Chapter 960: The Wanderer Returns
The three of them chatted for a morning, and after lunch, Song Yuanchao looked at the time and left for the airport.
He didn't want to leave, but to pick up people, because today was the day Sun Yaoliang returned to China.
Li Daqi and Qin Zhengguo didn't go, they had their arrangements, Song Yuanchao drove directly to the airport, parked the car in the parking lot after arriving at the airport, and then waited patiently at the international exit.
In a blink of an eye, Sun Yaoliang has been away for a few days, and he has not been back for the past two years, most of the time in the United States, and the other part of the time in other countries, and sometimes he goes to a foreign university to audit, and I don't know what he is busy with.
Last week, Sun Yaoliang called Song Yuanchao and said that he would be back today. Song Chaoyuan was very happy when he learned about it, and agreed to pick him up at the airport today.
According to the time of the flight, Sun Yaoliang's flight should have arrived at 3:10 p.m., Song Chaoyuan arrived at the airport half an hour in advance, parked the car and then walked to the international exit, it only took less than 20 minutes, and there was still some time before the flight arrived.
Slowly waiting over there, Sun Yaoliang's flight basically landed on time, but after landing, it will take at least half an hour to dock and then get out of the cabin and pass customs, pick up luggage, etc., Song Chaoyuan stood at the exit and waited patiently, at about 3:50, a group of people walked out of it, Song Chaoyuan didn't know if it was Sun Yaoliang's flight, his eyes scanned the flow of people, looking for Sun Yaoliang's figure.
After about seven or eight minutes, Song Chaoyuan finally saw a familiar figure, wasn't that Sun Yaoliang?
I saw Sun Yaoliang wearing a gray suit, the upper two buttons of the shirt without a tie were not buttoned, slightly open, his hair was slightly longer than before, the hairstyle that should have been taken care of has become a little different from his memory, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, a briefcase in his left hand, and a luggage cart in front of him, with several suitcases on it.
I haven't seen him for nearly two years, Sun Yaoliang's image has changed a lot, he looks more like a successful person, and although he is not handsome, he has a lot of masculinity when he cleans it up, and he exudes an unusual bearing.
While walking, Sun Yaoliang was talking to a man behind him who was also pushing a luggage cart, because he was a little far away, Song Chaoyuan didn't see the appearance of the person behind him clearly, he just thought it was someone Sun Yaoliang met on the way back to China.
Soon, Sun Yaoliang was almost at the exit, and at this time, Song Chaoyuan shouted at him, raised his hand and waved in his direction.
Sun Yaoliang looked over when he heard this, and when he saw Song Chaoyuan, he waved happily and quickened his pace.
"You're back, kid!" As soon as they met, Song Yuanchao unceremoniously clenched his fist and gently pounded Sun Yaoliang's chest.
"No, I, Hu Hansan, are finally back!" Sun Yaoliang laughed, the two old classmates and good friends met again, and they were extremely happy in each other's hearts.
Hugging and patting each other's backs, it took a while to separate, Song Yuanchao looked at Sun Yaoliang and said in his mouth: "Look, the temperament is completely different now than when I went out, a whole overseas Chinese." ”
"you, is there anything like you? If you haven't seen this meeting for two years, it's hurtful? Sun Yaoliang scolded with a smile.
"Hahaha, who made you kid dress up so sassy?" Song Yuanchao laughed.
Laughing, Song Yuanchao was about to take Sun Yaoliang's luggage cart and go out together, but Sun Yaoliang grabbed him and asked him to wait.
Song Yuanchao was strange and asked him what he was waiting for? It can't be that you still have unpicked luggage, right? At this time, Sun Yaoliang pointed behind him: "Aiding the DPRK, who do you think this is?" ”
"Who?" Song Yuanchao looked behind Sun Yaoliang, and saw a man in his thirties wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses smiling at him, wasn't this man the man Sun Yaoliang was talking while walking all the way just now?
Song Yuanchao looked at the other party, only felt that the other party was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who the other party was for a while, until the other party took the initiative to greet Song Chaoyuan and called him the third brother, Song Chaoyuan's mind flashed.
"You...... Are you Hairong? ”
"I am! It's me! Third brother! Lu Hairong's eyes were red, and tears couldn't help but fall, that's right, he is Lu Hairong, an old classmate of the Song Dynasty, their roommate, the youngest, and Lu Hairong who went abroad later.
More than ten years have passed in a flash, and the teenager of that year is now about to enter middle age, and compared with Lu Hairong in his memory, Lu Hairong is tall now, and he has lost the childishness of school back then, and has been replaced by the temperament of a mature man.
In addition, he also has the aura of a scholar, and he has a lot of grace between his gestures, no wonder Song Chaoyuan didn't recognize it for a while.
