Chapter 4 The Financier Gilbert

Beyoncé’s full name is Beyoncé Alexander. Beyoncé is just her name. Americans generally like to use their first name when introducing themselves. Only Chinese people are accustomed to calling Americans by their last name.

.

For example, McGrady, Garnett, or Iverson. In fact, these names are not real names, but surnames.

Just like Beyoncé called Chen Jie the word "Chen" because Chen is Chen Jie's first name and Jie is her surname.

This is the relationship between Eastern and Western cultural differences.

After chatting with Beyoncé for a while, Chen Jie learned that his father’s name was Gilbert.

The same name as Agent 0 Arenas.

Chen Jie was already looking forward to meeting this financier who likes interior design.

It was around six o'clock in the afternoon. After staying at Beyonce's house for four or five hours, Chen Jie finally heard the sound of the door opening. Beyonce's mysterious father came home from get off work.

Contrary to Chen Jie's imagination, this man was wearing a suit, but he didn't look like a middle-aged man at all. Instead, he looked like a handsome, tall young man.

This, this, are these father and daughter? Some people believe that they are brother and sister.

Chen Jie looked up to the sky and sighed. He looked at Gilbert and then at himself. They were all in tears.

I wipe it, it’s unreasonable. Why does a man in his forties look more handsome than me?

No wonder Beyoncé is so beautiful, it’s genetic.

Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes.

Gilbert put down the briefcase in his hand, put on a pair of slippers and walked into the living room, only to find a strange young man appearing in his home.

He was not surprised and greeted with a slight smile: "Hi."

Chen Jie quickly smiled: "Hi."

Gilbert glanced at Beyoncé next to him and smiled narrowly.

That means, my daughter finally has a boyfriend.

This is the openness of America. It is normal to have a boyfriend in college and bring him home. Instead of criticizing, Gilbert was very happy.

You know, it is very abnormal for a girl of Beyoncé's age to not have a boyfriend.

In the past, he had been worrying about Beyoncé's issue. Now it seems that he can finally relax.

Chen Jie was very puzzled by Gilbert's smile.

Beyoncé, who was next to her, understood clearly and said with a wry smile: "Dad, this is Chen, a guest from the East. He is homeless now, so I want him to stay in our house for a while."

Gilbert then suddenly realized and asked with some disappointment: "Not your boyfriend?"

Boyfriend, Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this word.

I'm Beyoncé's boyfriend? No. Handsome guy, although I don't mind either, but we've only known each other for less than a day, so you can't be so messy.

Chen Jie smiled shyly.

How good or bad, handsome guy.

Beyoncé shook her head.

Gilbert then determined that he had misunderstood and could not hide his disappointment, but he still enthusiastically sat down next to Chen Jie and asked: "Are you an Oriental Chinese or a Japanese?"

Your sister, why is this the first thing you say?

Am I that much like a Japanese?

Can Japan be as tall and powerful as me? I'm 1.87 meters tall, okay?

You are Japanese, your whole family is Japanese!

Chen Jie cursed, but the smile on his face was very bright: "I am Chinese."

"Oh. I have been to Shanghai, China, and the only thing I felt was that there are so many people in China. That time, I was stuck in a traffic jam for nearly four hours." Gilbert sighed as he recalled the past, with a helpless expression on his face.

It seemed like I was back to that scene of being stuck in a traffic jam and having to urinate urgently.

What's wrong with more people? There's more power than more people.

You're stuck in a traffic jam for four hours. Damn it, where are you? In the capital city of Greater China, I've been stuck in a traffic jam for a whole day. Isn't it so rare? It's weird.

Chen Jie flashed his middle finger in his heart, and said with a very calm expression on his face: "Really? That's really unfortunate. In fact, our country's transportation is already very developed, and it has developed very rapidly in recent years. Another

, as the living standards of the people in our country have improved, there will naturally be more private cars.”

We must show off our country's prestige. Just complain a few times at home. We must not lose the face of the Chinese people abroad.

Chen Jie thought this way and decided to change Gilbert's impression of China.

Little did he know that Gilbert actually had no intention of complaining at all. Hearing Chen Jie's words, he actually agreed: "Yes, I have seen China's development over the years. Indeed.

It’s shocking. Chen, your country is an amazing country.”

Gilbert gave a thumbs up.

Chen Jie smiled indifferently, and gently waved his hand to show, wherever he said, in general, the third in the universe.

"By the way, Chen, I heard that a basketball star from your country is coming to play in the United States this time?" Gilbert asked curiously.

"Well, yes, his name is Yao Ming. He is a very powerful center." Chen Jie naturally knew who he was referring to.

"Yao Ming? Is the center as good as our Shaq?" Gilbert asked.

"Not yet, but there will be one day sooner or later." Chen Jie likes Yao Ming very much and must save him face in front of these Americans. Besides, Chen Jie is not afraid, after all, Yao Ming's future will

He sees success in his eyes.

"Oh, really? Chen, I disagree with you. Shaq is the best center in the United States. Although China's economy is developing rapidly, there is still a gap between China and our United States in sports.

I really can't believe that one day Yao will be a center on par with Shaq." Gilbert waved his hand and retorted.

"Really? If you think so, how about we make a bet?" Chen Jie's smile was a little weird.

"Bet? How to block it?" Gilbert asked in surprise.

"Yao Ming will be the No. 1 pick this year, do you believe it?" Chen Jie made a small calculation in his mind.

"No. 1 pick? Impossible. Chen, my senior is also going to participate in the draft this year." Beyoncé next to her couldn't believe her ears when she heard this.

"Oh, you mean, you don't believe it anymore?" Chen Jie asked with a full smile.

Beyoncé nodded.

Gilbert nodded too.

"Well, if Yao Ming is the No. 1 pick this year, you, uh..." Chen Jie suddenly didn't know what he should ask for. Money? What if he spends all the money? Or has nothing. Work? What kind of work can he do now?

He doesn't even know. Furthermore, he doesn't know what Gilbert is capable of.

Want Beyoncé?

Girl, stop joking. I guess you'll be screwed if you say that.

What do you want?

Chen Jie was troubled.

Finally, I had some advantage by virtue of my ability as a prophet, but I found that I didn't know what to do with this advantage. This is really a very distressing thing.

"If Yao Ming is this year's No. 1 pick, then my daughter and I will be fans of Yao from now on!" Gilbert didn't know that Chen Jie hadn't decided what he wanted yet, so he thought he was embarrassed to say it, so he said on his own initiative.

.

Fans, your sister. Yao Ming has so many fans. I, the Chinese, have thousands of fans, but I am missing you two. It’s really...

But now that he had spoken like this, Chen Jie had nothing to say.

Suffered a loss. Suffered a loss.

Chen Jie looked pained.

But with such a bet, he would have no difficulty in getting help from Beyoncé's house.

Moreover, this little episode also made his relationship with Gilbert develop a lot.

After the three of them had dinner together, Gilbert and Chen Jie chatted about interior design, and they seemed like a pair of old friends.

The scene of a mature and capable middle-aged man wearing a suit sitting opposite him and discussing interior design with him and then becoming more and more fond of himself in Chen Jieyy's novel can be regarded as basically realized.

Except that this middle-aged man actually looks more like a handsome young man.
