Todos os capítulos de Rick's Dilemma: Capítulo 161 - Capítulo 170

After speaking to General Han and then Old Wilson, Rick waited for Jonathan to call him back. He didn't have to wait long. Jonathan called and said "Mr. Windham suggested noon tomorrow at the Beijing Diner in mid town. It is a very popular restuarant and has private rooms for business meeting. He said that he had booked the Shang Room Suite for our lunch." Rick thanked him for the information "I will be there in your office first thing in the morning to brief you on what we are planning. See you then!" After buying the big jet at Old Wilson's suggesstion, it had been so much easier getting to where Rick needed to be at a moment's notice. However, using that plane for just a short trip seemed a waste. So Old Wilson found a smaller coporate jet for the short distance flights, such as from Fing City to Beijing, Tang and even to the local airport in Jelang. Rick saw the value in this, so he didn't balk at the price tag of a second plane, even though it was high, $78 million. It wa

Lois was going completely stir crazy. Howard came by regularly, but other than him, she saw no one. Her youngest brother Heyward was too busy, and his wife Jean never really liked Lois in the first place. Lois decided it was time to try to mend fences. Therefore, she decided to arrange a family dinner in her home. After all, it was just Howard, Heyward, Jean and herself left living in Jelang since Rick and Debbie had lured Alice and their parents to move to Fing City. And her baby sister Rebecca had moved to Shanghai. Everyone was curious as to what Lois was up to this time, so they reluctantly agreed to show up. Lois had the guards bring her the ingredients for a big meal that she would cook herself for the banquet that she had planned. It had to be the best for her relatives if she was to get back in their good graces. Lois was adamant about changing their minds about her. Howard was the first to arrive. He was timid at first, not knowing what Lois had up her sleave. J

Since Rick had set up office space in the RBG Tower, He drove Debbie to the office every day. It was a time for them to get in the right frame of mind for the workday ahead. On this morning, Rick had a bit of news for Debbie. Old Wilson had called him the night before with a report on Lois, via General Han. "Debbie, last night Old Wilson told me that the security detail that is guarding your mother had been observing some strange behavior from Lois. She had been stuffing paper in and around cushions, under chairs and beds and even filling the space behind drapes with old newspapers. Now, I don't want to alarm you, but the general thinks that Lois is going to do one of two things. First, she may be planning her suicide, or two, she plans to burn down the house. Either way, it looks like a fire is in her plans. What do you think of this bazarre behavior?" Debbie was not surprised by any of it. She knew her mother to be a bit off at the best of times. "Mom could have somethi

Larry Watters came to Jelang to start the renovation of the property for Lois. He was always glad of the work that Rick and Debbie threw his way. When he thought of the millions that the RBG Group had spent with him, his gratitude knew no bounds. So he was determined to do a great job for Debbie's mother. Lois came to the scene to do a walk through with Larry. She wanted to be sure that the apartment would be as luxurious as Ting Gap. If she couldn't live with her daughter in that opulent villa, she was going to make sure that she had a taste of it here in Jelang. Lois wanted her new home to be the envy of everyone in the village. Lois had been thinking about the shop. Her knowledge of the village told her that a high end clothing store, or some fancy home furnishing shop would not do very well in such a poor area. So she was thinking of something that would have local sourses for inventory, but unique to anything else around. In the end, she settled on a second hand dress sho

As the troop from Fing City were preparing to leave, Lois asked Debbie if they were going to stay the night, or drive back. It was five hours or so of driving time, four hours on the train. However, it was only an hour by jet to Fing City. Lois did not know of the jet that Rick had bought. Debbie said to her mother "We came by private jet. So we will be home in an hour after we take off. I want to be home in time to put the babies to bed." Lois was shocked at this. "You mean that you chartered a private plane just to come to my opening? That's amazing!" "No Mom. Rick has acquired a small jet for local travel. It makes things a lot easier to get around. We have to go to Beijing more often now, as well as other locations in the area that take too long to drive, or even take the train. But we will come back to see you soon!" Lois was surprised that her daughter and son-in-law were so rich. She knew that Rick had gotten a lot of wealth and assets when his father died, but t
