Chapter 655 Don’t Compare Them with Us

"Peking University is pretty good. When I was in China, I had a friend who was from Peking University. He wrote to me a few days ago and said that he is now a section chief. Hahahaha"

Xia Zhemin did not "get angry" with Li Ye. From his hearty laughter, it seemed that he was disdainful of competing with Li Ye, a young man who had not even graduated from college.

He smiled and said to Sister Zhen: "Shujun and I are going to talk to Jiao Yaqiang. Xizhen, do you want to go with us?"

Sister Zhen said lightly: "I am a rough-handed girl, not a young lady who has never touched women. I am busy cooking for everyone and have no time to chat with people."

"."

Xia Zhemin smiled and shook his head, then shook a big bag in his hand: "I also brought a lot of beef. Please try my new skills later."

Sister Zhen said contemptuously: "You can cook? I thought you had changed a new cook! But don't look at Ruan Shujun working in a restaurant, but she is not as good at cooking as Jiang Minzhi!"

"."

"Xizhen, you are still the same temper, not changed at all."

Xia Zhemin looked at Sister Zhen awkwardly and led Ruan Shujun away.

After they took a few steps, Li Ye, who had excellent hearing, faintly heard the whispers of Ruan Shujun and Xia Zhemin.

"So what if he's a section chief? It's just over a hundred yuan a month."

"You can't say that. My friend may be promoted to director in a few years."

"Director only makes a few hundred yuan? You make tens of thousands a month!"

"Hehe~"

Ruan Shujun and Xia Zhemin were discussing Li Ye, but they didn't know that Zhen Jie and others behind them were also discussing them.

"Pfft~"

"Hasn't Ruan Shujun been sick these days? Why isn't she sick now? She's so flashy, who is she trying to hook up with?"

"Do you even need to ask? She must want to hook up with Xia Zhemin! In the two years since she came to Dengta, I haven't seen her study hard. I've only seen her dating people."

"Not necessarily. Maybe she wants to hook up with Jiao Yaqiang. Jiao Yaqiang just received a bonus from his tutor."

"Impossible. Jiao Yaqiang, that nerd, only has scientific research data in his eyes. Ruan Shujun is so cunning that she will definitely not waste her efforts."

A university professor once said that intellectuals are also people, especially intellectuals who earn a few thousand yuan a month. What elegance and bookishness are either appearances or imagination.

International students in their twenties like Sister Zhen would also make malicious assumptions about girls they don't like.

Of course, Ruan Shujun did dress up carefully today, which was significantly different from Sister Zhen, Zhen Rongrong and others.

The calfskin boots looked expensive, and her pale and bloodless face was slightly sickly under the thin powder. The waisted women's windbreaker was a bit thin, which made her look even more pitiful.

Just this outfit was not what Sister Zhen and others said was "flashy", but a higher level of "pure white lotus."

It's just that women admire strength and men admire purity, and the big pig's hoof likes this.

So if you expect her to kill chickens and cook like Li Ye, Xia Zhemin will not agree, and will only let her do some work of chatting with people.

Li Ye killed and bled the last chicken in his hand, then asked: "Sister Zhen, the chicken is done, how do you want to eat it? I brought some cabbage, how about making Dongshan fried chicken for you?"

A foreign student said in surprise: "Why, you can actually cook?"

Li Ye pointed at Wen Leyu: "I learned from my girlfriend, she is the head chef, and I am the young man."

"Hahaha~"

"Rongrong, your two classmates are really a perfect match! Look at those fake ones, the difference is obvious."

Several female foreign students are older than Li Ye and Wen Leyu. When they heard Li Ye admit that he was a "housewife", they half-jokingly teased him.

Sister Zhen, who was in a bad mood, laughed. She knew Li Ye's style. He had bodyguards and lawyers, which was much more impressive than Boeing's engineers.

Looking at Wen Leyu's clothes and temperament, Ruan Shujun was even more unbearable.

But what Sister Zhen admired most was Li Ye's demeanor.

If Sister Zhen had Li Ye's status, she would have spit directly on Xia Zhemin's face just now.

But after hearing everyone's teasing, Wen Leyu drooped her face.

"Please don't compare us with others, especially with Ruan Shujun, we are not the same kind of people."

"Hahaha, right, right, we are wrong, little sister, I mean you two are a perfect match, they have their own ulterior motives"

Hearing the words "a perfect match", Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye unhappily and stopped caring.

. . . . . . . . .

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat, dumplings just out of the pot, fragrant stewed chicken, this year's New Year's Eve dinner is unprecedentedly rich."

"We have barbecue here! Fat and tender roast beef, it gives people a feeling of abundance at first glance."

Wen Leyu didn't want to compare with Ruan Shujun and Xia Zhemin, but when the meal started, the two groups collided with each other by coincidence.

Because Li Ye and Sister Zhen and others cooked a big pot of stewed chicken, as well as a lot of dumplings and stir-fried vegetables, while Xia Zhemin brought a group of fans to play the favorite barbecue of the Lighthouse people.

Li Ye had heard an exaggerated saying in his previous life that as long as the Lighthouse people had a meal together, they could grill everything. If they were not allowed to grill, they would not know what to eat for the meal.

