Mark responded without hesitation, and Jason nodded frequently in agreement. It was just his second day here and he had not tasted any authentic food. Although he was not a foodie, he smelled the spicy smell in the air.
I still can't control the saliva overflowing from the corner of my mouth.
"What do you all want to eat?"
Qu Yina opened the other two menus and placed them in front of Mark and Jason. Unfortunately, they could speak Chinese but did not know Chinese characters. There were no reference pictures on the menus. The two had to laugh awkwardly and didn't say anything for a long time.
Say a word.
Just when he was embarrassed, the phone in Jason's pocket vibrated and rang, "I'm going to answer the phone. You can order food. I can eat whatever you want!"
With that said, he quickly left the embarrassing place and walked towards the door.
"Yina, I don't know Chinese characters, so you have the final say."
Mark scratched his head innocently, then closed the menu and put it back to its original position.
"That's fine."
Qu Yina also realized her oversight and looked at the menu, "Then we want the mild spicy pot. If it's not enough, we can add more ingredients, and then the set meal for four people is economical..."
Qu Yina and Mark were ordering food, and Jason strode out of the hot pot restaurant. He looked at the door to see if there was no one before he answered the phone. He didn't use broken Chinese, but standard American English, "hi, rubin..."
We chatted for about ten minutes. During the process, Jason sometimes showed excitement and joy, sometimes a little embarrassed and entangled, and finally said, "ineedsetimetothinkitover!" and then hung up the phone.
Just as he turned around to go back to the house, he found Shen Dapeng standing at the door, less than five meters away from him.
You Qi saw Shen Dapeng staring at him with curious eyes. Jason frowned in displeasure, "Why are you eavesdropping on other people's phone calls? It's really rude."
"Are you talking about the mobile phone smart system? I didn't mean to eavesdrop, and some of the concepts you just talked about are not necessarily big secrets, right?"
Not long after Shen Dapeng arrived, he stood at the door just out of politeness and wanted to go in with Jason, but he didn't expect that such a misunderstanding would arise.
But think about it, around 1998, the smartphone system was an absolutely leading and monopolized high-end technology. Even at the national level, it could not catch up with well-known American companies in a short period of time. It was not enough for Jason to be so careful to treat it as a business secret.
Strange.
But all this is really nothing secret to Shen Dapeng.
"Shen Dapeng, what do you mean?"
Jason's Chinese is not as good as Mark's, so he has no problem communicating normally, but he obviously still doesn't understand the rhetorical questions.
"Heh, I mean you guys are awesome."
Shen Dapeng didn't want to explain too much and went into the store by himself.
"you……"
Jason hesitated to speak, but gradually calmed down as he looked at Shen Dapeng's back. He didn't talk too much about the system project just now. He only briefly mentioned the acquisition of G Search Company to the team leader.
Even if Shen Dapeng, a plain-looking student, heard about this kind of thing involving cooperation between the team and the company, it would not have any impact.
In the hot pot restaurant, the boss recognized Shen Dapeng at a glance. After all, Sun Dapaozi acted like a gangster when he came to eat some time ago. He even gave them wine at a discount because of this. Naturally, he was deeply impressed by them, but every day
There were too many guests, but I didn’t remember Qu Yina who left first that day.
"Brother, here you go again? Why are you alone today?" The boss was so enthusiastic that he looked out the door while speaking. He only saw the gringos and not the tattooed Sun Dapaozi, so he felt relieved.
.
"We are together."
Shen Dapeng looked around and pointed at Qu Yina's seat at the back.
"Okay, then sit down quickly. They have already ordered the food and will be here soon. They will give you a 10% discount as I said before."
Without Sun Dapaozi's presence, the boss smiled obviously and naturally, and hurried to the kitchen to urge the meal to be served quickly.
While Shen Dapeng was talking to his boss, Jason had already returned to the seat opposite Mark and Qu Yina, but his expression was not right, and he remained silent as if thoughtfully.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Shen Dapeng smiled and sat next to Jason. Jason didn't even look at him, but frowned and moved his chair.
Shen Dapeng didn't take it seriously at all. He easily took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair. Then he looked at Mark and said, "Mark, I heard Ina say that you have decided to stay here?"
"That's right, I want to be Ina's flower protector!"
"That's it?" Shen Dapeng raised his eyebrows.
"It's not all because of Ina!"
Mark shook his head, "I heard Ina mentioned your laboratory, and I'm very interested."
"Are you interested in the laboratory or Senior Sister Qu?"
Shen Dapeng could tell that there was some love in Mark's eyes when he looked at Qu Yina, but he was more restrained than Qifeng. He joked that Mark had a good personality, simple and direct.
"I have known Ina for several years. She has been hot and cold to me, and I have long been used to it. The most important thing... I have been used to being by her side, even if she is guarding her, and even watching her happy.
also."
Mark looked at Qu Yina seriously, but immediately looked at Shen Dapeng, "Originally I just wanted to see Yina, but since I heard that your laboratory purchased a relatively advanced ame detector, I am more interested in you.
"
"I am a man and my orientation is normal. Please don't be interested in me."
Shen Dapeng chuckled and glanced at Qu Yina and Mark opposite him. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the two of them were quite suitable, especially since Mark could turn his love for Qu Yina into a heartfelt blessing. This is not something that any man can do.
Do it generously.
"I'm not kidding, do you think I'm funny?"
Mark looked extremely serious, "Do you know how high the status of material recycling technology is now in the United States? In recent years, several large consortiums have been competing for the market in this area, ranging from the country's aerospace and ordnance to small ones.
In life, medicine, food and clothing are enough to cover all walks of life."
"So...my aunt is quite discerning?"
Shen Dapeng smiled self-deprecatingly, "I know a little bit about what you are talking about. For example, the most famous tree species in your country, the redwood tree, weighs hundreds of tons and is tens of meters high, but it can stand firm in earthquakes. Why?"
"Huh? Sequoia trees?" Mark raised his eyebrows in confusion, wondering why Shen Dapeng suddenly mentioned trees.
"Because a kind of fiber can be extracted from redwood trees. I can't tell what it is called, but this kind of fiber can remain intact under the pulling and squeezing of huge forces. If it can be applied to technological products, it will definitely increase the number of products."
