One of the big differences between Min Congda and before time travel is that he is very confident now, the honeyed confidence that comes from a son of the system.
During these three months in the United States, Min Congda discovered that self-confidence is very important if you want to get along here.
The United States is a very cruel and highly competitive society. Everyone must be able to promote themselves, and self-confidence is the best stepping stone.
From the moment he accepted the system task, Min Congda has always been full of confidence. He dared to command a team and act recklessly in a field unfamiliar to him even if he did not speak fluent English.
After all, when your mission is to destroy rather than create and build, it's hard not to be confident as a person who was once mediocre and not very good at anything.
It's the same thing about picking up girls. When you try your best to pick up a girl and hold hands with her, you will be timid and think over and over again. You are afraid that you are not handsome enough, not rich enough, that the girl does not like you, and you are worried about picking up girls. What to do after getting started, whether to get married, whether to have a child, what will be the child’s name, where will the child go to school, what major will he study in the future...
By the time you think all this through, the girl will have been seduced by another boy a long time ago. Then you go to find out unwillingly. This boy is worse than you. He is not as tall as you, not as handsome as you, and not as good as you.
Why do girls want to be friendly with others? Because when you are thinking and hesitating, others are already chasing you. No matter whether you succeed or not, if you chase you, you will have a chance.
Don’t chase, unless you are Daniel Wu or DiCaprio, someone will take the initiative to follow you, otherwise just stay there and fantasize slowly, read novels and movies and go to YY.
Min Congda has learned a profound lesson from this. Although his past conditions were not good, they were not bad enough to be disgusted by others. If you put yourself into a relationship well, you can still get true love.
It's a pity that what hindered him was not fate, origin, or external appearance, but the countless hesitations in his heart.
This time, Min Congda got the idea. He saw the person he liked at a glance in the crowd. Without thinking too much, without fear of embarrassment or rejection, he picked up the empty wine glass and walked towards the group of young people.
"I've finished my wine. Can I have a drink with you? If you don't mind."
Before these young people could agree, Min Congda shamelessly squeezed into the booth, found a gap and sat down.
This group of young people was very friendly. Although Min Congda's arrival was a bit abrupt, they still accepted his joining and poured him a glass of whiskey.
Min Congda took a sip. He didn't like drinking whiskey very much. He always felt that it smelled like kerosene, and the taste was too smooth and greasy.
He prefers strong liquor with a rough taste, which can bring the pleasure of his head soaring to the sky.
But the purpose of his coming here was not to drink. After observing, there was only a white young man with blond broken hair between where he was sitting and the female Bodhisattva he was interested in. Could he be the male companion of the female Bodhisattva?
It's not like that, because although the two of them are sitting together, they are not close and keep a certain distance.
When Min Congda squeezed in, she moved to the side to avoid touching her golden hair, indicating that they were not lovers.
This was easier to handle. Min Congda endured the smell of kerosene from the whiskey and drank it in one gulp. "It's a great wine, but I still prefer rum or tequila. Open a bottle and it's mine."
So he ordered a bottle of rum, and Min Congda poured another one. He didn't hesitate and directly raised the glass to the girl he admired, saying: "To the brightest star in the bar tonight, you light up The dark night sky of Los Angeles guided me here.”
As soon as people become more confident, they start to know how to pronounce words. In the past few months, when Min Congda became the general manager, he really spoke in the same way.
Even if the girl is not interested in Min Congda, who can refuse such a straightforward compliment?
The girl raised the wine glass in front of her, poured some gin, and said, "I'm not a very good drinker. I'll drink a little. Thank you for your compliment."
The girl behaved appropriately, with a hint of cheerfulness in her reserve. She clinked glasses with Min Congda and drank the wine in one gulp.
When Min Congda looked at the girl up close, he realized that he had underestimated her beauty. He thought she was very beautiful, so he came over to meet her, but he didn't expect her to be so beautiful.
"It was so far away that the light was dark and I couldn't see clearly. I didn't expect it to be so beautiful up close. Wow, if I had known it was so beautiful, I might not have dared to come over and strike up a conversation."
Compared with her, the heroines she met in the ONLY bar were all vulgar fans. The small spark of confidence that Min Congda had accumulated was almost extinguished by this astonishing beauty.
