"Men are all ****!" (please substitute any age sense of spit words similar to "big pig's trotters")

Ye Kun turned off the TV hatefully, left the dormitory, and prepared for the night shift.

Last month, before Gu Biao left, he clearly told her that she should pay more attention to follow up on the approval process of "whether Gu Biao should be allowed to participate in the compilation of Kissinger's monograph "On China".

He also said that on her birthday, he would return to Watsengton to thank her in person and understand the progress in person.

Ye Kun also followed up on Gu Wei's seriously.

Who knew that tonight, when she turned on the CNN channel on the TV again, she was immediately disappointed.

After four days of replaying, on the fifth day, CNN actually released the second episode of Larry King's live!

What does this mean? It means that Gu Biao is still doing a show in Atlanta tonight.

"The old lady still takes him seriously. Ye Su took a sip, and then began to work to divert his attention.

The three-hour night shift passed quickly, and Ye Kun looked at his watch, it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening.

Because today is also the Independence Day of the United States, although the top level of the state will not send any congratulatory messages, there are many routine exchanges between various non-governmental cooperation organizations. The press liaison office of the embassy also has a heavy workload on the night shift, and all kinds of congratulatory messages must be checked by Ye Su before they are forwarded.

Luckily, she's recently gotten used to working day and night shifts so she doesn't feel too tired.

She didn't get up until 6 p.m. for breakfast, so it was almost time for lunch at 11 p.m.

The embassy's cafeteria is open 24 hours a day and offers 6 meals a day.

Although eating in the cafeteria for your birthday sounds a bit miserable, there is no way to do it. In the 80s, Chinese people didn't pay attention to these, and the unit would never register employees' birthdays and give a little surprise or something like later generations. Ye Kun also has a strong temper, and he will never say this to the leader, shame.

The mainstream values are still about hard work, how can we engage in the bourgeois level and lifestyle.

Ye Kun was about to go to the cafeteria when he vaguely heard the sound of cars outside. She glanced out the window and saw that it was the Pontiac Firebird that was too familiar to be known. Because in the year that Gu Biao was away, she was driving the car herself.

"Isn't he still in Atlanta? someone else drove it, right?" Ye Kun was slightly startled and rubbed his eyes.

However, the answer was soon revealed.

Gu Biao entered her office with a familiar expression:

"I'm sorry, I only remembered it today, so I was late, and I didn't prepare any gifts, anyway, happy birthday. ”

Saying that, Gu Biao casually put a game console on the table, and his heart and lungs jumped on the paper.

A person drove up to you at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night to tell you happy birthday, how strange this scene looked.

"Aren't you in Atlanta?" Ye felt that he had been attacked by a burst of chromatography Nesmarjevac.

"How do you know? Oh, you're watching TV again. Yes, but it's all because Motorola and several other industry giants have found me temporarily, and I don't want to delay. Gu Biao also quickly recognized it.

He never wanted to hide anything. He just felt that a big man shouldn't make excuses for what he promised his friend but almost didn't do. So to put it mildly, "I just remembered it temporarily", I tried to fool the past.

But since Ye Kun himself noticed it, let's notice it.

Ye Kun felt angry and funny: "You want to give me some contrast, so that I can be moved by 'It turns out that you have worked so hard and still remember the things you made an appointment'?"

Gu Biao spread his hands: "This is really nothing, I'm just used to the things I promised people to do, don't you know me yet." ”

Ye Kun knew Gu Wei too well, so he knew that what he said was true, so he didn't bother to bother about it anymore.

The two exchanged a few polite words.

Gu Wei noticed that Ye Kun was originally planning to have a midnight meal, so he suggested: "Since it's a birthday, what canteen to eat, it's better to go out and eat, or go home to get it." ”

Ye Kun: "I'm at work! It's a working meal! Today is Independence Day, and I'm very busy with business!"

Gu Biao: "Then the 7-11 convenience store next to it, this is always fast enough, at least it is better than the canteen, and there are cakes to sell." ”

Ye Kun didn't resist anymore, put on a light coat, and walked out of the embassy.

At midnight in Watsangton, there is simply no restaurant to open. In the entire embassy district, there are only two 7-Eleven convenience stores that I own, which are open 24 hours a day.

At the same time, because it is the embassy district, at least every road has street lights on all night, and the law and order is relatively good - if those streets without street lights, even if it is Watsonton, the best place, you dare to go out without a gun in the middle of the night, you may be robbed and shot.

Especially Asians, even if others have no intention of robbing, they will lure the other party to commit crimes when they see your yellow face, who makes Asians famous for not carrying guns.

