"Thank you, big man, thank you so much today!" Ajali Ranadive said to Tang Qian with a happy face.
"My.pleasure, you're welcome." Tang Qian also said.
"What should he do now?" Tang Qian asked.
"Don't worry about him. As long as he is still breathing, he will not die." Ajali Ranadive said.
"What about her?" Tang Qian pointed to the bed again.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I have achieved the purpose of this trip, that's enough." Ajali Ranadive said: "Let's go, the party should have started, since we are here, let's have a good time.
"
"Oh, okay then, by the way, do you know where the toilet is?" Tang Qian asked.
"I'm not familiar with it either, but you can use the toilet in this room. He doesn't have any objection anyway, right." Ajali Ranadive said with a smile.
"Uh, okay." Tang Qian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, saving himself the trouble of going out and looking for it again.
Walking out of the leisure area, Tang Qian said to Ajali Ranadive: "I'm going over there. My friend is over there. Where are you?"
"I want to go to that corner. My best friend is waiting for me there." After Ajali Ranadive finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue and said: "She doesn't know the purpose of my coming today, otherwise she will definitely stop her.
mine."
Nonsense, if you do such a dangerous thing alone, your friends will stop you!
If you hadn't met me, you don't know what would have happened!
Tang Qian silently cursed in his heart, and then said: "Then go over quickly, don't make people wait too long, otherwise the secret will be exposed easily."
"Okay, I get it. I'll go now. Say goodbye to the big man." Before taking two steps, Ajali Ranadive turned around and asked, "By the way, big man, what's your name?"
"
"My name is Tang Qian, from China." Tang Qian introduced himself.
"Oh, hot money, I remember." Ajali Ranadive said: "My name is Ajali Ranadive, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too, beautiful lady." Tang Qian smiled slightly and replied.
…
"Tang, why have you been gone for so long? If you don't come back, I will issue a missing person notice!" After seeing Tang Qian's figure, Taylor Swift complained angrily, looking very cute.
"It took me a little longer to find the toilet," Tang Qian replied.
"Really, they thought you left me and went to pick up girls by yourself!" Taylor said.
After seeing Karlie Kloss, Tang Qian seemed to remember something, hesitated for a few seconds, and then whispered: "Taylor, is Karlie Kloss's boyfriend named Joshua?"
"Yeah? Huh? Why do you ask this?" Taylor said in confusion.
"Well, um, Taylor, do you have a photo of Joshua? I want to take a look." Tang Qian said.
"Joshua's photo? How could I have a photo of him? He is not me! But if you must see it, there is nothing you can do." After Taylor finished speaking, he took out his phone, clicked on it, and said
: "Well, this is it, he is Joshua Kushner."
Sure enough, it turned out to be him.
Tang Qian looked at the photos on the website, suddenly lowered his voice, and said to Taylor Swift: "Taylor, I want to tell you something..."
In just a few minutes, Tang Qian finished narrating, of course, he omitted "some parts".
"What? Don? Are you sure you saw it correctly?" Taylor Swift asked after hearing this: "Is it really Joshua Kushner?"
"Well, it should be right. I also heard the woman in the room call his name, so it shouldn't be wrong." After thinking for a while, Tang Qian nodded.
"Shi.t~ I knew this Joshua Kushner was not a good guy. He was indeed a playboy who played around with women!!!" Taylor stamped his feet angrily as if a fuse had been lit: "Don
, if it hadn’t been for you today, Carly would have been fooled for how long! This scumbag is really abominable! He actually made a big show of going to Carly’s party and went to bed with another woman! Shameless!”
Seeing Taylor being so aggressive and about to cause a scene at the party, Tang Qian immediately stopped him and said, "Taylor, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing? What did you say you were doing?" Taylor said angrily: "Of course, to expose some people's true colors!"
"Wait a minute, Taylor." Tang Qian heard this and said, "You can't run over in such an angry manner now!"
"Why?" Taylor asked.
"If you do this, how will Karlie Klaus step down? Listen to me and talk to her in private later, so as not to make things worse and make her a laughing stock," Tang Qian said.
Taylor thought for a while and felt that Tang Qian was right. After all, good sisters also have to take into account their face.
"Okay then, I'll let that scumbag go for now! I'll talk to Carly after the party is over."
This kind of private party is sometimes more like a "network introduction meeting". Many people can take advantage of this opportunity to open new "network doors" for themselves. But this kind of thing has nothing to do with Tang Qian. Taylor has to go and meet many people.
Tang Qian has no such motivation at all when dealing with people in the music industry. He came to the United States and Los Angeles not to "make connections" or "make connections". His purpose of coming to the other side of the ocean is very clear and simple, and that is to play basketball.
.
Play basketball seriously.
Just playing basketball.
Other than that, there is nothing else to think about.
So when Taylor went out to "socialize", he sat on a sofa alone, ate and ate to his heart's content.
"Hey~ friend, why are you here alone?" Tang Qian, who was eating, looked up and saw an Asian face.
"Who are you?" Tang Qian opened his mouth and asked.
"My name is Chen Jinwen. I am the Sheriff here today and a senior police officer of the Los Angeles Division." The Asian woman was dressed in a police uniform and asked again: "Sir, which country are you from? China? Japan? South Korea? Or Singapore?"
