The daily life of American TV agents

Chapter 519 Ways to Get Luke to College

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

It's just strange that, for some reason, Claire insisted on coming to pick up the drawings by herself, especially after she knew that Ron would be staying at Caltech the next day.

"Hi! Ron."

"Hi! Claire, you know that sending blueprints 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 while Claire agreed absently, she glanced furtively over Ron's shoulder and looked back and forth behind him.

"What are you looking at, Claire?" Ron asked strangely.

Claire responded with a guilty conscience: "Uh... I'm looking at Sheldon. It's been a long time since she's grown up. The time is terrible, isn't it?"

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

"Come on, wouldn't there be a better reason for lying? Sheldon has been like this since she was 18 years old and matured. Don't worry, Alex will have no problems with me. Everyone loves her." Very good, especially Raj, who often teaches her hand in hand."

Ron thought Claire cared about his daughter, but he followed Claire's gaze.Only then did I realize that Claire's gaze was on Raj: "Wait, are you looking at Raj? Why are you interested in that Indian?"

"Sure enough, he is Raj!" Claire's eyes sparkled with excitement, "My God, my daughter is dating a foreign man who is ten years older than her!"

"What? You said they were in a relationship?!" Ron stood up in surprise, his eyes full of gossip.

"Recently, every time Alex came home, she would hold her mobile phone and laugh beside her. Whenever I pretended to approach, she immediately put away her mobile phone vigilantly. This is definitely a sign of love. , so I secretly logged into her Twitter account.

OMG, my nerdy daughter is finally in a relationship! "

Claire suppressed the joy in her heart, pretended to be indifferent, greeted her daughter with a smile through the glass window, and whispered to Ron.

Unlike the phenomenon of puppy love that is more repelled in China, European and American cultures are not particularly repelled by this situation, and even think that if you have not been in love until you go to college, it is very lonely behavior.

Of course, being happy is all about being happy, Claire would be a little bit worried about her daughter dating a foreign man who was ten years older than her, which made her mood more complicated.

In particular, when Ron was chatting with Claire, Raj in the lab said something to Alex for some reason, which made Alex laugh out loud. He rolled his eyes.

It's not just Claire, Ron's mood is also very complicated. On the one hand, his good friend and his eldest niece are falling in love right under his nose, and he doesn't know it at all.

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

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

"Rajesh Ramayana Kusapari, an Indian-born astrophysicist, one of Caltech's most outstanding talents, Sheldon's colleague, and my good friend," Ron said with a hint of a tough guy on his face. The aunt with an inappropriate image smiled: "Maybe for Alex, he is a good choice."

"Why do you say that?" I was happy for my daughter, but it was impossible for Claire to see her daughter, whom she had spoiled since she was a child, cuddling up with other men.

"Of course because I know Raj well enough that he's going to be a good man."

Ron swears that when he said this, he was absolutely in good conscience, and there was no possibility of being bribed by Raj's money offensive.

Although Raj did a lot of absurd things with Howard in the past, but still the same sentence, the moral standards of China and the United States are different. In China, people like Raj who think about sex every day and have threesomes with good friends It's the same, but in Europe and America, it's just like everyday food.

According to the universal values ​​of Americans, if you played wildly before you fell in love, as long as you are loyal to your partner after you are in a relationship, you are considered a good man.

Well, from this point of view, Ron himself is not a good man.

"Well, I hope you're right. After all, he's a university professor. He's better than Hailey's boyfriend, as long as he doesn't ask Alex to be a vegetarian with him."

"Don't worry, he's not even a vegetarian." Ron remembered that when he first met Raj, he ate steak every day, and couldn't help laughing: "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 be graduating from high school. With his grades, it is basically impossible to be admitted to college, but Mayfair and I feel that a life without college is an incomplete life. Is there anything you can do? For example Write a letter of recommendation for Luke or something."

Claire made a big deal out of his calculations. Ron is a well-known alumnus of Harvard University, and he often donates to famous schools such as Harvard and Caltech. The interview teacher's place 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 driver uttered the classic Toretto quote: "We are family!"

When Ron and Claire are discussing Luke's future, a group of old guys who seem to be very sharp are gathered in an old warehouse in Los Angeles.

