Chapter 44 44【Do not eat the food that comes from you】
"Yes, I am a very traditional person in essence. I hope to marry and have children with the woman I love for the rest of my life." Xiang Nan nodded, and then laughed at himself, "Does it sound vulgar? Not cool?"
"No." Peggy said categorically, "I think this is the coolest thing. It shows that you have courage, responsibility, and a sense of responsibility. Compared with those who only know how to pick up girls, pursue a moment of happiness, but dare not take responsibility, and don't want to be responsible. The flirtatious man is much stronger."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan smiled.
…
The two found a restaurant again, and after eating, Xiang Nan sent Peggy back to her home.
When the car drove near her house, Xiang Nan felt something was wrong.
I saw dilapidated tents set up on the sidewalk, a lot of graffiti on the walls on both sides of the street, the asphalt road was in disrepair for a long time, and there were big potholes on it, which was very bumpy.
What's even more weird is that there are people in twos and threes on the corner of the street, like hyenas hunting, constantly patrolling the street, looking at everyone who comes in and out.
Xiang Nan has no experience, but he can tell that this is not a good place.
Peggy lived here, which really worried him.
"Peggy, you can't live here anymore, it's too dangerous." He said to Peggy worriedly.
Not to mention a weak girl like her, even a grown man like him would feel a little apprehensive in his heart when he entered such a place where dragons and snakes mixed together.
"It doesn't matter. I have lived in many places before, and they are much more chaotic than here." Peggy waved her hand and smiled, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
"How can I rest assured that you live in this kind of place?" Xiang Nan said worriedly.
This is clearly a slum. They often appear in news reports and film and television dramas.
Gangsters are rampant, violence is rife, the lawless land, the land of crime. Staying here for a while is dangerous, let alone staying here for a long time.
If he doesn't know it's fine. Now that he already knew, how could he rest assured that she lived here.
"Well, I'll help you change a house later." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "Living here, you can't even guarantee your life, so why talk about a future career."
"Raj, I know you're doing it for my own good, but there's really no need." Peggy waved her hands again and again.
"Is it because of money? If so, then you don't have to worry about it." Seeing her distressed face, Xiang Nan quickly asked, "I can help you subsidize part of it. In the future, after you earn money, I will return it to you." I'll do it."
Although his salary has not increased, it is still five thousand dollars a month, but his expenses are much less.
He doesn’t play games, read comics, buy figurines, hire servants, and go to ordinary barbershops for haircuts. So not only is $5,000 totally enough to spend, but you can also have a balance of $2,000 a month.
"No, Raj, I can't spend your money." When Peggy heard this, she firmly refused.
"I didn't spend it for nothing for you, just return it to me when you have money." Xiang Nan laughed.
"That's not good, I can't accept your favor in vain." Peggy still waved her hands resolutely.
Seeing that she was so stubborn and refused to listen to others' persuasion, Xiang Nan couldn't help being a little angry.
But on second thought, he felt respect for her again.
In this world, there are many people who are greedy for money, but there are very few people who are willing to accept what they get.
"That's good. Since you don't want to accept my favor in vain, how about I ask you to be my servant? Help me clean the room once a week, one hundred dollars each time, how about it?" Xiang Nan suggested again .
"One hundred dollars for cleaning the house?" Peggy asked in surprise.
"This is already a very reasonable price. My previous servant cost two hundred dollars each time." Xiang Nan explained, "She recently asked for a raise, so I don't want to use her anymore. If you want If so, I can take over her job."
"Well, thank you, Raj, I know you are here to help me." Peggy said gratefully.
…
It was a dilapidated old building, built on a dilapidated street, and the side facing the street didn't even have glass.
There are all kinds of graffiti on the wall, which not only lacks the beauty of art, but also gives people a creepy feeling.
"I'm sorry, my house is too small, so I won't invite you upstairs." Peggy said to Xiang Nan after getting off the car.
"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "It's so late, it's not suitable for me to go up."
Seeing that he was so considerate, Peggy couldn't help but nodded gratefully.
"Go up, I'll watch downstairs. When you get home, wave to me at the window. I see you're safe, so I'm relieved." Xiang Nan instructed again.
Hearing what he said, Peggy immediately felt very heartwarming.
She has met so many people, but no one is as careful and considerate as him.
Peggy waved her hand immediately, turned and went upstairs.
Once upstairs, she turned on the light, went to the window, and looked down.
Seeing that Xiang Nan was sticking his head out and looking up upstairs, she felt warm, and then smiled and waved to him.
Seeing that she arrived home safely, Xiang Nan breathed a sigh of relief, then waved to her, started the car, and drove away slowly.
Peggy stood in front of the window and saw Xiang Nan's car disappearing around the corner from a distance, before returning to the house.
…
On the way, Xiang Nan called Lalita and asked her to come out for a drink and chat.
Lalita had been looking forward to Xiang Nan calling her all day today, so after receiving his call, she drove over immediately.
The two made an appointment to meet at Utopia Bar in Hollywood. He and Howard have always come here to pick up girls before, but they have never succeeded once.
Entered the bar, sat down at the bar counter, Xiang Nan ordered a glass of red wine, while drinking, he waited for Lalita.
"Raj, why are you here?" Just after taking two sips, I heard a surprised voice.
Xiang Nan looked back, only to see that it was Howard.
"Hey, are you here too?" He couldn't help laughing.
"Of course I'm going to be here. As a falcon, I can't stop hunting!" Howard said proudly.
"Then how many have you hunted?" Xiang Nan asked curiously upon hearing this.
After being asked by him, Howard suddenly froze, "Can't you be more kind?"
If he gets a girl, is he still alone now?
"Well, it's my fault." Xiang Nan smiled and said.
"What are you doing here, why don't you have a beautiful assistant with you?" Howard wondered.
"She's just my assistant, not my girlfriend." Xiang Nan laughed.
"So, you are single like me now?" Howard smiled happily when he heard that, "Okay, then you will be my wingman later, and we will have a good fight."
Just then, the door opened and Lalita walked in.
"Hi, this way." Xiang Nan waved and smiled.
When Lalita saw it, she immediately walked over with a smile, and then had a hot French flirtation with Xiang Nan.
Howard on the side was stunned.
