The phone quickly hung up, Julia is a resolute character, every conversation is to the point, Lu Li has long been used to it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the newly completed villa in front of me, and the timber stacked next to it, the foundation of the second villa will start to be laid in a few days. As Lu Huaijin said, everything is now on track at Yunding Ranch, and his dream of being a journalist is also on the right track, and in just a few months, his life has changed dramatically, and everything is getting better and better.

A ray of sunlight shines through the layers of clouds, and the golden light is dazzling in the clouds, and you can clearly see that the fog is churning and dissipating, and the vastness and recklessness of the entire pasture appear in front of you little by little, as if the whole heart is open.

"Congratulations!" A congratulatory voice came from his ears, Lu Li turned his head, and then saw Alice walking out, she showed an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I overheard your phone conversation just now." Lu Li smiled and waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to care, Alice continued to walk out, and her footsteps stopped beside Lu Li, "Congratulations, now you are an official columnist! I'm afraid, our students, you are one of the first students to be employed." ”

"Thank you. This time, Lu Li was not modest and accepted the congratulations calmly.

Perhaps for other American students, or for students in Europe, getting a job in the news media is not an achievement. But for Asian students, it was definitely a huge success, and it was also a successful job in the local media in New York. You know, at a time when the economy is in dire straits, unemployment is so high that it is not easy for even Americans to find a job in the news media in New York.

Alice looked at the bright smile on Lu Li's face, the corners of her mouth also outlined a similar arc, and she chuckled, she was really happy for Lu Li. But then, she thought of her condition, and soon continued to walk, and walked to the front of the porch, and stretched a big slump, "I can't wait a little too much." ”

A thoughtless sigh, but Lu Li heard the clues.

Sure enough, the smile on Alice's face bloomed brightly, "Maybe I'm too greedy, or maybe I'm too confident." It's all about experience for journalists, isn't it? So, starting a career with the New York Post is the same as starting at any other newspaper. It's like you said, as long as it's a diamond, it can't hide the light anywhere, right?"

There is certainly a difference, and there is a world of difference between starting a career as a journalist with the New York Times and starting a career as a journalist with an obscure local origin. But as Alice said, the journalist industry is a field with no threshold, as long as you have the ability and are willing to endure hardships, gold will still shine after all.

The smile on the corner of Lu Li's mouth fell on the bottom of his eyes, and a tide surged, "I agree!"

If the night before yesterday, Alice told Lu Li that she decided to have a showdown with the editor of the "New York Post", deep down, she was actually a little hesitant, then today, Alice has completely made up her mind, and she finally understands that if she just stays in place, then she will never see what the future will look like, and she can only feel sorry for herself in the same place, and finally fall into the quagmire of remorse.

"Fourteen, thank you. Alice said aloud.

First Fred, then Vivien, now Alice, and, of course, himself who must not be forgotten.

They are a group of college students standing at the door of graduation at a loss, behind them is the campus ivory tower that will say goodbye forever, in front of them is the social melting pot of the vast sea of people, they are eager for success but afraid of failure, they are eager for breakthroughs but afraid of change, they have dreams but encounter reality. They are still children, but they are adults, and after being separated from the wings of the family, they have finally become part of the real world.

The hesitation and confusion in their hearts made them rush left and right like headless flies, but they still couldn't find an exit after their heads broke and the blood flowed. Now, they've finally figured out what they've thought, they've chosen their direction, and they're moving forward.

This does not mean that life is flat, on the contrary, the future is still unknown, and they must rely on their own feet to explore slowly, but this unknown may be the most wonderful part of life. When life loses all suspense, life is only a pool of stagnant water, like the walking dead, alive but no longer alive, only by bravely embracing the unknown, life will burst out with more dazzling brilliance.

Whether it's Fred, Vivien, Alice, or Lu Li. They have all chosen a journey and embarked on the road of life, and the future is long, no matter what awaits them in front of them, it will be a magnificent wave.

