25: Chapter 25: Picking Out Exquisite Women’s Clothes, The Wealthy Lady Has…

Many people don’t understand much about the composition and responsibilities of American police and might not grasp why Cheng Daqi isn’t worried about being taken away by the cops.

In Saint Rodu, its LAPD is the third largest local police force in America.

With civilian staff included, LAPD has eighteen thousand employees.

An eighteen thousand-strong police force for a city seems quite sufficient.

In reality, it’s not enough.

LAPD officers need to take vacations, slack off, and some need to sit in the office.

In fact, the number of officers available for action might be less than ten thousand.

The officers in the action department are the kind that come when you call 911.

So, how many emergency calls does Saint Rodu get every day?

There’s a statistic that shows, on one day in 2023, Saint Rodu’s 911 received over six hundred emergency calls.

Nearly ten thousand people dealing with over six hundred emergency calls theoretically means there are more than enough officers per incident.

But officers need to take vacations, there must be people in the offices, some are working on cases, and there are also emergency response teams that need to be on standby.

When you actually do the math, they’re just barely getting by.

There’s a reason why LAPD frequently appears in American TV shows and films.

They’re really busy.

In such situations, LAPD isn’t going to pay much attention to a squabble between bums.

Yes, a fight occurred, but it wasn’t the victims who called the police, only someone who saw the fight.

At most, the officers might just inquire about the situation, which already justifies their monthly salary.

Instead of looking into a bum fight, finding a few unlucky drivers who aren’t following the rules to generate revenue for the police department is the real deal.

Moreover, most brawls in America don’t result in severe punishment.

If you hurt someone, you pay up, cry a bit in court, do some community service, and that’s pretty much the end of it.

After all, it’s America, where gunfights happen every day; with so many shootings, what’s a little fight?

This is the confidence Cheng Daqi had when he decided to intervene.

Moreover, the situation was clear at the time: it was Kernor who harassed Sani first, and Cheng Daqi stepped in to stop it after seeing it.

In America, you’re allowed to defend yourself, even using a gun for self-defense isn’t illegal in certain situations!

Cheng Daqi didn’t even break a single finger on Kernor.

Even if Cheng Daqi really got taken to the police station today, his actions were quite legal and wouldn’t cause a serious problem.

……….

At night, Cheng Daqi was lying in his tent, scrolling through the comments in his Friends Circle.

After having lunch with Lisa at noon, he posted a hilarious photo of Lisa almost crying because the food was too spicy.

Of course, Cheng Daqi had gotten Lisa’s consent beforehand.

The caption read: “Betrayed America with Sichuan cuisine, almost made her cry from the spice.”

The comments below were interesting.

The first one was from Zhang Weiqi, a high school classmate of Cheng Daqi’s, with whom he had a so-so relationship and didn’t keep in touch much after graduation.

“Cheng went to America, huh?

Impressive.”

It was apparent that Zhang Weiqi didn’t pay much attention to Cheng Daqi and hadn’t seen the Friends Circle post Cheng Daqi made about arriving in Saint Rodu.

Cheng Daqi replied to him with a smiley face.

The second comment was more interesting.

“You take an American girl to eat Sichuan food, and it’s fine you made her so spicy, but why did you have to take a photo and post it?

You’re being very rude, can you not embarrass Hua Country people in America?”

This was from Zhang Xin, the Youth League secretary during Cheng Daqi’s college days.

With obliging leaders, whose composition is always complex, this female Youth League secretary was no different.

Zhang Xin’s comment reflected her complexity.

Between the lines, she seemed both senseless and sensible, but the last sentence broke the balance of that duality and revealed her true colors.

For such a complicated Youth League secretary, Cheng Daqi replied with an attitude of amusement.

“She likes Sichuan food, and she agreed to have her picture posted.”

One should ignore such a person going against common sense, a crisp and direct hit is actually much more damaging than cursing a few times.

Zhang Weiqi happened to be online and noticed Cheng Daqi’s reply.

Although the two were just average high school classmates, Zhang Weiqi was the kind to chat about anything when there was nothing else going on.

He followed up in the Friends Circle’s comment section, asking about Cheng Daqi’s job.

“What are you doing in America, Cheng?

The foreign girl you had a meal with today seemed pretty lively.”

Lively?

It had been years since Cheng Daqi had such a conversation with young people.

Cheng Daqi couldn’t remember.

His psychological age was already approaching forty, long past the age where he just knew to study a woman’s backside upon seeing her.

That included his interactions with Zhao Hongjin and Lisa, where he had absolutely no thoughts about emotions.

