the longest dream

Chapter 167

After a long international flight, the Qi family flew from Shanghai to New York, and then transferred from New York to Atlanta, the capital of Georgia.

There are only four states in the United States that have two or more top [-] universities in the country, and Georgia is one of them, especially famous for science and engineering.

Coupled with the favorable tax incentive policies here, Tianhong Group placed Tianhong Research Institute here.

If appropriate, this place will also be the location of Tianhong Heavy Industry's US headquarters.

This is also an important reason why Qi Tianhai came to the United States in person.

For such an important matter, if he didn't come in person, he wouldn't be relieved anyway.

However, after all, he was getting old and had traveled so long, Qi Tianhai went to rest with the old lady without even saying a few words when he arrived at the place where he was staying.

Or maybe it was because although the granddaughter was smiling, the alienation in her eyes made the old man feel heavy...

Qi Ping and Li Suzhi were much better. When they got home, they couldn't even look at the houses bought by the group here. They couldn't look away from their daughters.

"Why do you have long hair?"

Li Suzhi asked, stroking Qi Juan's long hair that reached her shoulders.

Qi Juan said with a smile: "It looks gentler this way."

They are still those bright and charming eyes, and their eyes are still sincere and kind, but for some reason, Qi Ping and his wife always feel that there is a hint of loneliness in their daughter's eyes.

On the other hand, Liu Shanshan made Qi Ping laugh and said, "Shanshan, is the food in America delicious?"

With a scream, Liu Shanshan collapsed on the sofa and refused to open her eyes, ready to fend for herself.

Qi Juan took off her khaki-colored green trench coat. Inside was a thick gray-red checked shirt, a white T-shirt, a pair of light blue jeans and white sneakers.

She really lost a lot of weight...

Li Suzhi couldn't bear to leave her daughter. It was the first time she had been separated from Qi Juan for such a long time since she was a child.

For this daughter, she and Qiping didn't even have a second child to fight for a son.

In a family like the Qi family, it is conceivable how deep their love for their daughter can be if they can achieve this step.

Seeing Qi Juan's state, she regretted letting her go abroad at the moment.

"When did you and Shanshan come here?"

Li Suzhi asked with a warm smile.

Qi Juan stretched her waist and said: "I just arrived yesterday afternoon, and I didn't dare to go anywhere. This is the city with the largest number of black people in the United States. You can stroll around the city center during the day, but don't go out at night. Although It’s a white community here, so it’s much safer, but there are accidents at night, and I miss my motherland.”

Liu Shanshan smiled wickedly on the opposite sofa: "I think they are people who miss their motherland!"

Qi Juan didn't shy away from it at all, and asked Qi Ping, "Dad, how about the records of Zhang Qing's company? I asked him in the email, and he said it was okay, not bad."

Qi Ping glanced upstairs subconsciously, then coughed dryly, and said: "That album is now a big deal. A group of music critics praised this album as an epoch-making album in the mainland music scene, and it sold like crazy. Zhang Qing is also bold, The dealer refused to sell even [-] copies, so he dared to fill [-] million boxes. He used the money he earned from making movies to build warehouses everywhere, and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to advertise on CCTV. He really won the bet. Plus the peripherals, those gorgeous pictorials, etc., he can earn tens of millions. Xiao Zhao is still planning to continue investing these tens of millions. Seeing that a company with assets exceeding [-] million is about to start, how long will it be? Dreaming Same."

Qi Juan smiled very quietly, nodded and said: "I knew it, he will definitely do it."

For some reason, the atmosphere always gives people a somewhat sad feeling.

Li Suzhi didn't like it, so she took out an envelope from her bag, handed it to Qi Juan and said, "Look at it quickly! You are so promising, you are mature before you come out, you are so easy to let people down. Look at Zhang Qing, how chic."

Qi Juan took the envelope, felt the thickness and weight inside, suppressed bad guesses, opened it with a smile, and burst out laughing.

In the first one, Zhang Qing made a cool look, and Li Chudong, who was practicing Ha Toad Kungfu, was singled out!

