Chapter 169: Going to the Appointment
Su Mu usually drives the Porsche 911 in Menlo Park, and the Ferrari F40 is too low to drive.
As soon as you press the accelerator, the engine roars and roars, and it packs plenty of power.
Carefully leave the city, enter the suburban road before the speed increases, keep the speed at 100 miles per hour and dare not go faster, occasionally when there is no car on the road, slam on the accelerator to accelerate for a good time.
Boston, where Harvard University is located, is located north of New York, sandwiched between the state of Rhode Island, an entire state with a population of less than one million people, and few buildings can be seen anywhere outside of a few large cities.
When I was at Yale University a few days ago, Su Mu said that he was going to Brown University to find Lily and invite her to dinner.
Vice President George W. Bush won more than half of the votes in the November 8 presidential election and was elected as the next president of the United States.
Winter nights fall early, and the streets of Providence, the capital of Rhode Island, are brightly lit.
There are no high-rise buildings in sight, the villas on both sides are colorful and exquisite, some homes have jack-o-lanterns outside, and Halloween is just after Thanksgiving and Christmas are approaching.
In the blink of an eye, 1988 will be over.
Su Mu thought to himself, should we learn from big enterprises, hold the company's annual meeting before Christmas, and give out some prizes, so that the company's employees can have a good holiday and continue to work hard in the coming year.
Stopped and asked the traffic police where Brown University was going, and found Brown University a few minutes later, because the school was too small, the security guard did not let him drive the car into the school, called Lily, and soon saw her walking out of the school gate in a black coat......
"Sorry to let you out on such a cold day, the school was great. β
Su Mu didn't start the car, obviously, unlike the last time they met, tonight was a date atmosphere, which made him feel a little nervous, and he asked a topic: "I don't know what major you studied in Brown yet, and besides, there don't seem to be many restaurants near the school, where do you decide to eat tonight." β
After Lily took off her lady's suit, she became a schoolgirl again, as if she had suddenly become several years younger, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, my roommates are going to a party tonight, and I'm working on an essay topic, and I haven't adjusted to the change in the pace of life, and it's boring to go back to school, but luckily you're here.
Let's go ahead first, there's a restaurant that tastes great, I haven't tasted it in months, but I hope you like seafood. Leon, is this necessary, Ferrari?"
"I also want to drive a normal car, but my partner's garage is full of luxury cars. β
"Well, I studied public policy at Brown, and my dad arranged it for me, and I actually preferred zoology, becoming a veterinarian and stuff like that, looking for rare animals all over the world, and visiting landscapes. β
"Public policy is pretty good, but are you going to be a politician, a politician like Margaret Thatcher? I can't think of any other place where you would use this knowledge. β
Lily laughed to herself, "At least that's what my father thinks, my own thoughts don't matter to them, they like your way of life, and they're free." β
"It used to be very difficult, and I used to secretly envy you. Lily, you definitely don't know what it's like for the whole family to go to work in order to raise tuition, reluctant to buy a TV, reluctant to spend money on a dentist, my grandfather directly extracted the tooth decay, because the filling is more expensive. β
Chicken and duck said that the two grew up in different classes of families, and neither could fully understand each other's feelings.
Su Mu instantly regretted it after saying this, why did he mention his old man's tooth decay at such an important moment?
Lily didn't care, helped Su Mu show the way, and told, "Now you can decide what you want to do in the future, I'm just an incompetent student, so it seems that you are still happier than me." β
β...... You won, skip the topic of who is more comfortable, Mr. Bush has been successfully elected as the next president, will you be given a bonus?"
"No, we raised money to hold a small celebration for him, and later we could add campaign qualifications to my resume, and my father was more concerned about that. I used my salary to buy food to eat, and I didn't save money for the first few months, so I went out tonight without a wallet, everything depends on you, old classmate. β
He has a deep grudge against his father, and his voice is sullen.
Su Mu thought that such Lily was very cute, and was amused: "Of course, I came here from New York just to invite you to dinner." β
At the mention of New York, Lily suddenly remembered Kate, she was very smart, and she didn't ask if she went to her or other embarrassing topics, but just said: "Very gentleman, I like a man like you, maybe it will snow tomorrow, Los Angeles is very warm at this time." β
"Well, wearing long sleeves is enough, I will stay at Harvard University during this time, and wait for them to develop the program I want, tomorrow the Internet engineering working group will arrange someone to go to Harvard, I must be there to discuss and cooperate with them, the Internet has never been handled by one company, it should be possible to meet snowy days......"
The restaurant is called "King Lobster", the dΓ©cor is not high-end, the ingredients are mainly a variety of seafood, and Rhode Island is close to the Pacific Ocean, and Boston lobster is also abundant.
There is also California red abalone in the store, with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters, which can no longer be described as "a few abalones", weighing more than one kilogram.
Lily recommended two dishes, and then continued to chat, the content included papers, career, travel, etc., there was a mess of everything, with beautiful company of the opposite sex, Su Mu felt very comfortable, but unfortunately the atmosphere was not like dating at all, which made him mutter.
After questioning her, the waiter brought a bottle of red wine, a drunken white man yelled next to her, a band on stage played pure jazz, and an oversized Boston lobster had its tail sliced open to reveal the tender flesh inside.
Picked up the cup and touched it, and tasted it separately, I don't know what Lily thinks, Su Mu doesn't like bitter tastes very much, and he doesn't plan to go to Boston tonight, so it's okay to drink a little wine.
Waiting for the waiter to bring dessert, Lily asked him, "What time is it, how about we go to the bar later, I haven't been to a bar since I'm so old, it's said to be very interesting?"
Su Mu couldn't answer this question, he hadn't been to the bar, he was very moved by this proposal, wiped his mouth and said, "Listen to your arrangement, do you know where it is?"
"I don't know, but we can take a taxi and ask the driver, movies and books always say that drinking alcohol can release stress, I think now I need to release it once, I feel like I can drink another half glass of wine, dizzy and comfortable. β
"I'm full, so we'll go now. β
Seeing Lily nodding in agreement, Su Mu put a hundred-denomination bill on the table and stood up to get dressed......
