Volume IV Prosperity 46 sends you to study abroad
"You're lucky to get out of here." Wang Chen smiled playfully, he came tonight to pick up Mao Fugui.
Mao Fugui's face sank slightly, and he guessed in his heart that this mysterious man in white would take him somewhere, and the situation of not being able to control his own fate made him extremely annoyed, so he could only be silent.
"Don't you ask where your next stop is?" Wang Chen said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, the outcome is not our decision anyway, it makes no difference whether you ask or not." Mao Fugui said coldly.
"That's just as well." Wang Chen nodded and said with a smile again.
"I know you hate me, but this time I promise you'll like my arrangement. Hehe, it's a place that many people dream of, a place that allows you to get in touch with the world more deeply. If the table is good, you will soon be free. ”
Wang Chen's words made Mao Fugui's heart move, he scowled for a moment, but after all, he still didn't ask what the next stop was.
However, the last sentence "You will soon be free" made his heart flutter, and he was looking forward to the next trip.
The next day, a car drove in, and in Albania's surprise, Mao Fugui opened the car door and sat in.
The car slowly drove out of the California steel plant, watching the tall chimney drift away, Mao Fugui felt a little emotional.
In the past few months, he has been somewhat accustomed to this hot place, the roaring machine, the tall factory, the busy production line, the honest and diligent workers, and the enthusiastic night school, all of which have left a deep impression on him, making him feel that his days are busy and fulfilling, and he can come into contact with many new things almost every day.
If the jungles of Cuba exercised his physique, the power of Fontana's steel shook his soul and made him realize that knowledge and talent create tremendous productivity.
It wasn't that he didn't have a chance to escape, but on several occasions he gave up. He had some interest in the job of a steelworker, and Guò had a first-hand experience, inspecting the steel industry in Fontana and recording what he saw and heard. After a long time, the accumulated material can almost write a report on the steel industry.
"What? Reluctant? Wang Chen said with a smile.
"Sort of." Mao Fugui nodded, "Although I don't know why you are so scheming, but it does make me gain a lot of knowledge, but I still hate you." ”
"Maybe! I also find it boring. Wang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.
Fontana has direct trains to Los Angeles, which is larger and more prosperous than Fontana. Looking at the endless stream of cars on the highway, as well as the modern buildings lined up on the roadside, banks, governments, department stores, and theaters dazzled Mao Fuguo.
"It's much more developed than Shanghai." He muttered quietly.
"Los Angeles is an emerging industrial city, with a well-developed oil industry, steel industry, aircraft industry, agriculture, financial industry, and San Francisco in the north are the two most important cities on the West Coast of the United States. The buildings here are not very high, and the high-rise buildings in New York and Chicago are more prosperous than here, and the 50-story buildings are probably not seen before, and if you have the chance, you will be generous. Wang Chen introduced with some excitement.
"So the place I'm going to now is Los Angeles, isn't it?"
"Of course. ////( n)”
"So what to do this time? Shinong Gonggong, I've done two, this time it won't be a businessman, right? Mao Fugui said tentatively. In fact, he still cares a lot about the role he will play next.
"You have the ability to do business, and I have no objection. Here, the number of people in the first class is the merchants, and this is the country of merchants, not quite like the bureaucrats you know who rely on power to sell their hands. Sooner or later, you will find out what money means in this society. Wang Chen smiled faintly.
"Money worship, decay!" Mao Fugui snorted.
"Childish!" Wang Chen said disdainfully. Xindao: It seems that it is really right to send him to study! If you don't wash his brain, the tendon in his brain will never be twisted. Although this person is quite smart.
"Maomao! You have great ambitions, you are smart enough, and your insight into people's hearts is also first-class. But still be modest, in this world of flowers, money worship is only one side, and there are also many wonderful places. Wang Chen admonished.
I guess it's because he wants to part, he has a lot of words today.
Mao Fugui was silent and thoughtful, although he had been in the steel factory for several months, every moment, he found that he was in a strange world.
"Against bookism, there is no right to speak without investigation!" This sentence popped into his head.