She didn't rush to open the second photo, but gently touched Zhang Qing's face in the photo with her fingers...

Her expression didn't change, but Liu Shanshan, who was sitting beside her, became red-eyed when she saw her like this.

Flipping through one by one, Qi Juan's big bright eyes blinked faster, but the photos became slower and slower. In the end, she simply put them away and said with a smile: "I'll look at them when I have time." Bar."

Liu Shanshan suddenly buried her head on Qi Juan's lap, sobbing.

Qi Juan seemed to be relieved a lot instead, she pushed her and laughed and said: "If you miss home, you will miss home, don't rely on me." He also joked: "He is not so ugly, is he?"

Qi Ping looked at his daughter like this with a blank expression on his face, but his heart hurt as if it was torn apart.

He originally thought that his daughter was different, generous, humorous, and well-organized. Even if she fell in love or lost love, she would not be trapped by love. Like those ordinary girls, they would cry, make trouble, and hang themselves after encountering setbacks.

Qi Juan didn't make trouble, and she didn't even cry much.

But she kept all these in her heart, which made her lose so many smiles on her face.

Li Suzhi took the girl's hand, her eyes were faintly red and said: "If Mom and Dad don't support you, if they stop you, they won't bring photos, and they won't care about him, even protect his fellow villager.

Maybe once, I was not optimistic about you, and I hope that after a relationship, you can grow up faster than your peers.

But now, our views have changed. Zhang Qing is very mature and growing up very fast. He may not be unable to take care of you and protect you.

But Juanzi, your future is not decided in our hands, but in your own hands.

You still have a long way to go, and you have just begun.

The setbacks encountered are not setbacks at all.

There will be more and bigger problems in the future. Whether it can withstand the temptation and the test is unknown.

If you can, then who can really stop you?
You have to be strong and brave, you can look at the back of the last photo, there are words written by Zhang Qing.

I still say that, as far as he is concerned, he is doing very well, is also very upright, and is making rapid progress. I am optimistic about him.

But now it seems that you are far behind.

Disappointing! "

Liu Shanshan complained from the side: "Aunt Li, Juanzi's grades are very good. You can see that she has lost so much weight and stayed up all night writing her thesis. The professor agreed to help her publish it in AER, which is "American Economics." Review, this is the top economics journal. There are only a few native American students who can publish articles on it in their freshman year..."

After hearing this, Qi Ping and his wife were immediately surprised and proud. It turned out to be like this!

They naturally didn't know that these words were actually arranged by Qi Juan for Liu Shanshan to find an opportunity to say them, so as not to worry them too much.

Of course, the thesis is true, but I worked so hard because after I came to the United States, my sleep became much less...

Qi Juan ignored the movement on the side, she just turned over a stack of photos, saw the back of the last one, and saw that it read:

Love is separated by mountains and seas, and both mountains and seas can be leveled! !
Looking at this line of sharp and confident words, Qi Juan smiled.

A smile blooms.

……

"Sister Ouyang, how did you find Hua Qing?"

Zhang Qing had just finished the exam, and was about to follow Jin Xing and Li Chudong to the Academy of Fine Arts, because the two of them made it clear that Ouyang Wanqing would find him for the body sketching exam of the Academy of Fine Arts today.

Ouyang Wanqing wore sunglasses and said, "Qingzi, there are some things that you have to be free?"

Zhang Qing said: "I just finished the exam..." Then he said to Jin Xing and Li Chudong: "This is my sister. Why don't you go first, and I'll go find you when I'm done."

After the two greeted each other politely, they left with regrets on their faces.

As soon as they left, Ouyang Wanqing took Zhang Qing's arm and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, there's something important to do today!"

Zhang Qing smiled as he walked: "Sister Ouyang, how do you know I'm taking the exam here? Someone told you?"

Ouyang Wanqing smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you! But don't rush to talk about it, we'll talk about it later."

Zhang Qing smiled and said: "Okay. Actually, there is nothing to say, but since they have even alarmed you, I'll go and have a look. By the way, Miss Ouyang, don't buy any more clothes and shoes, you won't be able to fit them at home. It’s gone. Xiaolan can’t wear seven clothes in a week now. And those bags, how old is she..."

