Chapter 281: News from the Other Side of the Ocean
At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Tianxing and Liao Fanmin set off and went to the airport to pick up Liu Tao.
Liu Tao had to take a plane for more than 10 hours and arrived at Beijing Airport at about 4 p.m.
"Boss, Jia Tianxing, I'm here... β
Liu Tao waved his hand vigorously, and the expression on his face was a little excited.
I haven't seen each other for nearly a year, Liu Tao has not changed much, and he looks a little more stable than when he was in school.
"Jia Tianxing, this is your car, you are really rich. β
Jia Tianxing looked at Liu Tao and pouted.
"What am I, the boss has two companies. β
Liu Tao turned his head to look at Liao Fanmin, dumbfounded.
"Boss, you have two companies, when I return to China, go to your company to do things, don't refuse. β
"Liu Tao, you are a dignified international student, graduated from a prestigious American school, if you return to China to work, a lot of opportunities are waiting for you, how can you come to my small company to do things, you better don't stimulate me. β
Liu Tao looked at Liao Fanmin and spoke quite seriously.
"Boss, don't say it, I really plan to go back to China, the United States doesn't mean much, you know my temper, I seem to be inferior to those white people in the United States, don't say that the United States is full of gold, even if it's heaven, I don't want to. β
"I still have more than two years of studying abroad, and when I graduate, I will talk about these things. β
The Mercedes sedan headed in the direction of the hotel.
"Liu Tao, do you need jet lag, go to the hotel to rest and eat later. β
"No, I'm sleeping on the plane, I'm not sleepy at this time, you can arrange whatever you want. β
"Okay, Jia Tianxing, let's go to the hotel first, and we'll go out to eat after Liu Tao washes up. β
At half past six, Liao Fanmin, Jia Tianxing and Liu Tao entered the private room of the hotel.
From getting off the plane to entering the restaurant, more than two hours passed, Liu Tao did not mention the matter of studying in the United States, and Liao Fanmin and Jia Tianxing did not ask.
This is actually not normal, at least Liao Fanmin is very concerned about the situation of Cheng Yahui who is studying in the United States, although Liu Tao is in the law department and Cheng Yahui is in the journalism department, but the two study in the same university and always know some things.
Liu Tao didn't speak, and Liao Fanmin's feeling was not very good.
A bottle of wine was drunk quickly, and Liu Tao's amount of wine was not as good as Jia Tianxing, let alone Liao Fanmin, and his face turned red when he saw it.
When the second bottle of wine came up, Liao Fanmin picked up the bottle.
"Liu Tao, your amount of wine is not as good as Jia Tianxing and me, this second bottle of wine, you pour a full glass, and the rest of Jia Tianxing and I are divided equally, you will drink so much wine today, you need to pour jet lag, and your body can't bear it if you drink too much wine." β
Liu Tao hugged his fists at Liao Fanmin again and again.
"Thank you boss, or the boss cares about me, Jia Tianxing, in the future, we will drink together, and you will also take care of me." β
Jia Tianxing pursed his mouth.
"Boss, Liu Tao is not much worse than me when he drinks, and if he drinks like this, I'm in trouble. β
The wine was quickly poured, and Liu Wei picked up the wine glass.
"Boss, Jia Tianxing, thank you for your hospitality, there is no such opportunity in the United States, those foreigners eat in the AA system, if they have a treat, I can't eat enough, I don't have so much money to invite them to eat, I have to take care of myself, speaking of that life, I am really not used to it, when I first went, I had to vomit the bread I ate... β
"Liu Tao, you are exaggerating, there are also Chinatowns in the United States, and there are restaurants that meet the taste of Chinese. β
"Boss, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, Americans are also weird, this can't be eaten, that can't be eaten, if the dishes are made, if there is any taste, I won't look at it, I have been to Chinatown, the taste of the food and the domestic can not be compared, and the price is very high, we international students can't afford to eat at all, go once in a while, even if it is a tooth sacrifice." β
"Liu Tao, you can't blame others, there are many opportunities to work in the United States, you can choose to work to earn money. β
Liu Tao waved his hand again and again.
"Boss, don't talk about part-time jobs, I finally understand your vision, you didn't want to go to the United States to study, I don't understand, now all I have left is admiration, the American legal system is completely different from our country, we have to learn from scratch, don't look at us as international students, go to those law firms to work, clerks don't let you do it, that is, do odd jobs, copy some legal documents, help sort out files, seven dollars an hour, can work more than two hours a day, is God bless, earn three or five hundred dollars a month, even if it is very remarkableγγγ β
Jia Tianxing looked at Liu Tao and shook his head slightly.
Before Liu Tao finished speaking, Liao Fanmin spoke again.
