Chapter 422 How Do I Know If You Have Been Poisoned?
"From a certain point of view, Chen Yigeng is indeed the king of New York. Who dares to offend him in New York now? Half of the police in New York have been mobilized. Isn't there still nothing they can do about him?"

"Hehe, have you heard of the Great White Fleet? Our fleet is here, and with one shot, the king of New York will be wiped out!"

"Fart, which country have you ever seen fired artillery into its own city?"

"That's true. But I heard that the Great White Fleet is really strong, and the Japanese should have trouble sleeping and eating."

"The international situation is so turbulent. In my opinion, maybe in a few years, there will be a world-wide war."

"It is indeed possible. I read economic magazines saying that the economic situation is closely related to the war. Look at Wall Street. Yesterday they were advocating the market, but today it plummeted. Who can tell?"

Zhao Chuanxin was quite happy to hear them bragging.

Even ordinary people, even if they talk nonsense, can often predict the future to the point.

For example, these two people hit three things: Japan's worries, World War I, and the war's shifting of economic pressure...

He watched as Rebecca Levi was busy, and Rebecca Levi also looked up. The two eyes collided, and Rebecca Levi quickly lowered her head.

When Zhao Chuanxin finished smoking his third cigarette, he suddenly saw Arthur Gompers coming with his two apprentices.

So he stood up and greeted him: "What are you doing here?"

Arthur Gompers looked at Zhao Chuanxin in surprise: "I received a call from Sing Sing Prison. It was from the witness named Andrew Miller in the Rockefeller lawsuit. He said he had no idea and wanted to hear your opinion."

Earlier, he also told Zhao Chuanxin that this lawsuit was mostly bragging after dinner.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin had something to do with this matter.

The boss is the boss!

Zhao Chuanxin said impatiently: "I have a fart opinion. My opinion is that all the dirty water that can be splashed will be poured on Rockefeller."

"..." Arthur Gompers was speechless: "Then I should reply him like this?"

"Forget it." Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while, and he couldn't get away with a lot of things.He said: "Go and ask Abraham to go to Sing Sing Prison and talk to him, just to get to know each other. It just so happens that Abraham's cousin is also in Sing Sing Prison."

"Then what should I explain?"

"Let Abraham tell Andrew that this is the end of the matter, and he doesn't have to worry about Rockefeller attacking him."

The opening of the court has been announced to the world, and Zhao Chuanxin believes that as long as Rockefeller has a brain, he will not risk the world's disgrace to find trouble with Andrew Miller.

Rebecca Levi is indeed becoming more and more proficient. While doing things, she can also take time to peek at Zhao Chuanxin's movement.

Speaking of his uncle, Arthur Gompers couldn't help but glanced up at Rebecca Levi.

This is Abraham Cohen's cousin's wife.

Their triangular relationship is well known in the dining car gang.

Arthur Gompers admired his tall figure and generous heart, and asked: "Is that all?"

"Yes, the main thing makes him feel at ease."

"Okay, then I'll buy some sandwiches and we'll eat them on the way."

Dian Dian ran to line up.

What's so obscene about queuing up and rubbing your hands like flies?
Marguerite Gompers said: "Master, my father asked me to go to school, what should I do if I don't want to go?"

"Well, let's go, don't be like your senior brother, who actually learns something that is not too little after being beaten ten thousand times."

Benjamin Goldberg: "…"

They all learned from Master.

Marguerite Gompers pouted and said, "But it's enough for me to study with you."

Benjamin Goldberg finally couldn't help it: "It will be the same as me."

Zhao Chuanxin glared at him.

Benjamin Goldberg grinned.

The dead pig's expression of not being afraid of boiling water was exactly the same as that of Zhao Chuanxin.

If his father, Samuel Goldberg, had seen him, he would have wondered whether Zhao Chuanxin lived next door when Rachel Kvis was pregnant with Benjamin Goldberg.

"You still have to learn, but master will talk to your teacher when the time comes, and I can pick you up occasionally."

