Hearing Lin Fanghua's questioning, Du Xiangyang became even more flustered. For the Lin family brothers and sisters, he is afraid. The fear of Lin Zhenhua is because he has been funded by Lin Zhenhua's study abroad fund, and in the end he did not choose to go back to work for Hanhua, which is a bit unkind and unjust. As for the fear of Lin Fanghua, it is naturally born of love, which can be said to be a habitual obedience.

"I haven't promised him yet." Du Xiangyang replied again. He didn't lie, in fact, he had been hesitating, and the main reason for his hesitation was that he didn't know Lin Zhenhua's opinion. Du Xiangyang felt that he was a righteous person, he took Lin Zhenhua's funding to study in the United States, and if Lin Zhenhua asked him to go back, he couldn't refuse. But from the heart of his heart, he really wanted to stay in the United States.

"You don't have to say that, I know what you're thinking as soon as I look into your eyes." Lin Fanghua said indignantly.

Lin Zhenhua patted his sister's hand and said with a smile: "Xiaofang, calm down, listen to Xiang Yang's words." ”

Du Xiangyang saw that Lin Zhenhua didn't blame him, and his courage was a little stronger. He said: "Brother Lin, I know that it is a little inappropriate for me to do this, if it wasn't for Brother Lin, you helped me contact the school and provided me with financial support, I wouldn't have been able to go to the United States......"

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said: "Xiangyang, don't think like this, I set up this fund without any conditions, you don't have to feel that you owe anything." ”

Du Xiangyang said: "Brother Lin, it's not that I don't want to return to China to play, it's just that the domestic conditions are too big compared with foreign countries. I'm not talking about living conditions, I'm not a person who seeks material comforts. I'm talking about the conditions for scientific research, but also about the social environment. The situation in China, Brother Lin, you know best. I admit that Hanhua Heavy Industries is indeed vibrant under your leadership, but other phenomena in society are really disappointing. There are some things that I don't need to say, right? ”

Lin Zhenhua looked at Du Xiangyang and sighed in his heart. In fact, Du Xiangyang's age is only one year younger than Lin Zhenhua, and they should be regarded as the same age. However, Lin Zhenhua, as a time-traveling person, has two lifetimes of life experience, plus he has been a corporate leader over the years, and he has more social experience, so he is much more mature psychologically than Du Xiangyang.

Lin Zhenhua remembered that when he first met Du Xiangyang, he was still a sophomore student, and his heart was very simple. At that time, Lin Zhenhua and Yao Heliang discussed the issue of cooperation, and Du Xiangyang also questioned whether Lin Zhenhua wanted to use money to tempt Huaqing's teacher. In a blink of an eye, six years have passed, and Du Xiangyang is no longer the mentality of the year.

"Xiangyang, you're right, there are indeed many unsatisfactory places in China." Lin Zhenhua said calmly, "However, I believe that everything will slowly get better." In order to raise the level of science and technology in China and change the atmosphere in China, we need the joint efforts of all of us, especially those of us who are powerful and educated. If we all leave because the situation in the country is not good, those who can't go will have to be poor and backward forever. ”

Du Xiangyang lowered his head and said, "Brother Lin, this is what I admire you the most. Over the years, you have been so optimistic, no matter what the social climate is, you have always done things according to your ideas, and you have been able to succeed repeatedly. I can't be like you, though. ”

"Du Xiangyang, you really disappointed me!" Lin Fanghua said, "I really can't see that you are such a person, do you know what your behavior is called?" This is called betrayal! ”

"I didn't betray the country, I just felt that I couldn't play my profession at home." Du Xiangyang argued.

"You are a traitor, you hate the poor and love the rich!" Lin Fanghua's big hat was buckled towards Du Xiangyang one after another.

"Xiao Fang!" Lin Zhenhua raised his voice a little and stopped Lin Fanghua's criticism of Du Xiangyang. He is not a person who likes to be strong, and he has long been mentally prepared for Du Xiangyang's choice.

In fact, in this era, among those who study abroad, the majority do not want to return to their home countries. The living conditions at home are worlds apart from those abroad, and few people who have been abroad for a few years are willing to return to the dirty and backward China. Those students who study abroad at public expense are constrained by the policy and have to go back. But many of these self-funded students would rather stay in the United States to brush up on dishes than return to China. ,

"Xiangyang, everyone has their own ambitions, I respect your choice." Lin Zhenhua said, "However, as a friend, I would like to give you a little advice. ”

"Brother Lin, say it." Du Xiangyang Road.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Regarding the question of staying in the United States or returning to China, I suggest you think twice." It is true that China is very backward now, but backwardness is also an opportunity. It is precisely because of China's backwardness that international students like you will have more room to display after they go back. In the United States, everything is already very mature, and it is not easy for young people to stand out. Besides, as a Chinese, your development in the United States will inevitably encounter a glass ceiling, and it is impossible for Americans to hand over the most important work to the Chinese.

