Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1338 Fighting 【Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass】

Wang Lin and the others traveled to the Statue of Liberty according to the previous plan.

Across the water from the southern tip of Manhattan Island, there is a small island called Liberty Island, also known as Statue of Liberty Island.

In 1886, the 100th anniversary of American independence, France gave it a statue as a gift.

The statue is 46 meters high, 93 meters plus the base, and weighs 225 tons.The entire bronze statue uses 120 tons of steel as the skeleton, 80 tons of copper sheets as the outer skin, and is assembled and fixed on the bracket with 30 rivets.When night fell, the light from the base of the statue shone upwards, illuminating the goddess like a light blue jade sculpture, with a graceful posture.

这个雕像，坐落于纽约附近的自由岛，是由雕刻家弗雷德里克·奥古斯特·巴托尔迪于1884年5月21日完成的传世佳作，后于1886年10月28日落成。

The statue is based on the Statue of Liberty in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. The appearance design of the goddess comes from the sculptor's mother. There was the Declaration of Independence of July 1776, 7, and there were shattered manacles, fetters, and chains underfoot.

The Statue of Liberty wears ancient Greek-style clothing, and the crown she wears has seven pointed lights that symbolize the seven continents and four oceans in the world.The wrought iron interior of the statue was designed by Gustave Eiffel, who later built the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The base of the Statue of Liberty is a hall, which was turned into an immigration museum in 1972.There is a movie theater in the museum, which shows films about the life of early immigrants in the United States for tourists.

"Did Chinese immigrants come here before?" Li Wenxiu asked Wang Lin.

"Of course." Wang Lin said, "The first Chinese immigrated to the United States was in 1785, which is the 50th year of Qianlong."

Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "So early?"

Wang Lindao: "When we read the story of Qianlong, it feels like it came from a very distant ancient time, but when we listen to the story of Washington, it feels like a modern person. In fact, these two people died in the same year."

They came to the beach and looked at the sea.

On the sea, a sea vessel sailed into Upper New York Bay, and the first thing they saw was this huge statue.Some tourists waved to this side, and some tourists were taking pictures.

In the distance, a seagoing ship left the port, some of the passengers waved to this side, and some waved goodbye.

There is no doubt that the Statue of Liberty has become a major sight for ships entering and leaving New York Harbor.

Many tourists came here, many of whom were Chinese. Listening to the familiar dialect, Wang Lin and the others felt very cordial.

In the afternoon, I went to see the bridge. In fact, this bridge is not as majestic as the Golden Gate Bridge, and there is nothing to see.

Before going, Zhou Jun was thinking about it, and he felt normal when he got there.

Many tourist attractions are very good when listening to other people talking about them, so you must take the time to visit them.

In fact, when we arrived at the place, the feeling was normal.

On the way back, everyone said they were going to eat Chinese food in Chinatown.

Of course Wang Lin agreed.

When they got to Chinatown, they found a Chinese restaurant that looked upscale.

As soon as he entered, Wang Lin saw an acquaintance.

Zhang Jingfang!
Wearing the clothes of a waiter, she greeted her with a smile: "Hello!"

"Zhang Jingfang!" Li Wenxiu laughed, "Have you found a job here?"

"En!" Zhang Jingfang nodded, "Come on, please, there are boxes inside."

She guided Wang Lin and the others to the private room, asked them to sit down, and took the menu to order for Wang Lin.

Li Wenxiu asked, "Is the salary high?"

Zhang Jingfang said: "I'm still in the internship period, 600 yuan a month."

Li Wenxiu said: "So low?"

Zhang Jingfang said helplessly: "I just came here, and I don't have much money on me. I have to find a job as soon as possible, otherwise I will starve to death. Fortunately, I don't need to spend extra money here. Three months You can become a full-time employee in the future, and your salary will increase to 1000 yuan."

Li Wenxiu said: "It's okay too! Have you contacted your family yet?"

Zhang Jingfang said: "On the day I came here, I made a phone call. I dare not make frequent calls. Overseas calls are so expensive!"

Wang Lin ordered a good meal.

Zhang Jingfang smiled and said, "I really envy you guys. You eat big meals every day. What do you do in China? Are you particularly rich?"

Wang Lindao: "It's just so-so. It's just that the poor have a rich life, and they are willing to spend money outside."

Zhang Jingfang smiled, turned and left.

Li Wenxiu said: "This job is also easy to find!"

Wang Lindao: "The hardest job at the bottom is of course easy to find."

