It was almost noon, and Chen Tianliao drove to Lisa's villa.

Lisa's full name is Lisa O'Brien. Her Irish ancestry is evident from the o' prefix in her last name. Her father, O'Brien Sr., was a U.S. senator. Senators are a special group in the United States, and the federal senators have only two seats per state and serve a six-year term, so they are very influential. Of course, this influence is also related to the seniority of the senators, and the influence of senior senators is even the president afraid of three points. Those who can become senators are all groups with greater social energy.

O'Brien's home is in Los Angeles, but there is also a villa on the outskirts of Oakland, just south of Berkeley, just over a thirty-minute drive from the University of California, Berkeley. Lisa lives in this villa. And this is where today's dinner is held.

Chen Tianliao parked the car under the guidance of the servant, and when he came out of the car with a lunch box, he saw a shadow walking out of the house. This is a tall young girl, with Irish signature red hair, a slightly longer face, and beautiful facial features that appear soft and beautiful. She is today's host, Lisa O'Brien.

"Hello, Chen, welcome. We're all waiting for you to arrive!" Lisa said enthusiastically as she greeted her with open arms. Chen Tianliao smiled and handed the food take-out box to the servant next to him, and hugged her gently.

Entering the living room, there were already five people sitting inside. That's all for today's dinner. In it, Chen Tianliao knew two people: Ai Maeda, a Japanese girl in the same grade as him, and Javier Mucho, who is of Mexican descent.

"Hey Chen, come on, I'll introduce you to these friends. Lisa happily led Chen Tianliao to the three people he didn't know, "This is Johnny Ross of Stanford University, who is a computer applications student like us. Rose, this is my classmate, Chen Tianliao. ”

"Hello, nice to meet you!" Chen Tianliao stepped forward and stretched out his hand to Rose. Stanford's computer science major is no weaker than Berkeley's, and Stanford is stronger in another time and space. The famous Silicon Valley of the United States, located in Palo Alto City, Santa Clara County, where Stanford University is located, is developed with the Hewlett-Packard company founded by William Hewlettt and David Packard, two doctoral students at Stanford University. Berkeley's computer-related majors are developing so well, and it is not unrelated to the neighboring Silicon Valley.

Rose also smiled and held Chen Tianliao's hand, shook it vigorously, and said, "Hello, I'm also very happy to meet you." I know you and your game company are doing a great job. It's a pity you didn't come to our school. ”

Lisa said, "Rose, what do you mean by that? Our school is no worse than yours!"

Rose smiled, made an apologetic face, and didn't speak. But Chen Tianliao saw his disapproval in the eyes hidden behind his glasses.

Lisa ignored the weak scholar and introduced the other two to Chen Tianliao: "This is my friend and our outstanding fourth-grade student Julian Durant, and this is his sister Chloé Durant. They are from Quebec. ”

Quebec is a French-speaking province of Canada, and these two are also supposed to be descendants of French immigrants. Although the people of Lyon are tall and burly, they are quite shy and do not have the flamboyant personality of the French-speaking people. He smiled at Chen Tianliao, stretched out his hand and shook Chen Tianliao lightly before taking it back.

Chloe's personality is the complete opposite of her brother's. She enthusiastically stretched out her right hand to shake Chen Tianliao and said, "Chen, I've heard of you. I just heard Maeda-samae hum your work, and it's outstanding. Why would you want to go to the University of California and not come to Berklee College of Music, which is the best modern music school in the world!"

Chen Tianliao's eyes widened. He didn't expect anyone from Berklee College of Music to be here. Although the Chinese translation of this conservatory is also called "Berkeley", its English name is different from the name of the city of Berkeley, and the location is far from the same. The city of Berklee is located in California in the southwestern United States, while Berklee College of Music is located in Boston, in the northeastern part of the United States. Founded in 1945, this conservatory began as a student of jazz and has been one of the best schools for the study of modern music. On a different plane, it merged with the Boston Conservatory of Music in 2016. Its alumni include many big names in the music industry, and Wang Leehom, who later became known to mainland audiences, was a student of this conservatory. Its outstanding Chinese students also include Gu Jiahui (composer of songs such as "SH Beach" and "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains", etc.), Weng Qingxi (composer of songs such as "The Moon Represents My Heart" and "Story of a Small Town"). It's just that Chen Tianliao couldn't figure out how this beauty could come here across the entire United States.

"I came to California with the school's band. Chloe looked at Chen Tianliao's expression, guessed the reason, and explained, "It just so happened that my brother said that there was this party, and you would come, so I came." ”

"Have you heard of me?" Chen Tianliao raised his eyebrows.

