The reason why the gala to welcome the mainland delegation was scheduled for two days later was that the opening time of the Olympic Games was just three days later, and after the opening, the mainland delegation would not allow athletes to participate in such activities.

Jester also agreed to Qin Shuyao and went with her to decorate the venue a day in advance.

And he also learned Qin Shuyao's identity from his grandfather, and then Jester was indeed a little surprised, although he had expected it a long time ago, after all, those who can study abroad in this era are powerful people except for scholars.

Although he didn't feel the slightest arrogance of the continent's magnates from Qin Shuyao's body.

However, it is only a second thought, Jester also understands a little, now is not 30 years later, the mainland can be called the G2 era with the United States, the current mainland is still a new reform, has not shared the industrial construction dividends of the era, in order to introduce foreign capital, the commander did not hesitate to personally visit Matsushita Konosuke in Japan, to the Japanese god of management to ask the development of enterprises.

You must know that the Grand Commander is a dignified leader of a great country, a generation of heroes who abolished the prince and stood on his own, and Konosuke Matsushita, no matter how high his achievements are, is just an entrepreneur.

When they came to the United States, what they saw was the prosperity and progress of the United States, and the contrast between the backwardness and poverty of the mainland was that they could not have any pride in their hearts.

Jester now remembers a photograph he saw before he was reborn.

In that photo, a certain admiral came to the United States to visit Wèn in the early 80s, on the deck of an aircraft carrier, looking at the US military helicopter with his feet crossed, and the rest of his eyes was longing. This admiral was later called the father of China's aircraft carrier by many netizens, after the mainland had its own aircraft carrier, the Military Commission set its board number as No. 016, and I don't know whether the Military Commission was intentional or unintentional, the admiral who is known as the father of China's aircraft carrier was born in 1916.

In addition, Qin Shuyao herself is not the kind of eldest lady's character, and Jester hasn't been with her for a long time, so it's normal for Jester not to feel it.

Every time he came to Los Angeles, he had to stay in a hotel, and Jester had enough of staying a little, and he also had a little idea of buying a house in Los Angeles, after all, he must have come a lot after that.

The house doesn't need to be too big, just an apartment, preferably in the city, so it's convenient, as for the price, Jester didn't pay much attention to it, after all, an apartment, even in a place like Los Angeles, as long as it is not a pain in the egg to go to Beverly Hills, the price will not be too outrageous.

However, now is not the time to think about it.

Before Jester came, he received a call from Qin Shuyao and asked him to pick her up from school, because Jester's grandfather's hotel was still some distance away from USC.

Driving the Ferrari, Jester came to the place that Qin Shuyao said, which was a café near Nanjia, and in front of this café, Qin Shuyao stood there with several other international students.

As for why not wait in front of the gate of the school, well, because USC is an open university, there is no gate.

In addition to Qin Shuyao, the other people saw a sports car that they had never heard of, and it was so beautiful, stopped in front of them, and their faces showed surprised looks.

At the same time, there is a kind of vigilance, which Jester is familiar with, a natural wariness of creatures against people who are not their own.

After seeing these five people, Jester became distressed.

Only then did he know that Qin Shuyao asked him to pick her up not alone, but her and her four classmates, who were all with her to prepare for this welcome party, the problem was that it was impossible for his supercar to sit in six people.

"Why didn't you explain it on the phone?" Jester said angrily to Qin Shuyao.

Qin Shuyao also realized that he seemed to have forgotten to explain things before, so he stuck out his tongue a little embarrassed and apologized in a low voice: "I forgot about it." ”

In the face of such an answer, Jester could only sigh helplessly.

I saw that there was no taxi nearby, so I could only get out of the car and go to the café, ask the waiter at the café to borrow a phone, and dial Carly.

However, the phone was answered by a female voice that Jester was not familiar with, and it seemed to be Carly's secretary, who told Jester that the company's CEO, Ms. Carly, had left for Portland, Oregon, yesterday to attend the flagship store of a popular game publishing company that had just been prepared to open, and was not in the company.

Then Jester remembered that he did get a phone call from Carly the other day, asking if he had time to go with her to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a new flagship store recently, after all, Jester couldn't attend the opening of the first flagship store in Los Angeles because of something, and the second one had to attend.

However, at that time, Jester was busy catching up with the progress of "Guild Wars City" and preparing for the establishment of "GAME" magazine, so he couldn't spare time, so he politely declined.

Then, Jester, who was not very dead-hearted, asked, "Is Adam Edgar here?" ”

This time he got an affirmative reply from the female voice on the phone, Adam Edgar was accompanying a customer in the Los Angeles flagship store to experience the game, and it was then that Jester remembered that he didn't even know the phone number of his publishing company in the Los Angeles flagship store, and after asking the female voice on the phone and getting an answer, Jester dialed his Los Angeles flagship store again.