In the next few decades, China's economy will certainly grow rapidly, and perhaps in less than 20 years, China's environment will change dramatically, and you will have achieved a much higher social status than you have developed in the United States. ”

Du Xiangyang said: "Brother Lin, the prospects you described are very good, but I can't believe it. Although I am in the United States, I have always been concerned about domestic affairs. In the past few years, inflation in the country has been very serious, the reform of state-owned enterprises has reached a dead end, and corruption is rampant in society, especially the phenomenon of official downfall, which I do not believe can be solved in the short term. I'm a tech person, and I don't have the ability or interest to change society, so I still choose to escape. ”

"I understand, when it comes to life choices, it's better for everyone to decide for themselves, Xiangyang, I won't force you." Lin Zhenhua said that Du Xiangyang's views on the domestic environment are very representative, and Lin Zhenhua believes that he cannot convince Du Xiangyang with his own tongue. He turned his head to look at Lin Fanghua and asked, "Xiaofang, what do you think?" Will you stay in the U.S. or go back to China after graduation? ”

"Of course I'm going back to China!" Lin Fanghua replied without thinking.

"Why?" Lin Zhenhua was a little surprised by his sister's simple answer, "Don't you think what Xiang Yang said makes sense?" ”

"He ......" Lin Fanghua glanced at Du Xiangyang, and Du Xiangyang hurriedly shrank back, as if he was afraid that Lin Fanghua would hit him.

"My classmates usually discuss domestic matters, but I don't think the situation in China is so bad. In fact, what Du Xiangyang said, didn't you say it when you and Uncle He usually chatted? I remember what you said, this is just a labor pain in the reform, and sooner or later it will be resolved. Lin Fanghua said to his brother.

"Maybe." "However, this kind of labor pain may last for decades, and we don't have so many decades to wait for in our lives." Xiaofang, I still hope you can stay. ”

"Why?" Lin Fanghua asked.

"I ...... I hope we can be together. Du Xiangyang hesitated for a while, and finally didn't dare to say it too bluntly.

"Phew!" Lin Fanghua's face flushed slightly, Du Xiangyang's thoughts, of course she understood, she had actually been struggling with whether she was inclined to Du Xiangyang or Ma Jie. Du Xiangyang's performance today made her a little disappointed, and the balance in her heart began to tilt.

"Du Xiangyang, if you really want to be with me, you should go back to China with me." Lin Fanghua said.

Du Xiangyang hesitated, shook his head, and said, "No, Xiaofang, I think your choice is not rational enough, and when you return to China, you will regret your choice." I know that Ringo will provide you with all kinds of conditions, but if you want to become a good scientist, it is not enough to rely on the platform provided by Ringo. The scientific research environment in China is too bad, and I can't bear to see you waste your talent in vain when you go back. ”

"Hmph, my brother said it well, everyone has their own ambitions. I don't force you, and you don't force me. Lin Fanghua replied.

"I'll be waiting for you in the United States." Du Xiangyang lowered his head and said.

"I ......" Lin Fanghua wanted to say something, but finally didn't say it. She knows that Du Xiangyang has always loved her, and this kind of love itself is not wrong and should not be blamed. For Du Xiangyang's words, Lin Fanghua even felt a little moved, but the differences between them are irreconcilable, Du Xiangyang blindly wants to stay in the United States, and she Lin Fanghua is determined to return to China. ,

Lin Fanghua herself can't tell how her concept of wanting to return to China was formed, and since the day she came to the United States to study, she has never had the idea of staying. Around her, there are many Chinese students studying how to find a job in an American company and how to get a green card, but Lin Fanghua has no such idea at all.

She thought that her own concept might be too deeply influenced by her brother. When it comes to settling abroad, no one has a better chance than Lin Zhenhua. As early as the early 80s, he had already obtained $200,000 from an American company on his own, and if he wanted to go abroad at that time, it should be very easy for him to get a green card abroad. But Lin Zhenhua did not do this, he used his money and his wisdom to revitalize the Hanhua Machinery Factory, Lin Fanghua remembered that his brother told her countless times: his ideal is to make China rich and strong, and make China an industrial hegemon.

Lin Fanghua has always had this idea in his heart, so he was able to be admitted to Huaqing University, so he was able to become a student in the United States, all thanks to the help of his brother. She is willing to give up all her honor and status, just so that she can go back to help her brother. As long as her brother is still in China, she will definitely return to China.

"Sunny...... If possible, I hope to be able to see you back home. Lin Fanghua also lowered his head and said. She had a premonition that her fate with Du Xiangyang might be over, and thinking of this, her eyes moistened slightly.

Both young people are choosing their own lives, and Lin Zhenhua is a detached bystander. He has a historical perspective of more than 20 years more than Xiaofang and Du Xiangyang, and he knows what the choices of these two young people today will mean in the future. He didn't want to say anything, in fact, Du Xiangyang's choice was understandable in terms of the concept at the time, and Lin Fanghua's choice would not be regretted in the future. Life is full of choices, and everyone has the right to choose. The blisters on the feet came out on their own.

"Okay, Xiang Yang, Xiao Fang, one choice is nothing, there may be other opportunities in the future, let's talk about this topic today." Lin Zhenhua said to the two with a smile.

