Chapter 341: Cultures Are Different
"So safe at night?" Lisa was a little incredulous.
"Of course!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
There may be many places in China that are not as good as the developed countries in the West, but when it comes to night safety, it goes without saying. It's like Portland, it's not a small city, but at night, the streets are deserted.
Except in the bustling city center, where you can see people on the streets, you can't see people anywhere else. You're going to those dark corners, and there's only the gangsters except the police.
The rest of the people are basically going to get into all kinds of trouble.
"Then I'd like to check it out. The East, in our America, has always been mysterious. Lisa said.
Mysterious?Qin Feng was very curious.
"Of course, the history of the East, the civilization, and the many strange things that we have never seen on our side. Naturally, we are curious. Lisa yearned, "And your writing, which is different from all the writings in this world, is extremely unique. ”
Qin Feng smiled proudly.
"Chinese characters, each word has its meaning, and different characters and different combinations of characters have multiple meanings. Don't look at the Chinese characters, there are only a few thousand commonly used words, but when combined, they far exceed the tens of thousands of words in English. Qin Feng said with a smile, "In particular, in English, many new things need to create a new word to name, which often makes many people unable to understand their meaning, and must be re-learned." Chinese characters do not need to, no matter how new something comes out, Chinese characters can be named with a combination of a few words that are very simple and clear. ”
"Really, I'm interested in learning it!" Lisa smiled.
The two of them walked and chatted like this, sharing the cultural differences of different countries and the differences in beliefs.
"Qin, thank you very much for your explanation of Chinese culture. It was a very interesting night. I'm going home. By the way, I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow, would you be interested in joining me? Lisa invited.
Qin Feng's eyes lit up, this was an opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time.
"Of course I'm willing!, especially as a bitter master, I'm also willing to ask this bully who accused me of abducting underage girls for an explanation!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"That's right!See you tomorrow!" Lisa grinned.
The next day, the two went straight to San Francisco, of course, Emeryville, to be exact, located in the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, not far from Silicon Valley.
The two met Steve Jobs, who was still busy with work, at Pixar headquarters.
"This is the trafficker you call to abduct and sell underage girls, do you know how much trouble you have caused him, do you know what your behavior is? You keep saying that you don't care about me, but you send people to spy on me, you are a voyeur, a villain who doesn't believe in your word, you are a bastard!" Lisa pointed at Jobs' nose and scolded again.
All the Pixar employees were far away.
These two fathers and daughters, every time they meet, it is Mars hitting the earth. If you want to say who is right and who is wrong, you can't say. Because in the early years, Jobs's bastard behavior led to some of Lisa's excesses, as well as excesses.
Between them, there is no right or wrong. There are only grudges.
Others, naturally, can't interfere. However, it must be said that among Jobs's many children, the one who most resembles Jobs is this illegitimate daughter, who Jobs has not recognized for seven years.
So far, the eldest daughter, who has been often ignored and even neglected by Jobs, or treated nervously, is the most like Jobs.
As for the son born now, Reed, who is less than 4 years old, although he is still very young, he obviously does not have the kind of spirituality that Steve Jobs had for the world.
"Shut up. Do you know what your innocent friend has done? His lawyer is extorting $5 million from the Portland Police Department? This innocent, poor friend of yours is about to make a fortune. Jobs scolded, "He's not as innocent as you say he is, he may have calculated everything to prepare to blackmail the Portland Police Department to get a lot of compensation." And you're just a wretched creature in his calculations. You came here with this kind of conspirator, how can you talk to your father!"
Jobs roared, as if in the office, furious.
He was very angry, he didn't expect that everything he did for his daughter would be blamed. And he also brought that hateful Huaxia boy to settle accounts with him. And because of this Chinese kid, his director friend in Portland, is facing an extremely difficult situation.
"Jobs, don't you put on a face of God who does everything for your good. I do want your money, but that's what you should give me, and it's what you owe our mother and daughter all these years. If you gave birth to me, you should raise me. But you didn't, you were like a liar, saying that you were infertile, denying my existence. Did you know that my mother received social assistance for five years to support me, and in order to support me, she had to move from house to house in search of cheaper accommodation? Lisa also became excited, and shouted.
"And I'm used to not being there. But one day, you suddenly said, "You are my father, you should support me." But let me leave my mother, and cut off all contact with my mother, so that I can live with you. You're a bastard!Fuck through and through!" Lisa snarled as well.
"Your mother, what else can she do but be an alcoholic? And she is a good woman, and if you associate with her, you are insulting yourself, you are abusing your talents, and you are affecting your future. Everything she has now is her fault. She's a slut!" Jobs cursed viciously.
"Shut up. I will not allow you to curse my mother like that, let alone a woman who has given birth to a daughter for you. Lisa rushed over and grabbed Jobs by the hem.
"She's such a woman, such a slut who can do her best. If you want to blackmail me, you won't give me a single one! I won't give her a single one. But you are my daughter, I can spend money for you. But it was absolutely impossible to talk to her!" Jobs angrily rebuked.
Qin Feng on the side was dumbfounded. Is this the scene when the two father and daughter meet?
In later generations, Qin Feng once read Jobs' autobiography and Lisa's memoirs about Jobs. In the two books, Jobs's autobiography describes his regret for not fulfilling his father's responsibilities, and also disdains Lisa's mother. As for Lisa's memoirs of Jobs, they describe the tension between father and daughter many times.
But I didn't expect that the relationship was tense to this point. If this were to be in Huaxia, I'm afraid Lisa would have been killed a long time ago.
That's the cultural difference.
