Chapter 657: You Need an Organization to Rely On

"Stop arguing. Why do people who celebrate the Chinese New Year have to argue over such trivial matters?"

"It's just that we are all on our own. There are so many people watching around us. Please listen to my advice and stop arguing, so as not to make foreign classmates laugh at us for not being united."

People who eat melons generally have two characteristics. One is to watch the excitement without taking it too seriously, and the other is to like to be a peacemaker and can give favors with just a word.

So when Xia Zhemin looked at Li Ye's lawyer business card and saw that he was about to lose his job, the "friends" around him finally began to dissuade him and talk about the situation and make peace.

Ruan Shujun even more plainly excused Xia Zhemin: "You have all misunderstood Zhemin. The reason why he joined Boeing is to learn advanced Western knowledge and then better build our motherland."

"."

Li Ye couldn't help but admire.

[Co-author Xia Zhemin's insults to the mainland just now were all a smoke bomb trick to fool the lighthouse people in order to endure the humiliation? Isn't this comparable to the handsome Wang Wang back then? 】

However, although Li Ye despised Xia Zhemin, he was dragged away by a few familiar friends by using the donkey under the slope.

And Jiao Yaqiang, who was standing behind Li Ye, also pulled Li Ye and whispered: "Forget it, it's not worth it."

"Um?"

Li Ye glanced at Jiao Yaqiang and didn't quite understand what he meant by "not worth it". After all, just now Jiao Yaqiang shouted something like "Have you forgotten your vow?"

Did he feel that the confrontation between Li Ye and Xia Zhemin just now was not worth it?

But Jiao Yaqiang said the next moment: "It's not worth wasting legal fees for someone like him, and it won't even be worth it if he punches you if you really make a fuss."

"."

Li Ye blinked and said funnyly: "He punched me? Why do you think that?"

Jiao Yaqiang pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly, as if he had something to hide.

However, Sister Zhen explained: "After Xia Zhemin came to Peking University, he joined the school's boxing club and learned Western boxing from the coach of Lighthouse. He could hit three to four hundred pounds with one punch. Jiao Yaqiang was afraid that Xia Zhemin would become angry if he was embarrassed. You suffered the loss before your eyes."

"Oh~"

Li Ye smiled softly and said, "It's a good thing he didn't get angry just now, otherwise he would have really suffered a loss!"

"."

Sister Zhen was stunned for a moment, then quietly looked at Brother Jin and others not far away.

"We are in a foreign country and there are some troubles. It is best to avoid them as much as possible."

Brother Jin drove a pickup truck to deliver food this time, and he quickly became involved with his classmates. Although Li Ye claimed that they were his "colleagues," Sister Zhen felt that they were more like followers.

But even if Li Ye has these three followers, Xia Zhemin also has many classmates. If they really want to fight, it will definitely be a mess. It will be even more troublesome if they attract the attention of the school.

Li Ye smiled and nodded: "What Sister Zhen said is that I don't have the same experience as him."

Seeing Li Ye smile, Jiao Yaqiang and Sister Zhen finally felt relieved. They were the ones who "provoked" what happened today. If Li Ye really got into a fight with Xia Zhemin, they would feel bad about it.

"Hey, don't think about those boring things. Let's eat quickly! The food is already cold."

"Yeah, yeah, I haven't tasted the taste of my hometown for a long time." Jiao Yaqiang ate the food cooked by Li Ye with big mouthfuls.

Sister Zhen quickly poured him a glass of water: "Lao Jiao, didn't you just get a large bonus? Why are you still living so frugally? Are you not even willing to eat a vegetable?"

Jiao Yaqiang said nonchalantly: "I lent the money to Liu Dongsheng. He found a part-time job in San Jose. He traveled back and forth all day and needed to buy a car."

San Jose, the city where Silicon Valley is located, is at least 80 kilometers away from UC Berkeley, so you really need a car.

But Sister Zhen complained: "You don't even have a car yourself! Are you still worrying about others? You'd better send the bonus home in the future! At least your mother will save it for you."

Miao Yaqiang chewed the food in his mouth, swallowed it, and said dullly: "Old Liu will pay it back to me. He is not a deadbeat."

"."

Li Ye looked at Jiao Yaqiang's stubborn expression and knew that this kind of thing was not happening once or twice.

But he was also wondering in his heart, how could a person with such a kind heart be so angered by Xia Zhemin to the extent just now?

Is it possible that the kinder a person is, the more his fate will be calculated?

. . . . . . . . . .

"The blood flowing in my heart, the surging voice of China, cannot be changed even if I am in a foreign country. My Chinese heart."

It seems that since Zhang Mingmin appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, "My Chinese Heart" has become a must-sing song for overseas travelers.

When hundreds of international students at the University of California sang this song together, Li Ye, who was among them, could clearly see many international students and shed tears of homesickness.

[People like Xia Zhemin are not all people after all. 】

When these international students left their hometowns, the advice given to them by their families and teachers was probably to "work hard, forge ahead, and study to grow flowers and rise."

But in fact, they are also human beings, and they also have weaknesses. When they encounter difficulties and setbacks, they also hope to have someone to rely on.

It's just that some people rely on the beacon of freedom, and some people have never forgotten the old date tree in their hometown.

