Chapter Seventy-Three: The Flower of Love
After breakfast, Li Jingwei helped Wei Rulan back to the room. It was not so much that he was holding him, but that he was being held by Wei Rulan.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two are like a pair of lovers in love, and they are unwilling to part for a moment.
Looking at Wei Rulan's feet that pretended to be painful, Fan Canghai finally understood something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Her granddaughter has been very assertive since she was a child. When I grew up, I knew exactly what I wanted. And for what he wants, he will always go all out to pursue it.
Now it seems that she has fallen in love with this Li Jingwei, and has begun to put it into action. When he was in Wushi, Fan Canghai saw some clues. However, he later noticed that Wei Rulan and Li Jingwei had no contact, so he thought that the two had broken off contact, so he didn't think much about it.
Now it seems that her granddaughter has never given up. Thinking of this, Fan Canghai couldn't help but smile bitterly, and finally understood why Wei Rulan must insist on coming to the United States to find Li Jingwei. On the one hand, solving the problem of chip research and development is one thing, and I am afraid that the more important thing is that Wei Rulan wants to take the opportunity to meet Li Jingwei.
However, it can be regarded as a crooked fight, this Li Jingwei really helped Wei Rulan solve most of the problems, and it can be regarded as not in vain.
Fan Canghai thought so, and he didn't think it was a bad thing.
But Wei Rulan didn't think so, from the moment she pulled Li Jingwei's hand, she felt that her wish to come to the United States this time had been fulfilled.
Before this, she never felt that the two were too polite, and she never knew how to close the distance between the two, so that there was no good excuse for calling.
But now it's different, she can call Li Jingwei without any excuse in the future. She felt it was a huge step forward.
Wei Rulan still doesn't know Zhao Yici, Qianjing porcelain paintings and Tang Qiushui. If she knew, I wonder if she would think so.
Of course, Wei Rulan also knows very well that it is impossible to make Li Jingwei fall in love with him overnight. But she firmly believes that as long as she waters it with her heart, the flower of love will definitely bloom between the two.
In the next two days, Li Jingwei devoted himself to the study of chip algorithm problems.
When Li Jingwei finally solved all the problems on the third day, Li Qingyuan still felt as if he was in a dream.
Before coming to the United States, Li Qingyuan did not report much hope. In fact, not only did he not report any hope, but the five of them did not report any hope.
After all, the whole team has been working on these problems for a long time, and many university experts have been invited to participate in the discussion, and although some problems have been solved, these eleven problems have never been solved.
What they didn't expect was that Li Jingwei solved seven problems on the first day, and it took two days to solve the remaining four problems, which really surprised them.
Wei Rulan was also a little overjoyed, but at the same time a little disappointed. In the past two days, the two have eaten together, gone to the park to do tai chi together, and worked in the R&D center together, and she enjoys this state very much.
Although many times she can't intervene, wandering between different floors with nothing to do, or sitting in the office chasing American dramas, Wei Rulan feels very down-to-earth.
Wei Rulan was happy that the problem was finally solved. But the problem is solved, which means that he has to return to Huaxia and leave Li Jingwei. This made me feel a little lost.
After explaining the last question to Li Qingyuan and the others, Li Jingwei originally planned to go back to Tang Fengfeng directly.
However, Wei Rulan proposed that everyone go to dinner together to celebrate, and Li Qingyuan and others coaxed on the side, Li Jingwei couldn't refuse, so he had to go with a few people.
Wei Rulan asked Li Jingxi to make a reservation in advance at the Barbeta restaurant in Manhattan. It is a three-Michelin-starred upscale western restaurant dedicated to providing customers with the best of Italian cuisine, and of course, other Western cuisine.
According to the introduction, the chef at Barbeta Restaurant has a perfect and pinnacle of culinary skills. In addition to the excellent food, this restaurant also has an extremely elegant dining environment and perfect dining service. Of course, the prerequisite for enjoying this is to be prepared to spend a lot of money.
The Babeta restaurant is located in four townhouses, and by the time a few people drove there, it was already around half-past four, which was the rush hour.
The first thing that catches your eye when you enter this restaurant is the fine collection of 18th-century Piedmontese antiques and paintings. The plump, blonde and blue-eyed body paintings in the oil paintings not only show the body art, but also seem to highlight the extravagance of capitalism.
The moment a few people entered the restaurant, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. On the one hand, this is because few Chinese usually come here to eat, and on the other hand, it is because of Wei Rulan's beauty and Li Jingwei's handsomeness.
At this time, Wei Rulan, who was holding Li Jingwei's arm, was immersed in happiness, smiling like a flower, looking forward to life, and the whole person exuded a charming brilliance. In particular, the oriental charm fascinates the Western men in the restaurant. And accompanying these men to women, jealousy ignited in the depths of their eyes.
