When Locke returned to their home in Beverly Hills, he was surprised to find that his father, Li Bo, was back.

Li Bo was sitting at the dining table with a laptop in front of him and a stack of documents next to him. He was working and chatting with Marian in the kitchen.

“Hi, dad…”

“You’re back!”

Although the relationship between the father and son has been repaired, they still don’t know how to get along.

Facing Li Bo, Locke could never be as natural as he was with Marina.

So after Locke exchanged a few words with Li Bo, he went into the kitchen, otherwise it would be awkward.

Seeing that the vegetable salad and seafood noodles were already prepared on the counter, he still asked: “Mum, do you need my help?”

Marianne held a soup spoon in her hand and shrugged: “I would be very happy if you said this half an hour ago. I’m almost done. The lamb chops and bread are being baked in the oven. Now I’m waiting for this tomato beef soup. It’s almost done…”

She scooped a little soup from the soup pot and brought it to Locke’s mouth, wondering: “Didn’t Anna say you had an action in the afternoon? I thought you couldn’t make it to dinner!”

“Work is not as important as Family Day!”

Locke took the soup spoon, drank the soup, and praised Praise: “Great, the aroma of beef is completely permeated into the soup, mixed with the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, the taste is great, I can drink three bowls, it should be ready in five minutes! Mum, this beef tomato soup has become your signature dish!”

Marianne enjoyed Locke’s flattery, took the soup spoon and complained: “Don’t think that if you say nice things, I will forget the mistake you made today!”

Locke knew that Marian was talking about his uncle’s election to return to Besquefield to run for a member of parliament, and hurriedly explained: “This matter can’t really be blamed on me, I haven’t received the confirmation letter from Jennifer yet!”

Marianne waved her hand Spoon, “If there is no definite news, why tell Anna…” Locke said indifferently: “Anyway, this matter is 90% sure. This time Sullivan Gray got a big advantage and got a seat in Congress. I feel bad!” Marian raised her eyebrows and asked, “What did you do this time?” Locke hesitated and whispered, “It involves the Hollywood female spy case of the Democratic Party. You should know it!” “Of course, all the news headlines today are about this case!” Marian’s expression froze, and she immediately thought of something and asked, “Don’t tell me that you are related to this case, J esus!!! ”

Locke hurriedly comforted him: “Don’t worry, I didn’t get involved in this case, I just provided Sullivan Gray with some clues…”

Marianne asked: “What clues?”

Locke replied frankly: “I discovered that Alyssa Johnson was a spy…”

“…”

Marianne stared at Locke in a daze, took a deep breath, and asked: “Is this risky?”

Locke shook his head and said: “No, I only told Sullivan Gray, not even Anna!”

The figures of Madeline Hill and Jane Horvath flashed through his mind. Both women were smart people. Seeing that Marian had fallen into silence, Locke briefly introduced the case of Alissa Johnson again and comforted her: “Don’t worry, it’s okay!”

He smelled that the smell of tomato beef soup became stronger, and hurriedly reminded: “Mum, the soup is ready!”

Mary Ann came back to her senses and curled her lips and said: “This case allowed Trump to get out of the mud of collusion with Russia, but only replaced a county councilor or city councilor. It’s really a loss!”

She turned her head and shouted to the outside: “Todd, can you move your things away from the table?”

Li Bo closed his laptop, “No problem, ma’am!”

He hurriedly put the stack of documents on the computer and sent it to the table next to him, and shouted upstairs: “Jet, Hannah, you can have dinner!”

Listening to the response from Jet and Hannah upstairs, Locke asked again: “Mum, has the farm in Besquefield been settled?”

Mary Ann glared at him, “Why don’t you ask your dad directly? Take all the dishes out…”

Locke was embarrassed and took out the vegetable salad and seafood noodles.

Outside, Li Bo had already cleaned up the table. Locke asked casually, “Dad, is the farm acquisition going smoothly?”

Li Bo took the grilled lamb chops sent by Marian and replied, “Very smoothly. According to your plan, both the Meridian and Alvin farms were acquired…”

Mary Ann agreed proudly, “Your dad saved a total of 8 million US dollars in the final price of this transaction!”

Li Bo’s expression revealed a bit of complacency, “There are a few documents for you to sign later!”

“No problem!”

Locke naturally knew how to play the role of a joker, and was busyAsked: “Dad, how did you do it?”

Bakersfield is one of the five major granaries in the United States. The farm located in the Central Valley Plain is definitely a high-quality land resource.

Generally speaking, there is indeed a difference between the asking price and the final transaction price, and the seller will pay less more or less.

But the 8 million less was indeed beyond Locke’s expectations.

“Hi, Locke…”

“…”

At this time, Jet and Hannah came down together, and they greeted Locke honestly when they saw him.

Locke responded with a smile, and when his eyes swept over Jet, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, and found that Jet’s expression seemed to have become more mature and generous.

I suddenly understood that this was the transformation from a boy to a man!

Marcie Davis trained well!

After Li Bo and the other two siblings greeted each other, he replied: “The two farm owners didn’t know that we would buy both farms. After they found out that we were contacting both sides at the same time, they lowered the price to each other. Since they put the farms on the market, they must want to sell!”

“Although farms in Besquefield are scarce, these two farms are not cheap, and usually, only farmers can afford them. Recently, many Chinese people who bought farms in the United States have lost a lot of money…”

“So, putting two farms on the market at the same time in one place actually has some impact on the market…”

“I took advantage of this information gap and kept them hanging. In the end, Meridian Farm dropped by 3.2 million, Alvin Farm dropped by 4.5 million, and the two farms were sold at a total price of 97.95 million US dollars…”

Locke immediately applauded and said: “Great, dad, wow, this is almost 8 million saved, almost a year’s interest saved!”

Soon all the dishes came up, tomato stewed beef, grilled lamb chops, seafood noodles, vegetable salad, bread

Well, American families don’t usually have a table full of dishes. Four or five dishes are usually considered a lot.

After eating for a while, Li Bo and Marian looked at each other and said to Locke, “Actually, there are still some things to deal with on the farm. I came back this time for another reason…”

Locke saw that Li Bo looked a little serious, so he put down the lamb chops in his hand and wiped his mouth, “What happen?”

Li Bo smiled, “I received a call from the Los Angeles Consulate. They want to invite our family to attend the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival Gala held by the Consulate…”
