Meng Shaoyuan did not let Butler Qiu send him back.

He also wanted to take a walk by himself and think carefully about what he should do.

Only those who come here in person can appreciate the prosperity of Shanghai's public concessions.

Among the public settlements, American expatriates have the highest living standards.

Moreover, Americans are second only to the British in terms of power on the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry and Industry.

A foreigner about the same age as Meng Shaoyuan walked towards him.

The two looked at each other, and the foreigner suddenly said in fluent Chinese: "Hey, is it you?"

Meng Shaoyuan also felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before: "Who are you?"

"Nanjing, Nanjing. Henglong, Xu Deshan."

Ah, I remembered it.

That was the first time Meng Shaoyuan went to Henglong Company. When he was waiting at the door, didn't he just see this foreigner walking out of Henglong Company and still complaining that Xu Deshan was a gangster and unreasonable?

I didn't expect that he would also come to Shanghai.

And this guy has such a good memory. He just took a quick glance at him, but he actually recognized him at a glance?

"It's great, we meet in Nanjing. We meet again in Shanghai." The foreigner was very enthusiastic: "This is really 'seeing things again after a thousand miles'."

What?

Meng Shaoyuan was startled for a moment before he realized what he was doing, and he couldn't even laugh or cry.

It should be "We are destined to meet thousands of miles apart", right?

"I am an American, Crete." The foreigner pointed at himself and said: "You, a Chinese, this is the second time we meet, can you treat me to dinner?"

ah?

Is there any other operation like this?

Where is this?

Meng Shaoyuan rubbed his head: "We are not familiar with each other. You don't even know my name. Why should I invite you to dinner?"

"May I have your name?"

"Meng Shaoyuan."

"Look, we know each other now."

puff!

Meng Shaoyuan almost burst into tears, having been fooled by this foreigner: "Why should I?"

"I'm very hungry and have no money." Crete turned over his pocket, and the inside was cleaner than his face: "You are blind."

"What?" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes widened: "What did you say? Am I blind?"

"Yes, that's right, I'm a blind man." Crater nodded repeatedly: "I'm a blind man, and I'm very happy to invite my friends to dinner."

The liver and gallbladder are blind, and you feel very refreshed?

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly burst out laughing so hard that his stomach hurt: "Oh, you damn foreigner, you are blind, you are laughing so hard... That is called chivalrous and courageous... Ouch, I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore..."

Crater had no idea what the point of the joke was.

What is a chivalrous person? What I learned is "the liver and the gallbladder are blind". Isn't it a Chinese word that emphasizes loyalty?

"It's a thousand miles away and I see it again. I'm so excited. You, a foreigner, are so funny. I'll treat you to a meal. I'll treat you to a meal." Meng Shaoyuan was overjoyed.

Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan invited a foreigner who could speak Chinese and Chinese idioms to have a meal.

Then he saw what it means to be reincarnated as a starving ghost.

Crete was very good at using chopsticks. After two large bowls of white rice, Feng Zhuan Yun finished the four dishes without even the soup.

The guy patted his belly and was very satisfied: "Thank you, my friend. As the Chinese say, a favor should be repaid with spring water..."

"Stop, stop."

Meng Shaoyuan quickly stopped, fearing that Crete would say something that would make him angry again: "I mean, Xiaoke, you are an American after all, how did you end up in this situation?"

"Field? My family doesn't have any land. We don't farm."

Holy shit!

Meng Shaoyuan was angry and happy: "How could you become like this?"

"Ah, so it's all the fault of that big gangster Xu Deshan."

Crater said it truthfully.

He is a native of Miami, Florida, USA. He is 25 years old. He started studying Chinese history very early and is full of interest in China.

He saved a lot of money and traveled across the ocean to the country he longed for, intending to take a good look at China and pan for gold at the same time.

His first stop was Nanjing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Nanjing, he was deceived by others. Someone pretended to be friends with him, and after gaining his trust, he deceived him into a casino, set up a game, and won all his money.

.

He later realized that he had been deceived, and when he inquired, he found out that the casino belonged to Xu Deshan, so he found Hang Lung Company, hoping to get some money back so that he could live on.

Who would have thought that Xu Deshan would kick him out.

Crater had no choice but to find the American Embassy for help, but the ambassador was helpless and gave him a sum of money to get rid of the problem.

He wanted to try his luck in Shanghai, but he didn't expect that this guy was also unlucky. He was "patronized" by pickpockets just after arriving in Shanghai. As a result, he was penniless and lived on the streets without eating for more than a day.

He wanted to find help from the local church, but unexpectedly met Meng Shaoyuan on the road.

"You guys are quite unlucky." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't laugh or cry: "You are both a liar and a thief. How come you can't meet a good person?"

"You are a good person, a great person. Please treat me to dinner." Kraite gave a thumbs up.

"It's done, it's done, don't flatter me." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while and said, "I'll do my best to help you. I'll lend you a sum of money and you can go back to the United States as soon as possible. If we have the chance to meet you again in the future, remember to return the favor."

Just give it to me."

"No, I won't go back." Unexpectedly, Crete said firmly: "I want to stay in China."

"No, the question is, if you stay in China, what can you do?"

"I can do many things. I studied Chinese history, but my major was chemistry. I got my bachelor's degree at the age of twenty. Then I enrolled in the Department of Electronic Engineering and got my master's degree."

Hey, this guy is so smart?

Chemistry, electronic engineering?

These are very useful!

Crete gushed: "My hobby is shooting, and my marksmanship is very accurate..."

"Okay, okay."

Meng Shaoyuan was afraid that he would keep talking: "Which university are you from?"

"At MIT, my electrical engineering instructor was the famous Vannevar Bush."

Meng Shaoyuan was drinking tea and almost spit it out.

who?

Vannevar Bush?

Founder of the National Service of Scientific Research and America's greatest scientist and engineer?

During World War II, almost all military research programs in the United States were led by Vannevar.

The most famous of them is the "Manhattan Project".

The Manhattan Project, the atomic bomb!

Of course, these are nothing, he also has an invention that is even more amazing than the atomic bomb:

Analog computer!

Without him, there would be no future computers!

Without him, there would be no future Microsoft and Bill Gates.

Vannevar's student?

Meng Shaoyuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Crete, his look was like a pervert seeing a peerless beauty.

Crete was suddenly a little scared. Could it be that this Chinese man had some problems with his orientation?
