"I have to say, you surprised me again," Heim said with emotion: "You remind me of when I was sixteen years old, when I was daydreaming every day, and my biggest dream was to become a great player like Di Maggio, do you know Di Maggio?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "I know, the most legendary player of the New York Yankees." ”

"Wow, I thought the Chinese only knew ping-pong!" Heim said in surprise, "I'm so curious about what else you don't know?"

Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Actually, I don't know anything about baseball, and I know that he is still because of Monroe, Marilyn Monroe." ”

Joe DiMaggio, one of the greatest players in the history of Major League Baseball, is the equivalent of Michael Jordan in Major League Baseball to the NBA. Of course, his personal life is also full of legends, the most well-known is his marriage to Monroe in just eight months.

Needless to say, who Monroe is, this sexy stunner has had three marriages, all of which ended in divorce. Di Maggio is her second husband and the shortest marriage, only 274 days, but after Monroe's death, Di Maggio was the only ex-husband to attend her funeral. In the decades that followed, DiMaggio remained so fond of Monroe that he never remarried, and for many years he insisted on personally laying flowers at Monroe's grave every Wednesday.

Li Yuan briefly told Feng Wan the story of Di Maggio.

"It's so romantic!"

It was not Feng Wan who spoke, but Shen Zhuyin.

"Are you awake?" Li Yuan glanced at Shen Zhuyin and found that the corners of her eyes were a little moist, "Can you understand what we are saying?"

"Don't underestimate me!" Shen Zhuyin slapped Li Yuan in annoyance and asked, "Why did you say Monroe divorced him......?"

"It's said that Monroe has schizophrenia, but the more important reason, I think, is probably that DiMaggio is too proactive, you know, people don't care too much about things that are easy to get. ”

"Is that so?"

Shen Zhuyin asked, didn't seem to care about the answer, and said with a slight surprise: "It would be nice to see him......"

"You think too much, people are big stars, isn't it everyone who wants to see them?"

"That's not good," Shen Zhuyin retorted, "Didn't you say that he would go to Monroe's grave every Wednesday to lay flowers, maybe you could meet him." ”

"The young lady is right," interjected Haim, "if you go to America, you will have a real chance to meet him, as I did, in fact. ”

"Really?" Shen Zhuyin's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Provided you have the opportunity to go to the United States. Li Yuan splashed cold water, saw Shen Zhuyin glaring at him, turned his face sideways and ignored her, and said to Haim: "Do you know physiognomy?"

"Physiognomy? what is that?" asked Heim, puzzled.

"Physiognomy, you can understand it as Chinese prophecy, well, we speculate on a person's good fortune through people's posture, facial features, etc. ”

Li Yuan didn't know how to say physiognomy in English, so he explained it in a way that was easy for Heim to understand, and continued: "I saw a recent photo of Mr. DiMaggio on the Internet last year, and unfortunately, I had a premonition that the flame of his life was about to be extinguished. ”

After Li Yuan finished speaking, he found that the three of them were looking at him with strange eyes.

"Uh, I'm sorry......" Heim said embarrassedly, "you mean witchcraft?"

"It's physiognomy. Li Yuan ignored Feng Wan's kicking under the table and continued: "I know it's hard for a Yankee fan to accept, but I'm sure Mr. Di Maggio will leave ......us in early March."

The atmosphere was even more awkward.

"Uh, sorry, I'm going to the bathroom. ”

Haim awkwardly stood up and made his way to the bathroom.

After Heim left, Feng Wan couldn't wait to say (in Chinese): "You are crazy, what are you talking about?"

Shen Zhuyin also looked at Li Yuan with eyes like an idiot: "I never knew that you actually believe in superstition!"

Li Yuan defended: "Hey, physiognomy is also a science!"

Feng Wan sarcastically said: "Your science has scared our foreign friends away!"

She lowered her voice and said with some regret: "It's a pity, do you know what he does?"

"Goldman Sachs' investment advisor, I'm not blind. ”

"Now that you know, you're still talking nonsense!" Feng Wan hated iron and steel, and said: "I deliberately helped you raise your value, do you know what a good opportunity this is, if you make friends with Goldman Sachs, you have to fight for half a century......"

"Okay, I understand what you said. Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "The question is, not to mention whether he can represent Goldman Sachs, even if he can, what can we do to impress each other? Are you a fool to be an investor?"

"Even if you don't need it now, it's better to have multiple connections......

Feng Wan rolled her eyes, not knowing what to say.

Shen Zhuyin couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the two, and asked hesitantly, "Shouldn't I have talked nonsense just now?"

"It's none of your business. Feng Wan said angrily: "It's this kid who is talking nonsense!"

……

"Oh God!"

Just when the two women were criticizing Li Yuan, an exclamation suddenly came from the corner leading to the bathroom, and then, I saw Haim holding his mobile phone and walking over with a shocked face.

Heim sat sideways and stared intently at Li Yuan, as if Columbus had discovered a new world.

Haim's eyes made Li Yuan furious, he glanced at Haim's mobile phone on the table, and asked, "What is the news that surprised Mr. Heim so much?"