The car passed through the downtown area of Los Angeles and slowly drove towards the suburbs. In the evening, they arrived in Hollywood.
"Welcome to Hollywood!"
They stayed at the Hollywood Hotel, the car just stopped, and the waiter came to receive them with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to help them carry their luggage, and the warm and respectful appearance made Mao Fugui can't bear to refuse.
He didn't have much luggage, just a box of books and a few clothes.
The luxury of the presidential suite shocked Mao Fugui, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart. Indeed it is rotten capitalism!
Especially the huge crystal chandelier on his head made him shake a little and felt unreal.
After the waiter moved his luggage to the room, he stood aside respectfully, looking at Mao Fugui expectantly.
There are really nothing to say about this enthusiasm, the service is very attentive, what a nice guy. He praised in his heart.
"It's none of your business, you go out first!" Mao Fugui was not used to being served, so he waved his hand and let the waiter leave.
The waiter was slightly stunned, a little hesitant, and a little unwilling in his eyes.
"According to the rules here, Mr. Mao, you have to pay this waiter a tip." Wang Chen reminded.
"Tip?" Mao Fugui was puzzled. Listen to Wang Chenyi, okay, follow the customs.
"How much?" He asked.
"A dollar! Be generous! Wang Chenjian said.
"A dollar?" Mao Fugui looked at Wang Chen with wide eyes, it costs a dollar to help carry the luggage? I knew I didn't want him to help.
I have hands and feet, and I have enough food and clothing, why do I need to spend a dollar to be wronged?
Mao Fugui was a little angry in his heart, he looked at the waiter next to him with an expectant face, and finally understood why this guy was so enthusiastic?
The little good impression I had for the other party in my heart immediately disappeared, and my understanding of money worship became more profound.
"Huh." The waiter smiled impeccable at Mao Fugui, so that he had to accept this "smiling and polite blackmail." ”
After grinding for a while, he took out a dollar with body temperature from his pocket and paid it to the waiter.
"Thank you. Have a nice day, and if you need help, just ask. The waiter took the bill and smiled brightly. And I thanked him in Chinese.
Mao Fugui was slightly stunned, only then did he understand, it turned out that the waiter actually knew Chinese, it was really incredible, a small waiter still had this kind of ability?
"Tipping is a very common habit, like picking our teeth after eating. In hotels, restaurants or other public service places, customers will generally give a little tip to the waiter, of course, it is okay not to give it, but the skin should be thick enough and not afraid of contempt.
There are a lot of Chinese people in Los Angeles, and they sometimes stay here, so some clever waiters will learn a few words of flattering Chinese, which is conducive to their income. ”
Wang Chen explained with a smile. looked at Mao Fugui's tight face, and said with a smile: "By the way, you will pay for the house tonight!" ”
"What?" Mao Fugui looked at Wang Chen nervously, and after a while, he asked weakly, "How much does it cost for a night?" ”
"$50!"
"Damn! I'll kill you! Holy, what are you doing in such an expensive room? What a loser. Mao Fugui clenched his fists, really wanting to smack Wang Chen's smiling face a few times. All this time, he was eaten to death by this guy.
"No! Staying in such a luxurious room will cost you a long life! I'm going to change to a smaller one. He said firmly.
$50 is worth more than 100 oceans, I think when he was a librarian, his monthly salary was only 8 oceans! Thinking of spending 100 oceans to sleep one night, Mao Fugui's heart is really unsteady.
"Oh, you're so boring! What do you want so much money for? Stingy! Wang Chen knew that Mao Fugui still had more than a hundred dollars in his pocket, and the salary he had just paid was not long.
"There is no reason to spend money like that. Waste! Do you understand? Mao Fugui said with a sad face.
"Alright!" Wang Chen smiled, "I spent this $50, and I will pay you back $1,000 tomorrow!" Don't toss, I'm still tired if you're not tired? ”
$1,000? Is there such a good thing?
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Mao Fugui tried to find the answer from Wang Chen's smiling eyes. "What are you going to do? I'm not a joke! He said tentatively.
