Chapter 1101 Home Visi (1/2)
Even if they had the money, Mr. and Mrs. Li still had no intention to leave the country.
They said that if Li Du missed them, he could return home for a visit.
It was not that the two of them found the idea of an overseas journey troublesome. They
simply realized that the amount of money they would spend if both of them went to
America would be more than if Li Du journeyed home alone.
Li Du said, ”I want to invite both of you to America for two reasons. The first one is to
travel and the second one is to meet Sophie. If there is no objection on your part, we
want to get engaged.”
Hearing that, Mr. and Mrs. Li became interested. ”You want to get engaged to Sophie?
What's her opinion on that?”
”Just waiting for me to make the proposal.”
Mrs. Li took the phone and said, ”Then why are you waiting for us to come over? You
want to get married. In the future, you will be living with Sophie. Why do you care about
our opinion? It's fine as long as you both can live happily.”
Li Du lost his smile and said, ”You both are open-minded. But shouldn't you meet her
first before you give your approval?”
Mrs. Li said, ”Then we will go to America. Help us buy the flight tickets and then waiting
for us there. We will take the plane ourselves.”
When Li Du went to college, his parents had taken a trip to the south of China. They
had traveled there by airplane, and hence, were no strangers to flying.
Out of filial piety, Li Du still wanted to go home and bring his parents over personally.
After all, it would be an international flight, and his parents would have to arrange for
their passport and visa, which would be troublesome tasks.
However, now that he had the JP Morgan Palladium card, those things were easier.
He dialed the number of the personalized customer service line and told the staff about
his situation. He requested that the bank would bring his parents over with a more
convenient procedure.
The customer service receptionist told him to hang on and returned his call in just over
ten minutes. ”Hello, Mr. Li. According to our information, we have some colleagues who
will be flying over to Los Angeles from the capital of China on November 20th. If you
feel that the timing is suitable, our colleagues can help to bring your parents over to Los
Angeles.”
”And the passport and visa?”
”Let us take care of those aspects. Please organize the required information and we will
send someone to your door to collect it. The passport can be ready in three days and
the visa can be approved on the same day the passport is ready.”
Li Du was pleased with the answer. The JP Morgan Chase Palladium card was indeed
powerful.
JP Morgan Chase was a bank, but not a regular one. To most people, it was only a
place to deposit their money. To its VIP members, JP Morgan Chase was an
organization that provided an all-rounded service.
All the big banks, as a matter of fact, could provide all-rounded service. However, that
was reserved for VIP members.
Clients who carried a Black Brazil MasterCard, Citigroup Black Chairman Card, Visa
Infinity Card, Express Centurion Card, or JP Morgan Chase Palladium Card would hold
a very high status in the bank and could enjoy many services for free.
Li Du had only requested them to help process the applications. That was a minor thing.
Palladium card holders could enjoy the JP Morgan Chase 24-hour VIP service. There
was someone standing by to offer them assistance round the clock.
That was America. It was a heaven for the rich. As long as you had the money, there
would be anything anywhere for you.
After settling that, Li Du started to think about how he could make the introduction to
Sophie.
It would be the first time for his parents and Sophie to meet. He did not want anything to
go wrong. It was fortunate that both parties had already seen each other through video
calls. Sophie has been studying Chinese and had chatted with his parents previously.
He continued to think about that. At lunchtime, someone visited him at his place.
