Chapter 307: Hardworking and studious Lu Ding
Lu Yiming didn't know Shen Junjie. Maybe he had heard of this man before his rebirth, but after his rebirth, he was busy all day long, so how could he have time to pay attention to these minions in the school? Therefore, even if Shen Junjie was standing three meters in front of him, he didn't know that this was the well-known scumbag rich second generation in the school.
Just as Lin Yuzhen was about to speak, Shen Junjie took a step forward, came in front of Lu Yiming, and said arrogantly: "Are you Lu Yiming?"
Lu Yiming was stunned by his question: "Um, I am."
Before Shen Junjie could continue speaking, Lu Yiming looked at Lin Yuzhen behind him and smiled: "You have friends here? Then I won't disturb you, have fun."
The crisis public relations of Shijinji has not been completely resolved yet , so Lu Yiming has no time to chat with these people here. Although it is a bit strange that Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo can enter such a high-end place, Lu Yiming does not have the strange habit of asking about other people's lives.
Looking at Lu Yiming's departing back, Gu Zhiruo suddenly said, "Lu Yiming, you promised to treat Xiao Zhenzhen and me to a big meal before, remember that."
Lu Yiming didn't even turn his head, but just waved his hand, saying in a casual tone: "Whenever you want to eat somewhere, just tell me. It's just a meal, it's nothing special."
Shen Junjie was so angry when he saw Lu Yiming leaving like that.
That guy didn't even look at him straight in the eye!
No, even when Lin Yuzhen and Gu Zhiruo took the initiative to talk to him, he just acted indifferent.
Shen Junjie thought about how he had gone to great lengths to invite people here and even gave them precious roses. He felt really .
Why is the gap between people so big?
Shen Junjie had been living a life of luxury since he was a child. All the people of his age that he knew were trying to fawn on him. But Lu Yiming didn't even look at him straight in the eye, which made him feel very unbalanced.
Various thoughts went around in his mind for several times, and then Shen Junjie silently took note of this grudge and turned around to continue to be attentive to Lin Yuzhen.
"How about we have steak? The steaks here are very famous. They are all grain-fed Angus beef imported directly from Australia, paired with coffee imported from Tanzania, Africa. It is said to have the flavor of Mount Kilimanjaro and is widely praised in Europe and the United States. It is known as gentleman's coffee..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Yuzhen decisively rejected his proposal: "Forget it, I think my mother's cooking is better. How about letting Zhiruo eat with you?"
Gu Zhiruo also quickly waved her hand and refused: "Ah, no, I have an appointment tonight, sorry."
She is not stupid. What if she is having dinner here alone with Shen Junjie and is seen by Li Quanwang?
She knew very well how to choose between a long-term high-quality meal ticket that could be used for a lifetime and a temporary luxury consumption card with a validity period.
Lin Yuzhen had just seen Lu Yiming kissing a blonde foreign girl, and she felt unhappy. Of course, she didn't want to stay for dinner. Seeing that Gu Zhiruo didn't want to stay for dinner either, Lin Yuzhen said to Gu Zhiruo, "Then let's go home."
"OK."
“Hey, you guys…”
Shen Junjie wanted to persuade them to stay, but the two people pretended not to hear him and walked away without looking back.
Shen Junjie was so angry.
Why didn’t you refuse when Lu Yiming invited you to dinner?
What's more, Lu Yiming was just being polite, and you took the initiative to shamelessly ask him to treat you!
Thinking of this, Shen Junjie felt even more crazy.
Rounding off, there's only two levels between him and Lu Yiming.
It took a long time for Shen Junjie to calm down.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Who exactly is this Lu Yiming?
Just like Lu Yiming was obsessed with making money and had no time to pay attention to Shen Junjie, Shen Junjie was obsessed with picking up girls and naturally had not heard of Lu Yiming's recent deeds in school.
What celebrity?
Celebrities shit!
Is his name, Lu Yiming, on the school's academic performance list?
When the whole school was notified of the fight, was he, Lu Yiming, included?
Is Lu Yiming's name mentioned by word of mouth among students who spend money on picking up girls?
None of them.
What kind of celebrity is that?
On the other side, after Lu Yiming said goodbye to Nancy and Chu Tianyu, he returned to Shijinji. In the chairman's office, Su Yunjin smiled and joked with him, "Did you go to see the foreign girl? Is she pretty?"
Lu Yiming answered truthfully: "It looks good, but it's not my cup of tea. I still like Chinese food. It's okay to eat Western food occasionally, but if I have to eat steak every day, it will be too greasy. I will vomit."