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

These men who used to be the most powerful in the world, even though they are old now, still have strengths that cannot be underestimated. Some of them were even Ron's teachers. Without their careful teaching, Ron would have fallen down long ago. in a mission.

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

"You're dead, I won't die, old romantic, I just saw a young man who looks exactly like you on the street, did you bring your son?" Barney also punched Christmas chest.

"Damn it, do all handsome people have to be like me?"

"Hey, guys, if you want to reminisce about the old days, there is plenty of time later," the black Caesar walked between the two of them: "Barney, you brought us together again this time, what's the matter? Is there a new life?"

"Of course, someone wants us to go to a small island in Brazil called Vilanna. Someone is very interested in the resources there." Barney nodded: "According to the information given to me by that guy named Church, there are about 6000 people..."

Barney was just halfway through when he was suddenly interrupted by Yin Yang: "How many weapons do they have?"

"There are about 200 of them. It's 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 Yin Yang's little man and mocked, "Only four and a half people."

"It's not funny," Yin Yang glared at him, then looked at Barney: "I have to pay more this time."

"Why? Give me a reason."

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

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

"You didn't ask me."

"Listen, brothers, the proportion of the accounts remains the same. As before, I can't make an exception because of you, Yin and Yang, but this time the people are more generous. I think the final amount should satisfy you," Barney replied. With a sorry look, he continued:
"The target this time is a guy named Garza. I plan to investigate with Christmas to see if I want to take this job?"

"How much will they pay? My family is waiting for the money to be used urgently." Yin Yang was very uncooperative and interrupted him again.

"Damn it, 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, but Yin Yang's face still looks so young.

"Of course." Yin Yang nodded.

"Okay, after we succeed, everyone will get 50 yuan, are you satisfied?" Barney said helplessly, "Of course, if you're really in a hurry, you can go to Ron to borrow some money first. Said she did well in Los Angeles."

Yin Yang thought about it, and finally shook his head.

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

"Wait!" The last bald man who had been sitting next to him suddenly got up with his mobile phone: "I think you should read this before you leave."

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

"This girl looks good, you have a good eye, Turnpike." Christmas looked at Sophia's better figure on the phone screen, his eyes sparkled.

"No, this is not what I want you to see! It's this woman. She was born as a Brazilian politician. I heard that he has recently started contacting the rebel forces." The man code-named Toll Road shook his head angrily: " Villana Island is under the jurisdiction of Fortaleza City, I think it's a bit bad, guys, the soldiers under the rebels and warlords are not the same, I heard that they are all ruthless characters."

"Please, since we started doing this kind of work, how many people who claim to be ruthless have been killed? Most of them are vain, and we are the real ruthless characters!" Christmas said confidently: "Besides, I don't think This delicate beauty will take the initiative to send troops to occupy the small island controlled by the warlord, even if he sends, with the level of the Brazilians, we can retreat unscathed."

What Christmas said may be a bit arrogant, but everyone present didn't say anything. After all, in a country where the army can't even defeat the underworld, how much strength can the so-called ruthless rebels have?

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

In fact, it is not only the Brazilian drug dealers and Barney who misjudged the strength of the rebels, but also the CIA, the real behind-the-scenes manipulator who issued this mission.

"Ring Ling Ling ~"

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

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

"It's pretty bad. I didn't think so before, but now I realize that it's really rotten when I sit in this position!" Sophia complained dissatisfiedly: "Can you imagine? I drove to the village next to the city for a stroll. Go shopping, one-third of the land is planted with poppies!"

"Sounds good, only one-third of the drugs were planted. I remember that almost all the land there was growing drugs."

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

"What did you plant?"

"The remaining two-thirds of the land are all planted with avocados!" Sophia's voice trembled: "In order to grow these things, the gangsters have almost drained all the underground water! Now half the people in the city are Drinking Coke for a living! Can you imagine? Water here is more expensive than Coke!"

Water is more expensive than Coke. Ron has heard of this rumor, but he always thought it was a joke. Now that Sophia has confirmed it again, he can't help but frown.

"Because of drinking Coke, some of our three-year-old children here have started to get diabetes, and almost 40% of people over the age of [-] have lost the ability to work. Do you know how terrible this is?" Sophia's voice was filled with sobs: "Ron, you Must help me."