Li Wenxiu said: "She's a waiter, so it's okay, at least she doesn't have to wash the dishes."

Halfway through the meal, Li Wenxiu got up and went to the bathroom. When she came back, she whispered to Wang Lin, "Guess what I saw?"

Wang Lin was stunned: "What? The back kitchen is not clean?"

Li Wenxiu suppressed her voice and said, "That Zhang Jingfang is not clean."

Wang Lin asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean?"

Li Wenxiu said: "I saw that she was indistinct with a middle-aged man."

"Oh?" Wang Lin said calmly, "It's not a big deal."

Li Wenxiu said: "That man, the one sitting at the front desk when we came in, is probably the owner of the restaurant. Do you think she did it voluntarily? Should we ask her?"

Wang Lin pondered slightly, and said, "Don't worry about her, she is really going to be wronged, won't she leave?"

Li Wenxiu was kind-hearted, always thought that women must suffer when it comes to matters between men and women, and said: "I'm afraid that she will be deceived by someone who is new here."

Wang Lindao: "You think too much. Do you think she is a woman who is easy to bully? After three months of marriage, she dares to let her husband sell the house and send her to go abroad! If one day, she hooks up this restaurant owner and cheats her It wouldn't surprise me at all to leave him for hundreds of thousands."

Li Wenxiu was inexplicably shocked.

Wang Lindao: "You are kind, but don't think that other people are as kind as you."

Li Wenxiu remained silent.

When he checked out and left, Wang Lin saw that Zhang Jingfang was indeed flirting with the owner of the restaurant. It could be seen that the man had already followed Zhang Jingfang's way.Maybe it won't be long before Zhang Jingfang's salary will rise steadily.

In the evening, Wang Lin and the others came to see the preliminary round of the modeling contest.

Of course the preliminaries were not as good as the finals.

But the scene was also packed with spectators, and it was very lively.

Wang Lin mainly came to see Bai Lan's catwalk.

Just as they were getting excited, there was a fierce quarrel from the backstage.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people fought chaotically, from the backstage to the outside.

Wang Lin and the others were standing near the backstage, watching a black girl and a white girl wrestle together, some others were trying to persuade the fight, and some were helping the fight.

That black girl was tall and strong. She grabbed Baimei's hair and slapped Baimei non-stop.Baimei cried and cried.

The scene was suddenly chaotic.

The models who are walking the show on the stage are concerned about their own achievements, turn a blind eye to what happened off the stage, and insist on finishing the show.

Bai Lan and the others were supposed to come out later, but they didn't come out.

Wang Lin was not interested in fighting, what he cared about was whether Bai Lan was also involved in it?Was it beaten?

He wanted to go backstage, but he couldn't walk at all. The door of the backstage was blocked by two groups of models fighting. Everyone was in anger. They just wanted to beat each other to vent their anger, so they didn't care about the competition. order?
The staff and security rushed over, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, they first pulled the fighting crowd away.

Under the intervention of the security guards, the two groups of people who were fighting were forcibly pulled apart.

When the black girl was pulled away, she was pulling a bunch of blond hair in her hands, and she kept kicking towards the white girl with both feet.

Baimei was seriously injured, her hair was disheveled, and her catwalk clothes were torn to pieces.

The management of the organizer came over and asked the reason for the incident.

It turned out that it was because of the scrambling.

Originally, the black girl's team came on stage first, but because a model in their team had a problem and had to change their clothes temporarily, the white girl's team went first.

However, just as the White Girls team was about to play, the outfits of the Black Girls' team were delivered and the change was completed in time.

The members of the Black Girls team were tidied up, so naturally they were unwilling to give way, they had to go on stage first, saying that their team was the first to go on stage.

The Baimei team disagreed, and the two sides first verbally abused and quarreled, and then started to fight, resulting in a bloody conflict.

Wang Lin thought, so Bai Lan is also in the Baimei team?

Why don't you see her people?

The organizer made a rough decision to disqualify the two teams.

As a result, the crowd became angry, and the models all pointed their finger at the organizer.

Wang Lin saw Bai Lan walking out.

"President Wang!" Bai Lan came to Wang Lin and said, "I didn't participate in the fight!"

Wang Lin nodded: "I know. But the organizer wants to disqualify your two teams from the competition."

Bai Lan suddenly became anxious. She was afraid of being disqualified, so she didn't participate in the fight, but now she will be implicated.

