Chapter 334: Stupid
Song Yuanchao never thought that the real reason why Lu Hairong came to him to talk about this matter was to help him make the final choice, or that although Lu Hairong had made up his mind, he hoped that someone could cheer him up because of the only concern in his heart.
Song Yuanchao didn't know how to say it for a while, he had to admit that Lu Hairong was right when he said to himself, if there was anyone in this world who could give Lu Hairong the best advice, I am afraid it was Song Yuanchao.
In the end, Song Yuanchao still gave Lu Hairong a suggestion of approval, and this reply made Lu Hairong excited, because in his opinion, Song Yuanchao's approval was an endorsement of his decision, and it also strengthened his belief.
In fact, Song Yuanchao also knows that no matter how he answers, with Lu Hairong's heart, he will eventually take this step, don't look at Lu Hairong, who rarely speaks on weekdays, and his personality is also shy in his heart, but once a person with such a character makes a decision, it is difficult to be changed by outsiders. Instead of this, it is better to push the boat down the river and give Lu Hairong more encouragement, so that his choice of studying abroad in the future will be better.
Lu Hairong was ready to study in the United States, but did not choose Dongying, which is separated by a river. Although the friendship between China and Japan is being advocated now, the two countries are on their honeymoon, and there are many people who have studied in Dongying in recent years.
Because Lu Hairong studied economics, in his opinion, compared with Dongying, the United States on the other side of the ocean is better in this regard, and it can also better let him study.
Lu Hairong's English is not bad, he is different from Song Yuanchao, Lu Hairong and Li Xiaoyun are both fresh graduates who were admitted to Beijing Normal University, and their English is a bit basic. And in the first and second years of college, Lu Hairong was already studying English on his own, although his spoken English was poor, but he could still write English.
Today's self-financed study abroad is different from later generations, and in this era, because the relationship between China and the United States is also very good, people-to-people contacts are very convenient, as a college student of Lu Hairong Beijing Normal University, it is easy to pass the visa of the United States, and after going there, you will first go to the preparatory department for one year, and after passing the language barrier, you can pass the exam and officially enroll.
As for the cost, Lu Hairong has also thought about it, the air ticket or something can be afforded on the conditions of his family, and he can take the part-time job and scholarship to maintain his study and life there. In this era, there are not many restrictions on student work, and the US government has not yet issued a law restricting Chinese students from working, which is tacitly approved from the current point of view, until later, because of the boom in going abroad, a large number of so-called "international students" more and more people are working there to make a living, which has changed.
"The Sword Comes"
Lu Hairong's decision to study abroad is a secret between Song Yuanchao and him, and Song Yuanchao will not tell anyone until all the formalities are completed.
However, it won't be too long, if everything goes well, in two months, Lu Hairong will be able to embark on the road of study, leaving this land where he was born and raised, and heading to the other side of the ocean.
Lu Hairong firmly told Song Yuanchao that he would come back to serve the motherland after he finished his studies, but Song Yuanchao didn't pay too much attention to his statement, because there are many people who have changed their mentality before and after going out, but as a classmate and friend, Song Yuanchao hopes that Lu Hairong can fulfill his wish, and it is actually nothing to stay there or return to China in the future.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is late September.
With the coming of the National Day, there is gradually a festive atmosphere outside, and all units are preparing to welcome the advent of this major festival, and the Lin family and the Luo family are also preparing for the marriage of Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin, because their wedding is arranged on the day of the National Day.
Song Yuanchao specially brought Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin's suits, wedding dresses and those jewelry arrived early along with household appliances or something, Song Yuanchao's preparation of this gift made Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin extremely surprised, and even Lin Daoyuan and Chen Yuqin were very happy in addition to the accident.
Due to the family background of the Lin family and the Luo family, Lin Yuhang and Luo Lin's wedding will not be organized in a big way, at best, it is just to invite some relatives and friends who are relatively close. In addition, there are comrades-in-arms and colleagues on both sides of the newcomer.
Of course, there will definitely be uninvited people at that time, comparing whether it is Lin Yuhang or Luo Yanhua's status, it is not excluded that there will be people who take the initiative to "pat themselves on the back" to congratulate, considering this, Song Yuanchao directly proposed to put the wedding in his set of Mu Zhang'a's courtyard.
The place is big and open, and it is your own home, which is far more suitable than looking for a restaurant to hold a table. As for the problem of the cook, this is also very easy to solve, with the relationship between the Lin family and the Luo family, what good cook can't be found? Ask a famous master to take care of it, isn't it all solved?
Song Yuanchao's suggestion was quickly approved by everyone, especially after Luo Yanhua and Lin Daoyuan went to Mu Zhang'a's courtyard in person, they were very satisfied with the place, and said with a smile in front of Lin Daoyuan that Lao Lin had found a good son-in-law, and he actually owned such a big mansion, which can be regarded as entering socialism ahead of schedule, and Lin Yan will be blessed to marry in the future.
In the face of Luo Yanhua's ridicule, Lin Daoyuan was not angry, and said with a smile that this is Lin Yan's ability, and Luo Lin is not aggrieved when she marries Lin Yuhang, not to mention the house or anything, just the electrical appliances prepared for them by Song Yuanchao are the first share of Quan Yanjing, speaking of which, Luo Yanhua, the old guy, has taken a big advantage, and his daughter has not enjoyed it yet, but his daughter Luo Lin has already enjoyed it first.