Therefore, Asians who do not carry guns in the Americas and Africa are really harmful to others and themselves. Not only is he easy to die, but over the years, he has also created an overall image of weakness and bullying for his fellow clansmen.

Without further ado, the two walked for three minutes and entered the convenience store.

"What kind of cake do you have here?" Gu Biao asked directly.

The waitress pointed to the freezer and said a few words.

Gu Biao took a square eight-inch Black Forest and put it on the long seat next to him:

"Let's eat it first, before 12 midnight, it's a birthday cake. If you're still hungry in a while, I'll go home and cook noodles for you and bring them over. ”

Ye Su indifferently took the fork and cut a little, and chewed it carefully: "Don't toss, it's better to go back to the embassy canteen to eat noodles." The meaning is there. ”

Gu Biao also accompanied him silently.

The long table in the convenience store is facing the window pane, and because of the contrast in brightness, it is only pitch black when you look out, and nothing else can be seen.

After eating a small half of the cake, Ye Kun's attitude softened slightly: "I know you are busy, it is not easy to come." I didn't expect that 20 years old would be like this, and no family would be around, although I should have thought about it a long time ago. ”

"You just don't want to think about it. Gu Biao looked very open, "Actually, you have this condition, you just graduated and came to the United States, and it is really difficult to make a job like a secretary who can't leave and does not return to China to visit relatives for a long vacation." Other envoys, how can anyone of your age? ”

At this time last year, when Ye Kun spent his 19th birthday in the United States alone, he probably also felt sad. But after all, I had only been employed for half a year at that time, and there were many things to learn, and I was enriched with a sense of accomplishment and freshness, so it was not so obvious.

This year, the inspection is over, the promotion is also a level, the work has changed from passion to daily life, and the psychological pressure has changed abruptly.

Moreover, embassy staff cannot casually fall in love with foreigners, nor can they easily marry foreigners. The most common way in the circle is to trust the relationship and transfer the spouse in the country with it. And in this case, the spouse can often get some simple chores.

Ye Kun's situation of one person occupying a pit is also slightly awkward in the eyes of his colleagues - several counselor-level leaders are staring at the work of the press liaison office, wanting to make room for it, hoping that his wife in China can be transferred. (To be honest, this practical difficulty is also the main reason for the "reproduction" of the fat shortage that was attacked by the society after the difficulty of obtaining public office.) ）

Ye Su unwillingly asked himself: "The reason why you don't feel lonely in the United States is because you can often take a leave of absence, ask for leave, return to China, or run around." ”

This question is actually meaningless, because no matter what the reason for Gu Biao's answer is, she will feel uncomfortable when she hears it.

What she really wanted to hear in her inner subconscious was that Gu Biao said, "Actually, I'm as lonely as you."

Gu Biao: "That's also one thing, after all, the things I have to be busy with change a lot, and every day will give me a sense of freshness." What's more, I'm a man. ”

Ye Kun: "What about the future? Last time, you only stayed for four months, and then you took a leave of absence. This time, you will study for 20 months in a row, and you will only take a short leave of absence to return to your home country in the middle. What about your girlfriend?

"Of course I'll find another way to take care of them. This question is a bit sensitive, and Gu Biao cleverly avoided it.

Ye Su didn't dare to look at his eyes.

"I hope you have a beginning and an end. By the way, China has approved it, allowing you to assist Kissinger in writing "On China" according to the scope of the content submitted last time - your doctoral project has been changed to this, and it will be easier to follow up, maybe it will be more convenient to ask for leave and return to China. Anyway, you can write anywhere, and you don't have to go to Georgetown every day to order it. ”

Gu Biao: "Thank you." By the way, I have another matter, I hope you can help me inform me of the domestic first, which is from the international industry technical standards development meeting of a newly established branch of the IEC, in terms of electromagnetic compatibility. ”

Ye Kun immediately reacted: "That's what you mentioned tonight at the Larry King scene, when you 'participated in the grand event' with Chris Galvin." ”

"Yes, you watch TV very carefully. Remember not to tell China in my name when the time comes, I will ask Motorola to send an application letter to the embassy and let the embassy convey it,"

While Gu Wei replied, he had already realized that Ye Kun was distracted, and often observed him secretly.

"Also, next month, maybe I will go back to the country for this matter, as long as the relevant departments permit, I will visit and make preparations for the conference. ”

"Which city do you think is suitable for this academic conference?" Ye Su asked in a discursive tone.

Gu Biao expressed his thoughts: "As for the main venue, there are only two alternatives, Yuezhou and Hujiang - the special zone is still too dilapidated now, and there is not a world-class hotel." In Beijing, the political connotation is too strong, and apart from my company, none of the other participants are actually Chinese companies. The capital can't cover it.

