Of course, Jennifer's talk is indispensable when eating.
Zhang Chi pretended that he couldn't hear him, so he ate this meal. Although the food was good, it was uncomfortable to eat.
Fortunately, after dinner, Jennifer left not long after. Zhang Chi could not wait to beat gongs and drums to send Jennifer off.
Watching Jennifer's car drive out of his sight.
Zhang Chi turned to Melika and asked, "Have all of your family lived in China?"
Melika was a little confused after hearing this, and asked Zhang Chi with a blank look on her face: "Why do you say that?"
Zhang Chi said: "I don't think American families are like this."
Even if Americans have a close relationship, such as blood brothers, sometimes you are not so casual when you visit someone's home. How come Jennifer doesn't act like an American at all when she comes to her own home.
It has a very strong Chinese style.
A younger sister comes to her older sister's house and takes over her sister's property directly. She can say or do whatever she wants. This is not American at all.
After hearing this, Melika smiled and said: "She doesn't often act like this. She must have encountered something difficult now. Otherwise, she would come here once at most, and it would be impossible for her to come here a second time at this time."
"You guessed it, right?" Zhang Chi asked.
Melika said: "No need to guess, she has been like this since she was a child. If she hadn't encountered something that made her feel very important and she couldn't make a decision for a while, she wouldn't have squeezed into my life like this."
.
"Then you won't ask?"
Zhang Chi couldn't understand the way the two sisters got along. They seemed close but not close. They seemed to know each other well enough.
Melika turned back to the house and said as she walked: "When she wants to say something, she will naturally say it. If she doesn't want to say it, why should I ask? Maybe it will cause trouble for myself."
Zhang Chi was stunned on the spot. He really couldn't understand why the friendship between women was so complicated?
Melika didn't want to know too much, so Zhang Chi naturally had no interest in knowing the details.
Just as he was about to go back to the house, Zhang Chi thought of the monkey and asked his wife's back, "What should I do with the monkey?"
"If you want to keep it, keep it. If you don't want to keep it, just find a shelter organization and ask them to come and take the monkey away," Merica said.
In fact, Melika prefers the latter.
Zhang Chidao didn't think about sending the monkeys to any shelter organization right away. He was still a little interested in monkeys. Although he hadn't decided whether to keep them or not, he definitely wanted to play with them.
Anyway, it's a rainy day and he has nothing to do, and there are no children to beat, so playing with the monkey is a good choice.
When I entered the house, I was originally going to get some fruit to feed the monkeys, but as soon as I entered the house, I saw Melika coming downstairs with her mobile phone.
"Zhang Chi, cell phone!"
Melika stood at the corner of the stairs, stretching her arms towards Zhang Chi and holding his mobile phone in her hand.
"Who?"
Zhang Chi asked as he walked towards where Melika was standing.
Melika said, "Nell!"
Um?!
Zhang Chi was surprised for a moment and then thought that maybe this guy came to hug the dog.
Answered the phone.
"Hello!"
Zhang Chi said something to Nell on the other end of the phone.
"George, do you want to buy a ranch?"
Suddenly, Nell said this directly. Zhang Chi was stunned and did not answer for a while.
"What did you say?"
Zhang Chi asked.
Nell said again on the other end of the phone: "I said George, do you want to buy a ranch?"
"Buying a ranch? Whose ranch is it?" Zhang Chi said.
Melika, who was about to turn around and leave, immediately stopped when she heard about buying a ranch, turned to look at Zhang Chi, and stretched out her hand to hold on to the armrest next to her.
Nell said, "My ranch!"
"Your ranch?" Zhang Chi was even more confused now: "You want to sell a good ranch?"
Zhang Chi really couldn't understand why Nell suddenly mentioned selling the ranch now.
Nell said: "I am moving now and want to sell my current ranch. I heard a few days ago that you are planning to buy a ranch. I would like to ask if you are interested in my ranch?"
Zhang Chi did not answer directly, but asked: "What happened?"
Nell said: "It's nothing. I just don't want to do ranching anymore. I want to get some money to travel...".
Traveling?
Zhang Chi was confused when he heard this. He really couldn't understand why Nell suddenly wanted to travel.
"Of course I want to buy it, but if you want me to spend so much money all of a sudden, I probably won't be able to come up with it." Zhang Chi did not dwell on the reason for the mine.
Zhang Chi wanted to say something else, but he saw a screen placed in front of him. It was a mobile phone screen, and there was a line written on it: Ask him how much the unit price is.
Zhang Chi knew that his wife was interested, so he asked: "Nel, what is the unit price of your ranch?"
"It's more than three thousand dollars. We'll see the details later. If you're interested, come over next Wednesday and I'll hold an auction here. The highest bidder will get it..." Nell said.
