Chapter 20: Punk Girl
Time flies, and in a few days it will be time for the Democratic Party to be invited by Oba. For Los Angeles, the most famous city in the western United States, both Su Zhen, Liu Ru, and Liu Shihua Rachel have been fascinated for a long time. Perhaps it should be said that he is more fascinated by Hollywood.
And in addition to attending the gathering of the Democratic Party, Su Zhen has another thing to do.
That is to pave the way for the publication of his own novels, Su Zhen has completed the novel of the "Twilight" tetralogy, but he has encountered some trouble in publishing, during this time Su Zhen has also contacted several publishers, but the share ratio given by the publisher is difficult to make Su Zhen satisfied, although the results of the Legend of the Night are the last, Su Zhen is not sure, but the approximate sales of "Twilight" Su Zhen is clear, naturally unwilling to give such a big cake, most of it to the publishing house, the most ruthless, simply bought his own publishing house and published it himself, so Su Zhen called Aikman and asked Aikman to investigate whether there were any small publishing houses in Los Angeles that were not well run to sell.
Originally, Su Zhen had long wanted to come to Los Angeles and wanted to get a piece of the pie on "Titanic", but he got the wrong time, Su Zhen always thought that the Titanic was only released in 1998, and in his previous life, he saw on the Internet that this movie was not funded when it was about to be filmed, and director James Cameron went to pull an investment of 20 million to finish the film, but Rachel found out that the film was filmed when Su Zhen first arrived in the United States, and it was ready to be officially released on November 1.
Su Zhen was very annoyed about missing the investment in this god film, but he couldn't help it, so he remembered the wrong time.
After finishing things in Los Angeles, Su Zhen's family and Rachel were ready to fly back to China from Los Angeles for the Spring Festival, fortunately, this year's Spring Festival is at the end of January, and there are still more than ten days, so Su Zhen and they can stay in Los Angeles for about a week.
However, although there are still more than ten days, Liu Ru has already begun to prepare for the New Year, which is different from when she first came to the United States, when she came to the United States, she only had a few personal belongings, but since she was returning to China for the New Year, she must have brought some gifts to relatives and friends. So Liu Ru packed a lot of wallets, bags, belts and other gifts made of cowhide from her own pasture, which is made of good Angus cowhide, and now it is difficult to buy such good cowhide products in China, and then go to Los Angeles to buy some jewelry, perfume and other things on the line, when the time comes, the items will be airlifted over, and the airline will be very reliable, at least it will not be like the railway department, and there are some good things in the passenger's luggage that will be "lost" at every turn.
It was already afternoon when I arrived in Los Angeles, and as soon as I got out of the passage, I saw Aikman who came to pick up the airport, and Aikman helped a few people pack their luggage, and then drove a few people to the city.
Aikman had already set up a room at the Beverly Hotel in the famous Beverly Hills according to Su Zhen's request, and after about half an hour's drive, he arrived at this famous city within a city.
"Okay, don't scream, when my novel is published, we will also buy a mansion here, and then you can see these stars every day." Su Zhen said with a smile.
"That's what you said, if you don't make any money by then, my aunt and I will sell you and buy a house here," Liu Shihua smiled and threatened.
When I arrived at the hotel, I just put my luggage and had a simple dinner, and I couldn't bear Liu Shihua and Rachel and took Liu Ru to visit Beverly Hills. Only Aikman and Su Zhen were left in the hotel to discuss the acquisition of the publishing house.
Aikman took out the materials of three publishing houses that met Su Zhen's requirements.
Su Zhen looked at it, a publishing house with magazines, newspapers, books and other categories, and the asking price was only more than 2 million US dollars, but there were as many as 3 million or so debts, which were directly passed by Su Zhen. In the end, Su Zhen chose a publishing house that only operates novel publishing, anyway, Su Zhen just needs to publish novels, and he doesn't know anything about the operation of newspapers and magazines. Once it was settled, he asked Aikman to talk to the owner of the magazine, after all, it was more convenient for a white man to come forward in these matters.
Once it was decided, Aikman took his leave and left. After Aikman left, Su Zhen saw that it was still early, and estimated that Liu Ru and the others would not be able to come back for a while while shopping, so they prepared to go out to shop by themselves.
The Beverly Hills at night is brightly lit and very beautiful, Su Zhen is wandering aimlessly by himself, and when he passes by a bar, a noise comes from the door of the bar, and then Su Zhen sees a blonde girl being pushed out of the bar by two security guards and falls to the ground, "Get out, little girl, this is not a place for minors" After speaking, he walked back to the bar without looking back, and closed the door.
“FUCK! Ghosts rarely come to your place" The girl scolded at the closed bar door with her middle finger, and there were many tricks of scolding, more than a dozen sentences without repetition, and after standing up, she also yelled at the onlookers around her: "What do you see, I haven't seen a fight or I haven't seen a beautiful woman" Su Zhen was dumbfounded.
"Are you okay?" Su Zhen walked over and asked.
