Chapter 360 Returning

Young people do not know the taste of sorrow. Qiu Huoming is not a real young man, but that does not stop him from getting drunk.

Unfortunately, his alcohol tolerance was really good. After drinking two bottles of beer, apart from his flushed cheeks, he was not drunk at all.

This is a bit close to his drinking capacity in his previous life. Qiu Huoming felt both relieved and regretful. After draining his urine, he lay on the bed and thought carefully about what happened today.

He handed the patent over to William. On the one hand, it was a sudden idea, but he had indeed analyzed it in his mind. At present, the country is still a planned economy. After the economy is fully liberalized, it will be a bustling and disorderly state. This patent has almost no technical content and can be imitated as long as a sample is brought back.

It is better to sell it abroad and earn some foreign exchange.

Qiu Huoming is far away in the country and cannot handle the things here. Having a reliable person to take care of things here is a hundred times better than him doing it personally.

He just doesn't know when he can really earn back the 1 US dollars he spent today. He still has 5000 US dollars on hand, which he has to hand over after returning home.

After all, his identity this time is a member of the inspection team, so he still has to save face.

According to President Zhou, if the money is reviewed and found to be OK, it may be returned to him intact. In addition, the state may even give him additional rewards.

Qiu Huoming turned over and the figure of Zhao Jiamin appeared in his mind. He was just a young man with nothing at the moment. If he had a big family and a big business in the future, there would probably be more people coming to him.

People like Danielle were all teenagers at that time, and they only cared about feelings, not conditions.

From now on, people who come up to you will be of all kinds, so you have to stick to your original intention.

The figure of Zhao Jiamin became clearer and clearer in his mind. The little girl's mouth corners were raised, and her eyebrows were curved. Qiu Huoming smiled unconsciously.

As long as Zhao Jiamin is still here, my heart will be the stabilizer.

He pulled up the quilt, turned off the light, and fell into a dream.

The following days went on as planned, the agreement was signed, and I returned home soon after.

Qiu Huoming left quietly. Farewell is always sad and he didn't want to see sad people.

He was carrying two boxes and a backpack. The school gate was still busy in the evening. He looked up at the school gate. He put down the boxes and left a shadow with the camera hanging around his neck.

Turning around, he saw William and Daniel standing at the door of a cafe not far away, waving to him.

Qiu Huoming's eyes became hot and he almost couldn't hold it back.

After approaching, William came up and gave him a big hug, "Qiu, wait for me, if I make money this time, I will come to you during the summer vacation..."

He let go of his hand, and Danielle came over. She held out her hand, "Qiu, use the etiquette of your country."

"I wish you a bright future..." Daniel's eyes turned red. "I will go to the East in the future, too. You won't reject me, will you?"

Qiu Huoming shook her hand and then released it. "Warm welcome. I'll introduce someone to you later and ask her to show you around. There are many beautiful sights in the East."

"Let's go. Don't see me off. I can't bear to see this." Qiu Huoming reached out and wiped his eyes.

He picked up the box, turned around, and didn't even look back...

The sunset glowed half the sky, and his back was lonely and desolate...

Took the car to the hotel where we stayed before.

We waited here with other members of the inspection team. Everyone's luggage was packed and a bus would come to pick them up early the next morning.

Unlike last time, this time the members of the inspection team all brought large and small bags. It is not easy to make a trip, and the supplies here are so abundant that it is easy to buy a lot as you go along.

As for Mr. Ding, someone would send him to the plane the next day.

Everyone carefully avoided talking about him when chatting, especially the older brothers who had a good relationship with Mr. Ding before.

Dean Zhou is still the team leader this time. It seems that this incident has little impact on him.

He is fair and warm-hearted, and most employees have no problem with him. In this survey, almost no one said anything bad about him, and he has gained more freedom because of this.

The matter of Mr. Ding has come to an end. The specific details are kept confidential for the time being, and everyone must keep their mouths shut even after returning to China.

The next morning, when it was still dark, the bus arrived.

Everyone got on the bus with sleepy eyes, and the luggage took up a large part of the space.

The driver was used to this. While waiting under the car, he joked with a smile, "Every time we come to pick up a group, everyone buys things like crazy. Many of the things we don't use after returning home..."

