Chapter 328: Oriental Girl
(After work, kick out a chapter, sorry.) The knife will try to ensure that it will be updated every day in the future, and if not, it will not be more than two days, so I hope to support the knife a lot!! ๏ผ
Not long after leaving CAA, Rotai's car drove out and found a place where no one was there and put the car away. Considering my current situation, this car does not have a license plate and I don't have a driver's license, so let's keep a low profile. If he can't stay in the United States, he really doesn't know where to go.
The meal should be eaten in one bite, and the road should be walked step by step. He first went back to his apartment, packed up all his belongings, and then left the place without looking back.
After going out, Luo Tai was a little dazed. Where should he go? This is not Huaxia, and he doesn't have any friends. However, his mood quickly calmed down. No matter how much he has experienced in the film world himself, even if he is not, he has grown up alone, lonely, and has a strong ability to be independent.
Well, Luo Tai thought about it and went to a place with a lot of Chinese first.
Los Angeles Chinatown!
After coming here, Luo Tai felt very cordial, and there was a feeling of a small Huaxia here. After a few turns, it was afternoon, and he felt a little hungry, so he began to look for restaurants.
Chinese cuisine is known all over the world, and the United States is no exception. Moreover, in the United States, high-grade Chinese food is consumed by high-income people, and ordinary people cannot afford to eat it.
There is such a high-end Chinese restaurant on 36th Street in Los Angeles, which mainly focuses on Shanghai cuisine, and the Chinese name is also very domineering, called "Shanghai Cuisine King".
When Luo Tai found this place, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was a good time to open. It is not only Chinese-Chinese people with yellow skin and black eyes who come here to eat, but also many white men and women in suits.
The hotel is located in the middle of the street and is in a very good location. There is also a large parking lot in front of the door, and there is a shopping mall next to the restaurant, which is very lively.
Although dinner has just begun, there are already quite a few people here.
The door of the hotel is a glass revolving door, and on both sides of the door stand two waiters wearing red cheongsams. Looking through the glass Monroe, you can see a screen in the center of the foyer, on which are traditional Chinese-Chinese landscape paintings. This qiฤ arrangement made Luo Tai feel like he was back in China.
He walked into the revolving door without hesitation.
"Welcome, sir." The waiter bowed politely to Rotai. And speak the welcome speech in fluent English.
Luo Tai smiled, and then said: "Speak Chinese, I understand." โ
"Are you here for a tour?" One of the big-eyed girls said. Frankly, she speaks Chinese badly, and maybe she doesn't think so.
"Nope. I am a newcomer. Rotai said.
"Wow, welcome." The girl smiled. Her smile was sweet. Then he waved his hand: "Please inside." โ
Rotai nodded, and walked out of the restaurant alone. The first floor is all scattered, and the private room is on the second floor. Luo Tai didn't plan to go to the private room, he just had a simple meal by himself.
He came to the front desk, and the foreman at the front desk was also an oriental beauty, with the same graceful figure. She was wearing a purple cheongsam. It's just that Luo Tai needs to queue up if he wants to talk to her, which shows that the business of this restaurant is very hot.
Rotai doesn't mind standing in line, he has time now. After waiting for about five minutes, it was finally Luo Tai's turn.
"Hello." The foreman laughed.
"Hello." Rotai smiled in return. Let's be honest. Seeing the smiles of his compatriots, Rotai finally swept away the unhappiness of meeting John in the morning.
"Sir, do you have a reservation?" The foreman said.
"Reservations?" Luo Tai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
The foreman shrugged his shoulders with some regret, and then said: "I'm very sorry, there are a lot of guests today, and I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while if you don't make a reservation." โ
"Oh my God." Luo Tai couldn't help but say, "Your business here is too good. โ
"I'm so embarrassed." The foreman said regretfully.
"It doesn't matter." Luo Tai said: "Who told me not to have a reservation? Then I can easily ask, how long do I have to wait? โ
"This" The foreman looked at the slip in his hand, and then said to him, "You need to wait for the first batch of guests to finish eating, look over there," she said, and drew Luo Tai's eyes to a couch not far away, where two families were sitting on the sofa, and there were three solo jumpers, and the two families were talking and laughing, and the single jumpers were flipping through the magazines in their hands.
"You're the twelfth. However, there are two over there, so you just have to wait for the sixth spot. The foreman explained slowly.
Rotai turned to look behind him, and as he spoke, the line behind him was long again.
"Okay, I'll wait." Luo Tai nodded.
"Thank you." The maรฎtre d'รtre said as he gave Rotai a card similar to his hand. Luo Tai took the card and came to the sofa. Instead of sitting between the two families, he walked over to the three solo jumpers.
The three solo jumpers were two women and one man, the man was a black man, wearing black-rimmed glasses, wearing a white suit, and looking very formal. The woman in the middle is a brown woman, in her thirties, in professional attire.
The other one was dressed very avant-garde, wearing a hip-hop outfit and headphones, and was supposed to be listening to music. She was flipping through magazines and chewing gum at the same time, her head was still shaking to the music, she was an Oriental girl!
