North American Rough Police: Starting from the Los Angeles Patrol

Marianne showed a helpless look, "Todd, this is the United States. I just told Locke that no matter how difficult the problem is, there are solutions. He doesn't need to do stupid things. Do you want him to do stupid things because of impulse? ?”

She said sternly to Locke: "You should know something. Jester and Mary moved from Texas to California 40 years ago. Being able to take root in California and own such a large farm in Lebec was not all smooth sailing. Locke The family has experienced the baptism of blood and fire to achieve all this. Mary left us early because of the root cause of the gunshot wound in her early years. We must not forget the blood of cowboys in us. Things that cannot be solved in civilized society, just Do it the cowboy way, a motto that has been passed down to this day in the Locke family..."

Li Bo looked helpless and said bitterly: "Well, I can never defeat you in this regard. Who can tell me that I am not an American!"

Marianne realized that her tone was a bit harsh, grabbed Li Bo's hand, and apologized: "My dear, don't say that. Maybe when I returned to China with you, Locke and the others wouldn't have to face this now..."

Li Bo hurriedly said: "No, it doesn't matter where we are, what matters is that we are together as a family!"

Locke looked at his parents whose eyes were almost drawn in front of him, hesitating whether to avoid it or not, and once again cursed Locke Lee, the bastard in his heart.

In this boy's memory, there is nothing strange about the entire family. It is always a scene of unity and friendship, without a trace of darkness.

However, it is obvious that the Locke family mentioned by Marianne is the real Locke family.

For some reason, instead of being rejected, he breathed a sigh of relief and had a stronger sense of identification with his family.

After Marianne comforted her husband, she asked Locke: "What's going on between you and Jennifer?"

Locke said frankly: "We both feel that our relationship has not reached that point yet. We are enjoying our current partnership, so..."

"..."

Marianne was stunned for a moment and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Locke, it's us who have dragged you down. Our family is indeed not in the same class as Jennifer Gray..."

Li Bo looked at Locke with a look full of regret. He had been happy for a while when he heard that Locke's girlfriend had an unusual identity.

Damn class, it’s the same everywhere.

"..."

Locke looked at his ashamed parents. Did his words cause any misunderstanding?

He never felt that he was trying to catch up with Jennifer Grey. Instead, he was the one who had the initiative in this relationship.

Looking at the expressions of Marianne and Li Bo, for a moment, Locke thought that maybe he would just choose Jennifer Grey.

But he rejected it in an instant. He knew very well that he was just greedy for Jennifer's body, and this woman did not touch his heart.

Marian turned to look at Li Bo and said in a deep voice: "Todd, you need to make a decision!"

After speaking, she got up and left.

Locke was suddenly confused, wondering why the incident between him and Jennifer Gray was so irritating to Marianne.

He asked Li Bo: "Is there anything I don't know?"

Li Bo looked a little lonely and asked: "Locke, do you know that there is a ceiling for Chinese people in the United States?"

Locke was startled, frowned and asked, "Is there any?"

Li Bo breathed a sigh of relief and said bitterly: "Yes, I have hit the ceiling now. If there are no accidents, my current position is the upper limit of what I can achieve at KPMG."

"Unless I suddenly have the resources of a big company, otherwise..."

Locke was a little surprised. Li Bo is not yet fifty and is in his prime. It would be really distressing if his position at KPMG has come to an end.

He suddenly realized one thing. Marianne had already become a partner of the law firm, while Li Bo's talent was undoubted, but he was only in the middle level. This was indeed a reflection of the ceiling.

Li Bo ordered the tea tray and reminded: "It's cold now, you can drink..."

Locke picked up the cold tea and drank it in one gulp. His mouth was immediately filled with sweetness. He smiled and said, "I really want to drink it cold!"

"That's not how you drink tea..."

Li Bo was a little helpless, but he didn't intend to correct it. After more than 20 years of education, it still wasn't like this.

Locke asked, "What does Marianne want you to do?"

Li Bo poured another cup of tea for Locke, "Your mother wants me to resign from KPMG and help with the farm. Henry and Lucy can only guard the farm. Jester is old, and neither your mother nor Glenn can resign." I am the one who is suitable for changing careers. In fact, the farm business has developed very slowly in recent years, and your mother has always felt that the development of traditional planting and animal husbandry is limited, so she wants to open a company in Los Angeles to be responsible for the promotion and development of farm products..."

