They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 604 Another surprise attack?

In February, it is still cold in most parts of the mainland, but the temperature in England has warmed up and it is considered early spring.

Unfortunately, it was either foggy or rainy, which made the temperature uncomfortable.

After knowing that Huo Mingjie was interested in going out to see the British customs, the crew even arranged a local person to serve as Huo Mingjie's temporary assistant and tour guide.

Looking up at the gray sky, this temporary assistant who was born in England actually smiled and said:
"It's such a nice day today. I believe you will have a pleasant trip today, Mr. Huo!"

Huo Mingjie raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. For a moment, he didn't know whether the temporary assistant was joking or the locals really thought that the weather was good today...

"Okay, Mr. Huo, where would you like to go? If you don't know where to go, please allow me to give you a little advice." The temporary assistant named Ian continued to ask.

His mission today is to let Huo Mingjie have fun.

He didn't know Huo Mingjie's true identity, but he was told to receive him seriously and warmly, so his attitude towards Huo Mingjie was very appropriate at this time.

He is enthusiastic but not too fawning, and it is quite comfortable to get along with him.

Huo Mingjie did not speak, but turned his head to look at the foreign girl who was following him and said:
"You should have made a strategy before, right?"

Miriam, who was dressed like a typical tourist with a camera hanging on her chest, looked at Huo Mingjie and hesitated for a moment before she said honestly:
"Boss, your travel invitation came so suddenly that I didn't even have time to make a plan..."

By the way, this foreign girl was originally brought by her agent to participate in the Bond girl audition, but she was unsuccessful.

As a result, she was helped by Huo Mingjie because of a chance encounter in the elevator and got a new opportunity, which was that she was prepared to play the heroine in "Time and Space Love Traveler" which was being prepared by Huo Mingjie!

Then she was thrust into the cast and landed a starring role in Skyfall.

He has very few scenes and is actually just a supporting role with a few lines.

If the crew had just found an actress in England to play the role, the salary they would have to pay might not be enough to cover the cost of sending Miriam over on the plane ticket.

Huo Mingjie had not originally planned to arrange it this way, but there are always people who want to "guess the intentions"!
Leon, who was originally responsible for finding a suitable actress, discovered that because of his carelessness, his rival Hamid had the bad luck to take advantage of the opportunity and helped the boss find Miriam who suited his taste.

Although there is no such straightforward expression as "pillow talk" here, "lady diplomacy" is actually something similar.

Even though Huo Mingjie hadn't done anything yet, Leon had already begun to show kindness to Miriam...

Huo Mingjie had just asked casually, but seeing that she was not prepared, he simply said to Ian, the temporary assistant and tour guide:
"Then you can arrange it!"

Ian responded with a smile, and then ordered the two-person "tour group" to set off.

At this moment, Miriam's agent arrived late with five or six people holding clothes and carrying makeup boxes.

When the agent saw the three people who were ready to set off, he paused for a moment and quickly looked at Miriam who was following behind Huo Mingjie.

When he saw her big backpack, sneakers, and windbreaker, which were convenient and comfortable but covered up her beautiful figure tightly, his face turned dark.

"Boss, please wait a moment. Miss Miriam may need to prepare again!" The Italian female agent named Bella took the initiative to speak.

Now, thanks to Miriam, he has joined the new MGM.

Compared to Miriam, who would just go back to the TV station and accept the invitation to be a host, this agent would rather develop in Hollywood.

She wants to make progress so much!

Miriam was still a little dazed, so her agent apologized to Huo Mingjie and pulled her back.

Seeing this, Huo Mingjie blinked, then turned to his temporary assistant Ian and said:
"It looks like we should wait a little longer than fifteen minutes."

"Oh, Mr. Huo, your grammar is very strict... But I think fifteen minutes may not be enough!" Ian joked.

Huo Mingjie laughed and said:
"maybe."

It turned out that interrupting the big boss's travel schedule was the most daring thing the agent could do.

