Chapter 236: A Coincidence of Fate
Shrugging at Obano, Zhang Longchu replied vaguely with a strange expression: "It's nothing, man, I just think that sometimes fate is really magical."
In fact, after I returned to the United States, I only planned to go to a few different planes in the Federation to have a look, and I didn't think about dying and resurrecting to disrupt everyone's lives, but as a result, we actually met on the plane, and when it came to Howard, he was... Well, in short, it's all amazing, it's a coincidence to the point of being incredible. ”
"Yes, I think so too, but isn't there a proverb that says that history is made up of coincidences, and that's not surprising." Obano said with a smile: "Also, although I can understand your feelings, after all, since the day we met, once you encounter any difficult problems, you always like to solve them by yourself, and the most annoying thing is to implicate others."
But in any case, we are best friends, and it would be too much not to connect, and although Howard and I are too far away from your world to help you, we can still do it with a drink and a chat to cheer you up. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Longchu showed a hint of nostalgia and asked, "Just like the school police used to search my schoolbag, did you two always treat me to a pizza?" ”
"That's it, brother." Oubano nodded seriously, looked back at Zhang Longchu and replied, the two dead friends looked at each other for a while, and laughed inexplicably.
Amid their laughter and laughter, the plane flew at a speed of several kilometers and landed at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport a few hours later.
After arriving in New York City, Obano and his colleagues deliberately adjusted their working hours and accompanied Zhang Longchu to have fun in the most prosperous city of Millican for three days, during which his wife complained that her husband was resting but ignored herself and her daughter, and went out early and returned late all day.
However, when Zhang Longchu came to visit, after receiving a group of parent-child diamond jewelry with a B prefix brand, he did not complain, so the happy time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Obano started work and Zhang Longchu would also rush to Boston
On the night of their separation, they were slightly drunk at the bar, and the two walked through the streets of New York's wealthiest Upper West Side, speechless because of their sorrow.
The bleak night wind blew up, echoing on the streets surrounded by classical rice-style buildings, people couldn't help but feel a chill coming, facing the cold wind, Zhang Longchu took a deep breath and broke the silence, "New York really has four distinct seasons, and the weather feels a little colder than Los Angeles now, is it because of the rain in the morning?"
By the way, Aubano, are you really not thinking about my proposal anymore?
New York City also has a port, and it's more prosperous than the wharf in Los Angeles, invest in a few loaders, I estimate that you can earn it back in two or three years at most, you have been mixed in Los Angeles Newport since you were a child, although you don't have a license..."
"Hi buddy, I said I'm doing well now," Obano shrugged and interrupted Zhang Longchu's words: "Maybe you, like many people in society, feel that men are a bit sissy in empty clothes, don't deny it, Long Chu, don't deny it, in fact, if I wasn't doing nothing, I would definitely think the same way."
But this job is very interesting, you can travel all over the world for free, the salary is not low, and you don't have to worry about it, it is really suitable for me, and if you really have too much money, you must help me, in fact, you don't need to be so troublesome, just give cash, rest assured, I haven't had as strong self-esteem as you since I was a child, whether it's 1 million or 10 million, I can take it. ”
"Oh, Oubano you are still so thick-skinned," Hearing this, Zhang Longchu showed a helpless expression, thought for a while and said: "Okay, I respect your opinion, 10 million meters will be handed over to you within 1 week at the most, but it is not cash but a fund."
Okay, I'm leaving, friend, and one last warning to you, a moderate amount of money can indeed bring happiness, but if you want to continue to be happy after a certain limit, you can only rely on spiritual satisfaction, goodbye. As he spoke, he reached out and stopped a taxi, opened the back door and got in.
The car started slowly, watching it disappear into the corner of the street, Obano, who had not reacted for a while, blinked, suddenly came back to his senses, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed Zhang Longchu's phone, and shouted: "What kind of philosopher are you pretending to be, why did you tell a lot of life mottos, and suddenly said that you would leave, did you forget that I was going to work at the airport tonight."
And that, that, give me 10 million meters of the fund, is it true? ”
"You mainly want to ask the second question, Aubano," Zhang Longchu said with a smile while sitting in the back seat of the car, looking out the window at the ever-changing street scene, "Of course what I said is true."