"Let's go, let's go. Is anyone going to Chinatown? Let's get in the car and go."

Towards evening, everyone at the party had almost finished eating, and some people were even slightly drunk, so someone suggested going to Chinatown to watch the lion and dragon dance.

Li Ye was going to Chinatown anyway, so he called Sister Zhen and Jiao Yaqiang to go with him.

Today, Li Ye met a few new friends at UCLA, and the most gratifying gain was Jiao Yaqiang.

He has strong professional skills. Although he is careless, he can stick to his original intention and stick to his bottom line. He is exactly the man Li Ye needs most.

Dozens of people came to the parking lot in a lively manner, laughing and carpooling.

Li Ye found that at least more than half of the international students who were stranded in Dengta and did not return to China had their own cars.

Although most of them were old cars with a long age, at least they had realized the dream of "car owners".

You should know that in 1986, many directors of underdeveloped counties and districts in the mainland had only a canvas 212, but these proud children of heaven have already driven Toyota, Ford, and even Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

For example, Liu Dongsheng, who borrowed money from Jiao Yaqiang, spent 2,500 US dollars to buy a 60% new Mercedes-Benz sedan.

And Xia Zhemin, who went to Boeing, bought a brand new Toyota Camry.

However, the most handsome guy in the parking lot was the Bentley that Li Ye rented from the hotel.

Many international students pointed at the Bentley, but only Ruan Shujun was upset when she saw the Bentley.

Li Ye was so annoying that he hated his car.

"Let's go, Brother Jiao, squeeze into the pickup truck with me!"

Originally, Jiao Yaqiang wanted to share a car with Liu Dongsheng, but there were many girls at the scene, and he didn't get a number under the women's priority.

So Li Ye arranged for Sister Zhen and Zhen Rongrong to drive the Bentley with Wen Leyu and others, and he took Jiao Yaqiang to sit in the pickup truck driven by Brother Jin and others.

Jiao Yaqiang was surprised at this time: "Brother, is that Bentley yours? How much did you buy it for?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "The company rented it from the hotel, and my car hasn't arrived yet!"

"Oh~, I really didn't see it"

Jiao Yaqiang stared at the Bentley for a few seconds, lowered his head and got into Brother Jin's pickup truck.

At this time, someone behind him said strangely: "It turns out to be the company's car! And it's rented. Is it necessary to satisfy superficial vanity?"

Li Ye didn't need to look back, and he knew it was Ruan Shujun.

Ruan Shujun seized the opportunity today and has been providing emotional value to Xia Zhemin's petite beauty, dissolving Xia Zhemin's accumulated depression and irritability because of Li Ye's "slap on the face".

When everyone suggested going to Chinatown, Ruan Shujun finally succeeded in holding Xia Zhemin's arm.

So when Li Ye turned his head and looked over coldly, Ruan Shujun bravely withstood Li Ye's pressure, stared at Li Ye, and vented for her new boyfriend.

Li Ye glanced at her, smiled disdainfully, got in the car and followed Brother Jin.

Ruan Shujun looked at the exhaust of the pickup truck with contempt: "Huh, I thought you were so capable! The company rented the car, the company's lawyer, he is just bullying others, Zhemin, don't bother with him."

"Well, how could I bother with him."

Xia Zhemin looked at the departing Bentley, his eyes full of depression.

He made a significant contribution to a research group of Boeing, but Boeing did not say that it would provide him with a car or a lawyer!

. . . . . . . . . .

Dozens of international students went to Chinatown together, and soon they were separated on the busy street.

In the evening of San Francisco, it was actually the first day of the Chinese New Year. The streets were full of Chinese people strolling around, and some shop owners were standing happily at the door. As long as someone came in to consume, they would give the customer a red envelope for good luck.

Li Ye went to the antique shop he had been to before. The boss knew Li Ye, a fellow countryman, and really kept his promise and gave Li Ye a small mutton-fat jade pendant.

Li Ye also spent three hundred and sixty dollars symbolically and bought a central hall that was said to be written by a scholar in the Qing Dynasty. He asked for a lucky six sixes, which made the boss thank him repeatedly and wish him good luck.

After leaving the shop, Wen Leyu, Zhen Rongrong and others were strolling in front, and Li Ye and Jiao Yaqiang fell behind.

Li Ye asked tentatively: "Brother Jiao, are you ready to go back to the mainland?"

Jiao Yaqiang nodded and said: "In fact, the conditions Xia Zhemin gave me are very tempting, but I am a D member. I firmly believe that only by relying on a strong organization can I achieve greater success. Staying in the lighthouse and fighting alone is ultimately a rootless drifter."

"Xia Zhemin pulled me to Boeing this time because he lacked helpers. I was always excluded in the research group."

"."

Li Ye looked at Jiao Yaqiang in surprise. He didn't expect that this guy who looked carefree had this side of his mind.

Jiao Yaqiang suddenly looked at Li Ye and asked: "Brother Li Ye, do you have anything to say to me?"

Li Ye couldn't help laughing.

I haven't invited Jiao Yaqiang to come and "work" for me yet! This guy seems to have smelled the signs.

[Well, he wants an organization. The organization of international students is the education system, right? Then Teacher Ke asked me if I needed support at the beginning. Isn't this necessary? 】
