Hong Kong's harbor is also good, Xiao Ke complains that I don't give gifts, why don't you buy a yacht for her?

This one is in good shape, but it's a pity that it's too small......

It looks quite chic, I don't know what the interior is like......

Fang Xiao was wrapped in a nightgown and holding a water glass, standing on the balcony, his eyes wandering, picking and picking like a toy in a supermarket, and then the phone rang.

"Mr. Fang, are you up?"

"Come here."

“ok。”

Fang Xiao left the balcony and opened the door, and saw Huang Yuanyuan, she was wearing a black and gray thick striped long T-shirt, her small and delicate figure was matched with loose clothes, which had a unique sense of beauty.

"Morning, how's the rest?"

"I've never slept as comfortably as I did last night." Huang Yuanyuan sighed in typical American terms: "Oh, I love that big bed!" ”

"You can get a little more sleep, it's still early, it's just after 7 o'clock."

"I'm afraid if I go back to sleep, you'll run away." Huang Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and said, "I followed you for three days, but I don't want to lose both people and money." ”

Qian Zhongshu said that after a long journey, people who don't hate each other can be friends, Huang Yuanyuan traveled with Fang Xiao for three days when he was in the worst mood, and he didn't dislike him at all, so he can be regarded as good friends.

"Please come in." Fang Xiao motioned for her to sit on the balcony outside the living room, and said, "I was just about to call breakfast service, why don't you go together?" ”

"That couldn't be better."

On the balcony, there were two brown single sofas and a wooden coffee table, after Huang Yuanyuan sat on them. He twisted his body very comfortably, turned his head sideways to enjoy the beautiful scenery under the morning sun, and said, "It's better to have money, you can have whatever you want." You can enjoy life wherever you go. ”

"It's not a good thing that your wishes come true. What's the point of being alive if you want everything and have it? ”

"That's why you're flying around?"

"Nope. Just casually talking. Fang Xiao found the order list, handed it to her along with the cordless phone, and said, "The restaurant in this hotel is known as 'the best food in Los Angeles', and you are the head snake." Order one for me, I'll go change first. ”

Fang Xiao tossed for a few minutes, and when he came out again, Huang Yuanyuan had already ordered breakfast and asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

"The flight at 3:45 p.m. will go to Songjiang first, and then transfer back to Hong Kong."

"I wish you a nice trip."

"Thank you." Fang Xiao sat down opposite her. Asked: "Now that the World Cup is over, is your job done or failed?" ”

"Don't you think it's too late for you to care about my work now?" Huang Yuanyuan supported her forehead with her left hand and teased: "Fall in love with me? ”

Fang Xiao smiled. He shook his hand, picked up the glass and took a sip of water, and then said, "I heard that Erica's contract ends next month, do you want to go with her or stay in Adidas?" ”

Huang Yuanyuan showed an exaggerated naughty expression like a child again, and said: "I forgot to tell you, I'm not actually Erica's assistant, I'm just a part-time temporary worker in Adidas, and Erica hasn't even seen me before I go to the airport to guard you." ”

"Temporary workers? Are you a school student? ”

"It's not." Huang Yuanyuan stroked the long hair next to her ears, hesitated slightly, and said, "I am a writer." ”

Writer?

If you say you're an actor, maybe it's more convincing......

Fang Xiao was about to tease, but when he heard the room attendant's knock on the door, he stood up and went to open the door, and asked as he walked, "Write a novel or what?" ”

"Neither, I'm writing a movie script...... Already halfway through it. ”

Los Angeles is the base camp of Hollywood, there are countless talents engaged in the film and television industry, Fang Xiao didn't care, waited for the waiter to set up the breakfast, gave a tip according to the local customs, and after sending it away, he looked at the two black cakes on the plate in front of him, and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Mamacita coriander hash browns, it tasted good."

Fang Xiao pursed his lips, picked up the knife and fork, and tried to eat it, feeling that it was indeed delicious, so he nodded with satisfaction and praised: "You know how to eat well." ”

"More than 100 years ago, Chinese people came to the United States, either to work as coolies or to open restaurants, my family opened restaurants, and they have been open for more than 100 years, if they don't know how to eat, they can't talk about it."

"You own a Chinese restaurant, right?"

"Originally, of course, it was Chinese food, but now it also makes Western food, a combination of Chinese and Western."

"So you're supposed to be a good cook?"

"I can eat, I can't cook, my brother is a chef." Huang Yuanyuan picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and said, "If you have time at noon, I invite you to try his craftsmanship." ”

Fang Xiao looked up at her and asked, "You still have a brother?" ”

"Three."

"Then you are so happy, you have been taken care of by three men since birth...... Fang Xiao chatted with her for a while, and then asked, "Can you contact Erica?" ”

"I only have the phone number of her real assistant."

"I'll try it later." Fang Xiao ate the last small piece of pancake and said, "I want to invite her to lunch and talk about something by the way." ”

Huang Yuanyuan took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, and after answering and saying a few words, she covered the microphone and asked softly, "Man asks where to eat." ”

"Let's go to your restaurant."

