Chapter 795 Sure enough
After lunch, Chen Feng chatted with the two women for a while, then went back to his room to meditate.
The two women continued chatting downstairs for a while before going back to their rooms to take a nap.
When Chen Feng came to America this time, he only brought a piece of calligraphy with invisible energy. It was not very big and could just be carried.
I took it out and sucked it for the first time today. After about half an hour, I had absorbed almost a third of it.
You can only smoke three or four times at most.
However, he only needs to smoke once every two or three days now, so he is not very urgent.
In this way, this painting is enough for him to stay here for ten days.
The reason why he needs this invisible energy is, in Chen Feng's opinion, mainly because of his illness.
If he had not absorbed this invisible energy by mistake, his condition should not have suddenly improved, and he would have been dead by now.
As for his super good luck, it may not have much to do with this invisible energy.
There is also the sixth sense before encountering danger, which should also have a lot to do with this invisible energy.
So, just to save his life, he still has to absorb this invisible energy regularly for a long time.
It’s just that the more these things are used, the less they are. Although there are still some reserves at home, Chen Feng still feels a sense of crisis and always wants to get more.
Therefore, when he came to America this time, he also wanted to look for various works of art that contained this invisible energy.
As we all know, the prices for some artworks here in America are generally relatively high, especially those that are well-known.
Even if he wanted to collect some unknown works, he would have to spend some money, or even a lot of money.
Making money and earning US dollars became his top priority.
Anyway, I am idle. Tomorrow Chen Feng plans to ask Brina to take him to see some art works, or to find some unknown artists to see if they have any works that he needs. .
It was almost time for dinner when Chen Feng came out of the room and came downstairs. At this time, Brina was busy in the kitchen alone, preparing dinner for everyone.
Zhou Qianru and Miao Na were sitting on the sofa playing poker. They were obviously very bored.
"You finally came down. What were you doing alone in the room? Have you been sleeping?"
Zhou Qianru temporarily put down her cards and teased Chen Feng with a smile.
Chen Feng told the truth: "I am meditating."
"Meditating? Are you talking about Qigong practice? Can you sit cross-legged for so long?" Zhou Qianru looked curious and disbelieving.
Chen Feng said matter-of-factly: "I can sit cross-legged for two hours now, and my legs won't be too numb after the end."
"Then you are really good." Zhou Qianru believed it, "I have practiced before. Through yoga and meditation, I can do the most. After sitting for more than ten minutes, it will be difficult to calm down."
"This can only mean that you have no chance to practice yoga."
Zhou Qianru said solemnly. He nodded and said: "You are right. I used to practice yoga mainly It’s to keep in shape, and I practice intermittently, but I will practice regularly in the future. In addition, I also need to eat properly and stop eating randomly. I used to like to eat pickled things, such as salted fish, pickles, and so on. And some marinated seafood. I suspect that my illness is related to my past habit of eating these things."
Chen Feng thought for a while and said, "How about I assign a nutritionist and a chef to help you with your illness? You really need to eat properly.”
Zhou Qianru quickly shook her head and refused and said: "No need for the moment. This is America after all. Without our domestic ingredients, the nutritionist and chef you find may not be able to make a meal that satisfies me."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "As long as you have money, this is not a problem. In fact, there is no shortage of domestic ingredients here. There is a special Longguo Supermarket here. Most of the domestic ingredients are available in Longguo Supermarket. As for the nutritionists we can hire here, they will definitely be no worse than those in China. We can also hire professional Chinese chefs.”
Zhou Qianru was a little moved after hearing this. After all, she had been a rich wife before and was used to living in fine clothes and fine food. All the meals at home were cooked by a chef.
Otherwise, her cooking skills would not be so average.
It’s just that Chen Feng must pay for the hire first, so she couldn’t agree immediately.
Chen Feng saw what she meant and said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't cost much to hire a nutritionist and a chef. The nutritionist just needs to help you make a reasonable and healthy diet plan, while the chef only needs to come over at noon to help us." Just cook and eat the leftovers from lunch at night, or we can simply make some and eat it ourselves. "
Zhou Qianru nodded after hearing what Chen Feng said. : "Okay. That's not bad, especially if you invite a chef to come over and cook. Otherwise, you can't let Lina be the cook every day and cook for us."