Like the Chinese, Americans also regard eating as an important social activity. Dinner, in particular, is an important social opportunity. And the people who can enter this restaurant are all high-class people who are either rich or expensive.
However, even in order to deliberately maintain an elegant gentlemanly posture, many men tried to control their minds strongly, but their eyes still couldn't help but sweep in the direction where Wei Rulan was.
In the corner of the dining room, three people were sitting around a table, one of them was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, and the other two were two old men.
At the two tables next to them, seven or eight strong men in black suits sat around.
At this moment, this young man was staring at Wei Rulan with burning eyes, without the slightest concealment. This is in stark contrast to the people around him.
This man is Matt Clowber, the third-generation banner man of the Clowber family and the precious grandson of the elder Klober.
Matt Crober's slim white shirt, gray trousers, and well-groomed hair make him look a bit like a Wall Street financial elite rather than a ruthless gangster. The ruddy complexion on his face showed that he had not only not suffered during his five years in federal prison, but had probably lived quite comfortably.
To the right of Matt Clopber sat a small, slightly shriveled old man. Those who are familiar with the underworld in New York must know that this old man is none other than the faithful butler of the Clowber family, Dijor Flandy.
Flandi's wrinkled old face is engraved with the traces of time and the glory of the Crowber family. Some cloudy eyes flashed from time to time. At this moment, his wizened hands were folded on the table, looking like a cold dagger. It's a pair of blood-stained hands!
Five years ago, Matt Klober, the third generation of the Klober family, was framed and imprisoned. Later investigations revealed that one of his subordinates had betrayed him by receiving a large sum of money from another gang, and then the family had absconded abroad with the money.
One day shortly after Matt was imprisoned, the man, who had absconded to Malaysia, was executed, and the flesh of his body was cut off and hung on a bamboo pole like dried fish. None of the family was spared, and even the infant son was brutally thrown to death.
Later, the police's autopsy report showed that the man had been cut alive 200 times before his death. It is rumored that this unsolved case is the handiwork of Flandy. As for the gangster, it was also completely eliminated overnight.
Sitting on Matt Crober's left hand side was a slightly chubby old man, with a peaked cap on his head and a gray casual suit, sitting there like a retired old teacher, simple and rigid.
Few people know that this ordinary old man is the founder of the mysterious Klober family, the old Klober.
When he saw his grandson Matt staring at Wei Rulan, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, as if he saw himself when he was young.
The third generation of the Clowber family is prosperous, and the elder Clowber has twelve grandsons and five granddaughters. However, as the third generation who grew up in fine clothes and jade food, they have become more playboys who mingle in various social situations, or so-called socialites.
When Matt was two years old, his parents were involved in an accident in a helicopter, so he grew up with old Clowber and became a copy of old Klober.
It can be said that among the many grandchildren, only Matt is the most like old Clopber, with scheming, means, and ruthlessness.
Old Cloper did not remind Matt that this was a public occasion, and in his opinion, who in this life did not have an absurd youthful life, and an impulse to be angry!
He and Flandy exchanged a glance, then shook his head helplessly, picked up a piece of Boston lobster meat with a fork, put it in his mouth and munched on it.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Li Jingwei and the others sat in a seat in the southwest corner, close to the south window, which was relatively quiet.
After consulting the tastes of Li Jingwei and others, Wei Rulan ordered a sumptuous meal for everyone, including Boston lobster, caviar, etc. Li Qingyuan, who was also a good winemaker, ordered a bottle of whiskey.
Li Jingwei is not very particular about food, although he has been in the United States for many years, he has never eaten in some so-called Michelin-starred restaurants. There is no understanding of the Barbeta restaurant either. However, after tasting the food here, he also felt that it was a delicious taste in the world.
Since Li Qingyuan and the five wanted to go to Times Square after eating, the five of them ate quickly. The other diners around were eating slowly and methodically, while chatting happily.
Li Qingyuan and the five of them ate cleanly in about ten minutes after the food came up. Luckily, there is a separate meal system, and everyone eats on their own plate. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Li Jingwei and Wei Rulan's meals will also be snatched by the five of them.
Subsequently, Li Qingyuan confessed to Wei Rulan, and rushed to Times Square with four other engineers. said that he was going to Times Square, but in fact, Li Qingyuan wanted to give Wei Rulan more time to get along, so he was in such a hurry to leave.
are all from science backgrounds, and Li Jingwei likes Li Qingyuan's straightforwardness very much, so he doesn't mind them leaving early.
Regarding the early departure of Li Qingyuan and others, Wei Rulan was not only not angry, but a little happy. She hopes to have a good meal with Li Jingwei in a high-end restaurant and leave more good memories.
Moreover, she also has some things to discuss with Li Jingwei alone.
