It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon when the sun is shining brightly. In Los Angeles with a Mediterranean climate, sitting in an outdoor cafe drinking coffee at this time is the most pleasant thing in winter. That's what Sean was doing at the moment.

But he was not here to drink coffee. Although there was a cup and a plate of snacks in front of him, he raised his arms from time to time to check the time, obviously waiting for someone.

There are not many vehicles coming and going on the streets outside. Under normal circumstances, most American families choose to go on vacation together on weekends, so the traffic flow in commercial areas is much smaller than usual. Because of this, Sean

I feel slightly anxious. The road is so smooth, so logically we should be here.

At this time, the phone rang. He quickly picked it up and answered: "Who is this?"

"Hey, Sean, it's me." Galen's somewhat embarrassed voice came over the phone, "Sorry, I think I'm lost. You know, I haven't been to Los Angeles a few times."

"I knew it." Sean rolled his eyes, "Where are you now? Is there a sign?"

"Of course there is. Obviously, I'm at the junction of Ocean Avenue and 34th Street." Galen's tone sounded confused, "But I can't see the cafe you mentioned."

"Can't see? How is that possible?" Sean frowned, stood up and looked around, "Okay, can you see... um... it should be the three-story building in the northeast corner, at the door

There are posters announcing price reductions.”

"Wait... no, I can't see it." After waiting for a few seconds, Galen said.

Sean frowned and thought for a moment: "You called me from a public phone booth, right?"

"Of course, can I still buy a mobile phone? My savings have been spent on buying a car." Galen sighed.

"Okay, so are you wearing a pair of gray trousers, a blue and white striped shirt, and a blue Warriors cap?" Sean sighed.

"Yes, where are you?" Galen shouted in surprise.

"Please stand where you are now, and then turn around 180 degrees, and then you can see that on the street diagonally across the street, there is a guy holding a mobile phone and looking around stupidly." Sean said, covering his forehead.

He really didn't know what to say. He could not find it even though it was diagonally across the street. Could it be that after half a year of not seeing each other, he could have kept the streets and alleys of San Francisco in his mind so that they could be better prepared after they pulled some mischief?

Galen Lee, who quickly fled the scene, became a road addict?

"Hey, Sean, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've become a big star." Galen greeted him with a smile before he even walked in front of him, and his face, which was more oriental than his, gradually became clearer.

"Don't be so excited, I'm just a young actor." Sean was very modest.

"Come on, can a young actor hire an assistant?" Galen walked up to him, "Are you worried about being recognized?"

"How is it possible? People here are not very interested in celebrities. They see them every day." Sean said, pointing to the top of his head, "But your hat, it's best to take it off. These are all Lakers."

fan."

"It's not that scary, right?" The other party twitched the corner of his mouth.

Then, they both laughed, slapped each other, pulled each other forward, made a fist with the other hand, and hit each other on the back several times.

"You don't know how much we have missed you since you left. We were even more shocked when you appeared in "Friends". Neil even shouted that this is impossible." At the beginning.

After the joy passed, Galen looked at Sean up and down and said with a smile, "You look very energetic."

"Thank you. When I performed on the stage, there was never a time when he didn't make a fuss down there," Sean patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, let's go back first. The room is ready for you."

"Then let's go. By the way, have you seen my new car?" Galen immediately waved to take Sean to see his new car.

The place where he parked his car was not far from the public telephone booth where he had made a call. It was only a few steps away after crossing the street. Then Sean saw a blue, at least 80% new, convertible parked on the side of the road.

"Porsche 911?" He was a little surprised.

"That's right, Porsche 911," Galen said with a proud tone. "Although it has been used for six years, it has been well maintained and only cost 5,000 US dollars. It is worth it, isn't it?"

"Well, your little girl does look good," Sean touched his chin, "It's just that her waist is too thick."

Although the Porsche in front of us is very good overall, the car company is a little greedy. It is obviously a two-seater sports car, but it has to squeeze out one-third of the back to make it a four-seater. Naturally, it is a bit ugly.

"Girl?" Galen narrowed his eyes, seemingly dissatisfied.

Sean didn't explain, jumped into the car and waved: "Go to the parking lot over there and let you see my car."

So, a few minutes later, Galen gathered in front of a rectangular convertible car and shouted "****" repeatedly.

"What the heck, you actually bought a 1960 Lincoln Continental!" He rubbed the polished car body, his eyes flashing with surprise and excitement.