"That's what I mean. Then when you have dinner, tell Lina and ask her to help find a nutritionist and a chef for you.”
After the two chatted for a while, the dinner at Brina’s side was finally ready. Okay, let’s ask them to come over and eat.
After the four of them sat down, Chen Feng told Brina that he wanted to hire a nutritionist and a chef.
Brina also agreed and said that there should be a nutritionist medical center and it would be more professional. As for chefs, especially Chinese chefs, there should be some here, but the specific cooking skills can only be seen at that time.
After eating, Brina called the medical center for consultation. As expected, there are very professional medical nutritionists who can arrange a reasonable and healthy diet for the patient according to the patient's condition.
We provide door-to-door appointment services, and the price is nothing compared to the high cost of cancer treatment.
After Chen Feng and Zhou Qianru agreed, Brina made an appointment with a professional medical nutritionist.
As for the Chinese chefs, it was a little hard to find them all of a sudden. First of all, one is Chinese, and the other is even better at cooking, and Zhou Qianru must be satisfied.
There are also issues of security and trust that have to be considered.
After all, if he comes over every day to cook food for you, if he has a bad character, or has other messy problems, or even attracts wolves into the house, it is better not to find him.
Therefore, Chen Feng directly vetoed Zhou Qianru's move to post on the Chinese forum here to recruit people.
People are separated from each other, especially in foreign countries. Not every compatriot can treat you as a brother or sister, and not every compatriot is a good person.
For the time being, we can only slowly think of ways to find it again.
Tomorrow, let the nutritionist come to your home to arrange a reasonable diet plan, then buy the required ingredients, and then find a way to find a good chef.
No one has any objection to Chen Feng’s arrangement.
Next, everyone went to the teahouse on the second floor.
The lobby on the first floor does have less atmosphere and feeling than the teahouse on the second floor.
Everyone was watching TV and chatting, waiting for the Mega Millions lottery draw at 10:12 tonight.
Talking, laughing, and eating some snacks, time flies by. During this period, Chen Feng was finally freed from his part-time job as a translator because he discovered that Miao Na's English proficiency was actually not weaker than his, and she was fully capable of translating for Zhou Qianru and Brina.
Miao Na can now earn 5,000 yuan a day as a daily salary, including food and accommodation. Basically, she has nothing to do. It is certainly not good for her to work part-time as a translator. reject.
Chen Feng finally no longer had to act as a mouthpiece for the two women, and he immediately felt much more relaxed. He could quietly scroll through his phone and read novels.
Unknowingly, it was time for the lottery draw. Everyone immediately stopped talking and locked the lottery channel.
Everyone's eyes widened, waiting for the live broadcast of the lottery results.
The rules of Mega Millions Lotto are to first select 5 unique numbers from 1 to 75, and then select a number from 1 to 15 as a special number.
The live broadcast of the lottery was also very straightforward. The host did not say much nonsense and immediately broadcast the lottery.
Both Zhou Qianru and Brina had their lottery tickets in their hands, but of course Chen Feng didn't, and just watched the TV with a calm face.
The five white ball numbers were quickly shaken out one after another, and the last red ball number was a special number.
"8, the first one, I won." Brina was very happy at first, but soon the second number, the third... and the fifth number were drawn, and her face collapsed, and finally Even the special number was called out, and her face became even more ugly.
She bought five bets, with a total of five numbers in front. She could win at most one number for each bet, but she could not win two numbers, let alone win the prize.
The special number was not selected either, which was what made her the most angry.
She made five lottery bets, and the special numbers she chose for each bet were different. She chose them specially, which meant that there was a one-third chance that she didn't guess correctly.
Otherwise, if she selects the red ball with a special number, she can get a dollar bonus.
Zhou Qianru bought 10 bets. After checking for a while, she sighed and said helplessly: "I only won two white ball numbers in two bets, and I didn't win any red ball numbers. It seems that I don't have any money to get them." ."
