Chapter 178 086: Public Welfare and Open Source

When he looked up, the man in a high-end business suit was dressed in dust, looking down at the two of them with a smile. Xu Lingling let go of Chen Qin and rushed up to hug his waist. Old Xu walked into the yard with the two children: "Hurry up, kid Chen, hurry up and put away your schoolbag, let's go to a big hotel for dinner tonight!"

The Spring Festival is still more than half a month away, it seems that Lao Xu is on a long vacation this time.

When Chen Qin went upstairs, he looked back through the window and saw that the Xu family father and daughter were not going back to put their schoolbags, but were talking face to face in the yard.

When I got home, my parents also changed into formal clothes, and also changed Chen Qin into a new set of clothes bought a few days ago.

After going out, a large group of people were watching curiously. When Grandma Xu went out, they pointed at Old Xu who was blocking the taxi by the side of the road: "Grandma Xu, is this your son?"

"This is my son, it's him! He just came back from Europe!"

Lao Xu has been so busy recently that he entrusted the Facebook matter to the company's lawyers, and then went on to do other business; Grandma Xu laughed so hard that she lost her eyes, but unfortunately she didn't have a very good meal afterwards. Cozy.

It's not because of anything else, but meeting acquaintances... The two families went to the commercial street, only to find out that Lao Xu had just returned and hadn't made an appointment yet.

But Lao Xu has been abroad for a year, and his whole temperament is a little different.

While calling Xu Lingling's little uncle on the phone, he looked around and chose the largest Longshan Hotel, and then walked in with his family.

It turned out that there was a wedding in the main hall. On the stage, an old man was wearing a Chinese tunic suit with a red flower pinned to his chest. He was speaking, and the two newlyweds were listening respectfully. The atmosphere was very lively, and the business of the hotel was booming.

Lao Xu asked the waiter, and the waiter said that it was full today; Lao Xu was planning to change places, but the old gentleman on the stage saw this, suddenly ended his speech in a hurry, walked off the stage quickly, and chased him to the door : "Oh, isn't this Xiao Xu?"

The two subordinates followed, and they didn't know the situation yet, but the old gentleman recognized him very accurately. He was the Principal Lu from Telecom.

I haven't met Xu Lingling, so I probably don't know him... But the director of the printing factory is his student, and he met Lao Xu and Lao Chen when he came here.

Although it was just a one-sided relationship, but this time I saw it from such a distance, I recognized Lao Xu on the spot, came up and grabbed Lao Xu for a meal, and heard that Lao Xu came here for dinner, but there was no private room, and he was going elsewhere go.

He hurriedly said that it was okay, but he insisted on using his face to make a room in Longshan Hotel. Old Xu was too embarrassed to refuse him, and asked him to go up and chat with him.

"Mr. Xu, I've seen you for a long time! The last time we met, we were still in the printing factory, so I said that this guy looks like he can make a big deal, haha..."

"Where where..."

"When I return to China this time, do I want to return to my hometown with a good clothes, or do I have business to discuss?"

"It's only been a year, and the company still has a lot of things to do!"

"I heard that your Santiago is engaged in digital music recently, and what kind of investment is it, this is skyrocketing!"

"This is an internal achievement of the group, and I'm just a part-time worker!"

"Hey, just to chat! Mr. Xu, I heard that you are engaged in investment. Do you mean to invest in our hometown? We have many good projects in Longshan now, such as real estate, entertainment, tourism, etc. There are many, the state strongly supports them, foreigners rush to grab them, and they can make a lot of money!..."

"Forget it! We appreciate your kindness, Principal Lu, but our group is mainly engaged in Internet projects!"

The old gentleman looked kind and well-informed about international affairs. He chatted with Mr. Xu at the door of the box for a long time, followed by a few men in suits and leather shoes who laughed with him. Of course, the old gentleman did not recognize the scene.

Xu Lingling started ordering food by herself, and after finishing ordering, Lao Chen went out with the menu. The old gentleman hurriedly said modestly that he didn't bother you, right?
Old Xu didn't mind making friends with him, so he dragged him in together. The old gentleman gave in symbolically, and sent back the subordinates who followed him, and then came in to eat by himself...