The girl turned her head in surprise, and at this time Su Zhen saw the girl's appearance clearly, the girl was not tall, about the same as herself, and she was only one meter four, so she should not be very old. Although the dress is more mature, it is obviously a trace of immaturity, delicate facial features, thin eyebrows, big watery eyes painted with eye shadow, straight nose, thin lips, the corners of the mouth on both sides are slightly naturally upturned, because Los Angeles is a typical Mediterranean climate, so even if it is winter, there are about ten degrees at night, which is not cold, so the girl only wore a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, but the T-shirt may have been torn when pulling with the security guard, and a pair of canvas shoes were worn on the feet, A typical punk girl, I don't know what this girl is giving Su Zhen an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
At this time, the girl was also looking at the oriental boy in front of her, a teenager who was about the same height as herself, wearing a typical denim plaid shirt and a jacket over it, and looking very delicate.
"It's okay, thank you," the girl smiled faintly.
Su Zhen took off his jacket and handed it to her, looked at the girl with a puzzled expression, then pointed to her T-shirt and said, "Your clothes are torn"
At this time, the girl noticed the spring light that she had leaked, screamed, and snatched the jacket from Su Zhen's hand, quickly put it on her body, and thanked Su Zhen at the same time, "Thank you, little ghost."
Su Zhen was full of black lines, "Don't call me a little ghost, you don't see much of a little girl"
"How old are you," the girl asked, looking at Su Zhen.
"I ......" Su Zhen almost blurted out
"Why don't you dare to say it?" The girl smiled proudly at Su Zhen
"How old are you?" Su Zhen cross-examined
"Don't you know that it's rude to ask a lady's age casually," the girl frowned
"Little girl, can you be considered a lady" Su Zhen didn't know what was going on, obviously a person in his thirties was actually angry with a teenage girl.
"Sister, I'm fourteen years old, you little ghost" The girl rolled her eyes.
"I won't tell you," Su Zhen pursed his lips
"Ha Luha, you must be younger than me, don't dare to say" The girl smiled proudly, "Or call me sister obediently"
Looking at the girl's smiling face, Su Zhen was slightly distracted, but quickly came back to his senses and "hummed" Su Zhen was arrogant
"Little ghost, how about my sister take you for a drink" the girl invited
"Minors can't drink," Su Zhen frowned
"Okay little ghost, don't pretend to be like a little old man, you have to have fun when you come out to play, wine is a very delicious drink" The girl tempted Su Zhen like a child with a lollipop (it seems that she was originally a child...... )
Su Zhen looked at the crazy girl helplessly, "Okay, you decide" thought to himself, it seems that he has not drunk since he was reborn, and he seems to be a little greedy......
"By the way, what's your name, little ghost," the girl asked
"My name is Su Zhen, you can call me Su, and you are not allowed to call me a little ghost" Su Zhen gritted his teeth
"Okay, little ghost, my name is Avril Lavigne, you can just call me Avril," the girl said with a smile, completely ignoring Su Zhen's protests.
Su Zhen was helpless, wait...... Avril? Avril Lavigne? Su Zhen looked at the girl in shock, no wonder he felt so familiar when he saw her, what kind of luck did he go, he could meet a future superstar when he came out for a walk, but the shock was only for a while, after all, the current Avril Lavril is only a 14-year-old girl, and she has even seen the future president of the United States, let alone a star, but if it is possible, if you open a company and sign Avril in, it will be another cash cow.
Avril didn't realize that Su Zhen was already thinking about how to sell her for a few dollars in her head, and if she knew it, she would probably kill Su Zhen.
In the end, the two failed to enter any bar, after all, although the two were more mature than their peers, they were still too immature to look like adults.
Even the supermarket refused to sell any alcoholic beverages to the two, and eventually bought some beer from the vending machine.
The two found a quiet basketball court and drank on the basketball court, chatting all over the world while drinking.
It turned out that Avril was on New Year's holiday and ran out to play alone, because her dream is to be a singer, so every long vacation, she will come to several big cities in the United States, hoping to be signed by a long-form company and become a real singer. 、
"I believe that you will succeed and become the top singer in the world," Su Zhen encouraged.
"Thank you, little ghost, I think so too" Avril was very happy to get Su Zhen's encouragement, "Little ghost, what is your dream?"
"My dream is to make a lot of money and become the biggest landlord in the world" Su Zhen was full of pride, he was immune to Avril's name of a little ghost, and he was no longer entangled in the boring dialogue of "Don't call me a little ghost" and "It's a good ghost, little ghost".
After learning that Su Zhen was now a rancher, Avril called out a lot of money and asked Su Zhen to take her to hunt and ride horses in the future.
Drinking and chatting like this, Avril was already drunk next to Su Zhen when she reached the end.
Su Zhen only remembered at this time that he didn't know where Avril lived, he had a headache now, he couldn't throw her here, right? Although this is Beverly, the safest place in the United States, you can't let a girl sleep outside like this.