"Liu Tao, don't complain, it's not me talking about you, you have been studying abroad for less than a year, why can you make a lot of money, if it's like this, everyone will go to the United States, and when you study abroad for three years, complete your studies, and get your diploma, the situation will definitely be different at that time." β
Liu Tao shook his head vigorously.
"No, no, I also know that judges, prosecutors and lawyers in the United States have high incomes, but you have to know who can do these things, I have not been in the United States for a long time, but I understand that Americans are proud in their bones and look down on us. Prosecutors and lawyers, almost all of them are white, and there are a few blacks, people who can't see our skin color, many international students are in law firms, they are all hired temporarily, or clerks, if you want to become a lawyer, it is very difficult, I don't have that ability, and I don't have that good patience... β
After eating, Liu Tao looked a little drunk, and it was obviously inappropriate to sing and dance like this.
"Jia Tianxing, you wait for me downstairs, and I'll send Liu Tao to the room. β
Entering the room, after Liu Tao sat down, he suddenly spoke.
"Boss, sit down for a while, I'm not drunk yet. β
Liao Fanmin looked at Liu Tao and was quite surprised.
"Boss, I have no choice, there are some things that can only be told to you alone, I have never mentioned the matter of studying abroad, just for fear that I will leak my mouth. β
Liao Fanmin nodded, handed Liu Tao a cigarette, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jia Tianxing.
"Liu Tao, you have studied abroad for less than a year, and you are much more mature and sophisticated. β
"No way, foreigners don't care if you are kind and introverted, people will look at your ability, our domestic set, it won't work outside, if you show humility, people won't thank you at all, and think you're cowardly and easy to bully, if you show boldness and arrogance, people think you're good... β
"Okay, Liu Tao, let's talk about Cheng Yahui's situation. β
Liu Tao took two puffs of cigarette and watched Liao Fanmin speak.
"Cheng Yahui and I are not in the same department, we usually have few opportunities to contact, there are many opportunities for the practice of the journalism department, the professor will often organize international students to go out for interviews, exercise their work ability, it should be said that the journalism department chooses to study in the United States, or can learn a lot of things, better than in China, in the future they stay in the United States to work, and can quickly adapt... β
Liu Tao said a little off-topic, but Liao Fanmin still listened quietly.
"Boss, there is one thing you may not know, Chen Wei transferred to the Department of Journalism, to say that this matter is very difficult, Chen Wei did it, I still admire it, there is an advantage to studying in the United States, it does not look at your relationship, it depends on your academic performance and practical ability, if you have the ability, you can realize your dreams... β
"I have seen Chen Wei and Cheng Yahui go to study together, studying abroad, it is not uncommon to help each other, as for whether Chen Wei and Cheng Yahui have other relationships, it is hard to say, according to my observation, there should be no other level of relationship... β
"It's been a little strange recently, Cheng Yahui's mood seems to be very bad, and I don't know what the matter is, we are not a department, and it's not easy to ask... β
"Cheng Yahui should also have spring break, and our time may be different, but in April, I estimate that Cheng Yahui and Chen Wei will return to China, spring break has half a month, most of the international students will choose to return to China to see... β
When Liao Fanmin went downstairs, his face was a little gloomy.
Recently, Cheng Yahui has very few calls, and the time for each call is also very short, and she has not called for more than ten days recently.
Liao Fanmin has self-esteem, and Cheng Yahui's attitude made him very annoyed, so he simply stopped calling.
Jia Tianxing waited in the hall.
Seeing Liao Fanmin's expression, Jia Tianxing understood everything.
"Boss, is there anything to do with Chen Wei and Cheng Yahui? β
"Maybe not for the time being, maybe after a long time. β
"Boss, it's not me who said, with your conditions, if Cheng Yahui is still not satisfied, then I have nothing to say. β
"It's not that the conditions are unconditional now, Liu Tao just said that Xiaohui and Chen Wei may have to return to China, what I said, you can plan it well. β
"Boss, do you really want to do this? β
Liao Fanmin looked at Jia Tianxing, his face was a little gloomy.
Jia Tianxing nodded.
"I know, boss, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in this matter, you just wait for my news. β
"Jia Tianxing, hit the snake and hit seven inches, just do it neatly, don't worry about the money, tell me how much you need. β
"Don't mention money, money is something. β
"After sending Liu Tao away tomorrow, the car will be borrowed for me, this time I am here, I want to go to see Yaoyao, and I want to see Brother Cheng. β
"No problem, boss, tomorrow you will also take time to take a look at the community, the house has been completed and can be renovated at any time. β
"Let's put it aside, I can't think about these things for the time being. β
"Boss, go and have a look, I'll help you do the decoration, the quality is absolutely guaranteed." β
Back at the hotel, Liao Fanmin, who took a bath, did not feel the slightest sleep, Liu Tao's words contained too much information, and careful analysis of this information seemed to be unfavorable to him.
