American Life

Chapter 170: Everyone comes to learn English, a friendship, the eve of the finals
The sun is blazing in the sky, and a dozen beauties on the beach are wearing colorful swimsuits, walking hand in hand in small groups on the delicate beach, or playing and playing, the gentle sea breeze blows the hair of all the beauties, and every face is They are all smiling. Perhaps only at this time can they forget that they are in the middle of a competition and forget about all the distractions in reality.

Charlie leaned on the railing and looked at everyone. He was back on the ship now, and the wooden stairs behind him made a rustling sound.

Barefoot Claudia walked up. She had just visited Vasler and was aware of what had just happened.

The friend has already landed, and she is still underwater, of course she wants to seize this opportunity, young and handsome boss, who wouldn't want it?This has never been a multiple-choice question for her, but something that has long been determined.

Now that Vasler is asleep, isn't this a good opportunity for him?
At that moment, she no longer hesitated and went straight to Charlie and stood with him.

"Wassler may have to sleep until early tomorrow morning." Claudia sighed pretendingly.

Charlie on the side remained silent.

"Actually, I'm not much worse than Vasler, what do you think?" she said impatiently.

Charlie set his sights on the Indian beauty pageant winner wearing a pure white swimsuit on the beach.

"Have you ever studied yoga?" Charlie asked suddenly.

"No, but I can learn it now." Claudia said.

"Then do you have any talents?" Charlie turned his head and looked at her.

"I can... belly dance."

"I didn't see it. I want to see it if I have a chance tonight."

"Okay, sir, I will go to your room tonight to perform for you up close." Claudia breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I am also a Venezuelan beauty pageant champion,... Venezuela happens to have the most shortage of beauty pageant champions.

If you can catch Charlie's boat, you can live in the United States, and if everything goes well, you can take your family over.

Not to mention belly dancing, even if it was a yoga pose on the spot, she had to do it desperately.

Never underestimate the determination of any beautiful young girl...

·
After leaving West Island, the luxury yacht passed by Coconut Island and Xiaoyangshan Island, and finally chose to dock at Xiaohaijiaoshan Island further south. It has not been developed yet. Only some fishermen make a living here, and there are no star hotels on the island. .

Charlie asked the crew to go to the island and order a seafood banquet from the fisherman, which was sent to the ship to dine with the beauties.

"You may be wronged tonight, someone has to spend the night in this cabin." During the meal, Charlie said to the beauties.

Although the top cabin has soft sofas, it is obviously not up to standard for overnight rest.

There are only three guest rooms on the lower floor, so Charlie naturally wants to occupy the largest one. Even if the remaining two are squeezed together, a maximum of three people can sleep on the same bed. The remaining six beauties must sleep on the upper floor.

Otherwise, you'll just have to huddle with the crew.Obviously this is impossible.

Jiada volunteered and raised his hand: "I am willing to sleep on the top floor."

McCully and several others also echoed, and these are beauties who are closer to Charlie.

Speaking of sleeping on it, who knows how many will sneak into someone's bed?
"This is an easy arrangement. Zi Lin, you and the Indian beauties and the Malaysian beauties will live in a guest room. Mikala from Angola, Ekaterini from Greece, and Carolina from Mexico, you three will live together. "

Several people whose names were called nodded in unison. Only Carolina had other opinions about this arrangement. She pondered and seemed ready to speak, but after being glanced at by Charlie, she immediately closed her mouth obediently and nodded.

Obviously, Charlie didn't need her tonight.

It's not easy to accept the feeling of being able to come and go as soon as you call. Of course, Carolina is not willing to accept it, but that's the extent of it.She knew she had no choice.

Maybe we had too much fun at noon and everyone was a little tired. The meal was very quiet, but some people were concentrating on the food, while others were thinking about other things.

"Okay, let's all go to bed early and try to complete the rest of the trip tomorrow." Charlie stood up and prepared to return to his room.

"I'm full too." Claudia almost said. Of course she didn't dare to follow Charlie in front of so many people. She pretended to lean on the railing and admire the scenery for a while, and then couldn't wait to go to the lower level from another staircase. .

Gadda, who came from Italy, stood up directly and left without saying a word.

"I'll go to the bathroom with you." McCully also stood up when she saw this.

Instead, there were two left from Austria and Sweden. They looked at each other frequently and cleared their throats from time to time.

"We're both full too." The two of them stood up at the same time and walked down the stairs in a hurry, as if they were afraid of missing something.