Hollywood is most famous for movies, and in addition to making movies, Mao Fugui can't think of any other job that can get $1,000.
"Don't worry, just like your bear, you still want to make a movie? Hollywood directors are not so discerning. Wang Chen was amused by Mao Fugui's sensitivity and rich association.
"Anyway, it's a good thing, you can rest assured."
Dinner was used in the room, and there was no need to tip this time, so that Mao Fugui's heart was a little more steady. Seeing Wang Chen drinking the sour and astringent red wine beautifully, Mao Fugui was very unimpressed with this kind of petty bourgeoisie, and didn't understand what was delicious.
Think about it, the hot and sour noodles in my hometown are delicious, refreshing and affordable, and they are enough, but they don't cost a few coppers
This night was a little difficult for Mao Fugui, the spacious room, the big and soft bed, and all kinds of expensive decorations, all of which were meticulously carved and exquisite, which made him feel great and a little apprehensive.
From time to time, the high-pitched or low voices of men and women from next door made him even more annoyed, and he couldn't wait to chop off the pair of low-level and interesting dog men and women.
Fortunately, he is an atmospheric person after all, with a strong mental endurance, perseverance, and the noble spirit in his heart allowed him to resist the sonic attack of the ** next door. After tossing and turning for half a night, I finally fell asleep.
That night, he had a dream in which he had accomplished an unprecedented feat, and that all people had been conquered under his feet, and that he was full of spirit.
It's just that behind that brilliant splendor, as soon as he turned around, he found a pair of cold faces, silently peeking at him, which woke him up.
A dream.
Maybe he consumed too much body, and after Mao Fugui had almost finished reading a book, the next room opened the door, and Wang Chen walked out with a confused face.
"Last night—"
"Oh! You said that French woman, she didn't bother you, did you? Wang Chen said a little apologetically.
"I'm not the kind of person you think I am, and I'm not interested in evaluating your behavior." Mao Fugui said impatiently.
"Where are we going in the afternoon?"
"William University." After Wang Chen swallowed a hamburger provided by the hotel, he finally gave Mao Fugui an answer.
"I'll go to William University in the future, and I've already helped you get a scholarship, so you don't have to worry about living expenses. But don't let us out of our sight yet, and I'm here to promise you that if you want to be free, you must get a bachelor's degree in law, a bachelor's degree in economics. These two are a must. Get one to reunite your wife, get two and immediately give you back your freedom, and never interfere with you again.
Of course, if you can get more degrees, we'll reward you. Money, politics, and even armament can be considered rewarding you. Speaking of this, Wang Chen stared at Mao Fugui with a stern expression.
"That's it?" Mao Fugui was a little confused, but looking at Wang Chen's rare expression, he understood that there was no room for negotiation in this matter.
"That's all. Your English is almost passable now, and I guess it will be no problem to attend classes after enrollment. One thing to keep in mind is that don't try to make any small moves until you've completed your goal, let alone try to investigate us, or you'll be fine, but you might be exiled to an island. If you don't know, just look at Robinson Crusoe. ”
Wang Chen admonished. "I'm not kidding you, that's the end of my character. No one will contact you again, but there will definitely be a bunch of unapproachable guys watching you, and they won't be able to do anything. ”
Float? Exile?
Thinking of a person on a desert island like a wild man, that scene made Mao Fugui's scalp faintly tingle.
Looking at Wang Chen's grim face, he nodded.
Thinking that they were about to separate, Mao Fugui had complicated feelings in his heart for this mysterious man who had taken him captive to the United States.
"Where are you going? What for? He asked.
Wang Chen was slightly stunned and said, "I don't know where I'm going?" However, I'm a doctor, so if you're interested, you might as well learn a little bit about it, and maybe we can talk about it next time we meet. Okay, I'm leaving, and someone will pick you up later. ”
Wang Chen tidied up his clothes, and disappeared into Mao Fugui's sight like a fluttering white cloud.
After making a fuss, you have to send yourself to school? Is this the final conclusion?
