Pauline Gao Dai is the heroine in "Modern Times". She married a businessman at the age of 16, divorced in 1931, and then met Chaplin in 1932, and a week later, the two got together. She married Chaplin in 1936, and divorced Chaplin in 1942. Now Pauline Gao Dai should have known Chaplin for a while, and the two have just fallen in love.

Chen Qiang and Chaplin chatted for a few words, and Chaplin readily agreed to the request for a photo. The club staff brought a camera and took photos of the two on the spot.

...

Meeting Chaplin, a famous person, made Chen Qiang feel in a good mood.

After saying goodbye to Chaplin, Chen Qiang continued to visit the Los Angeles Sports Club. He wandered around layer by layer, and when he finally arrived on the eleventh floor, it was already afternoon tea time.

Many people took the elevator to leave, and they were obviously preparing to enjoy afternoon tea.

"There are two more layers. I'll go down to have afternoon tea after I've finished watching it." Chen Qiang said in his heart.

After visiting the eleventh floor, he did not wait for the elevator, but went directly through the stairs and climbed to the twelfth floor.

There is an indoor swimming pool on the twelfth floor, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and transparent glass ceilings. Here, you can not only have a bird's eye view of the city scenery of Los Angeles, but also see the blue sky and white clouds and enjoy the warm sunshine.

If it were in the future, it would be not uncommon for swimming pools on the top floor of high-rise buildings. Not to mention the twelfth floor, even the twentieth floor is not high. There would even be a protruding reinforced glass swimming pool in high-rise buildings, which makes people feel like they are swimming in the air. However, in the 1930s, it was rare to build an indoor swimming pool on the twelfth floor. Even in the United States, it would only appear in big cities.

"Puchi" sounded, someone was swimming in the swimming pool.

"There are still people swimming. I think everyone is going to have afternoon tea." Chen Qiang said in his heart, and then he walked into the swimming pool.

In the swimming pool, some people were indeed splashing, but Chen Qiang felt that the person was not swimming, but more like he was struggling.

"Someone is drowning!" Chen Qiang suddenly realized this. He immediately took off his shoes and watch, and then jumped out of the pool.

Chen Qiang swam over and grabbed the man. At this time, he felt that the man was very light in weight and looked like a child.

Then Chen Qiang drowned and pulled the man ashore. Then, after looking carefully, he found that the other party was indeed a child.

This is a girl whose body is just beginning to develop. She is probably only eleven or twelve years old. She wears a swimming cap and has a few strands of dark brown hair exposed inside, which is messy and sticks to her face, but looks very beautiful.

At this time, the girl had fainted due to drowning and suffocation.

"You have to save people quickly!" Chen Qiang didn't care much and tried to press the girl's chest, hoping that the girl could spit out the water.

But the effect was not very good. The girl did not vomit water and was still unconscious. Chen Qiang had to bend down and give the girl artificial respiration.

"Puchi!" The girl choked out with a mouthful of water, and then kept coughing.

"I finally woke up!" Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl coughed for a long time and slowly recovered. She turned to look at Chen Qiang.

"You saved me?" the girl asked.

Chen Qiang pointed to the wet clothes on his body, nodded, and asked, "You almost died!"

"You've also had artificial respiration with me?" the girl said, and her face turned red.

Chen Qiang didn't know how to answer for a moment. He just now just wanted to save people and did not consider other things.

The girl looked aggrieved, as if she was about to cry.

"You took my first kiss away!" the girl said, tears coming to her feet.

"Wait a minute, I'm trying to save you, this shouldn't count!" Chen Qiang immediately defended. If he knew what to say in English, he would definitely add a sentence first, "You must not mess with your brain."

The girl also understood that Chen Qiang saved her life, so she was not responsible for it. She could only hold tears in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great loss.

Chen Qiang immediately changed the topic: "Why are your adults swimming here by themselves? Also, there should be swimming coaches here? How can those swimming coaches leave their posts without permission and leave you as a child here! This is too dangerous."

The girl suddenly realized something, and she immediately spoke, "Sir, don't go to coach Brewer. If he knew that I almost drowned here, he would drive me away."

The girl said, looking at Chen Qiang with her pitiful big eyes and putting on a pleading expression.

Facing the girl's appearance, Chen Qiang couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted. He sighed: "Okay, I have to find a dry towel now and wipe it dry. But you can't stay here anymore. You have to leave the swimming pool with me to avoid drowning again."

The girl nodded and said, "I have a dry towel there, I'll get it for you!"

The girl said as she stood up, ran to a room next to her, then brought a stack of towels and handed them all to Chen Qiang.

"You are quite familiar with this place and can find a towel." Chen Qiang took the towel and began to wipe his body dry.

The girl said, "My job is to count towels here."

"Work? How old are you this year? Do you also hire child labor in the United States?" Chen Qiang asked subconsciously.

"I just celebrated my eleventh birthday. And I am not a child laborer. I just used the summer vacation to work here for 5 cents a day." The girl replied.

"5 cents, so little?" Chen Qiang asked subconsciously.

"It's already quite a bit, and Coach Brewer allows me to use the pool here when there are no guests, so I can practice swimming here." The girl replied.

"It's better if you practice swimming, there are others present. You almost drowned just now." Chen Qiang advised.

"It was just an accident just now. My calf cramps were cramped. I wouldn't do this normally." The girl said.

"It seems that you have not done warm-up exercises before swimming. Before swimming, you must do warm-up exercises, otherwise your body will easily cramp when it enters the water." Chen Qiang replied.

"Sir, do you have any good swimming?" the girl asked curiously.

"Of course." Chen Qiang nodded: "I'm an athlete."

"Are you an athlete? Are you here in Los Angeles to participate in the Olympics?" the girl asked.

"Yes. I'm here to participate in the Olympics." Chen Qiang replied with a smile.

"Then have you won the medal?" The girl looked curious.

"I got it! I won several gold medals." Chen Qiang gestured a circle with his hands, and then said, "It's so big!"

"I don't believe it!" The girl obviously felt that Chen Qiang was bragging: "If you really win the Olympic gold medal, take it out and show it to me!"

Chen Qiang looked at the little girl helplessly, and then said, "Who would carry that kind of thing with you!"

At this moment, the sound of moving sounded in the distance.

"It's Coach Brewer who is back. I can't chat with you anymore. I have to count the towels. I can't let Coach Brewer know that I'm lazy." The little girl stuck out her tongue, then stared at Chen Qiang with her cute big eyes, and then said, "You can't tell anyone about my drowning just now, you have promised me."

"Okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone else. When someone asks me why I'm wet, I say my feet slipped and accidentally fell into the swimming pool." Chen Qiang promised.

The little girl nodded with satisfaction and then ran away quickly.

However, she had just run halfway through, but turned around and said to Chen Qiang: "Sir, thank you for saving me. My name is Esther!"

After the little girl finished speaking, she walked into the small room next to her without waiting for Chen Qiang to answer.

...

After finishing his visit to the Los Angeles Sports Club, Chen Qiang returned to the hotel.

As soon as he walked into the hotel gate, the waiter at the front desk greeted Chen Qiang with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, a guest came to you during the day. Some people left letters and some left contact information." The waiter took out several envelopes and handed them to Chen Qiang.

"It's probably the reporter who wants to interview me again." Chen Qiang said in his heart, and then took the envelope.

He took the envelope and returned to his room one by one. There were indeed messages from media reporters inside, hoping to interview Chen Qiang. Some people stayed for contact information, while others left messages saying that they would call Chen Qiang at some time.

Suddenly, an invitation letter came into Chen Qiang's eyes.

"Lingling Circus? Invite me to perform!"
