Chicago.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Soris, I can't go over, it's not a matter of money, I've been busy lately, and I've formed a new choir that is preparing for next year's national competition, so you'd better hire another weeder.

I know, I know, but I'm really sorry, I'm really busy...... Just go twice a month and double your salary?

But Mr. Soris won't agree, will he? Leave him alone?

In Mary McGarn's detached villa, Owen was answering the phone, and Mary, who was wearing a bikini, crossed her legs, basking in the sun while drinking there with a small bottle of beer, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she listened to Owen's call.

"You're so popular! Even those desperate housewives have heard of your name!"

"Huh. ”

Owen put away his phone, shook his head and smiled: "No way, they are too enthusiastic, I am also desperate, and I really have no interest in them." ”

"I don't believe that!"

Mary scoffed, "You even have to be the instructor of the Eternal Spear Choir to match your aesthetics, I don't believe that if Gabriel Soris, a former famous model, hadn't been young and angry, would you have agreed to work as a weeder for her family?

"Of course I'm good at weeding!"

Owen laughed shamelessly.

"Shameless~"

Mary scolded, "By the way, what the hell are you doing in New York?"

"Nothing. ”

Owen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just went to a book signing in the past and made a friend by the way." ”

"Female friends?"

Mary was surprised: "You're exaggerating, aren't you? North Shore High School hasn't satisfied you, and you're driving to New York?"

"A real friend, a boy!"

Owen was speechless and said, "Teacher Mai Jia, in your eyes, am I that kind of person?"

Mary tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded affirmatively: "Yes!"

"Uh......"

Owen froze, reflected on himself, and muttered, "I seem to be really......"

"Alright, alright. ”

Mary was very good at taking care of Owen's emotions, and changed the subject with a smile: "How did you remember to go to New York to make this real friend? I remember, you hardly play with boys!"

"What do you mean I don't play with boys? Kevin, aren't they boys?"

Owen couldn't help but retort.

"They're just your players. ”

Mary said in one word: "In addition to this relationship, have you usually taken the initiative to find them?"

"Okay. ”

Owen smiled: "The key is that I don't have a common language with them, and I can't have as deep contact and understanding as I do with girls, so I seem lonely......"

"Giggles. ”

Mary shook her head and smiled: "Is there anything special about this boy? does he have a common language with you, or can he have in-depth contact and understanding with you?"

"Huh~"

Owen couldn't help but shudder, and in the midst of Mary's giggles, he complained: "Teacher Maijia, please don't say such disgusting things, okay? If it makes me feel psychological, it's you who is sad!"

While the two were laughing, Owen's mind flashed back to his experience in New Jersey a week ago.

When Owen used the chicken soup summarized by Leonard in the future, and poured Leonard with his backhand, he immediately poured Leonard directly, no one has ever known him and understood him so well, and every word Owen said spoke to his heart.

Just as Owen expected, Leonard directly and excitedly echoed him by calling him 'buddy', and at that time, the American drama system in Owen's mind sounded the sound of the trumpet, reminding Owen that he had gained Leonard's friendship.

It's just a pity that although Leonard shouted Buddy, which represents a good friend, the system still believes that the two are friends.

According to the explanation of the American drama system, in the United States, no matter what relationship, you can't ignore distance and time, not to mention friendship, even family affection, the blood connection here is very weak, and the feelings between people rely on the accumulation of many years, and once separated, even good friends and good friends will gradually become strangers.

Therefore, even if Leonard is very excited to gain Owen's friendship at the moment, it is not up to the standard of a good friend recognized by the system at all.

Although Owen felt very sorry in his heart, he could also understand it, because love over time is the norm in the world, not only limited to the United States, but more obvious and extreme in the United States.

After achieving the desired goal, Owen briefly deepened his friendship with Leonard, exchanged phone calls, and after asking him to contact him often, Owen left directly.

There was no way, if it wasn't for the hearty defeat of Jesse, Owen didn't plan to contact Leonard in advance before, because he didn't want to disrupt the life trajectory of the Big Bang Theory Seven, at least before the Big Bang Theory plot officially began, he didn't plan to interfere with them too much.

Who knows, will there be a butterfly effect, fanning the original group of seven directly? If this is really the case, then Owen will lose a lot!

Until then, it is very necessary to reduce your influence on the Big Bang Theory Seven as much as possible!

So Owen went straight back to Chicago, but fortunately, Leonard was about to go to college, and Owen only had to keep in touch like he did with Sheldon, which was enough to ensure his friendship with Leonard, and it would not have much impact on Leonard's life.

"What are your plans for funding the Eternal Spear Choir?"

After laughing for a while, Mary remembered what was going on, and she had only recently learned that a simple high school choir would spend so much money to participate in a competition.

It's no wonder that art groups such as choirs are so small, and it is difficult for public high schools to get rankings, which is too expensive.

That's why Sue Sylvester's popular approval ratings skyrocketed when she ran for state legislature with the slogan of abolishing school arts groups.

In this era, nearly 10,000 US dollars is equivalent to the salary of a high school teacher like Mary for nearly half a year, which is really not a small amount!

"Huh. ”

Owen smiled slightly and asked rhetorically, "Teacher Maijia, have you ever learned about the members of our Eternal Spear Choir?"

"Huh?"

Mary was stunned for a moment, then reacted, shook her head and smiled: "You mean to ask them for sponsorship?"

Regina, Gretchen, Suge, their families are very rich, as long as you ask, it is too easy for them to think about the sponsorship. ”

“Bingo！”

Owen snapped his fingers, "In fact, Suge has convinced her dad to sponsor all of our expenses throughout the process. ”

That's why Owen is so confident, if he just relies on him to find the money, he can scrape together nearly ten thousand dollars from exhaustion, but for Sug Motta, it's just a matter of lying to their father.

Therefore, Owen has already put this task on Su Ge and them, as for whether it is a bit of a loss of face to do so?

Come on！

This is the United States, no matter what method you use, as long as you can find money, it is a manifestation of ability!

"Great!"

Mary was genuinely happy for Owen, and then asked, "By the way, you're going to put Becca in charge of the arrangement, but what about the dance teacher you said?"
