Su Zhuorui looked back at Zhang Chen, who was snorting in the back seat of the car, and hehe Zhile: "Are you stupid, you didn't even bring a long-sleeved shirt." “

"Thank you. Zhang Chen took the tissue handed over by Su Zhuorui and blew his nose. "Isn't California a sunny state, it is said that the four seasons are like spring, and now it is summer, how can it be so cold. “

Su Zhuo's flowers and branches trembled, this little brother is too interesting, "Haven't you heard the saying 'The coldest winter I've ever experienced is the summer in San Francisco'? Although San Francisco and LA are both on the West Coast, you can feel the temperature of the four seasons every day in San Francisco. It was cold in the morning, hot to death at noon and afternoon, and the temperature dropped again in the evening. And it's very windy here, so we always bring a long-sleeved shirt, a hoodie, or something like that. Su Zhuorui pointed to the hoodie hanging on the back of the chair and said.

Full of dry food and tropical clothes, my mother will not deceive me, Zhang Chen said silently in his heart.

Su Zhuorui is the ground contact that Tang Miaomiao helped Zhang Chen contact, is Tang Miaomiao's high school classmate, and Zhang Chen is also a fellow countryman.

After graduating from high school, Su Zhuoyuan directly applied for an offer from the University of San Francisco to study international relations. He was one of the few international students who received undergraduate education in the United States in the 90s. Sue graduated from the University of San Francisco last year and applied for a PhD at Berkeley.

Last month, Tang Miaomiao suddenly called Su Zhuorui, saying that she had a student who was going to the United States in the summer, and could she ask Su Zhuorui to help find a host family, as for the boarding fee, she could pay at $80 per day.

Tang Miaomiao and Su Zhuorui were best friends in high school, Su Zhuorui heard it, calculated the account, and immediately said, what kind of host family are you looking for, just come to live with me directly, just to subsidize the rent for the old lady.

Su Zhuorui is really not joking, she is not like Tang Miaomiao, she is from a wealthy family. Although her parents are both university teachers, and she is a full award, the study abroad expenses that can be given to her are only enough for basic living.

Prices in California are high, and she lives in San Francisco, where the rent is the most expensive, and the rent alone costs $700 per month.

The current house is still 3 months away, so it's a good time to share the rent with yourself.

Tang Miaomiao listened to it and smiled bitterly. My best friend, who was so reserved when she was in school, is now forced to be like this by evil capitalism.

Tang Miaomiao suddenly remembered something and asked Su Zhuorui, how many bedrooms are there in the house you rented? Su Zhuorui said calmly: "One." “

Tang Miaomiao hurriedly said: "Then forget it, this is a boy, it's inconvenient to go to you." “

Su Zhuorui laughed, "How old is your student's talent, and you're still afraid that I will eat him?"

Tang Miaomiao said hesitantly: "Forget it, you can help me find another home." ”

Su Zhuorui still knows this best friend, Tang Miaomiao used to be a heartless person, and she used to joke more than herself. This time, it feels a little wrong to be so concerned about a student's affairs.

"Okay, okay, I have a sofa in my living room, I'll let him sleep on the sand, right?" Su Zhuorui said disdainfully.

Tang Miaomiao was afraid that if she insisted on it again, Su Zhuorui would suspect something, so she had no choice but to agree.

Su Zhuohui drove her second-hand Chevrolet all the way from San Francisco Airport to the city along the Beshore Free Highway. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the downstairs of Su Zhuoyuan's rented apartment

Su Zhuorui parked the car, opened the trunk, and Zhang Chen took the luggage out of the trunk. "Let's go, go upstairs and put your luggage away, and my sister will drive you around San Francisco. ”

Although Su Zhuoyuan's apartment is only a one-bedroom, it still has a living room, with an area of about 50 square meters and a 9th floor. From the large floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge.

"How's it going? Not bad, but I made a lot of determination to rent this apartment, and the rent is $700 a month, and I feel so distressed. ”

"Well, that's good. Zhang Chen praised from the bottom of his heart.

Su Zhuorui pointed to the sofa in the living room, "I said in advance, it's 80 US dollars a day, you sleep in the living room, and I sleep in the bedroom." If you don't bring towels and toiletries, let's go to the supermarket and buy them later. ”

Zhang Chen nodded and took out his wallet from his pocket, "Okay, no problem, Sister Su, this is $2,400 for the first month, you order." ”

Seeing the thick wad of dollars in Zhang Chen's wallet, Su Zhuorui was surprised: "Why did you bring so much cash?"

Zhang Chen had an idea, and said seriously: "Actually, only 6,000 here is mine, which is the living expenses in the United States for these two months." The remaining 4,000 is a friend of mine who asked me to buy lottery tickets in the United States. “

"Lottery?" Su Zhuorui was a little confused.

Zhang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I now work for him on my days off to earn some pocket money, so I can be regarded as my boss." He's a veteran NBA fan who predicted a draft pick for this year. He knew that I was coming to the United States for the summer vacation, and he heard that the gambling industry here is developed, and even the draft pick is a bookmaker's project, so he changed some dollars and asked me to help him buy a few bets here. “

Su Zhuorui shook his head and said: "Your friend doesn't seem to know the United States, if you want to buy lottery tickets or gamble in the United States, you must be at least 21 years old, and if you are not a native, you have to pay high taxes." You're too old to buy it. “

Zhang Chen looked surprised and frustrated, "Ah? What should I do then? I promised him." “

Su Zhuorui smiled: "The black area next to Berkeley is more chaotic, and there are people who buy lottery tickets for others, but if you win, do you think he can still give you the prize if he receives it?"

Zhang Chen said in frustration: "Then how can I explain to him." As he spoke, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Su Zhuorui expectantly, "Sister Su, why don't you help me buy it for me?" If you win, I will tell him at that time, at least 20% of you will be shared." “

Su Zhuorui hesitated, "No, no, it's a crime." And I don't remember a similar lottery in San Francisco, and if I wanted to buy it, I might have to go to Las Vegas. “

Zhang Chen smiled: "If you don't say it, who can know? So, let's go out and have a look, if the San Francisco gaming center has a similar lottery, let's buy it, and I'll give you $500 for him." If not, let's go to Las Vegas, and he will bear all the costs of the round trip, and I will cushion it for him first. You will also be paid an additional $500. If you win the lottery, you will get 20% of your winnings, what do you think?"

Su Zhuorui bit her lip, Zhang Chen thought that she would not agree, and was thinking about any other way to persuade her, Su Zhuorui suddenly arrived: "Las Vegas must live in Caesars Palace." “

Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "No problem." “

Su Zhuorui cheered, "Oh yes, that's great." So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and pack your things, let's go now!"

Zhang Chen was dumbfounded: "Su, Sister Su, there's no need to be so excited, right?"
