Chapter 124: More than just making girls happy
The United States is a capitalist country, and everything is based on profit. The fact that Olivia was able to intern at the prestigious New York Times after graduating from college is a testament to her extraordinary.
The fact is also true, she not only graduated from an Ivy League university in the United States, but also received a scholarship for four years in a row, and her family background is also strong.
Otherwise, after the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the New York Times reporter station in Yenjing will not have a single intern reporter to come and mix qualifications.
Whether it is her academic qualifications or the literary literacy brought by the journalism major, she is told that the wonderfulness of Jiang Yulou's science fiction short story, if published, is really likely to shock the science fiction world.
Olivia readily agreed: "Jiang, Jessica, I'm more than happy to help with this, I can't wait to see the reaction of domestic science fiction fans and critics after seeing this novel." ”
"Oh, Olivia, you're such a nice guy!" Jessica looked emotional and hugged her good friend again.
"Don't rush to thank me just yet." Olivia shook her head, pushed Jessica away, and said to Jiang Yulou: "Jiang, you know that this matter is not very easy to handle. ”
"I know."
"No, I'm talking about time and distance." Oliveira smiled, "You know, China and the United States are separated by the Pacific Ocean, and communication is not very convenient. It can take a lot of time, can you understand that? ”
Jiang Yulou smiled, "If it's just this trouble, I don't think it's a big deal." ”
"Ha, if only you could understand. If you have other channels, I'm not against it. Olivia explains: "Helping others is not an easy task, and sometimes it can even lead to bad arguments. ”
"Olivia, your worries are unnecessary, since I asked you for help, I won't say anything more, I completely trust you."
Jiang Yulou's statement made Olivia feel good, "Don't worry, I will follow your novel from submission to publication." I will keep you informed of any feedback. ”
"By the way, does this novel of yours have a title?"
"How about calling 'The Last Man'?"
"It's very tasteful, I believe that after the novel is published, fans will love this story to death, and of course, they will also be curious about you, a writer from far away, and then I will have news to write about."
"Thank you for having so much faith in me."
"Haha, Jiang, you have such a good sense of humor. By the way, will you support my interviewing efforts? ”
"Of course." Jiang Yulou said happily: "I don't think if I don't do something for you, my conscience will be condemned." ”
"Hee-hee, I hope one day I can win a Pulitzer Prize by interviewing you."
The Pulitzer Prize, also known as the Pulitzer Prize for Journalism, is the highest honor in journalism in the United States. After continuous improvement of the selection system, the Pulitzer Prize has become the highest international award in the field of journalism, and is known as the "Nobel Prize in journalism".
"There will be a day." After Jiang Yulou blessed him, he said, "Maybe we can have more cooperation." ”
"Oh? For example......"
"For example, the news."
"Ah, Jiang, can you give me the news?"
"It's not accurate, I can help you analyze hot current events in English that is closer to the way of thinking of Chinese people."
"Really? I mean, thank you so much! ”
If other Chinese people said this, Olivia would scoff at it, but Jiang Yulou was different. He understands English, he understands America, and as a writer, he knows how to parse current events.
Jiang Yulou leaned into Olivia's ear and whispered, "Maybe I need you to help me a little when the time comes." ”
Olivia rolled her eyes and smiled, "If I can do it, it's definitely fine." ”
"Oh my God, Ginger and Olivia, they ......"
Jessica was once again stirred on by his suspiciously flirtatious gesture.
Jiang Yulou raised a glass: "Happy cooperation"
Jenny raised her glass: "Happy working together. ”
After drinking a cocktail, Jiang Yulou put the cup back on the bar and stretched out a hand very gentlemanly: "Can I ask you to dance?" Ms. Olivia. ”
"Absolutely."
She put her hand on it, and the two of them walked to the dance floor together, which inevitably caused a small commotion in the crowd.
In the crowd, there was a person familiar with Jiang Yulou who witnessed all this.
That's Wei Guoping.
He was looking at this scene with his mouth wide open at this time, "Yulou, how could Yulou dance with a foreign beauty, it's too ...... It's incredible! ”
He really wanted to step forward and grab Jiang Yulou's hand and ask all this clearly. Only in the end, he gave up. After all, the fact that he danced ballroom dancing was still very secretive, and he didn't want to expose it in front of strangers.
After watching it for a while, Wei Guoping left with a lot of concern.
In the middle of the dance floor,
"Jiang, I'm curious, haven't you really ever been abroad? I'm not suspicious of you, it's just that you do these things that even international students who have lived in the United States for many years can't do. ”
"Are you saying I'm good at making girls happy?"
Olivia didn't expect him to be so direct, not at all like the reserved Orientals she knew.
However, she obviously appreciated Jiang Yulou's directness more, so she nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"You're smarter than many young Americans I know, and you can do things that even they can't. Uh, sorry my Chinese sucks, how should I describe it in Chinese? ”
"There is a noun in Chinese called '牛力', read with me, '牛力'."
"Flow~Cons?"
"No, it's bull~awe!"
"Awesome~awesome!"
"By the way, Olivia, you're smart."
"Then I'm awesome too?"
"Well, that's awesome."
"Giggle."
Olivia laughed happily, she felt that it was really easy and happy to chat with this little Chinese boy.
It's just how to put it.,It seems to be a little flowery.。
She glanced at Jessica, who was sitting at the bar, but her eyes kept glancing at them.
After dancing, the two returned to the bar.
Jessica was expressionless and said in a low tone, "I thought you weren't coming back." ”
Olivia winked at her and smiled, "I think too, Jiang is really good at dancing, and his hands are warm." ”
After speaking, she also glanced at Jiang Yulou shyly and timidly.
Ah, she's an American girl, but she's so good.
Just such a sentence, a small action, can be called full of tea flavor.
Jessica's face froze, and her drinking movements accelerated significantly.
Oops, it's not going to fight, is it?
Jiang Yulou's heart tightened, and he excused himself to go to the bathroom, leaving two American girls to snipe in the middle line.
Ten minutes later, he returned.
At this time, he noticed that the two seemed to be reconciled, but Jessica seemed to have drunk too much.
"Olivia, Jessica is drunk, I'll help her back to school first. By the way, don't forget what I said. ”
Jiang Yulou winked at the girl, grabbed Jessica's arm and turned to leave the dance hall.
Olivia stared down at the wine in her glass, and drank it down, she looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, her eyes flickering, not knowing what she was thinking.
