Carrying a small trolley suitcase, I walked out of the San Francisco Airport. Fortunately, it was not as hot as Ju An imagined. Ju An thought it would be in the high 30s, but who knew that Ju An was only two or three degrees hotter than in Montana?
, still very comfortable.
When he came out of the exit, he saw his senior brother Liu Chao holding up a big white card, looking at the exit slyly, dragging the trolley box and walking quickly towards Liu Chao, and then gave Liu Chao a big bear hug. Ju An said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in the past few days. I'm much thinner."
Ah, my sister-in-law doesn’t have any restraint either."
Liu Chao put his arm around Ju An's neck and strangled him hard: "You are the one who talks a lot, get in the car and go home." After saying that, he picked up Ju An's small trolley suitcase and asked Ju An to walk out.
Looking at the cars passing by on both sides through the car window, Ju An said: "There are so many people, it's not refreshing at all."
Liu Chao said: "This time I'm not asking you to come and look at the car. Today is to celebrate the completion of our company's first business deal. We held a small celebration party in the company. As a shareholder of the company, of course you have to come."
"Oh! So there are singing and dancing, and you should call me if you want to have fun, eh! Senior brother and classmate, you did well." Ju An patted Liu Chao's arm who was driving, and the old man said again.
Unexpectedly, Liu Chao didn't fight back verbally, but just laughed: "It's a good thing. When did I forget you? When someone mentioned that there was a celebration party this time, I decided to invite you over. After all, it's a company."
"The first order".
Ju An was not confused by Liu Chao's words. He looked at Liu Chao and said, "It's not normal for you not to say anything back to me. Tell me if there is any conspiracy waiting for me."
Liu Chao said: "What conspiracy can I have to abduct and traffic you? You are so old. If someone wants to abduct you, it will be a waste of food. You will sell what cannot be sold. If there is a conspiracy, there is no need to use it on you."
Ju An thought for a while but couldn't figure out what was wrong. Anyway, he just felt that something was wrong.
"Should I go to your company or your home first?" Ju An simply didn't want to think about it anymore.
Liu Chao emphasized: "This is our company, and you are also the major shareholder after all. Why do you have no sense of ownership and responsibility?"
"That's right. I feel relieved when you answer like this." Ju An touched his chest and said, "I know, it's our company and I'm the major shareholder, so should we go to your house to put our luggage first or go to our company first?"
I also specially emphasized the word "we".
"Go to my house first, put down your luggage, take a look at the room your sister-in-law has prepared for you, and tell me if you need anything," Liu Chao said.
Ju An smiled and said, "What can I be dissatisfied about? Is there a toilet?"
Liu Chao glanced at him and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? I don't have a toilet at home."
Ju An said: "That's fine. You don't know that in the house I rented in China, there are about ten people with one bathroom. Every day I hold back and go to the company to use the bathroom."
Liu Chao said: "You are a bad guy who has had a miserable life in China. Fortunately, you have met a good old man. Otherwise, your character will suffer for the rest of your life. I say you can't be a little self-motivated. It's not impossible.
His temperament is also too laid-back.”
Ju An nodded: "This is the truth. When I was in China, I never thought about the house and didn't dare to think about it."
Liu Chao said: "Bullshit! Why are we all graduated from the same school? Why can others do well but you can't? It's because of your character. Apart from being with a few people, you are not enthusiastic. You can't say that the leader is good. The leader's cup is empty.
I won’t help to add saliva, no wonder you, Wang Fan, are the most affectionate with you, you two have a bad temper, both of you are stupid at heart.”
Ju An sighed: "There was a time when I was in China and wanted to wait and serve in front of the leaders. As I was doing it, I felt that I was looking down on myself, and I felt uncomfortable."
Liu Chao sighed and said: "It's really hard to survive in China if you don't know how to do this. I couldn't get used to doing this when I was in China. When I was working as a teaching assistant in the school, another person in a teaching and research department followed the leader closely. Every time something happened,
All the good things happened to him. Most of the coolie jobs came from me. I argued a few times and gave me little shoes to wear. I quit my job in anger and came here to study with a little money. When I first came here, I ate in the restaurant every day.
I washed dishes for several hours. I was still working illegally at that time. In Chinese restaurants, the Chinese bosses treated us well and paid us decent wages. Then I washed dishes for more than two years and did projects with my tutor before I gradually became more and more mature.
I got better, and then I borrowed a loan to study. When I was studying, your sister-in-law often brought food for me and other guys to eat. I had never experienced such hardships when I was in China. I happened to meet some alumni at a gathering in San Francisco two days ago.
When I came to the former director of the teaching and research section, I walked up to him and said directly, "I'm a fool, it's so cool. A lot of people around me were stunned. Didn't you see the look on that bastard's face?"
Ju An said with a smile: "It's his grandma's fault for talking about me, but you are also like this."
Liu Chao said: "Seventy percent of my graduate school classmates have gone abroad now, and more than half of them are in the United States and Canada. Last time the alumni who were in the United States chose San Francisco for the alumni reunion, I actually knew less than half of them."
