I opened up FOREX exchange rates.
The Chinese Yuan had appreciated against the USD.
The exchange rate is now 8.02 CNY per dollar.
The sa thing was happening with RMB per dollar, as those two currencies were essentially the sa, with the only difference being that the Chinese Yuan was the currency used for transactions outgoing from Mainland China, while the Renminbi was used for dostic trade within China.
I rembered that the Yuan was supposed to stay stable around 8.27 CNY until 2006, so this was clearly showing that the new agreent was being seen as detrintal to the USA.
I quickly shifted my focus to the bond market.
U.S. bonds had started offering higher yields.
The long-term Treasury yield went up from 3.9% to 4.3% just in the last 3 months.
I pulled up a Treasury Bond ETF on my screen.
------------
[USA 20 year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT)] [$78.01]
[Gain/Loss Over Last Month: -3.6%]
------------
The bond prices were dropping, so yields had to rise to attract investors; otherwise, all the money would start flowing to Chinese bonds.
A drop of -3.6% on bonds within a single month...
"This could be dangerous. It should be one of the most stable instrunts." I muttered to myself.
Movents like this could cause problems for the USA when it cos to borrowing money from investors.
I needed to check one last thing—speculations about the new agreent.
There were a lot of rumors about its potential goals.
One major area people were speculating about was the energy sector.
------------
[PetroChina (PTR)] [$120.55]
[Gain/Loss Over Last Month: 22.4%]
------------
[Sinopec Limited (SNP)] [$98.78]
[Gain/Loss Over Last Month: 17.8%]
------------
Clearly, people were making speculative investnts in the Chinese energy sector...
In my previous tiline, there had never been any energy exchange between the two countries; we only collaborated on developing energy-related technology.
But with this agreent, I wouldn't be surprised if the collaboration could go much further.
There were even so ideas about building a gas pipeline through the Pacific.
If such a project were to happen... the speculative investnt could really pay off.
With all of this in mind and with clear plans for tomorrow, I fell asleep.
...
The next morning, I cleaned the house a bit, did my morning exercises, got into my pickup truck and drove to campus.
The bodyguards assigned to were different from the ones I'd seen earlier, but they showed their credentials before I drove off.
One of them followed into the faculty building but stayed outside the lecture halls.
My major had a day off on Friday, but I was taking additional classes.
After the first class, I stepped outside the faculty building and pulled out my phone to make a call.
A call to Luna Park.
It took so ti before she finally picked up. "Yes?" she answered.
"Hi, it's Jack."
"Oh, hi there... Wow. I didn't know you'd call this soon," she said with a teasing edge.
"Well, you offered, so why would I refuse?" I replied.
She chuckled softly. "So... what do you want to do... Jack?"
"Do you know Pri & Pearl restaurant?"
"Pri & Pearl?" she exclaid. "Oh my god. It's such a nice restaurant. But... I will need to dress up then."
"No need to go overboard," I said. "I'll be dressing casually as well."
She laughed lightly. "Hmm... alright. Then, where would you like ?"
"Hmm?"
"Where would you like to pick up?" she said playfully.
"Well, where will you be around 5 p.m.?"
"At my family house," she replied. "But don't you have a bit of a... predicant with my sister? Picking up from the house like this... she could see us, you know?"
"What about the intersection of 9th and 16th Ave, then?"
She giggled. "I'm looking forward to it."
"See you then, Luna."
"Bye bye, Jack."
After ending the call, I went back to my faculty for the rest of the classes.
I got back ho around 4 p.m. and made a call to Sam.
He inford that they had indeed found a spy bug inside their limousine.
That most likely ant that soone installed it without Ricky or any of the bodyguards knowing about it, but I still told Sam to be careful and swap the bodyguards he had hired as soon as the news will co out.
I also asked him if he had soone who could pick up two bottles of half-sweet wine and deliver them to my house.
I couldn't buy alcohol myself, and yet I could use so tonight.
Before 5 p.m., I got into my Ferrari and backed out of the driveway, heading to the eting spot with Luna.
So that she wouldn't have to wait for , I arrived a few minutes early and parked in a small driveway.
At almost exactly 5 p.m., I saw her walking up the sidewalk, her violet hair tossed and fluttered.