Ouyang Wanqing didn't give face, and said fiercely: "Don't worry about it! You know how old Xiaolan is this year, and she has become a big girl. You are a genius and don't understand many things in it! Parents are not here, I happen to be fine, how much?" See what's wrong?"

Zhang Qing had no choice but to say: "I'm afraid that she will develop bad habits, or she is still young, if she develops an arrogant and extravagant temperament, it will be bad."

Ouyang Wanqing smiled and said: "It's hard for you, a brother, to think of these things. Don't worry, I still don't know? Xiaolan has a really good personality, refreshing and generous, and sensible. I sent her clothes last time. She didn't touch any of those famous bags. Most of the clothes are new, that's right! Girls don't need to wear them, but she must have them. This way, she will take all these things lightly. She won't feel inferior because she doesn't have famous brands, I don’t think I’m as good as a human being. I’m not like those ignorant people who think that wearing a famous brand makes them a master and look down on country people.”

Zhang Qing had a big head and said, "So complicated?"

Ouyang Wanqing smiled and said, "What do you think? If you don't believe me, ask the girls from the Qi family, and girls from wealthy families, when did they lack these in their closets?"

Zhang Qing laughed, and said, "I think we should read more books. If you read the book thoroughly, you will naturally understand."

Ouyang Wanqing said angrily: "It's easy to say, how many people in this world can read the book thoroughly? You..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a suspicious voice behind him: "Zhang Qing?"

The two stopped, turned around, and Zhang Qing saw Qiao Yue and the counselor Bai Qi standing by the side of the road.

Zhang Qing hurriedly stood upright, and said to Bai Qi: "Hello, Teacher Bai." Then he introduced: "This is my sister, Ouyang Wanqing."

Ouyang Wanqing let go of her hand generously, and said with a smile: "Hello, teacher, I'm Qingzi... Zhang Qing's god-sister, come to talk to him about something."

Looking at Qiao Yue who was looking at her carefully, she nodded and smiled.

Bai Qi smiled, and said to Zhang Qing: "Just finished the exam?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "Well, I'll take another two exams next week, and it's over. Teacher Bai, I've almost finished writing my essay on society. Can I ask my classmates to hand it in? I may have to leave school a few days earlier."

Bai Qidao: "Busy?"

Zhang Qing smiled and said, "I'm a little busy."

Bai Qi smiled and said: "In principle, it is not allowed, but considering your special situation, I agree. However, you must pay attention to safety."

Zhang Qing hurriedly replied: "Definitely."

Then his eyes fell on Qiao Yue's face, and he said amusedly, "What did you call me for? Are you dumb again now?"

Ouyang Wanqing was a little surprised to see Zhang Qing talking to such an extravagant girl with the tone she would speak to a buddy.

Qiao Yue snorted, and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that what you asked me to do has been done, and I will go to the interview at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, so don't be late!"

Zhang Qing's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Really? Thank you, thank you!"

Qiao Yue sneered and said, "Thank you! You won't even borrow your place for a party."

"Borrow, definitely borrow! Tomorrow night, I will have people clean up the No. [-] courtyard. Everything for eating, drinking and entertainment is ready, and it is up to you to build!"

Zhang Qing is extremely generous.

Seeing him so happy, Qiao Yue felt a little sour in her heart, but she was infected by it after all. After a "puchi" smile, she said, "Virtue!"

……

PS: Some book friends are extremely disgusted with Li Suzhi. They feel that too green tea is too disgusting. They do everything with a purpose. They are good to Zhang Qing, and most of them are for taking advantage of them.In fact, they feel right, of course they have a purpose, Li Suzhi is not a saint, how could she be selfless to an irrelevant person.But all her goals are for her own daughter. I think this should not be called green tea.

In the world of adults, those who can use such well-intentioned means to achieve their goals should be regarded as very principled intellectuals.As far as the people I meet and see in my life and workplace, such people are all very elegant.Sometimes the perspective of book friends surprises me...
