Chapter 197: Long time no see
Li Quanwang was moved by Lu Yiming's words, and his mind was full of blonde long legs. However, he soon became melancholy again and said, "If I don't get into college, will I be unable to marry in the future? I won't even be able to find a girlfriend. Look at you, just because you are good at English, so many beautiful girls are around you."
Lu Yiming laughed after hearing this and patted his shoulder vigorously: "Didn't I tell you before? You think society is like this: 985 is greater than 211, greater than undergraduate, greater than junior college. But in fact, society is not that complicated. Apart from those things that cannot be mentioned, the rich are greater than the poor. You must always remember this. Young people like you should stop thinking about it and focus on making money. Only with money can you have everything."
Although this was he still found it hard to understand: "No way? The world is not as exaggerated as you say."
After all, I have studied hard for ten years, and the attitude of the teachers and parents at school is that everything else is inferior except for studying. How come when I enter the society, the only thing left to talk about is money?
Lu Yiming, however, is an experienced person who knows how society works. "Why not? Would I lie to you? You are already in society, if I don't talk to you about money, how can I talk about feelings? Besides, you are a rich man now, so you don't need to worry about these things. While you still have time, learn some useful things, and maybe you can step onto a bigger stage in the future."
Li Quanwang was eager to try after hearing what Lu Yiming said. Being young and frivolous, he naturally did not want to be ordinary.
Unlike Lu Yiming, who has been struggling in the big dye vat of society for half his life and has long become a lazy person.
Struggle or something like that doesn't exist.
A week passed quickly.
At the weekend, Li Yiwen finally completed all the procedures for going to the United States and planned to depart from Baiyun Airport. Lu Yiming and Li Quanwang went to see him off.
Holding the passport and plane ticket in his hand, Li Yiwen felt both excited and nervous. Although it was a good thing to be able to go abroad, it was hard to leave his hometown after all, and this long journey was indeed a bit far.
They all went straight across the Pacific Ocean.
Lu Yiming grabbed a handful of mud from the roadside flowerbed and said to Li Yiwen earnestly: "I would rather love a handful of soil from my hometown than a ton of gold from another country."
Li Yiwen, who was originally a little sad, was immediately amused. He slapped the dirt off Lu Yiming's hand and scolded him with a smile: "Go to hell, are you acting out Journey to the West with me here?"
Lu Yiming said: "Aren't you heading west now? It seems that there is no difference between going to the West to get scriptures or going to the West to get money."
Li Yiwen's eyes widened, and he immediately retorted, "This flight is heading east, and the plane will first go north to Beijing, then fly northeast, circle around the edge of the Arctic, and then go south along the Bering Strait, through the Maple Leaf Country, and arrive in the United States."
Li Quanwang was immediately puzzled when he heard this: "Isn't this a bit stupid? Why not just cross the Pacific Ocean directly instead of taking a long detour?"
Lu Yiming slapped Li Quanwang on the top of his head and scolded him with a smile: "I usually tell you to read more books, but you only know the Pacific Ocean. The plane burns the fuel of the airline, do you really think they are stupid and can't do the math? The earth is not a map, the map is flat, and the earth is a sphere. So it seems that the closest distance from directly crossing the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of the United States is actually 14,000 kilometers. And the plane flies north across the Bering Strait and then south to the United States, it is only 11,000 kilometers."
Li Quanwang touched his head and suddenly realized: "Ah, so that's how it is..."
Lu Yiming said: "I will buy you a globe later."
Watching the two people bickering, Li Yiwen felt the sadness of parting was lessened a little.
He looked at his watch, collected himself and said, "It's almost time. I need to board the plane."
Lu Yiming smiled and walked forward to hug him: "Long live the emperor."
"screw you."
"Okay, then have a safe journey. Call to let me know you're safe when you get there. We are brothers in this life, so I won't say much else. Take care of yourself and help me make some more money. Whether you can enjoy a good life in the future depends on you."
Li Yiwen was full of confidence at the moment and nodded vigorously: "Of course, this is the capitalism's base camp. I am here to make money this time!"
After seeing Li Yiwen off, Lu Yiming kept his word and actually went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a basketball-sized globe for Li Quanwang.
"You better watch out and study hard, or you'll find yourself nowhere someday."
As the two walked out of the airport, Lu Yiming suddenly received a call.
The call was from Zhao Tiezhu.
"Boss, my three comrades are almost in Baiyun City and will get off at the train station. I'm heading to the North Railway Station now. After I meet up with them, I'll report to you."
When Lu Yiming heard this, he was overjoyed.
My cousin Li Yiwen has now gone overseas. He will definitely have to be a frequent flyer and run multiple lines in the future. I am short of manpower at this time, and now three retired veterans have come. This is like a timely help.
"North Railway Station, right? I'll go there now, and we'll greet your comrades together."
Zhao Tiezhu was immediately very surprised: "Boss, you are going to pick him up too? You are the big boss, how can a big boss go out in person to pick someone up?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Who said that big bosses can't go pick people up? I'll leave now, you wait for me at the train station."
Although Lu Yiming hung up the phone, Zhao Tiezhu still couldn't calm down for a long time.
What kind of amiable boss is this that would personally go to the train station to pick up a few workers?
However, in Lu Yiming's opinion, it didn't have such a profound meaning. This move didn't cost money and could win people's hearts. If you don't do it, you're a fool.
After all, these bodyguards you hire might be with you day and night in the future, and they need to ensure your safety. Going to a temple to pray for peace and blessings requires a sincere heart, so it is necessary for you to spend some time to win them over.
A green train with thick smoke coming out of the front of the train blew a long whistle and puffed as it entered Baiyun North Railway Station. As soon as the train stopped and opened the door, the passengers inside were like flood water encountering an open gate, instantly spreading out from one point in a fan shape, looking for an exit while talking loudly.
Qi Rong got off carriage No. 19 carrying a red and white woven bag. He looked around, walked to the flower bed, placed the bag against the wall, and began to carefully tidy up his slightly faded green military uniform.
After tidying up his clothes, he looked through the wall at the tall buildings outside and couldn't help but exclaim, "Baiyun City is indeed a big city. The buildings are really tall. The houses in Xintian County are only a dozen stories high at most. Zhao Tiezhu is really a capable guy. He was able to find a good job in Baiyun City."
Qi Rong followed other passengers from the exit to the train station square, and looked up at the big clock on top of the clock tower in the center of the square.
"It's already half past four. I heard that Wei Jianjun and Zhang Jiefang won't be here until after five."
He was just about to find a place to sit and wait when he suddenly noticed someone approaching. He turned his head sharply and saw an acquaintance.
"Zhao Tiezhu?"
"Squad leader! Long time no see!"