Ju An smiled and said: "So many brothers and sisters are here? How come I haven't even met a Chinese person?"
Liu Chao smiled and said: "Then you have never been to Vancouver, Canada. It's enough to speak Chinese there. Now there are several small towns in San Francisco where all the people speak Chinese, which is no different from that in China."
"It will be great now. In a few years, the United States and China may become one country. From now on, the United States must elect presidents in Chinese. No one will understand what he is saying," Ju An said happily.
The two of them drove into a small town on the outskirts of San Francisco. It was no different from a common American town. There were rows of two-story small buildings. When they entered the community, Ju An found three little girls at the door.
They were selling lemonade, and there was a sign in front that said lemonade, $0.25 a cup. We don't accept checks, and there were three little girls' names and ages written on it, the oldest was 8 years old, and the youngest was 6 years old.
Seeing a car approaching, the three little girls immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "Lemonade, lemonade, the best lemonade, $0.25 per cup."
Ju An quickly asked Liu Chao to step aside, then took out a steel drill from his pocket and handed it to a girl with a chipped tooth: "Two glasses of lemonade, no need to look for it, the rest is a tip."
The cute little Hua Ya said: "Thank you, sir." Then the other two little girls handed Ju An two disposable cups of lemonade, and handed one of the cups in their hands to Liu Chao.
Liu Chao took a sip of lemonade and said to Ju An with a smile: "You still have this hobby and like to drink lemonade."
Ju An glanced at Liu Chao: "I learned about it once when I saw a family doing a garage sale. I think it's great for children to sell small things by themselves. When I see it, I will support the little ones."
At this time, a little girl inside said: "Hi, Steven".
Liu Chao smiled and replied: "Hello, Erica, the lemonade is really delicious." The three little girls became happy when they heard someone complimenting them.
Ju An said: "Damn! Why don't you buy it if you know it?"
Liu Chao spread his hands and said, "You bought it first, why should I buy it?" This left Ju An speechless.
After driving for a while, we finally arrived at the door of Liu Chao's house. His sister-in-law Zhao Nan was already waiting at the door. He stopped the car in front of the garage. Ju An jumped out of the car and called: "Hello, sister-in-law." Zhao Nan
He happily took Ju An's luggage and took Ju An into the house. He went up to the second floor, opened a room and led Ju An in. Ju An took a look and saw ocean blue walls, a big bed, a desk and something.
They all had it, and he quickly said: "Thank you sister-in-law, these things are enough." After saying that, he opened the suitcase, took out his notebook and clothes, and put them away. Zhao Nan watched Ju An pack his clothes.
Then he backed out and closed the door.
By the time Ju An arrived downstairs, Zhao Nan and Liu Chao were already sitting downstairs watching TV.
Ju An said to Liu Chao: "Brother, will my sister-in-law also go to the celebration today?"
Zhao Nan looked at Liu Chao and said with a smile: "Didn't you tell him that he was only from your company?"
Liu Chao scratched his head and said: "Your sister-in-law is not going. The neighbor invited her to dinner today. All the people who went there today are people from the company. I will bring some beer there and everyone will be busy."
Ju An nodded and said, "It's up to you. I will definitely obey the organization's arrangements." After chatting for a while, Liu Chao looked at his watch and said to Zhao Nan, "It's getting late, let's go." He kissed
After Zhao Nan paused, he stood up and waved his hand: "Let's go, Anzi."
When he and his sister-in-law arrived separately, Ju An followed Liu Chao into the car and drove towards the company. Ju An looked at it for a while and felt something was wrong: "Why are you always wandering around outside the city? The company shouldn't be in the city."
"Where?"
Liu Chao smiled evilly: "Who told you that the company must be in the city? We will be there in a while."
Ju An felt more and more disappointed as he walked. He finally heard Liu Chao say that he was almost there. Ju An took a look and thought, come on, there is no need to look at this place. There is not even a decent house.
When he reached an old wooden house, Liu Chao stopped the car and said to Ju An: "The company has arrived, and I would like to invite Mr. Shareholder to inspect it."
If at other times Ju An could still cooperate with carrying this hand and humming back and forth twice, now he can only have a sad face. Some of the paint on the brick and concrete exterior walls has peeled off. The whole thing is like the Japanese that Ju An has seen when he was in China.
When he walked to the door of the stable where the Japanese had left him, Liu Chao opened the door. Only then did Ju An notice a sign next to it that said something about a software company.
After entering the house, Ju An felt better. It was very clean inside, with a sofa, a coffee area, and several desks. When Ju An entered, there were already two people inside.
There was a white man in his thirties and the other was an aunt in her fifties. Ju An was wondering if this aunt was sweeping the floor.
Liu Chao introduced: "This is our investor An, this is our partner William, and this is the company's secretary and operator Kayla." When Ju An saw that the aunt was the operator, he exclaimed, "I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it."
Ju An didn't even expect Liu Chao's next sentence: "Okay, everyone is here, then our company's first business celebration party will begin." As he said this, he took the lead in applauding, and Ju An looked at it
The celebration for four people was so full that I almost fainted.