She was dressed in a striking black outfit—a black leather jacket over a short skirt that reached a few inches above her knees, revealing just enough of her milky skin down to where her black stockings began, held up by black straps. Everything was completed with a pair of black heels.
I got out of my Ferrari just as Luna reached the curb. She waved at cutely, hastening her steps with a bright smile.
"Hey!" she gave a gentle hug, pressing her breasts against .
I didn't open the door for her; she wasn't the kind of girl that I would be a gentleman with.
She jumped into the passenger seat herself.
I settled back into my seat and started the Ferrari.
"VRRRRRR!" The engine roared to life.
"Oh wow! I love this car already!" Luna exclaid, but I was quite sure that she was not a stranger to driving cars like these.
She had her thighs squeezed together and her hands on her lap the entire ride to the restaurants, like she was trying to act reserved.
When we reached Pri & Pearl, I went to the receptionist to check my reservation.
He nodded and led us to a small, intimate round table in a quiet corner of the restaurant.
As we sat down and looked at the nu, Luna beca really talkative. "I've only been here once before," she said, grinning. "I want to try a few things."
She put the card on the table and pointed at an item on the nu. "Like this steak," she said, biting her lower lip. "I'm sure it's juicy..."
"Order anything you want," I told her.
After we ordered our food, I glanced over at her.
"So, what do you do at ABC News? Do you want to be a reporter?" I asked.
She grinned, her eyes sparkling. "No... not really. I would want to, maybe soti in the future. But I'm not that great at talking. I'm more like a searching-up kinda girl you know; I'm looking for all sorts of things that could beco great news, controversial politics usually, but really anything as long as it's interesting."
She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table and supporting her face with the back of her palms. "What about you?" Her gaze was playful as she looked at . "How can you afford a car like this?"
I looked confidently into her exotic eyes and at her pearl-white face, accentuated by gentle makeup.
"I'm a market analyst," I said. "A good one. I also hold an executive position at one of the largest investnt firms in Orlando."
Luna was clearly fascinated by what I was saying.
Most would find such talk boring, but she was genuinely interested, probably because it made her think about the money involved.
As I finished explaining, I felt a gentle touch on my leg under the table.
I glanced over at Luna, who gave a sly wink. "So... how rich are you, exactly?" she asked, as her foot slowly stroked up and down my right leg.
I t her gaze. "I have a net worth of around 50 million dollars at the mont."
Her eyes widened in genuine surprise.
Then I felt her foot slide up and over my knee, resting on my inner right thigh.
I cleared my throat. "Listen, Luna, hypothetically speaking, if I had sothing for you—sothing that could beco big news—would you be able to relay that information?"
I felt her toes probing against my crotch. "Well... yes, of course." her voice dropped to a sexy tone. "Actually... that's sothing I've been doing for a while. You could say that getting to know influential people is a part of my job...
so I wouldn't mind getting to know you a little closer..."
I could feel her toes clenching as they massaged my confined shaft.
She tilted her head, studying with a curious look. "You're such a great guy. There is no way you don't have a girlfriend already... And yet you're going after my sister?"
"You are mistaken," I said. "I'm not going after your sister."
"Oh? Seriously? But then you must have a girlfriend."
I smiled. "No, I don't."
One of her eyebrows shot up in doubt. "No? Really? I find that hard to believe."
"Well... I do have a girl—friend that I'm close with."
She paused, and then she seed to have a sudden realization. "Oh... Now I see what kind of man you are." She giggled and looked at with a sly grin.
"So..." she leaned in a bit closer across the table and lowered her voice. "Do you have any room in your little harem?"
She rocked her foot back and forth, applying gentle pressure between the tip and base of my cock, all the while throwing sultry glances at . "You know... I can do anything. Missionary. Doggie. Cowgirl.
I pretty much like them all."
"..."
The only position I could think of for her was over my knee.
Her flirting would be cute if I didn't know what a little golddigger she really was.
When the waiter ca with the food, Luna smiled wickedly and stopped stroking, pulling her foot back.
Luna's flirting continued as she ate her steak—giving it lingering licks.
After we left the restaurant, I turned to her. "What do you think about going shopping?"
Her eyes lit up. "Yey! That sounds fun!"