"What are these people doing?" Zhang Zilin couldn't help but ask.

She had long noticed that something was unusual. These girls seemed to be hiding something from others.

"Don't worry about other people, just do your own thing." Sarah-Jane Dias from India said with a slightly mocking tone.

She has a very special Chinese character face. For a woman, this kind of face may not match a beautiful woman, but her excellent facial features give this face a bit of a unique temperament, especially the pair of black big Eye.All in all, she is a being with a special appearance, but no one can deny her beauty.

After all, before winning the Miss India World title this year, she also won the Miss India Oman beauty pageant title.

"Wealthy bosses and young girls eager to become famous, there is no shortage of such things in Hollywood, but no one will admit it openly." Deborah Priya Henry said.

She represents Malaysia and actually grew up in Dublin. She is of Indian and Irish descent and is now better known locally as the host of a Malaysian TV show.

Obviously, she knew what these girls were worried about.

Zhang Zilin looked around. Except for Miss Angola, who was not very good at speaking, and she was equally confused, everyone seemed to know what was going on.

never mind.Zhang Zilin didn't want to go into details anymore. Miss India was right, it was enough to do her own thing well.

She suddenly remembered that she had an agreement with Charlie Rossi.

He won't forget himself, will he?

Is he very busy now?After all, he is the executive chairman of the organizing committee.

Do you want to go find him to test your English now?
In line with the principle of having as much contact as possible, Zhang Zilin got up and chose to go to the lower level.

"Another one going to line up." Sarah's voice came from behind.

They also went to Charlie to learn English?
Zhang Zilin thought about it and felt that it was really possible.

Charlie would say these things to himself, and possibly to others.

Zhang Zilin felt that she was not special. Although this was her home court, no one except Charlie had informed her about anything in advance. She was completely treated as an ordinary player.

Since everyone is doing the same thing, it doesn't bother me.

Zhang Zilin came outside Charlie's room and saw no so-called people queuing up. Apparently the previous ones had already gone in.

Zhang Zilin was about to knock on the door when she heard wild laughter coming from inside.

"COOL, that's it, you guys are doing a great job."

It was Charlie's voice.

Zhang Zilin knocked on the door with doubts.

The joyful laughter in the room stopped momentarily, and then Charlie's question came.

"It's me, coming to you to test my English." Zhang Zilin explained the purpose of her visit.

"I'm busy right now, how about tomorrow? Baby." Charlie responded from inside the house.

Zhang Zilin frowned slightly, she didn't like this foreigner calling her that.

"Then I'll wait outside?" Zhang Zilin thought it was okay to queue up.

There was a rustling sound in the room, and after a few minutes, the door opened.

Zhang Zilin saw McCully and opened the door for her.

The temperature inside the room is much higher than outside. The room, which is very spacious for two people, is obviously very crowded at this moment. There are people sitting on the floor like this, with their arms behind their backs, their knees arched, and their legs forming an acute angle. .

How could she pose like this in front of a man?Zhang Zilin felt disgusted.

"Are you also here to learn English?" She asked thoughtfully.

Several women in the room laughed, as if they heard some kind of joke.

"Yes, they all need to improve their English, just like you." Charlie cleared his throat and said.

"But what about her?" Zhang Zilin looked at McCully who was standing behind her at the moment.

"She's not from the United States?"

"I'm here to assist in teaching." McCully followed.

"Okay." Zhang Zilin nodded. She couldn't find any logical loopholes for the time being, but she didn't completely believe it.

Charlie listened to the so-called language test with great interest, almost going through the motions, and sent Zhang Zilin away after a few minutes.

After Zhang Zilin left, she went to the upper room. When she closed the door, Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where did our group English class go?"

"Proceed to the names of different types of mangoes from all over the world." The Italian girl Jia Da followed up.

·
The short yacht trip was obviously too fulfilling for Charlie. It could even be said to be busy. There was no way around it. There were too many people to sign this time, but the result was good.

Except for the six beauties who stayed in two rooms that night, the remaining people all reached a consensus with themselves and cooperated for the first time. Both parties were quite satisfied with each other, especially these beauties, who felt that they were very outstanding and even It can be said that it is the only partner in a million.

The day after returning to base camp, there will be an intensive shortcut race.

The first thing that bore the brunt was the most eye-catching "World Beach Bikini Selection". The stage was set up on the soft sand of the bay. Charlie sat in the center of the judges' table and watched it all day.

To be honest, maybe it was because he was too crazy a few days ago. At this moment, he felt uninterested in these things, and even felt a little tired of aesthetics.

