Anna brought two GMC Yukons; Chen Cheng was in one car with Anna and Zhao Rui.

Zou Yu, Eleven, Xing Lu, and Ming Zhen were in the car behind.

Driving Chen Cheng's car was the Bodyguard Baker, who had gone on break even earlier than Chen Guosheng and was now here to take over the shift; this buddy was of mixed Chinese descent.

In the passenger seat was Anna's Bodyguard, Jennifer.

Jennifer Hard, an African-American from the Ugly Country. She grew up in the slums, is thirty-seven this year, and was hired from a security firm.

Inside the car, Chen Cheng turned his head to chat with Zhao Rui.

Have you decided on a major and a school yet?

Zhao Rui glanced at Anna, who was sitting next to Chen Cheng, blinked, and said, I've talked to Auntie Ma Li and Sister Anna.

It will probably be Arts Management. As for the school, I went to see Sister Anna's alma mater, New Home University.

And Columbia University in the Upper West Side.

Chen Cheng nodded; this major and these two schools were both excellent.

Anna had studied this major too, though she hadn't attended a single day of classes properly.

As for Columbia, that was the place where Dong ge met Milk Tea.

One of these two schools was south of Central Park, and the other was north of it.

In any case, the two schools Zhao Rui had chosen were both in Manhattan.

They were also very close to the house Chen Cheng had bought.

Ever since Chen Cheng thought about keeping a canary, he had bought a house on 73rd Street in the Upper East Side.

It was a five-story building with a basement and a rooftop terrace.

It totaled 9,000 square feet, or about 830 square meters.

It cost 25 million dollars at the time, but it was a loan, and he was still paying it off.

The location was excellent; it was just one block away from Central Park, and diagonally across the street was the Presbyterian Church.

The art gallery for Anna to play with was on 72nd Street, right next door.

Zhao Rui continued, There are two other options: Pratt Institute and the School of Visual Arts.

Auntie Ma Li is planning to take me to see them in a few days.

Chen Cheng didn't know anything about these two schools, so he nodded faintly.

It was clear now that this girl, Zhao Rui, had a strong desire to stay in the big city.

It was probably the public safety in Dou Dou City that had strengthened Zhao Rui's determination to stay in New Home for school.

Not long after, the motorcade arrived at 73rd Street, and the cars stopped on the road in front of the house.

Chen Cheng led Anna and Zhao Rui straight out of the car and into the courtyard.

Eleven, Zou Yu, and the others helped the Bodyguards move the luggage, picking up their own along the way.

Chen Cheng had brought quite a lot of things this time.

There were things Zhao Hui had brought for Zhao Rui, as well as items Teacher Ouyang and Meng Yanchen had brought for Sister Bai Zhou.

Chen Cheng planned to find time to visit Minnesota before returning to the country, after he finished his business in New York.

This time, Chen Cheng was going to stay here for quite a long while.

There was enough room here, so he didn't have Zou Yu and the others stay at a hotel.

Chen Cheng didn't even need to make arrangements; Zou Yu went up to check the rooms and sorted it out.

The first and second floors had the foyer, living room, kitchen, and dining room, while the third floor was where Anna's Bodyguard and her little assistant lived.

Anna usually lived on the fourth floor, and since the three bedrooms on the top floor were empty, there was plenty of room for the four women.

As for where Chen Cheng would stay, whether on the fourth or fifth floor, it would completely depend on his mood.

...

In the evening, after dinner, Chen Cheng took the women to the arena to watch a game.

Today was still January 1st local time, and there was a New Year's battle in Brooklyn.

Anna was a veteran fan who frequented the socialite circles.

Knowing Chen Cheng was coming, she had long ago found someone to buy two front-row tickets, and later bought two more.

Chen Cheng had invited someone, plus Zhao Rui's ticket.

Today was the first day of the New Year, and Chen Cheng didn't have the heart to leave Zou Yu, Eleven, and Ming Zhen and Xing Lu, who had just had a good time with him, at home unattended.

So he found a scalper and bought a few more at a high price.

The whole family dressed up and headed out together.

After entering, Chen Cheng sat with Anna and Zhao Rui in the seats behind the scorer's table.

Zou Yu, Eleven, Xing Lu, and Ming Zhen, having bought scalper tickets at the last minute, sat somewhat scattered.

While the players were still warming up, a middle-aged white man in a suit with his hair slicked back and a shiny forehead sat in the empty seat to Chen Cheng's left.

Chen Cheng's lips curled up slightly, and he reached out his hand, Happy New Year, Bobby.

A smile appeared on the man's face, Long time no see, Chen.

Bobby Brown, Chen Cheng's former lawyer, now worked at the SEC.

It was the same both domestically and abroad.

Excellence in business leads to a career in government.

The channels abroad were more direct; as long as the employer decided to hire you, you could go from being a commoner to having a direct line to the top.

Bobby was in this situation; having made enough money as a top lawyer, he chose to enter a law enforcement agency.

Relying on his connections in the financial and judicial system, Bobby was now one of the five commissioners.

Chen Cheng invited him purely to catch up.

Of course, at least for now, that was the case.

The two shook hands and watched the players warm up while chatting, How is Allison?

Allison was Bobby's daughter and was now a senior in high school.

It's just that the child was a bit rebellious, obsessed with music, and determined to debut as a singer.

This was very troubling for the current head of the Brown family, whose family had been operating in the judicial system for three generations.

He was a bit overwhelmed and had a huge headache.

A look of helplessness flashed across Bobby's weathered face, and he shrugged, Same old.

Bobby was fifty this year; his hairline was high, his forehead was shiny, and he did look rather weathered.

Chen Cheng smiled and raised an eyebrow, Maybe Allison will become a superstar?

She was already a senior and an adult; it was probably impossible to change her mind.

It is better to guide than to block.

Bobby thought Chen Cheng was joking, smiled, and watched the players on the court without saying anything.

Chen Cheng frowned, didn't try to persuade him, and turned to whisper a few words in Anna's ear.

Anna opened her bright eyes, nodded, and got up to leave her seat.

Zhao Rui looked at Chen Cheng with some confusion, and Chen Cheng waved his hand to signal her to sit tight.

Before long, while Chen Cheng and Bobby were chatting about the Nets' lineup this season.

Anna returned and handed the notebook and pen in her hand to Chen Cheng.

Bobby looked at the notebook in Chen Cheng's hand, a bit confused.

Chen, what do you think of the Nets' lineup?

...

The two chatted on and off, and the game on the court started.

The Nets hosted the Milwaukee Bucks.

Chen Cheng occasionally wrote and drew in the notebook, and occasionally looked up to check the situation on the court.

Watching the stylish and elegant Euro God on the court, and Second Brother Du, who was sitting on the sidelines due to an Achilles tendon rupture.

Plus the Greek dirty thing on the other side.

Chen Cheng felt a wave of emotion.

That bearded guy who loves looking at the night view hadn't arrived yet.

How many people were looking forward to the formation of the Big Three after he arrived.

It's a pity there's a dirty thing.

During halftime, Bobby went to the restroom.

Chen Cheng sat in his seat without moving.

Hi, Chen~

Hearing someone call him, Chen Cheng slowly raised his head and looked closely.

Isn't this the 'KFC Three Sisters'?
