most charming

In Lin Tao's impression, the United States is a country that people love and hate. Many people boast about its so-called democracy and freedom, and wish they could immediately leave their current status and become a real American citizen.And some people hate its so-called democracy and freedom, calling it hypocritical democracy and freedom, and even the whole country is serving financial consortiums, so where is real democracy and freedom!

But none of this will affect Lin Tao. He has his own ideas, especially on democracy and freedom.

When Lin Tao first arrived in the United States, he encountered very unpleasant things. Could it be that he looks so badass?Otherwise, why do others ignore you when you pass the customs, but just intercept yourself, take you to the room for various inspections, and even open the suitcase for various inspections. Is there any human rights?

Well, human rights are just a talk. Lin Tao could only bear with it, and he acted quite cooperatively. He had both feet on the American territory. If he was refused entry again, it would be unreasonable.

The two white policemen seemed to be very interested in Lin Tao. They had already finished the inspection, but they refused to let him go, saying that more professional people would come over later.

Lin Tao's head suddenly became dizzy. Could it be the legendary CIA? If it's related to secret agents, isn't it the department that appears in American dramas?

The two policemen obviously wanted to delay time, and even gave very bad reasons. Lin Tao was not so easy to bully, so he immediately questioned him loudly.

The two policemen also knew that they were in the wrong, but they could not disobey the order if the request from above was intercepted, so even if Lin Tao had a bad attitude, they could not say anything.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. The door of the room opened, and two men in black trench coats walked in. They were both about 1.8 meters tall, one white and one black.Behind the two, Sarah also walked in, and behind her, there was a small Asian.

"Hello, you can call me Joe, cia!" The white man named Joe took out a ID and shook it. Anyway, Lin Tao couldn't understand it, and he wouldn't give unnecessary explanations on this matter.

Lin Tao just nodded calmly, without saying a word, expressing his protest with silence.

Joe rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and took the initiative to explain: "I'm very sorry, the system has misunderstood your identity. You look a bit like a prisoner on our blacklist, so..."

Lin Tao ignored his existence and turned to look at Sara. Sara said in Chinese: "No way, it is an obligation to cooperate with their work."

"Sorry, pretty lady, I hope you can speak English!" said the black cia agent, he seemed to have misunderstood that the two were communicating in Chinese about something they couldn't understand at all.

"Sorry, it's just that some words can't be explained clearly in English to a Chinese." Sara smiled apologetically, "This Mr. Lin Tao is a public figure in the Republic. The mainland will have a very bad impact on his reputation, so..."

White Joe immediately said: "You don't have to worry about this, it's just a routine inquiry, and there is no other intention."

"If there's nothing else, can we go?" Sarah asked.

"Of course, I'm very sorry for wasting your precious time." The wrong person was arrested, and even CIA was also wronged. Naturally, his attitude was not too bad, and Joe even sent them out of the airport himself.

"It's bad luck!" Lin Tao looked up at the gray sky, curled his lips, "The air in the United States is not much better than that in China!" His tone was obviously complaining, which made Sarah giggle.

Ignoring Sara, Lin Tao turned his head and asked, "This is..."

"Hi, I'm Li Hui, a Chinese-American. You can also call me Mike in English." The small Asian man introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello, Lin Tao." Lin Tao shook hands with him, "Mike should be the most popular name in the United States just like Mary and John?" He smiled a little.

"According to the statistics, it's pretty much the same. In fact, it's mainly because my parents came here as part-time workers and qualified for a green card, so they got a green card naturally. I was born in the United States at that time, and I was originally an American citizen. , my parents have no relatives in the country, and they all took American citizenship, and then stayed in this strange but familiar country. A few years ago, my father passed away one after another, and I was left alone."

Li Hui knew him well, but Lin Tao made a joke and asked him to reveal his family background.

"I'm sorry, brother." Lin Tao deliberately imitated the American expression.

"In fact, I have been taught bilingually since I was a child. I am proficient in both Chinese and English. There is no need to use this method to stabilize me." Li Hui laughed.

"Mike owns the largest law firm on the west coast, which is one of the reasons why those two CIAs didn't speak ill of you." Sara explained, "He was still my classmate in Princeton, and of course, he was also my classmate. one of his suitors."

Li Hui blushed, and smiled embarrassingly: "Sarah, don't talk about such things. Among the people who pursued you back then, I was considered the worst. I never thought that you would have such a deep impression on me. If I know, I won’t chase you.”