The final relay championship went to Charlie from Vasler from Ecuador.

This is well deserved, after all, she has a very outstanding figure.

The next shortcut competition is the "World Miss Sports Selection". If the previous swimsuit display looked like that, today's Miss Sports looks like the final sports exam in elementary school.

There were only three events in total, including the return run, standing long jump, and swimming.

The final winner was McCully.

Then came the world model selection, and there was no doubt that the final winner was Zhang Zilin.

The remaining round was the Miss Talent of the World competition. Charlie gave Claudia, who was very good at belly dancing, her talent show that night, which left a deep impression on him.

"Is there another shortcut race coming?" Charlie asked Douglas during a break in the performance.

"There is also an award for Miss Best Mentality. There are not many entries for this award. It is mainly judged based on the conversation during interviews with the media. Currently, Zhang Jiaer from Xiangjiang looks pretty good." Douglas responded.

"Zhang Jia'er, what's your background?" Charlie asked.

"She is the Miss Xiangjiang champion hosted by the local TV station and will represent Xiangjiang this time."

I didn’t expect that she would still be a Hong Kong sister. Unfortunately, since the beginning of the new century, the quality of Hong Kong sisters has become increasingly poor.

"Let's change it. Let...Ekaterina from Greece win the title of Miss Mind." Charlie made a new arrangement.

He fell in love with this Greek beauty with a classical and clean temperament.

"In this case, the hotel sponsors in Xiangjiang may be dissatisfied, and it is unlikely that Zhang Jiaer will enter the final top fifteen through normal channels." Douglas mused.

A good ranking will naturally attract local audiences to watch. Of course, the sponsors of Xiangjiang do not want the players representing Xiangjiang to be eliminated early.

"Just do as I say," Charlie insisted.

It has nothing to do with him whether his sponsors are satisfied or not. He values ​​his own interests more and must give his people more exposure.

There are only so many slots for the top fifteen, and there are also beauties from other sponsors, so it’s time to let go of some of them.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Douglas nodded with some difficulty.

·
"Thank you, sir." Ekaterina thanked her profusely in Charlie's room.

She just learned what happened this afternoon from Charlie, and she knew in her heart that if it weren't for Charlie, she might have been out of the game.

"There are many interests involved in the beauty pageant, and sometimes it does bury some contestants. I admit this. I came to you today because I want to talk about the future. After all, the competition will end soon, but you still have a long life. What are your plans for the future?"

"I...haven't thought about this." Ekaterinny said matter-of-factly.

"You also know that I have many industries in the entertainment field in the United States. Are you interested?"

Ekaterini was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled: "Of course I'm interested, sir."

"Very good, I will make arrangements after the game is over."

After confirming her thoughts, Charlie was also relieved.This sweetheart might help herself make a lot of money in the future.

After seeing off Ekaterini, Charlie welcomed another uninvited guest, who turned out to be a sponsor representative from Hong Kong. Next to him was this year's new Hong Kong Miss Zhang Jiaer.

"Sorry, sir, I know what you mean by coming, but we are a famous beauty pageant, and the contestant you recommended...may be a little bit worse." Charlie said to the middle-aged man.

"Our boss wants her to enter the final fifteen, and in return we can provide additional funding."

Can I add money?
Charlie continued to shake his head: "Sorry, this organizing committee strictly prohibits money transactions."

"How can this be a money transaction? This is a friendly transaction. You are a tycoon in the American entertainment industry. Our entertainment industry in Hong Kong is very developed. We can definitely cooperate in the future."

Charlie shook his head again: "To be honest, if it were 20 years ago, I would be happy to accept this proposal."

The implication is that today's Xiangjiang has long since faded away.

"The Olympics will be next year, and the world's attention will be focused here. I think you know this, and we have also made plans for domestic entertainment. I don't know if this can impress you." The middle-aged man handed over the hand. business card.

Charlie took the business card and glanced at it hastily.

It turned out to be the Emperor.

I think this Zhang Jiaer may have a close relationship with a certain big shot, otherwise he wouldn't have used this relationship.

Charlie chose to accept the business card.

"We can get to know each other."

The top fifteen is just a false name and has no actual value.It's quite worthwhile to gain a network of people using this false name.

Although it is useless now, the situation will be completely different next year.

"Thank you for your compliment." The other party shook hands with Charlie.

After the other party left, Charlie began to make calculations. There were only so many pitfalls among the top fifteen, who should be allowed to leave?
He thought of the Indian beauty. After all, she still had sponsors in Hong Kong, but India had none... Moreover, she actually refused to join his entertainment company.

