Daily life of an American TV drama agent

Decorating the game room at home into an Internet cafe is a bit ridiculous, but after all, it is an Internet cafe in China, and this is the United States. This style of home decoration is actually not uncommon, so Ron did not raise any objections and was ready to hand over the drawings directly. Give Claire to help oversee the construction.

But the strange thing is that for some reason, Claire insisted on coming over to get the drawings, especially after she knew that Ron would stay at Caltech the next day.

"Hi! Ron."

"Hi! Claire, you know that sending the drawings is just a matter of sending an email. I don't understand why you have to make another trip."

Ron raised his hand to greet Claire, and Claire agreed absentmindedly while looking furtively over Ron's shoulder and back and forth behind him.

"What are you looking at? Claire?" Ron asked curiously.

Claire responded guiltily: "Uh... I'm looking at Sheldon. It's been a long time since I last saw her. She's grown so big. Time is really scary, isn't it?"

This is the laboratory of Caltech. Behind Ron, a team of scientists headed by Sheldon and their intern assistant Alex are conducting experiments on battery modification.

"Please, can't you find a better reason for lying? Sheldon has been like this since he matured at the age of 18. Don't worry, Alex won't have any problems with me. Everyone treats her well. It’s very good, especially Raj, who always teaches her step by step.”

Ron thought Claire cared about her daughter, but followed Claire's gaze. Only then did she realize that Claire's eyes were actually on Raj: "Wait, are you looking at Raj? Why are you interested in that Indian?"

"Sure enough, he is Raj!" Claire's eyes flashed with excitement: "Oh my God, my daughter is actually in a relationship with a foreign man who is more than ten years older than her!"

"What? You said they are in love?!" Ron stood up in surprise, his eyes full of gossip.

"Recently, every time Alex comes home, she will be holding her phone and laughing next to her. Whenever I pretend to approach, she immediately puts her phone away vigilantly. This is definitely a sign of love. , so I secretly logged into her Twitter account.

OMG, my nerdy daughter is finally in love! "

Claire suppressed the joy in her heart and pretended to be calm, smiling and saying hello to her daughter through the glass window, while whispering to Ron.

Unlike China, which is more repulsive about puppy love, European and American cultures are not particularly repulsive to this situation. They even think that if you haven't been in love by the time you go to college, it is a very withdrawn behavior.

Of course, as happy as she is happy, Claire is always a little worried about her daughter falling in love with a foreign man who is more than ten years older than herself, which makes her mood more complicated.

In particular, when Ron was chatting with Claire, Raj in the laboratory said something to Alex, which made Alex laugh. Rolled his eyes.

Not only Claire, but Ron's mood was also very complicated. On one side was his good friend, and on the other side was his eldest niece, falling in love right under his nose, and he didn't even know about it.

Of course, it's also possible that they did a good job of keeping it secret. Not only Ron didn't know, but it seemed like the other three people in the lab didn't know either.

"Is that Raj a teacher in this school? It seems that he has a good relationship with you. Can you tell me more about this person? Where is he from?"

"Rajesh Ramayana Kuthapalli, an Indian-born astrophysicist, one of the most outstanding geniuses at Caltech, Sheldon's colleague, and my good friend," Ron said with a trace of his tough guy look on his face. The aunt whose image did not match her smile said: "Maybe he is a good choice for Alex."

"Why do you say that?" She was happy for her daughter, but seeing her daughter, whom she had loved since childhood, snuggling up with other men with her own eyes, Claire said in her heart that it didn't taste good at all, and that was completely impossible.

"Of course because I know Raj well enough and he will be a good man."

Ron swore that he was speaking out of conscience when he said this, and there was no possibility of being bribed by Raj's money offensive.

Although Raj and Howard did a lot of ridiculous things together in the past, as I said before, the moral standards of China and the United States are different. In China, people like Raj think about hooking up and having threesomes with their good friends every day. It’s not the same thing, but here in Europe and the United States, it’s just as commonplace.

According to the universal values ​​of Americans, no matter how wild you are before you fall in love, as long as you are loyal to your partner after the relationship is established, you are considered a good man.

Well, from this perspective, Ron himself is not a good man.

"Well, I hope you are right. After all, he is a university professor. He is much better than Hailey's boyfriend in any case, as long as he doesn't ask Alex to become a vegetarian with him."

"Don't worry, he's not even very vegetarian himself." Ron thought about the way he ate steak every day when he first met Raj, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You came all the way here just to see Alex’s new boyfriend?”

Claire shook her head: "Of course not, there is one more thing."

"I knew it." Ron rolled his eyes.

"In one year, Luke will graduate from high school. With his grades, it is basically impossible for him to get into college. However, both Mayfair and I feel that life without going to college is an incomplete life. Do you have any ideas? For example, Write a letter of recommendation for Luke or something.”

Claire’s calculations were astonishing. Ron is a well-known alumnus of Harvard University and often donates to prestigious schools such as Harvard and Caltech. Under the alumni recommendation system of American universities, a letter of recommendation from Ron will be included in the university’s When it comes to interviewing teachers, the weight is definitely not light.

Ron thought for a while and nodded: "It's okay for me to write him a letter of recommendation, but the question is what Luke plans to do in the future? I suggest you talk to him after you go back and see what he thinks?"

"Are you willing to help?" Claire was overjoyed.

"Of course, why not?" the tire man said the classic Toretto saying: "We are family!"

When Ron and Claire were discussing Luke's future, a group of very tough-looking old guys gathered in an old warehouse in Los Angeles.

If Ron were here, he would definitely call out their names right away: Barney Ross, Christmas, Yin Yang, Thor...

