Chapter 8: The Sensation of Chinatown!
Chinatown was the area with the most Chinese Americans in the United States. In the eyes of foreigners, it was a small-scale Chinese city.
However, despite this, the most common people to visit here were Americans and foreigners.
Other than the people in every shop being Chinese, there were no other Chinese visitors.
At this moment, the place had attracted a large number of reporters, all kinds of soldiers, and bullet-proof vehicles.
In the United States, there was only one person who could make such a luxurious entrance, and that was the President of the United States!
Chinatown welcomed the arrival of the President!
Both the tourists and the Chinese who were doing business in Chinatown felt that it was strange. The President of the United States did not have much time to drink tea here, everyone knew that. Moreover, although politicians visited Chinatown, having the President visit was a big shock… Unless it was a special commemorative day, why would he come here?
Not only did the President come to Chinatown, but he also brought a large group of people with him.
The place he visited was a shop that had not opened for business for more than ten years.
This shop had been in existence for more than ten years. The rent of this shop was at least 500,000 USD a month. Everyone who did business in Chinatown knew that even if the business was bad, the daily turnover could reach at least 200,000 USD.
There were so many tourists in and out of Chinatown, and there were lots of people here during the peak season.
Because this shop had not opened once in more than ten years, there was only a signboard on it and nothing else.
Because of this, the origins of this shop had attracted the curiosity of many people, and there were all kinds of guesses about it.
What kind of person would be able to have such a shop in such a location and still not open for business?
This was rather confusing.
And today, not only did this shop open for business, but it also welcomed the President.
After today’s events, the people who were watching the show felt that this shop was not simple. There was clearly more to it.
Everyone was eager to know why the President had come to this shop. If the President came to a shop to eat, regardless of whether the food was good or not, it would immediately attract countless customers. This was the draw of a celebrity. They could bring business to a place.
Therefore, it caused them all to be shocked.
However, what they didn’t know was that there were only two people in this restaurant…
One was a young man, and the other was the President of the United States.
They saw that there was a young man who looked to be less than thirty sitting inside. If they knew who it was, they would gasp for a breath.
Why did such a person come to Las Vegas and receive a personal reception from the President of the United States? Moreover, the President came in person. If the heads of other countries came to the United States, they would be received at the White House. There was no reason for the President to personally go to other people’s shops.
And this person was actually able to make the President personally come here to receive them!
As everyone was guessing, a scene that could shake the world was playing out in the shop.
***
In the shop, the President of the United States was speaking to the young man. The young man was looking at the scenery outside the window with a melancholic expression.
“Borg, the general election is starting next month. Can you do it later?”
The glass was soundproof; therefore, the people outside could not understand what was happening inside. They couldn’t hear a word that was being said.
The young man, who was watching the scenery, did not reply to the President of the United States. He looked out of the window quietly and enjoyed the scenery, as if he had not heard anything.
Seeing this, the President shook his head helplessly. He knew that Borg had already made up his mind. Now, no one could change his decision…
This made the President of the United States very sad, because he did not want to make such a mess at this moment in time.
Next month was the general election, which would decide who’d be president for the next four years. He did not want to mess up his chances of securing another term.
And the appearance of Borg was something he was most afraid of.
There was never a calm moment when Borg appeared. Every time he appeared, the blood of countless people would be spilled.
However, the President could not persuade him, so he could only give up trying to.
Borg was like that. Once he had made up his mind, he would not change it. So, the President thought of another topic to talk about.
Then, he opened his mouth again.
“From the moment you came here, I knew you had made up your mind. I have issued a red notice, blaming this matter on the terrorists. Apologize to Judith. I did not expect her to be injured!”
After the President finished speaking, he stood up and went to leave the cafe. When he reached the door, he hesitated before speaking again.
“This matter has been resolved. If you have nothing else to do, come over to my place. I have a bottle of ’82 Lafite that hasn’t been opened yet…”
After he finished speaking, he left without looking back. The sound of his footsteps became softer and softer.
As for the young man, he picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. Then, he looked at the scenery outside the window again.
No one noticed that his expression was very still. There was no fluctuation at all. No one could tell what he was thinking.
No one knew how many things this young man had experienced in his short life.
***
A day passed very quickly.
The sun rose to the east, shining across the whole city, reflecting brightly in the windows of the buildings. A new morning had dawned. Everything was so harmonious, as if nothing had happened.
The early risers rubbed their eye, made breakfast, and prepared for a busy day.
Borg got up early and did not act as lazily as the previous day, and the days before that. If Judith saw her father now, she would definitely be shocked.
Because her father’s current behavior was something she had never seen before. He had never gotten up so early at home!
Judith would always call to Borg when she was ready to go out, and after saying bye to her, Borg would flip over and go back to bed.
Judith had complained to him countless times about this…
But today, Borg got up without anyone waking him up!
When he had finished washing and getting ready, he slowly pushed open the door of the coffee shop and let the sun shine on his incredibly handsome face.
A new day had well and truly dawned. And now it was time to take care of business!