Then, Su Yunjin started talking about work: "Did you talk about public relations?"
Lu Yiming did not hide it and answered truthfully: "I talked to him, and they wanted to poach me and let me go to Ferrero."
Su Yunjin was shocked when she heard this and asked hurriedly, "How is it? Did you agree?"
Lu Yiming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm a billionaire, and you want me to work for someone else? Aunt Su, do you think I can agree to this?"
Su Yunwei, who had been surfing the Internet nearby, interrupted and said, "Sister, are you still worried that Lu Yiming will be poached? With Xiaoxue here, who can poach your future son-in-law?"
Su Yunjin then patted her throbbing chest and blurted out, "That's more like it."
Perhaps, she herself has not yet realized that she has already accepted Lu Yiming's identity as son-in-law.
In the evening, after a busy day, Lu Yiming finally came home for dinner. Ning Xuehua said with a dark face, "Oh, Boss Lu still remembers to come back. I thought you had forgotten which way the front door of your house opens."
These days, Lu Yiming seldom went home for meals. After all, he needed to consider every aspect of Shijinji's crisis public relations. In addition, he was taking the college entrance examination soon and could not fall behind in his studies. He wished there were forty-eight hours in a day, so eating was of course something he would do on the spot unless it was absolutely necessary.
Today, things have come to a temporary end, so he has time to come back and have a meal with his family.
Although Ning Xuehua had a complaining tone, when she saw Lu Yiming coming back, she quickly took out a few quick-frozen black tiger shrimps from the refrigerator to serve as a snack for Lu Yiming.
Facing Ning Xuehua's dissatisfaction, Lu Yiming quickly used his method of praising, sucking his fingers and praising the two dishes that had just come out of the pot: "Mom, your cooking skills have improved again. Just by smelling the smell of this roast meat, I feel that it will definitely taste much better than before. And this pot of cauliflower, it's emerald green and cooked just right, it's simply delicious in color, aroma and taste."
After a round of flattery, Ning Xuehua finally felt relaxed. She gave Lu Yiming a few rolls of her eyes proudly before she said softly, "Wait, I'll make you another boiled shrimp."
Lu Yiming returned to the living room, picked up some fruit from the fruit plate and stuffed it into his mouth, then lazily curled up on the sofa, crossed his legs on a plastic stool, and watched TV comfortably.
"Mom, where's Dad? He's still at the factory?"
"At home."
Lu Yiming turned his head and looked around, then asked, "At home? Then why is there no one there?"
Ning Xuehua complained, "He is studying hard in the study. He is already old, but he sits in the study all day long. Sometimes he doesn't even sleep until midnight."
"Good fellow, are you reading by candlelight at night?"
Lu Yiming immediately became interested and went to Lu Ding's study.
In the study, Lu Ding was sitting in front of a long desk, with a heavy book pressed against the glass panel of the desk. He was reading very seriously with his reading glasses on, and he didn't even notice Lu Yiming pushing the door in.
When Lu Yiming walked over and took a look, he discovered that Lu Ding was reading university textbooks in the field of electrical engineering. Since he already had an interest and foundation in this area, it was not difficult for him to read.
It seemed that he had been looking for too long and his eyes felt a little sore. Lu Ding took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows, then he realized that Lu Yiming was standing behind him.
"Hey, why are you back?"
Lu Yiming teased, "You're studying so hard, do you want to take the college entrance exam with me?"
Lu Ding put down the book and sighed, "You have to learn. Technology is developing rapidly now. I find that I can't keep up with the times. You asked me to make a pure electric car. It sounds simple, but when I actually do it, I find that it is full of high technology from head to toe."
The automobile industry is a comprehensive enterprise developed on the basis of many related industries and related technologies. Both the complexity of the system and the scale of manufacturing production far exceed those of industrial products such as home appliances.
A car alone uses products from many departments, and various processing technologies are required from blank processing to vehicle assembly. The parts include thousands of different components ranging from floors to screws.
Therefore, even in the economic development of developed countries, the automobile industry plays an important supporting role.
Even if it is just assembly, it is not something that any non-industrial country can do.
You know, a car is made up of tens of millions of parts and components. Every automobile manufacturer must also have a large number of related parts factories to operate normally, and automobile assembly workers are definitely high-tech jobs.