She didn't dare let Huo Mingjie wait too long!
It didn't even take fifteen minutes, and Miriam, with a brand new look, appeared in front of Huo Mingjie.

A beige long coat and a white scarf, at first glance, seem to be an outfit that suits the temperature outside.

But if you look again, you will see that she is wearing a sweater under the coat that reveals her slender waist, a short skirt, stockings and black suede high-heeled boots on the lower body.

It looks quite bright and fashionable, but it is still a typical "style over warmth" outfit.

I don’t know how the makeup artist that the agent found on short notice did it, but while applying delicate makeup to her, he also managed to give Miriam, who originally had a ponytail, a pretty nice hairstyle in a short period of time.

Miriam, whose agent forced her to change her attire today, held on to the camera as a last resort.

As a travel enthusiast, she couldn't help feeling unhappy, because even though this outfit looked good, it was not suitable for traveling!

However, when her eyes swept over to Huo Mingjie, the foreign girl was not so resistant anymore. Instead, she began to observe Huo Mingjie's expression.

Seeing this, Ian was the first to speak with a smile:

"This kind of outfit is indeed suitable for travel photography, but this may require a slight change in the itinerary... I have thought of a great activity, but we need to go now!"

This guy is quite good at talking, no wonder they arranged him to be Huo Mingjie's temporary assistant.

It’s suitable for taking photos, but if you go out like this, you’ll probably catch a cold in no time!
Huo Mingjie smiled at Miriam and praised her:

"It's really beautiful, let's go!"

The foreign girl, who received Huo Mingjie's praise, finally felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

The three of them finally officially left the hotel and started today's journey.

As for the activity that Ian just mentioned, Huo Mingjie originally thought it was some kind of celebration held in the Fog City.

However, as the car started moving, Huo Mingjie suddenly frowned.

Because at this time, some things that Huo Mingjie was very familiar with began to gradually appear on the street.

Red decorations such as Chinese knots, spring couplets and lanterns appear in shops on both sides of the street, looking very festive.

"I heard that the Spring Festival is a very important festival for the Chinese people. There will be an event in Chinatown today. I thought Mr. Huo would be willing to come..."

"Well, Miss Miriam would probably be interested too. We can go and look around the shops in Chinatown."

Hearing Ian's words, Huo Mingjie also reacted. Today is New Year's Eve! Filming in England, Huo Mingjie almost forgot about it in his daily life...

You know what, this foreign guy named Ian is quite smart.

Huo Mingjie is a Chinese. He is far away from home and it is the most important festival, the Spring Festival. He would definitely like to go to Chinatown and stay with his compatriots.

Miriam, who is dressed fashionably but not warmly, probably doesn't want to hang out outside for too long in this weather.

Talent!
Huo Mingjie looked at Ian with some appreciation, and then said with interest:

"I'm really interested. You've thought this through very carefully!"

In fact, in the past two years, some people in the mainland have begun to complain that the Chinese New Year is becoming less and less interesting.

There are many factors that have contributed to the fading of the festive atmosphere of the New Year, but I will not elaborate on them here.

However, in England, because everyone is far away from home and is homesick, there are many more activities, and it seems to be full of the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

At first, it was organized by overseas Chinese themselves, but after the millennium, there was official participation and "Happy Chinese New Year" activities were launched in many countries.

In fact, this thing is also a cultural export, don’t look down on it!

The effect is not too obvious now and the influence is not great. At most, it is held in Chinatown, or some event is held in a random shopping mall to attract some people nearby to participate.

But as the country becomes stronger in the future, its influence will naturally increase.

Similar activities are becoming more and more grand.

About ten years later, the British Isles even organized a grand overseas Spring Festival event with more than 700,000 people participating.

No matter how often those politicians like to put the blame on us, they have to give a speech when they encounter a Spring Festival event attended by hundreds of thousands of people.

And if our "Spring Festival" had not become a good thing and many people around the world knew about it, the Korean country would not have wanted to cry and scream everywhere, blur the concept, and try to steal it back bit by bit...