He immediately poured a gulp of wine into his mouth, and the strong taste of rum made his self-confidence ignite again. He asked: "I am surprised by your beauty. What kind of group of friends can be friends with you? Can you introduce me to them?" For a moment?"
The girl nodded and introduced this group of young people. She didn't expect that they actually worked on the crew, but it was normal after thinking about it. This is Los Angeles, and there are a lot of people living in the film and television drama industry chain.
“We just finished shooting the movie, ‘Percy Jackson and the Divine Fire Thief,’ based on the best-selling novel. We started filming in New York, and went to Vancouver, Canada, the Las Vegas Strip, and the District of Columbia for filming. The final work was completed in San Francisco, and our filming tasks are over. Let’s come to Los Angeles to relax.”
"This is Ola, she's the makeup artist. This is Daisy, she's on set. This is Jimmy Williams, he's the sound guy, and this is Jack Abell, he's the show's One of the leading actors, playing Luke..."
The handsome boy with blond hair sitting next to the girl turned out to be an actor in this drama. Min Congda hurriedly asked: "It goes without saying that you must be the heroine of this drama. This movie will definitely be a hit! Because women If you are the starring role, I will buy a ticket to watch this movie if you blame me. The director and producer are really discerning and have chosen a movie that is guaranteed to be a box office success."
After saying this, Min Congda couldn't believe what he said. It was so flattering and fake.
A bright smile appeared on the girl's face. As expected, women need to boast without thinking, regardless of the content, just praise.
"I'm not a box office guarantee." She finally introduced herself: "My name is Alexandra Anna Daddario, I play Annabeth, but I don't know if my performance is good or not. ... I hope I won’t lose money so I can continue acting.”
After saying this, everyone laughed. "Percy Jackson" is a famous best-selling fantasy novel in the United States and is quite influential among teenagers across the United States.
20th Century Fox Pictures, which bought the rights, shot the first film of this IP series this year, hoping to make it a film series comparable to "Harry Potter."
This film is looking for young actors who are well-known but not very popular, just like the amateur actors in Harry Potter. If the movie becomes a hit, these actors will also become famous.
However, whether it is the influence of IP works or the investment and intensity of film production, "Percy Jackson" is far inferior to "Harry Potter".
Min Congda didn't understand these, and his thoughts were all on Daddario.
"Big Leo, what a good name, and it matches the person really well."
The gray tight-fitting shorts outlined Daddario's plump and perfect figure. When she raised her head to drink, she felt like she was about to come out.
"By the way, you haven't said what your job is? Are you a chef in Chinatown?" Daddario asked Min Congda.
Daddario started joking with Min Congda, indicating that he had a good impression of him.
Min Congda said: "I am not a chef in Chinatown, I am a chef in Staples. I can't cook, but I can form a team and play games."
Of course, I am a terrible team cook, Min Congda added silently in his mind.
Jack Abel, who had short blond hair, exclaimed in surprise: "Oh! You are that Smart! The general manager of the Clippers!"
Min Congda smiled slightly, yes, that's right.
"Are you Smart?" Daddario was also a little surprised, because in Los Angeles, this name has appeared quite frequently recently, and it has even become a bit popular.
"Of course it's me. If you have the opportunity to go to Staples to watch a game, I will save you the best ticket." Min Congda would not let go of such a good opportunity to be attentive.
Daddario's eyes flickered a little, and he said: "But I heard that you may be the worst general manager in the history of the NBA..."
Daddario spoke quickly, and everyone thought it would touch Min Congda's pain points and make the atmosphere awkward.
Unexpectedly, Min Congda burst into laughter and said: "Why do you say it's possible? I am the worst general manager in the history of the NBA. Letting a team disappear is my greatest ideal!"
Just when everyone didn't know whether Min Congda was being open-minded or joking, there was a sudden commotion in the bar, followed by the sounds of screaming and fighting. There was chaos in a corner of the bar, and someone was fighting!
"Bang!" The wine bottle smashed to the ground with a crisp sound, and the originally noisy but orderly nightclub immediately fell into chaos.
Min Congda and others were sitting in a corner that was not affected.
"There's a fight, watch the fun!"
Min Congda picked up his glass and stood up to watch the excitement, while looking for Randolph and Davis with his eyes.
After searching for a while he found it, they were fighting! Fighting against several big men of the same size and toughness!
"Damn it, I'm still watching the excitement, I'm going to become the excitement!"
"Stop fighting!"
