Chapter 778 Dexter represents luck (Part 1)
It's evening, February 14th, 1999. For the East, this is an extremely festive festival. After all, today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the day after tomorrow is Spring Festival.
As the first of the three major festivals, the festive atmosphere in the East during this period is no less than Christmas in the West.
But on the same day, there is actually a holiday in the West - Valentine's Day.
Sometimes Chen Changqing is confused. The West has Valentine's Day and the East has the Chinese Valentine's Day. However, judging from the situation in later generations, there are Easterners celebrating Valentine's Day, but very few Westerners celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day.
It’s hard to say what the reason is. Is it because everyone has more money? Is it because everyone enjoys the festive atmosphere more?
Chen Changqing doesn't know either, but in any case, the festive atmosphere today is really good.
Apart from anything else, the place where I fish is very remote, and there are very few vehicles parked around on weekdays.
But today I saw at least seven or eight cars bouncing around corners along the way, and they looked very energetic.
Sure enough, spring is here, everything is coming back to life, and it’s time to do that again.
On the other side, the owner of the Elf King Hotel, Grand Duke Enns, who had not been seen for a long time, walked in wearing a festive red suit. He glanced around, looked at the clean hotel, and nodded with satisfaction.
Although Liens rarely appeared in the hotel on weekdays, as the boss, Enns was still very happy to see that his hotel was clean. Then he called a front desk receptionist:
"Where's the manager?"
Thinking of Dexter who had already left in the afternoon, the receptionist hesitated:
"Boss, the manager just went out. How about I call him and ask him to come back?"
After the words fell, the Grand Duke of Enns was stunned for a moment:
"No, let him come back to me."
Seeing that his boss didn't look very good, the receptionist didn't dare to say anything. He could only pray for Dexter in his heart:
"Okay boss."
On the other side, the Grand Duke of Enns frowned slightly, looking at the clean but somewhat empty hotel, with a bit of displeasure in his expression: "What happened to Dexter? He actually ran away on such an important day."
Already?"
Enns didn't react at first, but then he realized that today was not only the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, but more importantly, it was Valentine's Day in the West.
Instinctively, Enns thought that Dexter had skipped work for the holidays.
This made him very unhappy, especially on such an important holiday, and his face immediately turned gloomy.
The receptionist didn't dare to speak: "Uh..."
And looked at the front desk who was silent and had his head lowered.
The Grand Duke of Enns felt a little more annoyed and waved his hands impatiently: "Forget it, that's it. If an old man with a baby comes over later, you must treat him well. This person has a distinguished status, do you understand?
?”
Under the boss's stern gaze, the front desk nodded quickly and said:
"clear."
After saying that, under the frightened eyes at the front desk, the Grand Duke of Enns began to review the hotel's environment.
As for Dexter, who was mentioned by the Grand Duke of Enns?
At the moment he is in the bustling Chinatown.
Unlike most areas in New York, people outside are celebrating Valentine's Day, with roses and red wine, and the atmosphere is filled with hormones.
Chinatown, on the other hand, is full of festive colors.
Posting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns, you can often see two or three children holding firecrackers on the narrow road. With one or two crisp firecrackers going off, the crisp laughter of children can be heard from the streets.
Dexter, who was driving a large pickup truck, was very happy. Although he did not understand the meaning of this festival, his emotions were contagious, so this did not prevent him from liking this festive atmosphere. As the car slowly drove forward,
?
At a corner in Chinatown, Dexter glanced casually and saw a foreigner who was as out of place as himself.
Judging from the wrinkles on his face, he should be an old man in his seventies.
Wearing a retro-style tuxedo, it is not a pure black waiter's dress, but a medieval aristocratic dress with exquisite patterns and well-trimmed styles.
Dexter had seen a similar dress on his boss. It was so stunning that he was still deeply impressed by this style. Four words came to his mind subconsciously - Indescribable!
And in the arms of this aristocratic grandfather, he seems to be holding a child over one year old?
With a bit of thinking in his expression, Dexter thought for a while and took the initiative to move over. He opened the window and shouted:
"Grandpa, why are you taking your child alone in such a cold weather?"
Dracula looked at the stranger who came up to say hello with some surprise.
I don’t know whether it was because of the festival or because of the daughter in his arms. Dracula was in a good mood. He did not refuse coldly, but said with a smile:
"If you have nothing to do, let's take the kids out for a walk."
Dexter nodded and then asked:
"walk?"
Cars are the crystallization of human technology, but they are essentially a means of transportation.
Later, due to different price points, some luxury attributes were added, so the car cannot be called a cross-era product, because the car replaced the ancient horse's role.
But no matter what, the car is still a great invention and a romance in the hearts of many men.
However, Dracula didn’t have any good impressions of the current means of transportation in the world, especially cars!
No matter how fast the speed is, this kind of transportation can only travel two to three hundred kilometers per hour. Dracula's slow walking is even faster than this speed. Only airplanes that can reach more than one thousand kilometers per hour can satisfy Dracula.
The most basic transportation needs.
Of course, Dracula also understood that his situation was special.
I don't like cars, but for most human beings, this is already a great progress.
So after thinking for a moment, Dracula smiled and nodded:
"Yes, I came here on foot."
After saying this, Dracula planned to leave.
But looking at Dracula, Dexter was murmuring in his heart. He was thinking, with a bit of worry in his eyebrows: "It's too cold, old man, where is your home? I'll take you back at night."
New York is not very peaceful."
What Dexter said was not without purpose.
Racial sentiment abroad has always been very strong.
Despite the liveliness of Chinatown, the security here is not very good.
It can be seen from the divided areas that African Americans, Cuban Americans, poor white people, etc.
Poverty and racial hatred have led to extremely poor public security in these areas. The main reason is that the states have a high degree of autonomy. This ethos from top to bottom has ultimately resulted in one result -
The richer the place, the better the security and the more funds invested.
The poorer the money, the worse the public security and the less funds invested. This situation has greatly divided the country and caused the gap between people to continue to widen.
An old man in his seventies, with a one-year-old child in his arms, appeared near Chinatown at night, without weapons or a car?
To be honest, the situation is quite dangerous.
The reason why Dexter said this was not because he had a heart attack. The main reason was that the clothes on Dracula felt too familiar to him, and he inexplicably thought that his boss had a set of clothes of the same style.
Either he knows the boss, or he is a big shot in the same class as the boss.
As the manager of the Elf King Hotel, he didn't care about the old white man who had previously had conflicts with Fang Jinxin and his party.
But what if the other party is a boss of the same class as my boss?
This cannot be described as either rich or noble.
Not to mention becoming friends, even getting to know each other and becoming familiar with each other is a qualitative leap in life for Dexter.
Dexter is a hotel manager, and observing people's emotions is his professional skill. This is why there are so many people around him, and he can still see at a glance the reason why Dracula has an extraordinary background. But for someone like this who is suspected of being a big boss?
No acquaintance is required, you can earn it just by being familiar!