Today, the influence of Chinatown’s Spring Festival activities is limited to these nearby streets, but it is already quite lively.

There are special people to organize and arrange the performances, and dragon and lion dance teams and flower drum teams are specially invited from the mainland.

You can also see a group of foreigners aged 11 or 12, wearing flowery cotton jackets that are in the style of mainland aunties, jumping and marching to the rhythm of square dancing, which is quite funny.

In the middle there are two Scottish organ performance teams, which is a combination of Chinese and Western elements, and is appealing to both the elite and the masses.

Huo Mingjie rarely sees such lively scenes when he is in the mainland.

Miriam beside her was also quite interested and raised her camera to take pictures from time to time.

Looking at the many Chinese people on the street, they are no longer as reserved and calm as before. They smile, bow and congratulate everyone they see, regardless of whether they know them or not. The atmosphere is very good.

After all, the participants today are mostly local Chinese and overseas Chinese, and quite a few of them know Huo Mingjie.

So when he got off the car just now, Huo Mingjie wore a mask. But even though he was dressed in a low-key manner, his handsome features still made passers-by take a few more glances.

Miriam, who is tall and fashionable next to him, has an appearance that is very consistent with the Chinese aesthetic.

It's hard not to take a second look at this combination of handsome men and beautiful women.

In such a festive atmosphere, while paying their respects to the two, passers-by would also wish them a Happy New Year.

As they walked along, the two received many congratulations and kindness from strangers.

Miriam, who was enjoying the festive atmosphere, even said to Huo Mingjie:

"For those who are far away from home, perhaps only in the atmosphere of a show like today can they take off the masks of decency and politeness they usually wear."

Huo Mingjie turned his head and glanced at Miriam, and unexpectedly found some literary girl qualities in her.

But it's normal when you think about it. This foreign girl's father is a literature teacher and her mother is a government employee.

With such a family background, you will inevitably have some of this kind of hair!

You know what, this somewhat lazy personality, coupled with this occasional literary youth disease, is quite similar to a fairy girl...

At this time, just when Huo Mingjie was joining in the fun in Chinatown, at the Fog City Airport.

It can be said that the saying "Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear" is true. The beautiful girl who was supposed to spend the New Year in China showed up here with her assistant!
The assistant was holding a cell phone next to them, contacting someone to pick them up.

The little girl also held the phone, but she said coquettishly to the other end of the phone:
"I just came to see him. He is alone abroad for the holidays and can't go home. How pitiful..."

"It's okay, mom, don't worry. I'll be back in two days."

This time, he even ran to England, across the ocean, without making a sound. He was truly extremely daring!
"Don't worry, Huo Mingjie is right here. I'll just ask him to pick me up...Okay, my phone is out of battery, I'm hanging up!"

The little girl couldn't stand her mother's nagging anymore, so she simply found an excuse to hang up the phone.

As for whether I will be scolded when I get home?
Oh, let’s talk about it later…

Anyway, thinking that he was about to meet Huo Mingjie's little girl, he was in a very happy mood and decided to put these unhappy things behind him for the time being.

After hanging up the phone, the girl turned and looked at her assistant.

The assistant also hung up the phone and nodded at her:

"I've already asked. We're staying at the Bulgari Hotel. The people at Green Shade told us to wait at the airport for a while and someone will be here to pick us up soon!"

Hearing the assistant's words, the little girl couldn't help but shook her head and said with regret:

"Oh, if this happens, Huo Mingjie will definitely know that I'm here immediately, and I can't give him a surprise..."

This kind of surprise attack is her specialty.

The only difference was that unlike the previous two times, she saw some gossip and felt a sense of crisis, so she rushed over to "check on him".

This time, the fairy girl really knew that Huo Mingjie could not go home for the New Year this year. She felt sorry for him being "alone and helpless" outside, so she thought of coming to see him.

She didn't know anyone here, and if she hadn't asked from Green Shade, she wouldn't even know which hotel Huo Mingjie was staying in, so she couldn't give Huo Mingjie a "surprise"...
