Chapter 137: News from Saigon

The Li family is very rich, and the Li family is very frugal.

The eldest lady, the young grandmother, and Justina, who was treated the same as the former, did not rent off-campus like other well-to-do students, and the three of them were crammed into a small dormitory at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, where there was not even a place to put their feet if they were not cleaned up neatly.

In this place just a 40-minute drive from Detroit, the "City of Cars", it is not too convenient to get around without a car.

The three of them didn't learn anything else, so they learned to drive first.

Jointly owning a second-hand Ford car, whoever goes out drives it, and the one who drives the most is the eldest lady Li Weiqing.

Ding Buwang, the head of the Li family, has a total of two brothers and sisters, Li Weimin is also an official and a businessman, and the family business is very little, so men and women must be equal, and Li Weiqing must be trained to help share part of it, such as investment business.

The company has a representative office in Detroit, and the Bank of East Asia has a branch in Detroit.

She interns 30 hours a week at the Bank of East Asia's Detroit branch, researching the stocks her brother asks for attention whenever she has time.

If you can't get credits, you won't be able to complete your studies in the future, and you will be laughed at, and you can't delay your homework in the business school, which makes Li Weiqing so anxious that sometimes she can't even take care of eating, let alone fall in love like Giustina.

Yes, Justina is in love.

has had several boyfriends in just half a year, and he seems to be busier than Li Weiqing, either going on dates or participating in those messy carnivals, often getting drunk and not returning home after nights.

I didn't come back today, Wu Lijun looked at the empty dormitory and sighed lightly, closed the door and helped her make the bed. Turn on the lamp and read a book while waiting for the sister-in-law who went to Detroit for an internship to come back.

Giustina became the "Man of the Year". Many people looked down on her.

A couple of female schoolgirls next door. has speculated behind her back more than once how many people she has slept with, but Wu Lijun and Li Weiqing are by no means among those who look down on her.

She knew what she had been through before she came to the United States, remembered the scarred way her fiancé had just rescued her from Xining, and clearly understood that she had not come out of the shadows and had been living in nightmares, and perhaps alcohol and love could make her forget about it for a while.

It's just that it's not good that boyfriends change so often.

Wu Lijun couldn't help but throw down the book from the box under the bed from the new New Jersey boyfriend that Justina had just made, to her fiancé in Saigon, and to the wedding that would be held in a month. turned out the wedding dress that was ordered by the sister-in-law to the city, and couldn't help but compare it in front of the mirror.

The president is going to be the officiant, and there will definitely be many guests, she is looking forward to it, and she is intoxicated with it, when the phone suddenly rings.

"Sister-in-law, is Justina here?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Qingqing said excitedly on the other end of the phone: "Her father and brother have news that they were locked up as miners in a coal mine in Cambodia, and my brother has arranged for someone to go to Cambodia to rescue them." They will be able to bring people back to Saigon by tomorrow at the latest. Go find her, and I'll rush back." Celebrate well! ”

This is not the first time that there has been news, Wu Lijun was afraid that Justina would be happy again, so she asked suspiciously: "Qingqing, is it accurate?" ”

"I can't be wrong this time, I can't be wrong! My brother said in the telegram that the name, height and appearance were all matched, and there was an insider who had worked under Zheng Mingshi to confirm that they were sent to Cambodia, but they didn't know where. ”

"Great, I'll go find her, you drive slower."

"Yes."

Hanging up the phone, Wu Lijun put on her coat and went straight to the dormitory where Justina's new boyfriend lived.

"The Lotus of Saigon", the fiancée of "Chopin Vietnam", who often participates in fundraisers organized by the school and the church, and often plays at the invitation of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on weekends, is very famous at the Ann Arbor campus, and even the most frivolous boys respect her, and ask how they can help when they see her.

"They should fool around with Lef, I have a car, I'll take you there."

It's so late, Wu Lijun really doesn't dare to leave school in a boy's car.

As if knowing what she was worried about, Louis immediately knocked on the next room, pushed the disgruntled roommate aside, called out a blonde girl, and said sideways: "Tanis, help, accompany us to get Justina back, Wu has something very important to look for her." ”

There are not many Asian students in schools, and even fewer Asian girls.

Tanise knew Wu Lijun, knew that she was the famous "Saigon Lotus", knew that she came from a very wealthy family in Vietnam, and even knew that she was about to get married, so she picked up her coat and smiled: "It is my honor to serve the bride-to-be." ”

"Thank you."

Tanise bent her arm and smiled mysteriously, "If you really want to thank you, invite me to your wedding." ”

"That's going to Vietnam."

The rich man next to him has a talented fiancé, and he has status and status. The senator's wife, the governor's wife, the president's wife, the mayor's wife, and even the Ford president's wife came over to invite her to dinner two days after three days.

