Chapter 71 Sing a Song(1/2)

Although Jester's grandfather's hotel is only three-star, it is quite luxurious in the eyes of these international students.

There are not many international students in Los Angeles in mainland China, but not very few. Most of them arrived when the scene was set up before the party. In fact, Jester felt that although he had the enthusiasm to cheer for the Olympic athletes in the motherland, he might be more likely to have a rare meal for free.

Otherwise, Jester saw some students hiking over 30 kilometers and not having dinner before coming, which really made him a little difficult to understand.

Originally, Jester's grandfather planned to come tonight, but he couldn't come if he had something to do, but he still asked Jester's sister-in-law to attend on his behalf.

Jester's grandfather has a high reputation among these international students. He has a private fund for scholarship, and he spends 30,000 US dollars every year to fund these international students who come to study in the United States, especially those studying on the West Coast.

Many people have received the favor of Grandpa Jester.

His sister-in-law came to announce the new funding list mainly on behalf of his grandfather.

The venue was decorated with a domestic atmosphere, and the decorations inside were specially bought from Chinatown, and they were all made of traditional large round tables of more than a dozen or twenty people in China. The chefs were also transferred from Grandpa Jester's chain Chinese restaurants. In short, everything made these international students feel as if they were back in China.

In fact, they have never seen such a scene in the country.

There are still many people coming tonight, but there are nearly 200 international students and Chinese and overseas Chinese, and about half of the athletes will come to participate. In addition to some other idle staff, there are always nearly 400 people.

The Los Angeles Olympics in 1984 were the first privately hosted Olympics in history. Therefore, in order to reduce expenses, there were no new venues or new Olympic villages in this Olympics. They just rented dormitories from several universities for athletes and delegation officials to live in.

Moreover, there are also many sponsors, reaching hundreds of them, and Jester's grandfather is one of them.

But this is also beneficial, that is, Jester's grandfather got six tickets to the opening ceremony from the organizing committee, and they are all in the best locations.

This also made Jester come with two photos. After the party is over, he plans to invite Qin Shuyao to watch tomorrow's opening ceremony with him.

This Olympic Games pioneered the model of recruiting Olympic volunteers. To put it bluntly, it was because of insufficient funds that wanted to find some free staff. Unexpectedly, this item was warmly welcomed by Americans, especially many college students, who spontaneously organized to serve the Olympics for free.

However, the most criticized thing is that the firepower transmission of this Olympic Games is for sale, with a clear price tag of 3,000 US dollars per mile, and no bargaining. When it was delivered to California, Corey Fein Sports Economics Company also specifically consulted whether Jester should participate in this relay, but Jester knew that this relay was so naked and linked to money, so he refused directly.

Although he likes sports very much, especially football, and is not disgusted with sports being mixed into business, he still cannot accept such a naked model.

Of course, if the Olympics were not so business-oriented, it would be impossible to make a pure profit of 22.5 billion US dollars in half a month with less than 500 million US dollars, which made the Olympics go from being annoying and giving up, and it was a pity to host an event that faced huge losses, and turned into a money tree that all countries want to get.

Jester is still very famous in the Chinese circle. This is not due to his grandfather's prestige in the West Coast Chinese circle, but his great success in Mars entertainment in these two short months.

Completely slap the media and experts who have been saying that video games are dead.

And there is also vaguely rumor that Jester is now the youngest billionaire in the United States.

So some Chinese who came to the banquet immediately surrounded Jester enthusiastically as soon as they saw him, all trying to get closer to him.

Recently, the story of Jester's acquisition of the Clement card company that could not be opened has spread throughout the Chinese circle. He basically regarded Jester as a rich prodigal son and sucker.

In fact, there is no need for international students like Qin Shuyao to arrange the scene. Jester's grandfather had already made it. They just need to eat when they come.

However, it was not time for the start of the banquet, and those who knew each other and even started chatting in groups of three or three.

After finally dealing with the Chinese people who were surrounding him, Jester rarely got free.

He looked around and found Qin Shuyao's location after a moment. She and the four international students who came with her were smiling and chatting with some people about the same age as them.

Maybe I know my classmates.

Jester thought so, and then walked over.

Qin Shuyao saw him walking, smiled and waved to the people around her, "Li Jie, whose English name is Jester Li, is also the grandson of Mr. Li, and is also the patron of our party second only to Mr. Li."

International students who often pay attention to the news obviously recognized Jester. After all, Jester and Mars Entertainment are so popular, especially after Jester was nominated as the candidate for Young Entrepreneur of the Year by the American Academy Entrepreneurs Association, they received great attention. You should know that Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Atari's founder Bushnell had won this honor.

Previously, a few large media such as Football ABC wanted to give an exclusive interview to Jester, but they were rejected by Jester. Since the last interview, Jester has completely lost interest in interviews with various media. Moreover, he is not a high-profile person and doesn't like to show up in public.