After a brief explanation of his identity, the staff in the flagship store informed Adam Edgar, and Jester waited less than a minute before Adam Edgar's voice came from the other end of the phone.

His voice was a little excited, and he called Jester on the phone and said: "Even if you don't call, I'll call you later, I just met a big customer, from the UK, and they originally wanted to work with us to publish our games in Europe, but we have four European distributors that have been given to Sega, so I want to politely refuse, but their supervisor said that it doesn't hinder, she wants to work with us, not those four games." ”

"She?" Jester also heard Adam Edgar use the third person when he used the female her, so he asked out with some curiosity.

Originally, Adam Edgar wanted to explain in detail, but Jester didn't have time to listen to his tirade now, but learned that the person they wanted to work with this time was a young woman with an English knighthood, and it seemed that she had quite a background.

But Jester doesn't have time to care about that right now.

Jester explained the situation to Adam Edgar on the phone, asking him to send a car to pick up a few people near USC to a hotel.

After hearing Adam Edgar's agreeing reply, Jester hung up the phone, thanked the waiter who lent him the phone, asked for six cups of Blue Mountain coffee, and gave the waiter a tip as a token of appreciation.

The life of mainland students in this era is actually very difficult, and the only bit of foreign exchange has to be used on the blade, and they also need to work during the holidays to supplement their daily needs, but this is a drop in the bucket, as can be seen from the fact that Qin Shuyao, a powerful person from a wealthy background, is reluctant to spend money to buy a book he likes.

In her last life, Jester had read Chen Chong's memories of her life as a student in Los Angeles in the early 80s, and she also knew a little about their hardships.

Basically, these international students don't have any spare money to drink coffee.

Except for Qin Shuyao and Jester who are familiar with each other, the two sides are meeting for the first time, especially these international students from the mainland, who are still a little restrained when facing Jester, to be precise, they are estranged or wary.

In this regard, Jester could only introduce himself with a smile.

"Li Jie, English name Jester Lee."

But she didn't get an official response from these four people, which also made Qin Shuyao a little embarrassed, after all, Jester was called by her.

However, Jester didn't care much about this, he took the initiative to say hello because he saw the kindness of the countrymen, and it didn't matter if they appreciated it or not.

These international students are obviously wary of Jester, after all, these people have experienced that era of class struggle, and it can be seen from Jester's clothes and the car he drives that the person in front of them who is younger than himself is a capitalist.

Capitalists are all evil and all to be defeated, this is what they have been taught since childhood.

Facing the coffee Jester called them, the four international students of two men and two women except Qin Shuyao obviously didn't know how to deal with it.

On the one hand, they wanted to refuse with righteous words, but on the other hand, they wanted to taste what the Blue Mountain coffee tasted like they had only heard of, and Jester clearly saw a look of struggle in their eyes.

In particular, the appearance of the youngest man was the most obvious, and Jester was at first a little puzzled as to why this unmasked student looked at him with the kind of eyes that seemed to be looking at the enemy, his eyes were very different from the other three, and the other three were just a normal and wary look.

When he saw his gaze at Qin Shuyao, Jester knew.

It turned out that he regarded himself as a rival in love.

However, Jester observed carefully for a while, and he found that Qin Shuyao didn't seem to have any special expression for this international student whose name he didn't know, no different from the other three, and this international student didn't have any other specific expressions except for the look of admiration in his eyes that he wanted to hide as much as possible when he looked at Qin Shuyao.

It's just a crush. Jester made his own judgment on this.

Facing the ** of Blue Mountain Coffee, Qin Shuyao is nothing, her identity is special, her grandfather is the founding father, and she belongs to the privileged class in the mainland, some things that are difficult to see in China, although they are rare for her, but they are not untouched.

For example, Blue Mountain Coffee, when the Japanese delegation came to China a few years ago, gave a lot, in fact, it was her grandfather who received the gift.

But when she saw that none of her four friends had drunk it, it was inconvenient for her to drink it herself.

She could only look at Jester in embarrassment, and then at her friend in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

She even complained a little about Jester's flaunting of wealth in front of her friends.

Actually, Jester didn't have this idea at all, he just wanted to have a cup of coffee while waiting for the car sent by Adam Edgar, but with so many people here, he couldn't drink alone, right?

In the end, maybe he still didn't stand the inner **, or maybe he was relieved of this slightly awkward meeting, the oldest, about thirty years old, took the initiative to pick up a coffee cup full of coffee and smiled at Jester.

At the same time, he also said thank you.

Jester also smiled and nodded.

The other three saw that someone had drunk it first, so their expressions were no longer so difficult to choose, and almost at the same time, all three of them also served their coffee.
