"Why don't I go?"
Ning Xue added, "When you are in trouble, the only ones who can help you in a foreign country are your compatriots."
There is nothing wrong with saying this.
It's just that Xia Xiaolan always thought that Ning Xue would completely ignore these interpersonal interactions.
The flowers of Gaoling will have a day to get along with the group, Xia Xiaolan will naturally be surprised.
"I sometimes leave on Saturday morning. If things go well, I can leave at noon. What kind of party is this? Do we need to prepare anything?"
Ning Xue knows more than Xia Xiaolan, she may have been in touch with the Chinese student group here.
"The expenses for the party are all collected by the old people. The newcomers can bring nothing, or they can bring something to eat, such as a pizza, a barbecue, or a bottle of wine, and a few fruits."
If it is too complicated, it is not welcoming newcomers, but adding financial burden to newcomers.
Who doesn't know whether those who study abroad have money now!
There should be nothing messy about a party that Ning Xue can attend, and Xia Xiaolan also agreed to set off with Ning Xue.
The two agreed on a time to meet.
Knowing that Xia Xiaolan was going to New York to attend the gathering of foreign students, Professor Wen and Hu Ying did not object.
A young girl in her early 20s expects her not to play with her peers, not to go out to parties, and to stay at home and read all day. Is this good?
This is autism in America!
Only unpopular, friendless young people live like this.
"It's okay to get to know more people. You, Teacher Mao, and I met at a friend's gathering back then. We didn't call it a party back then."
Professor Wen was even supportive.
With the same cultural background and the same study abroad experience, it is easy to meet like-minded friends.
Xia Xiaolan said to buy some food at the store to take, but Hu Ying also objected:
"For this kind of party, it's best to bake some cakes yourself and bring them there."
Xia Xiaolan is a real cook, so she can only learn from Hu Ying.
She was just helping Hu Ying, and she already found it very troublesome. When Zhou Cheng called, she complained:
"Why should I make a cake for a group of strangers? Even if I do, it's for you, for my mother"
Zhou Cheng laughed when he heard that:
"Then you practice your hand first, and when you return to China in the future, I must try your handicraft - the sentence just now was a joke, don't take it seriously, learn if you can, just take a vacation for your brain, but don't take it If I burn my hands, it doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t learn how to make cakes.¡±
Professional matters should be left to professional people.
Xia Xiaolan's major is building houses, why must she learn how to bake cakes?
If a person is omniscient and omnipotent, can this society still develop, won't it return to a self-sufficient feudal society!
Zhou Cheng didn't object to Xia Xiaolan's going to the overseas student party.
Everyone needs to make friends. If he was afraid that someone would hook Xia Xiaolan away, he would not approve of Xia Xiaolan going abroad for a year.
Xia Xiaolan has always been surrounded by excellent people. What Zhou Cheng wants to do is not to chase away flies, but to make himself better. He only has one request. He hopes that Xia Xiaolan can share with him what he saw at the party when he comes back.
Zhou Cheng seemed very interested in what these students who went from Huaguo to the United States looked like.
Xia Xiaolan readily agreed.
"Don't worry, I went to New York last week, and this time I'm with Ning Xue."
Before learning how to bake cakes, the private detective introduced by Wen Manni has already found the town of Ithaca.
The private detective Wen Manni introduced was a fat man.
It looks harmless to humans and animals. When I saw Xia Xiaolan, she was still stuffing things into her mouth desperately. The donuts were covered with a thick layer of chocolate sauce and sprinkled with maple syrup. The only thing Xia Xiaolan couldn't get used to after she came here was probably sweets.
The sweets in the United States are really sweet. Xia Xiaolan suspects that Americans are particularly insensitive to sweetness. They think that delicious desserts are completely unacceptable to Xia Xiaolan.
In Xia Xiaolan's opinion, this private detective is another patient with severe sweetness.
"Do I not look like a private detective?"
The other party finished stuffing the donuts, and spoke a little vaguely: "What kind of detective do you think, like Sherlock Holmes?"
Xia Xiaolan nodded, she doesn't need to be as classic as Sherlock Holmes, wearing a windbreaker, being lean and thin seems to be a necessary entry condition, she was brainwashed by the film and television works of later generations.
He is tall and handsome, why can't he think about becoming a private detective!
"What should I call you?"
"Jim, I'm sorry to spoil your fantasy of a private eye, but I'm the best in the business, and you can't find a better private eye in New York. Let's get down to business, the man you're looking for, Tell me everything, the more details the better!"
Fat and thin have no effect on being a detective.
Wouldn't a tall, thin, sneaky guy in a trench coat attract more attention?
On the contrary, people will not deliberately pay attention to fat people. Fat people like Jim are everywhere in the United States, and it is normal for him to appear wherever he appears!
Xia Xiaolan gave the information to Jim. If the conventional means could not be found, she would check whether the antiques that Xu Zhongyi brought back from Grandma Yu are currently circulating in some specific collection markets.
This is the focus of Jim's investigation.
After listening to all the situation, Jim didn't say whether it was difficult or not. He only told Xia Xiaolan two things: "First, you have to be mentally prepared. A Chinese who came to the United States with a lot of money has not contacted his family for 20 years. Maybe something has happened to him! But I'm the best detective in New York, and even if someone is dead, I'll find his death record and if he has any family members living in the US. Second, it's very expensive to hire me , for Connie's sake, I can give you a 20% discount."
"Jim, you can say a price and see if I can accept it."
Xia Xiaolan was mentally prepared for the cost of money.
Snakes, rats and ants, everyone has their own way, Xia Xiaolan ran to San Francisco like a headless fly to find someone, it didn't work at all.
"10,000 dollars, you can pay me 2,000 dollars first, this is the investigation fee I need to go to San Francisco. If you find someone, you can pay the rest!"
"Can't find it?"
"Impossible not to find If I can't find it, I will only charge 2,000 US dollars of hard-earned money, and you don't have to pay the rest!"
Therefore, Jim will never return the $2,000.
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Mr. Jim, I appreciate your confidence, and I hope to pay you the final payment as soon as possible."
This Jim dared to speak.
$10,000?
It is not easy for most Americans to come up with such a large sum of cash.
This amount of money can cover the tuition and living expenses of American college students for one year If ordinary families can easily spend this amount of money, there will not be so many people who need loans to go to school!
But if this ten thousand dollars can find her son for Grandma Yu, Xia Xiaolan feels that it is worth a thousand dollars. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
