Chapter 1264 Please call me translator (two-in-one)

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and the year came to 2003.

Wang Yang got married to Li Ping, the fat girl in the movie who was good at cooking. After that, he never interfered in the business activities of "New Dream".

Meng Xiaojun is similar. He travels all day long to second-tier cities such as Shenyang, Chongqing, and Wuhan to provide help to those who want to open English schools.

Cheng Dongqing started the days of "monopoly" until one day, EES in the United States sued "New Dream". The other party's view was that "New Dream" had pirated some TOEFL test materials from EES.

Either the "New Dream" class will be suspended and the two sides will engage in a protracted legal battle. Or, he will go to the United States and have direct contact with EES to see if a consensus acceptable to both parties can be reached.

It's almost like what happened in the movie. When Cheng Dongqing felt helpless, Meng Xiaojun came back and Wang Yang came back too.

Meng Xiaojun is here to help Cheng Dongqing tide over the difficulties, because the "new dream" was created by them alone. If they are hit by this incident and cannot recover, it will not only cause financial losses, but also a heavy blow to their lives.

As for Wang Yang, Wang Yang also said something similar, but Cheng Dongqing always felt that he didn't mean what he said. It could also be said that the drunkard's intention was not to drink.

Conflict, confrontation, incomprehension... these things are not important compared to the difficulties at hand.

This time, in order to face the difficulties from the outside world, the three people chose to face them together.

…

A few days later.

New York, USA.

As the "godfather of studying abroad", President Cheng set foot on the United States for the first time in more than 40 years. Looking at the high-rise buildings and the torrent of steel outside the window, he couldn't help feeling emotional and confused.

Meng Xiaojun is quite familiar with this city, especially the neighborhood where the car is currently located.

"Wang Yang, where are you taking us?"

“A place to eat.”

Meng Xiaojun frowned when he heard this. He talked with the people from EES all morning, but there was no progress. If he had to use one word to describe the meeting process, it should be "talking with chickens and ducks". Americans insisted that "New Dream" stole EES's

The test questions were used to provide students from China with an unfair advantage in the TOEFL exam. Not to mention the stolen test questions, they were used to help Chinese students gain an unfair advantage. This argument was unacceptable to the three of them, and the amount of compensation demanded by EES was too high.

15 million US dollars, which is more than New Dream's profits from those test questions.

When Meng Xiaojun was struggling with how to negotiate in the afternoon, the car stopped on the side of the road. Wang Yang said: "We're here", opened the door and walked out. He put aside the thoughts in his mind, followed Cheng Dongqing and got out of the car, looking up at the restaurant in front of him.

At this time, the whole person was stunned.

"Hey, Wang Yang, can't you eat Western food? You know I can't get used to this."

"How can you eat Chinese food when you come to the United States, unless you want to eat tomato scrambled eggs that are too sweet?"

Meng Xiaojun was indifferent to the conversation between the two people and stared blankly at the Western restaurant opposite.

Yes, this was the restaurant where he worked as a handyman when he was poor. Why would Wang Yang bring them here to eat? To humiliate him?

"Meng Xiaojun, didn't you say you were almost hungry? Why are you standing there in a daze?"

"Wang Yang, why did you bring us to this restaurant?"

"It looks very classy, ​​doesn't it?" Wang Yang said, "Actually... someone recommended it."

"Who recommended it?"

"An alumnus." He gave a very vague answer, opened the door and walked in.

Seeing this, Meng Xiaojun could only calm down and walked into the restaurant with Cheng Dongqing.

The woman who deducted his tip back then was still working in the store and didn't seem to recognize his identity. She very enthusiastically asked them to sit down by the window and asked them what they wanted to eat while holding a small book.

Meng Xiaojun ordered the pastrami and rye burger that he used to love.

Wang Yang's attention was not focused on eating at all. He kept looking into the counter, which aroused Cheng Dongqing's suspicion. After turning around and looking at it for a while, his expression changed. He got up from the chair and pointed at the computer opposite.

The blond woman who clicked said: "She...she...she is..."

"What's wrong?" Meng Xiaojun followed his line of sight and looked over, his expression becoming more and more exciting.