Huang Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows, grimaced, and after ending the call, she said with a smile: "What, taking care of my family's business can be regarded as repaying me for my hard work in helping you run errands in the past few days?" ”

Fang Xiao shrugged his shoulders.

"Erica is very picky about food, and I have to talk to my big brother so he can prepare it properly." Huang Yuanyuan made another call, muttered for a few minutes, and after hanging up, said, "I only left in the afternoon, what do you do in the morning?" ”

"I'm going to go shopping and buy a few gifts. It's not nice to go home empty-handed, do you work as a part-time tour guide? I invite you. ”

"I'm expensive."

"The price is easy to say." Fang Xiao picked up the napkin, wiped his hands, and said, "Since you are not Erica's assistant. How do you know she's fussy? ”

"Erica is a regular on fashion shows and well-known magazines. She also writes a column on the &traveler website, and all Americans know that she is a fastidious and ruthless woman. Huang Yuanyuan put down the knife and fork she had just picked up. frowned and said: "When I think of her, I have no appetite, why don't you change the restaurant, my family's century-old signboard." Can't be ruined by her. ”

"So unconfident?"

"You don't know how picky Erica is, let me tell you, once she went to eat at a restaurant in Manhattan, New York, and was criticized by her for a small mistake by the chef, which has been open for more than 20 years and has always had a good reputation. Then it closed quickly. Huang Yuanyuan sighed and said, "My eldest brother's cooking level is very high, the management level is very poor, and the neighborhood where my restaurant is located is very old. The environment is average. ”

Fang Xiao touched his chin and said, "Since that's the case, then you can help me change places." ”

Huang Yuanyuan hesitated for a while, shook her head and said: "Forget it, take a gamble, if Erica says a few good words in the column, business will be ten times better, and it doesn't matter if she says bad things, anyway, most of our customers are neighbors." ”

"Eat some, or you'll be hungry." Fang Xiao picked up the cordless phone, dialed the hotel reception, and said, "I want a car." ”

"Sir, what kind of car?"

"Ferrari, open-top."

When he put down the phone, Huang Yuanyuan muttered in English: "Excellent choice." ”

"Sunshine, sand, sea breeze, beautiful scenery, luxury cars......" Fang Xiao stood up, walked to the balcony, held on to the railing and said with a smile: "It's just a beautiful woman." ”

"You're so rude!"

Los Angeles is not only strategically located, the climate is also unique, July fire, scorching sun, the highest temperature in Hong Kong is 344 degrees, and here is only 278 degrees, the morning is even cooler, very suitable for driving a convertible, Fang Xiao is wearing a floral shirt, wearing sunglasses, driving a Ferrari, speeding along the coastline, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sea breeze is blowing, pleasing to the eye, relaxed and happy.

"Am I like this, like a playboy?"

"In a playboy's car, there won't be just one ugly woman."

Fang Xiao laughed, he sped up a little faster, and asked, "You said you were writing a movie script, what kind of script?" ”

"I haven't written it yet."

"There's always an idea, right?"

"I wanted to write a script about our family's story, the kind of story that uses family changes to reflect the changes of the times, it's very complicated, and I haven't thought about it yet."

"Sounds good, you're ambitious." Fang Xiao looked sideways at Huang Yuanyuan in the passenger seat and asked, "What works have you written before?" ”

"I wrote a few short stories when I was in college, and I co-wrote the screenplays for a few soap operas after graduation."

"Talented girl! Why do you want to work part-time? ”

"No one has come to me for five months to write a script, and if I don't look for a job, I'm going to starve to death."

"What do you do part-time?"

"Writing and translating copy." Huang Yuanyuan coughed lightly and read in a rough voice: "I'm Leonardo, I really hope nothing happened, it almost ruined my career, this blow is too big, I almost want to give up, but the difficult times will always pass, as long as I can persevere, keep moving forward, fight to the end, one day, I will be the champion!" ”

"Nicely written."

"It's just mixed rice."

"What college did you go to?"

"Berkeley, majoring in Comparative Literature and minoring in Dramatic Arts."

Fang Xiao was surprised, glanced at her again, and said, "I really didn't see that you are actually a top student from a world-famous school." ”

"What? Do I speak without culture or behave without temperament? ”

"Your facial expressions are so contrived, I always thought you were from some pheasant university's acting department."

"I didn't see it, as a big-name star, you are so cheap." Huang Yuanyuan quarreled with him for a few words and asked, "What gifts are you going to buy?" There is no shopping center in front of this road. ”

"I didn't think about it, I bought what I liked...... Jewelry bar. ”

"Nothing new."

"If every man had a new idea, the jewelry industry would go out of business." Fang Xiao pushed his sunglasses and said, "I still want to buy a guitar." ”

……

Ms. Huang's restaurant isn't in traditional Chinatown, but in Monterey Park, east of Los Angeles, the buildings are a bit older but cleaner. Neither the clutter of old-fashioned Chinese neighborhoods nor the graffiti common in black neighborhoods, it belongs to the mature middle-class ghetto.

