Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot
Chapter 61: Human Relationships and Social Skills?
"I think you're very good-looking, you shouldn't be so badly homeless as to be."
Irving scratched his head and quickly changed the subject, asking, "Is something wrong with you?"
"It's just a minor inconvenience, I can handle it." The girl shrugged, her attitude quite optimistic.
Sensing the goodwill emanating from Irving, the girl extended her hand to him and introduced herself, "Hey, my name is Judy, what's yours?"
Just call me Irving.
"Okay, Kyrie, thank you for your generosity." Judy forced a smile. "Don't worry, I'm not actually alone. I have a whole team behind me."
It would be very dangerous for someone to beg and perform on the streets of Miami.
Don't worry, I know that.
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore." Owen nodded and then prepared to turn and leave.
But seeing his handsome face, Judy instinctively stopped him, "Aren't you going to stay a little longer? I was just about to sing you a song to thank you."
"No, I have an appointment with someone in a little while and I have something to do. It takes more than 30 minutes by subway to get to the Miami Financial Center from here, and I'm afraid I won't make it in time."
"Miami Financial Center?!"
Judy was a little surprised. "You work there? That's amazing!"
"Of course not, don't get me wrong, I just recently got a movie role, so I'm going to play some minor parts..."
Before Irving could finish speaking, Judy's eyes lit up instantly when she heard the words "movie character".
"Wow, you're amazing! I knew you were so handsome, you must be an actor! Even if you're not an actor, you must be a model or something."
Judy put down her guitar, her eyes shining with even brighter admiration.
Unlike other cities in the United States, Miami's film and television industry is not very large, and resources are generally concentrated at the top.
This means that the requirements for appearance are much higher here than in other regions, and it is also much more difficult to become an actor here.
"I think it's alright. Actually, I got this role because of luck..." Owen said with a smile.
Seeing that Judy was very attractive, Owen was slightly taken aback, and then a thought flashed through his mind.
"Judy, you're so beautiful, have you ever considered becoming an actress?"
"An actor? Oh, come on, come on." Judy waved her hand and laughed. "Being an actor isn't just about being good-looking."
"I'd like to give it a try, but I definitely won't have the chance..."
"How can we not give it a try?" After thinking for a moment, Irving immediately invited the other person to go to the Miami Financial Center with him.
He planned to introduce her to Walter and see if he could get her a role.
While there are indeed many beautiful women in Miami, he has rarely seen anyone with Judy's style.
After a series of enthusiastic invitations, Judy reluctantly agreed.
The two boarded the subway together, chatting and laughing.
From the conversation, Irving learned that Judy wasn't actually homeless; she had just fallen out with her family because she wanted to pursue a career in music.
Moreover, Irving could sense from Judy's words that her family was very well-off, and her parents and sisters treated her very well.
The only change was that her parents divorced when she was eighteen, and her father came to America alone to pursue his American dream.
Judy didn't want her father to be so lonely, so she came to America with him.
However, to her surprise, the cruelty of America far exceeded her expectations.
They had only been in the United States for a short time when the immigration authorities started giving them all sorts of trouble because of their visas, and it took them tens of thousands of dollars to finally resolve the issue.
Aside from visa issues, starting a business in America is far more difficult than they imagined.
To alleviate her father's stress, Judy had to temporarily give up her studies, working part-time and busking on the streets, staying in the cheapest motels.
Even so, life still did not show them any mercy.
Because of the explosive popularity of TickTok overseas, her father's business was severely impacted and quickly became insolvent.
To help her father pay off his debts, Judy sold her jewelry and the trust fund her mother had left her.
But no sooner had the debt been paid off than her father was imprisoned for causing trouble while using drugs.
To raise the bail money, Judy has no choice but to join the ranks of homeless street performers, begging and performing on the streets every day.
After hearing Judy's story, Irving couldn't help but sigh, his heart filled with emotion.
A broken family, a strong-willed woman, a drug-addicted father, a divorced mother...
What a pitiful woman.
Fortunately, Judy is still optimistic at least for now.
"Hey Owen, do you really think I could get a role in a movie?"
Even though she got on the subway with Irving, Judy still looked suspicious.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Kyrie Irving is so handsome, he doesn't look like a bad guy at all.
She believed the man was a conman who used the pretext of "becoming an actress" to take her to a remote place with malicious intent.
However, Judy soon realized that she might have been worrying unnecessarily.
Because Irving really did bring her to the Miami Financial Center.
And they even walked in openly and brazenly.
Judging from the respectful expressions on the faces of the black security guards at the entrance, Irving's status seems to be quite high.
Meanwhile, when greeted by the security guard, Irving simply nodded and didn't seem to care much.
All he could think about was how to introduce Judy to Walter later.
At that moment, he was completely unaware of Judy's reaction.
The two took the elevator directly to room 5421 on the 11th floor.
As soon as he arrived at the company entrance, Walter quickly walked over, opened his arms, and gave Irving a big bear hug.
"Oh, my leading man, you've finally arrived!" Little Walter patted Irving on the back enthusiastically. "How's it going? Did you sign the contract?"
"Of course, I was just about to give it to you." Irving gave Walter a warm hug as well.
After exchanging pleasantries, he opened the backpack behind him, took out the already signed contract, and handed it to Walter.
"That's fantastic, Owen!" Walter exclaimed excitedly, glancing at the signature at the bottom of the last page of the contract. "With you on board, I'm confident this movie will be a huge hit!"
"Wait, who is this beautiful lady?" Little Walter came to his senses and then noticed that there was a cool and beautiful punk-style woman standing next to Owen.
"This is Judy, my friend," Owen quickly introduced. "Mr. Walter, I brought her here because I need your help."
"Do you see any suitable roles for her in the movies? Even a minor, supporting role would be fine. She's having some financial difficulties lately..."
Little Walter's eyes darted back and forth between Irving and Judy, then he seemed to understand something, suddenly realized something, and clapped his hands.
"I understand! Yes, yes, yes! It's just a minor role, right? I'll arrange it right away, I get it..."
After saying that, Walter raised an eyebrow and gave Irving a look.