One member laughed and said, "Even if you don't need it, you can still show it off..."

Everyone burst into laughter. Supplies were scarce, but people's hearts were available.

Qiu Huoming likes these scientific researchers. Compared with businessmen, their persistence is admirable.

"Let's take a photo together." Qiu Huoming suggested.

Everyone suddenly became excited and stood in front of the bus. The driver acted as a photographer.

The street lights nearby were shining, Qiu Huoming was standing next to Dean Zhou, and everyone's smiles were frozen.

After getting on the bus, everyone's interest was still high. One by one, they talked about what happened during their studies. Some people were serious about a technical issue and started arguing. The bus was very lively.

The argument finally stopped when they arrived at the airport.

It’s finally time to return home, and Qiu Huoming is feeling a bit excited.

This time he would still follow the main force, return to the capital first, and then take the train from the capital back to Guangzhou.

Those returning to China this time must also write a written report on their situation, and only after it is passed can other arrangements be made.

In the airport waiting hall, outside the huge glass window, the sky began to brighten, and the sun shone down in a moment. Some people walked to the glass window and looked curiously at the plane parked not far away.

Qiu Huoming bought two cups of coffee and gave one to Dean Zhou.

Dean Zhou has been here for more than a month, and he has finally gotten used to coffee. "Huo Ming, you're going to take the entrance exam when you go back this time, right? How's it going? Are you confident?"

Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "No problem, I think I can graduate directly..."

"It's not advisable to be too ambitious." Dean Zhou said seriously.

"I know. I will go to junior year first and take one step at a time..." Qiu Huoming looked well-behaved.

"Do you want to study abroad after graduation?" Dean Zhou looked at him and asked.

Qiu Huoming looked at the empty sky outside and thought about it. He originally thought that he would have a chance to visit MIT this time, but he did not expect that he would be directly arranged a scholar visit. There are still many places he wants to go, and he will find a chance to visit the places he did not have time to go this time.

If I could study abroad formally, I would have a lot more freedom.

"Let me think about it. I remember that I can apply to study abroad without waiting for graduation?" Qiu Huoming asked.

"Yes, there are too few places, you may not be able to get one, and the funds for public study abroad are not much, so everyone has to queue up." Dean Zhou said.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry..." Qiu Huoming took a sip of coffee, the bitter taste lingered in his mouth, and his brain became more alert.

"What do you feel about your time abroad?"

Dean Zhou asked.

"Foreign countries are very advanced and wealthy, and their thinking is more open than that at home..." Qiu Huoming responded.

"Maybe..." Dean Zhou thought for a moment and asked, "Don't want to go back?"

Qiu Huoming shook his head without hesitation, "Of course not. A son will never dislike his mother's ugliness. Although our country is in trouble now, there is no guarantee that it will become prosperous in the future... If I have the ability, of course I will stay in my hometown and do more things."

"Okay, good kid." Dean Zhou also took a sip of coffee and looked much more relaxed. "Hey, it's worth it. I guaranteed you."

He smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't let me down."

"This time's scholar visit?" Qiu Huoming asked.

"Otherwise, I fought for it for you. Seeing you are so proud, I'd better be frank with you. This time, this matter of yours took a lot of my effort. Fortunately, you are a good kid, so it was worth it..." After Dean Zhou finished speaking, he leaned back calmly.

Qiu Huoming glanced at him, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he turned to Dean Zhou with a smile, "Thank you."

"Thank you, you helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, this time would be over."

Dean Zhou glanced at Engineer Ding who was being watched by two people not far away, and then he retracted his gaze, "I'm afraid that Engineer Ding's position is now mine..."

"He is just too careless. He will suffer in the future after all this trouble." Qiu Huoming sighed.

"We should learn from this and as human beings, we should not forget our roots." After saying this, Dean Zhou felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

God knows how he got through the past month. He started worrying as soon as he woke up every day. Fortunately, the result was pretty good.

Dean Zhou pinched his arms and found that they had become thinner.

After a while, the radio began to broadcast boarding information, and the staff at the boarding gate not far away were already busy.