Locke asked in confusion: "Isn't this great?"

Li Bo smiled bitterly and said: "That's the problem. All of you think this is good, but you ignore my feelings. Your mother and I got married because of a free love. I stayed in the United States for love. I didn't marry into the country." Locke family, do you understand what this means? Asking me to give up my career and participate in the Locke family's business will make me feel like I am a wife, and my self-esteem cannot accept this..."

Enrolling?

"This……"

Locke somewhat understood how Li Bo felt.

In fact, judging from the previous father-son relationship, Li Bo has some machismo, but Marianne seems to be stronger than him.

It’s incredible that their marriage can last until now!

There really is love!

Li Bo continued: "The last quarrel between me and your mother was not just about Jeter going to study in China. This matter was our main disagreement..."

"I have always felt that as a Chinese, I am successful in the United States. However, to the real upper class in the United States, I am just a Chinese wage earner, and your mother is just the daughter of a farmer..."

"I have also figured it out. For you, my self-esteem is too ridiculous. I don't want what happened to me to happen to you again. You were rejected by Jennifer Gray this time. Isn't it because our family's family background is not enough? ?"

"I……"

Locke was a little speechless. After all, it has something to do with me again!

Could it be that Jennifer Gray's family background includes more than one mother who is the president of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center?

By the way, what does her father do?

Li Bo sighed: "The United States is a truly capitalist country. This is a world of money. Only those with money will gain respect. I will fight hard this time and strive to make you a truly rich second generation!"

Locke didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't say, dad, come on!

Li Bo asked: "Locke, what project do you think is good? Your mother wants to develop new projects on the existing business, but I think we should do farm-related projects. The steps cannot be too big. I plan to develop China China's market has developed rapidly in recent years, and there is a huge demand for imported fruits..."

project?

Locke immediately thought of his turbocharger. Well, he was just playing with this project.

Nowadays, new energy is the trend in the automobile industry. Fuel vehicles have almost become a sunset industry. The value of turbochargers has also been greatly reduced, making them unsuitable for family projects.

Agriculture, planting?

Locke instantly thought of the pharmacy he had mastered. If Lebeck's farm could grow African medicinal herbs, then he could make pharmaceuticals. Could the family directly switch to a pharmaceutical company?

Damn it, pharmaceutical companies, this is one of the industries that controls the United States!

However, when he thought about the several giants that monopolized the US pharmaceutical industry and the long FDA review process for new drugs, he felt that this road was too difficult.

Seeing Locke's silence, Li Bo thought he hadn't thought of it for a moment, so he changed the subject and said, "Do you know why I want Jet to study in China? Because racial discrimination does not exist in China. As an American, Chinese, Jet will even receive some preferential treatment. This is China's traditional virtue. Can you believe it? Even black people will receive preferential treatment in China, even super-national treatment. The school will specially prepare all foreign students to study. Companions, who help foreign students integrate into China, uh, study partners are usually women, but don’t get me wrong, because women will be more attentive.”

He complained: "When I came to the United States, Yale University, a world-renowned university, only had one freshman orientation office. You had to make dormitories, class schedules, and classroom maps yourself. So, as you can see, the future of the world belongs to China... "

Locke frowned and asked: "Why should we give preferential treatment? Shouldn't everyone be equal?"

Li Bo was stunned, feeling that Locke, who grew up in the United States, could not understand Chinese culture at all.

He explained: "You don't understand, this is called the style of a big country, a country of etiquette. To make foreign friends feel at home is like a friend coming to your home. Should we bring out good things to entertain..."

whatisthefucking?

Locke was even more incomprehensible and shrugged, "I don't like this culture, I prefer to be treated equally! Everyone should be the same, no one is special, they are born equal..."

Seeing that Locke still couldn't understand, Li Bo could only give up, "Okay, this is a manifestation of cultural differences. There is discrimination everywhere in the United States, but it talks about equality for everyone. Don't you think this is ridiculous? You still We need to know more about Chinese culture. China is our root after all. I don’t want you and Jet to be completely brainwashed by the media and have too many prejudices and misunderstandings about China..."

Locke was a little dizzy. He always felt that something was wrong, and he felt that he might have really misunderstood Li Bo.

He nodded and said solemnly: "I will!"