Although these international students know Jester's identity, they don't want to get too close. First, the ideas may be different, and the identities are also very different. Both sides are not from the same world at all.

They just said a few words and left on the excuse. They didn't want to have too much contact with Jester, and these people could see that Jester was coming to Qin Shuyao.

Only the one who had just met showed some hostility to Jester, and was a little angry with the arrival of Qin Shuyao's secret love, Yu Yunlong, at the arrival of Jester. However, when he saw his classmates and friends left, he did not want to show his secret love for Qin Shuyao, nor did he want people to think that he wanted to please the young capitalist, and he could only go elsewhere reluctantly.

However, his eyes always looked secretly in the direction where Qin Shuyao was. When he saw Jester's eyes looking at him several times, he immediately turned his gaze elsewhere and then showed an indifferent expression.

Jester just smiled and ignored this.

In his opinion, it is natural for some people to like Qin Shuyao such an outstanding girl.

However, in addition to Qin Shuyao, another international student also stayed.

Jester looked at the young man in front of him and felt that he was different from those international students. He was not as alert and alienated as those people, and seemed to deliberately try to get closer to him.

"His name is Sun Zeyun, he is the grandson of a comrade-in-arms of my grandfather. He grew up together when he was a child." Qin Shuyao introduced to Jester.

After hearing this, Jace nodded and understood that this was also a powerful man from the mainland.

However, the powerful and powerful people in the mainland are not worth much these days. Jester has seen a lot of worlds now. He didn't care about it when he was just reborn. He just reached out to hold on to the young man named Sun Zeyun, and then quickly separated.

"I heard Shu Yao say that you are going to invest in and do business in China. I have many friends in China, and they can all help." Sun Zeyun's attitude was very proactive and enthusiastic.

Jester just smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything specifically.

He has an investment of tens of millions of dollars, and the senior officials at the ministerial level have to meet him in person, so they can't help his friends.

Qin Shuyao was a little disdainful when she heard this. She seemed to be very familiar with the person named Sun Zeyun. She grimaced and said in a sarcastic tone: "Only those friends, who are capable? She only knows how to make trouble everywhere because of her elders' reputation."

Sun Zeyun didn't care about it after hearing this. He continued to say enthusiastically to Jester: "Mr. Sun, I am actually a UCLA student, but I just finished the language preparatory course and only entered the freshman year after the summer vacation."

"Congratulations, UCLA is a very good university." Jester said with a smile.

The three of them chatted for a few more times, and then Sun Zeyun also realized that Jester seemed to be interested in Qin Shuyao and lacked interest in himself. In order to maintain his image in front of Jester, he also found an excuse to leave.

"I'm sorry just now, I didn't expect them to be so distant to you." Seeing that there were only her and Jester, Qin Shuyao said a little embarrassedly.

Jester smiled indifferently. To be honest, he was not interested in making too many friends with these international students. He was willing to know those people because of Qin Shuyao's face. If it weren't for Qin Shuyao, Jester would care who they were? So they didn't appreciate it, so they would be so happy for Jester.

You know, the time for billionaires is not that cheap.

"No, didn't you just know one?" As he said, Jester signaled Sun Zeyun who had reached the other side with his eyes.

"Um."

Qin Shuyao was relieved to see that Jester's face was normal and did not take the neglect of her classmates before. After all, the matter was because of her, and she did not explain the situation to both parties in advance. When she saw Jester talking about Sun Zeyun, a funny expression appeared on her delicate face. She smiled and said, "He, his grandfather used to be a guard for my grandfather and was also a fellow countryman. We grew up together when we were young and were a very fussy person. I remember that once he put a caterpillar on my hair, which scared me to tears, and then I went to complain. As a result, he was spanked by his father for twenty boards. He didn't dare to sit for a whole week, and he was lying down for dinner, almost laughing to death."

When he heard Qin Shuyao talk about interesting things from his childhood, Jester couldn't help laughing. Then, based on the real Jester Li's memory in his mind, he also talked about many interesting things from his childhood, which made Qin Shuyao's laughter keep ringing.

Qin Shuyao's admirer named Yu Yunlong could only watch all this secretly, watching Jester and Qin Shuyao laugh and laughter, and his eyes when he looked at Jester became more and more hostile.

Unintentionally, his fists clenched.

When it was almost time for dinner, the athletes from the mainland delegation also arrived one after another. Jester was not very familiar with the athletes of this era. He probably could only recognize Xu Haifeng, who was the number one in China, and Li Ning, who was known as the Prince of Gymnastics and the Tower of Power. He was not too familiar with the rest.

However, Xu Haifeng was going to participate in the competition the next day after the opening ceremony and was raising his strength, so he did not attend, which also made Jester feel a little regretful. However, Li Ning came. Jester just took a look from a distance, but from the outline, it could be seen that it looked very similar to the photos he saw in later generations.

