Sail across the sea

The two siblings walked up to the stall, and sure enough they saw Yang Kai's self-proclaimed "Three Lowly Guests" sitting at a small table in front of the stall.

In front of each of the three people was a large bowl of dark brown rice wine.There are all kinds of food on the table. In addition to cheap snacks such as peanuts, edamame, and dried soybeans, there is also a plate of oily pork head, which cannot be seen on other tables.

It seems that people with dollars in their pockets have different consumption levels.

Four or five steps away from their table, some people were standing watching the excitement. Of course, what they were looking at was not the pork head meat, but the foreigner with blue eyes and a tall nose.

Watching foreign guests is inevitable everywhere.

"Now there are far fewer people around Bob to see what's new. When Bob first came here to eat, there were at least a thousand people watching, and the police even came." Gao Min introduced to Gao Fan in a low voice road.

"It's not new after you're used to it." Gao Fan said with a smile.

I have to say that Bob's psychological quality is really very strong. He was able to persist until everyone got tired of watching it and no longer had any sense of novelty, and finally integrated himself into the Cangtang environment.

What is elite? This is what elites are.

"Boss, add two stools and two bowls of wine. Mix half of my sister's bowl with water." Gao Fan ordered the stall owner.

"Hey, here we come. This kid is really good at talking. I'm just a farmer. I'm not the boss. Just call me old cousin." The stall owner was smiling and he hurriedly found two small bamboo chairs and handed them to Gao Fan, correcting Gao Fan's wording at the same time.

That being said, the look on the stall owner's face betrayed his true thoughts.Obviously, the title of boss is still very useful to the stall owner.

"Hey, Gao Fan, when did you come back?"

Ning Mo was facing the direction of Gao Fan and the others, so he naturally noticed the siblings first and quickly raised a plump bear paw to greet them.

Bob and Yang Kai turned their heads when they heard the sound, and when they saw them, Bob just gave him a smile, while Yang Kai stood up, took the bamboo chair, and placed it between his and Bob's seats.

There are two bamboo chairs. If Gao Fan wants to sit next to Yang Kai, it means Gao Min has to sit next to Bob.Gao Fan lacked confidence in Bob's character and did not dare to let his beautiful sister sit next to this hormonal American, so he sat on the chair next to Bob.

Gao Min was stunned for a moment, picked up his own chair, moved his position, and sat between Ning Mo and Yang Kai, which was closer to Ning Mo.

Ning Mo is a kid from the factory, and according to his seniority, he calls Gao Min his cousin. Gao Min doesn't know him very well, but at least they can chat with her.

"When will you be back?"

After both siblings sat down, Yang Kai picked up the wine bowl and gestured to Gao Fan, asking at the same time.

"We'll arrive in the afternoon." Gao Fan picked up the bowl, gestured to everyone, took a sip, and then replied.

"Boss, we are all waiting for you to come back. It is very irresponsible for you to leave such a big industry here." Bob also took a sip of wine and pretended to be dissatisfied.

Gao Fan sighed: "Oh, people in the world can't help themselves."

"Fat man, how did Gao Fan write this sentence?" Bob took out a beautiful notebook and a ballpoint pen from nowhere, handed it to Ning Mo, and asked him.

This Harvard top student never misses an opportunity to learn Chinese. During this time, he has even learned many Cangtang dialects.Ning Mo took the notebook and pen and wrote the four words "人在江湖" crookedly, but couldn't remember how to write "involuntarily", but Gao Min completed the words for him. .

Bob took back the notebook, looked at it, and smiled at Gao Min: "My sister's handwriting is really beautiful, much better than this fat man's. Every time I ask the fat man to write Chinese for me, I always doubt his writing." Is it Arabic writing?”

"Let me take a look." Yang Kai reached across the table, took the notebook and took a look at it, then turned to Gao Min and said, "Xiao Min's handwriting is really pretty, much better than Gao Fan's. ”

Gao Fan quit: "Hey, Yang Kai, did you call me Xiao Min too? That's my sister. You have to call her sister. Look at how polite Bob is."

"Bah!" Gao Min spat at Gao Fan and said, "Dr. Yang, don't listen to him. Bob is younger than me, just call me Xiao Min."

"Listen, I'm older than your sister, so you can call her Xiao Min." Yang Kai demonstrated to Gao Fan.

Gao Fan pointed at Ning Mo and said to Yang Kai, "The fat man is as old as you. Ask him what he calls me sister."

"Cousin!" Ning Mo had some talent for being a compliment. After hearing Gao Fan's words, he immediately bowed slightly to Gao Min and called her cousin.

In fact, this kind of distant relative relationship in small places is not usually very particular, especially among young people, and they will not talk about it.In the past, when Ning Mo met Gao Min and Gao Fan, he would call them by their first names.

But now Gao Fan is obviously trying to show off, so of course Ning Mo has to cooperate.

"Fat man, you're looking for death!" Gao Min slapped Ning Mo on the back and laughed.

"Cousin, I respect you." Ning Mo received a slap and greeted Gao Min with a smile on his face as he picked up the wine.

Gao Min was originally here to play, so when he saw Ning Mo toasting to her, he naturally wanted to express his gratitude by picking up the wine.

After the fight, Bob said to Gao Fan: "Gao Fan, I heard that you have been helping the military develop technology in the past few months. As a friend and collaborator, I really don't want to see you having anything to do with the military. connection."

This is no longer a joke.Gao Fan also became serious and replied: "I just went to help a research institute in my personal capacity. Strictly speaking, they are not a military institution, they are just a little confidential."

Yang Kai interjected: "Bob, is your country still very sensitive to such issues? I heard that the military has a lot of cooperation with the United States."

Bob shrugged and said: "It is true that there is a lot of cooperation between the US government and the Chinese government, including cooperation in the military field. However, our Hatch Group is a commercial company, and we have our own assessment of possible risks. .”

This explanation was a bit confusing. Yang Kai didn't understand it for a moment and couldn't help but glance at Gao Fan.

Gao Fan smiled slightly and sighed inwardly. The fact that Hatch Group can achieve such a scale is indeed due to his own background.

At present, relations between China and the United States are rapidly warming up, economic and trade cooperation is booming, and cooperation in the military field is also in full swing.In a few years, the United States will also promote a military cooperation plan called "Peace Model" to help China improve the level of some military equipment.

At this time, many people, especially the vast majority of Chinese people, believe that China and the United States have eliminated the bad blood between them and are no longer on guard against each other.

However, Bob, the successor of the Hatch Group, knows very well that there cannot be complete trust between countries.
