Chapter 216: Acquaintances?

The last stop on the tour is an artisanal chocolate spot.

This shop allows customers to make their own white chocolate or dark chocolate in a variety of shapes.

Liu Ling had a lot of fun, and finally made a doll that looked like Xu Yuan.

Holding the packaged gift box, the two walked out of the door of the store with a smile.

Looking at her happy appearance, Xu Yuan couldn't help but lean over and kiss her face.

Looking at the face that was gradually dyed red, a doting smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that it was not early, Xu Yuan was ready to return to the hotel with Liu Ling.

I have to catch a plane tomorrow, and I have to go to bed early no matter what I say today.

That's right, go to bed early, just simply go to bed early.

But at this moment, Xu Yuan unexpectedly heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Xiaohui, will you marry me?" A man with a rose in his hand stood on one knee in front of a beautiful girl and looked at her affectionately.

However, the proposal in the very center of the square did not seem to impress the girl.

"Didn't we say okay, when you settle down, we're talking about marriage?"

Following the voice, Xu Yuan looked at the man who was kneeling on one knee with some surprise, isn't that Zheng Weijie?!

He really didn't expect to meet his friends who grew up in an orphanage here!

In the third year of junior high school, Xu Yuan chose to drop out of school because of the funds in the orphanage, but Zheng Weijie, who has always had excellent grades, supported it with donations from caring people.

When they were in school, the two played quite well, but after forming a new social circle, the two rarely contacted each other again, even if Xu Yuan finally became famous, Zheng Weijie never contacted him.

As for why, Xu Yuan can figure it out to some extent, most likely because he can't save that face.

Ignore others when they don't mix well, and when others are famous, they stick to it with a shy face, and there is a bit of a philistine flavor in it.

If you don't get in touch, at least you can brag with your friends and colleagues, "That Xu Yuan, chairman of Yuanying International Group?" Hi I know, we used to grow up together! ”

According to the grandmother of the orphanage, Zheng Weijie was successfully admitted to a prestigious university with the support of caring people, and after graduation, he went to a famous university in Australia for graduate study.

Before leaving, he also went back to the orphanage, and shouted in the group that if anyone came to Australia, they would come to him directly, and he would be a treat.

Of course, Xu Yuan also knew that it was a polite remark.

Now calculated, he should have finished his graduate school, Xu Yuan thought that he would never see him from now on, but when he met by chance today, this feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign country is really a little indescribable.

It's just that Xu Yuan is not sure whether it is appropriate for him to greet him in this state.

"Give me a little more time, and I will definitely find a job," Zheng Weijie was a little anxious, not knowing what to say.

"Have you considered my feelings? You said that you have stabilized here, and I quit my job and came all the way from Huaguo to find you, but now? Aggressively, the girl's eyes were red as she looked at him.

Seeing that his old friend's face couldn't be pulled anymore, Xu Yuan sighed and walked towards him with the idea of breaking the siege.

"Zheng Weijie?"

Seeing someone greeting him, Zheng Weijie was stunned at first, and after seeing the comer clearly, he immediately exclaimed.

"Yes! It's Brother Yuan! Why are you here! Because he was too surprised, Zheng Weijie's voice was a little incoherent.

"Long time no see." Xu Yuan smiled.

"You still recognize me." The smile on Zheng Weijie's face couldn't tell whether it was bitter, happy or excited.

Those who dropped out of school in the third year of junior high school have become big bosses with a net worth of tens of billions.

The people who were optimistic about everyone at the beginning are now mixed up and can't even find a job, this sense of disparity really makes Zheng Weijie's heart a little sour.

"Of course, I remember you told me that I had time to come to Australia to play," Xu Yuan said with a smile.

"Don't mention it." Zheng Weijie touched his nose embarrassedly, "I always said that when you come to Australia, I will invite you to eat special products, you kid mixes so well, I'm embarrassed to speak." ”

"You, are you Xu Yuan?"

Xu Yuan suddenly noticed that the girl next to Zheng Weijie was looking at him excitedly, as if there were little stars shining in her eyes.

"That's right." Xu Yuan smiled, then looked at Zheng Weijie and asked, "This is your girlfriend?" ”

"My name is Zhou Huimin, and I'm your fan."

"Hmm." The expression on Zheng Weijie's face was a little embarrassed.

Seeing that he didn't plan to say more about this matter, Xu Yuan hurriedly changed the topic, "It's rare to see you, or I'll treat you to a meal." ”

"Then what's so embarrassing, I should invite you for this meal."

"It's okay, you should be a local tyrant," Xu Yuan directly terminated the topic of who was treated.

He can see that Zheng Weijie's economy is not optimistic, he just wants to find someone to catch up with the past, if it brings a burden to his old friends, then he is a little unhappy in his heart.

"Okay then." Seeing what Xu Yuan meant, Zheng Weijie nodded a little embarrassedly and agreed

The two of them came to a restaurant near the city center, and from the outside, you could see the luxury of the restaurant and the high price of the money.

