For the Li Congxin family, Christmas in 1998 could be said to be the worst Christmas ever.
Old Pi fell down, Hope certainly had no intention of celebrating the festival, and Mindy was sensible enough not to ask for a festival, or maybe she didn't care about any festival at all, right?
After all, her father, who cheated on his daughter, never treated her as a normal little girl since she was a child.
As for Li Congxin, he is even more indifferent.
He had also celebrated festivals like Christmas in his previous life when he was young and free, but he had the same mentality as most Chinese people who celebrated foreign festivals.
It doesn't matter what the holiday is or what it symbolizes.
After everyone's foreign festivals reach Huaxia, they will automatically evolve into food festivals, shopping festivals and Valentine's Day.
To put it simply, they don't care what the festival is about, they are just looking for an excuse to eat, drink and have fun.
For a holiday that I have never cared about, Li Congxin certainly would not delay business at this juncture just to celebrate it.
Ever since, the whole villa seemed deserted.
Unlike Huaxia's Spring Festival, which can last for more than a month, Christmas, even as the most grand festival in the West, only lasts for three days.
December 26th is also the last day of the three days of Christmas, known as Carnival Night.
Li Congxin dressed up early and came to New York TV station to participate in the variety show called "The Real You".
Because the program was broadcast live, there was not much preparation work. In order to ensure the authenticity of the program, the TV station did not even arrange for Li Congxin to get to know anyone other than the host, and the live broadcast started directly.
In this show, Li Congxin finally experienced how vicious the assistant actors are.
After some simple openings and introductions, the program immediately entered the question-and-answer session. A fat, white man in his twenties raised his hand first. After taking the microphone, he directly asked a very aggressive question.
"Mr. Clark." The white fat man had a smiling face, but when he opened his mouth, his poisonous tongue was fully exposed. "As far as I know, you are still a high school student in school, so I would like to ask, you did not study hard and chose to write a book. Although you succeeded, don't you think your approach was wrong?"
Hearing Fatty Bai ask such a pointed question as soon as he opened his mouth, the host couldn't help but look at Li Congxin with some worry.
If it were an ordinary guest, he wouldn't be too worried, but Li Congxin is too young after all. He didn't want today's live show to turn into a fight.
Li Congxin gave the host a reassuring look, and then said directly, "First of all, you said that I don't study hard, which shows that you don't know me well. In the midterm exam this semester, I ranked first in every subject in the entire school year. I believe the same will be true in the final exam."
Li Congxin's words choked the fat man for a moment.
The prerequisite for his previous questioning of whether Li Congxin's approach was correct was that Li Congxin "didn't study hard", but when Li Congxin directly revealed his own results, his subsequent questions became completely unnecessary to answer.
Received Impression Points+6 from Gerald Walker!
Received from...
In an instant, Impression Points in the background refreshed the screen so fast that even Li Congxin could not clearly see the strength of the human being, so he simply blocked it and waited at leisure for these vicious tongues to continue asking questions.
It was the same fat white man who seemed to be unwilling to be criticized, so he asked again, "What about sports? You must know that physical exercise is very important during school, and as far as I know, you seldom participated in the school's sports club activities during your studies, or you did not participate at all."
"Do you think this is really healthy for your physical and mental development, or do you think sports are not important?"
This damn fat man has a very bad conscience!
His question has obviously risen to the level of interpretation of the education system. Let's not mention the advantages and disadvantages of the Western education system for the time being, but it is an education system generally recognized by the America people. Once Li Congxin starts a discussion with him on this issue, it will be really reasonable and unclear.
The host on the other side felt relieved after seeing Li Congxin's previous answer. This time he was not in a hurry to smooth things over. He just said a few words that were neither salty nor bland in order to buy Li Congxin some time to think.
And Li Congxin took advantage of the precious time that the host bought for him and started... taking off his clothes?
Seeing Li Congxin's sudden show of action, even the host was fascinated.
What is he going to do?
At this time, he saw that Li Congxin had taken off his coat, revealing the half-sleeved shirt underneath and the well-proportioned muscles that a half-sleeved shirt could not hide at all.
Among the habitual crowd in the venue, there was a sudden gasp of air, and a few of the nymphos even screamed with excitement.
Patting his chest muscles, Li Congxin glanced at the opponent's fat body again. "I don't think you are qualified to question me in this aspect of sports."
As the saying goes, do as the Romans do, but Wai Guoren doesn't understand what humility is, so Li Congxin also directly criticized her without any politeness in the show.
Fatty Bai's face turned slightly red after being scolded by Li Congxin, but this was a show after all, so he couldn't just rush in and solve it with force, right?
The most important thing is that after seeing the terrifying muscles of Li Congxin, he felt that he should not be able to defeat this young oriental man.
The first one's venomous tongue went out, and the second one followed closely. This was a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses who looked polite. His question was much more professional, "Mr. Clark, your work has been criticized as worthless by many well-known figures in the literary world, and they even said it was **. What do you think of this?"
"I don't look."
Li Congxin's answer was beyond everyone's expectations, "As long as readers recognize my work, it's fine. I don't plan to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, so why do I care what they think?"
"What's more, everyone has different preferences. Even Franklin only has the portrait printed on the sword that everyone loves."
The gentle middle-aged man still refused to give in after being rebuffed. "Since Mr. Clark doesn't care about the opinions of scholars, let's change the topic."
"It has been reported before that your books are very addictive, and some people have even successfully detoxed from drugs because of them. As a result, drug rehabilitation centers across Europe have become your loyal customers."
Hearing this, not only Li Congxin felt confused, but even the host felt a little baffled.
This guy is famous for his sharp tongue. Why did his style suddenly change today?
At this moment, the gentle middle-aged man suddenly changed the subject and said, "So Mr. Clark, can we say that your book is a kind of spiritual drug that can replace drugs!?"
As soon as these words came out, it caused thousands of waves.
Such heart-wrenching words almost forced Li Congxin into a blind corner. For a moment, everyone present focused their attention on Li Congxin, wanting to see how he would respond.