"
"I am Chinese, my name is Tang Qian." Tang Qian replied.
"Chinese? Do you speak Chinese?" Chen Jinwen asked with some excitement.
"Of course, officer." Tang Qian replied in Chinese.
"That's great, Mr. Tang. It's rare to meet Chinese people on such occasions." Chen Jinwen said.
"Really?" Tang Qian turned his head, looked at it and said, "It seems to be true. Are there very few Chinese in Los Angeles?"
"Not a lot, but quite a lot. According to our rough statistics, it is close to 800,000." Chen Jinwen sat down and said.
"Then why..." Tang Qian asked.
"Because more and more Chinese are pouring into the United States, the original stable order has been disrupted. Without rules and order, Los Angeles Chinatown has begun to deteriorate year by year." Chen Jinwen seems to be particularly chatty about "comatriots"
, and then said: "Don't be deceived by TV. The vast majority of Chinese people do not live a good life in the United States. There are only a handful of glamorous ones. And many people on the Internet say that times are different now, and you don't have to live in the United States.
Start washing dishes, then you can directly go to school and then enter the middle-class white-collar class." At this point, Chen Jinwen smiled, shook his head and said: "But what is the reality? I immigrated to the United States from Singapore when I was 14 years old, and until now, I have seen so-called 'Chinese'
To start a business, you still have to wash dishes, do odd jobs, and work as a waiter. After that, you will be a poor person at the bottom of the class after working for the rest of your life."
"How is that possible?" Tang Qian was surprised and asked, "Many people from China now come to study in the United States. How could they do such a thing?"
"Are you talking about international students?" Chen Jinwen replied: "How many international students who can come to the United States to study are ordinary people? Besides, most of them just come to get gold plated and have fun. Once they graduate, they return to China with their overseas diplomas.
They are not representative at all. Those who do not return to China and whose family background is a little more ordinary still have their heads broken in Los Angeles and live in darkness every day. Haven't you noticed that in most enterprises and companies,
Is it rare to see Chinese people? That’s because most Chinese people are still struggling at the bottom!”
When Tang Qian heard this, his heart gradually became heavy, because seeing is better than hearing. When he thought about it carefully, the situation in the United States was really the same as what Chen Jinwen said. Except for a very small number of elites, most ordinary Chinese
They all appear in the service industry, doing the hardest and most tiring jobs, and earning pitiful meager salaries.
"Then why don't they go back?" Tang Qian asked a question that had been suppressed in his heart for many years.
“Some people are unwilling to go back because they want to save face, some people have already gotten married and had children in the United States and cannot go back, and some people have stayed in the United States for too long and have few familiar people in the country, so they are too lazy to do so.
Go back." Chen Jinwen answered fluently, as if this was not the first time he answered this question.
"Yes, really." After hearing Chen Jinwen's answer, Tang Qian said in silence.
"Then why do you want to be a policeman?" After about ten seconds, Tang Qian suddenly asked.
Chen Jinwen shrugged his shoulders and said: "First, I have a background in the police. My grandfather and uncle were both police officers. Second, in the United States, the police is a profession with a very good salary. Even if you just join the police force, every year
There is also a salary of US$32,000. After five years at most, this salary will rise to US$72,000 per year, while the average per capita income in the United States is only US$40,000 per year, which is quite good no matter how you look at it. Third, there are so many Chinese in Los Angeles.
We need a Chinese policeman to uphold justice, don't we? You have to know that in the United States, it seems to be a free and just country, but in fact, racial discrimination and racial discrimination are very prevalent, and the status of Chinese people is sometimes worse than that of black people."
"Really?" Tang Qian fell into a brief silence again, because the real America was different from his imagination.
"Sorry, I haven't seen my Chinese compatriots for a long time, so I talk a bit too much. Please don't mind, Mr. Tang." Chen Jinwen said, breaking the silence.
"It's okay, I'm happy to talk to you." Tang Qian finally smiled and said.
"Okay, I've talked to you for too long, so now, I have to leave, otherwise people may complain about my work attitude." Chen Jinwen stood up and said.
"Oh, it's okay, you go and do your work. Work is important." Tang Qian also stood up and said goodbye to her.
"Wow~, Mr. Tang, I didn't expect you to be so tall! What is your occupation?" After seeing Tang Qian's height, Chen Jinwen couldn't help but ask.
"I play basketball and now I play for the Lakers." Tang Qian replied.
"Lakers? Are you an NBA star?" Chen Jinwen said in surprise.
"No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary player in the NBA, not a star," Tang Qian said.
"No wonder you can sit here. In the United States, sports stars are very popular mainstream idols~" Chen Jinwen said: "It seems that I will have to watch the Lakers games in the future."
"By the way, this is my personal business card. If you have anything in the future, you can call me on the phone number above." Chen Jinwen said, "I hope you can have a good time tonight!"
"Well, thank you." Tang Qian felt more cordial when facing the Chinese compatriots, smiled slightly, and nodded.
Shortly after Chen Jinwen left, Tang Qian suddenly saw a familiar face.
Tang Qian frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said in surprise:
Why is it him???
