Chapter 76: Embarrassment (1)
Tong Ning and Ding Qiangrose negotiated and arranged this dinner. That night at the agreed hotel, Ding Qiangrose and Gu Youren arrived first, and Tong Ning, Bai Zezhi and Brother Xiaotian arrived later.
Seeing Bai Zezhi and Tong Ning walking in side by side, Gu Youren glanced at Bai Zezhi with complicated eyes, which made Bai Zezhi feel quite embarrassed, as if he had done something wrong.
Fortunately, the three men chatted quickly, and the atmosphere of the conversation was not bad.
"Listen to Rose, you also came back from studying outside, where are you in Canada?" Tong Ning enthusiastically looked for a topic to talk to Gu Youren.
Ding Qiang Rose was a little nervous when she heard this, she actually didn't want the topic to go in the direction of Canada. She quietly looked at Gu Youren and found that his face was calm, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.
Gu Youren said slowly and concisely: "Toronto." What about you? Which university? ”
"Michigan. I studied business at the Ann Arbor campus in Michigan. I really didn't want to go, so my father packed it up and sent it over, and gave me a death order not to come back. Last month, the old man was gracious and finally let me back. Tong Ning said as if chattering, and Gu Youren listened to him with a smile.
"I go to Canada a lot, Vancouver, Toronto, Quebec...... I've been to them all. It's really interesting, I found that Americans have never regarded Canada as a foreign country, they all regard Canada as their own territory, and going to Canada is like going to one of their own provinces. The new movie is launched, and the North American theater chain includes Canada, which means North America, not North America, but the North of the United States, hehe, Americans are really honest. ”
"But Canada was a British and French colony in the early years, and now it is still a Commonwealth country." Gu Youren said.
"Yes, it wasn't until 1982 that Canada really became a nation. Because of its geographical relations, it maintains inextricable ties with the United States, and it has signed a defense agreement with the United States, and Canada's security is protected by the United States, while it itself does not have military strength. Tong Ning nodded and said.
Brother Xiaotian also said: "On the surface, the United States and Canada are allies, but in essence, Canada is dependent on the United States. ”
A few people picked up the cups and touched them, and then Tong Ning continued to ask Gu Youren: "Why don't you come to the United States to study?" Or the United States is more fun. ”
"The cost of living in Canada is a little lower, and I have applied for a scholarship." Gu Youren paused and said, "We didn't have money at that time, and the United States couldn't afford to go." ”
"How so? Your company is so big ......" Tong Ning felt incredible, and then said clearly, "Haha, you were sanctioned by your family, right?" At that time, too, in the United States and Canada, I was playing everywhere, spending the old man's money, just to annoy him and make him call me back in a fit of anger, but the old man was really calm, he just didn't let me come back, and said that he wanted to control me financially and let me be a beggar in the United States......"
Ding Qiangrose hurriedly interrupted Tong Ning's words, "Oh, don't keep talking about studying abroad, take care of us, and talk about something that everyone can talk about." ”
"Okay, good, that's right." Tong Ning nodded again and again. "Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables!" He diligently gave Gu Youren food.
Looking back, Youren took the initiative to ask Tong Ning, "When you come back this time, what are you going to develop in?" ”
"It's still international trade. Imported timber, wool, wine. ”
