Enthusiastic Susie

In fact, the winter in Ohio is generally not very cold, after all, it is near Lake Erie to the north. Under sufficient water vapor, the ambient temperature will be automatically adjusted.

However, this year was an accident. The snow season began in November last year, and there is still no intention of stopping in January.

Dean learned from the weather forecast on TV that this year's cold wave will be particularly long and is likely to last until April and May.

However, as a native of Ohio, he is used to all this as most people in the city.

"Dean, are you sure you don't need me to go with you?" After changing the tire for his Chevrolet pickup truck, Pete looked up and confirmed.

"Dad, I'm just going to a landlord meeting, which is exactly to do a research on my website. There is no danger here. It's just a little north of the city center, and it's only 15 minutes' drive there.

After Dean was sure that the hard disk in his bag was all there, he had no choice but to say again that he didn't need to be accompanied.

Since Pete was released from prison, he has become idle except for an hour-a-day alcohol therapy course.

As Wadner guessed, they rejected Pete's application to resume work.

The reason is that it does not meet the company's procedural requirements. Of course, as compensation, they are willing to discuss with Peter about the buyout of seniority.

The specific amount is still under negotiation due to large differences between the two sides. But in any case, the end of Peter's unemployment is doomed.

I have been in the factory for most of my life and am used to being with the truck every day. Now that he is suddenly idle, Pete is a little uncomfortable.

MotherF*cker, this day of drinking and getting drunk every day, isn't that what I used to dream of?

After silently complaining in his heart, Peter turned to the hood of the pickup truck again. This old guy spent nearly $10,000 on me at that time. It was strong enough, wasn't it?

Dean looked at the mottled front face of his classic car and a bumper with a wide crack in his index finger, and shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, that's right, it's grinning at me."

"ComeOn, Dean, your father, I have experienced a role of battles. As a landlord, I have a say, and I can give you good advice. He casually threw the empty beer can into the trash can, and Peter began to chatter beside Dean again.

"OK~Dad" Dean opened the door and threw his backpack into the co-driver. "You should find a job, or participate in community service or something. In short, you need to find some work for yourself."

Dean knows what his father is thinking. He doesn't necessarily really want to go to his party. He just wants to find something to pass the boring time.

"MotherF*cker, I have searched all the newspapers that Youngston can provide work. But Dean, can you imagine that Youngstown, with hundreds of thousands of people, can't provide a stable and long-term job!

Cleaners, warehouse loaders, convenience store clerks... All these are temporary jobs, settled on a day, and you don't know which day you will be fired.

It was incredible in Youngstown ten years ago. The country is already terrible!"

"Hey, Dad, calm down." Dean had to appease the manic Pete. "It's not your fault. There's something wrong with the city."

"Yes, you're right, Dean. There's something wrong with this city. I feel that it is slowly dying. Pete took off his knitted hat on his head and rubbed it hard.

Although Pete was not born in Youngstown, he spent half of his childhood here.

Now seeing that the city is slowly declining and unable to change anything, Peter is uneasy and angry at the same time.

"Well, Dad, how about doing me a favor?" Dean closed the door again and simply stood in front of the car and chatted with his father.

"Oh, what?" Peter looked back at him in a daze.

"Help me go to the nearby community to inquire about any news recently, about everything, gossip, politics, factory things, etc. As long as they happen in Youngstown, it will be valuable to collect."

"Dean, are you sure you're not kidding? When did you start to care about this? Peter suspected that Dean was deliberately teasing him. In his impression, a nerd like Dean would not be interested in the things in the community at all.

"Dad, I'm not kidding. You know, I've been working on a website recently. It specializes in the story that happened in Youngstown, so I need some material. Dean explained to him that something had happened.

"Really?" Peter raised his eyebrows and looked a little eager to try.

"Really" Dean nodded affirmatively.

"Are they important?"

"It's very important."

"Haha~, then you've found the right person." Peter put on his knitted hat again with pride on his face. Your father, I know everything about Youngston. If you want to inquire about the news, just leave it to me.

Peter, who came back to life, took out another can of beer, then turned around and walked out of the community. Oh, by the way, I suggest you add a list of which woman in Yangstown has the best figure on that website. I will bring you this news tonight. Three measurements, feel... everything~"

Looking at Dad finally blinking at him, Dean couldn't help laughing. What a jerk.