Marguerite Gompers said bluntly: "Master, my family members say that my illness is cured."

"That's right, so I can't always take you with me as a teacher. I am good at curing mental illnesses, but I am not good at curing a healthy person."

"..."

Benjamin Goldberg: What do you mean?
Arthur Gompers came back with a sandwich happily: "Children, eat."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at each of them with a crayfish sandwich, and said incredulously, "Where's mine?"

Although not necessarily proud of this one, but selling one more is money.

Old Zhao is crazy about money.

Arthur Gompers: "..."

When they left, Zhao Chuanxin took out the diary, but put it away again seeing the bustling pedestrians on the street.

He couldn't be in a place where he wasn't sure if it was dangerous or not, staring at the diary intently.

Finally, when the lunch time was almost over, Rebecca Levi got out of the dining car: "Boss, the ingredients are sold out."

Zhao Chuanxin saw that her forehead was covered with fine sweat, and she was very tired, so he said, "Then get off work."

Rebecca Levi shook her head, her voice was a little excited: "Let's go get the ingredients, let's continue in the afternoon, I think we can sell more at night."

She could foresee that as long as she worked hard, she would soon be able to close the hole in the franchise fee.

That's more than a male worker earns in the city.

At this time, the main force of breadwinners was still male workers, and the men were in charge of the outside and the women were in charge of the house.

"That's fine."

The two drove the car and walked back.

On the way, Rebecca Levi asked: "Boss, Abraham said that the regional manager will give commissions to salesmen who recruit franchisees. If I can recruit franchisees, will I also have commissions?"

"Okay, your regional manager is Abraham, you can discuss with him."

"Then can I write the words recruiting franchisees on the dining car?"

Zhao Chuanxin was taken aback for a moment: "You are quite smart."

Rebecca Levi felt embarrassed.

Zhao Chuanxin rarely praised her, and everything would be fine if he didn't train her.

"I think it's okay, but you still have to discuss it with Abraham."

Rebecca Levi suddenly said: "Boss, can I change the regional manager?"

Zhao Chuanxin frowned.

She is very sensitive, seeing this, she hurriedly said: "I just said it casually, you don't need to take it to heart."

Seeing her reaction, Zhao Chuanxin asked, "Why do you want to change the regional manager?"

Rebecca Levi bows her head: "I worry about gossip."

Zhao Chuanxin chuckled: "Abraham really cares about you."

Rebecca Levi's face turned pale: "Boss, I..."

"I'm most afraid of Abraham's sudden concern, right?"

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin grinning, Rebecca Levi suddenly got a little sulky, turned her head away and stopped talking.

Zhao Chuanxin pouted.

It was a very fulfilling day.

Zhao Chuanxin has never been so busy except for his school and art studies. Even in the battlefield, he can handle it with ease.

When the stall was closed at night, I just felt physically and mentally exhausted.

It is conceivable that Rebecca Levi must be more tired.

But she is full of energy, perhaps because she sees hope.

In fact, everyone has more or less paid for their lives. Faced with the consequences, some people choose to take the initiative, while others bear it passively.Most of the people who bear it have crossed the trough, while those who have endured it have fallen into the quagmire.

Rebecca Levi belongs to the former.

Zhao Chuanxin does not belong to the two. He is heartless and courageous. He will always be an unbeatable Xiaoqiang. mentality is completely different.

This kind of person, someone will take care of him.But those who are in a hurry will probably find out in the end that they are not as good as that kind of people.

Zhao Chuanxin sent her home.

"Can you settle the horse and cart?"

"Yes, I will clear out a place in the backyard, and I will ask someone to build a stable." Rebecca Levi bowed her head and said. "Today is the only way to go."

"Okay." Zhao Chuanxin took out the water bottle again: "You..."

Rebecca Levi summoned up her courage, raised her head and said, "Come in and sit down, and I'll make you a cup of tea."

