The flour mill is just a facade for James's business. Those who know him well are aware that he made his fortune through the flour business, thanks to the family legacy left by the elder James. They were already a wealthy family in the Luli Street area, but no one could have imagined that behind the facade, they were even more fervent accumulators of wealth. This is something that many people are unaware of.
It was very late at night, and we accompanied James's brother to finish this unforgettable dinner, which was more like a late-night snack. We ate, chatted, and drank until around midnight.
Huang was still very clear-headed and calm. I don't know if he has a high alcohol tolerance or if he simply didn't drink much. In any case, I didn't pay much attention to him that night; all my focus was on this admirable military officer.
As soon as the adult raises his glass, I quickly fill my own glass and raise it to clink with his. I feel like he really likes this gesture.
I first observe how he drinks his wine. If he takes a small sip, I also take the same amount. If he drinks it all in one go, then I also mimic his action and drink it all at once. Later, he noticed my actions and looked at me differently, saying that I performed very well.
He is very humorous and always brings up the topic of women in our conversations at night. He seems to have a deep understanding of women as a species and can talk about it endlessly. However, from the tone of his voice, it seems that he is surrounded by many wealthy wives, who are all opportunists. He believes that women, if used properly, can achieve great things, but if mishandled, they could lead to one's downfall.
He speaks in a humorous and unrestrained manner, and we listen attentively, but it's all just superficial gossip, with no real relevance to our interests. He doesn't mention anything about work, but there was one thing about us that I made sure to listen to carefully.
That's our food and accommodation issue, we don't need to worry about it, it's already been taken care of for us. The next important thing is to make sure we keep a close eye on the construction schedule for him. This is a big task, and if he has repeatedly reminded us about it, then it must be very important.
We were led by James, it seemed like we crossed several streets, turned a few corners, and then the car stopped. James asked us to get out of the car, saying we had arrived at our place to stay. I didn't see clearly what kind of place it was at night. I knew I was drunk, and it was Huang who helped me back. I only felt that we went upstairs, there were many rooms here, and a door was opened randomly. I was helped in and then fell on the bed, and after that, I didn't know anything.
Mrs. Marina is the manager of this apartment, and it is said that she receives a very high pension. This apartment is her lifesaver. Since she separated from her lover, if it weren't for being able to come to Yi Hao Apartment to work, she might be homeless now.
We, the defendant, know that we will live here in the future, and all aspects of our daily life will be arranged by Mrs. Marina. She seems to be particularly friendly and tolerant towards me and Huang. Unlike other tenants who she is always grumpy with, sometimes not even arranging breakfast for them. I think it must be because these people owe Mrs. Marina rent money, otherwise she wouldn't treat them like this. She's really a money-loving old woman, very cunning.