"Ahh......h

Heim awkwardly withdrew his gaze and said to the two women who were also looking at him suspiciously, "I just called a friend and he told me, uh, Mr. DiMaggio came home yesterday, um, well, I know that sentence is a bit confusing......"

Heim reorganized his language and said, "A friend of mine works in Hollywood, and he and Mr. DiMaggio are neighbors, and they share a private doctor, and the private doctor told him that Mr. DiMaggio had lung cancer surgery at Hollywood Memorial Hospital some time ago, and the results of the surgery were ...... It didn't go well, and the doctor said he had two months left at most......"

"Oh my God!"

The two women all covered their mouths and exclaimed, although it was Haim who was talking to them, but they were looking at Li Yuan.

Haim also looked at Li Yuan, "I'm sorry, I didn't question what you meant, just out of concern for the idol, no, it's not important, what matters, how did you do it?"

"I said, physiognomy. Li Yuan looked inscrutable, pointed to his face, and said: "There is a technique of 'hope' in traditional Chinese medicine, which has a similar meaning, and it is all about judging a person's health by his complexion. ”

"That's not right!" Feng Wan questioned, "Have you seen the news?"

"No way. Without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, Heim shook his head and retorted: "Mr. Dimacho's condition is strictly confidential, and it has not yet been disclosed to the media, and my friend also learned about it from a private doctor just now. ”

"That ......"

Feng Wan's gaze turned back to Li Yuan and asked, "How did you do it?"

Li Yuan stretched out his hands and shrugged: "I said it." ”

"Witchcraft, this is witchcraft, right!" Haim said excitedly, "It's like kung fu, it's incredible, the Chinese are really incredible!"

He paused for a moment and said to Li Yuan sincerely: "I sincerely extend an invitation to you, I hope you have the opportunity to come to the United States as a guest, and I can't wait to introduce you to my friends now......"

"If I have the chance, I'll go. Li Yuan smiled politely and said, "If Mr. Heim comes to China again, he is also welcome to be a guest with me, although my hometown is a little backward, but I will definitely treat you well." ”

Heim nodded again and again, and said with a little regret: "It's a pity that I am in a hurry to rush back to the United States to deal with some things, otherwise I would really want to go to Shanghai with you." By the way, this is my personal business card, and I hope to ask you for advice when you have time......"

Heim said, took out a business card from his briefcase, and handed it to Li Yuan seriously.

This can also be done?

Feng Wan was dumbfounded, she had been deliberately guiding the topic, just hoping to make Li Yuan and Haim friends, she thought there was no chance, but she didn't expect Li Yuan's words of pretending to be a ghost actually made the relationship between the two jump directly from acquaintance to close friends.

Yes, before that, Li Yuan and Haim could not even be called friends.

Feng Wan is not as stupid as she appears, in fact she is very knowledgeable about American culture, and she knows very well that Americans, especially Jews, although they seem to be warm to everyone, are just social etiquette, they are very careful when it comes to making friends, and personal contact information, usually referring to home phone numbers, is never easily revealed.

……

The relationship between Li Yuan and Heim quickly became closer, and the topic gradually diverged.

"The first time I came to China was 20 years ago, with my uncle, and we went to the Great Wall and to the Forbidden City. At that time, China, like the Forbidden City, was full of bans, and we even had soldiers with us when we traveled...... Then it was different, because of my work, I have been coming to China often in recent years, and every time I come there is a new discovery, take the airport as an example, the T2 terminal, which was only built two years ago, is now almost completed, and the construction speed is simply terrifying......"

The faster Haim spoke, Li Yuan gradually couldn't keep up with his speed of speech, and had to interrupt him: "I'm curious, what impressed you the most about China?"

Heim thought for a moment and replied, "Cat blanket." ”

"Blanket?" Shen Zhuyin asked curiously, "What blanket?"

"Blanket," Haim said, gesturing at the glass on the table, "a wine." ”

"You're talking about Moutai, right?" asked Li Yuan tentatively.

"Yes, cat-tai. ”

Heim struggled to straighten his tongue, but his pronunciation was still amusing.

Of course, no one laughed at him.

"Moutai is very good. Heim said intoxicated: "When I first returned to the United States from China, the crew gave my uncle a bottle, and I secretly tasted it later, and it tasted really good......

Sending Moutai by plane? Li Yuan, a Chinese, does not know about this kind of thing.

"It used to be like this. Feng Wan said, "In the past, passengers who took international flights of China Airlines could receive a bottle of Moutai, but it was canceled at the end of the 80s. ”

Heim complained, "Good practice, why cancel?"

"There is no way, the production of Moutai is too low, and its price is too expensive. ”

Li Yuan gave Feng Wan a look as he explained.

Feng Wan nodded, said a faux pas, got up to leave, and after a while, came back with two bottles of Moutai.

"Is this for me?" Heim asked, surprised.

"Yes," Li Yuan smiled, "I hope this will make your journey more enjoyable." ”
