Chapter 5: A Trip to Boston

Boston is the earliest city in the United States, where the famous "Mayflower" docked, and is the cultural, economic and financial center of the United States.

Boston University is a world-famous university town, and the famous Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology are located in the Cambridge area of Boston.

Ligang and I arrived at Boston's JFK Airport at around 2 p.m., and took a taxi directly to a Hyatt Regency next to MIT to check in.

Li Hua booked two rooms for us on the executive floor, and we rested for a while, and I asked Li Gang to contact Alexander immediately to see if we could make an appointment for dinner in the evening.

According to Ligang's investigation, Alexander lives near MIT.

Ligang sent an email to Alexander last night, telling him that we might be in Boston today, and that we had said hello to him.

Alexander did not reply to his emails.

So Ligang dialed Alexander's mobile phone directly from my room on his mobile phone.

The phone was connected.

"Hello, Alexander! I'm LG Zeng of Guangqi Company. ”

"Oh, hello, I saw your email, you're in Boston?"

Alexander's voice was so loud that I could hear it from anyone sitting next to me.

"Yes, Alexander, we stayed at the Grand Regency Hotel next to MIT. I don't know if you're free tonight, can we make an appointment to meet somewhere? If you have time, my boss would like to invite you to dinner. ”

Ligang's voice was a little nervous.

After all, it is a bit abrupt to ask others to eat so short in advance.

"Oh, that's right, LG, I've already made arrangements for tonight, can we find a time to meet tomorrow?" Alexander said.

"Okay, why don't you come to our hotel tomorrow morning and we'll have a brunch together?"

"It's okay, so be it, I'll contact you at the hotel tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow!"

After setting a meeting time with Alexander, Ligang hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it's okay tomorrow, it's good that he didn't refuse to meet!"

I encouraged Ligang and said, "If you come, you will be safe, we are free tonight, you are familiar with Boston, you can take me to eat something delicious!" ”

"No problem, uncle!"

Li Gang said happily, "I'll take you to a lobster dinner in a while!" ”

"Okay!"

Boston is famous for its lobsters, and the last time I came to Boston for Ligang's graduation ceremony was more than two years ago, and I ate lobster once at the famous Legal Sea Foods restaurant.

The lobsters here are big and cheap, and compared to China, they are very cheap and good, but the cooking method is very ordinary, and it is generally cooked in water. However, eating it this way is also the best way to enjoy the original taste of lobster meat.

"Uncle, I would like to ask you something: I want to invite a former elementary school girl of mine to come over and have dinner with us in the evening, is that okay?"

"Okay, what's going on with her?"

I have a feeling that Ligang has something in mind.

"That's right, my sister's name is Yang Jiao, a native of Shanghai, who is studying for a doctorate in aviation at MIT Engineering College."

"Oh, that's with us, what kind of professional direction is it?"

I was immediately interested.

"It seems to be aeronautical computing engineering. I met her in the third year of her Ph.D. when I graduated, at the New Year's party of the Chinese Alumni Association. ”

"Okay, you hurry up and get in touch, they are all talents that can be used!"

"Okay, I'll contact her on WeChat to see if she's free tonight."

At around six o'clock in the evening, we hailed a taxi to the Royal Nine restaurant on Cambridge Street.

It is a clean and simple new Grand seafood restaurant, and it is said that there is a dish of lobster biscuits that is famous.

It's still a bit early, and there aren't many customers in the restaurant.

A blonde guy who looked like a student at the door greeted us, led us to sit down at a log table inside, poured us each a glass of ice water, and then served us a menu and told us to take time.

"I came twice with my classmates when I was in school, and the food here was clean and delicious, but it was a little expensive – for the students."

Li Gang said to me when we were waiting for Yang Jiao.

"Today, you open up, uncle cares until you are full, haha!" I flipped through the menu and laughed.

"Hey, hey!" Ligang smiled a little embarrassedly.

At this time, the door of the restaurant opened again, and Li Gang looked up at the door, and immediately stood up and waved, a little excited.

I turned my head in the direction of the door and saw a tall Chinese girl standing in the door of the restaurant.

The girl was wearing a yellow sweater and jeans, combed a ponytail, and had fair skin.

She saw Ligang, waved at him, walked over with a smile, and shook Ligang's hand.

"Hello, Ligang, I haven't seen you for more than two years!" Yang Jiao said while shaking hands.

"yes, I really miss my student days!"

Li Gang said: "Oh, let me introduce you, this is my uncle, Zeng Xiyuan." ”

I stood up, nodded at Yang Jiao and said, "Hello, Yang Jiao! ”

"Hello Uncle Zeng!"

Yang Jiao greeted me obediently, like a little girl next door.

In my heart, I was actually very resistant to beautiful women calling me uncle.

I'm only a dozen years younger than Ligang, and I'm still a teenager at heart, hehe.

Li Gang beckoned Yang Jiao to sit down next to him.

At this time, the waiter came over and poured Yang Jiao a glass of water, handed her a menu, and then asked if we could order?