Looking at the waiters in formal clothes at the door of the restaurant, Zheng Weijie's expression was a little unnatural, but when he saw his female ticket cheering, he couldn't bear to say to Xu Yuan to change places.

Seeing that Xu Yuan did not have any dissatisfaction on his face, Zheng Weijie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was very worried that Xu Yuan would have the idea that he would deliberately kill the big boss, and now it seems that he is too worried.

Zheng Weijie is obviously overwhelmed, Xu Yuan is not stingy to the point that he can't afford a meal.

At the dinner table, except for Liu Ling, who spoke very little, the three of them chatted very well, and at the dinner table, Zhou Huimin frequently toasted Xu Yuan, showing his lively and cheerful side, and at the same time inquired about his private life intentionally or unintentionally, but Xu Yuan quietly blocked it.

That look, Xu Yuan saw too much.

Although he doesn't know why his old friend likes such a woman, he still has this bottom line, so he keeps a distance from this girl named Zhou Huimin.

Zheng Weijie was very slow in this regard, but he didn't notice anything, and after a few beers, he chatted with Xu Yuan about what happened in the years after graduation.

Maybe it was because he drank too much and it was inconvenient to have a woman around, Zheng Weijie simply pulled Xu Yuan to the side of the viewing place, and then leaned on the edge of the railing and continued to talk.

Chatting and chatting, the two talked about the beginning of the business, Xu Yuan selectively skipped the sensitive topic, and took the process of finding a partner to get the source technology in one sentence, but just talked about the development of the company in detail.

"Yes, you! I met the general manager of source technology on the Internet, and I heard that the two of you are still ...... Tsk, Brother Yuan, you are a real cow! Zheng Weijie borrowed the wine. Exclaimed loudly.

"What's soaked," Xu Yuan scolded with a smile, "It's the CEO of my company, but the relationship may be a little unusual." ”

The braggadocio between men and men, it's okay to let go.

"But isn't that sister-in-law?"

Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed. "Uh, too."

"I'll go! It's too corrupt! Zheng Weijie was stunned for a long time, and then punched Xu Yuan the shoulder.

"Haha, man, let's talk about you without talking about this, what's the matter between you and Zhou Huimin."

Hearing this, Zheng Weijie suddenly sighed, "What else can I do, that's it." ”

"Originally, I thought I had won the iron rice bowl, but I didn't expect to lose the rice bowl without eating a mouthful of rice. Zheng Weijie's words were a little remorseful.

Although the wages of state-owned enterprises are not as high as those of foreign enterprises, their stability is still commendable, and even if they lose money, the state will not let those workers who have contributed to the construction of the country lose their jobs.

"Then why don't you go back?" Xu Yuan glanced at him suspiciously.

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on Zheng Weijie's face, "I want to go back, but she is unwilling to let me go back, in her opinion, it would be a pity if I wasted the skilled immigration qualification that I had obtained with great difficulty." As soon as I said about going back, she cried and cried about breaking up with me."

"But is that really good?" Xu Yuan asked.

To be honest, Xu Yuan, this Zhou Huimin's character, doesn't like it very much, he can't understand where this kind of girl is attractive.

But since Zheng Weijie likes it, Xu Yuan naturally can't say anything.

"Then try to satisfy her, although it may be a bottomless pit."

Zheng Weijie sighed, "I know, I'm just thinking about staying up until next year, if the market picks up, the demand for employment should still be able to rise." ”

Listening to Zheng Weijie's words, Xu Yuan fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he happened to be worried about the mineral matter, and there was a big gap in the wasteland, but according to Seke Enders, it would be difficult to get these things in any country, so Xu Yuan moved his mind to mine.

The Lucas Islands are extremely rich in marine resources, although there is no oil and gas in the territorial waters, but the seabed minerals have not yet been discovered.

Iron ore and bauxite have a low cost and can be bought on land, like any rare earth resources, if you spend money to buy them, to be honest, he still has some flesh pain.

As for how to find these ores from the bottom of the sea, Xu Yuan actually had a rough idea in his mind.

"Speaking of which, I just have a job, and I still lack someone, are you interested?"

Zheng Weijie was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I really don't understand IT at all, I understand your kindness, but I won't cheat you." ”

Zheng Weijie is an honest man, he knows that he is not capable of that.

"Who said that you should go to the future of science and technology, and let those who are engaged in resource exploration go to IT, isn't that blind?" Xu Yuan glanced at him, "I'm talking about Yuanying Mining, are you interested in coming?" ”

"Source Shadow Mining?" Zheng Weijie was stunned, he hadn't heard of it, "Are you serious?" ”

"Yes!" Xu Yuan nodded affirmatively, and then said, "Otherwise?" But do you know about marine resource exploration? ”

When it came to his profession, Zheng Weijie immediately became excited.

"Of course, my graduate school is specialized in marine resources, whether it is seabed deposits or seabed oil and gas projects, I have done it!"

"Okay, that's it! Then I'll arrange for someone to inform you! ”

Xu Yuan waved his hand and directly confirmed, of course, he didn't tell Zheng Weijie that the company had not been registered, otherwise this kid might have cried.
