1357: Your Set Won't Work in America! (1 More)
"Who is Harold Wilson? Are you a friend?"
Nancy asked in surprise.
Xia Xiaolan shook her head, "No, I made a mistake."
Danny was driving and hesitated for a moment, "Xia, do you know anyone from the Wilson family? Nancy, Mr. Harold is the actual owner of the Wilson Hotel."
Harold is not low-key.
Like other rich people, he likes to socialize with models or actresses. If you are in that circle, it is not surprising that you have heard Harold's name. If you can't reach that circle, you will naturally be unfamiliar with this name - Harold's relationship with models and actresses does not mean that he likes exposure. He may be in a quiet relationship for a period of time and then break up in a low-key manner, and the media does not know.
Accidentally photographed, the news was bought and will not be announced!
The hobbies of rich people are always different. Some people like to make themselves famous, which in turn increases the reputation of the company.
Some people make money in a low-key manner, quietly turning the clouds over the rain, and accumulating wealth.
Danny is just strange, Nancy has been an intern at the Wilson Hotel, and even she doesn't know "Harold Wilson", but Xia Xiaolan, an exchange student from China, knows!
"I'm not very familiar with him. He went to Huaguo to invest last year. He met a few times because of coincidence. He just heard Nancy talking about the Wilson Hotel and suddenly thought of it. I didn't expect that the hotel really belongs to Mr. Harold."
What Xia Xiaolan said was casual, but Nancy couldn't treat her casually.
The owner of the Wilson Hotel went to invest in Huaguo. If you can meet him a few times, he is not an ordinary person in Huaguo!
Danny was a very gentleman, but he didn't ask.
Xia Xiaolan changed the subject and began to complain about Professor McCarthy, how could there be only one big devil like McCarthy for a behemoth like Cornell University, and there are always one or two big devils in each department.
Students get along in private and don't complain about professors. Isn't it a lot less fun.
Finally arrived in New York City, Danny recommended a not so expensive restaurant with a good reputation, Xia Xiaolan really invited the three of them to dinner.
New York is the largest city, and its consumption level is much higher than that of Ithaca, which is also impossible.
After coming out of the restaurant, Danny asked Xia Xiaolan: "Xia, do you want to go to the Wilson Hotel with us, are you going back to Ithaca today?"
Xia Xiaolan waved her hand: "No need, I made an appointment to meet with a friend and will go back tomorrow."
The place where Xia Xiaolan got off was close to Wall Street.
Winmanie's law firm is nearby.
NYU Business School is close by as well.
The three of Danny waved at her and watched her enter a building.
Nancy pinched her face, "Xia is so mysterious! Danny, I really hate you rich people, you might have to manage your own hotel after graduation, but I have to work for you hotel heirs! It's hard to meet a new friend. , It looks like a rich man... My heart is too painful to associate with you."
Xia Xiaolan knew the owner of the Wilson Hotel.
I invited everyone to dinner just now, and the tip is more than $80, which is much more expensive than the postage from Ithaca to New York City!
Xia Xiaolan didn't even blink her eyes when she took out the money, it was obvious that she was another "odious" rich man!
Danny glanced at her, "Then why don't you go to the Wilson Hotel with our two nasty rich people, as guests instead of trainees?"
"want!"
Those who don't go are fools.
Danny has a VIP card, and he can save a lot of money by taking it with him.
Thinking about it this way, it's still beneficial to be friends with the wicked rich!
...
Xia Xiaolan pinched and entered the a&g law firm.
Law firms in the United States are often named this way, which should be the initials of the two senior partners of the law firm.
With money in her pocket, she can avoid stage fright. Xia Xiaolan took the elevator all the way up to the 17th floor.
"I'm looking for connie, and I have an appointment with her at 14:30."
"Miss Xia? Please come with me."
Although Wen Manni is not a senior partner, she has her own independent office and has a good view. It seems that she is doing well in the law firm.
"Connie, thank you for meeting me!"
Wen Manni nodded, "No, no thanks, you are my client now... You can ask me questions now."
Wen Manni didn't tell Xia Xiaolan the fee. She was charged by the hour. If the US dollar was changed into Chinese currency, Xia Xiaolan would be very distressed according to the official exchange rate.
Lawyers in the United States are very popular. If you get a master's degree from Harvard Law School, your average annual salary can reach more than 30,000 US dollars in the first year of social work.
Xia Xiaolan didn't even think about the consultation fee, she could afford it anyway.
"Connie, as I mentioned before, I want to find someone in San Francisco. They came to the United States in 1966. When they first arrived in the United States, they wrote a letter to return to China. Later, you also know that the Chinese state cannot go abroad for 10 years. Contact, there will be no news of the family. If we use the means of prosecution, can we find them?"
If he is prosecuted, the court will issue a subpoena to Xu Zhongyi... If Xu Zhongyi is still alive, he has been in the United States for 20 years, it is impossible not to leave a little record in the official system.
No criminal record, always have a tax record, right?
Unless Xu Zhongyi has been a black household for 20 years and does not need to pay taxes!
This might be too small.
Wen Manni is very convinced by Xia Xiaolan's bold ideas, this Chinese girl who looks so delicate is far better than she shows
The cuteness is even scarier.
Xia Xiaolan doesn't look like someone who has just left the country at all, she's just an old frenzy!
Wen Manni shook her head: "Your idea is very good, but what to sue? You said that this Xu Zhongyi came to the United States 20 years ago, and he has a mother in China. The crime of abandonment is not acceptable, there is no reason to prosecute, there is evidence to prove him Is it subjective and intentional abandonment?"
Xia Xiaolan was very disappointed.
"I also brought a letter of attorney signed by Grandma Yu - what about the crime of theft? Xu Zhongyi stole a lot of property from his home in 1966. I can guarantee those things..."
Wen Manni felt a little cold in her neck for some reason.
This is too harsh.
Are you here to find a son for that grandma, or to kill the other party's son?
"Xia, once a case is filed, the accusation cannot be withdrawn. Do you want to find this Mr. Xu and send him to jail? I know you want to use the police records to find someone, Xia. , you made a big mistake, this is not China, but the United States that values personal privacy. If I help you, then I am also committing a crime... I suggest you find a private detective! I really know a few good private individuals Detective, you know my profession, and sometimes I need the help of these detectives."
Xia Xiaolan was embarrassed.
Wen Manni is right, her thinking is indeed very Chinese.
"It's not that no one has helped to find them over the years. Private detectives should have been hired, but there is still no result. The family just disappeared in San Francisco... Am I really going to tell stories on TV to find relatives?"
Xia Xiaolan looked too depressed, and Wen Manni spoke in a subtle way:
"There is a big difference between a private detective and a private detective. A capable detective is also expensive. What you said is a good way to find a TV station and a newspaper. Let me give you a piece of advice. In the United States, you can't touch the line of integrity. !Never!"