So when he really started making cars, Lu Ding realized how difficult this industry was. What's more difficult is that pure electric vehicles are a new thing, so even if he wanted to copy them, he couldn't find a target to "learn from". He had to develop and break through all the technologies from scratch.
One only regrets not having learned enough when he needs it. As the initiator of this project, Lu Ding now has to go home every day to study and recharge himself, otherwise he will not be able to understand the design drawings after they come out.
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Learning is a good thing, but you have to pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Besides, you don't have to do everything yourself. If you need talent in a certain area, just spend money to recruit people from the research institute."
Lu Ding glared at Lu Yiming fiercely and said, "You said it lightly, just spend money in one sentence, where can you have so much money for me to cause trouble like this?"
Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, money is a bastard, if you don't have it, I'll go make it. Electric cars are a project I'm very optimistic about. If you wait until you've learned it, it will be too late. Listen to me, just go and recruit people, and ask me for how much money you need. Research can't stop. Think about it, foreign automobile industries have been developing for a hundred years, and electric cars are almost developed at the same time. How much technology has been accumulated here? You're still learning by yourself here, can you compare with them?"
As the saying goes, people learn things at different times and everyone has their own specialization. It is impossible for any one person to fully understand the entire system, not to mention that Lu Ding is already in his fifties. If he starts learning from radio, by the time Lu Ding has built an electric car, others will have already built a spaceship.
Ning Xuehua shouted from outside: "You two, come out and eat quickly."
The two walked out of the study. Faced with several delicious dishes with good color, aroma and taste , Lu Yiming's appetite was aroused.
Although Ning Xuehua's cooking is not as good as that of a hotel chef, the food she makes has a more homely taste. Although Lu Yiming often goes to high-end restaurants, he still thinks that his mother's cooking is the best.
While we were eating, the livelihood program of Mingzhu TV was broadcast. Li Zixian's pretty face appeared dazzlingly in front of the camera. She was holding a microphone and reporting with a serious face about the incidents of foreign capital wantonly exploiting and bullying workers in China.
Since the reform and opening up, foreign capital has entered the mainland. Although it has revitalized the economy and created many jobs, the capital has never taken the legal rights and interests of workers into consideration. It does not treat mainland workers as human beings, but as animals. It makes people feel as if the country has returned to the old society.
Ning Xuehua said angrily: "These people are such a piece of shit. They come to our Xia country to make money, but they don't even treat our Xia country people as human beings? Could it be that their consciences have been eaten by dogs?"
Lu Yiming consoled her, "Now the news report of Mingzhu TV has come out, and the social response is enthusiastic. I'm sure the government will pay attention to this matter. Mom, don't worry about it."
Lu Ding, who runs a factory himself, is naturally not unfamiliar with the domestic employment situation, so he interrupted and said, "Actually, this is a minority. Most foreign-funded enterprises are still pretty good. At least the wages are really high, and there are not so many tricks inside. After all, they just come here to make money. The only ones who like to mess around all day are the factories run by the broken island in the east and the Koreans from the north. Even many mainland bosses do things that are much more excessive than foreign companies, but the news media selectively conceals it."
The first labor law was promulgated in China in 1994. Not to mention those capitalists who have sores on their heads and pus on their feet and only care about small money, even most of the workers in the country do not know that they can actually use legal weapons to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
This has led to various social problems in the specific implementation process.
The workers of this era really have a miserable life. Although Lu Yiming has been promoted to become a capitalist and joined the rentier class, he still remembers that he was once a humble worker.
It is too difficult to change the injustice of an era, but Lu Yiming is still willing to do his part for the workers in the world in the small things he can do.
That is why he secretly sponsored and promoted Li Zixian's special report. As long as it could generate enough public attention, enough people would see the news, thereby helping to popularize the labor law and letting more workers understand that they did not have to swallow their anger when they suffered losses.
At this moment, the phone in the living room rang. Ning Xuehua put down her bowl and chopsticks, walked over and picked up the receiver.
"Hello?"
A young woman's voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, I'm Li Zixian. Is this Mr. Lu Yiming's home?"
Suddenly, Ning Xuehua's ears were filled with the sound of pearls falling on a jade plate. The sound was so pleasant to the ears, like a clear spring in the valley hitting the bluestone in the mountain stream, making a tinkling sound.
Ning Xuehua felt that the voice was so familiar, and then suddenly remembered that Li Zixian was the beautiful reporter in the news just now.
How could a TV host be related to his own son?
Full of suspicion, Ning Xuehua turned her head and called Lu Yiming, "Son, your phone is on."