Only the hardware conditions of Hujiang are OK, and the Zhaolong Hotel of the charter king is also about to be officially opened, which is very suitable for international conferences. After all, Yuezhou has decades of experience in the Canton Fair. We'll see when the time comes. ”

Ye Kun: "Okay, I don't understand this matter anyway." When the time comes, I will mediate how to write the letter from Motorola. ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Su forcibly held back the emptiness and loneliness in her heart, and dismantled the game console that Gu Biao had just given her to divert her attention.

"It's easy for you to take what you sell and give it away. She teased as she turned on the phone.

Gu Biao: "Today is really an emergency, I don't have time, I brought a sample with me, and I will make up for it for you next time." ”

Ye Kun: "I don't want anything from you, just talk about it." The game console is also good, I watched the news, it sells well, I am in Watsonton, I ran twice and didn't buy it. There was a queue in the store, I was too lazy to queue, and when I waited for the queue to finish, I went to ask, and it was out of stock. ”

Gu Biao: "It's really a good business, the first batch of 100,000 units, a few days before the show was released, only sold less than 10,000, but as soon as CNN's hype was released and follow-up advertisements were followed, it was sold out in two days."

The second batch of 150,000 units only arrived today, but I heard that the scalpers of distributors at all levels have already been rounded up and began to speculate. Although it has not yet reached the hands of ordinary consumers, at least the accounts I see here have been emptied.

In the follow-up, Mr. Han was able to send two batches of 150,000 units every month, and she even completely stopped producing TVs and concentrated on OEM. ”

While listening to Gu Wei's description, Ye Kun had already tried a game of "Snake", but he was not very good at playing and died soon. She had to patiently take out the coated paper instruction manual in the box and read it patiently for two minutes before getting back on the road.

The game consoles of the 80s, and even the later game cartridges, all came with manuals, which would introduce the gameplay, which was equivalent to a guide.

This habit was maintained until the Internet era, when it disappeared and was replaced by the in-game tutorial files.

However, Chinese gamers may be relatively unfamiliar with these, because all the games you sold in China back then were pirated games, and they generally did not come with manuals - not only the engraved disks of the disc era were pirated, but even the N-in-1 red and white machine cartridges sold in department stores in major cities in the early 90s were also pirated.

In the genuine market of Europe, America and Japan, there is no such N-in-1 card at all, but at that time, the mainland did not even have the production capacity of pirated cassettes at the beginning, so most of them were imported after piracy by Wanwan Factory.

From this point of view, Wanwan is indeed better than the mainland in terms of copyright protection in terms of Chinese music and literature, but the game piracy industry has actually been a raccoon dog since ancient times. Perhaps it is the cultural genes of the Chinese who feel that "such playthings are not qualified to be protected by copyright, and they are not serious learning, they are not worthy".

Ye Kun read the manual, and when he played again, he immediately became much smoother, and a plate of greedy snakes lived for more than ten minutes, until the snake was more than 50 blocks long, and the game speed was also raised to the fourth level, and he was killed by his own tail.

"Oh yes!"

Ye Kun, an honor student, couldn't help but put his hands into it.

Then she opened another plate of American cubes, which was even more difficult to die, and after a while, Gu Biao had to remind her:

"Hey, it's almost your lunch break, you're going back to work by 1 a.m. ”

Ye Su was disturbed, and his hand slipped and died: "Hey, it's all your fault! You see that you distracted me and died!"

Gu Biao: "You can press the pause button, and continue to play after work." ”

Ye Kun: "Then you can't leave the machine on all the time, it's a waste of battery." ”

She just needs Gu Biao to find a step down for her death, and since she is dead, she can go back to work with peace of mind.

"I didn't expect this thing to be very good, although it's a bargain, even a serious person like me who loves to read can play it. It's really not unjust to be able to sell so good sales. The first wave of popularity may be stirred up by taking advantage of current affairs, but the key to continuing to be popular is that the product is good. "About to return to the office, Ye Kun commented.

"That's a must, the iron also needs its own hardness, if the product is not good, just rely on hype, how can it be long-term. Gu Biao smiled proudly, being able to bring female students into the pit shows that things are really good.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Ye Kun continued to propose kindly: "You haven't had the jet lag on the night shift, are you sleepy? It's early in the morning, and it's not safe to drive back to the villa by yourself." Go to my dorm room and sleep for the night, and wake you up when I get off work. ”

"Then I'm sorry for you, I actually change my clothes every day in Atlanta, and I promise not to stain your quilt. Gu Biao was as good as a stream, so he slept in the dormitory area of the embassy all night.

The first one has a little more words, and the second and third ones have to wait after work. Don't wait during the day.
