Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty-Five
As the night fell and the lights came on, Los Angeles was once again beautifully decorated with bright neon lights, and the whole city became illusory. ●⌒
Good-looking men and women started their nightlife, social celebrities also started their activities, bars began to be overcrowded, and long queues began to line up in front of nightclubs.
Joan left the luxury hotel she was renting and drove to the new home of her little boss Kim Hyun-tae. She had no time to appreciate the scenery along the way.
Along the spacious road, without much traffic, Joann only took 12 minutes to enter the Beverly Hills mansion area, and after another three minutes, she arrived at the gate of her little boss's new home.
The dense green morning glory vines covered the high walls around the mansion, adding a little bit of vitality.
The mansion Kim Hyun-tae bought was originally the mansion of Tony Murphys, a supermarket chain tycoon on the west coast. Recently, the supermarket chain tycoon on the west coast was not doing well, and there were some financial problems, so he sold the house for in exchange for some cash.
That's why Kim Hyun Tae was able to buy this place.
33 acres is not insignificant.
You know, the area of 1 acre is equivalent to the area of 6 mu in Huaxia, even if it is converted into square meters, it is more than 4,000 square meters.
So 33 acres covers an area of 120,000 square meters.
Of course, although Kim Hyun-tae's new home covers an area of 33 acres, the actual house does not occupy such a large area. This includes lawns, basketball courts, tennis courts, swimming pools, and even other facilities. land area.
But even so, such an area is not small, isn't it?
For this, Kim Hyun-tae spent 89 million US dollars in cash. At the same time, he has to pay 1.78 million US dollars (2%) in real estate taxes every year, as well as property management fees and other related expenses. greatly increased.
However, the living environment has become better than before, which is also visible.
Besides, judging from the cash that Kim Hyun-tae currently has in hand. It is not at all difficult to afford these.
Qiao An called Jin Xiantai at the door, and then Jin Xiantai notified the guard to open the big iron gate for Qiao An.
Kim Hyun-tae's new home looks a bit like a manor from the outside. After entering through the gate, there is a path inlaid with cobblestones. There are some dense small trees planted on both sides of the road, and there are small street lamps about half a meter high at intervals. And there are some Romanesque sculptures.
After driving for about a minute, a brightly lit mansion appeared at the end of the path. At night, this building is obviously much more beautiful than during the day.
The Spanish palace-style architectural structure makes it look like a palace as a whole. It's just mixed with some American styles.
The main building has four floors, three floors on the ground and one floor underground. It has a structure of 36 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, and the interior decoration is extremely luxurious.
Of course, this is the decoration style of the previous owner, not Kim Hyun-tae's at all.
As a second-hand buyer, of course, this will be very helpless.
Fortunately, the previous owner had good taste, so even Kim Hyun-tae didn't like this decoration style. But it's enough to make him accept it.
There is also a separate building on both sides of the main building, which are respectively for servants and security personnel, and the layout is also very reasonable.
In front of the main building, there is a lawn and flower garden with a large French garden layout. And also built a big fountain.
After parking the car in front of the main building, Joan opened the door and walked down. When he looked up, he saw his little boss who had been waiting there for a long time.
"My little boss, when you called me just now, I was still doing yoga. It's okay for a woman my age not to take care of her body. You are not considerate at all."
Joan walked straight towards Kim Hyun-tae. At the same time, he also complained teasingly.
Facing Qiao An's teasing and complaints, Jin Xiantai showed a helpless expression, looked at her with apologetic expression and said: "No way, I don't want to look for you at night, but after all, something happened now. At worst, I'll give it to you later. The salary increase can be regarded as making up for it a little.”
Hearing what Jin Xiantai said, Qiao An immediately became serious. After all, she didn't really want Jin Xiantai to raise her salary or anything. You must know that she was in another place and was still receiving a generous salary.
"Just kidding, my little boss, why are you so serious. My job is to be your life assistant. Don't say you are looking for me now, even if you are looking for me in the middle of the night, I will rush over here."
Qiao An didn't want Jin Xiantai to misunderstand, thinking that he took the opportunity to threaten a salary increase or something.
If this matter gets to the real boss Annie, Joan can't imagine what kind of anger he will face.
Therefore, Qiao An felt that it would be better for him to explain a little bit.
"Where's cocoa?"
After Qiao An explained to Kim Hyun-tae, he changed the topic.
Kim Hyun-tae raised his finger and pointed to his left side: "Playing with the dogs over there, the new home has a big lawn for her to go crazy, so the little guy will play with the dogs there every day."