Sara said: "At that time, your conditions were the worst, but now, among those who chased me, you should have the greatest achievement? What is this called? Hard work pays off. If not, I will reject you." , do you have this enterprising spirit of working hard?"

For her fierce pursuit, Li Hui smiled wryly, and could only say: "Yes, yes, this is all due to you!"

"Sara, didn't you graduate from Cambridge? Why did you go to Princeton again?" Lin Tao asked curiously.

"As an exchange student, I lived in Princeton for a year, and the food on the west coast is amazing!" Sara said with a smile, "Of course, my favorite now is the Republic, and there is no place that has more food than the Republic."

Lin Tao laughed and said, "You are a foodie!"

Li Hui also laughed and said, "I never expected that that heartthrob back then would become a foodie now! But your figure is still so good, no matter how much you eat, you won't gain weight!" He is also keeping pace with the times. The buzzwords are also very familiar, there is no obstacle in chatting.

"It's cold outside, let's get in the car!" Li Hui suggested.

"Okay, get in the car." When he arrived in the United States, Lin Tao was unfamiliar with the place, and apart from Sarah, he could only listen to Li Hui.

Lawyer is a very powerful profession in the United States, and his social status is also quite high. Li Huineng owns the largest law firm on the West Coast. From the eyes of ordinary Americans, he is the so-called upper class. figure.And he can still play jokes with Sara and confide in Lin Tao with a peaceful mind. I really don’t know whether it is the American education that taught him to respect every individual, or the Chinese education that made him respectful and humble. Low-key and restrained.

From the chat just now, it can be seen that Li Hui is very talkative and is good at handling various situations. Of course, he is a lawyer himself, so these may not be considered anything to him, and it can even be said to be instinct.However, this left a good impression on Lin Tao. After all, he came here to do business, so he must be more reliable in finding a lawyer. Now it seems that Li Hui fully meets the requirements.

Even though he owns such a large law firm, Li Hui only drives a BMW. Compared to the rich people in China who like to show off their wealth, he is really much more low-key.

"Let's go to the hotel first, set things up, and then I'll treat you to dinner!" Li Hui said enthusiastically.

"Of course you please, I'm going to a Chinese restaurant, and I want to eat crab roe dumplings!" Sara exclaimed excitedly.

Lin Tao brushed his face with his palm, what a shame, there are so many delicious crab roe steamed buns in Shanghai, and she still eats them when she comes to the United States. Could it be that she can't get enough of them?

Li Hui laughed, and at the same time noticed Lin Tao's helplessness, he couldn't help asking: "Lin Tao, what do you want to eat?"

"Meat!" Lin Tao glanced at Sara and said angrily, "You've eaten enough water-filled pork, fake beef, and fake mutton in China, don't you want to eat some real meat?"

Sara curled her lips, obviously not agreeing with Lin Tao's statement, but she didn't fight back.

The way Li Hui looked at the two of them suddenly changed. As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but Sara is actually a little pepper. It is a rare opportunity to see her being refuted. The relationship between the two is very unusual.

But don't look at Li Hui's young age, because of his early independence, he has already become an instinct in dealing with people. Before the relationship is not familiar enough, he will definitely not joke about such things.

Sara booked the Hilton Hotel, which is in the bustling downtown area of ​​Los Angeles. Li Hui first helped the two check in, and then sent the salute back to their respective rooms, and then took them to a restaurant a few blocks away. Chinese food and Western food are also available.

The boss here is also Chinese, and most of the waiters are Asian, most of whom are Chinese, and there are also Korean and Japanese.

Li Hui seemed to know the boss very well, so he directly asked for a very good seat. The distance between the two tables next door was quite far, and there was a bonsai as a space between them.

Sara ordered crab roe steamed buns without hesitation. Li Hui ordered a few dishes with American characteristics, but most of them were cold. Lin Tao ordered medium-rare steak. He only wanted to eat meat now.

The waiter served the food very quickly, like flowing water. The crab roe steamed buns were very fragrant. The aroma alone was at least [-]% of the domestic level. Lin Tao was taken aback by the steak, good guy, enough It is as thick as two fingers, and this piece weighs more than two catties. The American steak is really bold, but the taste is a little bit worse. Fortunately, the meat quality is good, which can be regarded as making up for the lack of taste.

The three chatted while eating, and finally got to the point.