It's time to put her out.

·
"Sorry, sir, I shouldn't have shown disrespect to you." The next day, when Sarah found Charlie, she had become a completely different person, her expression full of sincerity.

She didn't have this attitude yesterday. She told Charlie that she had no possibility of going to Hollywood. Instead, she told Charlie how great Indian Bollywood musicals were.

"You are different from those amateur contestants. You are already 25 years old this year, and you have had performance experience before, so you should understand the reason."

"We are absolutely fair and impartial, and you obviously do not have the qualifications to enter the final fifteen. This is the fact. I must say sorry to you." Charlie will not say anything outrageous.

"Can you give me one more chance, sir." She clasped her hands together and begged.

Yesterday, she was still so confident and felt that she had a chance to win. But when the iron fist of reality hit her, she completely lost her pride.

For her, this is an opportunity that cannot be lost. She is already 25 years old, and among the beauties, she is considered an older one.

Charlie held his chin with his hand and glanced back and forth on her body: "Can you do yoga?"

After belly dancing, Charlie consulted professional yoga from Indian beauties.Charlie returns this ancient craft to its original role...

·
"I hope to be a link between beauty and the Olympics, so that more people can experience..."

In front of Charlie, Zhang Zilin nervously recited the prepared speech.

"Yes, it's much better than last time, but there are still some pronunciation issues that need to be corrected."

Charlie wants to make sure her English is fluent enough.

After a few days of hard work by Charlie, an American, Zhang Zilin's spoken language has undergone a radical change.

Zhang Zilin still doesn’t know that the questions Charlie asked are completely question and answer questions for the finals.

"Very good. As long as you can maintain your current status, you will definitely win the title of Miss World." Charlie nodded, looking at Zhang Zilin with an inexplicable sense of accomplishment as he tutored his daughter.

"Really?" Zhang Zilin narrowed her eyes when she laughed.

"Of course it's true. Also, remember not to smile like this all the time in public."

Zhang Zilin could only put on another expression that looked a little cold.

"That's enough." Charlie said.

Faced with Charlie's meticulous care, Zhang Zilin didn't know how to express her gratitude.

Without him, I wouldn't be as confident as I am now.

"As long as you win this title, you will be able to make a name for yourself internationally, your worth will also rise, and you will star in movies in Hollywood. Hollywood needs an Asian female star, and you will be the first one to truly develop an international reputation. "Charlie suddenly said at this time.

It should be said that there have always been many Asian actresses eager to conquer Hollywood, but only a handful of them are truly accepted by foreign audiences. Most of them are guest stars, or they are simply marginalized.

"Want to develop in Hollywood?" Zhang Zilin said silently.

For her, this is a big event. After all, she has to leave her hometown and travel across the oceans. You must know that she is only 23 years old at this time.

"Mr. Charlie, I need to discuss this matter with my family. Can you give me some time to think about it?" She said nervously.

"Of course, I will give you time." Charlie held Zhang Zilin's hand.

Zhang Zilin became even more nervous now. She knew what this meant. Although she was a little nervous, she did not break away from Charlie's hand.

Charlie rubbed the delicate joints on the back of her hand and watched her dodge her eyes, as if she wanted to see but didn't dare to look openly.

From her, Charlie saw the shadow of Taylor.

In contrast, Taylor is more innocent and ignorant. At this time, Taylor, like Faith, can say some bold words.Only the orientals can truly be called ladies.

"Sorry." She suddenly retracted her hand and shook her head.

"My family won't accept me having an American boyfriend."

"I can understand." Charlie nodded, knowing in his heart that the contract with her might not develop in the direction he expected.

The next day, Charlie went to meet two old friends, and that evening, the social dinner party officially began.

"It seems that handing over the organizing committee to this young man is the right choice." Julia whispered to Mr. Maple beside her.

"Besides, he does seem quite happy, doesn't he?" Maple looked at Charlie at the next table.

He was receiving toasts from the beauties, and he looked very popular.

Maple is also a member of the same group, so he naturally knows what this means.

"To be honest, even when I was young, I had to be inferior to that female singer. It's really hard for me, daughter?" he asked Ivanie next to him.

Ivanie still had a simple plaster on her leg, and before the fracture healed, she begged her father to take her here with her, just to find Charlie.

I originally wanted to give him a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock to myself.

"Damn it." Her beautiful eyes were about to burst into flames!
