The Legend of Return
Chapter 296. Chinatown (1)
“I don’t understand the boss.”
“What do you mean?”
“Steven Matthews is a tricky guy. No investor has ever been treated like a boss. To even have a drink with him in the evening… I am amazed.”
Robert Ryan was genuinely surprised.
After hitting the jackpot with his smartphone, rumors circulated that Stephen Matthews delighted in scorning investors at their doorstep.
The stock price soared day by day.
Steven’s nose, who owned a substantial stock with Cook, skyrocketed.
From the very beginning, he was not interested in money.
Steven Matthews was using Apple as a way to make his dreams come true.
I met him because he was about the same as Robert.
Steven’s pride skyrocketed as much as Apple’s stock price was skyrocketing.
The amazing features of iFun continued to be admired around the world.
It was to the point where a new word, Apple Shinto, was born.
I had dinner with Stephen Matthew, the real owner of Apple.
Steven, who said he didn’t even drink alcohol, enjoyed wine with the boss.
The conversation between the two was unintelligible.
Philosophical conversations about life and death were the main focus.
Discussions about the future and various development directions were exchanged.
It was about the future food that the boss said.
There was a wide range of conversations about the 4th Industrial Revolution, including 5G, autonomous vehicles, optogenetics, metabolic engineering, and artificial intelligence.
The two looked at each other and admired.
The slang only for geniuses reached Robert’s ears.
The content that I did not know even after hearing it exceeded the placenta.
When talking about the world changing to borderline, Robert gave up understanding and focused on drinking.
I knew it wasn’t something I could do anything about.
The conversation continued late into the night.
A pleasant voice filled Steven’s villa as they emptied the wine and continued to drink tea.
The two became friends regardless of age.
After spending precious time together until lunch the next day, we broke up.
When Stephen Matthews said goodbye, he hugged the boss and called out “brother.”
The boss also gave Stephen a warm hug.
I became a real colleague in one night.
“There is a saying in the East that anyone can be a teacher and a friend if they can learn something. Steven and I are like that too.”
“Boss is like a god, but I was shocked that Steven also has a great vision for the future. I have become shabby.”
“Robert… you are more to me than Stephen. If Steven is a comrade you can talk to, Robert is like a blood brother.”
“Boss…..”
A boss who knows how to impress people.
Robert felt his heart, which was ashamed of his ignorance, be relieved.
“I need a lawyer.”
“yes?”
“I talked to Steven. To buy half of his stock posthumously at the market price.”
“ah!”
“It is a secret agreement. It should never be known.”
“I will prepare you as an expert.”
A great thing happened in one day.
I don’t know when Steven will die, but I promised to give a lot of Apple stock to the boss.
This was something that was difficult to promise even to the brothers.
It was said to be the market price, but it is a big deal that could make Apple a major shareholder.
A calm boss even in such a situation.
“I respect you!”
Robert bowed his head.
Regardless of age, this was a natural echo of the mind that could not be helped.
“I want friendship more than respect.”
“My love for Boss is greater than my heart for my father!”
said Robert without hesitation.
“thank you. Robert.”
Windy Robert’s cottage.
Robert took a day off today.
There wasn’t much time to fully talk to the boss.
Moreover, the boss promised to perform an oriental mystic treatment today.
Once received, life changed.
I could have given all of my life, not just respect.
He was the boss who quickly turned him from a Wall Street junkie into a giant that draws attention.
If it wasn’t for the boss, he might have died homeless and become a ghost on Wall Street.
Thousands of destitute people pouring out of Wall Street amid the US economic downturn.
News of Hudson River suicides poured in every single day.
“By the way, did my staff not come back?”
“I went out with my bodyguards. You don’t have to worry.”
“is it so?”
A boss with an uneasy expression on his face.
The complexion gradually hardened.
***
“What’s wrong with you, sister? What’s going on?”
“uh? That’s…”
“Why don’t you feel good?”
