American Fame and Fortune

Chapter 74 The Girl Selling Stars

Driving in the affluent area of ​​Marietta, the black BMW 7 was not conspicuous at all. Martin saw the activity center ahead and found an empty space to park on the side of the road.

 Lily in the passenger seat is packing her things.

 Martin asked: “Can you handle it?”

 Lily nodded vigorously, and did not say any nonsense this time: "I specially selected the client for my first business."

She pulled out a photo, put it on the dashboard, pointed at the black boy on it and said, "His name is Cam. He went to the same public middle school as me. His parents died from addiction a year ago, and he was adopted by a wealthy white family." I helped him transfer to a private middle school.”

 Martin couldn't help but said: "This kid is very lucky."

Lily told the facts behind it: "Because he has very outstanding rugby talent, maybe in a few years, he will enter the NFL."

“Don’t use the words I teach you mechanically, but use them flexibly.” Martin glanced at the black skin in the photo and warned: “Don’t say racial discrimination.”

 Lily nodded: "I haven't lost my mind."

Martin said: "Go ahead, I'll cover you here. If there's any problem, I'll go there at any time."

Lily picked up her handbag and came to the activity center. She stood in the shade of a tree and made a phone call. A big boy with not too dark skin quickly ran out.

Cam asked: "Lily, you came to me suddenly, is there something wrong?"

"You helped me before you transferred to another school, and I asked you to repay the favor." Lily said very generously: "I know, you have never given up on cheerleading Emily. Her birthday is in a week, and it is said that she is going to have a backyard party. celebrate."

 Cam scratched his head: "I'm worrying about her birthday gift."

Lily continued what he said: "So, I'm here to help you." She took out the things she had prepared and put them on the **** of a nearby car: "Look at these."

  Cam found several beautifully packaged gift boxes.

"I don't like owing favors, please pay them off as soon as possible." Lily opened the greeting card-like package. Inside was a beautiful star map, one of the stars was printed particularly brightly: "This is a star in the Andromeda M31 galaxy. ”

Seeing Cam's confused look, Lily decided to be direct: "The Atlantic Astronomical Association sells the naming rights to this star. You can name it after a person or anything else. Emily is a member of the school's astronomy club. You can give her one." Star, you will gain a love then..."

Someone was passing by. Lily coughed lightly and took out the certificates, documents and documents of the Atlantic Astronomical Society to Cam: "This is the Atlantic Astronomical Society, one of the largest astronomical organizations in the United States! Cam, think about it carefully, you send What can she do to give you more style and class than a diamond? It lasts longer than a star?"

Cam was moved. A star in the sky was named after Emily. Emily was absolutely touched.

Lily continued to add: "I am working as a volunteer at the Atlantic Astronomical Society this summer. When I encountered such a good opportunity, I thought of you first. If you don't want it, I will give it to Emily myself."

 “I want it, I want it!” Cam was very conscious: “How much is it?”

Lily said: "Just give me 200 US dollars, and I will keep an eye on the association and ask them to mail the certificate and star map to you quickly."

 Cam’s adoptive parents were kind to him, but they only had a few dozen dollars after searching their pockets. He said, “Wait a moment, don’t leave, you must wait for me to come back.”

 Lily nodded: "Go ahead."

 Cam ran back to the activity center and borrowed money temporarily.

Lily took the money, wrote down the mailbox of Cam's adoptive parents' house, left here, and got into the BMW.

 Martin asked: "Is it done?"

 Lily took out the money from her pocket and banged it on her hand: "200 US dollars."

 Martin said casually: "The price you ask is really high."

 I remember that a guy bought it for just over 100 RMB.

“Hey, understand!” Lily emphasized: “What we sold him was a star! A star!”

 Martin asked: “Next target?”

Lily opened the book and glanced at it: "Go to the Margaret Memorial Hall. The administrator's son used to have tutoring lessons with Harris. He is an astronomy enthusiast. I guess he is willing to pay for the naming rights of a star."

She continued to turn: "The other one is the daughter of a member of the Methodist Church. Elena used to be a volunteer in the Methodist Church. I have heard her talk about it many times..."

 Martin understood: “You have used all the resources you have accumulated before.”

 Lily smiled: "No need to waste more."

 In the middle of the afternoon, Andrew called Martin. Martin happened to be in West City. He simply went to the Freedom Association and asked him to get social investigator materials.

 Martin said to Lily who was following him: "Don't say bad words, don't be so aggressive."

Lily responded: "Okay." Martin was still worried: "You'd better not talk."

  Came to the social investigator’s office, only Andrew was there.

　　Andrew gave Martin a piece of material, and suddenly became mysterious and lowered his voice: "I prepared a gift for Kelly's assistant Ella."

As he spoke, he brought up a handbag with the name of the Atlantic Astronomical Society and took out the beautifully packaged star maps, glass stars, certificates and documents, etc.: "I have always wanted to give Ella some gifts, but giving ordinary things is too tacky. I bought her a star, named after Ella."

 Martin was unmistakable. The items in his hands were exactly the same as those Lily had placed in the car.

 Lily opened her mouth, and Martin understood: Harris.

Andrew was quite proud: "Is this a good move? I got a professional certification from the Atlantic Astronomical Association!"

 What can Martin say? He can only praise: "It's high-end and classy."

After leaving, Lily made another business deal. Martin looked at the time and took her back to Clayton.

As the sun set, Martin drove past the north side of the community and found Scott standing on the roadside.

 Scott saw Martin and Lily through the open window and waved to him.

Lily said: "I don't want to talk to him."

 Martin's car stopped on the other side of the road, walked over, and asked, "What's the matter?"

 Scott spit out the cigarette **** and crushed it with his kick: "A few weeks ago, you said Harris applied to college?"

 Martin nodded: “He received an offer from Georgia State University.”

Scott did not continue the topic, tilted his head and looked at Lily in the car, and warned: "You kid, please restrain yourself..."

"Shut up." Martin pointed to his chest: "I am a person with principles and bottom line."

Without further ado, there was no need to say more. Martin went back and got in the car.

Scott raised his **** in his direction.

 Martin responded with the same middle finger.

The car turned from the intersection, and Martin glanced back. A black business car parked next to Scott, and Scott lowered his head and got into the car.

 …

 At night, in an apartment in Midtown, Sophia was wearing a tank top and shorts, revealing muscles all over her body.

 Across from him, Scott was twisting his body, taking off his clothes and throwing them away.

Compared to the strong Sophia, his thin and voluptuous body is like a willow in the wind.

When Scott only had a pair of shorts left, Sofia hooked her fingers, and Scott swayed closer.

 Sophia rolled up a dozen 20 dollar bills and stuffed them into Scott's shorts.

"You old rabbit, you should go to the Beast's House and learn how to dance!" Sofia wiped her mouth: "Where is the wine you poured? Bring it to me."

Scott brought the wine to Sophia. Sophia drank as boldly as she looked and drank it down in one gulp.

 Sophia crossed her fingers: "Follow me!"

Scott had a flattering smile on his face: "I learned new tricks and want to earn more tips."

Sofia became interested and sat down calmly: "Let me see."

Scott, he just lay down on the ground, opened his mouth and shouted: "Woof! Woof..."

Sofia took out a dozen more 20 dollar bills and threw them on the ground: "Only hold them with your mouth!"

 One was pretending to be ugly and the other was throwing money. The two of them had a great time.

Scott kept picking up dollar bills amidst the barking of dogs.
