6. Allah is a native of Shanghai
Young Master Ge drove to the dock at a gallop, and saw Master Ge and Mrs. Ge standing on the dock from a distance, Master Ge was wearing a Chinese-style gown, and Mrs. Ge was wearing a Chinese-style cheongsam. Fortunately, New York is a hodgepodge of places, and it is not uncommon to see people in fancy clothes, and for this Chinese guy in a long shirt, the eyes of Americans are not paying attention to it after a little fixation. At that time, in the era of official cooking in the United States, people didn't care about anything other than money and the happiness that money brings.
Young Master Ge saw the dress of Master Ge, and there was no surprise and surprise when he met his relatives in a foreign country, he was really afraid that this old father from China would lose his face in China (himself) by dressing too strangely, although Americans don't care, but people who have lived in a foreign country for a long time always consciously or unconsciously demand themselves and their compatriots according to the most stringent standards of foreigners. For example, the current Young Master Ge is very afraid that Master Ge's outfit will frighten some rare and strange Americans, and cause unnecessary trouble.
Hurriedly hired a small worker to carry Mr. Ge's luggage into the car, paid the tip, and then carefully looked at his father. I think it was a few months of drifting on the sea, the diet was not very thoughtful, the second old man looked a little haggard, but the spirit was very good, because the first time I went abroad, although Shanghai is a foreign field, I am used to seeing foreigners, and Master Ge himself is familiar with English, but the streets are full of foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes, and there are people who are tall and black like charcoal, it is inevitable that they are a little curious, and they only think that Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, and her eyes are a little insufficient. Along the way, Young Master Ge picked up the landmark buildings as far as his eye could see and gave a brief explanation to Master Ge and Mrs. Ge. Mrs. Ge was surprised and said, "Oops!", Master Ge was naturally majestic and did not speak, but the look of surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.
When he arrived at the apartment, Young Master Ge had to hire someone to move things as usual, which was natural in Young Master Ge's consciousness. Although Master Ge said that he is now developed, after all, he is from a poor family, and he can't see Young Master Ge's style, so he insists on taking his own luggage. Young Master Ge couldn't help it, so he had to move his large and small luggage with Master Ge and Mrs. Ge. As soon as I entered the door, I happened to see Lisa Liu carefully studying Andrew's notes, looking like a scholarly lady. Seeing Mr. Ge and Mrs. Ge, Lisa Liu immediately gave the most enthusiastic welcome to Westerners. Master Ge and Mrs. Ge didn't know the roots of Lisa Liu, and this unexpected warm welcome made Master Ge and Mrs. Ge dizzy, and suddenly gave birth to a son in their hearts and finally grew up and sighed.
After sitting down, with the coffee floating in front of her with the taste of New York, Mrs. Ge looked carefully at Lisa Liu sitting in front of her, and muttered in her heart: "This skin is too dark, and the clothes are not fine, there is comparable to the young lady in Shanghai." If you want to say that you are right, you still have to find a Miss Shanghai. It's good to talk about love here. No wonder Mrs. Ge is dissatisfied with Lisa Liu's appearance, although Lisa Liu is tall, but definitely not the slenderness of an oriental woman, but a little strong, painted a pair of tall thin eyebrows, a pair of slitted eyes, the bridge of the nose is not high, the cheekbones are not low, and the mouth is not the cherry mouth of the Chinese aesthetic. Lisa Liu's appearance is quite in line with the imagination of Westerners for Oriental women, and Western men are the most fond of flattering women to show their gentlemanly demeanor.
Mrs. Ge is fooling around. Young Master Ge couldn't wait to show his results. After offering the pipe and the sniffing cup, he solemnly displayed the calligraphy and paintings collected from the Irish antique store a few days ago, and finally solemnly took out the doctoral diploma of Claydon University that he bought for 500 dollars. Originally, this Claydon University was a Xibei diploma, and there were some worries in her heart, but when Mrs. Ge saw this diploma, she regarded it as a treasure, and the other real trophies of Young Master Ge were all ignored. The little apprehension in Young Master Ge's heart was transformed into pride.
Young Master Ge's careful thinking naturally couldn't escape Master Ge's eyes. Coming all the way, seeing that Young Master Ge's style really came to the West to be a young master of the Kuo family, he held his stomach and was about to have a seizure, but when he saw the doctoral diploma that his son gave you, his anger had disappeared, and he looked carefully at Young Master Ge's trophies, and there were still a few pages of books from the Song Dynasty, although the whole thing was not worth much, but compared with 10 dollars, it was still much more cost-effective, and I couldn't help but that the resentment that Young Master Ge had accumulated in his heart for not going home for a few more years disappeared, It's just that I can't imagine that this doctoral diploma in my hand is a fake diploma bought with money. In my heart with Mrs. Ge is an idea, my son has grown up! But in order to maintain the majesty of Yan's father, he still said a cold "um" and stopped talking.