Du Xiangyang said: "Brother Lin, I think that when I find a job, I will return the funding I have received over the years to the foundation one after another, but it may take a few years." ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Xiangyang, I'm going to be angry if you say this." As I said, the Foundation comes with no strings attached. If you are willing to contribute, you can sponsor other Chinese students, but not in the form of returning them to the foundation. It doesn't matter if you return home or not, whether you ...... in the future Which country's nationality, we are all friends, is that so? ”

"Yes, I will never forget Brother Lin's help to me." Du Xiangyang said sincerely.

"Xiangyang, we'll always be friends, aren't we?" Lin Fanghua raised his head, looked at Du Xiangyang, and asked.

Du Xiangyang nodded: "Xiaofang, you are my first confidante in this life, I don't know if we will have a chance in the future, but no matter what, I will treat you as my closest person." ”

"Thank you, Xiangyang." Lin Fanghua said softly.

After dinner, the three of them walked slowly on the streets of New York, Du Xiangyang gave a detailed introduction to Lin Zhenhua about some of the operations of the foundation in the United States in recent years, and Lin Zhenhua told him that if he wanted, he could continue to serve as the secretary of the foundation, after all, he did a better job in this matter.

"Brother Lin, thank you for trusting me. Although I may not return to China, you can rest assured, my heart is still Chinese, and I will encourage those students who are interested in returning to China to work in Hanhua. Du Xiangyang said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "It's best if you think like this." In fact, even if you become an American citizen, if you are willing to do things for China, there are still opportunities. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to collaborate more in the future. ”

"I will." Du Xiangyang replied.

Du Xiangyang had other things to do in New York, and after talking about business, he said goodbye to the Lin family brothers and sisters. Lin Fanghua looked at Du Xiangyang's distant back, and felt an inexplicable sour feeling in his heart.

"What, are you really going to give up Du Xiangyang?" Lin Zhenhua knew his sister's thoughts, and couldn't help asking. ,

Lin Fanghua nodded lightly and said, "If China and I can't compare to the status of the United States in his heart, I think we won't be able to get together." ”

"If you can't get together, let's separate, if you don't have the same aspirations, it's not interesting to get together." Lin Zhenhua said.

Lin Fanghua asked, "Brother, since Du Xiangyang has made it clear that he doesn't want to return to China, why do you still hand over the foundation to him for management?" ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Du Xiangyang is not bad in nature. He didn't want to return to China, just because he coveted the conditions abroad, but in terms of his attitude towards me, he didn't change, and it was more appropriate to hand over the foundation to him than to someone else. What's more, he himself can't return to China, and he has some regrets for me, so he will try harder to persuade other students to return to China in order to make up for what he owes me. ”

"Lin Zhenhua, how can you be so insidious!" Lin Fanghua said to his brother with a smile.

Lin Zhenhua also laughed, and he said: "By the way, Xiaofang, now that you have only one suitor, Ma Jie, is he the most hopeful to become my brother-in-law?" I think Ma Jie will jump for joy when he knows the news. ”

Lin Fanghua said angrily: "No, my rejection of Du Xiangyang does not mean that I will choose Ma Jie." It's really not good, I'll be a leftover girl, didn't you say I would be a leftover girl? ”

"Don't." Lin Zhenhua said, "I still hope that you can marry a wishful husband." You really think Ma Jie can't do it, there are a large number of young talents in our company, I'll let them ** up another day, let you choose whatever you want. ”

"What have I become? I'm a princess! Lin Fanghua smiled and pushed his brother.

The brother and sister walked forward with a smile and a smile, and a small gift house appeared in front of them, Lin Zhenhua was moved and said, "Xiaofang, accompany me to this store to have a look." ”

Lin Fanghua glanced at the window and said, "What's the matter, do you want to buy me a toy?" Comrade Lin Zhenhua, do you know how old your sister is now? ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course I know, but I don't want to buy you something, but Lan Lan told me before going abroad and asked me to buy her a doll." I won't buy it either, so you can just help me pick it. ”

"He Lan?" Lin Fanghua said, "Didn't she go to college?" Why do you need dolls? ”

Lin Zhenhua said with a smile: "She is different from you, you are just a worker's child, but you are a second-generation official, and your psychology matures late." I went to see her at Renmin University this time, and she specifically asked me to bring her dolls. ”

Lin Fanghua turned his head to look at Lin Zhenhua and said very seriously: "Brother, how do I think, is the relationship between you and Lan Lan a little too close?" ”

"Will it?" Lin Zhenhua was stunned, "Do you think our relationship is very close?" ”

Lin Fanghua thought for a while and said, "I don't think I don't think so, I was really a little worried when I said this just now." Do you know, for more than a year, every time Lan Lan writes to me, she talks about you more than about me, you have to be careful, don't seduce other little girls. ”

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said: "How is this possible, it's not that she doesn't know Yang Xin, in fact, I just treat her as another sister, according to the generation, she has to call me uncle." ”

"Hmph, you don't understand a girl's mind!" Lin Fanghua said, "Brother, I can warn you, if you dare to mess around, see if I don't go back and tell Yang Xin." ”。 )