Qiu Huoming stood up with his backpack on his back, "Let's go."

In the hall, people began to gather one after another.

In the morning light, Qiu Huoming boarded the plane. This time he still sat by the window. Next to him was an unfamiliar passenger. In the back row was Dean Zhou. This time their seats were messed up. Engineer Ding and his friends were sitting across the front row. The three of them were sitting close together.

He glanced away and then looked away.

Engineer Ding looked unhappy, with a somewhat dull expression.

He was too lazy to find out what happened to him. As a group, they could do such a thing, and Engineer Ding didn't have a very good relationship with them.

After all, before departure, many large and small meetings were held, and the issue of falling behind was emphasized repeatedly.

He turned his head to look outside. Dean Zhou in the back row said angrily, "Everyone is sitting by the window. Huo Ming, you have a window, but I only have a wall here."

Qiu Huoming turned his head and saw that, as expected, Dean Zhou was stuck between two windows and had gained nothing.

"Hahahaha" everyone around laughed.

Dean Zhou himself couldn't help but be happy. They were finally going back to China and everyone was in a relaxed mood.

This time when we went abroad, everyone had a mission. Studying was not easy, and we had to put in more effort than back home. Next time we come, several of us will be visiting scholars.

Regardless of other things, everyone's English level has improved by leaps and bounds after this trip abroad.

At least when it comes to speaking, simple conversations are no problem.

Dean Zhou, who was sitting in the back row, glanced at a foreign flight attendant and asked for a blanket in English.

The plane finally taxied, and with the sound waves, the plane began to accelerate towards the sky. Qiu Huoming's ears lost their function for a moment. He swallowed his saliva, and then he could hear some sounds in his ears.

The plane rushed into the sky, crossed the clouds, and jumped into the blue sky...

At this time, sleepiness came over him. Qiu Huoming leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a moment.

When I woke up again, breakfast was already being served.

He rubbed his eyes and ordered a glass of milk and a sandwich. While eating, he flipped through the newspaper brought by the flight attendant.

This is the San Francisco Daily News.

As he watched, his hand paused.

A piece of news caught his eye.

[Gangster fight, a large-scale gangster fight broke out in our city...]

This happened the day before yesterday. Qiu Huoming looked at the photo of Capone on the cover and was stunned for a moment. He was actually dead...

Qiu Huoming felt a little chilly, this matter might not be simple.

He raised his head and glanced at the back of Mr. Ding's head in the front row.

The newspaper described the scene of the gunfight in detail, but did not mention the cause.

The image of Capone appeared in Qiu Huoming's mind. This man was unruly, but he kept his word and was a real man.

For a moment, Qiu Huoming's thoughts were in a mess.

The passenger next to me came over and said, "Sir, you have finished reading this newspaper. Can you exchange it with me?" He was holding another newspaper, which he had probably finished reading and was feeling a little bored.

"You can take it after you've finished reading it." Qiu Huoming was a little bored and handed him the newspaper.

The other party reached out to take it and exchanged his newspaper with him.

Qiu Huoming took it subconsciously. This was an even older newspaper, probably about a week old. No one knew where he got it from.

He flipped through it.

This was also the San Francisco Daily News, which reported some current affairs news. A small report at the bottom caught his attention.

【Apple launches new operating system...】

The news was very short and not given much space.

Qiu Huoming leaned back. At this time, the big shots were still small shrimps. They had already started, and the next few decades would be their stage.

He had a vague feeling that he was watching history happening before his eyes.

If they can do it... Qiu Huoming looked at the lines of words and thought that he could do it too.

Time waits for no one, we need to speed up.

He rubbed his temples. This trip abroad helped him a lot. Before, he was working behind closed doors. Now that he had seen the world with his own eyes, he had a deeper understanding...

As the most developed country in the world today, the United States almost represents technology itself.

If he has the chance, he would like to go to the Land of Cherry Blossoms again. Compared with Western countries, he is more afraid of the Land of Cherry Blossoms, which is also an Eastern country.

The tolerance and humility of the Sakura Country easily give people a good impression at first sight, but no one knows what it is really like.

He knew the history, and he couldn't help but be more vigilant towards them.