Qiao An looked in the direction of Jin Xiantai's finger, and sure enough, he saw Little Coco who was playing with the dogs and rolling all over the floor.
"Exuberant little girl, she is very lively."
Qiao An also likes to laugh at Keke. I don't know why, but Little Keke is so attractive. This is really an unsolvable thing.
In short, whoever is with her will slowly fall in love with her.
God knows if this is some factor brought about by the space-time tunnel.
But no matter what, the daughter is likable, and Kim Hyun-tae, as a father, is still honored and happy to see the situation.
"Let's go, let's talk as we go."
Now that Qiao An has arrived, Kim Hyun-tae is ready to enter the topic directly, so he lifts his legs and walks towards his daughter, and at the same time calls Qiao An to let her follow him.
Hearing this, Qiao An immediately followed, pretending to be listening.
"It's not so convenient to talk on the phone. The Japanese fund called me half an hour ago. Their words were full of threats. They just wanted me to withdraw the compensation lawsuit. What do you think of this matter? "
It was already mid-April at this time, and the daytime temperature in Los Angeles had reached about 23 degrees. However, due to the large temperature difference in the area, the temperature at night is a bit low, so Kim Hyun-tae is wearing a very ordinary white pullover, loose jeans, and canvas shoes, which makes him look like a little rich man.
Joan is no longer dressed in a professional suit during the day, but is wearing a hip-hop style, a miniskirt, a pink T-shirt, and a jacket with glittering accessories. High-top sneakers and even a black baseball cap.
This kind of dress made the 24-year-old Qiao An look like a high school girl. Of course, her figure was much better than that of a high school girl.
Qiao An is not tall, she is a petite woman, but despite her not-so-high height, her body proportions are super perfect. Especially those two balls on the chest.
Well, it seems that Qiao An also wore a light pink lipstick, which made her look even more attractive.
But it's a pity that although Joan is dressed very attractively. But Kim Hyun-tae didn't have the slightest male-female interest in her, because Kim Hyun-tae knew very well that Qiao An was a lesbian.
And Jin Xiantai guessed in private that after Qiao An finished dealing with his own affairs, maybe he was going to a nightclub to pick up girls.
Of course. This is Joan's personal problem, and it's not his turn to worry about it.
"Boss, it doesn't matter what I mean. The important thing is do you have any ideas?"
Qiao An kicked the question back, and at the same time felt that this little boss was really indecisive.
In her opinion, there is no embarrassment in this matter. The reason why the Japanese called and threatened is obviously because they themselves know that they are likely to face the worst result in a compensation lawsuit.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to call and say something threatening, wouldn't they?
"What do I mean?"
Kim Hyun-tae thought for a moment upon hearing this.
Joan nodded and said: "That's right, the most important thing about this matter is your own opinion. And George and I really can't help with this, at most we just give some suggestions, and it's you who decides myself."
Qiao An is right, Jin Xiantai has to make up his own mind about this matter, and others can't help.
"I think the Japanese reacted like a dog jumping over the wall. At the same time, I don't want to give up such a good opportunity. If I can get n TV station and "West Bund Current Affairs" newspaper in this way, then why don't I give it a try. You know this But businesses that money can’t buy.”
bingo!
Joan raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and echoed with a smile on his face: "That's right, little boss, that's the fact. The Japanese obviously saw this too, and they assessed that after Little George filed a lawsuit, there is a great possibility Sex will work out like this, and that's why they're so disturbed and they made this move."
For this question, Qiao An obviously has a more thorough understanding than Kim Hyun-tae. Basically, it is the same as what she said, the Japanese are now such a psychological dynamic.
Joan continued at this time: "Think about it, if there are other ways, would the Japanese do this? After all, doing so is very bad, and it is the most undesirable way and means But it can also be seen from here that the Japanese really have nothing to do now.
So I suggest you, little boss, you must grit your teeth and persevere, and don't be afraid of their threats, just don't panic. "
Regarding this matter, Jin Xiantai has made a decision, but he dare not take the threat of the Japanese lightly.
After all, it was about the safety of myself and my daughter.
Qiao An himself said that the Japanese have nothing to do now, so Jin Xiantai can't guarantee that the desperate Japanese will not go to extremes.
So he turned his head around with a sad face, and said to Joan, "I'm worried that the Japanese will really jump the wall and go to extremes. What should we do if such a problem really occurs?"
Joan thought about it, and felt that the little boss was worried for a reason, so he said to him: "Didn't you ask me to contact the security company? I think you should strengthen the security at home and when you travel during this time. There is no problem." (To be continued.)
