V1.Chapter 1360

"Why don't I go?"

Ning Xue added, "when you are in trouble, only your compatriots can help you in a foreign country."

There's nothing wrong with that.

But Xia Xiaolan always thought that Ning Xue would not pay attention to these interpersonal relationships.

The flowers of kaolin are gregarious one day. Xia Xiaolan will be surprised.

"Sometimes on Saturday morning, if things go well, I can start at noon. What party do we need to prepare?"

Ning Xue knows more than Xia Xiaolan. She may have been in contact with the Chinese student groups here.

"The funds for the party are made up by the old people. The new couple can bring nothing, and can also bring some food by themselves. A pizza, a barbecue, or a bottle of wine and a few fruits are OK."

It's too complicated. It's not welcoming new people, but increasing the financial burden on new people.

Who has no money to study abroad now!

There should be no mess at the party that Ning Xue can attend. Xia Xiaolan also agreed to start with Ning Xue.

The two agreed on a time to meet.

Knowing that Xia Xiaolan was going to attend the international student party in New York, Professor Wen and Hu Ying did not object.

Is it good for a young girl in her early 20s to expect her not to play with her peers, not to go out to parties, and to read at home all day?

This is autism in the United States!

Only young people who are unpopular and have no friends will live like this.

"It's OK to know more people. Your teacher Mao and I met at a friend party. We didn't call a party at that time."

Professor Wen even supports it.

With the same cultural background and the same study experience, it is easy to meet like-minded friends.

Xia Xiaolan said to buy some food in the store and take it with her. Hu Ying also objected:

"For this kind of party, you'd better bake some cakes by yourself and bring them over."

Xia Xiaolan is really a hard cook and can only learn from Hu Ying.

She just started with Hu Ying. She already felt 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 and for my mother..."

Zhou Cheng laughed:

"Then practice your hands first. When you return home in the future, I must try your craft - that sentence was a joke. Don't take it seriously. If you can learn, you should give yourself a leave of mind, but don't burn your hands. It doesn't matter whether you learn to make cakes or not."

Professional things should be handed over to professional people.

Xia Xiaolan's major is building a house. Why must she learn to bake a cake?

If a person is omniscient, can this society develop? No, he has returned to the feudal society of self-sufficiency!

Xia Xiaolan went to the international student party, and Zhou Cheng didn't object.

Everyone needs to make friends. If he is afraid that Xia Xiaolan will be seduced, he will not approve of Xia Xiaolan going abroad for a year.

Xia Xiaolan has always been surrounded by excellent people. What Zhou Cheng has to do is not to catch flies, but to make himself better. He has only one request. I hope Xia Xiaolan can share the experience of the party with him when she comes back.

Zhou Cheng seems very interested in what these students who have gone from China to the United States are like.

Xia Xiaolan readily agreed.

"Don't worry, I went to New York last week. This time there is Ning Xue."

I haven't learned how to bake a cake yet. The private detective introduced by winmani has found Ithaca town.

The private detective introduced by winmani is a fat man.

It seems that people and animals are harmless. When Xia Xiaolan saw her, she was still trying to put things in her mouth. The doughnut was wrapped with a thick layer of chocolate sauce and drenched with a lot of maple sugar. The only thing Xia Xiaolan couldn't get used to after she came here was probably sweets.

The sweets in the United States are so sweet that Xia Xiaolan suspects that Americans are particularly insensitive to sweetness. They think delicious sweets are completely unacceptable to Xia Xiaolan.

This private detective, in Xia Xiaolan's opinion, is another patient with severe sweetness.

"Don't I look like a private detective?"

The other party stuffed the doughnut and spoke a little vaguely: "what kind of detective do you think, Sherlock Holmes?"

Xia Xiaolan nodded. She didn't have to be as classic as Holmes. Wearing a windbreaker and being lean, tall and thin seemed to be a necessary entry condition. She was brainwashed by later film and television works.

Tall and handsome, why do you want to be a private detective!

"What should I call you?"

"Jim, I'm sorry to spoil your fantasy of a private detective, but I'm the best in the business. You can't find a better private detective in New York. Let's talk about business. The person you're looking for, tell me everything. The more detailed, the better! "

Fat and thin have no effect on being a detective.

Isn't the tall, thin, sneaky guy in a windbreaker more noticed?

Instead, people don't deliberately pay attention to fat people. Fat people like Jim are everywhere in the United States. It's normal for him to appear everywhere!

Xia Xiaolan gave the information to Jim. If she couldn't find it by conventional means, she would check whether the antiques brought back by Xu Zhongyi from Grandma Yu are now circulating in some specific collection markets.

This is the focus of Jim's investigation.

After hearing all the information, Jim didn't say whether it was difficult or not. He only told Xia Xiaolan two things: "first, you should be mentally prepared. A Chinese who came to the United States with a lot of property hasn't contacted his family for 20 years. It's likely that he has suffered an accident! But I am the best detective in New York. Even if a person has died, I will find out whether he has a death record and whether he still has a family living in the United States. Second, it's very expensive to ask me to do things. 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 prepared to spend money.

Everyone has his own way. Xia Xiaolan runs to San Francisco like a headless fly to find someone. It doesn't work at all.

"Ten thousand dollars. You can pay me 2000 dollars in advance. This is the investigation fee I need to go to San Francisco. If you find someone, you pay the rest! "

"Can't find it?"

"It's impossible that I can't find it... If I can't find it, I only charge $2000 for my hard work. You don't have to pay the rest!"

So Jim won't refund the $2000.

Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Mr. Jim, I appreciate your confidence, and I hope to pay you the balance as soon as possible."

This Jim dares to speak.

Ten thousand dollars?

It is not easy for most Americans to pull out such a large amount of cash.

This money can cover one year's tuition and living expenses of American College Students... If ordinary families can freely take out this money, there will not be so many people who want to borrow money to go to school!

But if the ten thousand dollars can find a son for grandma, Xia Xiaolan thinks it's worth thousands of dollars.