In fact, Li Ye also likes to eat barbecue, but today everyone is celebrating the Spring Festival, shouldn’t we eat Chinese food?

Besides, Xia Zhemin only brought a dozen pounds of meat, and there were hundreds of people eating at the scene. Can each person get a piece of meat?

And Xia Zhemin and his friends didn't seem to be very skilled, and the roasted meat was not very delicious.

On the contrary, Li Ye was good at making fried chicken since he started working at the Second Grain Store. The smell of the chicken spread a hundred meters away, attracting a group of foreign students who came to join in the fun.

"Eng~, how is this chicken stewed! It smells so good. And where did all the vegetables come from?"

"Look, it was made by that classmate from Beijing University. Alas, he is good-looking and cooks delicious food, but it's a pity that he has a girlfriend."

"Hurry up and eat yours! You are still thinking about whether he has a girlfriend when you have food and drink."

"I'm not thinking about him! I just think of my mother. My mother has worked hard all her life, and my father didn't even help him when he fell down. Alas."

While Li Ye was having fun with Zhen Rongrong and others, he quietly observed the situation of the foreign students around him.

Although there were only a hundred people at the scene, it condensed the epitome of the foreign students studying in the United States in this era.

Someone once said that if there are too many people planting flowers in any place, small groups will appear, and ten people can be divided into at least three groups.

The hundreds of people on the scene were divided into at least five or six small groups.

Among them, newcomers like Zhen Rongrong who had just arrived at the lighthouse, and ordinary students like Sister Zhen were the largest, accounting for at least 60% of the people.

The other thirty or so people were either "successful people" such as Xia Zhemin, or reserve runners who were eager to find a job like Xia Zhemin and stayed in the lighthouse.

Li Ye looked towards Xia Zhemin and suddenly asked Sister Zhen: "Sister Zhen, is the one wearing glasses Jiao Yaqiang?"

Tian Xizhen looked at him and said curiously: "Yes, how did you know?"

Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "I also know that if you call Jiao Yaqiang now, he will definitely come over to join us."

Sister Zhen was stunned for a moment, then she opened her throat and shouted: "Jiao Yaqiang, do you want to eat dumplings?"

"Hey, I'm here."

The classmate wearing glasses and with a slightly dark face really walked towards Li Ye and others, and gave people the feeling that he was a little impatient.

Sister Zhen said in surprise: "Student Li Ye, how did you see that?"

Li Ye said: "Just now I saw Xia Zhemin constantly talking to Jiao Yaqiang, Jiao Yaqiang has long been impatient."

"."

After Jiao Yaqiang came over, Sister Zhen asked him: "Old Jiao, what did Xia Zhemin say to you just now that made you so impatient?"

I don't know if Jiao Yaqiang is honest and straightforward, or if he has a very good relationship with Sister Zhen, he directly told the truth: "He wants to pull me to Boeing to work, I don't want to go, he keeps persuading me"

Sister Zhen frowned and said: "You don't want to go to Boeing?"

Jiao Yaqiang shook his head and said: "I haven't decided whether to stay in the lighthouse, and do you think I should trust Xia Zhemin? He treated Jiang Minzhi like that at the beginning, and he may not treat me the same way in the future."

"."

Li Ye, Zhen Rongrong and others all looked at Jiao Yaqiang in surprise, and then looked at Sister Zhen, just like the audience who heard "If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next chapter" in the storytelling, eager to know the content of the sequel.

Sister Zhen sighed and said, "Lao Jiao, Xia Zhemin, and Jiang Minzhi are all international students from Tsinghua University. Lao Jiao is one year older than Xia Zhemin and Jiang Minzhi, and they have always had a good relationship."

"Later, Xia Zhemin and Jiang Minzhi became lovers. Jiang Minzhi took Xia Zhemin to do a project. Xia Zhemin published it privately in his own name and got a job opportunity at Boeing. Jiang Minzhi returned to China in anger."

"."

Li Ye, Wen Leyu and others looked at each other, and then looked at Xia Zhemin with unfriendly eyes.

You steal things if you want to, but you actually stole from your own wife. It's really despicable and shameless.

But just when everyone was looking at him unkindly, Xia Zhemin came over to Li Ye with a plate of barbecue.

"Everyone, try my cooking."

Xia Zhemin sat down and said with emotion: "It's the Spring Festival again. I still remember the first year we came to the lighthouse. Everyone had no money. We couldn't afford to buy leeks for dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs."

"But you didn't buy leeks today!"

Jie Zhen glanced at Xia Zhemin coldly and said lightly: "Even if you make $30,000 a year now, you can't change your selfish and stingy nature, so don't talk nonsense to us here."

"."

Xia Zhemin looked at Jie Zhen, swallowed his saliva and was about to explain, Jiao Yaqiang said again: "Old Xia, you don't have to say it, I don't plan to go to Boeing with you, my mother is old, she misses me very much, and I may have to return to China soon."

"Are you crazy, Yaqiang?"

Xia Zhemin stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Your talent is useless in the mainland. Only the lighthouse is the stage for you and me."

"."

Li Ye's eyes narrowed.

Everyone has their own aspirations and you cannot force them, but if you use your perverse ideas to mislead others, then you are wrong.