Since you don't want a career, then giving you a fund that can generate 400,000 or 500,000 yuan a year, can make people's lives comfortable, but will not lose their fighting spirit, and spend all day drinking, should be the most suitable gift, don't refuse, take this as a reward for those hamburgers, cokes and pizzas you invited me before. ”
"You, you guy, really, really..." In the receiver of the phone, Obano was silent for a while, and his voice was so excited that he said incoherently: "I, I, I really don't know what to say Okay man, I'll ask you, when will the fund be transferred to my name, when?" ”
"Didn't you say that, within 1 week," Zhang Longchu, who thought that Ou Bano might refuse his kindness, paused for a moment, pouted and asked with a smile: "Ou Bano, you guy Ou Bano just said that his work is interesting and the pay is a lot, why are you suddenly in such a hurry to ask for money?" ”
"What are you doing in a hurry to ask for money, oh, what a hell, you ask such a ridiculous question, you must have forgotten all the wretchedness of living a poor life before," Obano cried, "Don't be like that, brother, you are from Orange Street, Los Angeles, and you are so hateful."
I'm still in a hurry to ask for money for something, ha, I want to change a new car that won't leak oil to my wife and take my daughter out to play;
Want to buy a package ticket to the Football Premier League and go to the Super Bowl;
I want to throw a new stack of hundred-dollar bills into the one who says as soon as we meet that a man being a waiter or a ballet dancer is the most disgusting profession, and the landlady gagged her in the face, and then moved immediately..."
"Okay, okay, don't get excited dear Aubano," Zhang Longchu said secretly with a smile after hearing this: "Although I don't have much financial knowledge, according to common sense, after setting up a fund, you always have to finish investing, and it will take a while before there will be returns, so it's useless for you to be anxious."
That's it, I'll send you a new car and a ball game package in two or three days, as for the change of house, I feel that your landlord's words are good, didn't you say it yourself just now, is it very sissy for men to be short, so it's better to wait for you to solve it yourself later.
That's it, see you next time. At this time, the bearded and curry-smelling driver who was driving the taxi in front of him suddenly asked in strange English: "Sir, you are from China, right?" ”
Zhang Longchu paused for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Why do you ask that, Mr. Driver?" ”
"Oh, I heard that you are very generous to give your friends cars and football tickets, and I feel that you are not from the United States," the driver shook his head and said: "Westerners are rich but very stingy, and never give precious gifts to friends;
We Orientals are very generous, and no matter how poor we are, we like to share our wealth with our friends and relatives. ”
"Is it..."Zhang Longchu smiled noncommittally and stopped talking.
After the taxi arrived at the airport, he paid the fare, waited in the terminal for a while, boarded the plane and rushed to Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, and took a taxi across the Charles River Bridge to Cambridge, where the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is located.
The time was close to the early hours of the morning, in this city with a population of just over 200,000, he found a hotel to live in, Zhang Longchu slept until the next morning, was eating breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and suddenly received a call from Howard, "Long Chu, Obano called me yesterday, saying that you came to Cambridge City, right, where are you now?" ”
"Oh, this big-mouthed guy, I didn't inform you on purpose, and rushed straight to Cambridge City, just to surprise you." Zhang Longchu stuffed a piece of egg cake into his mouth;
He said casually: "I'm having breakfast at a hotel called Math Man, and the Boston area is a federal college town, and even the name of the hotel is full of academic atmosphere." ”
"Math man, why haven't I heard the name of this hotel," Howard thought for a moment, and asked again, "In which neighborhood should I go to you?" ”
"No, Howard, I'd better go to the Massachusetts campus to find you," Zhang Longchu shrugged, "I just wanted to see what the best university in the federal government looks like." ”
"Okay then, Long Chu," hearing this, he unconsciously replied with a little pride in his tone: "I just got the permission to use the B9 Physics Experiment Building, just wait for you there, remember it's B9, just ask a random student, no one will know the location." ”
"Okay, I'll see you later, brother." Zhang Longchu said with a smile, then hung up the phone, and was about to continue eating, when he suddenly frowned slightly, pondered for a while, opened the mobile phone web browser, entered the two keywords of MIT and B9 Physics Laboratory Building, and clicked the search button.
In an instant, countless messages appeared on the screen, browsing the headlines of the messages, "MIT's most cutting-edge science laboratory...", "the cradle of the country's top scientists...", "the incubator of the most advanced technology"... and so on, he thought to himself: "There is a reason why that Jew guy repeats B9 and B9 again and again in a show-off tone."
Since it is the most advanced physics laboratory in the Federation, how can nuclear energy research, as one of the most important topics in high-energy physics, not be done...", and added the word 'nuclear physics' to the search term of the search engine. (To be continued.) )