Tanis didn't want to miss this opportunity to break into high society and catch a golden beetle, so she said confidently: "It's almost a holiday, I have time, and I can pay for the round-trip ticket by myself." ”

Giustina's father and brother have news, which is a great encouragement to her, and can let her get out of the shadows and return to a normal life, Wu Lijun is very happy, and agrees: "If you really want to go, I will officially send out an invitation, and as for the round-trip air ticket, I will bear it." ”

"Wow, you're so generous. My dear, I won't rob your fiancé with you, swear to God. ”

She laughed so hard that Wu Lijun smiled and said nothing.

Louis was completely convinced, pulled the car door and teased: "Tanis, you don't plan to take Jason with you, he's your boyfriend." ”

"That was before, not now, even if it is, why not bring it with him."

Tanis was very attentive, and while letting Wu Lijun get in the car first, she smiled and said, "With such a good girlfriend as Wu, I want to replan the future." In fact, I sing very well, and if the groom helps me write a song in the face of the bride, I can become an instant star. can go to Hollywood to develop. ”

Wu Lijun couldn't hold back anymore. Immediately laughed back and forth.

"Wu. I'm not kidding, you have a film company, I can be an actor, I can help you make money, really. ”

Wu Lijun smiled and asked, "Tanis, do you know a lot?" ”

"Of course, I know almost everything about you and your fiancé. Success is always reserved for those who are prepared. I'm glad I've done all the preparations, and I'm glad that Luis was able to give me this opportunity to serve you. ”

Louis leaned on the steering wheel and scolded with a smile: "Wu, don't pay attention to her, she doesn't know anything, she knows gossip." ”

The family's investment business is now in charge of the father-in-law, and is mainly focused on stocks, and the fiancé has mentioned more than once in his letters that he will invest in industry in the future, get involved in the news media and entertainment industry, and have his own theater chain in the United States. Let her and Qingqing pay attention to the talents on the American side.

The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor is known as the "Public Ivy League" and is known as the "Model Public University" along with the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin. Most of the people who can get into this place are elites, and girls like Justina and the kind of boys who fool around with her are only a very few.

It's definitely better to use a classmate who knows the bottom line than a stranger, and doesn't BEA have many classmates with fiancés?

Wu Lijun pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Tanis, you are so beautiful, capable, and enterprising, if you want, you can come to Li Pictures or other companies controlled by our family for internships next year; Luis, you and my sister are classmates, and you can go to the Detroit branch of the Bank of East Asia for an internship. ”

The so-called internship is a job opportunity, and it is not a matter of time before you are promoted and raised!

Tanise was ecstatic, put her arm around her and asked, "Really, you're not kidding?" ”

"No kidding."

"My God, I'm moving to the dormitory tomorrow, I'm going to live next door to you, and I'll be there for you like the best housekeeper ever."

Louis was also very happy, looked up in the rearview mirror and said, "Wu, it's an honor to be invited, but I don't plan to work in a big company or a bank, I plan to start my own business in the future." As for what to do, I haven't figured it out yet, but there will always be something to do. ”

Tanise blurted out, "Fool, you'll regret it." ”

"Don't do that."

Thinking of her fiancé, Wu Lijun said with empathy: "Actually, I think boys should start their own businesses, Louis, stick to your ideals, and you will succeed." ”

"Thank you."

"No thanks, if you find the right direction in the future and don't have enough start-up capital, you can find me or my sister, and we will introduce you to my husband. He is very discerning and will definitely give you an investment. ”

……

Talking and laughing, the three of them soon came to an apartment.

There were several motorcycles parked at the door, and there were people having parties inside, which was very noisy and noisy, and the old lady opposite was cursing.

Following Louis into the living room, the smell of smoke and alcohol wafted through his nose.

Wu Lijun covered her mouth, only to see Louis push a long-haired boy aside, and pull up Justina, who was dizzy and was being taken advantage of by several people. Amid the deafening music, Tanise loudly warned the boys who tried to stop them.

Giustina's so-called new boyfriend noticed Wu Lijun, hurriedly stopped the companions, and said apologetically: "Wu, I'm sorry, what you saw is not true, this is a misunderstanding." ”

Wu Lijun forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and said coldly: "She is my sister, don't get close to her again, don't let me see you again." ”

There are several girls in the school who are determined not to be offended, and this one in front of me is one of them.

The guy from New Jersey didn't want to get into trouble, so he looked at Justina, who was being stuffed into the car by Louis, and asked, "......What if?" What if she came to me? ”

"She can't look for you, and she won't look for you again." Wu Lijun didn't want to stay here for a second, and after finishing speaking, she pulled Tanis and turned her head away.

A well-dressed bald head asked puzzledly, "Man, who is this woman?" ”

Another boy put down the wine bottle and said: "Saigon's Lotus, the fiancée of 'Vietnam Chopin', the first lady invited her to dinner at the White House, a frequent visitor to the principal's house, on the cover of Time magazine, it is as easy to see big people as eating, and it is better to stay away from her if you don't want to cause trouble." ”

"But she's Vietnamese, how can she have a French sister?"

"God knows how, maybe it's her father's illegitimate daughter, Vietnam was a former French colony, and it's entirely possible." (To be continued.) )