Zhao Chuanxin doesn't care: "That's fine, as long as you are not afraid of others gossiping."

Rebecca Levi bowed her head and led the way without speaking, and Zhao Chuanxin couldn't see her face clearly.

After entering the room, Zhao Chuanxin looked it over.

There is no formal living room, but the small space is very tidy, the floor is covered with scratches, but not even a hair can be seen.

There was a very old carpet on the floor, not dirty, the color of the starch had faded badly, and the pattern was incomplete.

There is an ordinary white porcelain vase on the coffee table, and there are some dried oregano flowers in it.

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised, because here, he could not see traces of a man's life, as if Abraham Cohen's cousin had never appeared in this family.

Zhao Chuanxin sat in front of the dining table and rubbed his hand on the table, there was no oil stain at all.

Is this woman a clean freak?

Good guy, toughness, stubbornness, timidity, shyness, sensitivity, cleanliness, hard work, and frugality are all elements he hates.

How can a woman be so annoying?Really.

Zhao Chuanxin was determined to make things difficult for her, so he took out the cigarette case, lit an empty one, and threw the burnt match on the ground.

There was the sharp whistle of a kettle boiling in the kitchen.

Zhao Chuanxin leaned back so that he could roughly see the situation in the kitchen.

I saw Rebecca Levi take out an egg-sized paper package from her bag.

Zhao Chuanxin was taken aback for a moment: Damn, didn't you want to drug me?
Then he saw Rebecca Levi pinch a sliver of tea from a small paper packet, curled and long and thin like slices of Lu'an melon.

She made the tea in the teapot, and carefully put the rest in the cabinet.

So what is there to be careful about when you lose the tea?
Zhao Chuanxin pouted again.

Rebecca Levi came over with a teapot and prepared teacups and coasters for Zhao Chuanxin.

She did look at the matchsticks and soot that Zhao Chuanxin dropped on the ground, but she didn't even frown.

"Aren't you going to drink?" Zhao Chuanxin asked her seeing that there was only one cup.

"I'm not thirsty." Rebecca Levi shook her head.

"If you don't drink it, how do I know if you drugged me and poisoned me to death?"

"You..." Rebecca Levi was bitter, turned around and took another teacup, and poured it for herself.

Then he sat there, blowing on the hot air from his teacup.

Zhao Chuanxin gritted his teeth.

He just loves to drink hot tea, no matter morning or evening.Even if you drink it in the middle of the night, you won't be unable to fall asleep.It is said that drinking hot tea will lead to terminal illnesses such as oral cancer and throat cancer, but Zhao Chuanxin sometimes thinks that his life may be too long.

Appropriate reduction is also good.

He snorted and took a sip: "You just bought it today?"

"Well, go to Carnell Street and buy it at the Chinese store." Rebecca Levi said sullenly.

Carnell Street is not far from Grand Street.

Reminiscing that she went to Xinghui Catering Company very early, she should have bought it earlier from a bigger one.

Lu'an Guapian is not cheap, she should only be willing to buy a little.

Is it...

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly asked: "Does uncle drink tea?"

Rebecca Levi froze for a moment: "I don't know..."

Zhao Chuanxin was dumbfounded.

do not know?
The couple don't know whether the other half drinks tea or not?
Rebecca Levi asked nervously, "Is this tea good?"

Americans have learned their tea drinking habits from the British, and generally only drink black tea and boil it.

At the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, a tea merchant offered free iced tea to visitors.Since then, Americans have preferred iced tea to hot tea.

Rebecca Levi wasn't sure if Chuanxin Zhao would like it.

Zhao Chuanxin put on a straight face: "It's too bad to drink, you don't just pick leaves from the roadside to make tea for me, do you?"

Rebecca Levi was in a hurry and said wronged: "Abraham said you like drinking tea. I bought this tea early in the morning. It costs 50 cents an ounce..."

She suddenly stopped and stopped talking.

Zhao Chuanxin's face turned awkward.
