Smith is a senior editor at Vanity Fair magazine, the kind with a private office.

Vanity Fair is keen to chase the private lives of celebrities and celebrities, so most of the magazine's editors are in close contact with the paparazzi.

Smith crossed his legs, lay on his back in the boss's chair, listened to Hartman's report, said "contact later", put a pen to his forehead, and fell into deep thought.

Smith's assistant, a skinny Latino man, stepped forward and hung up, standing with his hands in his hands.

Smith raised his eyelids and asked, "Anthony, what do you think?" he said, glancing at a document on his desk.

At the top of the information, there is a photo of Li Yuan.

Anthony also read the information, and he said expressionlessly: "It's incredible. ”

"Even you think it's incredible?" Smith shook his head and said, "Yes, a teenager, he has a knowledge reserve that many adults don't have, and even has special functions, hehe......"

It cannot be ruled out that Hartmann is exaggerating. ”

"I know him, he won't do that, at least this time he didn't exaggerate ......" Smith played with his pen and said: "Hartman didn't know that this teenager would come to the United States in advance, in such a short period of time, even Hollywood screenwriters can't make up such a wonderful story, let alone involve the Greenberg family, the real situation is not difficult to verify, Hartman will not play any boring tricks." ”

"Hmm. Anthony nodded approvingly.

"So, it's really big news. Smith laughed, "You know who he reminds me of? ”

"McFly is a fictional ...... from the movie"

"Yes, I know he's fictional, but don't you think he's like it? With wisdom far beyond his years, and prophetic powers, to be honest, I doubt he's from the future. ”

"It's not funny. Anthony said seriously.

"I'm just kidding, we both know it's impossible. ”

Not knowing that what he was joking about had actually pointed to the truth, Smith dropped the pen on the table and said, "So there's only one explanation, he's not an ordinary person." ”

"You're talking nonsense, Mr. Smith. ”

"I know it's. Well, let's break it down. ”

Smith sat up straight, picked up a pen and scribbled on the paper.

As he wrote, he said.

"To be able to get the consulate to come forward to greet him shows that his identity is not simple, so the question is, what is his identity?" Smith said to himself: "Is it a spy trained by the Chinese military? No, a spy wouldn't be so public......"

"It's a smokescreen......," Anthony interrupted Smith with his own opinion.

Just then, the phone rang.

Smith stopped to answer the phone, and then said to Anthony: "You think too much, the experts told us that the teenager was a 'amateur'. ”

Anthony didn't ask which expert was calling or what amateurism meant.

"So then," Smith continued, "there's only one possibility. He was of noble birth and had a very professional education, which explains why he knew so much, and it made sense for the ambassador to come and greet him, after all, Chinese take bureaucratic hierarchies very seriously......"

"He's not a small one. ”

"Yes, I don't know his specific background, but what does the surname Lee remind you of?"

“BruceLee？”

"Lee is a big surname in China, and it is said that there were emperors in ancient times......"

"China doesn't have an emperor now. ”

"I know, don't interrupt me. Although there is no emperor now, it does not mean that there is no big family. Smith paused and asked, "I heard that the president intends to sign a permanent normal trade agreement with China?"

Anthony couldn't keep up with Smith's jumping train of thought, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, the House of Representatives has been considering this proposal, and it's hard to say whether it can be passed, but as far as I know, there are many people who support it, after all, the annual review of trade is too cumbersome, and the Chinese market is very vast......"

"Bill Archer has been pushing for this?" Smith asked another question.

Anthony thought for a moment before answering this question, mainly thinking about who Bill Archer was.

"Yes. ”

"That's it. ”

Smith laughed, "Bill Archer visited China in 1997, and he is said to have a good personal relationship with a certain Chinese leader......"

When Anthony heard this, he couldn't help but say, "That one is also surnamed Lee, but it's ......"

"No, though. Smith waved his hand and said, "Bill Archer is a Texas congressman, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and he's a Texan, um, so I have reason to believe that he brought friendship not only to China, but also Texas Hold'em." ”

“……”

Anthony looked at Smith, a little speechless at his reasoning. Poker is not a specialty, and most Americans can play it, which is as far-fetched as associating Sichuan mahjong with Sichuan people.

"I know that's a bit far-fetched," Smith continued, "the problem is, he [referring to Li Yuan] was chatting with Greenberg and he also mentioned Booth Jr., not only knowing that Booth Jr. was the governor of Texas, but also knowing that he was interested in running for the next president, do you think ordinary children would care about these things? Or rather, where did he get the information?"

"Is he really what you say?"

"Yes, no accident, he is from the Li family. ”

Smith threw away the pen again and said with a smile: "This can be explained, a young man from a political family must have received an elite education, and his vision and insight are naturally not comparable to ordinary people, in fact, our experts also have the same opinion, this teenager's tutor is very unusual, although he deliberately concealed it, but some habits still reveal his true origin." ”

Anthony didn't interrupt Smith, but responded with an inquiring look.

Smith shook his head and said, "It's not clear what he's here for, but I don't think it's going to be a vacation." ”

Anthony's gaze shifted to his desk.