Only then did Zhang Chi realize that Nell didn't want to have a private deal with him. Now that he was filming it live, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Looking at Nell's attitude just now, it seemed that he wanted to sell his ranch to himself at a relatively reasonable price. Who would have thought that this was what happened.
Although the two of them are considered good friends, it is better to be clear about this matter. It is simple and comfortable. If they hadn't been thinking about favors and relationships all day long, their life would have been too miserable.
After chatting for a few words, Zhang Chi hung up the phone.
"What's going on? Why are Nelle's family suddenly planning to sell the ranch?" Melika asked.
Zhang Chi said: "How would I know? Look at the expression on my face. I am as confused as you now."
Zhang Chi suddenly received a call saying that he wanted to sell the ranch. Zhang Chi was completely confused. There was no news at all.
Melika thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that you ran into trouble when you went into the mountains to find cattle?"
"If it's a little troublesome, why don't we sell the ranch?" Zhang Chi thought for a moment and said.
As for lending money to Nell to tide over the difficulties, Zhang Chi didn't even think about it, because there was no such operation here. Except for his own father, few Americans would lend such a large sum of money to others.
It is extremely rare to overcome any difficulties, such as the friendship between the captain and the king of bad movies.
Besides, Nell has no intention of borrowing it.
Even if he plans to borrow, Zhang Chi can't. He can raise the money, but the money he raises must be borrowed from the bank and requires interest. Zhang Chi can't let Zhang Chi go to the bank to borrow the money and then lend it to Nell.
, this matter is a bit complicated.
As for what really happened at Nell's house, Zhang Chi and his wife didn't know, but they also knew who might know.
So Zhang Chi made a call to Miller.
"Miller, I want to ask you something." Zhang Chi got straight to the point.
Miller didn't go around any more with Zhang Chi, he opened his mouth and replied: "It's about Nell, right?"
"Yeah, why is it that the pasture is suddenly being sold? Is there something wrong with finding cattle?" Zhang Chi asked.
Miller said: "It doesn't count."
..., After hearing this, Zhang Chi wanted to kill this guy directly, provided that this guy was in front of him.
What does it mean that it doesn’t count? Does it count or not?
Fortunately, Miller didn't argue with Zhang Chi and directly explained what happened to Zhang Chi.
Miller felt that he had explained it very clearly, but Zhang Chi had a lot of thoughts in his head. This mortgage, that gambling, directly made Zhang Chi's two Buddhas ascend to heaven.
Zhang Chi could understand the individual nouns, but when put together into a sentence, Zhang Chi felt it was like some kind of bible.
"Oh, oh, okay, I understand."
After listening for about five minutes, Zhang Chi felt his head hurt. Fortunately, Miller had finished speaking, so Zhang Chi said a polite word and hung up the phone.
While hanging up the phone, he asked Melika: "Do you understand?"
"I understand, but you don't have to worry. It's not that I suffered a loss, it's Nell and the others who made money this time," said Merica.
Zhang Chi was completely confused at this time. Zhang Chi had never felt that his IQ was low, but today he really felt it.
After seeing Zhang Chi's appearance, Melika explained a little to Zhang Chi.
This is a business operation model, which is quite common here in the United States. It means that everyone is going to do something, some people invest money and others contribute efforts. Depending on the progress of the work, there will be different rewards for the members.
When he was looking for the cow, didn't Nel attract a lot of people, so Nel signed an agreement. Although the cow was not found, according to the agreement, Nel would receive a sum of money.
The party who was supposed to pay had no money, so he gave the mortgage to Nell. What was the mortgage? It was a beach in Miami, including some housing facilities on it.

Just like that, Nell is going to sell the ranch here and move to Miami with a better climate.
After hearing this, Zhang Chi took a breath and said: "Originally, I thought Nell lost his pants, but who would have thought that he actually made money."
Melika smiled.
Zhang Chi quickly realized another problem and asked: "Everyone made money, so who lost money? Money can't be printed out of thin air, right?"
After hearing Melika say that Nel made money, the family who mortgaged the house to Nel also made money, so now Zhang Chi can't figure out who lost the money?
When Melika heard Zhang Chi's question, she was immediately happy. Originally, Zhang Chi was waiting for her to explain, but who knew that this woman just threw a sentence at Zhang Chi.
"You figure it out for yourself!"
After saying that, Shi Shiran pulled on his slippers and went upstairs.
What Zhang Chi doesn't understand is that Melika really doesn't want to explain this matter to him. Firstly, it's complicated, and secondly, with Zhang Chi's background in economics, it's useless to explain. It's impossible to understand because the operations here are very professional.
,Merica knew that it was definitely not Nell who had a clever mind.
Zhang Chi didn't think it through, but he felt that he might really expand the pasture this time.
