Meng Shaoyuan didn't let Steward Qiu send him back.

He also wanted to walk around on his own and think about what to do.

The prosperity of Shanghai's public concession can only be experienced by those who come here in person.

In the Public Concession, the standard of living of American expatriates is the highest.

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

A foreigner about the same age as Meng Shaoyuan walked up.

The two glanced at each other, and the foreigner suddenly said in fluent Chinese, "Hey, it's you?" ”

Meng Shaoyuan also felt that he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while: "You are?" ”

"Nanjing, Nanjing. Henglong, Xu Deshan. ”

Ah, remembered.

That was the first time Meng Shaoyuan went to Hang Lung, and when he was waiting at the door, didn't he just see this foreigner walking out of Hang Lung, and he kept complaining that Xu Deshan was a hooligan and unreasonable?

I didn't expect him to come to Shanghai too.

And this guy has such a good memory, he just glanced at it in a hurry, and he actually recognized himself at a glance?

"Great, Nanjing, we'll see. Shanghai, we meet again. The foreigner was very enthusiastic: "This is really 'very round and a thousand miles to see'." ”

What the?

Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, laughing and laughing.

It should be said that "there is a fate to meet thousands of miles", right?

"I, American, Kret." The foreigner pointed to himself and said, "You, Chinese, we meet for the second time, can you invite me to dinner?" ”

Yes?

Is there anything else that works?

Which and where?

Meng Shaoyuan touched his head: "We don't know each other, you don't even know my name, why should I invite you to dinner?" ”

"What's your name?"

"Meng Shaoyuan."

"Look, we know each other now."

Burst!

Meng Shaoyuan almost squirted out, and fell for this foreigner: "Why should I." ”

"I'm hungry and have no money." Krett turned his pocket over, and it was cleaner than his face: "You, you're blind." ”

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

"Yes, yes, the liver and gallbladder are blind." Crett nodded again and again: "I'm blind, so I'm very happy to invite my friends to dinner." ”

Liver and gallbladder blind, very refreshing?

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly burst into a burst of laughter, and his stomach hurt from laughing: "Ouch, you are a dead foreigner, you are blind, and you are laughing at me...... That's called chivalrous and brave...... Ouch, no, no......"

Krett had no idea what the joke was.

Chivalrous what? Isn't the "liver and gallbladder blindness" that I learned by myself a very righteous word spoken by the Chinese?

"It's a thousand miles and I see it again, the liver and gallbladder are blind, you foreigner is so funny, I invite you to dinner, I invite you to dinner." 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.

Kret's chopsticks are quite good, the wind is whirling, two large bowls of white rice are in the stomach, and there is no soup for the four dishes.

The guy patted his stomach and was very satisfied: "Thank you, my friend." As the Chinese saying goes, the kindness of a meal must be repaid with spring water......"

"Stop, stop."

Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly stopped, for fear that Kreit would say something to make himself spray rice again: "I said Xiao Ke, you are also an American, how did you end up in this step?" ”

"Fields? I don't have a field at home, we don't farm. ”

No way!

Meng Shaoyuan was angry and happy: "I said, how did you become like this?" ”

"Ah, that's it, it's all to blame on that big hooligan Xu Deshan."

Krett said it as it was.

He is a 25-year-old native of Miami, Florida, USA, who began to study Chinese history at an early age and is full of interest in China.

He saved up a sum of money and traveled across the ocean to the country he longed for, ready to pan for gold while taking a good look at China.

His first stop was Nanjing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Nanjing, he fell for someone else's fool. A man pretended to be friends with him, gained his trust, tricked him into the casino, set up a game, and won his money cleanly.

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

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

Crett had no choice but to go to the U.S. Embassy for help, but the ambassador couldn't help it, so he funded him a sum of money and dismissed the matter.

He wanted to try his luck in Shanghai, but he didn't expect that this guy was also unlucky, and when he arrived in Shanghai, he was "patronized" by pickpockets, and as a result, he was left penniless, living on the streets, and he didn't eat for more than a day.

He wanted to ask the local church for help, but he didn't expect to meet Meng Shaoyuan on the road.

"You guy, you're unlucky." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't cry or laugh: "It's a liar and a thief, and you have met it." Why can't you meet good people? ”

"You're a good person, a great person, invite me to dinner." Crett gave a thumbs up.

"It's done, it's done, don't be a sycophant." Meng Shaoyuan thought for a while: "I'm a good person to the end, lend you a sum of money, you hurry back to your United States, if you have a chance to meet again in the future, remember to return it to me." ”

"No, I'm not going back." Unexpectedly, Krett said very firmly: "I want to stay in China." ”

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

"I will do a lot of things, I study Chinese history, but my major is chemistry, I got my bachelor's degree at the age of 20, and then I enrolled in the electrical engineering department and got my master's degree."

Hey, this guy is so smart?

Chemistry, electrical engineering?

These are very useful!

Kret gushed: "My hobby is shooting, all my marksmanship is very accurate......"

"Alright, alright."

Meng Shaoyuan was afraid that he would not finish: "Which university are you from?" ”

"At MIT, my electrical engineering instructor is the famous Faneva Bush."

Meng Shaoyuan was drinking tea and almost squirted out.

Who?

Vanneva Bush?

Founder of the American Bureau of Scientific Research, America's greatest scientist and engineer?

During World War II, almost all of America's military research programs at that time came from Faneva's leadership.

The most famous of these is the Manhattan Project.

The Manhattan Project, the Atomic Bomb!

Of course, these are nothing, he has more remarkable inventions than the atomic bomb:

Analog Computer!

Without him, there would be no computer of the future!

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

Van Neva's students?

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

Krett was suddenly a little scared, could it be that this Chinese man has some problems in certain orientations?

At this moment, a high-pitched cry suddenly came from outside!