The dinner was still very rich, and the chefs in Grandpa Jester's Chinese restaurant were all cooks. In order to take care of these international students and athletes from all over the country, this time, in addition to the Sichuan cuisine, which is best known as the Sichuan cuisine in Grandpa Jester's Chinese restaurant, there are also many Huaiyang cuisines that are known as the sect of northern cuisine.

To be honest, Chinese people of this era, especially those in China, have a very difficult life due to shortage of supplies. National athletes may be slightly better, but they will not be much better than ordinary people.

Jester still remembers a story he saw. At this time, Liu Xiaoqing, who was already a famous actress in mainland China, was filming the Old Summer Palace when Li Hanxiang's crew filmed the Old Summer Palace, because Hong Kong crew members had meat to eat, but they didn't have meat, they could just cry and stop the show just to eat meat. It can be seen how low the domestic material shortage is now.

Therefore, on behalf of his grandfather, Jaster's sister-in-law said a few simple words on behalf of his grandfather that athletes hope that athletes will win glory for the country in the Olympics. We Chinese overseas will definitely cheer for our motherland without hesitation. After the banquet officially began, the international students in the United States who wish to save every minute of foreign exchange to buy useful books, as well as those athletes who have long faded out of their mouths in China, faced with the rich and delicious food and immediately swallowed them.

It is said that this evening party was organized by these international students with the assistance of the consulate. This is just a name. The one who actually organized this welcome banquet was Jester's grandfather.

Jester's sister could also see that her nephew was interested in the girl named Qin Shuyao, so she deliberately arranged the two together.

After three rounds of wine, I tasted the five flavors of the dishes, and everyone's emotions were also mobilized. I don't know who proposed to sing a song, and then it was quickly agreed by everyone. However, it was impossible for all 400 people to sing. At the beginning, they were voluntary, but the result might be that Chinese people or introverts were the majority, so there were not many people who voluntarily, so they finally drew lots and sang them.

In addition to those who sang voluntarily, there were about twenty more people, and twenty of them were drawn from nearly four hundred people, and the probability of being drawn is still very small.

But what Jester didn't expect was that he bought a lot of scratch cards in his previous life but never won the prize. This time he actually won the first prize.

Although Jester is not very good at singing, sometimes he still has the ability to sing with his friends in KTV, so he can hit it, just sing a song. Although his singing is average, it is not bad at all.

It's not difficult to fool it.

In order not to collide with the songs that others want to sing, after getting the song items with the accompaniment in the hotel, all those who are preparing to sing also choose the songs they are preparing to sing according to the song items.

Jester looked at it and found that he was not familiar with the songs of this period. For example, the red songs that love the party and the country were not suitable for him, even though he could, the songs that came from Taiwan were not suitable for him. After all, he had criticized Taiwan as a sick cat not long ago. After all, he chose one song that was very famous and suitable for him to sing.

Huang Zhan’s famous work, “My Chinese Heart”.

The problem is that this song is too famous, too nice, too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and too easy to sing, so many people want to choose this song. Although it is not prohibited to sing the same song, it is not very good to sing the same song as others.

However, Jester's reputation was there, and his grandfather had a high prestige among Chinese people, so when others saw Jester's choice of this song, they also gave up.

There is no need to offend Jester for a song.

Jester thanked them one by one.

Yu Yunlong also planned to choose this song. He really liked this song. Since he heard this song in the United States, he couldn't help but fall in love with this song that completely wrote about his heart. Moreover, his voice was very good and he was good at singing duets. When he was in college in China, he was a star player at the school party. However, when he saw that Jester wanted to sing this song, others immediately gave up. With Qin Shuyao's close attitude towards Jester before, he immediately felt a sense of injustice in his heart.

Why can he have so many privileges? Why do everyone behaves and respectfully to him? Isn’t he just a good grandfather, wasn’t he born in the United States? How could I be worse than him?

He was arrogant and conceited that he was the pride of heaven. Since he resumed the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Peking University from a poor mountain, and he was desperately absorbing all the knowledge he could gain. In China, he never passed the second place in every exam. He also got the quota for studying abroad without any effort. Before coming to the United States, he was extremely proud and confident.

After coming to the United States, he worked hard in the despicable eyes of these Americans. He was an A-level student in every exam. No one in the US, European or Japanese had better grades than him.

He is extremely conceited with his abilities.

He only feels inferior when facing Qin Shuyao, because he knows Qin Shuyao's identity.

He knew how far he was from Qin Shuyao.

However, this banana man named Jester Li... At this time, countless thoughts flashed through Yu Yunlong's mind. The look he looked at Jester was no longer the kind of hostility he had at the beginning, but turned into disgust.

At this time, Jester also discovered Yu Yunlong not far away. He saw that the other party looked at him with a strange look, and it seemed that the other party was also trying to sing, so he wanted to ask if the other party wanted to choose "My Chinese Heart", so Jester walked towards him.
To be continued...