The restaurant is not small, with two floors. On the first floor is a McDonald's-like simple dining table and chairs. On the second floor, there are sofa seats and private rooms, and the decoration design is very ordinary. Nothing special.

"The last dish, milk soup and grass belly, is a famous dish from Fujian, China."

In a small box facing the street, Erica picks up a spoon. Scooped a little of the milky white soup in the crockpot in front of him, tasted it shallowly, closed his eyes slightly, and contemplated it for a second or two, then opened his eyes and said approvingly: "good." ”

Huang Yuanyuan, who served as a waiter herself, was relieved, and Fang Xiao stuck out her tongue and made a grimace. Then he took the tray and left.

"The cutlery is not refined enough, and it lowers the grade." Erica took another sip of the soup, put down the spoon, and said, "Except for the cook." Everything in this restaurant needs to be replaced, otherwise it will be difficult to attract high-end customers. ”

Fang Xiao belongs to a very sensitive person, when interacting with people, he can often feel at first glance that he is not in tune with the other party, such as Huang Yuanyuan, he can talk and laugh like a friend, but with Erica, he feels that there is nothing to say - the way of thinking and dealing with people are not in the same world.

So he smiled and nodded, agreed, and then said straightforwardly, "Erica, I'm sorry. ”

"It's nothing, there is no clause in the contract I signed with Selina that requires Mr. Fang to perform live." Erica picked up the wine glass, gently shook the red wine inside, and asked, "Mr. Fang invited me to lunch, not just to apologize, right?" ”

"Of course not. Erica, I really appreciate what you did for Adidas during the World Cup, and I think you did something similar for me. ”

"What?"

"Make me more famous in the United States and Europe."

"Mr. Fang, you are already very famous."

"Adidas is more famous than me, but they hired you anyway." Fang Xiao also picked up the wine glass and explained: "I want to be a popular symbol, a symbol that everyone will think of when it comes to China, just like the Great Wall." ”

Erica pursed her thin lips, stared at Fang Xiao, and said, "This is not an easy job. ”

"If it were simple, I wouldn't be looking for you." Fang Xiao quoted a lyric from "We-are-the-S" and said, "This is a challenge facing all mankind. ”

"We-are-the-s is a good song, but ......," Erica greeted him with a glass of wine, and then said bluntly, "I personally don't like this song, I chose it because it fits Adidas' marketing needs." Mr. Fang, one song is not enough to become a world-class superstar. ”

"I know." Fang Xiao smiled slightly, he put down his wine glass, and said: "Erica, Selina said that if I can get your approval, it will be equivalent to knocking on the door of American pop music, I have written a few songs on the plane in the past few days, are you interested in listening to them?" ”

"Now?"

Fang Xiao made a gesture to please continue eating, and then said, "Anytime." ”

"I've also heard Selina say that Mr. Fang can write songs anytime and anywhere, and I've always been skeptical about that." Erica wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and said, "After enjoying the food, it would be nice to have some good music." ”

"Ok, please come with me."

Fang Xiao took Erica to another empty box, and then used his newly bought guitar to play and sing a classic nuclear bomb-level song - "RDAY" by the beatles.

This song is one of the most famous songs of the beatles, with beautiful melodies and timeless lyrics, portraying the shadow of everyone's soul lost in the long river of time, once the song was released, it caused a strong response, regardless of the social background and aesthetic orientation, almost everyone was moved by it, timeless, full of honors, it can be called the golden song of the golden songs, such as "Guinness World Records" certified that it is the most covered song of all time, EMI records claimed that the light was in the 20th century, The song has been performed more than 7 million times, and it is ranked No. 13 on Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" and on the "100 Greatest English Songs Since 1963" by Rolling Stone and MTV.

"RDAY" is a work completed by Paul McCartney**, the melody is inspired by a dream, McCartney played the melody with the piano immediately after waking up from the dream, and then wrote it into a song, dreaming is an absolutely uncontrollable random event, so in the world of Fang Xiao's life, it has not appeared......

“…… rday,love-was-such-an-easy-game-to-w-i-need-a--to-hide-away

oh,i-believe-in-……

……”

At the end of the song, before Erica could speak, Huang Yuanyuan, who was standing behind her, said first: "I am such a lucky girl who witnessed the birth of a great work. ”

"If you can give me another song like this, I guarantee you'll be the center of the world's attention."

So Fang Xiao plucked the guitar and sang a beatles-level song - "Let-It-Be"......

The reason why he found Erica and continued to make big moves is because after thinking about it in the past few days, Fang Xiao has a clear plan for the future and a bigger goal - he wants to be a world pop culture symbol like Elvis Presley and MJ, Elvis Presley brought rock music to the world, MJ brought disco and MV to the world, and Fang Xiao wants to expand his music kingdom to the world......
