"Hey, buddy, why are you looking for me so late at night? Hiss..."
As soon as the call connected, strange sounds came from the other end. As an experienced player in the dating scene, Lin Hao naturally knew what it was.
"Looking for you to come out for a drink. I'm at a bar over in Hollywood."
"Drinking is something you should have said earlier. I already have plans. Find someone else. Hiss, baby, gently."
Lin Hao listened to the sounds from the phone and was speechless.
"Forget it, I knew you weren't reliable. I'll drink by myself."
After Lin Hao finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Faintly, a sentence came from the other end, "Little slut, let's see how I deal with you."
With no one to accompany him, Lin Hao had no choice but to walk into the bar alone.
Lin Hao wanted to drink because he wanted to celebrate. If history didn't change, then by the beginning of June, Lin Hao would have tens of millions of us dollars in his account.
Unfortunately, Allen was too unreliable. As soon as he walked into the bar, the loud heavy metal music blasted into his ears.
The bar was very lively. Hollywood is never short of beautiful women, especially at night. Inside the bar, a group of beautiful women wearing revealing clothes, with hot bodies, ample chests, and a lot of white skin, were dancing to the music.
As a regular at nightclubs, Lin Hao was naturally familiar with the scene. He ordered a cocktail and sat down. It was only a little past 9 o'clock, still early. The atmosphere in the bar wouldn't reach its peak until at least 12 o'clock.
Lin Hao didn't try to pick up any Posh Spice in the bar. He just quietly drank by himself. Most of the girls in the bar were foreign, and it wasn't easy for a Chinese guy to pick up girls here.
By 10 o'clock, Lin Hao was already thinking of going back, feeling a bit bored. Suddenly, a group of people walked into the bar, and one of them bumped into Lin Hao, spilling the drink on him.
"Excuse me, are you alright?"
Lin Hao had drunk a bit and staggered when he was bumped. Hearing the voice, he looked up and saw a beautiful woman with long blonde hair, blue eyes, a tall and graceful figure with beautiful curves, long and elegant legs, an incredibly ample chest, and a pair of peach buttocks. Her figure was simply stunningly beautiful, and she was looking at him with an apologetic expression.
I won't post a real photo, you can go look.
Lin Hao looked at the person who bumped into him and was slightly stunned, not because she was beautiful, but because she was too famous in the later years. She wasn't a celebrity, but she was famous: Trump's daughter, Ivanka.
That's right, it was Ivanka. She should still be in college now and wouldn't graduate until 2004. He didn't know how she ended up here.
"It's nothing, just my clothes got wet," Lin Hao said, regaining his composure.
"Ivanka, what's wrong?" The people who came with Ivanka stopped and asked.
Hearing the voice, Lin Hao looked to the side and saw another famous person, Paris Hilton, and next to her was Nicky Hilton. This pair of sisters were very famous, known as socialites.
Compared to Ivanka, who looked like a proper young lady, these two sisters were dressed much more revealingly. With nightclub makeup, their clothes couldn't even contain their alluring figures.
It was only 2002, and these two sisters weren't the notorious figures they would become later, especially Paris, whose sex tape hadn't been exposed yet. Their image was still good, and both were still young, beautiful girls. Besides them, there were some other people, both male and female, but Lin Hao didn't recognize any of them.
"I accidentally bumped into someone," Ivanka said apologetically.
"I thought it was something big. Handsome, you wouldn't mind this little thing, would you? Come dance with us. It'll dry off soon. When you're out having fun, you should be happy."
Paris looked at Lin Hao. Although he was Asian, she didn't quite get it, but she saw that Lin Hao looked pretty good and actively invited him to join them.
Lin Hao naturally wouldn't refuse this offer. He was feeling bored anyway.
On the bar's dance floor, the Hilton Sisters were wildly swaying their bodies. One was 21 and the other 19, but you could already see their future style. Paris had already been named the "New York Girl Trendsetter" and had a supporting role in a movie this year. With the halo of the Hilton Family, she was already considered a minor celebrity.
"Sorry about earlier," Ivanka said to Lin Hao, holding a wine glass at the booth.
"Haha, it's all minor stuff. This is normal in a bar. Cheers." Lin Hao clinked glasses with Ivanka.
"Cheers."
Through chatting, Lin Hao learned that their group was celebrating Paris's appearance in "Nine Lives" tonight. After dinner, they came to the bar to have fun.
Everyone who came tonight was Paris's good friend, all from the same circle. They had known each other since childhood.
It turned out they were a group of second-generation rich kids. Although Lin Hao didn't recognize the others, he guessed they were also from some of the big families in the United States.
"Wishing the box office great success."
"Thank you."
After Paris finished dancing and came back, Lin Hao proactively congratulated her, and they had a drink together.
After drinking, Lin Hao said goodbye and left. After all, they weren't familiar with each other, and having a drink together was the limit. Lin Hao agreed to stay, only because he was curious.
After finding a designated driver and returning home, Lin Hao took a shower and went to sleep.
For the next period, besides attending classes, Lin Hao spent his time collecting information about this era. Although he had been reborn, there were still many things about 2002 that he wasn't clear about.
Time quickly reached May 31st, the opening date of the World Cup. The atmosphere of the World Cup was everywhere in the school. Many people made plans to watch the games together.
All the major bars in Los Angeles were packed. Even though the opening ceremony was at noon due to the time difference, the bars were still full.
Lin Hao himself was naturally very concerned. He had bet 250,000 us dollars. It could be said that his entire fortune was riding on it. If something unexpected happened because of his rebirth, Lin Hao would cry his eyes out. The money was a small matter, but if this changed, then what about other things?
At Lin Hao's house, the living room was now full of people. Because the bars outside were all packed, and other places to watch the game were also full, at Allen's suggestion, many people in the class who liked football came to Lin Hao's house.
They really weren't being polite, Lin Hao thought, looking at this noisy group of people. Fortunately, they knew to bring their own drinks and food.
The opening ceremony was held in Seoul, South Korea. The first match was between the defending champions France and Senegal. The French team was very popular and, along with Brazil, was the biggest favorite to win this World Cup.
The French team's offense was fierce, but they unexpectedly lost to Senegal in an upset, losing 0-1. This caused a group of people who came to watch the game to wail and howl. Many people had placed bets.
No one would have expected that France, a big favorite, would lose to Senegal, causing the first upset of this World Cup.
