Chapter 98 (Overhauled, please collect it first, and read it later)
Americans' self-amusement is coming to an end, and now they have entered the stage of 'having fun with friends.'
As an internationalist fighter, Lin Yi was enthusiastic about supporting the construction of the United States, so he was invited to attend a government party. The guests at the party were all friends from all over the world in the United States.
Of course, in order to receive an invitation, you must reach a certain status. It seems that both individuals and countries have the habit of 'watching people put on the plate'.
Fortunately, in the past few months, Paradise Games has developed rapidly! Lin Yi has rapidly evolved to the stage of small fish, and is no longer just a small shrimp, or even plankton.
With the exception of slumber parties and barbecue parties, most American parties inevitably come with a dance party. Needless to say, Lin Yi's female companion, of course, it must be Sunflower!
But the girl was not happy, and all kinds of preparations annoyed her: "It's really annoying to have to wear heavy makeup again! And this evening dress, the back is too exposed!"
But there is no way, long dresses, heavy makeup, jewelry--to a formal party, it must be so grand.
Fortunately, before the National Day holiday, Paradise Games Company had already held an internal party. Lin Yi and Sunflower have more or less experience.
However, the girl's makeup skills are really miserable. As long as Lin Yi thought about it, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Thanks to Lin Zhilan's help, at the company party a few days ago, Sunflower did not make a fool of herself.
Bishoujo is a makeup expert. It is said that it is because of this that at the dance party of the Overseas Chinese School, he was rated as the school flower by his classmates, and then he fascinated Zhen Yingjun so much that he couldn't find the north!
However, after Lin Yi finished reading the makeup this time, he always felt that something was wrong. The natural beauty of the girl seems to be obscured.
Lin Zhilan pushed Lin Yi away, continued to give the sunflower a head, and at the same time taught a lesson: "What do you know! I have read a lot of those American fashion magazines these days!"
"The aesthetics of Westerners are very different from those of us Chinese. We believe in soft lines, but they advocate a well-defined and well-defined face to make an impression. ”
These words were indeed very reasonable, and Lin Yi had to nod in agreement. Whether Chinese look at Westerners or Westerners look at Chinese, they also have 'face blindness'.
At this time, Lin Yi remembered that in his previous college days, he once asked a foreign teacher: Which Chinese female star do you like the most?
The other party's answer was: Karen Mok!
Although this star, the talent is undoubted. But as long as he thinks of those classic shapes - 'Sister Violent Teeth' and 'Disfigured Girl', Lin Yi really can't love it!
It seems that if the characteristics are not obvious, then you really will forget after seeing them! It is estimated that this is an important reason why those Japanese and Korean stars who went to the United States to open up the market have been defeated again and again.
After two hours, the makeup, hair shape, and dress were finally all taken care of.
Finally, there is one more step, hairpins, earrings, necklaces, brooches, bracelets, all embellished, it is really jewelry!
Gently pulling Sunflower's earrings, Lin Zhilan asked, "Why don't you pierce your ears, don't clip-on earrings hurt when you wear them?"
The girl replied with a lovely white eye: "Wouldn't it hurt more to prick your ear?"
The jewels on the jewelry are all genuine, and of course they are worth a lot of money! Unfortunately, they are rented. Lin Yi wanted to send it, but unfortunately Sunflower insisted on not accepting it.
It seems that the relationship between the two must break through to the next stage and give some expensive gifts before the girl can accept it.
But the boy insisted, and the girl finally wore a diamond ring on the middle finger of her left hand! According to American habits, this position represents passionate love, or engagement.
"By wearing this ring, you can prevent harassment!"
Under Lin Yi's persuasion, as well as the purging of her best friend, Xiang Yanghua hesitated for a moment and finally put it on.
Seeing that Lin Zhilan was about to laugh, Lin Yi hurriedly glared at her!
Under the eyes of Lin Zhilan, Lin Yi and Xiang Yanghua, when they sat on the company's order meeting, the long-rented Mercedes-Benz drove to the party location.
Without a second party invitation, Lin Zhilan had better not go. Lin Yi is now a Hong Kong citizen, and if a man drags two women, it is easy to be mistaken for two wives.
Polygamy has been abolished in Hong Kong for only a few years! Family banquets there often have several hostesses dressed up at the same time.
The car arrives at San Francisco Bay. After checking the invitation, with Lin Yi's support, Xiang Yanghua stepped on high heels, trembled and climbed the gangway, and climbed onto a big boat.
This ship is not a luxury cruise ship, but a sailing ship from the Age of Discovery. Its style may be a replica of the 'Mayflower'.
After boarding the galleon, the greeter introduced, "Ms. Sunflower, Mr. Lynn, welcome to this banquet." ”
The name of the sunflower is not pronounced correctly by the Americans. Therefore, when introducing, use sunflower, that is, sunflower.
This name is quite fond of Sunflower, so when introducing herself, she often uses it.
And Lin Yi's surname corresponds to Lyn in English, which is 'Lynn'. Of course, Lyn can also be translated as Lynn because it's a unisex name!
The welcome pointed not far away: "From that hatch, you can enter the lower deck of the sailboat." The dining room, lounge, and washroom are all available underneath, and there are signs posted at the entrance. ”
"In about an hour, the ball will be on deck. I hope this party will leave you with a wonderful time!" After saying that, he turned to entertain the other guests.
What a sailing party! These Yankees, sure enough, the city can play. It's a great place to go anywhere!
Lin Yi shook his body, feeling that this deck was very stable. Today is not calm, it should be fixed at the bottom of the boat.
I heard that in the ports of New York and Philadelphia, in addition to the warships participating in the parade, various countries also sent galleons to participate in the 200th anniversary celebration of the United States, such as the Italian Vespucci.
If it was on the East Coast, the two might even be invited to board a foreign sailing ship.
After Lin Yi thought about it, he shook his head again, feeling a little unrealistic! With his current status as a 'little fish', I'm afraid he doesn't have that qualification yet.
On such a formal occasion, eating, dancing, or even celebrating is not the point. In addition to giving face to the organizers, the main activities of the guests are placed on the social aspect.
This is worthy of San Francisco, and among the people who exchange business cards with Lin Yi, there are really a lot of Chinese Americans!
It is said that as big a person's social circle is, how big the things he can do! Therefore, no matter who comes to talk, Lin Yi will not refuse to come.
In his previous life, Lin Yi was more introverted. In this life, although he has turned a little corner, the social activities are too intensive, and he will still feel tired.
Walking to the side of the boat, watching and listening to the waves, Lin Yi's nerves were well relaxed.
At this time, a foreigner walked by and muttered a French phrase: "Vulgaire!"
When he happened to be in Hong Kong, Fisher, who knew French, told Lin Yi French jokes. So he knew that Vulgaire meant vulgar!
Lin Yi was a little angry - I didn't recruit you and didn't provoke you, why did you scold me?
He turned around, only to find the Frenchman's gaze rushing to another corner. There was a prom band, and a fat man with a cigar and a loud laugh.
Like Fisher's French jokes, it seems that the French really look down on Americans when it comes to social etiquette!
Fortunately, there was no impulse, and Lin Yi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although he is busy with socializing, he will always divide a part of his gaze and leave it on Sunflower.
In fact, on such a formal occasion, the possibility of an accident is too small. Lin Yi's various worries are somewhat unfounded!
It's a pity that after Lin Zhilan's special training, the girl who wears high heels can barely walk, but she can't dance with Lin Yi. Even with slow dance music, it is still very difficult to turn around.
After standing for about a quarter of an hour, the girl had to go down to the barn and rest her little feet!
