When the meteors streak across the sky, I will unconsciously think of her in my heart. When he accidentally met a young man and woman kissing each other on the street corner, he could not help but think of her wanting to reject him but then he would welcome her. It is always best not to get what cannot be forgotten, so the separation of labor and Yan is the refrigerator of love. The best result of staying and living together is to become relatives.
Zhang Ailing has a passage about the relationship between men and women, which is so insightful that it hits the nail on the head. She said: Maybe every man has had two women like this, at least two. Marry a red rose, and over time, the red one becomes a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, while the white one remains "the bright moonlight in front of the window." Married to a white rose, the white one is like a rice stick on her clothes, but the red one is like a cinnabar mole on her heart.

There is a person who is not as beautiful as Bai Wuxia, not as gorgeous as Diana, and not as considerate as Xiaofen, but she is the cinnabar mole in Bai Yueguang's eyes and the cinnabar mole in Li Muye's heart.
The sun is shining brightly in Arizona in September, and Redea Jewelry’s headquarters is located in the small town of Tucson. In the early days, it was the residence of the Hopi, Papago, Pima, Apache and Navajo Indians. About five hundred years ago, a Spanish expedition arrived here in search of the legendary seven golden cities. More than two hundred years later, the Spanish established a settlement in Tucson.
This is one of the top raw gemstone producing areas in North America, famous for its production of copper ore and rare metals. Many jewelry mining and processing companies in North America are headquartered here. Radidia Jewelry is a giant enterprise in this industry. It has been three years since its 38-story headquarters building in Picros was built. In addition to being a leader in the jewelry business execution industry, Leidia Copper Mining Company, headed by Zhang Li, is also a leader in the industry.
From Massachusetts in the northeast to Arizona in the southwest, Li Muye crossed thousands of kilometers without hesitation, but he hesitated before the last few dozen meters in front of him.
Lao Cui held the steering wheel and looked at the Leidia headquarters building not far away through his sunglasses and said, "You really don't want to go in and meet?"
Li Muye curled up in the back seat, shook his head and said: "Gone. Liu Qi is right. It's better to miss each other than to see each other. Just wait here and just look at her from a distance. After we're done, we'll go to Brooke's vacation." Come to the manor, many people are waiting for us."
Lao Cui said: "The information provided by Miss Margaret is that after the death of Ms. Zhang Shulan, Zhang Na inherited the position of chairman of the board of directors of Leidia Jewelry Group, but in fact the control of this group has fallen to the second largest shareholder. In the hands of Liu Qi, Zhang Na returned to North America from China three years ago and once discussed marriage with Liu Qi, but in the end they did not get married for some unknown reason. However, the relationship between the two was very good, and Zhang Na was not interested in business matters. So it’s just a false name within the group.”
Li Muye made a smoking gesture, and Lao Cui immediately handed over a cigarette, took it, lit it, and took a deep breath. It choked his throat a little. He coughed lightly and said, "The Yankee stuff is too strong. She She has a quiet temperament, so it must be uncomfortable to live here. Did Margaret say why she stayed?"
"There are two business divisions within Redia Group. The main business is jewelry, and the secondary business is copper mining industry. The person in charge is Zhang Li." Lao Cui said: "Miss Zhang Na probably agreed to stay for her family. Yes, she is only the nominal chairperson of the board of directors. She usually works at the University of Arizona. Leidia cooperated with the university to build a medical laboratory. She is the person in charge. She has led several doctors to conduct research there for a long time. This is the only day in the month that I will come here to attend the shareholders’ meeting.”
"Yeah, I got it." Li Muye looked a little decadent, squinting at the cigarette between his fingers. He moved his fingers lightly, and the smoke danced and lingered. He blew it away in one breath and quickly gathered it again. The past is like smoke, it only disappears for a moment. The fire in the heart is not extinguished. Where can there be no smoke? Xinsu put out the cigarette butt and said, "Let's go. It's enough to know that she has a good life."
Hughes Manor, located in the north of Saguaro National Park, was built in the early 1930s.
The Hughes Aircraft Manufacturing Company, founded by the first-generation owner Howard Hughes in the 1930s, was once one of the main suppliers to the United States Air Force. Famous products include AIM-4, AIM-120, etc. Hughes Aircraft also manufactured the world's first practical laser in the 1960s, and designed a large number of optoelectronic systems, radar systems, aircraft computer systems, missile systems and ion propulsion engines for space flight.
In the late 1990s, the aerospace and defense businesses of Hughes Corporation were merged into Thunder, and Thunder also gained control of half of the Hughes Laboratory. At the beginning of this century, Boeing acquired Hughes Aerospace and Communications Company and divided up the Hughes Laboratory with Boeing, General Motors and Thunder.
Saguaro is a giant cactus that can reach a height of fifteen meters and has a lifespan of about two hundred years. This plant is green all over and has tall branches. Numerous immortal pillars line up in the wilderness, like thousands of giant arms holding up the sky, which is very spectacular. Local Indians pick its purple fruits and eat them raw, make dry biscuits or brew drinks.
The local climate is dry and the landform is unique, but there is no shortage of water. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, precipitation is mainly concentrated on the high-altitude mountains in winter. In spring and summer, the snow melts and flows down, spreading in the surrounding area, forming many small rivers and sporadic lakes with excellent water quality, which is very suitable for vacation here. Leisure.
The Hughes Manor where Li Muye and Brooke agreed to meet is located here.
The life experience of the former owner Howard Hughes is legendary.
He is an aerospace engineer, entrepreneur, and film director, a genius who combines myth and weirdness.
