[Comprehensive] Sherlock is going to be kicked by a donkey

America is an amazing country.

Josie has always thought so. She studied in the UK in her last life, and she also has friends who study in the United States. The biggest difference between them is their clothes.

Josie really doesn't understand how Americans can dress so casually, almost every day is a pullover and black leggings, or a top with minimal fabric and shorts, except for a city like New York that pays attention to appearance Except for office workers in California, or Hollywood stars in California, it seems that all Americans have the same style, ah, except for some punks and western cowboys.

However, the United States also has many attractions that attract her, especially the country has many excellent architects, among which Tom Mayne is one of her favorite American architects, and she very much hopes to take this opportunity to go to California Opportunity to visit a Tom? Mayne's design works.

Because she didn’t arrive, Josie, who was still underage, came to the United States by plane accompanied by her mother Carly. They arrived in New York City first. Her first competition and joint art exhibition were held in New York, with a five-day competition day , before heading to Los Angeles, California for the finals.

Josie is very confident that she will enter the finals, so she also booked the plane ticket from New York to Los Angeles early.

Fatigue and jet lag after the long-distance flight made Josie lie down on the bed and fell asleep when she arrived at the hotel. When she woke up, it was already evening outside. Josie got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, opened the curtains, Outside the glass window is the brightly lit Manhattan of New York. The hotel was booked by Carly in advance. It is located on Fifth Avenue. The price is expensive but the location is excellent. Outside the window is the Rockefeller Center and the south of Central Park. The most important thing The fifth avenue below the hotel is the world famous high-end shopping district.

It's so convenient for my mother to book the hotel in this location for her shopping.

Josie thought interestingly. She looked at the vehicles coming and going on the street, as well as the endless crowds. This was her first time in New York. Compared to London, coming to New York is like a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. People, this city is young, full of vitality, and has a strong degree of tolerance. It has refreshed the skyline in the history of world architecture over and over again, and changed people's perception of high-rise buildings.

"What a wonderful city..." Josie said to herself, then thought of New York, which was destroyed a lot due to the war in the Avengers, and shook her head again, "It's a pity..."

"What a pity?" Carly came out of the bathroom. She had already packed all her luggage while Josie was sleeping. She changed into a light brown H-line skirt and nude high heels, and she was facing the dressing table now. Wearing earrings on the mirror, "Baby, go and change into the skirt I prepared for you, I will take you to visit my college classmates tonight."

Carly graduated from New York University, so it is not surprising that she has old friends in the United States, but Josie has never heard that Carly said that she will stop by to meet friends when she comes to the United States, so she asked while changing her skirt: "Who is it?" Huh? I never heard you say that before."

"Chris Lindhart and his wife, Marianne, we were college classmates. Chris and I used to have the same major. We were both in business school, but Marianne majored in film and television art, and Chris was Lindhart. The son of the chairman of the DeHart Real Estate Group, he inherited his father's business a few years ago, and I still keep in touch with Marianne, and I heard that I came to the United States and stayed in New York for a few days, so I asked me out for a get-together." Card After putting on the earrings, Li motioned Josie to sit down in front of the dressing table. She helped Josie comb her princess hair briefly, and then urged: "Go and brush your teeth, and then go and change the ones I put by the door. Pumps, let me help you find a lipstick with a lighter shade, do you like coral color? You should wear a light pink dress with a pinkish coral color."

"It's all right, just help me choose." After brushing her teeth quickly, Josie came out to change her shoes, then obediently opened her mouth slightly and let Carly put on her lipstick.

"My daughter is getting more and more beautiful, and I don't know which young man will marry her in the future."

"Will you be reluctant?"

"Close your lips," Carly helped Josie put on her lipstick, then put on her coat and put on her handbag, "Of course, but I think your father will be even crazier."

Josie laughed. "Oh, Dad doesn't want me to marry anyone."

"Fathers are like this, they always think their daughter is their little lover," Carly and Josie went out and walked to the hotel elevator, "When I married your father, he also secretly complained to me why Your grandfather always dislikes him."

Carly's words ignited Josie's soul of gossip. Just when she wanted to get more anecdotes about her parents from Carly's mouth, the elevator door opened. Carly walked into the elevator first, but Josie As he walked in, he noticed two very probing gazes from the two men standing in the elevator.

One of the men was dressed in an orthodox suit with a gentle expression and looked like a nice guy, while the other was... bald with an eye patch.

It's really like a marinated egg.

Josie complained in her heart, but she felt that the two people were familiar. Josie didn't dare to be superheroes, villains and secret agents everywhere, so she began to read the inner activities of these two people, trying to know Point useful information.

[This little girl looks a little strange, let Coulson investigate later...] Coulson and Fury looked at each other, [Ah, it seems that this little girl really has a problem...] Fury looked up She touched her neck with her hand, 【The necklace she is wearing is a meteorite. ] Although Coulson didn't hear what Fury was thinking, he understood Fury's hand gestures, so he glanced at Josie's neck projected on the elevator door, 【Is there something wrong with her necklace?It looked like an ordinary meteorite. ] Josie and Carly stood diagonally behind them. She listened to the inner activities of the two men, and probably guessed the identities of the two men.

Although she has forgotten the specific names of the agents in the Avengers, but this braised egg...ah, no, she still hasn't forgotten that this bald man with a blindfold is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. , the agent named Coulson, if I remember correctly, is also a very important figure in the Avengers.

The temperature in the elevator was a little low, and Josie tightened her coat tightly.