"Is it really you?" Song Chaoyuan came back to his senses and walked over without saying a word, Lu Hairong was the same, the two old classmates who had been separated for many years hugged tightly, and the hug between Song Chaoyuan and Sun Yaoliang just now was different, this is a silent but all-in-one friendship between men.
"Good boy, you're finally back!" Letting go of his hand and looking at Lu Hairong, who was slightly taller than himself, Song Yuanchao quipped: "It seems that American milk bread is really nourishing, after so many years, you are taller than me?" ”
"I was already young, and I wasn't fully developed back then, so it's normal to run around later." Lu Hairong said with some embarrassment.
"It's good to come back, by the way, you came back with Yaoliang? How did you meet in the United States? Song Chaoyuan couldn't help but ask.
"That's going to ask him." Lu Hairong pointed at Sun Yaoliang: "The fourth brother once went to our university to audit, and it happened that I was the main lecturer in that class, and he recognized me first, but my appearance has changed a little in the past few years, and he came over to ask me after class, but as soon as I saw him, I knew who he was, isn't this the fourth brother?" I was surprised. ”
"Hahaha, this is a coincidence! God arranged it. Song Chaoyuan immediately laughed, Lu Hairong was right, his changes were not small, but Sun Yaoliang did not change much, and he looked quite distinctive, it was reasonable for Lu Hairong to recognize him.
"Look at what you say, I feel like I'm sorry for the people? Hey, don't joke about that, I'm going to be angry! On the side, Sun Yaoliang interjected unhappily.
Song Yuanchao and Lu Hairong exchanged glances, and then the two laughed at the same time, this laugh Sun Yaoliang was also happy, and the three men who were more than a hundred years old laughed at the exit, provoking many people to subconsciously look at them, and even the police comrades not far away noticed them and walked towards them to see what was going on.
Seeing this, Song Chaoyuan hurriedly told them to stop being happy, and if they continued like this, they would have to come over for questioning. Then, Song Chaoyuan beckoned them to go together, pushing the luggage cart towards the parking lot, but today Song Chaoyuan drove a car with a large trunk, otherwise it would be enough to put so much luggage away.
After putting away his luggage and getting into the car, Song Chaoyuan asked if Lu Hairong's accommodation had been arranged. Lu Hairong said that he hadn't arranged it yet, and originally planned to stay in a hotel in Huhai for a day, and then train back to his hometown tomorrow.
Hearing him say this, Song Chaoyuan said what kind of hotel to live in, since they all arrived in Huhai, they lived directly at home, anyway, the place at home was big, and he drove to the direction of home as he spoke, Lu Hairong was not polite, and said with a smile that the guest was as he pleased, as for Sun Yaoliang's side, Song Yuanchao didn't ask for his opinion at all, this kid didn't live at home when he came to Huhai? Do you still need to ask about their friendship?
Along the way, Song Chaoyuan asked Lu Hairong about the situation over the years, when Lu Hairong went to the United States to study in the two sides had a period of correspondence, but later with Song Chaoyuan graduated and went to Jinling, Lu Hairong's residence in the United States also changed, and the contact was interrupted, and many years passed.
Lu Hairong told Song Yuanchao that he first studied for a master's degree in the United States, and later went to Columbia University to study for a doctorate, and was invited to stay at Columbia University to teach after graduation, and is now a professor at Columbia University Business School.
Columbia University is one of the Ivy League universities in the United States, and although Columbia Business School is not as well-known as medical school, it is also very excellent among American institutions of higher learning. As a young doctor who is not yet forty years old and has a Chinese background, being able to serve as a professor in this college is enough to prove Lu Hairong's excellence.
Lu Hairong told Song that he was married, that his wife met in college, was Chinese, and that both husband and wife were currently working at Columbia University, but his wife was a university administrator, and he was a professor and did some theoretical work.
He now has three children, a boy and two girls, the eldest is a girl, the second is a boy, and the third is also a daughter, the family is happy and happy, and the children are also very cute and sensible.
Last year, Sun Yaoliang came to Columbia Business School and met Lu Hairong in an audit class.
After the reunion, Lu Hairong invited Sun Yaoliang to his house as a guest, and Sun Yaoliang met his wife and children, and the two chatted about the past.
When he learned that some of their old classmates were doing well, among which Song Chaoyuan had the highest achievement, founded Shenghua Group from scratch, and is now a well-known big man in the business world, Lu Hairong was extremely emotional.
When Lu Hairong went abroad to study, Song Chaoyuan helped him a lot, especially on the day he sent him away, he specially gave him some US dollars, and told Lu Hairong to tell him directly if he had difficulties abroad.
Lu Hairong has always kept this matter in mind, when he first arrived in the United States, life was not adaptable, coupled with the unfamiliar place, encountered many difficulties, thanks to the money given to him by Song Chaoyuan, Lu Hairong got through the difficulties, in Lu Hairong's heart, Song Chaoyuan is not only his brother, but also his benefactor.
