Rebirth of America: The American Drama System

Chicago.

"Sorry, Mrs. Solis, I can't go there. It's really not about money. I've been very busy recently. I formed a new choir and am preparing to compete in next year's national competition, so you'd better hire another weeder.

What? Are other people not as good at weeding as I am? I know, I know, but I'm really sorry, I'm really busy... Just go twice a month and double my salary?

But Mr. Solis won’t agree, right? Don't worry about him? Isn't this bad? "

In Mary Magdalene's single-family villa, Owen was answering the phone, while Mary, who was wearing a bikini and crossing her legs, basking in the sun and drinking a small bottle of beer by the outdoor swimming pool, couldn't help but listen to Owen's call. Rolled his eyes.

"You are so popular! Even those desperate housewives have heard of your name!"

"hehe."

Owen put away his phone, shook his head and smiled: "There is no way, they are too enthusiastic, I am also desperate, and I really have no interest in them."

"I don't believe this!"

Mary sneered: "You even have to conform to your aesthetic standards as the instructor of the Eternal Gun Chorus. I don't believe that if Gabriel Solis, a former famous model, wasn't young and hot, you would agree to work as a weeder for her house? Are you still getting a salary? Is it just because you have good weeding skills?"

“Of course I’m good at weeding!”

Owen smiled shamelessly.

"Shameless~"

Mary scolded: "By the way, what on earth did you do in New York?"

"nothing."

Owen shrugged: "I just went to attend a book signing and made a friend by the way."

"Female friend?"

Mary was surprised: "Are you exaggerating? North Shore High School hasn't satisfied you yet, so you drove to New York specifically?"

"A real friend, a boy!"

Owen said speechlessly: "Teacher Mai Jia, am I that kind of person in your eyes?"

Mary tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Yes!"

"Well……"

Owen paused, reflected on himself, and murmured: "I think it's true..."

"alright."

Mary was very good at taking care of Owen's emotions. She changed the subject with a smile and said, "Why do you think of going to New York to make this real friend? I remember that you almost never play with boys!"

"What do you mean I don't play with boys? Aren't Kevin and the others boys?"

Owen couldn't help but retort.

"They're just your team members."

Mary said clearly: "Apart from this relationship, have you ever taken the initiative to find them?"

"All right."

Owen smiled and said: "The key is that we have no common language with them, and there is no way to have in-depth contact and understanding like with the girls, so I seem to be lonely..."

"Giggle."

Mary shook her head and smiled: "Is there anything special about this boy? Does he have a common language with you, or can he have in-depth contact and understanding with you?"

"Eh~"

Owen couldn't help but shuddered, and while Mary giggled, he complained: "Teacher Maijia, please don't say such disgusting things, okay? If it causes a psychological shadow on me, you will be the one who is sad!"

While the two were laughing, Owen's mind flashed back to his experience in New Jersey a week ago.

When Irving used the chicken soup that Leonard had summed up in Leonard's future and poured it into Leonard's head, Leonard was immediately fooled. No one has ever understood him so well. Every word Irving said was... It spoke to his heart.

Just as Irving expected, Leonard directly echoed his excitement and called him 'buddy'. At that time, the American drama system in Irving's mind sounded a beeping horn, reminding Irving that he had gained Leonard's friendship.

It's a bit regretful that although Leonard called out buddy, which represented a good friend, the system still recognized the relationship between the two as friends.

According to the explanation of the American drama system, in the United States, distance and time cannot be ignored regardless of any relationship. Not to mention friendship, the same is true for family ties. The blood connection here is very weak, and the feelings between people rely on the accumulation of years. , and once separated, even good friends and gay friends will gradually become strangers.

Therefore, even though Leonard is very excited to gain Irving's friendship at the moment, he does not meet the standard of a good friend recognized by the system at all.

Although Owen feels very sorry in his heart, he can understand it, because love grows over time, which is the norm in the world. It is not limited to the United States, but it is more obvious and extreme in the United States.

After achieving the expected goal, Irving briefly deepened his friendship with Leonard, exchanged phone numbers, and asked to keep in touch, and then left directly.

There was no way. If it wasn't for the hearty defeat of Jesse, Owen would have never planned to contact Leonard in advance, because he didn't want to disrupt the life trajectory of the Big Bang Seven, at least before the plot of The Big Bang Theory officially started. , he didn't intend to interfere with them too much.

Who knows if a butterfly effect will occur and the original seven-man group will be blown away? If this is really the case, then Irving will suffer a big loss!

Before that, it is very necessary to reduce your influence on the Big Bang Seven as much as possible!

So Irving returned to Chicago directly. Fortunately, Leonard was about to go to college. As long as Irving kept in touch with Sheldon, it would be enough to ensure that he and Leonard were friends, and he would not be right. Leonard's life had a huge impact.

"How do you plan to fund the Eternal Gun Choir?"

After laughing for a while, Mary remembered the business. She only recently learned that a simple high school choir spent so much money to participate in a competition.

No wonder art groups like choirs are so niche and it’s hard for public high schools to get ranked because they cost too much money.

That's why Sue Sylvester's popular support soared when she ran for state Senate on the slogan of eliminating school arts groups.

In this era, nearly ten thousand US dollars is equivalent to nearly half a year’s salary of a high school teacher like Mary. It’s really not a small sum!

"hehe."

Owen smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Maijia, have you ever known the members of our Eternal Gun Chorus?"

"kindness?"

Mary was stunned for a moment, then realized it, shook her head and said with a smile: "You mean to ask them for sponsorship?

Too! Regina, Gretchen, and Sugar all have wealthy families. As long as you ask, it's really easy for them to get sponsorship money. "

"Bingo!"

Owen snapped his fingers: "In fact, Su Ge has convinced her father to sponsor all our expenses."

This is the reason why Owen is so confident. If he just relies on him to find money, he can collect nearly ten thousand US dollars even if he is exhausted. But for Sugamotta and the others, this is just a matter of showing off to their father. .

Therefore, Irving has already assigned this task to Su Ge and the others. Isn't it a bit embarrassing to do so?

Come on!

This is America, no matter what method you use, as long as you can find money, that is a sign of ability!

"Very good!"

Mary was really happy for Owen, and then asked: "By the way, you are going to let Beca be responsible for the arrangement, but what about the dance teacher you mentioned?"