Brina took hers and looked at it, then smiled: "You are worse off than me. After all, I only bought five bets, and you have ten bets. But we didn’t hit the mark at all.”
After saying this, she immediately turned to Chen Feng: “Why don’t you take out the lottery tickets and let’s check them together?” Look.”
Chen Feng didn’t say anything, and casually took out the stack of lottery tickets from his pants pocket and handed it to her.
Brina was not polite. After taking it, she gave some to Zhou Qianru, and then she matched the numbers according to the numbers just drawn.
First, I scanned it roughly from top to bottom to see the special number 13 on the red ball, but it turned out that I missed it.
Brina winked at Chen Feng and said with a smile: "At least half of the lottery tickets here didn't win the red ball. It depends on Zhou's side."
Zhou Qianru also went first. Looking at the red ball numbers, I saw that two bets were successful, and then I checked them one by one based on the numbers just drawn. After a while, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
The other three people all looked at her, and Brina asked quickly: "Zhou, don't tell me that he won the lottery."
Zhou Qianru raised her head and looked at her with complicated eyes. Xiang Chen Feng: "You...won the prize."
"Let me see." Brina immediately took the lottery ticket in her hand and quickly found the two bets that had the special numbers on the red ball. After comparing them, it turned out that she had won the prize.
"Chen, you are lucky. You won both bets. The third prize is US$5,000, which adds up to US$10,000. But you have to pay at least 25% tax, so you only get more than US$7,000. What a pity. There is one in both notes. The white ball missed. Otherwise, you would have won the first prize."
Brina said with some envy and regret, and of course it was inevitable that she would be gloating. After all, Chen Feng had lost to her. Missed a million dollars.
Zhou Qianru said with some envy on the side: "He can win 10,000 US dollars, which already shows that he is very lucky."
Brina nodded: "That's right, But he didn’t win one million and still lost to us. Chen, are you willing to admit defeat?”
Chen Feng looked at her speechlessly and said, "Are you right? I made 50 bets, and you are right on two bets now."
Brina couldn't help laughing after hearing this. : "You don't think there is another bet that wins one million, do you?"
"Tell me after you have made every bet right." Chen Feng said with determination.
He didn’t believe in his financial luck, and he couldn’t believe it after coming to America.
He had deliberately lowered his standards before. He was not confident that he could win the first prize of tens of millions of dollars, but he felt that he should still be able to win the second prize of one million dollars.
"Okay, then I'll get it right every time I bet."
Brina really didn't believe it, and then she started matching the numbers again.
The first lottery ticket has three white ball numbers and a bonus of $5, set aside.
The second one actually has two bets and three white balls, which costs $10.
The third bet actually hit four white balls for $500.
The fourth one...$5.
The fifth one...$15.
The sixth one, the first bet didn’t hit any of the numbers, the second bet, the first number was right, the second number was right, the third...the fifth one, all five numbers were right. .
Brina couldn't help but open her mouth, eyes widened, and the hand holding the lottery ticket was trembling.
Zhou Qianru and Miao Na, who had been watching from the side, were both surprised when they saw her performance, thinking that they might not really have won a million dollars.
Just as Zhou Qianru was about to stretch her head to take a look, Brina suddenly screamed "Ah", then jumped up excitedly holding the lottery ticket, and threw herself at Chen Feng, hugging him tightly. , shouted: "You won! One million dollars! God! God! It's incredible! You really won one million dollars!"
When Chen Feng saw her like this, he couldn't help but express his expression. He smiled and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as his good luck still exists, his sense of security will rise to a higher level by staying here in America.
Confidence in making money here has also increased significantly.
After Chen Feng let her hug him for a while, he pushed her away and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so excited. This is only one million US dollars, and you have to pay high taxes. In the end, you get It’s hard to say whether I got 600,000 US dollars.”
Brina quickly said: "If you win the lottery in Texas, you don't have to pay state taxes. You should be able to get 650,000 US dollars."
When Chen Feng heard this figure, it was almost the current 4.5 million yuan, which was quite satisfactory. He smiled and nodded: "That's not bad."
If you invest this money in the stock market, you will be able to double your earnings in a few days. It should be enough to buy a house and a car here. .