The VIP dining room on the third floor arrived. Carly walked out first, and Josie followed her. When she got out of the elevator, the room card fell out of Josie's coat pocket. Coulson bent down to help her pick it up. Handing it back to her, Josie thanked her, then turned her head and followed Carly's footsteps to the private room.

The elevator door closed again after three seconds, this time the destination was the parking lot on the first basement floor.

"The room number is 1506. I'm going to call up the hotel's check-in record." Coulson said.

"I'm still more interested in the meteorite she wears around her neck. It's best to take it back for analysis."

Coulson smiled, "Maybe it's the new trend of young girls?"

Fury choked, "You're not too young, Coulson."

When Josie and Carly walked into the private room, there were already five or six people seated. One of them, a brown-haired lady who looked about the same age as Carly, stood up after seeing Carly, and walked towards them excitedly. , followed by a well-dressed man.

"Oh, Carly!" The lady stepped forward and hugged Carly. It seems that she is the Marianne Lindhart that Carly said. "I haven't seen you for almost ten years. How are you in London?" ?”

"I'm fine, how are you and Chris?"

The man walking behind Marianne was Chris Lindhart, who also gave Carly a polite hug, "We are all fine, Carly, long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see." Carly rarely saw her old classmate, and she was obviously in a very good mood.

Marian Lindhart saw Josie standing behind Carly sharply, "Is this your daughter?"

"Yes." Carly smiled and took Josie's hand and introduced her to them.

"I remember it was Josie?"

"Yes, you saw it, when she was just born."

"Oh! Yes! Yes! After all these years, when she was a baby, Josie looked just like you, with the same blond hair and blue eyes, what a beautiful girl, you are so happy, Carly , I also have three children who are about the same age as Josie, one boy and two girls, they went to summer camp, so they didn't come today, if they come, I can introduce Josie to them."

After Josie greeted the Lindharts with a smile, she took a seat with Carly. Chris Lindhart introduced them to the other people sitting at the table one by one. They were all the Lindharts. The friends in the shopping mall, Carly herself also had a background in business, so she chatted with them quickly. Halfway through the chat, Carly saw that there was still an empty seat next to Josie, so she wondered, "Anyone else wants to come?"

"Oh, that's for Mr. Stark," Chris Lindhart replied, looking up at his watch, "he should be here soon, he flew over from Los Angeles this afternoon to attend this year's New weapons exhibition, I will invite him to have dinner with him, he is a good friend of mine."

"Los Angeles, California?"

"Yes, there is only one Los Angeles in America."

"What a coincidence, Josie is going there to participate in the final five days later."

Carly's words aroused Marianne Lindhart's interest, "Is it the art competition you told me about on the phone earlier? I heard that there is an art exhibition in New York? I must visit it when I have time."

"Yes, it's a joint art exhibition. Qiao Qian has loved drawing since she was a child, and she also said that she wants to be an architect in the future."

Chris Lindhart was amused by these words, and said to Josie: "If you become an architect in the future, can you consider coming to me to be the designer of the architectural design department of Lindhart Real Estate Group?"

As far as Josie knows, Lindhart Real Estate Group is one of the top real estate developers in the United States, and can be personally invited by the boss of the group to be a designer—even if Mr. Chris Lindhart is joking. After all, Josie was quite happy, "It's easy to say, if I'm capable enough, I will definitely do it."

Josie didn't expect that her mother, Carly, was very well-connected in the United States. She quietly watched Carly's ability to communicate with others, and suddenly felt a little emotional. If Carly gave up being an ordinary An ordinary housewife who chooses to go into business has the ability to become a very successful strong woman, but now, Josie can only say that the power of love and family affection is really powerful.

Just as Josie was lost in thought, the door of the private room was opened again, and Josie's eyes followed the crowd to the person who came in. This time, a man who appeared to be 30 years old walked in. He was wearing Wearing a dark blue suit, with a characteristic mustache, short dark brown hair combed neatly, and a pair of big brown eyes, he glanced at the audience and then slapped Chris Lindhart call.

"Chris, I didn't know you had so many people over for dinner—where do I sit?"

Chris Lindhart stood up, stretched out his hand to indicate the position next to Josie, and said with a smile, "I thought you would like a lot of people, Tony, don't worry, there is your place - Josie side."

"Woohoo! Josie? Is that a beautiful woman?" Tony Stark walked towards the empty seat, but was stunned when he saw Josie.

Josie realized that this person might be Tony Stark, who would become Iron Man in the future, when he walked in, so she directly started reading his heart, and accidentally heard Tony's slander.

[So young? ! 】

Josie rolled her eyes in her heart, Tony Stark's flirtatious nature is really not for bragging.

"Oh, for God's sake, pack up your crap, Tony," said Chris Lindhart disapprovingly, "Josie is only 14 years old, and her mother, Ms. Carly Jonathan, is sitting in her seat." next to him." Then he looked at Carly again, and cast a sorry look, "Sorry, Tony is not good at this, the girlfriends who changed are almost catching up with his changing clothes, but believe me, he is definitely a Nice guy."

Carly was dissatisfied with Tony's frivolous behavior, "anplease."

Tony raised his eyebrows, sat down with his suit jacket unbuttoned, "British accent, I like it."

Josie sat up straight, turned her head to face Tony, blocked Tony's view of Carly, and smiled, "Do you want a cheeseburger?"

Obviously Josie's words puzzled Tony, and he looked puzzled.

Josie just smiled.

She couldn't believe it, even a Big Mac cheeseburger couldn't stop Shani Stark's mouth.