"Whatever you want, Yang Jiao."

I said, thinking I had to be a bit of an uncle.

"Okay, Uncle Zeng, thank you!"

Yang Jiao said, "The lobster biscuits here are very famous, so I'll come here and add another clam soup." ”

"Not for dessert or drinks?" Ligang asked.

"No, I can just drink water, I don't usually eat a lot for dinner." Yang Jiao said.

Self-disciplined female doctor.

I sat opposite Ligang and Yang Jiao, and took advantage of the time they were ordering to take a look at Yang Jiao.

Yang Jiao was dressed plainly, only wearing light makeup, and not even lipstick.

But even so, her delicate facial features and fair skin show an otherworldly beauty.

Her gestures have a natural elegance, which shows that she grew up in an unusual environment.

A female doctor of engineering is so beautiful, I am a little surprised.

No wonder Lili was a little excited just now.

It looks like this kid asked her to meet today, it's a balance between public and private.

Also, who doesn't like such an excellent girl!

"Yang Jiao, how many years have you been in the United States?"

Wait for them to order a good meal, I asked.

"I've been in the U.S. for six years, and it's time to graduate soon!" Yang Jiao replied.

"Oh, do you want to stay here or go back to China after graduation?"

"Well, I haven't figured it out yet, our major has more room for development in the United States, but if you want to stay, you have to be able to find a job."

"You're so good, it's not easy to find a job."

Li Gang said.

"Hehe, senior brother has won the award! My parents still wanted me to go back, and I was hesitant because I personally liked the working environment and atmosphere in the United States. ”

"You've been in the U.S. for so long, and your parents must have missed you very much." I said, "Maybe you can consider coming to our company after graduation, you can run both." ”

"Yes, Yang Jiao, our company needs a talent like you!"

Li Gang also said excitedly next to him.

"Haha, thank you, uncle! Li Gang told me about your project yesterday, and I am also quite interested. But I don't have any practical work experience yet, so it might be better to find someone with industry experience for a startup like yours, right? ”

"We are already looking for experienced people, and they will basically be in place in these two months."

I briefly introduced the purpose of our trip to Yang Jiao.

"Alexander, I know," Yang Jiao said, "is still very famous in the industry, and I heard that I have encountered some trouble in the past two years. ”

"Yes, it's all in the past, it's all false accusations."

"We'll meet him tomorrow." Li Gang said.

"Yang Jiao, I solemnly invite you to join Guangqi Company after graduation next year. If you have time, you are welcome to visit California! I said to Yang Jiao seriously.

"Thank you for your attention! I'm embarrassed to say that, hehe! Yang Jiao blushed a little: "I will definitely consider it seriously." ”

After eating, we called a car to send Yang Jiao back to the MIT dormitory first, and then back to the hotel.

"How is it, how do you feel when you see Yang Jiao again today?"

On the way, I asked Ligang.

"She's excellent." Li Gang whispered.

"It's beautiful, too, understatedly beautiful." I say.

Ligang was a little embarrassed.

"If you like it, you have to be brave to chase it, don't be embarrassed!" I said, "Uncle supports you!" You're not too small! ”

"But," Ligang said with some hesitation, "she doesn't seem to feel that way about me." ”

"How do you know," I said, "can you cultivate even if you don't feel it?" Chasing girls, be thick-skinned and show your strength to work! ”

"Hehe," Ligang smiled smirked.

"This kid is too sincere. I'm going to find a way to help him. I thought to myself.

It's good to be young!

Children who have not been beaten or persecuted by society are often not bold enough, brave and decisive enough at the beginning, and many opportunities are missed.

I think of my young self, when I was studying at the Gansu Provincial Finance and Taxation College, my youthful youth.

I liked a girl in my class at that time, she was from a provincial city, fashionable and confident.

In front of her, I would involuntarily lower my head or look away, not daring to look her in the eye.

In fact, I am 1.78 meters tall, because I have been doing all kinds of farm work since I was a child, and my body has been improved and fit, and I am still quite outstanding among the boys in the class.

But at that time, my family's conditions were poor, and it was already very difficult for me to go to school in the provincial capital.

I don't have any good clothes, let alone fashion, and I dress very modestly, maybe even a little rustic.

So in front of the glamorous city classmates, I always have a little inferiority complex in my heart, let alone in front of the beautiful city female classmates.

But another female classmate in the class, Wang Xiaojuan, liked me very much.

Wang Xiaojuan's father is a leader of our county, the family conditions are good, the personality is pungent, and she is never obscure in expressing love.

I couldn't take her enthusiasm at first.

I traditionally believe that love should be about men chasing women.

But after a long time, I was still touched by her.

Although she is not tall and not pretty, she is smart and cute.

Her warm and cheerful personality still attracts me.

When we are in love, we are easily attracted to people with very different personalities and backgrounds.

However, when you really enter married life, you will find that it may be easier to live with people similar to yourself......

O god of fate who likes to make people,

What kind of fate will Ligang and Yang Jiao have next?