“….I do not know. I don’t know what it is, but it’s embarrassing.”
“I have two bodyguards I can trust. don’t worry. It’s my college alumni meeting, what’s going on? It’s the heart of Wall Street, where the crime rate here in America is low. don’t worry.”
“Okay~.”
Do-hee suddenly received a call from her friends.
It was an invitation from a classmate from the Department of Economics at Princeton University whom I met by chance at the villa.
It was about having dinner with college alumni who work on Wall Street.
The representative disappeared the day before yesterday.
It didn’t seem like an encounter with Sarah Johansson, who seemed like an American vixen.
It didn’t feel good though.
He resembles his father, Chairman Do Woon-joong, who claimed that the world is wide and there are many women.
Then the call came.
It was about meeting up with alumni and having a meal and chatting.
It was close and Robert attached a bodyguard, so he responded lightly.
Boss agreed.
I moved with Kim Han-byul.
Kim Han-byul, who did not fall for her looks and was quick-witted, was a welcome presence anywhere.
Moreover, he had the ability to foresee the future.
Do-hee, who was embarrassed by the prophecy a while ago, accompanied Kim Han-byul.
I threw Wall Street as bait.
Kim Han-byul, who had nothing to do, followed.
Kim Han-byeol, who had only been active in Hong Kong or Asian countries, was also curious about the United States.
“Wow….. Wall Street is the real Wall Street.”
“How is it better than Hong Kong?”
“Hmm… the taste is different. It’s definitely the American style on a big scale. Hong Kong was also ruled by the British, but the land is so small that it doesn’t have this taste.”
Kim Han-byul did not hold back his admiration for Wall Street, lined with huge buildings.
Hong Kong was once called the world’s financial center, but its reputation has faded.
After the handover to China, a lot of financial capital withdrew.
The Asian investment boom has been strong, but not the same as in the past.
The Chinese government guaranteed that there would be no interference in internal affairs, but few believed it.
It was human psychology that I felt frustrated even if I lived freely and was restricted by only one.
I hate that, talented people from Hong Kong migrated to the UK or Canada.
In contrast, Wall Street has become the center of global finance.
The huge buildings and the busy footsteps of people coming and going represented the appearance of Wall Street.
“Before meeting the CEO, I tried to return to Wall Street, but these days I feel comfortable in Korea. Unnie, racism is rampant here too. Even for a beautiful woman like me, there are a lot of guys who tear their eyes out.”
“That’s why they say they like my home, my hometown, and my country, even if it’s shabby.”
It was the sincerity of Kim Han-byul, who grew up as an orphan and realized the importance of her country in Hong Kong.
“Sister… tell me something appropriate for your age. You look like an auntie!”
“What are you talking about. Face value, I’m younger~.”
“I admit that.”
Do-hee Do-hee and Han-byeol Kim arrived on Wall Street in a limousine driven by a bodyguard.
After chatting, we arrived at our destination in no time.
“This is…..”
“It’s Chinatown. Across the street is Italy Town. Are you fine?”
Chinatown is located on a street in the heart of Manhattan.
“Chinatown? Will we meet here?”
“My friends love dim sum here. It’s a complete restaurant. Does your sister like dim sum too? It’s comparable to restaurants in Tsim Sha Tsui. After work, if I have dim sum and a glass of cold draft beer, my fatigue is gone.”
Do Do-hee licked her lips.
His eyes twinkled as if he was thinking of the past.
It was the complete opposite of his usual strict and cold image.
“I see…”
Kim Hanbyul’s face hardened as she replied.
“why? What do you really see?”
“No… that’s not the case… it’s weird.”
“what?”
“Can we go somewhere else?”
“no. I mean you made an appointment. Three of my college friends are getting together. I want to get the latest Wall Street information and be loved by the CEO. There is a lot of high-quality information that cannot be obtained in Korea.”
“I will park.”
“Thank you~. Bill.”
Suddenly the car stopped.