"Of course. Anyone who is interested in Japanese music should know you, right? Prodigy, a prolific composer, from time to time there are surprising compositions, that's so cool!" Chloe said in a loud voice, "Even though I don't know Japanese language, I can hum a few songs." Thankfully, the Romaji pronunciation in Wa is so similar to Italian that I can watch it come out. Miss Xiao Ai said you will sing in a while?"

"Yes. Chen Tianliao nodded.

"Great!" Chloe applauded, "I've wanted to hear you sing those songs yourself." Your English is so good, can you write an English song?"

Giusebei smiled: "No problem in English, et moi, je peux chanter en francais aussi (I can also sing in French). ”

"Vraiment (really)?" Chloe's eyes widened, "Vous pouvez parler français!" Super!(You can speak French!!)"

"Chen, you're amazing!" said Lisa, "I was already surprised when Xiao Ai said that you are a famous musician, but I didn't expect you to be a language genius, and you can speak Japanese and English and French so well. And it's unbelievable that you're running such a big company! You're more like an American than we are!"

Chen Tianliao smiled politely: "Thank you for the compliment, in fact, there are many people like me in Huaguo." ”

Lisa raised her voice exaggeratedly: "Really? Then you Chinese are amazing!"

"The Americans are also amazing. Chen Tianliao smiled, "So I came to the United States to study and realize my dream." ”

"Haha, that's a good point. Come on, let's start dining. Come with me into the garden, and I'll see what Chinese delicacies you've brought. You Chinese people call yourself the country of food. Lisa laughed.

Chen Tianliao smiled slightly, took the food take-out box from the servant on the side, and said, "I will definitely not let you down." ”

Maeda Ai came to Chen Tianliao's side with a smile, and walked with him half a shoulder behind. Chen Tianliao looked at this little girl helplessly. I can't help but say that this little girl is really beautiful, with a pair of smart and pure big eyes, small and ruddy lips, although not tall, but with the same well-proportioned figure as Western models, each of which is enough to make a man's heartbeat intensify, and what is even more rare is that all this is combined so naturally, with her quiet and gentle and innocent and lively temperament, it can definitely make men with normal sexual orientation feel close. Although Chen Tianliao couldn't bear her enthusiasm, when he watched her follow him meekly like a little sister at this moment, the soft place in his heart was also touched, and all his dissatisfaction disappeared.

The garden of the villa is large, and a large dining table has been set up on the central lawn with a lot of food on it, and several food boxes are also placed on the table.

Mu Qiao stepped forward first, pressed down his four food boxes, and said loudly, "Let's take a look at the food I brought, tacos y burritos from Mexico!" With that, he opened the lid of the box as if by magic, and it was full of corn sandwiches and burritos and pie fillings.

When it comes to Lao Mo's food, many people's first impression is Mexican chicken wrap, in fact, taco is the soul of Mexican cuisine, it originated in the Arab region, but Mexicans have carried it forward. This kind of food is basically a tortilla with a pile of meat and vegetables on top of it, and then the pie is bent up to hold the food. Mucho brought Tacos de Barbacoa. The so-called barbacoa is the English barbecue, which is BBQ - barbecue. Mucho's barbecue is made by grilling fat and tender lamb wrapped in thick agave and grilled in stones, which is fragrant and brightly colored, and served with fresh lettuce, which is mouth-watering. As for burrito, it is thinner and larger than taco cake, and it must be sealed after wrapping the food, and some rice will be put in it, and cheese, refried beans and other items will be added to the seasoning, and its quality is more determined by the condiment added - chicken roll is a kind of burrito.

Looking at Mu Qiao's tempting and large amount of food, Chen Tianliao gave a thumbs up: "Muy delicioso y mucho, Mucho!" (very delicious, very much, Mucho!)"

Mucho smiled happily. Chen Tianliao made a joke with his name, mucho means "many" in Spanish.

Chloe also opened the food box in front of her. It is full of vegetable and fruit salad, which is full of color and flavor, and it also makes people have an appetite. However, the exotic food that is not as attractive as Mucho, full of naked meat, is impressive.

Next, Xiao Ai glanced at Chen Tianliao as if offering a treasure and uncovered his food box. She also brought three food boxes, but they were not big, a box of sushi and a box of tempura - that is, fried food wrapped in batter, and the tempura that Xiao Ai brought was all fried aquatic products. As for the third box, it's Atlantic salmon sashimi. In addition, there is a plastic bag next to it that contains seasonings such as soy sauce, vinegar, and wasabi, as well as a bottle of sake.

After politely complimenting Xiao Ai's food box, everyone focused their eyes on the bulky Chinese food take-out box that Zhu Saibei was carrying.