The two old friends immediately laughed, and the friends and neighbors who had been friends for many years were now in-laws again, which was a joy on top of joy. In their hearts, it is really good to have good children, and it is true happiness to see them happy, and isn't that what is happening now?
When Lin Daoyuan and Luo Yanhua were sitting in Song Yuanchao's study, drinking tea and admiring the calligraphy and paintings that Song Yuanchao had carefully collected in the past two years, and chatting leisurely about the marriage arrangements of their children, Zhao Minglei, who had always been calm and thought he was personable, lost his usual calmness on the side of Dashilar, which was not far away.
In the most central area of Dashilar, there is a storefront that is bigger than Xiao Qiao's storefront, and behind the storefront is a house, Zhao Minglei is in it now, he didn't enter the house, and he was anxiously circling in the yard.
Zhao Minglei was like this more than an hour ago, and it is still like this now.
After turning around several times, he stopped and looked in the direction ahead, and saw that the people had not yet come back and continued to circle around, making it look no different from the ants on the hot pot.
I don't know how long it took, suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, Zhao Minglei subconsciously turned his head to look, when he saw the old bear rushing in, his face suddenly burst into joy and hurried forward.
"How? Did you mention the goods? ”
"Mention a hair!" Approaching the National Day, the weather in Yanjing has begun to be a little cooler, but Lao Xiong came all the way and was sweating profusely, and his big face was full of oil.
"Didn't mention it?" Zhao Minglei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "Is the car late?" Did you ask the station? ”
"It's not late, I also asked, this train is not loaded with our goods at all." Old Bear shook his head and said.
"Impossible! According to the time, it should have arrived, and yesterday did not mention that it should have arrived today, could it be that there was a problem with the wagon dispatch on the way? Zhao Minglei asked anxiously.
"You ask me, how do I know? Didn't you arrange this? The old bear glanced at Zhao Minglei, he ran to the train station several times in the past few days, waiting for hours, tossing back and forth until now, and he didn't see it, and he was unhappy.
"Impossible, this impossible!" Zhao Minglei said in a daze, the goods that had been arranged should have arrived three days ago, but the arrival of the goods on time, which had always been stable and punctual, went wrong this time, and the goods were not mentioned today, which made Zhao Minglei's heart suddenly shrouded in a shadow.
"Master Zhao, you better contact the delivery side as soon as possible, I always feel that this is a bit ...... There's something wrong with that. Lao Xiong suggested on the side, this kind of thing has never happened, but this time it is very abnormal, and he has not mentioned the goods for a few days, this situation makes Lao Xiong's heart beat a drum, and he faintly feels a trace of inappropriateness.
"What nonsense, the big boss of Xiangjiang must be fine, I guess there is something wrong with the link from the south, and this kind of thing is not impossible. Don't worry, relax, I'll ask first. Although Zhao Minglei's heart was also a little weak, he still bluntly refuted Lao Xiong, and at the same time comforted himself.
"Master Zhao, then you ask as soon as possible, don't forget that the amount of money in this batch of goods is not small, and most of it is an advance payment received from the customer, if the goods are late to the customer, it will be a big trouble." Old Xiong reminded him on the side.
"Okay, I know, don't worry, there will be no problem with the big boss of Xiangjiang, wait for my news." Zhao Minglei replied to Lao Xiong impatiently, then dropped the words and turned to leave, seeing Zhao Minglei leave, until his back disappeared, Lao Xiong couldn't help but snort in the direction he left, his expression was very dissatisfied, and he scolded a few words in his mouth.
Zhao Minglei, who left Dashilar, went straight to the nearest telephone office, and after queuing in line at the telephone office for a long time, it was finally his turn, he picked up the phone, took out his notebook, and pressed the number on it to call Mr. Steven's phone.
The phone rang a few times, and it was a woman's voice.
"Hey, hey! Feed! Is Mr. Steven here? I'm Zhao Minglei from Yanjing! I'm looking for Mr. Steven! The international call signal is not very good, and there are bursts of electricity in the receiver, Zhao Minglei shouted at the top of his voice.
The woman who answered the phone spoke Cantonese, speaking quickly and urgently, listening to Zhao Minglei's ears was no different from a bird's call, and she couldn't understand what she was saying at all.
Zhao Minglei had no choice but to let the other party speak more slowly, and it took a long time to even guess what the other party meant, as if telling Zhao Minglei that he had made the wrong call.
"Typing a mistake? Impossible! Zhao Minglei was stunned, took out the notebook with the phone in his hand and reported the number, checked with the other party, and it was clear that the phone number was correct.
"If Mr. Steven isn't there, Miss Ruth is here, is Miss Ruth here?" Zhao Minglei continued to ask on the other side of the phone.
The woman who answered the phone muttered again, what is the content of Mr. Steven and Miss Ruth, there are no two people here, Zhao Minglei must have made a mistake, let him stop calling, if he calls again, she will call the police.
In the end, the woman who answered the phone was very angry and scolded Zhao Minglei for "the northern guy who hit the street", and hung up the phone without waiting for Zhao Minglei to continue to explain.