Considering that Mr. Ge and Mrs. Ge crossed the ocean, they must be very nostalgic for the taste of China, so Master Ge specially took Lisa Liu, Mr. Ge and Mrs. Ge to Chinatown to find a Chinese restaurant and ordered a table full of Chinese food, which was regarded as a pick-up for the second elder. At that time, China means barbarism and backwardness, at best, beautify China with mystery, although the word "mysterious country in the East" has the meaning of praise, but it means more barbarism and ignorance, and there are some hardships in the number of people who go to Chinatown to beg for a living, or they are directly sold as pigs, and there are not many people who know how to cook, even if they can cook, that is, they are commonplace, and they can't make high-class dishes and exquisite dishes, where are there any decent restaurants? Sure enough, Mrs. Ge saw a table of black and slimy dishes, which were not comparable to the most common meat steamed buns on the street in Shanghai, and said directly with disgust: Ala Shanghainese, but they can't see this, they all say that Citigroup is good, no matter how simple a single meal can't be cooked.
The so-called Zhizi Mo Ruoniang, in turn, Zhiniang's is also Mo Ruozi. Young Master Ge invited Master Ge and Mrs. Ge here, and the main thing was not to eat, but mainly to let Master Ge fund the expedition. He said with a smile: "This is already the most palatable Chinese food I can find, how can I compare it with Shanghai?" You two elders just take care of your appetite and barely eat a few bites, or the hamburger sandwiches and other foreign things outside will surely spoil your appetite. I am sick in this foreign country, isn't my unfilial son a greater sin? Young Master Ge's intimate and warm words, as soon as he said it, he said that Old Master Ge and Mrs. Ge were in tears, and said vigorously: "My son has grown up!" Mrs. Ge thought that her precious son had crossed the ocean and studied hard, but he had to eat these hard-to-swallow meals every day, and her tears kept flowing, and even the handkerchief on her hand was wet.
Young Master Ge saw that his foreshadowing was basically successful, so he had a happy meal with Master Ge and Mrs. Ge. In the middle of the banquet, I said this matter by the way, thinking that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Andrew has already made a windfall through this matter, why don't we do it? If it succeeds, the Lao Ge family will become famous overnight, and will eventually become a family with a foundation.
Mrs. Ge couldn't hold her breath, and immediately expressed her opinion: Allah is from Shanghai, and he can't see this, what kind of expedition team, scientific expedition team, are all deceitful business, all of them are done by some unpopular little deflated people, what is it bad to use good money for, do you have to do this wasted business? It's better to speculate on stocks and gold! No matter how bad it is, buying a house in this part of New York is also excellent.
Master Ge was calm, wiped his mouth seriously, and said slowly: "Allah is from Shanghai, and he has to follow the rules when doing things. What you're saying is a matter for the long term, and no one wants to mess with money. But since this matter is always related to China, it would not hurt to go to Shanghai first and then invite a few old gentlemen to discuss and discuss. ”
After speaking, he was afraid that Young Master Ge would not look good in front of Lisa Liu's face, and said half-coercively and half-seducingly: "After going abroad for so long, I have to go back to Shanghai to find an errand, your mother and I have already taken care of you, and the position of a manager of Wynn is now vacant, which is very promising." In addition, the Chinese pay attention to unfilial piety, and you always have to stay with our old Ge family before you can go out. When the time comes, if you want banknotes, you want your son to have a son, and you can do whatever scientific research you want. We can't control you! ”
Having said that, it is already very clear that the matter of paying money is not concerned for the time being, if it is really profitable, it will also be returned to Shanghai to take care of it. At first, the meal was quite warm, but later it was quite unhappy. Lisa Liu is also a temperamental, and before the meal was finished, she hurriedly said goodbye. Mr. Ge and Mrs. Ge called themselves uneducated, and they were even more determined to marry a local lady in Shanghai.
As for Andrew's notes, Lisa Liu surprisingly believes they are true. Since Young Master Ge can no longer meet his requirements, he naturally doesn't have to hang himself on a tree. Lisa Liu considers herself attractive, and there is no shortage of eager suitors around her, including some children of official eunuchs and children of rich families. As the saying goes, the east is not bright and the west is bright, and there are obstacles on Young Master Ge's side, and there may not be a bright road in other places. So I went to various parties in a hurry, contacted feelings, and promoted my ideas by the way, hoping to find a suitable investor.
But the reality is very cruel, Lisa Liu's plan was spoken, except for Young Master Ge who gave a positive response, everyone else stayed away from it. In fact, this matter is normal, although over the years, some bold people have benefited a lot from China, Shanghai is known as an adventurer's paradise, and plans about China naturally attract the attention of wealthy people in New York and beyond, but no one will decide to spend a lot of money to go to the other side of the world to explore just because of an unknown notebook, after all, with the global exploration of the British Empire, there are many colonies, and there is not much space left to continue the exploration. With this money and this heart, it is better to secretly communicate with the officials in the National Government* Government, do some comprador business, and keep it without losing money.
A few days later, Lisa Liu suddenly realized: If you want to realize your wish, I am afraid you still have to start with Young Master Ge. In accordance with the Chinese lady's morality, she sought perfection to win the favor of Master Ge and Mrs. Ge, and finally decided that Young Master Ge would go to Shanghai. In fact, according to the intentions of Mr. Ge and Mrs. Ge, this Lisa Liu cannot be a candidate for the daughter-in-law of the old Ge family in terms of family affairs or appearance, but there is one thing that makes Mr. Ge and Mrs. Ge very tempted, this Lisa Liu is also a foreign girl born in the United Kingdom, and marrying home can earn a lot of face for the old Ge family.
