Fly straight from the airport back to Menlo Park Dune Road.

The first day of work was over, and Su Mu took Lily to visit the company and explain the current business to her.

In Li Ping'an's words, this is "the boss takes the boss to understand the family business", Lily is not interested in these, and the reason why she is so interested is mainly because Su Mu has lived here for a long time, and the company was founded by him.

I'd love to know what Su Mu had done in the more than three years since he left Castellar, and now as his girlfriend, Lily was curious about those things.

The fourth and fifth floors are being cleaned, and more than 20 people are called to remove useless things, sweep garbage, wipe glass, because the rent is too high, the fifth floor is idle for more than half a year, and a thick layer of dust has fallen on the ground, which needs to be cleaned before tomorrow morning.

Staying on the dirty floor for a while, Su Mu simply divided the different office areas, and then arranged them after the formal work, and asked at this moment: "Is the decoration company pleased, the office is ready-made, but it still needs to be changed slightly, and there is also a desk, have you bought it?"

James personally helped clean up and replied, "Well, I'll send the desk over tomorrow morning, and I'll be responsible for helping us complete the assembly, and the official start time may need to be delayed for a day or two, so I'll ask them to report and leave tomorrow?"

Su Mu replied casually: "It's best to stay and help first, so that they can quickly get familiar with each other, Spider is still the same people as last year, and the new employees will develop four projects separately, I have already thought about it, more than a hundred programmers are far from enough, continue to recruit people this year, and when the time comes, you can help me pay attention to which positions are still lacking." ”

In Silicon Valley, creativity and talent are the most important thing, followed by money.

With good ideas and talents, there is no need to worry about no one investing, and until now, James didn't even know what kind of program Su Mu wanted to develop, and he didn't ask him about it.

At this moment, when I heard that the four projects were being carried out together, I asked with a surprised expression: "Is it developing at the same time, then the number of new employees is definitely not enough, and the senior programmers are also missing."

If you want to develop it quickly, you have to ensure that you have enough people, and you can handle it for the time being, so I will pay attention to it when the time comes. ”

When the employees learned of the arrival of the "boss lady", they cast curious glances at Lily.

Beside.

Li Ping'an and Lily were chatting, he knew her, but she didn't know him.

Lily had a slight impression of Li Ping'an, after all, almost every day at that time, he would stand at the door of the class and wait for Su Mu to get out of school.

"I was shocked to hear that you were in a relationship, and before the last time I went to your prom, he was very nervous and worried that your parents would not like him. ”

"Really. ”

Lily replied with a bright smile, "There's no need to be nervous, my parents think Leon is very good, you should also go play, I remember you have another one, who is very good-looking...... I was stunned when I first saw him come out of the men's bathroom!"

"Hahahaha! This word is well used, I also think he is very feminine, we still see each other often, Justin is studying at Stanford University, not far from us, talking about his English name feels so strange, I usually call him Chinese name, Du Zhong. ”

"I envy your relationship, my classmates have stopped contacting each other at the beginning, and I thought that some people would become my friends for life. ”

"It's all the same, when we grow up, we have fewer friends, and only the three of us are left who have a good time. Li Ping'an changed the topic and suddenly asked: "Since your parents don't object to you and Su being together, have you ever considered when to get married?"

It was an embarrassing topic for her, and Lily explained, "We've only been together for a while, so it's too early to talk about it, isn't it?"

"That's right, when I went to his house to play, his parents talked about it, and the elders were more anxious. ”

Li Ping'an said to himself, completely ignoring Su Mu's gaze that wanted to strangle him.

Talking about marriage to a girlfriend who has just met is definitely a pressure for American girls, and Su Mu doesn't want to put pressure on Lily, wondering how this guy can talk about such a strange topic.

I don't dare to continue to let this kind of pig teammate chat with Lily, maybe I will be single after chatting.

It's certainly not a good idea for American couples to talk about marriage before they're sure they really want to get married.

suddenly understood why Li Ping'an and the white girl fell in love several times, but they all ended in breakup, although they were both born and raised in the United States, their ideas are different.

walked over to relieve Lily and said, "Cupid, let's take care of your affairs first, I'm still single, and when we get married, your invitation will never be indispensable." ”

"I have a few friends who are still single, and if you have the chance to meet them in the future, you can try to reach them. ”

Knowing that Su Mu's family was already thinking about marrying him, Lily began to have a headache, and it was right to be ready to seriously manage this relationship, but it was a bit early to think about marriage so early.

Love is love, marriage is marriage, just like "Like" and "Love" represent different meanings, and Westerners distinguish it very clearly.

As soon as he heard this, Li Ping'an became serious and hurriedly nodded: "We all live in Los Angeles, and we will often have time to meet in the future, remember to ask Su Mu to call me to go with me when the time comes!"

