My Age of Investment

Downtown San Francisco.

There is a tall archway across Duban Street and Buster Street, standing at the mouth of the crowded Chinatown.

The archway is covered with green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and the four gilded characters "The world is the public" are shining brightly.

Passing through this "world for the public" archway, you have officially entered the largest Chinese settlement in the United States - San Francisco Chinatown.

Xia Jingxing took Christina and the puppy to walk on the bustling street, and everything he could see was full of Chinese elements.

Octagon towers, glazed tiles, huge plaques with Chinese characters, black-haired and black-eyed pedestrians rubbing shoulders...

If I hadn't seen some English billboards from time to time, I would have thought I was on a certain street in China.

Xia Jingxing came here to eat and play several times in his previous life, so he was familiar with it.

And the puppies and babes who came here for the first time were like bunnies entering the city. They felt that everything was new and everything was new, and they looked around all the way.

When Xia Jingxing saw that the foreign girl suddenly stopped leaving, he was grabbing the Chinese knot hanging from the roadside shop and researching it non-stop. He thought it was a little funny: "Okay, don't look at it, the business is important, come and play after finishing the business!"

"This is so beautiful! Wait for me, I want to buy one."

After finishing speaking, Yang Niu did not wait for Xia Jingxing to reply, and went to ask the shopkeeper for the price.

The owner is a man in his 70s who can only speak simple English. When he saw a red-haired babes shopping, he crossed his index fingers and said, "Feng Duo is dead!"

USD10.

Yang Niu felt a little expensive, looked at the little thing in her hand, it was really attractive, and was about to pay.

Xia Jingxing coughed and said in Chinese, "Master, they are all Chinese, it's cheaper!"

Only then did the uncle notice Xia Jingxing who was standing beside him. He glanced at Yang Niu again and said with a smile, "This Yang Niu is not Chinese, and $10 is not expensive."

"She is my daughter-in-law. We are all compatriots. It's cheaper to charge $1."

Neither the dog nor the foreign girl could understand Chinese, so they could only stand by and listen to the chatter between Xia Jingxing and the uncle.

The uncle is not bad. When he heard that he was a Chinese daughter-in-law, he glanced at the foreign girl and gave Xia Jingxing a thumbs up.

Xia Jingxing said a few more good words, next time he will take care of the business, bring friends to buy and so on.

The uncle smiled, there are compatriots present, it is not good to slaughter guests.

Forget it, just charge $1.

Xia Jingxing took out his wallet and paid for Christina.

The babes saw clearly and only paid a dollar, what's going on? Busy to ask.

Xia Jingxing smiled without saying a word, it was not easy for him to expose the other party on the spot because the uncle gave him such a face.

"Master, do you know how Andrew's law firm got there?"

Xia Jingxing just asked casually, but he didn't expect the other party to know.

After thanking them, the three followed the road pointed by the uncle, and finally saw the signboard of Andrew Law Firm at the end of a path.

A three-story building of some years stood quietly at the end of the street, with a mottled white exterior wall, weathered.

The first and second floors are Chinese restaurants, and the third floor is Andrew's law firm.

Take the narrow stairs to the third floor.

A Chinese girl of about 20 years old was sitting at the rudimentary front desk eating melon seeds. When she saw someone coming, she immediately stopped her movements and put on a professional smile, "Welcome to Andrew's Law Firm, may I ask the three of you? What business do you do?"

She spoke in Mandarin, and Xia Jingxing also replied in Chinese: "Let's ask little Andrew lawyer for advice."

The little Chinese girl got up and made a gesture, making an invitation: "Three, please come with me."

Kristina glanced left and right, a little disappointed, and felt that this law firm was... indescribable, like a family workshop.

She quietly pulled the sleeves of Xia Jingxing's sleeves, meaning to forget about it.

Xia Jingxing shook his head lightly and said in a low voice, "I'm here, let's talk about it."

After he finished speaking, he followed the little girl at the front desk and walked inside.

Kristina did not object to it, so she followed.

The puppy walked in the back with an indifferent look on his face.

In a cramped and poorly decorated office, the chubby little Andrew was playing CS, and the "da-da-da" sounded non-stop!

Playing games with headphones on, he didn't notice anyone coming.

The door was open, and as soon as Xia Jingxing and others approached, they could see the situation in the office clearly.

The little girl at the front desk was a little embarrassed and looked at the open wooden door, "Lawyer Andrew, there is a client~"

As if Andrew didn't hear it, his attention was all on the screen, and he was still chanting words: "Fuck, die on the street, lose the old eyes..."

interesting!

It was the first time Xia Jingxing had seen such a talented lawyer, who could switch between Chinese and English without pressure, Cantonese level 10, trash talk level 10...

The little girl at the front desk shouted a few times, but without waking Andrew up, she walked over and took off the other party's headphones.

"Ali, what are you doing?"

Andrew looked at the little girl at the front desk in surprise.

Ali pointed to the door, and Andrew looked over, thinking that he was lying.

However, with a strong heart, he didn't panic at all, he closed the game without any hassle, got up and tidied up his wrinkled suit.

Just when Xia Jingxing thought he was about to come over, this one sat down again and leaned down.

Xia Jingxing and the others couldn't see what Andrew was doing because of the cover of the table.

Ali can see clearly!

The boss is changing shoes!

Andrew kicked the flip-flops aside and put on the leather work shoes that he had put aside. He couldn't tuck his heels in, and he leaned over to help with his hands.

After finally putting on his shoes, Andrew got up quickly, strode over, held out his hands, and said with a smile: "Hello, my dear Andrew, whose Chinese name is "Ma Chenggong", you can also call me "Master Ma"."

Andrew was very fluent in Chinese and was very observant, and at a glance he recognized that Xia Jingxing was the leader and that he was Chinese.

Xia Jingxing shook hands with the other party, and also spoke to the other party in Chinese: "Hello, lawyer Ma, I was introduced by a friend. I heard that you are a good lawyer, so I came to ask you about legal matters. ."

"Oh!"

When he heard a friend's introduction, Andrew's smile became even stronger, and the fat on his face trembled.

He pointed to the somewhat outdated sofa next to him: "The three of you please take a seat, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Xia Jingxing nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down, followed by the dog.

Kristina looked at the fat man in front of him with distrust, and her eyes were full of doubts.

Dilapidated law firm, front desk that eats melon seeds, lawyers who love to play games...

All this makes it hard for her to believe that Andrew Law Firm can provide the services they want.

But she was not in a hurry to come out and sing the opposite, after all, she had to give Daeron face.

Later, as long as Andrew reveals a little bit of amateurism, she will refute him mercilessly, and then bring Daeron and the dog to find a reliable law firm again.

It doesn't matter if you spend more money, the key must be "professional".

Only then did Andrew notice a hot red-haired girl among the three, who was staring at him.

This look is so familiar to him!

Doubt, ridicule, disgust...

It doesn't matter, the self-proclaimed "strength" is never afraid that customers will look down on him, and he is afraid that no customers will come to the door.

As sung in one of his favorite songs: Indifferent people, thank you for once despising me! Let me not bow my head, a more exciting life!

After the three of them sat down, Andrew turned his head to look at the little girl at the front desk and instructed, "Ali, go and get my Yuqian Longjing."
