Chapter 96 You really care about me

Rex said and ran to his room. He needed to get his usual medicine to check.

Locke found Ashley sitting at a dining table.

"Hey!" Locke greeted Susan and Mike who were sitting with Ashley.

Seeing the food on Mike and Susan's plates, Ashley said, "What do you think of this roast chicken?"

"It's very good. Did you prepare it?" Mike asked.

"That's right." Ashley smiled: "It's just Chinese-style roast chicken, which tastes different from what we have here."

"Can you cook Chinese food?" Susan was a little shocked.

Many Chinese dishes are complicated to prepare, and many Americans know them, so they basically don’t cook them.

Susan couldn't help but look at the large German sausages bought at the mall placed on the barbecue, and felt pressured by her cooking skills.

Among the dishes everyone brought, the beggar's chicken dish was the most distinctive. Locke specially sent people to Chinatown to order lotus leaf hemp rope.

Although it is still not as good as the authentic lotus leaf beggar's chicken, the packaging looks very high-end.

For example, those brand chocolates are packaged in gold foil, which makes people think they are high-end at first glance.

With the lotus leaf wrapper, the aroma will burst out after the food is opened, which is particularly tempting.

Mike and Susan were attracted by the smell, and finally managed to get two chicken thighs.

After trying it just now, I felt that the chicken was soft and tender. It also smelled of wine when I tasted it. It was not as spicy as ordinary roast chicken. The taste was slightly sweet, which really suited their taste.

This dish of beggar's chicken is not an orthodox recipe. Locke specially modified it. After all, most people around him eat food that is more sour and sweet.

"This is really surprising. This roast chicken is the best I have ever tasted!" Mike praised with a chuckle, and then said to Locke: "I didn't know you had the job you told me about two days ago. No suitable candidate was found.”

"Not yet." Locke said, "You are asking now, are you planning to take this job?"

"If you haven't decided on the candidate yet." Mike nodded.

"Welcome to join." Locke smiled and shook Mike's hand: "Can you let me know what made you change your mind?"

"You know, I proposed to Susan the other day, and Susan and I were planning a future wedding, and then I realized that I might need some extra income," Mike said.

Locke's security company has set up a structure and has initially recruited a small number of bodyguards. It is now mainly responsible for the safety of Ashley, Peggy and Tang Wei.

At the same time, the training center and dormitories on the farm have been designed and ready to be constructed.

The job he was going to give to Mike was to supervise the pipe laying of the training center on the farm, and he offered a good price.

The farm is some distance away from Meijing Town, and it takes a lot of time to drive back and forth. This means that he will have very little time to spend with Susan. He has just been engaged to Susan, so naturally he doesn't want to do this.

Plumber was not a well-paying profession to begin with, and he did not have much savings. Mike had received a sum of money from a rich man, and most of it had been turned into his wedding ring.

For Susan, she naturally wants a perfect wedding, which is the same for every girl. Mike can only fully support this, at least not to be compared to Susan's lawyer ex-husband.

According to the custom here in the United States, when a girl gets married, her natal family has to bear the wedding expenses. American families who have the conditions will prepare a wedding fund for their daughters.

But this was Susan's second marriage, and naturally she couldn't have any wedding funds. Mike and Susan had to prepare the wedding expenses themselves.

After calculating the funds that may be needed, Mike found that he would not be able to earn enough money by doing the odd jobs he did in the past.

That's why I thought of taking the job offered by Locke.

After figuring out the reason, Locke smiled and said:

"The wedding is indeed a big event, and I will definitely support it. Well, I have a French manor over there on the farm. You can go and have a look. If you are satisfied, it can be used as the venue for your wedding. It is my gift to you. Wedding gift.”

"Manor?!" Susan and Mike were both stunned.

"Yes, it covers an area of ​​more than 6,000 square meters, which should be enough for a wedding. Ashley has many photos of the manor. After you have seen it, if you are interested, you can go visit it together."

Ashley also became interested at this time and said with a bit of showoff: "That manor is very beautiful. The original owner specially asked a French designer to design it. I have a room there..."

After saying this, Susan became very interested and began to discuss it with Ashley.

"Wow, this is really..." Mike patted Locke's shoulder happily: "Thank you so much."

"It's nothing." Locke smiled: "I know you are a very good person. Susan is also Peggy's temporary guardian. I am happy to be able to provide help as much as I can."

In just a few minutes, the big problem was solved. Mike was in a good mood and the atmosphere for chatting became more lively.

The whole party was lively and lasted until after eight o'clock before Locke left with Ashley.

The next day, Locke and Peggy were driving to school. On the way, Locke suddenly said to Peggy: "I feel like something is wrong with Ashley recently."

"What's wrong?"

"After coming back from the community dinner, she asked me if I would always like her in the future." Locke said: "This is not in line with her character. She has always been quite confident in herself."

"How did you answer?" Peggy suddenly showed an interested look.

"Of course I won't let her leave unless she wants to leave." Locke frowned and said, "This is what you did."

"What did I do?" Peggy rolled her eyes and said with a smile.

"You are pua Ashley." Locke said with certainty: "I didn't pay attention before, but when I think back to the conversations I heard occasionally, I can feel it."

"Don't you like it?" Peggy looked at Locke with a smile: "You don't have to worry about her having any problems because of your efforts, and you don't have to worry about comforting her, she will stay with you obediently."

"I am indeed very carefree, so I made it very clear from the beginning. At the same time, I will not use such methods." Locke's tone was serious: "I have also studied psychology, but I will not treat people around me like this. people."

"This is at best a kind of psychological counseling." Peggy looked at Locke and said, "I didn't distort her thoughts. It was just that she had such thoughts in her heart, so I channeled them. The result was very good, and everyone will be very happy. .”

"Then I'm telling you now, don't do this." Locke emphasized.

Seeing Locke say this, Peggy pouted: "I'm not here for you."

"It's not necessary." Locke said, "I don't want you to get used to doing this. It's not a good thing, especially for the people around you."

"It seems that you really care about me." Peggy's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said with certainty: "If not, you wouldn't think of specifically trying to persuade me."

"I have never denied it." Locke said calmly: "You are very talented. It seems that some things that I originally planned to talk to you bit by bit in the future have been brought forward."

"Are you planning to be my godfather?!" Peggy smiled brightly: "Then what kind of person do you want me to be?"

"I just don't want you to go astray," Locke reached out and rubbed Peggy's head: "The rest depends on what you like. There's nothing wrong with being naughty, as long as you control the temperament."

"How good is it? How to judge?" Peggy looked at Locke.

"I will teach you slowly." Locke left these words.

For a talented girl like Peggy, premature maturity is inevitable, and at this time, her three views have begun to gradually take shape, and Locke can only guide her with ideas.

After all, such a genius is capable of doing many very dangerous things. He doesn't want Peggy to develop a villain mentality. Locke will definitely have a headache by then.