Isn't it an innocent disaster?
"Mr. Wang, what should I do? I came here with great difficulty. I spent so much time and thought, and you also spent so much money. If I can't even get on stage, wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted?" Bai Lan As he spoke, he couldn't help crying.

Li Wenxiu and others also complained for her.

Wang Lindao: "Don't worry, I'll talk to them."

He stepped forward and communicated with the organizers.

The organizer was obviously very angry. Such a bad thing happened during the preliminary competition, which seriously affected the reputation of the entire competition.

At first, they couldn't listen to Wang Lin's words at all.

The brains of Westerners are like axes and tendons. Since the two teams of models are fighting each other, the two teams will be disqualified from the competition, and there is no room for negotiation.

Wang Lin said: "We are from a big country in the East, and we don't know any of the contestants. This group is also randomly assigned by your organizer, and it is not our choice. Before today, we didn't know what kind of people the other players were. , they fight, it has nothing to do with my model, and my model did not participate in it. If you disqualify her, it is an unfair and unjust sentence. Whoever made the mistake will be held accountable, why should Affect everyone?"

The organizers looked at Wang Lin and then at Bai Lan, saying that they would conduct an investigation, but until the results came out, Bai Lan was still not allowed to participate in the competition.

Are you kidding me?
When the results of their investigation come out, I'm afraid the competition will be over!
Even if Bai Lan is said to be innocent at that time, it will not help.

Wang Lin argued hard, asking them to investigate and understand on the spot, and give Bai Lan the qualification to continue participating.

The scene is getting more and more chaotic!
The local police also came, and for a while, the chickens were flying like dogs.

The reason why the organizers made a one-size-fits-all plan was to cut through the mess quickly, deal with the accident as soon as possible, and then resume the game, but the development of the situation on the scene was a mess that they didn't expect.

The models are still verbally attacking each other.

Three women in one play, not to mention that this matter involves more than a dozen women!

Each model has assistants or agents around them, and these people also get involved, pouring dirty water on each other and exonerating their own side.

Everyone disobeyed the organizer's judgment, saying that the mistake was caused by the other party and that they should not be dismissed.

At this time, Deng Lijun came over and communicated with the person in charge of the organizer: "It's your fault, but the model has to pay the bill."

The person in charge looked at the person in front of him in surprise, he had obviously recognized Deng Lijun.

The news that Deng Lijun is going to hold a concert in New York has spread all over the five districts, and the major media are full of Deng Lijun's photos and news.

Even "Time" magazine plans to put Deng Lijun as the cover character of the next issue.

As early as 1986, Sister Deng was selected by "Time" magazine as the world's seven most popular female singers and the world's top ten most popular female singers. She is the only Asian singer who has won two awards at the same time, which is not easy.

It's just that in these years, Sister Deng didn't come to the United States to develop, nor did she come here to hold a concert, so she didn't appear on the cover of Time Magazine, but this is nothing to regret.

Now because of Wang Lin's arrival, everything has changed.

It is only a matter of time before Deng Lijun appears on the cover of Times.

Also in the entertainment industry, it is not news that the person in charge of the modeling competition knows Deng Lijun.

"You are Ms. Deng Lijun?" The person in charge looked at her in surprise and forgot about the business, "I am your fan, can I ask you for an autograph? I bought all your CDs at home!"

With a smile on her face, Deng Lijun said elegantly and calmly: "It's ok, we'll talk about this later. The most urgent issue now is to deal with this conflict."

The person in charge made two oh-oh-oh, and then got back to the topic: "Miss Deng, you just said that it was our fault?"

Deng Lijun said: "Isn't it? You arranged the order of the models' catwalks, right? You didn't arrange it well, which led to their conflict. Each of them worked so hard to come to this event. They have already paid a lot of time and money for today's competition, how can you let them retire when they are about to take the stage?"

The cameras of all the reporters in the audience were all aimed at Deng Lijun.

Deng Lijun said: "If this matter is not handled well, all the news tomorrow will blame you. Can this model competition continue in the future? It must be a problem."

The person in charge fell silent.

Deng Lijun said: "The best thing you can do now is to let the models get ready to go on stage. At the same time, you have to apologize to the models and the audience. Only in this way can you minimize the loss and restore the reputation of the competition."

Wang Lin secretly applauded Deng Lijun.

These words are extremely fair and just!
Only Deng Lijun has such a great influence, and what she says has weight and can be accepted by others.

The organizer's management discussed it hastily, and finally accepted Deng Lijun's suggestion.

The models cheered.

Bai Lan wept with joy, and couldn't help hugging Wang Lin beside her.
