Chapter 165 The Young Widow 17
The next day, Lin Ruan boarded a flight to Country M. After a ten-hour flight, she finally arrived in Los Angeles, USA. After getting off the plane, she went to the airport bathroom. When she emerged, she was a blonde, blue-eyed foreign beauty, and her identity had changed to Country Y.
"Seventeen, Seventeen, quickly search for a high-end special club for me. I'm really hungry and haven't been vegetarian for too long." Lin Ruan urged hurriedly.
The system rolled its eyes, and in less than a minute, several clubs that were difficult to describe appeared in front of Lin Ruan.
"That's it. There's also a matching performance tonight? Not bad, not bad. I wonder if I can pick a puppy with higher quality."
After picking a place he liked, Lin Ruan was no longer in a hurry. He took a taxi to a high-end hotel next to the club and directly booked a presidential suite for 7 days.
Although she can live in the space instead of the hotel, if she really meets a puppy she likes, she still needs a hotel room to play with it.
System: "Don't tell me, just keep it to yourself. I'm afraid I'll get the virus."
That evening, Lin Ruan patiently dressed and headed to the club. She wore a black velvet dress, long-sleeved gloves of the same color, and a black mask with a rose-shaped hollow. The only different colors were the ruby necklace and the red soles of her high heels.
And the flaming red lips without the mask covering them.
"Hello, ma'am, please show me your invitation." The guard said politely, but his waist was bulging, showing the shape of a gun without any hesitation.
Naturally, not everyone can join such a club. They are invitation-based membership clubs. As long as you are a member of this club, you can send 5 invitations to other people.
Lin Ruan casually tossed the system-generated invitation to the security guard. It already had her name and attributes filled in. However, the name wasn't her real name, but a pseudonym.
After confirming the invitation, the guard became more respectful. "Dear Ms. Qiangwei, this is your identification as a 'teacher'. Please keep it with you. I wish you a happy and enjoyable time."
The guard gave her a brooch made of tiny rubies in the shape of an 'S'.
Lin Ruan nodded, put on the brooch, and walked into the elevator under the watchful eyes of the doorman.
When the elevator opened again, what came into view was another bizarre world.
Lights, music, various masked people sitting in chairs chatting, and their pets at their feet.
A person can be a person, or he can not be a person.
Lin Ruan chose a separate booth and sat down. She didn't bother looking for a suitable puppy. She just ordered some food and ate slowly, waiting for a puppy to take the bait.
"Hello, ma'am, are you alone?"
Every now and then someone would come cautiously to ask, after all, before a pet finds someone to claim it, it needs to show its politeness and good manners.
Every time someone came, Lin Ruan would have the system search their appearance, age, life story, and health. Appearance and age were her ticket to adoption, health was the determining factor for adoption, and life story was used to determine if the person's personality matched her preferences.
After rejecting several people in a row, fewer people came to greet Lin Ruan, but more eyes began to fall on her subtly.
"Hello, ma'am, are you alone?" The voice sounded again. Lin Ruan smiled after looking at the information shown to her by the system.
"Yeah, what about you? Are you a little pet that sneaked out to play, or a pitiful little stray dog?"
With just one word and a smile, Lin Ruan took the initiative into her own hands and began a series of conversations in which she asked questions and he answered them.
It was not known whether she did it on purpose or had forgotten, but she never asked the boy in front of her to sit down. The boy bent over and carefully answered Lin Ruan's question one after another. By the end, his face had turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lawrence felt like his waist was about to break.
He didn't know how long it was before he heard a voice that sounded like the sound of nature: "After listening to you talk for so long, I've finished my drink. Can you pour me another glass, ok?"
"It's my pleasure, and I'm happy to do it."
It didn't seem like the sound of nature, because he didn't need to straighten his waist again when pouring the wine.
"Hahaha..." Lawrence's distress seemed to amuse Lin Ruan. Lin Ruan laughed for a long while before looking up at Lawrence, who was still smiling back. She patted the seat beside her and said, "You've worked hard too. Come and rest for a while."
Lawrence was certain Lin Ruan definitely didn't mean for him to sit next to her. How could he possibly deserve that? And how could he dare? Lawrence didn't dare to delay and quickly reached the spot Lin Ruan had designated. In a flash, an idea struck him, and he knelt down.
Seeing Lawrence taking the initiative again, Lin Ruan smiled softly with satisfaction. She stepped on his thigh with her high heels, and his knees knelt directly on the floor.
"Dear lady, would you like to adopt a humble, obedient stray dog?"
Lawrence asked, as if Lin Ruan's actions gave him courage.
The next day, Lin Ruan opened her eyes contentedly. Lawrence next to her was still sleeping soundly. His facial features were quite delicate, and his long eyelashes covered his face, making Lin Ruan want to pull one out.
She raised her foot and kicked him off the bed. Lawrence opened his eyes in panic and looked at the panicked little pet. Lin Ruan smiled and said, "I want some water."
After all, he was newly adopted and has been wandering for many years, so it is understandable that he is a little stupid.
She played in Los Angeles for more than a week, and only said goodbye to the pet who was reluctant to leave her until the day before registration started. She promised to visit him next time she came here, and refused the pet's request to take her to the airport.
After checking out, she walked out of the hotel, found a deserted corner, and used the teleport button to return directly to the bedroom of the first villa she bought.
"Miss, welcome home." After confirming Lin Ruan's identity, the housework robot greeted her respectfully and left the room.
Lin Ruan stretched and surveyed the room she hadn't been to for so long. The European retro decor was opulent yet elegant, with the paintings on the wall and the exquisite crystal chandeliers exuding a unique charm. She walked to the window and opened it, revealing the garden outside. The neatly trimmed plants and colorful flowers were a breathtaking sight.
She took a shower in the space, picked out a set of clothes suitable for the era, took her ID and admission letter and went to register.
Regardless of the city or university, going to school was just like that. Lin Ruan's main focus was on the outside world, which was more like a foreign country.
Although the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 78 showed many signs of reform and opening up, it still bore many traces of that decade. In terms of enjoyment, it was far inferior to other capitalist countries.
She used the teleportation button to go to Los Angeles every Saturday and Sunday. For convenience, Lin Ruan bought an apartment in Los Angeles when she went there for the second time. It was quite strange to say that in Country M, as long as you have money, the review for buying a house is much looser than renting a house.
As for where she got the US dollars, it was a win-win situation for both her and China—she sold them a data package that included nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology, communications satellite technology, genetically modified soybeans, and more. Besides the data, there were also numerous scaled-down models. These covered military, technological, and agricultural fields. These were all ancient Earth data found by Lin Ruan during the interstellar era. After Lin Ruan's modifications, they were at a cutting-edge level that could be developed within a few years.
Linruan asked for 100 million US dollars.
One hundred million US dollars is not a small amount for China's foreign exchange, but it is too cheap compared to this information package. Unfortunately, when they tracked it down, they only found a few short accounts, and never found the patriotic person who packed up all the technical information blocked by the West and sent it back.
In a capitalist country, what else can you do with money besides spending it on wine and women?
Lin Ruan only invested tens of thousands of dollars in the stock market, and used the rest of the money to enjoy himself. Apart from adopting some stray pets, he spent all his money on shopping.
For every two days of enjoyment, there are five days of English classes in socialist China.
A combination of meat and vegetables makes work less tiring.