There are three telephones on the desk, one black and one white.

Smith also looked over, skipped the white phone, his eyes fell on the black phone, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose to give up.

"It's not appropriate for us to come forward in this matter, first, because he's not a spy, and second, because he's ...... Mr. President doesn't want anyone to cause trouble at this time, so let's leave it to the FBI people to have a headache. ”

"We're not going to do anything?" asked Anthony.

"Of course you can't do nothing. Anthony laughed, "Let Hartman follow suit." ”

"Okay. ”

"No, that's not good. Anthony quickly repudiated the previous decision and said: "Hartman is a paparazzi after all, it is not good to cause misunderstanding, you transfer the money to him in a while, tell him to leave this matter alone, if necessary, you can properly reveal some of the other party's identity, so as not to overwhelm him." As for contact with the other party, there is no need to hide it, after all, we are a serious publication, and it is good to send a smart reporter to follow up on the visit. Well...... Also, tell someone to keep an eye on Bill Archer and see if he's in contact with anyone lately, if he's going to betray American interests......"

Smith said this, and there was a fierce glint in his narrowed eyes.

……

Li Yuan knew that this visit to the United States might attract the attention of the FBI, but what he didn't expect was that before he left the airport, he fell into the CIA's field of vision, and even the secrets of the reborn were almost seen through.

But even if he knew, it wouldn't make a difference.

Li Yuan's biggest headache now is the big battle caused by the consulate.

Consul General Dai Chunlai is obviously a person who knows the truth - no matter how he knows it, although he did not indicate it throughout the whole process, but through eye contact, Li Yuan is very sure of this.

However, Dai Chunlai knew it, but the others didn't, and there was more or less disgust in the eyes they thought they were well hidden.

Seeing that his arrogant and domineering style was so unpopular, Li Yuan was relieved and not only had a headache.

I am glad that this drama has deceived even my own people, and the headache is the negative impact that may result.

After all, he is only responsible for the squirrel, but the unwarranted elders need to carry the black pot.

I guess these people won't be talking nonsense behind their backs......

As for why......

Isn't it a matter of course for a gentleman to do anything out of the ordinary?

Of course, further foreshadowing is needed.

Thereupon......

When Dai Chunlai cordially led Li Yuan to the consulate's dining room and introduced him to a table of sumptuous "hometown dishes" with a smile on his face, Li Yuan smiled politely at him and said, "I thought you all ate Western food in the United States. ”

"The consulate has its own chef, and they prepared the dish overnight for today's table. Of course, we also invited two French chefs to prepare desserts......"

Dai Chun said, pointing to the two blonde chefs standing on the side, and the other party smiled kindly and politely at Li Yuan when he saw this.

"Dessert...... Li Yuan frowned slightly distressed, and said, "I don't like sweets very much." ”

As soon as these words were spoken, except for the two foreigners, who looked dazed, the rest of the staff changed their faces one after another—still smiling, but the smile was very stiff, and Li Yuan guessed that they must be scolding themselves for not knowing how to lift.

Li Yuan didn't seem to be able to see the change in everyone's expressions, turned his head to Zhao Min and said, "Haven't you always wanted to eat authentic French food?" I heard that there is a Bernardin restaurant in Manhattan, and the seafood is well cooked, why don't we go there to eat?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't even maintain a fake smile, and one of the young female staff members couldn't help but say: "We have spent so much effort, you ......"

"Xiao Chen!"

Dai Chunlai glared at the woman sternly and didn't let her continue.

The woman closed her mouth aggrievedly, and her eyes instantly turned red, but she still tried to restrain herself and did not shed tears.

Another older woman went over and patted her on the shoulder, hugged her and prepared to leave, when Li Yuan spoke.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Yuan stopped the two of them and said, "Miss Chen, can you please accompany us on a trip?" After all, I am a newcomer to the United States, and I am not familiar with the place, so I have nowhere to explain if I am abducted and trafficked. ”

Li Yuan said a cold joke, and everyone cooperated with the fake laugh twice, and Li Yuan's gaze became more and more unkind.

"I'd better go. ”

A young man took the initiative to ask for help and said to Dai Chun: "I happen to know where that restaurant is, I'll send Mr. Li over." ”

Dai Chunlai didn't say anything, but looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "It's better not to bother others, just take this opportunity to make amends to Miss Chen, is Miss Chen willing to appreciate it?"

In this way, the man who tried to save the scene was helpless, and the eyes of the others looking at the woman became more and more sympathetic.

Being targeted by this kind of squish, can it be solved by eating a meal?

Miss Chen's originally flushed face turned pale, and she reluctantly smiled and said to Li Yuan: "I'm really sorry, I'm not feeling well today......

"If you are not feeling well, you need to supplement your nutrition. Li Yuan interrupted her and said with a smile: "Or is Miss Chen unwilling to give me this face?"

Li Yuan said, his face turned cold.

Alas......

Everyone sighed in their hearts, admiring Li Yuan's ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open. Of course, what is more "admired" is his vision, otherwise why not find someone else, instead of looking for the youngest and most beautiful?