She can't say how beautiful she looks, but she is a cute little girl like an elf. The eyes are large, the nose is upturned, and the lips are small. When Rotai's figure came, the girl glanced up at him, and then reveled in the music.
This may be a second-generation immigrant, and the family should be in good condition. Luo Tai sat down beside her while thinking, took a magazine from the bookshelf next to him, and looked through it boredly.
There are usually a lot of magazine advertisements here, and Luo Tai looks at them a few times and finds them boring. He looked up at the endless stream of diners, but his mind flew to Huaxia. He thought about the restaurant he opened in Jibei, and thought about the scene of starting a business with Sun Fatzi and Lu Siding.
I don't know what happened to Sun Fatzi? Rotai's brows furrowed. Fatty, fatty, you should be very happy now, but don't be unlucky because of yourself. I hope you and Wenren Muxue can forgive me.
As he thought of this, a trace of pain came from Luo Tai's brain again.
"-!" Rotai involuntarily patted his head. And there was a "snap" sound.
"Are you okay?" The hip-hop girl on the side took off her headphones and looked at Luo Tai and asked.
Luo Tai glanced at the girl, smiled at her, then nodded and said, "It's okay, thank you." โ
Seeing that Luo Tai was wearing a wide black windbreaker, white travel shoes, and a shoulder bag, looking like a dusty man, the girl smiled. Then he said, "First time in the United States? โ
Her fluency in English convinced Rotai that she was a second-generation immigrant.
"Sort of." Rotai said.
"From China?" The girl asked.
Rotai nodded.
"Wow, that's nice, hello, my name is Evelyn." The girl stretched out her hand very generously.
The girl's cheerfulness made Rotai feel very comfortable. He smiled and stretched out his hand, then said, "Well, my name is Luo Tai." โ
"What? Luo: "The girl obviously can't pronounce this Chinese sound.
"Oh." Rotai smiled. "You call me Luo, my name uh was just given, it's Christopher."
He reached out and shook the girl's hand.
"Christopher? And that British director with a name. The girl laughed.
"What British director?" Luo Tai was stunned.
"Christopher. Nolan, the one who filmed "Batman", and "Inception". Evelyn laughed, "It seems that you must not like watching movies." โ
Rotai shrugged. Didn't speak.
Seeing that Luo Tai was not good at talking, the girl put on headphones after saying hello.
After two minutes of silence, Luo Tai suddenly turned his head and asked the girl, "Do you have a Chinese name?" โ
The girl took off her headphones again and said with a smile, "Yes." My dad called me, it's called Uh Tang Jiayi~~"
The girl's pronunciation was very non-standard, and it was very difficult, and it took Luo Tai a lot of effort to understand. He nodded and said, "It's actually a better name than Evelyn. โ
"Really?"
"Of course." Rotai affirmed.
The girl smiled and continued: "Actually, I am very interested in China, I think she is so mysterious, unfortunately I have never been there, I think there will be a chance for me to go back and see." My parents are both Chinese. โ
"Actually, you too." Rotai said.
"No, I'm American." Tang Jiayi said.
Luo Tai smiled, did not argue with her, but pointed to her headphones with his finger, and said with a smile: "Can I listen to it?" โ
Tang Jiayi was stunned for a moment.
"Oh, don't worry, my ears are clean." Rotai said.
"Heh~" Tang Jiayi smiled, she handed the headphones to Luo Tai, and then said: "You have American humor, and your English really makes people can't hear that you just came to the United States." โ
"Really?" Rotai put on the headphones and listened, it was a single by Mike Jackson, it was very exciting, he took off the headphones and said: "To tell you the truth, I learned English through American movies." โ
"Really?" The girl laughed, and she said, "Then you are amazing, I have watched a lot of Chinese movies, but I haven't learned a word." โ
"Really? What Chinese-Chinese movies have you watched? Rotai asked.
The girl suddenly stood up, gestured twice in front of Rotai, and said at the same time, "Jack. Chan (Jackie Chan), well, and Jay. Li (Li-Lian-Jie). What do you think? โ
Looking at the girl's strange posture, Luo Tai smiled, he nodded, then gave a thumbs up, and continued: "Good kung fu! โ
"Haha, do you know kung fu? Chinese people should be able to do kung fu? The girl sat back down.
Luo Tai pursed his lips and said, "A little." โ
"Wow~ Demonstrate it." The girl said.
"Now?" Rotai asked.
The girl looked around and said, "Isn't this place enough?" โ
Luo Tai looked at it, and then pretended to be very serious and said: "No, no, forget it, the real masters are deeply hidden." โ
"Hmph, bragging." The girl laughed.
As soon as she finished speaking, the foreman came over to her and said, "Miss, it's your turn to eat." โ
The girl stood up, had just taken two steps with the foreman, suddenly stopped, and then returned to Luo Tai and said to him, "Are you alone?" โ
"Yes." Rotai said.
"It just so happens that I'm also alone, what? Well, we don't mind if we eat at the same table, so you can eat the food early. โ
Luo Tai thought for a moment, and then said, "Okay, then I thank you." โ
"Nothing." The girl smiled and turned around and walked with Luo Tai to the table (to be continued......)