Seeing Zhang Weiqi asking like that, Cheng Daqi really wanted to laugh.

A man should establish his career before checking out chicks, not only can you look, but you’ll also have the strength to have no regrets.

Just knowing to look at chicks, Weiqi, it’s a pity.

Cheng Daqi didn’t answer his question.

Even his wandering hobo lifestyle videos on TikTok were all for earning money, nothing shameful about that.

Being a bum didn’t involve stealing or robbing, nothing disgraceful, but there was no need to bring it up all the time.

Especially on social media, just keep it to simple exchanges.

There’s no need to bare your soul without discretion to everyone, that would become other people’s jokes.

Cheng Daqi’s social media audience from start to finish was only one.

Or rather, his goal was only one, and it was always Zhao Hongjin.

If not for the system’s golden finger, Cheng Daqi could have completely taken off just by riding on Sister Zhao’s coattails.

A human-shaped golden finger, that is.

Opening Zhao Hongjin’s social media feed, Cheng Daqi started to browse.

For an expert, a person’s general situation can be completely discerned by analyzing their social media.

Cheng Daqi could easily differentiate between the true rich ladies and the pretentious, gold-digging women.

In his previous life, he probably added over a hundred rich women.

The core difference between them is a sense of relaxation.

Gold-diggers’ feeds are heavily curated, hoping to attract their prey by packaging their social media impeccably.

Rich women’s feeds, on the other hand, most often have an obvious sense of relaxation.

Of course, this requires ample experience.

(Let the author give a few examples to help everyone get some practice.

Gold-digger A: no men ever appear at her dine-outs, likes to strike poses under the spotlight at exhibitions or other high-end events, spouting inspirational quotes.

Gold-digger B: no men ever appear at her dine-outs, likes to post fitness photos, showing off her abs, coupled with lonely spiels.

Gold-digger C: pretends to be artsy, doesn’t post about dine-outs, likes to post pictures of scenery + her figure, with teeth-curdling sour captions, plays the artsy girl, but in reality is just a vocational school sis who hasn’t even heard of nihilism and is posing.

Rich lady A: all about egg waffle parties, occasionally about playing Honor of Kings, rarely flaunts wealth, silly captions.

Rich lady B: married, her posts are all about her kids, likes to share health tips, and also likes to post about new recipes she’s learned.

Rich lady C: a Canadian expat’s kid, likes to post about gatherings with friends, often pines for big, strong men, and likes to emo late into the night.

Rich ladies DEF: this type makes up a big part, they hardly show off in their feeds because true wealth doesn’t show, unless they’re stupid, they like to ‘drive cars’ and share pictures in WeChat group chats.

Summary is not exhaustive, feel free to add more.

If you see a woman who doesn’t post men and often showcases a refined life, you might want to steer clear, chances are she’s not a normal girl.

Posting this isn’t about teaching you how to find a sugar mama, but rather to help the bros see clearly and not waste time on gold-diggers.)

Her recent posts from the past few months were all about life in America, but two posts from July were clearly from back home.

The first was playing with her family’s cat, a Siamese.

In the picture, Zhao Hongjin was burying her face in the cat’s belly in a bt move.

Really crazy about inhaling cat, that is.

The second post was of golden carps in a pond, taken near a window.

The accompanying caption read, “I’ve always wanted to scoop one out to taste.”

Cheng Daqi deduced that the cat-inhaling post was taken at home, the clutter on the coffee table a clear indicator of a lived-in space.

But Cheng Daqi really wasn’t familiar with the brand of the coffee table, and the painting in the background, which looked like a modern art piece, was also beyond his recognition.

The second post was more interesting.

“I’ve always wanted to scoop one out to taste.”

“Always,” suggests it wasn’t the first encounter, ruling out a tourist situation.

Desiring to eat indicates that this place was neither a hotel nor someone else’s home.

In a high-end hotel, wanting to eat the goldfish could simply be handled by asking the kitchen to prepare it, no problem at all.

Posting a caption like that would seem presumptuous if it were someone else’s home.

“Always wanted to eat,” put together, suggests she’s been coming here for a long time, has the privilege to eat, but doesn’t dare to.

The window in the picture featured a distinct combination of Chinese-style round windows and modern design, with dark tan frames containing panes of glass.

The pond where the goldfish swam was part of an elaborate landscape, and to the right of the pond, a gallery was visible.

A Chinese courtyard, and not just any, but one with a pond for keeping koi fish.

The kind of courtyard Cheng Daqi couldn’t afford even after he made his successful venture in his past life.