These were once the strongest men in the world, even though they are old now, they still have strength that cannot be underestimated. Some of them were even Ron's teachers. Without their careful teaching, Ron would have fallen to the ground a long time ago. during a certain mission.

"You old guy, you're not dead yet. I heard that you've been pretending to be a boxer recently and bullying the kids." As soon as they met, someone punched Barney in the chest. This was how the old brothers greeted each other. The way.

"Even if you die, I won't die, old romantic ghost. I just saw a young man who looks exactly like you on the street. Did you bring your son with you?" Barney also punched him. Christmas chest.

"Hell, do all handsome people have to look like me?"

"Hey guys, if you want to catch up on old times, there's plenty of time in the future." Black Caesar walked between the two people: "Barney, you brought us together again this time. What's the matter? Do you have a new job?"

"Of course, someone wants us to go to a small island in Brazil called Villana. Someone is very interested in the resources there." Barney nodded: "According to the information that guy named Church gave me, there are about 6,000 people…”

Barney was mid-sentence when he was suddenly interrupted by Yin Yang: "How many weapons do they have?"

"There are about 200 of them. This number of people is enough to control such a large island, isn't it?" Barney said.

"Yes, there are 200 of them. How many of us are there?" The black Caesar looked at the small Yin Yang and mocked: "Only four and a half people."

"This is not funny," Yin Yang glared at him and looked at Barney: "You have to give me more money this time."

"Why? Give me a reason."

"I want to make money for my son, and I want to send him to a better school."

"When did you get married? I don't even know." Barney asked in a surprised tone.

"You didn't ask me."

"Listen brothers, the proportion of the account sharing remains the same as before. I can't make an exception because of you, Yin Yang, but this time people are more generous. I think the final amount received should satisfy you," Barney replied With an apologetic look, he continued:

"The target this time is a guy named Garza. I plan to go with Christmas to do some reconnaissance to see if I want to take this job?"

"How much money did they pay? I need the money urgently at home." Yin Yang was very uncooperative and interrupted him again.

"Hell, do you really have a family?" Barney still thinks that Yin Yang is joking with him. Although they have indeed worked together for a long time, Yin Yang's face still looks so young.

"Of course." Yin Yang nodded.

"Okay, after we succeed, everyone can get 500,000. Are you satisfied?" Barney said helplessly: "Of course, if you are really anxious for money, you can go to Ron to borrow some first. I listen. Said she was doing well in Los Angeles."

Yin Yang thought for a while and finally shook his head.

"OK, if there are no other problems, Christmas and I will go to investigate first."

"Wait!" The last bald man who had been sitting next to him suddenly stood up with his mobile phone and said, "I think you should take a look at this before you set off."

"In the latest round of elections, newcomer politician Sofia was successfully elected as the mayor of Fortaleza. What changes will she bring to this region? Let us wait and see..."

"This girl looks good. You have great vision, Turnpike." Christmas looked at Sophia's better figure on the phone screen, her eyes shining.

"No, that's not what I want you to see! It's this woman. She is a Brazilian politician. I heard before that he has recently begun to contact the rebel forces." The man code-named Toll Road shook his head angrily: " Velana Island is under the jurisdiction of the city of Fortaleza, I feel a little bad, guys, the rebels and the soldiers under the warlords are different, I heard that they are all ruthless characters."

"Please, how many so-called ruthless people have been killed since we started doing this kind of work? Most of them are just fake, we are the real ruthless people!" Christmas said confidently: "Besides, I don't think so. This petite beauty will take the initiative to send troops to occupy the small island controlled by the warlord. Even if he does, with the level of the Brazilians, we can escape unscathed."

Christmas' words may have been a bit arrogant, but everyone present said nothing. After all, in a country where the army can't even defeat the underworld, how powerful can the so-called ruthless resistance army be?

After all, they are too old. Although they have continued to pay attention to the international situation as mercenaries, their understanding of the emerging resistance in Brazil is very limited. This is not their fault.

In fact, it was not just the Brazilian drug traffickers and Barney who misjudged the strength of the resistance, but also the CIA, the real mastermind behind the mission.

"Ling ring ring~"

Ron glanced at the number, answered the phone and smiled happily: "Congratulations, Sophia, I knew you could do it, but I didn't expect you to be so fast. How does it feel to be the mayor?"

Yes, this Sophia is the diplomat's daughter Sophia who was protected by Ron before.

"It's quite bad. I didn't think it before. Now when I actually sat in this seat, I realized that this place is absolutely terrible!" Sofia complained dissatisfiedly: "Can you imagine? I drove to a village next to the city. Take a look around, one-third of the land is planted with poppies!”

"It sounds good. Only one-third of the drugs have been planted. I remember that almost all the land there was used to cultivate drugs."

"Not bad? Haha," Sophia sneered mockingly: "Then why don't you ask what the remaining two-thirds are growing?"

"What did you plant?"

"On the remaining two-thirds of the land, all avocados are grown!" Sofia's voice trembled angrily: "In order to grow these things, the gang has almost drained all the underground water! Now half of the people in the city are Living on Coke! Can you imagine? Water here is more expensive than Coke!"

Water is more expensive than Coke. Ron had heard this rumor before, but always thought it was a joke. Now that it was confirmed by Sofia again, he couldn't help but frown.

"Because of drinking Coca-Cola, some of our three-year-old children start to develop diabetes, and almost 80% of people over the age of 40 lose the ability to work. Do you know how terrible this is?" Sophia's voice had a hint of sob: "Ron, you You must help me.”