He finally knew why Wang Yang brought them here, because the blond woman was none other than Wang Yang's girlfriend from college, the American journalist LUCY.

But why is LUCY here? And judging from the current situation, it seems that she is the proprietress of a Western restaurant.

Perhaps because their gazes were too hot, LUCY felt something and looked over at the three of them. When she noticed Wang Yang's face, her expression gradually solidified, but she quickly reacted and pushed open the door leading to the counter and the back.

He walked through the waist door of the kitchen and walked up to the three of them.

"Wang Yang? Is it really you?"

It was obvious that she was very happy to meet him here.

"It's me, are you okay?"

"I am fine, and you."

"I am fine too."

After a short period of happiness, I felt embarrassed.

Cheng Dongqing was very sensible and winked at Meng Xiaojun, and the two of them changed tables.

LUCY told the waiter to serve two cups of coffee first.

"How did you know I was here?"

Wang Yang said: "I didn't know you were here, but someone recommended this restaurant to me, saying that if I have a chance to come to the United States, I must come here to sit there, otherwise I will regret it."

"who's that person?"

"A netizen."

LUCY was silent for a while, then turned and walked back to the bar, took out a business card from the drawer and handed it to Wang Yang.

"I remember you said that Chinese people like to give gifts in return."

Wang Yang took the business card in his hand and flipped it back and forth: "Chinatown, Tiansheng Law Firm?"

"What's this?"

"If you encounter difficulties in the United States, you can go here to find help."

The riddle-like exchange between the two made Meng Xiaojun speechless. He couldn't help but stand up and asked: "LUCY, aren't you a reporter? How come you came to be the boss of this Western restaurant?"

LUCY said: "I quit my job as a reporter when I came back from China. It wasn't until the year of my divorce that someone gave it to me as a birthday gift."

"Who is so generous?"

"a friend."

It's obvious that LUCY doesn't want to talk.

"Let's go." Wang Yang stood up.

"Let's go, don't want to eat?" Cheng Dongqing didn't understand that he was crazy, so it was fine if he was not allowed to eat. He has been thinking about LUCY all these years, and now that we are destined to see each other again, he doesn't want to stay for a while longer, but stands up and leaves. Does he want to

Is this to express loyalty to Li Ping?

"Just leave if I tell you to. There is so much nonsense."

Seeing that Wang Yang was anxious, Cheng Dongqing could only reluctantly eat less than a third of the bacon and egg burger, and walked out of the restaurant with Meng Xiaojun.

"Wang Yang, something is wrong with you."

The three of them returned to the car, and Cheng Dongqing looked at the face in the rearview mirror with a puzzled expression.

Wang Yang handed over the business card that LUCY gave him just now.

Cheng Dongqing was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Aren't we going to file a lawsuit with EES? Don't you think it's a coincidence that LUCY gave me such a business card as soon as we met?" Wang Yang explained to the two of them as he drove the car why he didn't chat more with his old lover.

In other words, the reason for leaving in a hurry without even bothering to eat.

"Maybe... although she returned to the United States, she has been paying attention to the 'New Dream', or your affairs."

"Cheng Dongqing, you are so good at making connections."

At this time, Meng Xiaojun, who had been silent in the back seat, spoke.

"Do you know what the Western restaurant I just went to has to do with me?"

Cheng Dongqing looked over with a puzzled expression, and Wang Yang also took a deep look at him through the rearview mirror.

"The Western restaurant I just went to is the one where I worked as a handyman."

A simple sentence brought overwhelming feelings to Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang.

"No way..." Cheng Dongqing asked Wang Yang, "Who is your schoolmate?"

"Just a girl who chased me in college."

…

Soon, the three of them arrived in Chinatown.

Compared with other neighborhoods, the majority of faces here are yellow, with various light boxes and signboards hanging left and right, Taste Kitchen, Guangzeng Restaurant, Hongpeng Optical Shop, Lili Beauty Center, Xiyunlai Teahouse...

Following the guidance of the business card, the three of them arrived in front of a two-story building called Huatu Law Firm. In addition to the phone number and business scope, the plaque also specifically stated the words "free legal consultation for Chinese people".
