There is a cross-sea bridge from San Rafael to the East Bay area that is longer than the Golden Gate Bridge. The structure of the bridge is very similar to the bridge in the game of chicken. During this time, Chen Mo was playing the game of chicken and drove his Lexus to the middle of the bridge.
, seeing the familiar steel frame structure, Chen Mo instinctively looked up, down, left, and right, for fear that someone would suddenly come out...
The gentle sea breeze and the calls of white seabirds resting on the steel frame of the bridge...
Chen Xiao pressed down the car window, looking at ease.
"Call Xiong San'er and ask him to send his address." Chen Mo said.
"Okay, we'll do it right away."
When Xiong Jieming sent the location address, Chen Mo and the others had already passed the bridge and went to the university town to find a coffee shop according to the address...
"Old Biao." Xiong Jieming put his head in and shouted, quickly coming out of the cafe: "Is this a new car you bought?"
"Yeah." Chen Mo smiled and nodded. This guy was wearing a suit, and he was dressed... so much like the male protagonist of "A Smile Is Alluring" that Chen Mo almost didn't dare to recognize him.
"Lexus, which model is it?"
"ls. Stop being here, go in and introduce your little girlfriend." Chen Mo saw a pretty girl at the window. She was sitting with Xiong Jieming just now. She was quite pretty.
Xiong Jieming scratched his head in disbelief...
Entering the coffee shop, Chen Mo ordered two cups of coffee before going over.
"Zhang Qianqian...this is my cousin, Chen Mo." Xiong Jieming introduced.
Zhang Qianqian put on light makeup, and her face looked delicate and beautiful. After hearing Xiong Jieming's introduction, Zhang Qianqian stood up quickly...
This caught Chen Mo off guard.
"My cousin, Chen Xiao."
Zhang Qianqian said politely: "Hello, cousin, hello, cousin."
"Hello." Chen Mo said with a smile.
The coffee was brought quickly, and Chen Mo took a sip: "There are no classes in the afternoon?"
"Today is Friday. Most departments have no classes, except for students who want to attend lectures." Xiong Jieming said: "Cousin, I will have a holiday here in another month. You said you would introduce me to a job?"
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem." Chen Mo looked at Xiong Jieming carefully. Within a few months of arriving here, this kid had become a lot more foreign-looking, and he almost looked like a different person: "How do you feel here?"
"The atmosphere of the school is very different from when I was in high school. I have more free time. In other aspects, I feel like I don't have enough money..." Xiong Jieming said sheepishly.
"I heard that the university town will provide many job opportunities for work-study students?"
"For job opportunities in the park, there are usually more than a dozen people competing for one position, and most of them are left to second- and third-year students. We first-year students and international students cannot compete for these positions at all."
After sitting in the cafe for a while, a red BMW drove up outside. A middle-aged woman looked into the cafe from the car...
"My mother..." Zhang Qianqian quickly stood up and walked out: "Mom."
Xiong Jieming looked at Zhang Qianqian's mother with some fear: "Qianqian's mother is here to accompany her to study. By the way, we have made an appointment to go shopping in San Francisco in the afternoon."
Chen Mo has a black line on his head...
"Go ahead, I just want to buy a few sets of clothes." Seeing that Chen Mo was a little unhappy, Chen Xiao took Chen Mo's arm and said coquettishly.
"All right."
Xiong Jieming was a little embarrassed: "I just forgot."
"It's okay, let's come together. I'm also going to buy a few sets of summer clothes..."
Chen Mo picked up the coffee and walked out, and got to know Zhang Qianqian's mother.
Zhang Qianqian's parents must be rich, so it's not unusual for them to come to study with them. If they were from a very ordinary family, how many would come out to study abroad? Zhang Qianqian is still young, and there is a stupid young man who chased him to the United States... Zhang Qianqian has family members
It's not unusual to come over and study with you.
Qianqian’s mother doesn’t like Xiong Jieming very much.
If Chen Mo were Qian Qian's mother, she would definitely not like this kid...
But my daughter likes him. This guy has some abilities...
Both of them are too young, and no one knows what will happen in the future. What Qianqian's mother has to do is to take good care of her daughter.
"Hello, aunt, I am Jieming's cousin, Chen Mo."
"I am cousin Jieming, Chen Xiao."
"Oh, hello..." Qianqian's mother looked at Chen Mo with a smile on her face: "I heard Jimin talking about you."
Chen Mo smiled.
"We made an appointment to go to San Francisco. I'm going to buy some things."
"Um."
Chen Mo took out the car keys and sat in the passenger seat. Xiong Jieming occupied the passenger seat...
The group set out and when they were approaching the Jin'ao Cross-sea Bridge, Xiong Jieming looked at Chen Mo with a troubled face: "Cousin, can you lend me another sum of money?"
Chen Mo looked unhappy.
Relatives are estranged, and Chen Mo has not returned the $60,000 that Bai Xiaoou gave him...
"I signed up for a driving school and am taking the driver's license test..."
"The total cost of applying for a driving school and hiring a professional instructor is only four to five hundred dollars. I gave you 60,000 dollars before, but it was all spent?" Chen Mo asked in disbelief.
Consumption here in the San Francisco Bay Area is indeed high, but if you don’t have money, there are ways to live without money.
"Qianqian's mother likes to take Qianqian everywhere to play whenever she has free time, so I followed her, and before I knew it, the money..."
"How can you blame other people? You have never experienced hard times." Chen Mo turned to look at him: "I think Zhang Qianqian's family conditions are very good. In China, their family is at least a wealthy family with more than 10 million yuan.
...You are both young now. If you can't integrate into her life, or she can't accommodate your life...it's better to just...break up."
"I really like him."
"How old do you have to be to speak your truth?" Chen Mo was speechless.
"I'm an adult."
Chen Xiao from behind suppressed a smile: "He just turned 18 last month."
"Little brat, if you have no experience, what can you say if you are sincere or not?" Chen Mo was really speechless.
In today's world, an eighteen-year-old brat starts to spread his dog's food, but he really... really can make a living out of it.
"I feel very romantic. Have you ever thought about the future? It will not be easy for you to study in this university... If I remember correctly, my third uncle gave you all his savings, and you still owe me 60,000 US dollars."
Chen Mo didn't quite understand what an 18-year-old boy was thinking.
As soon as Chen Mo talked about him, his head immediately buried his head, and his head turned red and hot... I don't know if it was guilt, shame, or anger.
"We have a holiday in mid-to-late May. Then I will go to work..."
"Why can't you grasp the point? It's not about money now...it's about money." Chen Mo frowned: "How much do you want to borrow?"
"1,000."
"Okay, let's write an IOU."
"Um."
Chen Mo shook his head: "Think about what I just said. At the very least, don't go to activities that require money. If you don't work, you don't know how difficult it is to make money."
Chen Xiao patted him from behind: "Chen Mo is right, think about how much it will cost you to go to college for four years. You are not rich in the first place, so there is no need to lose face... Zhang Qianqian really likes you, she doesn't care if you have
You don’t have money. On the contrary, you overdo it and make people look down on you... When you are studying, you should put your studies first. Also, plan your consumption. Don’t think that studying at Berkeley is a great thing. Spend too much now, and you will regret it in the future..."
According to statistics, graduates from the University of California, Berkeley, ten years later, will have an average annual income of more than $60,000 and less than $70,000.
For poor students, how many can succeed in starting their own business?
