Chapter 144: A Dinner Treat
Jiang Yulou originally only planned to invite Jessica and Olivia to dinner, but Jessica's words made him change his mind.
"Yulou, can I call Lucy them? After they know that you are a writer in Huaxia, they are very curious and want to make friends with you. ”
Jiang Yulou stopped, and after thinking for a while, he asked with interest: "Oh, I didn't expect that I was still famous among foreign friends?" By the way, are there many people who want to know me? ”
"There are a lot of people, but there are not many people who have a good relationship with me, I want to invite three people this time, do you think it's okay?" Jessica asked.
If you add that he himself is only six people, then there is no problem.
So, he smiled and said, "Then let's go together, I will invite you to eat Western food." ”
After meeting Jessica, and through her connections, she met Olivia again, and the novel was published in American magazine.
This doesn't just show that it is still very useful to know more foreigners in this era.
Although most of the international students in China are from the ordinary class, they may not know some special people, or they will have special opportunities in their later lives.
Have a good relationship with these foreigners, maybe there will be a place to help him in the future.
After getting his consent, Jessica happily called someone to go, and Olivia's pretty face showed a smile, "I have met a few of Jessica's friends, they are all poor students, and it doesn't matter. ”
Jiang Yulou knew the meaning of her words, and said frankly: "It's nothing, make friends." It was also interesting to meet students from other countries and exchange experiences. ”
Olivia saw that he understood what he meant, and said no more.
In the middle of the night, Jessica came with a few friends. After everyone gathered, the six of them got out of the school gate and got on the bus, and ran towards Lao Mo in a mighty way.
Along the way, the six of them are all very eye-catching existences.
Five international students are just that, and Jiang Yulou's existence is more peculiar.
A Chinese face actually walked with five foreigners, which is particularly incomprehensible. What's more, the two good-looking and exotic girls are still very close to him, and it is difficult not to receive attention.
In addition to Jiang Yulou and Olivia, several international students are looking forward to the dinner. Maybe it's also because I'm tired of eating in the cafeteria, and I want to change my tricks and I don't have the money.
Along the way, they also asked questions and were particularly interested in everything.
After Jiang Yulou answered, he casually asked and realized that they rarely went out of the campus on weekdays, and basically walked around the campus. It's rare that he is a "tour guide" this time, and it will be very noisy.
It was easy to get to the station, and he hurriedly pulled a few people out of the car.
If he doesn't get out of the car, he will have to worry about the other passengers in the car having opinions.
Of course, he was overly worried. Even the people of Yanjing don't have many opportunities to meet foreigners these days, and it is quite strange to see them.
"Here we are, this is the restaurant."
The current Lao Mo is still a relatively luxurious consumption for ordinary people, and a person has to pay a week's salary for eating, and he is not a government employee, or there are not many people who can afford it.
Once inside, they sat down at a long table, and there were just six of them.
After asking for a set meal for six people, several people chatted easily.
"Do you know that Yulou's novel is going to be published in a science fiction magazine in the United States?" Jessica's expression was a little smug, after all, among the international students here, she had the most to do with this matter.
After saying the news, she couldn't wait to see their surprised expressions.
Not disappointing her, several of her friends asked in surprise when they heard such exciting news.
"It's the science fiction story told by Yulou, I think it's very good, and it even has the potential to be published, so I introduced my Olivia sister to him. The novel was published, and Olivia also contributed to it. ”
Olivia just smiled at a few people.
Several people also knew her, an intern reporter for the New York Times, but they didn't expect her to be quite energetic.
After all, it is not easy for a novel written by a Chinese to be published in the United States.
However, then again, it is better enough for Jiang's novel to impress the editors of the magazine.
Thinking like this, Jiang Yulou's figure became taller and taller in their hearts.
Although this country is not economically developed, it is capable of producing many people, and it really cannot be underestimated in the slightest.
As a result, everyone respected Jiang Yulou even more.
"The Chinese civilization is splendid and long, and there have been many writers since ancient times, and Mr. Jiang will be as famous as his ancestors in the future." A neon girl sighed.
This girl's name is Saten Tear, a neon Kanto native, and her ambition is to become an editor at Kadokawa Bookstore after graduation.
The neon girl is more shy, and she doesn't talk much on weekdays, but now it seems that she just hasn't encountered a favorite topic before.
Jiang Yulou said modestly: "I don't dare to be a teacher, I just want to be a writer that the people like." ”
"At Neon, writers are respectable and worthy of the title of teacher. And Mr. Jiang is so good, as a Chinese writer, but he has published his works in the largest science fiction magazine in the United States, which is already very, very remarkable. The neon girl's tone was reverent.
"Yes, it is already a great success for a work to be recognized by editors from other countries."
"It has to be exciting enough, obviously Jiang, has this strength."
Jiang Yulou thanked again: "It's still thanks to Jessica and Olivia, otherwise no matter how good my writing is, it's useless." ”
Jessica praised: "I believe that sooner or later your work will conquer the world." ”
"I really don't dare to dream about it." Jiang Yulou smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In his past life or in this life, no writer can make people like him all over the world.
Olivia smiled, "But you can work towards this goal, and we all hope to see this sooner rather than later." ”
"Being praised by you like this, I am a little enthusiastic." Jiang Yulou touched his nose and said with a smile.
Zuo Tian's tearful eyes were full of seriousness: "I have read several of Mr. Jiang's works, and the literary quality is very high. When I graduate, if I can work at Kadokawa Shogun, I will definitely recommend that I bring these works in. ”
"Then I'll thank you in advance." Jiang Yulou said with a smile.
Neon Girl is serious, but he only takes it as an encouragement and recognition.
Soon, the meals were served one by one.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the big meal in front of them, although it was Soviet food, but at this time, it seemed that the international students who had eaten in the cafeteria for several months were also very rich.
After they finished eating, they walked out of Lao Mo, and they all couldn't straighten their waists, they were really too full.
Jessica said: "Hopefully there will be another chance like this next time." ”
It's not that she lacks this stutter, but she is very satisfied with the meeting.
In the end, it is the Americans, born party animals.
Olivia smiled and said, "Next time when I pay my salary, I'll invite everyone to eat." ”
"Okay, it's decided."
"I'm going to have to keep my stomach good next time."
"I prefer to eat delicious Chinese food rather than Soviet food."
“……”
A few people talked and laughed all the way back to school, and agreed to come out for a party next time.