This is not surprising. Ford launched this rectangular sports car in 1960 after acquiring Lincoln. It has always been very classic. The body of nearly 19 feet is even longer than ordinary luxury cars, and Lincoln became the first to provide a special car for the president.

Car Company, Kennedy was riding in a convertible Lincoln Continental when he was assassinated.

Seven or eight years ago, the cousin of one of their best friends once drove this kind of cool car, which was very eye-catching. And they, a group of energetic guys, also secretly drove it twice.

God knows, they were only a little over ten years old at the time, and they almost got into trouble. But because of this, when Sean decided to buy a new car, he chose this classic car.

"How much did it cost?" Galen asked after retracting his reluctant gaze.

"Almost $50,000," Sean recalled, "about the same as the latest model of a Porsche."

Cars in the United States have always been very cheap. Brands like Porsche, which are not yet among the top car brands, only cost 50,000 to 60,000 US dollars. Here, many times you may not see a few people on a street, but there are many parked cars.

The cars are definitely lined up in rows. This also illustrates the classic status of the 1960 Lincoln Continental. The price of such an antique car is comparable to that of a good-quality new car.

"It seems that you have indeed become a big star." Galen teased, with an envious tone.

Sean smiled and didn't mention this, but just raised his chin: "Want to try it?"

"Me? Now?" Galen couldn't believe it.

"Of course, you will have a lot of time to drive this car in the future. You will be my assistant from now on." Sean laughed and said, "Try to drive it back."

But the next sentence revealed his thoughts: "I'll drive your little girl and lead the way."

"No problem!" Galen ignored him teasing his driving skills and car, took the keys and jumped in.

One of Sean's best friends came into his life, and his life in Hollywood turned a new page.

Let me give you a brief introduction. Although Sean has a lot of friends in China, he only has a few close friends. Galen Lee’s father is a third-generation Chinese immigrant. Although his grandfather and great-grandfather were both of Chinese descent,

In his father's generation, he married a girl from Texas.

They run a chain of restaurants in San Francisco and are basically considered a wealthy class. Galen's father does not want him to be like this. He hopes that he will go to college and find a more respectable job in the future. But interestingly, his appearance is closer to that of his mother, who is of mixed race.

It is obvious that Galen wanted to be a great chef and then run his own restaurant.

It is conceivable that the relationship between father and son is not good, but probably because of the oriental smoothness in his heart, Galen never had a hard time with his father. After graduating from high school, Sean's example was followed, and he also patted him.

He slipped out without saying a word and went to work on his own to make money. Because of this, plus his soul

Here, there is a natural affinity for the East - although Galen's father is a third-generation immigrant and married an American girl, the decoration of the home is very Chinese and has been passed down quite well. Sean often goes there to feel the connection with his previous life.

And make excuses for being fluent in Chinese, just like I make excuses for Italian.

In short, Sean and Galen have the best relationship. Although I don’t know why, for a long time, when Galen’s name was mentioned, he would think of grass.

In addition, there are two best friends. Sanders Peller's family is in the construction business and he has a bit of Latin descent. This guy can talk back, and even Sean can't compare to them when it comes to talking.

Every time he sneaks into a nightclub, he is responsible for negotiating with the doorman. After graduating from high school, he will work as a salesman, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

Neil Wollsman is a Jew. Well, this is other people’s opinions. At least his father never considered himself a Jew. His family has never participated in any Jewish-related festivals and celebrations, and he does not live among the Jews.

Community. But interestingly, his father’s job was as an investor, and Sanders also wanted to be an investor, so after graduating from high school, his father kicked him to Harvard.

Neil was the only one among them to go to college. In fact, Sean could have done it too. He had good grades and participated in a lot of extracurricular activities. Maybe there were problems with the Ivy League, but it was very easy to get into Stanford. He had good grades in this life.

My grandfather was the principal of Manlong Private High School.

However, Sean had his own ideas and had irreconcilable conflicts with his father, so he finally chose to run away from home after graduating from high school.

Despite this, Neil kept complaining on the phone every day. He either felt that college was boring or useless, and he had the urge to drop out and start his own business.

"Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have done this, why can't I do the same?" he complained on the phone.

Of course, Sean clearly told him that if he dared to say this in front of him, he would definitely give him a good beating. Although Neil was indeed very smart, at the instigation of Sean, he followed him to buy Microsoft stocks.
