Chapter 275 Confirming One Thing

"Is someone looking for me?" Su Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Is that gentleman an American or an Oriental?"

"It's not an oriental person, it's a white person." The waiter said.

Since he is not an Oriental, he must be a Westerner. As for whether he is an American, he may not be sure.

"Okay." Su Chen took out a five-dollar knife and gave it to the waiter: "I see, I'll go out and have a look now."

After receiving the tip, the waiter smiled and said, "The gentleman at the door is about fifty, he is very clean, he doesn't look like a homeless man, but I asked him for his identity information, but he didn't say anything, just let me inform you, said If you don't go out, you may regret it, and let you go out alone."

"I see." Su Chen nodded.

Looking for Avril with a glass of wine: "Haney, I'm going out for a while, I'll be back soon, there are people looking for me outside, please greet these people for me first."

"Okay, then come back quickly." Avril nodded.

Generally, people in big families are good at communication, so there is naturally no problem for them in this kind of occasion.

After putting down the cup, Su Chen went out from the hotel.

He saw that there was indeed a man standing at the door, and after a closer look, he did not recognize him.

But I don't know if this man is looking for his own person.

And the man on the opposite side was also looking at him. About ten seconds later, the man said, "Su, right? I'm the one looking for you."

"Hello, who are you?" Su Chen thought about it again, he really didn't know this man, and he didn't know why he came to find him.

The man said, "I'm Miranda's father, Eaton..."

Oops, this future father-in-law actually came to the door, Su Chen hurriedly said: "Mr. Eaton, please come inside."

"No need." Eaton shook his head: "Let's go to the cafe opposite and have a cup of coffee together."

"Mr. Eaton, please." Su Chen said.

The two crossed the road and came to the cafe.

After ordering two cups of coffee, Eaton spoke first, "Is Miranda dating you?"

"Yes." Su Chen admitted generously, although he didn't know where he got the news, but since he came here to ask, it must be someone's channel.

Eaton stirred the coffee a few times with a spoon, and then said, "In addition to Miranda, Professor Aile's daughter is also dating you, isn't it?"

Where did you get this news?
Su Chen simply nodded and admitted: "Yes, Mr. Eaton."

"In the few months since you came to the United States, you have published two books. Many professors are full of praise for you, and you have contacts with many people. That young man Mankiw is also full of praise for you."

Eaton said slowly: "Although Miranda didn't say that she was dating you, I already knew these things. When I learned that she was dating the same man as Avril Lavigne, I wished I could kill that man."

"Excuse me, Mr. Eaton, is there anything you want to come to me tonight?" Su Chen asked, "Could it be to tell me these things? I think it's better to go to the hotel, let's have a drink together, and then chat."

Eaton narrowed his eyes and looked at him, then shook his head: "It's not convenient for me to show up tonight, and I can't let Miranda know that I came to see you."

"Then you don't object to Miranda dating me?" Su Chen asked. After all, according to the normal logic, there is usually a drama of preventing the relationship, and then the protagonist endures revenge.

Eaton looked surprised: "Why should I prevent you from dating? It's not me from dating you."

Hearing this sentence, Su Chen couldn't help wondering, isn't Miranda Eaton's own daughter?
Moreover, many families in the United States are married to each other. For example, the Lawrence family where Brian belongs is married to the big families of the Boston Consortium in order to ensure the influence of the family.

But also for mutual benefit.

But this is not just the United States. In many places, including China, many big families marry each other for their own interests.

Moreover, there are some political marriages. For those of these big families, they must always be prepared to sacrifice for the family.

"I just want to meet you." Eaton said, "I'm more curious. A person who has only been in the United States for less than half a year can accumulate such a wide network of contacts in such a short period of time, and he has done so much. matter."

"Is Mr. Eaton disappointed?" Su Chen asked.

Eaton shook his head: "There is nothing to be disappointed, because Miranda may not marry you in the future, right? If that is the case, why should I have other thoughts?"

"Then Mr. Eaton has seen me now, I wonder if there is anything else that needs to be explained?" Su Chen didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore.

Even Miranda's father, he doesn't like this kind of old fritters very much.

Eaton said, "I want to confirm one thing with you."

"Mr. Eaton, please tell me."

"When you and Miranda went to New York, were you the one who shorted gold futures with 500 million principal and 50 times leverage?" Eaton stared at Su Chen.

Su Chen shook his head: "How could it be me? I haven't received the manuscript fee now, how can there be 500 million US dollars? But if Mr. Eaton is willing to lend me the money, I would like to try it."

"Well, it looks like I made a mistake."

Eaton suddenly smiled: "If you are the one shorting gold, I will definitely splash this cup of coffee in your face. Go, go back and continue your reception. Don't tell Miranda that I have been here."

Su Chen nodded: "Mr. Eaton, see you later."

With that said, he got up and walked outside.

Eaton drank his coffee slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Su Chen was very upset about how the First Boston Bank kept its confidentiality measures.

Another thing, what is Eaton's purpose in looking for him?
Are you just here to see yourself?
Or is it to confirm the gold futures with myself?

Gold futures cannot be stopped by manpower. The U.S. government also thought about bailing out the market, but it didn't work.

He returned to the hotel in a daze.

"Hi, Sue, where have you been?" Ian opened his mouth and yelled, "Dude, come quickly, let's talk."

Avril came up and asked in a low voice: "Su, your complexion is not very good, is something wrong?"

"It's okay." Su Chen said with a smile: "It's just going out to meet a friend, but he doesn't like this kind of occasion."

……

Eaton slowly drank his coffee and was about to leave the cafe when the waiter stopped him: "Hello, sir, you haven't paid yet."

Hearing this, Eaton's face froze instantly.

After asking the price, he paid the bill, and when he got outside, he looked up at the hotel, then turned around and stopped a taxi to leave.

The reception lasted for almost two hours, and everyone left one after another.

After dealing with the expenses of the reception and some matters, Su Chen also left with Avril Miranda and returned to the house. Su Chen did not tell Miranda about seeing Eaton.

The next day was Monday, and the three of Su Chen went to school early in the morning.

After just two classes, Professor Ayler hurriedly called him to the office.

"Su, I have good news for you..."