Opening the door, Dean sat in the Chevrolet pickup truck and began to drive north.

This car belongs to his father, but because Peter can't drive recently, he has been lying in the open space next to the apartment he rents.

It happened that Dean needed to go out, so the old guy had a place to use it again. In Ohio, especially in North Ohio, it is absolutely unimaginable to go out without a car in winter.

Cotton-like snowflakes outside the car window are falling on the windshield one by one. If he didn't turn on the wiper, Dean doubted whether he could see the traffic in front of him.

"MotherF*cker, why didn't Dad tell me that there was something wrong with the air conditioner in this car?" After driving for a few minutes, Dean felt something was wrong. Damn it, it was getting colder and colder.

Turn off the external cycle casually, and Dean can only wait for the temperature of the engine to rise slowly. But by the time he felt warm, the car had arrived at its destination.

The well-known West Hotel in Youngstown City, where general community activities or group gatherings are held.

Dean came here today for the same purpose. Kent, the president of the Youngstown Real Estate Investors Alliance, after the last landlord training course. Shields invited him to the meeting after the New Year.

Dean accepted, and the meeting was scheduled for today.

Taking the backpack, Dean tightened his tight windbreaker and walked quickly to the hotel.

"Hey, Dean." As soon as he entered the hall, he heard someone calling his name.

Looking up, Susie, wearing a long beige down jacket, had come to him.

"Hey, Susie." Dean took off his gloves and wanted to shake her hand, but the latter directly held his arm.

"Dean, I heard that you are developing an office system for the court recently?" Susie stared at a pair of blue pupils and inquired about the news curiously.

"Uh... it's still in the testing stage for the time being." Dean was a little surprised how Susie knew the news.

ComeOn, Dean, Judge Witt has revealed the news in the newspaper. You are a talented college student in their mouth. You can do the work of the whole software company alone, and you have saved a large budget of the government.

Susie's fingers were slightly hard, and Dean soon felt the strength from his arm.

Knowing that Susie was protesting against his perfunctory attitude, he shrugged his shoulders, and Dean explained.

"Okay, Susie. I did develop such a software, but as I said, it has not been officially launched yet.

The initial version of DCAP, Dean has been submitted to the Youngstown Court of First Instance. Limited by the implementation progress of the server, the software can only be tested on one or two machines for the time being.

But despite this, Judge Witt gave it a high evaluation. Of course, the problem is not without. In order to deal with some small bugs, Dean has been going to court almost every day recently.

"Cool! Dean, I have more confidence in the Price list now. Susie took his arm and walked to the hall of the real estate investor alliance gathering.

To be honest, Dean is still a little not used to Susie's enthusiasm. Now his mind is full of Susie's cold style on the podium.

Well, but Dean will not take the initiative to refuse the closeness of beautiful women. He made a wish at the birthday party at the beginning, and he must live a chic life.

The two came to the lobby reserved by the Alliance at the West Hotel, where No. 450 had been sit.

"Wow, I didn't expect that there were so many professional landlords in Youngstown." Dean always thought that in the declining Youngstown, the housing market is limited and even smaller and smaller.

But the lively scene in front of him made him doubt his own opinion.

After greeting the people around her skillfully, Susie turned her head with a smile and explained to Dean. It's only a small part of it today, and there are more landlords in Youngstown who have not joined the alliance.

Of course, not all the landlords present, but the people of the housing inspection agency, lawyers, investors... are all there.

"Well, it's an eye-opener." After Dean and Susie found a place to sit down, they quietly waited for the start of the meeting.

"Dean, I went to have a look at your Price list recently. Although I don't know much about the Internet, it seems to be very lively there. Taking off her down jacket, Susie, wearing a pink sweater, leaned against Dean.

When it comes to this, Dean suddenly looked a little fluttering, "Susie, do you know? Just last week, there were more than a thousand active users on Pricelist.

Since renting the server of the American Internet, Price List has ushered in a significant increase in the number of registered users.

It turns out that the speed of web page loading is directly proportional to user activity.

"Susie, you may not know what this means..."

"OK, seeing the smiles on your faces, I know that everyone must have had a good holiday."

As Dean was about to talk about his Price list, Kent, as the president. Shields has stood up with the microphone and began to speak.

Seeing this, Dean had to stop the topic. Susie smiled and patted the back of his hand, signaling to talk about it later.
