A new week arrived, and Chris returned to school.
Walking on campus with Megan, Chris couldn't shake the feeling that Megan was in a very good mood, as if something happy had happened.
Thinking of it, Chris directly asked Megan, "Megan, do you have some good news?"
Megan looked at Chris in surprise and asked, "Don't you know? This morning I received a huge sum of 750,000 US dollars in my account. Isn't that the dividend you gave me?"
"Oh, that's it!" Chris patted his head; he really hadn't realized that Megan was so happy because of this.
After all, for Chris, he hadn't worried about money since he transmigrated.
So, for a moment, Chris didn't even think in that direction.
But thinking about it carefully, given the Griffin Family's circumstances and Pete's attitude towards Megan...
Receiving such a large sum of money was indeed a huge blessing for Megan.
"Alright! So, have you thought about how to spend this money? Save it, or go traveling?"
Hearing Chris's question, Megan hesitated, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm planning to take a few sisters on a trip during the summer vacation, but I haven't decided where yet."
"Have your senior year's vacation dates been confirmed? What day is it?"
Chris knew that Megan and her classmates would have a vacation much earlier than his sophomore year because they were about to graduate, but he didn't expect Megan to receive the vacation news in late April.
Megan nodded and said, "The approximate time has been confirmed; it's before mid-May. As for you, based on previous years' calculations, it should be after mid-May."
Chris calculated the time and found that there was less than a month left. Should he also consider what to do during the summer vacation?
After all, America's high school summer vacation is at least three months long; it would be a waste not to have fun.
"So, have you decided which university to go to? Or are you going to study abroad?"
Megan's expression was a bit awkward when she heard Chris's question, but she still said directly, "I found Uncle West, and he helped me write a recommendation letter for Brown University."
Chris didn't mind Megan's awkwardness. He chuckled and said, "It seems you still listened to my advice!"
"Hmph, you're so annoying!" Megan heard the teasing in Chris's words and angrily quickened her pace, leaving.
As Megan left, Chris also went to a classroom according to his schedule.
He just glanced around casually and found that he hadn't seen many of the students there, and even Johnny, whom he admired greatly, wasn't present.
However, this was normal. America's high schools are popular for their rotating class system, and it's often difficult to be matched with the same group of people in the same class.
So, after realizing there were few familiar faces this time, Chris left the classroom, preparing to go to the gym to fool around.
Just as he arrived at the gym, Chris's attention was drawn by a group of big guys inside.
"Hey, bro! Look at my muscles, do they have a third of Boss Chris's physique?"
A muscular black man was flexing his muscles at Hanger, showing a mouthful of white teeth as he asked with a smile.
Listening to his fellow tribesman asking for his opinion, Hanger scoffed, "Are you crazy, Bourne? Your bench press is only 260 kilograms; how dare you dream of comparing yourself to the boss whose bench press is over 500 kilograms? I really don't know how you even dared to think that?"
"Hehe, aren't I just trying to learn from Boss Chris? I can't learn the strength, but it's good if I can learn to be somewhat similar in physique!"
Bourne, who had been mocked by the big brother he acknowledged, didn't get angry. Instead, he flattered him.
After all, he was able to double his bench press from 130 kilograms in just two weeks, all thanks to the special functional beverage given by Boss Chris.
And as one of Boss Chris's most trusted subordinates, Hanger, also a black brother, was naturally someone they, as African Americans, felt close to.
It was precisely because of this that Bourne not only wasn't angry at Hanger's mocking words but was also happy that Hanger actively defended Boss Chris.
Because he deeply understood one truth: only loyalty could earn more attention from Boss Chris.
Otherwise, Marn, the white man who was another one of Boss Chris's subordinates, would lead those white people to ride roughshod over them.
Looking at the group of white people laughing on the other side of the gym, and Marn surrounded in the middle...
Bourne, as one of the few black men with a brain, pondered how to improve Hanger's standing in Boss Chris's heart to bring them more benefits.
Although Hanger felt that his brother's various behaviors were somewhat strange, he didn't think much of it. Instead, he was somewhat worried.
Hanger was still anxious and fearful about the boxing match Chris had told him to watch half a month ago, because he hadn't managed to do it.
The week before last, the day before the boxing match, Hanger had actively contacted Chris, wanting to invite his boss to watch the match.
But in the end, he never received a response. Hanger was depressed for a long time because of this, until he learned that Chris had taken several days off, which finally put his mind at ease.
However, two days ago, he tried to contact Chris again but still couldn't reach him. This made Hanger anxious because he knew Chris had come to school last Friday.
For this, Hanger even found Brian, the white dog who knew Chris, but in the end, it was fruitless.
That dog took fifty US dollars from him and then gave him a vague answer, saying something about Boss Chris having just returned from being missing.
Isn't this a joke?
With Chris's powerful physique, why would he use such an exaggerated word as "missing"?
This made Hanger suspect that the white dog didn't know the specifics either and was just taking the opportunity to swindle his money.
Thinking of this, Hanger gritted his teeth in hatred. If it weren't for Boss Chris having a good relationship with that white dog, Hanger would have wanted to break that dog's legs.
However Hanger tried to rationalize it in his heart, the fact remained that he hadn't completed the task Boss Chris had given him.
So, these days, Hanger had been trying to make amends.
He even thought about organizing a boxing event himself so that when Chris asked, he could directly take Chris to watch it.
Unfortunately, the resources he could mobilize now were only these dozen or so black brothers circling him, and the dragon blood beverage he had in reserve.
He didn't dare to misuse the dragon blood beverage. Otherwise, not only would he have trouble explaining to Boss Chris, but even Marn would bring people to tear him apart.
So, he still had to start with his black brothers; they would go fight in boxing matches.
But before Hanger could figure out how to tell his brothers, he heard someone exclaim, "Boss Chris is here!"
Everyone who heard this turned their heads in unison and then saw the superior Chris.
That tall, handsome, and robust young man, who else could it be but Chris?
"Boss!" "Boss!" "Big Brother Chris!"
Everyone heard the unusual sound, turned their heads to look, and then found it was Marn shouting, so they no longer had any objections.
As one of Chris's most trusted subordinates and the earliest follower of Chris, he was indeed qualified to call him more intimately.
Chris looked at the enthusiastic demeanor of his many subordinates, nodded in acknowledgment, and then walked straight to the hesitant Hanger.
Just as Hanger thought Boss Chris was about to interrogate him, he heard words that made him disbelieve, "Take two brothers and go break Brian, that dog's, two legs. Damn it, he actually dared to embezzle the beverage I gave to my family!"