Two bodyguards got off first and opened the door.
Do Do-hee in a red two-piece suit and Kim Han-byul in a black one-piece got off in turn.
Thanks to the representative, the two beauties, wearing several luxury suits and full accessories, got off and all eyes were on them.
“Are you an Asian model?”
“I don’t think you are Chinese?”
“Japanese? Or Korean?”
People passing by Chinatown whispered.
In particular, the same Asians showed explosive interest.
Slender beauties in dresses were hard to see here.
Chinatown is mostly visited by tourists wearing jeans and comfortable clothes.
The appearance of the two beauties was like a blessing.
“Let’s go in, sister.”
“Yeah~.”
Even when she was a Hong Kong guide, Kim Han-byeol was exceptionally beautiful, but this kind of interest was unfamiliar.
She looked like a New York celeb in a suit.
I felt better than I thought.
No matter what anyone says, Kim Han-byul is still a youth more beautiful than flowers.
“Parking spaces are tight today…..”
“Jeff. go first I’ll park and go.”
Bill and Jeff got out of the car and checked the parking lot.
The parking space for about 20 cars was full.
A parking lot was needed here to protect the key factor.
The restaurant parking manager was nowhere to be seen.
In other places, there was a distance between parking and moving.
Manhattan, New York, is the most difficult place to park in the United States.
“Bill~ Aren’t the beauties amazing today?”
“It is an order from above. I told you never to show any interest or show any interest. If you don’t want to be cut off in difficult times, don’t care.”
“Tch~ Bill, you don’t know the romance of a bodyguard. My friend met a famous singer and took care of it.”
“I prioritize organizing orders over romance.”
Bill, who became a bodyguard today, was sensitive.
I don’t know about Jeff, the newcomer who recently joined, but the atmosphere around him was unusual.
The parking lot behind the building was full.
Unlike the flashy front, the twilight lights of the streetlights felt dreary.
I couldn’t park a single spot as if someone had occupied it in advance.
Bill, a mercenary who participated in several wars, including the Iraq War, was on edge.
I skipped Jeff’s nonsensical jokes and looked around.
Chok sent a warning.
I don’t know what it was, but the danger signal was clear.
And…..
“Brothers~ You can’t park here~.”
A few Chinese people suddenly appeared from one side of the parking lot and started a fight.
“what? Aren’t they Chinese?”
Seeing the short Chinese, Jeff put on a puzzled expression.
Jeff was discharged after serving in the special forces, but has never experienced a battlefield.
I didn’t see the Chinese people who were arguing with me laughing.
“Vital guests are using this restaurant. Don’t argue and get out of the way.”
Bill nervously checked the gun tucked away in his left chest.
Manhattan was full of cops.
If necessary, you could get their help.
‘These bastards have a purpose!’
Bill instinctively sensed danger.
The Chinese people who were openly laughing at Jeff came closer.
“Hehe. I’m like the Chinese who lost their heads~ Do you know who I am? I am Jeff, a Navy SEAL…”
Jeff reached out to the approaching Chinese.
That moment.
The hand of the Chinese man in front of him moved like lightning.
The hand toward Jeff moved like a bee.
Tak Tak! Puck puck buck!
In an instant, Jeff’s arms and legs were hit.
“Kuk!”
Jeff can’t even scream properly and collapses on the floor with his knees bent.
Even in the midst of pain, his eyes trembled violently at the unbelievable situation.
“Don’t move!”
Bill wants to draw a gun.
I love you.
Something flew through the air.
puck!
“Ugh!”
A sharp object lodged in the right arm with the gun drawn.
Bill felt his hands go numb in an instant and his mind went numb.
Memorization smeared with a strong anesthetic.
A syringe-shaped memorization was already stuck in Jeff’s shoulder.
“Sleep deeply. You guys have no regrets~ hehehe.”
I heard English with a Chinese accent in my ears.
‘Damn it…..’
And that was Bill’s last memory.