He became an orphan at the age of seventeen and dropped out of school to take over his father's business. At the age of twenty-one, he became the chairman and director of a film company. At the age of thirty, he set a world flight record of 567 kilometers per hour in an airplane he designed. At the age of thirty-two, he passed seven He flew across America in half an hour and set a record of flying around the world in ninety-one hours at the age of thirty-three. After that, he spent five years building an airplane designed to carry 750 passengers and fly one mile.
He lived in seclusion at the age of forty-five. As the controlling shareholder of 80% of Universal's shares, he lost his controlling interest because he refused to appear in court. At the age of sixty-two, he sold US$500 million of the company's shares. In his later years, he became insane due to continuous work and drug use. After his death, all his wills were proven to be forgeries.
His vigorous life experience not only changed North America, but also changed the world. But in the end, he failed to create a century-old upstart family. When he left this world in the mid-to-late 1970s, those experiences that he once thought were immortal were annihilated under the wheel of history, and all the glory dispersed with the wind. Future generations can only learn from this rich and magnificent manor. See the shadow of his romantic and legendary life.
The gate of the manor is always open, and ivy is coiled around the lintel and walls, making the place look a bit more mysterious and romantic like a fairy tale. Many years ago, many famous Hollywood beauties entered here excitedly and left here with mixed feelings of disappointment and satisfaction.
They include Billie Dove, Jane Harlow, Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Jane Simmons, Susan Hayward, Gene Tierney, Rita Hayworth, Marianne Marsh, La Nat Turner, Ava Gardner, Jane Peters…
He may not be the richest man of that era, but he is definitely the most romantic. His way of pursuing women is irresistible. He is rich and handsome, and he also has a trump card: giving a wedding ring to his prey and swearing to marry her. Sometimes he even used this method, finding a small church, hiring someone to dress as a priest, and pretending to announce that the marriage contract had been witnessed by God. A few years later, these illegal marriages would make the lawyers responsible for the lawsuit against Hughes' estate Very nerve-wracking.
The legend has passed away, but the manor is still standing, but the owner has been replaced by Brooke Adams. Compared to the wonderful previous master, he was just a mediocre, experienced and powerful layman. He has power, but not immortality. Power can make people great, but immortality is always great.
On the left side of the manor is a natural lake with a romantic name: Eyes of the Goddess. Brooke joked that this place should belong to Margaret because she had the eyes of a goddess. The only one who could resist her charm and not be overwhelmed was Li Muye.
Brooke has many friends, but only three are qualified to be invited to appear here. They all seemed to be slightly ordinary, unfamiliar faces. When Brooke introduced their identities to Li Muye, Li Muye refused. I have no intention of clinging to a dragon or a phoenix, so why should I care whether you are a dragon or not? Therefore, in the end, Li Muye only got three very common names, John, Nick, and Vincent.
Among the three, Vincent is the youngest, but he is already sixty-four years old. Brooke officially retired in August. Among these people, only Vincent has not retired, but people like them often retire without retiring, and even after retiring, they do not really retire. For them, whether or not to retire is not the most important, but whether they can retire is the key.
The atmosphere of the party was very harmonious. Everyone sat together, enjoyed delicious food and music, and just talked about love and romance without caring about worldly affairs.
Li Muye used English as an excuse to listen more and speak less, cook delicious food, and occasionally talk about health preservation and the relationship between food attributes and physical and mental health.
The best way to make friends is to get along without getting tired. If you can gain something from each other under this principle, you can be a close friend.
One begonia tree has thousands of flowers, none of them the same color. Even if he is just expressing his love for the landscape, chatting about the beauty of spring, health and warmth, Li Muye's eyesight and intelligence can still tell a bit of his character. Brooke's three friends also have different personalities. John is vulgar and direct, fierce and conceited, but he does not lose his heroic nature. Nick is silent, calm, gentle and reserved, but in fact he is a ruthless and scheming character. Vincent is optimistic, wise and humorous, and he is a smiling tiger who speaks likeable.
Four old boys and one real old man formed a game of eating, drinking and having fun. It's nominally for health, but actually it's more for a short period of time to relax your mind. He laughed, talked about food and health, and naturally also talked about women. None of them are the richest men, but they all have endless money to spend, and naturally they have countless women throwing themselves into their arms.
Those who are greedy and ignorant of restraint will lose their lives and body. On this point, both the East and the West have a consensus. The difference is that Westerners have a more direct way of thinking. Too much of this is bad, so we need to control it. Thinking of this principle is as simple as asking for this medicine when you are sick. The philosophy of the Oriental people is that water can carry a boat or overturn it. Things in the house can damage or replenish the body. The way to use it is to block it instead of sparing it. Yang is the method of fire, and yin is the method of water. The complementation of yin and yang is the way to maintain health. .
Li Muye was taught by Bai Wuxia personally in this aspect, and it was easy to teach him some superficial skills to increase his experience and keep his spirit and body strong. Combined with the supplementation of food and medicine, after a month, these brothers have been adjusted to physical and mental comfort, and their qi and blood are strong. They wish they had rejuvenated. He even regarded Li Muye as a god, and was even willing to treat him as a teacher and seek advice devoutly. Li Muye was modest and low-key and refused to be a teacher, but he answered all questions. This made several people admire him, and they became lifelong friends with each other.
A few days later, on this day, Li Muye was explaining the secrets of cooking, making soup, and maintaining health, when he suddenly received a call from Bai Wuxia.
The beautiful woman has arrived in North America and I want to meet her immediately... (End of this chapter)
