Chapter 66 A taste of home(1/2)

 "A group of people forgotten by history?" Teresa Teng thought carefully, not knowing who Xu Luo was talking about. After thinking for less than ten seconds, she nodded and said, "I promise you."

"Thank you." Xu Luo thanked him seriously. "Although this group of people has been forgotten by history for too long, some people still remember them. I believe they will be remembered one day."

Then he said: "Please excuse me for a moment. My compatriots have come to welcome me. I can't just sit here and ignore them."

"You are busy first." Teresa Teng didn't care.

Xu Luo whispered something into Hu Yuan's ear. Hu Yuan nodded, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, and first confessed to the people at the table.

Then he took Xu Luo and toasted to each table.

"My compatriots, thank you for your hospitality." Xu Luo held the wine glass, "I feel the warmth of home and the enthusiasm of my compatriots. I would like to toast you a glass, please!"

"Please!" Everyone raised their wine glasses.

Although Xu Luo did not fully know these people, he was very polite.

When I meet someone older than me, I let them call me Aluo, and I don’t feel proud because I got a doctorate.

Even if these people are engaged in careers that have nothing to do with them.

After walking around, everyone felt that this guy was a good person.

Not only does what you say make people feel comfortable, but what you do also makes people feel comfortable.

After a toast, we returned to the table again.

Xu Luo poured a glass of wine and said, "Ms. Deng, I want to toast you and thank you for your beautiful singing."

"Thank you." Teresa Teng pursed her lips and smiled, "You should call me my English name Teresa, otherwise I will feel weird."

"In this case, you can call me A Luo or Mac." Xu Luo said, "I am twenty years old. If you call me Mr. Xu, I will feel like I am fifty or sixty years old."

Teresa Teng slightly pursed her lips and smiled: "Twenty years of glory? Are you only 20 now? Why don't I feel like it."

Indeed, she has met many people of this age.

But they all have one thing in common.

Just because I have little experience, I sometimes appear childish.

But Xu Luo said he was only 20, but he looked nothing like him.

Too sophisticated, very calm, and with high emotional intelligence.

Xu Luo smiled slightly and said: "Although I am only 20, I feel that I am not young at all, and my fellow businessmen in Hong Kong say that I am an old fox."

"Are you still in business?" Teresa Teng was even more surprised.

After the fake passport incident, she has been staying here and rarely paid attention to things there.

Xu Luo nodded, "I traveled from the mainland to seek refuge with a relative. Later, he immigrated and left a magazine to me, which I built based on his work."

He never hides his past, otherwise he would not let Lin Jianren hype him up.

"Then your family members are also in Hong Kong or in the Mainland?" Teresa Teng asked curiously.

Xu Luo shook his head slightly, "My parents have passed away long ago."

"Sorry." Teresa Teng immediately apologized, "I'm so sorry."

Xu Luo smiled and said: "There is nothing to apologize for. After all, birth, old age, illness and death are normal, and no one can leave this world alive."

Hearing this, Teresa Teng smiled and said, "You are so funny."

"Actually, being funny is not my label. You will definitely find out in the future." Xu Luo said, "But don't be afraid, because I am not a good person."

In fact, looking at what Teresa Teng is wearing now, he is already excited.

Maybe people may have to show off with their hands later.

Teresa Teng pursed her lips and smiled again.

The two get along very well.

Nor did he neglect the people around him.

When Xu Luo was chatting with Hu Yuan and others and laughing loudly, Teresa Teng chose to be the audience, showing a charming smile from time to time. When she encountered topics of interest, she also expressed her opinions quietly.

Soon, the banquet ended.

Xu Luo declined Hu Yuan's suggestion to send him back to the hotel.

And asked Hu Yuan to deliver Teresa Teng home safely.

Before leaving, I made an appointment with Teresa Teng on the time and place to meet tomorrow, and asked for her phone number.

Teresa Teng hesitated for a moment before writing down her phone number.

……

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning, Los Angeles Union Station.

Teresa Teng parked the car and came to the station door, where she saw Xu Luo who had been waiting there.

She hurried forward and said apologetically: "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay. In fact, I accidentally came a little earlier than you." Xu Luo said with a smile, "And you came neither early nor late, just at the right time."

Teresa Teng glanced left and right, and when she saw no one, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her behavior, Xu Luo explained: "I like a private space when I go out, and there is no one around me today."

"I just..." Teresa Teng wanted to say something more, but she didn't know how to say it.

Because she really likes to be private when going out.

Xu Luo changed the topic and pointed to the railway in front of him, "Have you seen that railway?"

Teresa Teng nodded.

Xu Luo continued: "More than a hundred years ago, tens of thousands of Chinese workers participated in the construction of the Pacific Railway in the United States, but they have been ignored and forgotten for a long time."

"So, I want to ask you to use your singing to bring them home."

"Sing here?" Teresa Teng hesitated.

Xu Luo shook his head, "Of course not. When you mention this next time you hold a concert, I believe they will be able to hear it."

Teresa Teng suddenly realized.

Xu Luo is not specialized in historical records, but for him, this incident can enhance his status in the hearts of Chinese Americans.

The so-called reputation naturally needs to be improved.

Because one day he will come to the United States to do business.

What's more, his original intention was to ask Teresa Teng out to have a meal together.

As he said, he is not a good person.

So he said again: "Have you driven here? Let's go out for a walk now."

"Okay." Teresa Teng did not refuse, not to mention it was not easy to refuse.

The two walked around Los Angeles and saw that it was almost time for dinner. Xu Luo added: "It's almost time for dinner now. I know a good restaurant and have reserved a location. It's a good time to go there."

Teresa Teng: "..."

My heart says you have arranged everything, what else can I say?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In a private room of a French restaurant.

After Xu Luo asked Teresa Teng for her opinion, he ordered in proficient French, including medium rare steak and red wine.

I don’t know why, but seeing this scene, Teresa Teng suddenly thought of another person.

It's just that the person was rude.

When the waiter brought the wine and food, Xu Luo poured the wine and said: "Actually, I personally feel that red wine is the same as love. All the secrets lie in time. Only by fermenting with care can you harvest good wine."

"And they are all full of sweet and sour flavors. Sometimes they are romantic and confusing; sometimes they are heart-breaking and unforgettable."

"I can't tell you are young, but you have a lot of insights into life." Teresa Teng said with a slight smile.

Xu Luo said frankly, "Even though I'm young, I'm not young at all. I'd like to toast you."

The two raised their glasses and clinked their glasses.

Teresa Teng sniffed the aroma of the wine before taking a sip.

Suddenly I felt that what he said was right, it was both sweet and sour.

And Xu Luo didn't drink from cows. He also behaved well. Even when he was eating, he was extremely gentlemanly and didn't make any strange noises.

Not to mention making very exaggerated movements.

According to the rules of French restaurants, wait until the first course is finished before serving the second course.

Both of them tasted every dish with great elegance.

Teresa Teng felt that the whole process was extremely pleasant.
