Chapter 138: Celebrating the Big Contract
"50 million?" Julie wrenched her fingers, "God, my hourly wage at Mr. Schwertz is only $15, and 50 million has to make me work for as long as I want!" ”
Although the result was calculated, it did not satisfy Julie, "It's not fair! Cruze, you big capitalist, why do I have a salary of $15 an hour, and you can have a big contract of 50 million! ”
Lindsay, who was sitting on the side, looked at the two with interest, the royal sister is a public figure, and there is a lot of endorsement fees every year, although Li Chen's contract is incredible in the eyes of ordinary people, but Lindsay has long been surprised, she is thinking about how to celebrate this happy moment.
Li Chen took Julie in his arms, and the huge difference in value between her and her boyfriend made the girl a little depressed, "Honey, didn't your economics teacher tell you that the price of goods is determined by market demand?" To put it simply, anyone can be a little secretary who makes coffee and answers the phone and sends faxes, but not everyone can be a big star in the NBA! ”
Hum! Julie was very upset, and although the other party was telling the truth, it still sounded a little uncomfortable to her. "Big capitalist, I'm angry because I've been discriminated against in terms of value, so you have to compensate me!"
"Well, it's not me discriminating against you!" Li Chen was very wronged, how could he hear Julie say this, it felt like he was wrong.
"But it is precisely because of your existence that I feel that I am being discriminated against, don't you think that you and your fifty million should make a little compensation to me, a poor man who earns only $15 an hour?" It is estimated that it is due to the influence of Schwertz, Julie is much more shrewd now, and even ripping off the bamboo is so logical!
"What do you want?" Li Chen, who had just signed a 50 million contract, suddenly found that he was now a rich man, and he felt the need to make his own spending plan. Even if the money hasn't arrived yet, it's still worth expecting to spend!
Hey! Julie showed a successful expression of conspiracy, and it could be seen that her previous performance was all pretending, since she learned that Li Chen had signed a big contract, she completely occupied the computer, and what she did was very simple, that is, constantly stuffing things into her Amazon shopping cart!
"Log in to my Amazon account and pay for all the orders in my shopping cart! How, isn't it easy? Julie looked at her boyfriend expectantly, for fear that he wouldn't say half of it?
Well, after opening Amazon, Li Chen was frightened, it's really simple, the shopping cart is almost up to the limit, although there are not many valuable things, but the dazzling look at all kinds of things, the most of them are snacks.
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat after eating so much?" Saying that, Li Chen hugged the girl's slender waist, "If it gets thicker here, I won't regret it." ”
Lindsay was also frightened by Julie's shopping list, but the royal sister's statement was more absolute, "It's okay, and me, let her eat, when she gets fat, you just kicked her, then I have one less competitor!" ”
Lindsay's words almost didn't startle Li Chen, he turned his head to see Julie's reaction, in case these two made a fuss, then don't think about it today.
To his surprise, Julie didn't have a big reaction after hearing Lindsay's words, seeing Li Chen click on payment, the girl happily threw herself into her boyfriend's arms, "Don't you know that there is a group of people in this world who can't get fat by eating, I heard that it is a genetic defect, hey, I am a defective person, and I can only comfort myself by eating more!" ”
After saying that, Julie turned her head to look at Lindsay, she believed that the lethality of her words would be huge, and learned from the gossip news that celebrities generally have to control their diet, especially movie stars, Julie believes that Lindsay definitely has no luck of her own.
Sure enough, the royal sister scratched her head, she seemed to be said to the sore spot, "Julie, if you dare to eat snacks in front of me, believe me, we will throw them all into the toilet and rush to the Atlantic!" ”
Lindsay's threat didn't play a role, Julie was still enjoying herself, she looked back and forth several times on the complicated shopping list, for fear that something would slip through the net, after all, this kind of opportunity is not common, and I don't know when Li Chen will wait until the next time he signs this kind of big contract!
"Alright, don't irritate Lindsay!" Li Chen patted Julie's buttocks, "I don't want to see the two of you arguing, just like two ducks!" Although this is a siege relief, it can be heard that these words are definitely not clever enough, at least he offended two people at the same time.
"Really?" Lindsay's reaction didn't look appreciative at all, "Duck? Or two? Originally, the royal sister was very depressed by Julie's words, and when Li Chen said this, she seemed to have found a suitable punching bag in an instant.
Li Chen, who realized that the topic was wrong, hurriedly turned around and asked Julie for help, but the girl was obviously a little ungrateful. Although Julie, who had just fulfilled her wish, was not like the royal sister, it could be seen from her face that it was impossible to ask her for help. For someone with a cheap mouth, Julie's meaning is very clear, ask for more blessings!
A few hours later, a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles.
"That's what you call compensation?" Lindsay looked at the signboard at the door, the breath coming from it made her a little strange, and the royal sister shrugged the tip of her nose, "What kind of smell is this?" ”
Li Chen also smelled this breath, but he looked a little enjoyable, "This is the smell of chili peppers!" With that, he pushed the door open and walked in.
The layout of the store is very ordinary, probably because the taste is relatively niche, and the business of this store is not very good. If he hadn't heard it from his friends in the game, he wouldn't have known about this place. However, although the place is small, he has a very good appetite for Li Chen, and after coming once, he quickly likes this place.
"Hey, King, I'm here again!" Li Chen stretched out his hand to greet the owner of the store, because he could speak Mandarin, so he could get a discount every time he came.
