Chapter 516: An Appointment Tomorrow
In the evening of the same day, after a day of sightseeing, the group of three embarked on the return journey to the west.
In this race in Sacramento during the day, because he did the "Uranus" team a big favor, Long Yun's mobile phone received an online banking transfer message on the way, and there was an extra 600,000 US dollars, equivalent to 2.4 million yuan, on the account. I didn't expect to get so much paid for a little effort, which made him a little unaccustomed; Fortunately, I had made an appointment with Lei Qiang and others before, and I would invite them to a big dinner in San Francisco the day after tomorrow.
Back at Shangguan Ling's parents' house in Auckland, after dinner, Long Yun and the Zhai family brothers and sisters sorted out a large pile of aeronautical models and souvenirs bought from NAARC, and the three of them talked and laughed until 9 o'clock in the evening.
Seeing that the time was not early, he went downstairs to the door of the living room, and found that his boss was still chatting and playing cards with his parents, so he raised his hand slightly to signal the eldest lady who looked over, and called someone to ask her what arrangements she had tomorrow. Hearing Long Yun's question, Shangguan Ling absentmindedly raised his hand to pull the loose placket of his springy clothes, covered his mouth a little sleepily and yawned a few times, and then told him that he didn't want to go out for the past two days, so he could leave her alone and move freely.
"I also heard from my sister that you played another game against the Americans today?"
"Oh, yes. -- I also made two bucks by the way. β
"Yes." Walking away two steps while talking, Shangguan Ling leaned sideways on the handrail of the stairs, and swept the eyes of the man in front of him with concern, "It's good to win, what is the specific process?" β
Originally, he still had a tired face, raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned. When it comes to the competition, she is full of energy. Seeing this, Long Yun knew that the eldest lady was interested again. So he picked up the tablet and pointed and poked, showed her a replay of the process of the game, and made a concise cameo commentator. Sure enough, hearing that Long Yun had defeated the veteran player of "MATRIX" again, Shangguan Ling happily hugged the computer and looked at it again, and praised him with a few rare words:
"Well done! - So, you also helped the 'Uranus' team sell a Su Twenty-Seven at a high price -- oh, no, Su Twenty-seven, right? It's okay. Some Americans are like that, with their eyes above the top and no one in their eyes. It's time to teach a lesson! Hee-hee~"
"Oh, Americans, some of them do."
Thinking of the auction scene during the day, the pretentious and cunning Maxim, and the conceited guy named James, Long Yun nodded knowingly. But at the same time, he also felt very strange, his boss didn't grow up in the United States and later returned to China to go to school, but it seems that she will rebel against foreign countries, does she have an enmity with Americans?
Otherwise, how to mention the game against the Americans. I can't wait to fight myself.
Feeling that the time was more appropriate, he asked the question after a while. also got Ling's answer:
"Yes, Long Yun, your observation is correct. Although I lived in the United States as a child, I didn't really like this country with a strong business atmosphere and a lack of culture. Of course, I don't have any preconceptions about Americans in general, but only a small part of those who are arrogant and only interested in profit; Unfortunately, like many countries around the world, these are the people who make the rules of society and control the lifeblood of the economy, so they don't have a good impression of the country. β
"Oh...... That's right. β
After listening to Ling's explanation, which was very similar to Long Yun's own speculation, he nodded in agreement.
In fact, now that you think about it, does China, which also has a vast territory and a large population, choose a path of modernization that is somewhat similar to that of the United States? This kind of road can't be said to be good or bad, but he still smiled at the girl in front of him:
"I can understand what you're thinking. But to be honest, this is not like what a businessman would say. β
"Really? β¦β¦ Maybe. But business is business, and life is the most important experience in life; Personally, I don't think that the means of making a living necessarily conflict with my personal beliefs, as long as I learn to compromise with reality. β
"Compromising with reality...... Oh, that seems to make sense. β
Feeling that the stunning girl in front of her seemed to exude a faint philosophical temperament, Long Yun nodded thoughtfully, but this feeling was immediately destroyed by her next words:
"Since you have time in the past two days, this is the topic," took out his mobile phone and sent a document to the tablet, Shangguan Ling instructed Long Yun, "I've been skipping classes for two weeks, and things have been delayed a lot; I will hand over these two articles to you, check and verify all the research numbers, polish them, typeset them, and send them to Professor Liang's email. ββWell, are you okay? β
"No, no problem...... Then I'm going to get busy. β
Holding the tablet in place, watching the eldest lady's clothes fluttering and her light steps disappear at the door of the living room, Long Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva a little helplessly, and now he finally really understands the subtle meaning of "compromising with reality".
Okay, compromise is compromise!
Anyway, the bodyguards also became the bodyguards, and the plumber repairers also did, so this thesis matter is nothing.
β¦β¦
As the night grew darker, Long Yun returned to the house and was busy for a while, and then he was ready to go to bed, of course, he had to do something before falling asleep: make a phone call to Su Xue.
It's been a few days since he entered the role of his boyfriend, and he is still a little unaccustomed to daily phone calls.
Holding his mobile phone and sitting at the desk, he chatted intimately with Su Xueting for a long time, and he told him about what he saw and heard in NAARC today, and told her about the race, and explained the game situation with added fuel and vinegar; When he drove the Su-27SK past his opponent and saw James with a look of astonishment, he made the little girl who listened attentively laugh:
"You, you can get into trouble anywhere, and it will break down the people who play against you. - By the way, does Ling have any arrangements tomorrow, do you need to accompany her? β
"No, she's still at homeβ"
While talking, thinking of the bunch of tasks he was ordered just now, Long Yun thought to himself that his boss was really not good to serve, she was quite idle to accompany her parents, and she would be miserable now; But this kind of trivial matter, he didn't plan to tell Su Xue, "I don't have anything to do, what's wrong?" β
"Well, it's actually tomorrow evening, at the concert hall of the San Francisco Civic Center, there's an SFMC report performance,"
The little girl on the screen unconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek while talking, her face flushed and seemed to be a little shy, "I will also perform on stage, if you have time...... Do you want to come and see it? β
"Good! Of course, I'll go! β
Hearing that he had the opportunity to enjoy Su Xue's performance again, and remembering the romantic scene at night on the cruise ship a few days ago, Long Yun smiled at his mobile phone with feeling.
Then he remembered that he made an appointment with Lei Qiang and others to meet another day today, did he just do this thing?
So he discussed it with Su Xue, and decided to meet in San Francisco tomorrow morning, and invite the friends of "Uranus" to a banquet at noon, and then continue the two of them to act alone. (To be continued......)