"I think I can open a psychological clinic in the future, or I can turn the ranch into a mental health home. Lu Li joked with a smile, Alice showed a puzzled expression, Lu Li explained, "After Fred came here, he finally determined the direction of future development. ”

Alice reacted at this time, and couldn't help but chuckle, and then restrained her smile, deliberately putting on a serious and rigid face, "I think it's a good idea." You can go and take a professional license, and I don't think the exam here in Texas should be very difficult. ”

Quietly, Alice teased Texas again - in the United States, the law examination in each state is independent, and the Texas lawyer's license may not be used in New York, and the same is true for the psychiatrist's license. Alice was joking that Texas had a lower level of education than in New York, so the test was simpler.

Lu Li blinked and said solemnly, "I've already signed up." ”

Poof, Alice laughed directly, and then Lu Li also laughed, the bright and crisp laughter echoed in the air, the fog in front of him rolled out like a tide, the golden sunlight sprinkled the earth unscrupulously, the whole picture of the ranch spread out magnificently and quietly in the sight, the green that seemed to have been soaked in water was fresh and delicate, bursting out with a hazy halo, and the entire ranch was covered with a layer of golden tulle, which was beautiful.

The voice disappeared like this, and the two of them stood quietly in place, breathing in the fresh air, letting their thoughts soar in this unfettered blue sky.

It's another good day.

As expected, the second day of the Rodeo was even more lively, not only with more intense competition, but also with a daytime display. Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi joined Alice and the others in the team, continuing the language exchange that did not end yesterday, while Lu Li, accompanied by Cole and Brandon, seriously visited the exhibition, enjoyed the carnival, and also devoted himself to the work inspection.

The same is true on the third day.

The Rodeo ended in a tumultuous end, with the final day of the event deciding the winners! In the bareback bullfight, the saddled James Rick won the final title, while the crowd favorite Frank Reeves was only third.

As for the speed competition, Chloe won the final championship with a perfect performance, and won the first place for three consecutive days, impressing every audience. After she won the title, the cowboy hat was thrown down to almost cover the venue – partly because the event was over and everyone was celebrating.

Lu Li made his first bet and successfully won the final jackpot. Since he placed his bet before the start of the first day, the odds were very high, and although he only bet twenty dollars, he still received two hundred dollars in the end, which is really ten times more.

After exchanging the betting ticket for the bonus, everyone coaxed, "Welcome!" Randy seemed to dislike the coaxing not loud enough, and nodded while clapping calmly and vigorously, circling in front of everyone, encouraging everyone to follow the same example, and the uniform applause and shouts made the other crowd around them cast their eyes.

"Treat, treat, treat!"

As the center of the whirlpool, Lu Li also laughed dumbly. However, Lu Li did not destroy the atmosphere of the scene, but applauded and shouted with everyone, as if the object of the coaxing was someone else, cooperated with the performance, and waited for the atmosphere of the audience to reach the boiling point, and then he raised two thin green bills in his hand and waved them boldly, "Let's go, Sunset Bar, I will pay for all the first round!" as if he was holding a check for two million.

Such a hearty answer succeeded in gaining the support of the crowd, "Yay!" Everyone cheered collectively, and Randy and Tony even waved to the stranger they didn't know next to them, "Come! Come! Cloudtop Ranch has a treat at the Sunset Bar! Come, come together!"

At this time, all the spectators were rushing to cash in on their bets, and many people gathered in a bustling manner, and when they heard that someone had won a big victory and was about to open their wallets for a treat, everyone immediately became excited—the carnival atmosphere had not yet completely dissipated, and it was almost a little ignited, and the scene exploded like a powder keg.

When Chloe and Justin, who had just finished their work, walked over, they saw this scene, the two of them looked at each other, pulled Brandon who was standing next to him with a helpless expression, and asked, "What?

The smile in the corner of Brandon's eyes softened the stiff lines of his facial features a lot, and he shook his head, "Two Benjamin Franklins only." ”

Chloe and Justin turned their heads to look at Lu Li, who was clapping and cheering in the crowd, and finally understood what was going on with Brandon's expression, and both of them laughed.

The third day of the Rodeo ended with Lu Li leading more than 60 people to the Sunset Bar, where he happily bought three rounds of beer for everyone, and everyone partyed all night without getting drunk, pushing this three-day feast to a real high/climax.
