malay workers in Ryukyu together. As a result, they became good friends over time.

Besides them, there were some Malaysian Chinese businessmen and their families on the ship, as well as some members of their clans.

At this time, everyone gathered on the deck and looked at San Francisco, which was faintly shrouded in fog in the distance.

"After arriving in San Francisco, we will tour around for a few days and then go to Los Angeles! I also plan to visit New York!" Yuan Shikai said excitedly.

Except Xu Shichang, these people all came from wealthy families and had no financial pressure in coming to the United States. At least they had enough money for travel.

When Yuan Shikai was daydreaming, Kang Youwei said: "Weiting, your idea is great! But you can't read, write or speak, so how can you go to New York?"

Several people burst into laughter.

The Chinese businessmen, their families, and the people from their gangs on the boat looked at the city in the distance with full of expectations.

As the ship entered the port, Chinese workers could be seen everywhere on the dock.

"The scenery here is really different! It looks much more civilized! Even the laborers wear vests!" Kang Youwei exclaimed.

He has recently been studying Western culture, especially modern Western history, and is looking forward to this trip to the United States.

The group got off the boat, and Yuan Shikai and his party had no trouble going through customs. Their passes were issued by Ryukyu, and they did not even have a customs clearance certificate.

The customs officer just took a look and let it pass.

On the contrary, for those white people, the other party carefully checked their documents and asked about their purpose of coming to the United States.

This amazed Yuan Shikai and others.

"I've heard that Chen Lao Hu has a huge influence in San Francisco, and now it seems to be true. We Chinese don't even need to be questioned when entering the country!" Xu Shichang nodded slightly.

After leaving customs, a group of people stood at the port, looking at the densely packed brick and stone buildings in front of them, the horse-drawn carriages passing on the streets, and the foreigners in gentlemen's suits and top hats, all of them were amazed.

Everything they see is new.

Chinese youths wearing gentleman's suits and soft hats were also everywhere.

But they soon discovered that few people seemed to wear the soft hats that the Chinese wore.

Apart from Chinese people, only a few foreigners wear it.

After whispering for a long time, they still couldn't figure out what was going on, so they asked their way to Chinatown, planning to stay there and then travel around San Francisco.
