Section 184 Excuse me, are you from the Xia Kingdom?
Twenty minutes later, extremely on time.
Gwen Reese stood up: "Jeff, I need five minutes to change clothes and seven minutes to put on makeup. We will meet at the door in twelve minutes. The time on the road is uncertain. It is estimated to be about twenty-five minutes. The next forty minutes will be
For dress fitting, the final time for the dress fitting will be determined based on the time on the road.”
"At 11:45, we are going to have lunch with Mr. Clay. At three o'clock in the afternoon, you can come back and accompany Mr. Bai to the movie studio. I have a tea party. At seven o'clock in the evening, there will be
The celebration company came to arrange the arrangements, and the first party to welcome Mr. Bai started at 8:30."
"Okay, okay." Jeff quickly got up and went to change clothes, without even having time to say hello to Bai Hao.
Gwen nodded and smiled politely at Bai Hao, then looked at the time and left quickly.
In the afternoon, Jeff came back with a tired look on his face.
After seeing Bai Hao: "I really don't want to go out. You can go out and walk around by yourself."
"Turn, nothing will get better. I'm here to make a fortune."
Jeff thought for a while and threw the car keys to Bai Hao: "You should always visit the Fleischer headquarters."
Bai Hao looked at the car keys: "My driver's license probably doesn't work."
"It's easy."
It's really easy to have money.
Jeff was really tired, so he found a lawyer to take Bai Hao with him. He didn't have to wait in line to take a written test of the corresponding traffic rules in California, and then the lawyer submitted the translation of Bai Hao's original driver's license in Xia Guo.
Finally, you can also use your own car and have someone watch you drive around.
A California permit that allows you to drive on the road is enough. If you want a full California driver's license, you need to apply for it, and then complete the complete test at the designated time.
Xia Guo, there is no private driving license in this era.
Bai Hao's driver's license is a card with detailed unit and position on it.
In one afternoon, Bai Hao could drive freely in California, and the license could not be used outside California.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the party officially started.
The manor's swimming pool is filled with water.
The guests who come are divided into four categories. The first category is the invited guests, these are the VIPs. Then there are the friends brought by the invited guests. According to Bai Hao's understanding, there should be no difference, but in reality there is a difference.
You can tell by the attitude of the waiter.
The top-notch caviar is only available to invited guests. It looks like a buffet, but there are purple tablecloths and tablecloths of other colors.
The next two are more magical. One is to spend money to buy invitations, which is equivalent to being a guest.
The last one is someone giving them money in the name of paying customers for carriage fares.
The banquet was at half past seven. In fact, almost everyone had arrived, but Bai Hao was still resting upstairs in the manor, and Jeff didn't move. Seeing that Jeff didn't move, Bai Hao also sat still.
Jeff glanced downstairs from the window: "No hurry, wait a moment."
Bai Hao didn't ask what he was waiting for. Jeff's fiancée didn't go down anyway and seemed to be waiting for an important guest.
After another full fifteen minutes, Jeff stood up: "It's almost done. Let's go."
Bai Hao thought he was waiting for an important guest, but he was not.
But waiting for the wine.
When the person in charge of the banquet brings the most expensive bottle of wine tonight to the table with purple tablecloth, the person at the top of the banquet will appear in the center of the banquet.
Opening wine is a ceremony between host and guest.
Wengelis appeared in front of the microphone in an evening dress: "Everyone, this is a welcome reception tonight to welcome a friend of my fiancé who came to California from across the ocean. Invite, Hao Bai from Xia Country.
"
Bai Hao strode to the front desk wearing a pure white dress.
After a gentle ceremonial hug with Wenglis, a waiter also wearing a formal dress brought a bottle of wine to Bai Hao with both hands. Bai Hao only needed to gently knock off the cork.
One small, two large, three champagne towers began to pour wine, and the party officially began.
Bai Hao and Jeff, as hosts, exchanged greetings with a few important guests, and Jeff excused himself from having a headache and went back to the house to rest.
Bai Hao pulled Jeff aside and said, "Wait a minute, although I have a driving license, I'm not familiar with the road, and I still need to understand what's going on here, such as food, scenery, and find me a driver."
Jeff looked around the manor and shook his head gently: "I'm not used to people wearing black suits and black sunglasses following me all the time. You can call the travel agency tomorrow morning, or find a part-time job directly at the university.
Anyway, the university is about to have a holiday, and there are a lot of people working part-time."
"Then..." Bai Hao wanted to ask something else. Jeff reached out and put a hand on Bai Hao's shoulder: "Believe me, you are making the right date. You don't want those bodyguards to follow you all the time. It's not interesting at all. My head hurts."
All right.
Bai Hao could only do this and watched Jeff walk into the house.
Jeff ran away, but Gwen Reese introduced many people to Bai Hao.
It can be said that at least one-third of the California socialite circle is here. There are also several popular celebrities.
After the first round of introductions, several people who had not been introduced took the initiative to chat with Bai Hao, and the chat was nothing more than investment and Xia Guo's customs. Some people talked about their own projects, probably to attract investment.
Bai Hao dealt with them one by one.
At the same time, Bai Hao noticed that in this party, there were famous movie stars in his memory, as well as a few faces of Xia people, but they were dressed in waiters' clothes.
Come to think of it, it was probably a work-study program.
When Bai Hao is alone, there is always a girl from Xia country wearing a waiter's clothes who hangs next to Bai Hao for a while holding a tray with one hand to deliver wine, fruit cups, cakes and snacks.
Bai Hao reached out and picked up a glass of martini. He looked at the other person clearly as if he didn't want to leave. Bai Hao spoke: "What do you want to say?"
"I, are you from Xia country?"
"certainly."
"If you need a tour guide in California, I can." After saying that, the person quickly explained: "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I was sorting out the wine boxes behind the pillar next to where you were talking."
Bai Hao smiled: "You know, if you are complained, your work tonight will be in vain."
In an instant, the girl's face turned pale with fear.
"It's okay, at least I won't complain against you. It's not easy for people who have traveled across the ocean. When others ask, you tell your foreman that we are talking here and I am asking you about some local specialties here.
It’s not like you came to me on purpose, let alone what I heard, this is very taboo.”
"Thank you, thank you." The girl looked grateful.
After being grateful, he said: "I came from Jingzhao. I am a student at Jiaotong University. I failed to be eligible for public employment. As a result, the job assignment has to be postponed. I wanted to give it a try and applied for self-support. So I have to continue here.
Work part-time to earn tuition and living expenses.”