The owner of the store was an old man who looked very kind, and after chatting a few times, Li Chen knew that the other party had just come to the United States, and his son was an executive of an American IT company. Although he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, he was a little bored outside after all, so he started his old business and opened a Sichuan restaurant, the business was not good but he could barely support it, and the old man lived comfortably.
"Welcome, big star." The boss also saw Li Chen, "You are about to become my most important guest." There is a reason why he said this, because the store is open in the United States, there are not many Chinese, there are even fewer Chinese who like to eat spicy, and most of the people who come here to eat are fresh, and few come back after eating once, and the reason why the small store has not closed down is only because the boss is still struggling to support it.
The boss's words made Li Chen smile, "Since I am so important, then go to be my personal chef when you can't run a business, I like to eat your dishes very much!" As he spoke, he gestured to Lindsay and Julie beside him, "Look, I brought two friends with me this time!" ”
"It's a girlfriend!" The well-informed old man saw through their relationship at a glance, "My son told me that your NBA stars not only make a lot of money, but also have a great reputation, and even if you are the best, I heard that you have played for a year, but you are more powerful than those who have played for more than ten years!" ”
Speaking of the old man, he seemed to remember something, he took out a jersey out of nowhere, "This is my son bought, he is busy with work, he has no chance to watch the game, after knowing that you will sometimes come over, he begged me to ask you for an autograph, this jersey was also bought by me in the store, it is very comfortable to touch, but it is too expensive, more than 100 dollars are enough to order a table of dishes!" ”
The boss is also a generation that has endured hardships, and after coming to the United States, he found that everyone likes to spend money, and they take out loans to buy this and that at every turn, which makes him a little unaccustomed to being thrifty. But fortunately, he is not very rigid, and the habit of following the local customs is still clear.
Li Chen took the pen and left a signature of Long Feifeng Dance on it, because the other party was Chinese, so he also attached an additional Chinese signature. If it is put in the fruit powder, this jersey will definitely cause a lot of sensation, after all, Li Chen uses the name Cruze most of the time, and as for the Chinese name, if it is not a special occasion, he generally rarely uses it.
"Okay, this is a Chinese-English version, and your son is satisfied!" handed back the signed jersey to the boss, and then Li Chen said the original purpose, "I'm bringing the two of them here today to try it, you must show your housekeeping skills!" ”
"No problem!" The boss patted his chest and promised, "I think I relied on my craftsmanship to support my son to go abroad, how can I do it without a little family skills!" ”
The boss's sworn appearance made Li Chen very happy, if he could let the other party show his housekeeping skills, then this trip would not be a loss!
"Cruz, is this place really as special as you say, and can make people who have been here remember it for a lifetime?" While waiting for the food to be served, the royal sister asked curiously, the expressions on the faces of the diners around her surprised her, some of them were red-faced, and they had to pour a few sips of drinks after eating a bite of food, while others were just the opposite, looking as if they were enjoying themselves.
Julie found the problem, "This must be a special restaurant in China, you see, most of the people who are not used to it are white, but there are also a lot of yellow people, and those who are very calm are all yellow without exception!" ”
After speaking, the girl seemed to show off, "Although this is the case, I am a person who has even eaten bear paws, and there is nothing I can't eat!" ”
Ever since she learned that Li Chen hadn't eaten those wild meats, Julie had often talked about her childhood, and every time she saw Li Chen's greedy expression, she had a mischievous pleasure.
Li Chen smiled faintly, not saying anything, but he was snickering in his heart, "Wait, it's good to have you!" However, out of safety, he still ordered a few drinks in advance, otherwise it would be a tragedy to eat a hot drink and not find a spicy drink later.
One is a sinister guy who has been mentally prepared for a long time and has a certain ability to bear it, but the other two don't know anything and are only curious and ignorant, and the consequences can be imagined.
Li Chen grabbed the drink in one hand and poured it into his mouth, and grabbed the chopsticks in the other hand and pulled it into his mouth, but the two girls could only watch from the side, they no longer had the courage to put it in their mouths after tasting it, in their opinion, this was simply a dish from hell, but it was incomprehensible that there were still people who liked to eat it!
Li Chen, who was on the verge of eating, glanced at the two girls, picked up a piece of boiled meat and put it in his mouth as if he was demonstrating, and swallowed it after taking a few bites. "How about it, don't try it again, I believe this dish will not disappoint you, it's delicious!"
"And Julie, although I don't know what bear's paw tastes like, I'm sure you'll love this dish!"
The man's under-flat appearance made the two girls very unhappy, and Lindsay, who had a lot of bad ideas, rolled her eyes, and she instantly thought of an idea. After whispering to Julie, the two girls suddenly got up, grabbed the drink in Li Chen's hand, and took away the few bottles that were still left beside them.
"Alright, you're ready to eat!" Lindsay pointed to the plate of boiled meat, "If you don't finish it, the consequences will definitely be a hundred times worse than you think." ”
As if that wasn't enough to relieve her anger, Lindsay added again, "Julie, you go and tell the boss to add more chili peppers, Cruze says his dish isn't flavorful enough!" ”
The consequences of angering a bad girl are very serious, and the consequences of doubting an old chef's craftsmanship are not optimistic, and with the cooperation of the two parties, Li Chen enjoyed a meal that he will remember for life.
The Big Apple took a leave of absence again, for a simple reason, so simple that it made him famous again.
"Coach, spare me, I really can't get by, even when I poop, the place is spicy, I suspect that I pulled out chili sauce!" (To be continued.) )