"No problem. ”

......

In the past few years, almost all the nearby restaurants Su Mu have visited, leaving aside the single dog Li Ping'an, the two went to a western restaurant called Sycamore Tree.

For a formal dinner, a bottle of red wine costs more than $700 and is produced at Lily's Château d'Obiang, which is at the bottom of the five Bordeaux wineries in France and has been famous since the 16th century.

I can't taste the quality of the red wine, it is almost the same in Su Mu's mouth, only "okay", "unpleasant" and "very unpleasant", put down the glass and asked Lily: "How did you feel when you went to your winery a few days ago?"

"The leaves of the vines are withered and very boring.

I went there once when I was very young, my grandfather took me to the winery for a vacation, and it was very interesting to watch the workers press the grape juice, and I wanted to come back this time. ”

Lily then said: "There are only about 40 hectares, which is very small, and you can see them in 10 minutes on foot, and you can see 8,000 grapes per hectare, each with eight bunches, and 10,000 vines per hectare, and each tree with six bunches of grapes, to ensure the quality of the grapes." I brought you a small barrel of wine, the last year of the last century, I forgot to bring it to you this time, remember to remind me when I go back to Los Angeles. ”

"It's been ninety years, are you sure you can still drink the wine inside?" Su Mu expressed doubt.

"I don't know, I can hear the sound of water from the barrel when I shake it, and I should still be able to drink it, but to be on the safe side, you should drink a little less, or your stomach may be upset. ”

Su Mu raised his eyebrows, "That's okay, I don't have much taste for red wine." ”

"Actually, I don't either, you just need to ...... like this"

She took a small sip, held it in her mouth for a moment, swallowed it with a look of enjoyment, and continued to tell him: "So that no one doubts your taste, and if someone asks you how you are, then tell him, I personally like it, what do you think?"

Immediately amused, Su Mu rarely saw such an interesting side of Lily, and said in his mouth: "You can try it next time, in fact, I have eaten from snacks and Chinese food, it is difficult to accept such a small lamb chop, in our food culture, grilled lamb chops should be served on large plates, the kind that is all-you-can-eat." ”

"Some Chinese food tastes very good, such as Kung Pao Chicken and Mapo Tofu, but unfortunately it is a bit spicy. ”

"It's not spicy, my father runs a restaurant, next time I will take you to try it, you may not be used to pure Chinese food.

There are a lot of Chinese dishes, even if you eat different foods every day, it may not take you a few years to eat them all, and in the last century, there was a cruel empress dowager named Cixi, who had to eat dozens of dishes at each meal, and some dishes were just put on the table and finally thrown away. ”

Su Mu introduced to Lily that the two are of different races and come into contact with different cultures, and there are always endless topics to talk about when encountering this kind of thing.

Lily likes to hear all kinds of stories from Su Mu's mouth, because she reads a lot, and she can always feel his erudition, whether it is Western history or Eastern history.

Cutting the lamb chops with a knife, he replied: "I'm happy to try what you call delicious Chinese food, it's best not to be too spicy, you said that what we eat is not authentic Chinese food, but unfortunately many Chinese foods are too spicy, I can't accept it." ”

"There's a Chinese restaurant nearby, it's very spicy, even I think it's spicy, I can't take you to eat it......"

Finding a white girlfriend, it's hard to avoid cultural differences.

Both Su Mu and Lily are trying to accept and understand each other's culture, Su Mu already knows a lot about American society, while Lily knows nothing about Chinese culture, and needs to put more effort into it, such as trying Chinese food.

Dinner was eaten for more than two hours, during which they were chatting, and time passed very quickly.

When it was time to go back, a problem had to be solved first, both of them had drunk, and the Porsche 911 sports car was handed over to the bodyguards to drive.

Sitting in the back seat of the Jaguar car, Su Mu asked tentatively: "I haven't bought my house yet, tomorrow you can help me choose one, the area is better, the kind with a big garden, if it has been renovated, it will be better, you will go to the hotel tonight?"

"Well, the clean kind will do. ”

Lily doesn't know why she deliberately emphasizes cleanliness?

The dirty little room first came to mind, and it was only after blurting out that something was wrong.

The atmosphere was instantly embarrassing, and Su Mu teased her and said: "I have the money to stay in a hotel, that kind of small hotel is enough to stay once, how can I take you to the second time, and it is difficult to find a dilapidated hotel in Menlo Park." ”

Glaring at him, Lily's tone was wary: "Don't think that I'm coming to you, it's just a random girl, I'll sleep alone at night!"

His voice was very small, and he thought it was very interesting, and he lowered his voice: "I only have enough money to open a room, you sleep in the bed, I sleep on the sofa, and go to drink some wine at night......?"