Afterwards, we didn’t talk about economic investment and other things. It happened that Xu Lingling’s little uncle also came. Principal Lu said good things and kept chatting with relatives and friends at the dinner table. The atmosphere at the dinner table began to become lively. Children cannot be avoided, and the topic soon fell on the little star Xu Lingling...

I don't know where to start. Principal Lu is in the system, so he knows about it, but people don't want to spread it, even Xu Lingling's uncle doesn't know about it.

So he just asked Xiao Xu how old he was normally?What grade are you in?
Xu Lingling was in a high position and ignored him.

Still sitting on the chair, hiding his head behind Chen Qin, Chen Qin looked at the two innocently.

Principal Lu was a little embarrassed, and Lao Xu smiled and said to him: "This kid has been like this since he was a child, and he is closer to Xiaoqin, not even a father like me."

The adults all laughed, and Principal Lu nodded with a smile: "It's good for children to have brothers and sisters. Now that family planning is implemented, many children have no playmates when they were young. Although they don't have to compete with brothers and sisters for food like we did back then, But it’s good to have a companion!”

But Lao Xu said: "Xiaoqin is not her brother, they are sons of Lao Chen's family."

Principal Lu seemed a little unresponsive: "Oh, I thought it was your brother's son, sorry, sorry..."

"It's nothing. I, as a father, went out to do business by myself. Instead, I felt sorry for her. I don't ask her for anything now. It's enough to grow up happily and healthily."

Lou Xuemei smiled and nodded her head, but Uncle Xu Lingling didn't know about the recent online songs, so she lowered her head in shame during the banquet: "Brother, I'm sorry..."

"Hey, it's okay to say everything. This girl has been smart since she was a child. She used to be No.1 in her class. How many exams did she take this semester?"

Xu Lingling replied calmly: "No. 15."

"You see, she's very upright, she doesn't feel anything about it herself, so let's not worry about it."

Uncle Xu Lingling felt the same, so he laughed along with the others, and patted Xu Lingling's head through Xu Lingling's aunt.

But Lao Xu didn't neglect the guests, and said to Principal Lu: "It's really not easy for Xiaoqin. He used to follow Lingling and listen to her in everything, but now his grades are very good. He has been a teacher since the fourth grade. No. [-] in the school, maybe he will be a little genius in the future..."

Principal Lu felt that there was some implication in these words, and felt that something was wrong, so he could only echo a few words dryly: "That's pretty good, some children just get older, but their studies have improved."

Old Xu didn't think there was a problem at all: "I heard that Xiaoqin is still learning English well, which is also a good thing. Now English is becoming more and more important. To do big business, you must speak English!"

Lou Xuemei also urged happily: "Xiao Chen, speak a few words of English to Uncle Lu and your Uncle Xu, come on!"

Xiao Chen blushed, usually cheerful and mischievous, but today he couldn't speak a word of foreign language.

Xu Lingling laughed out loud.

Then he whispered something in Chen Qin's ear. The adults took it for granted and said with a smile that the two children had a good relationship on weekdays. Principal Lu looked at the three families suspiciously, feeling that he couldn't understand it. How the rich play...

After a while, when Lao Chen came back from ordering food, Principal Lu had already changed the topic and started chatting with Lao Xu about the economy in a low voice. Although he was somewhat reluctant to let go because of the presence of outsiders, the atmosphere during the dinner was quite pleasant.

And Lao Chen is not sleepy when he hears that he is talking about the economy.

He joined in immediately: "Old Xu, I saw reports on the Internet saying that your company is investing recently..."

Principal Lu is also very concerned about this: "The Internet is really hot, and there are many projects in our country."

"It's not a small business in China." Lao Chen gestured before he could sit still, "San Diego is not investing in China, but investing internationally, and it's all tens of millions of people there. Then what kind of American Redstone, there is nothing to do with them..."

Old Chen spoke eloquently, and was as excited as if this Santiago belonged to him.

Old Xu patiently explained to him the wrong reports that only appeared in the third-rate tabloids, but after hearing this, Principal Lu's eyes became serious: "It's also good to invest internationally, but I heard reports that you are mainly investing in some Internet charity. project……"

"You mean Facebook? That public welfare project is actually an oolong, and it's quite interesting to talk about..." Old Xu laughed happily, because there was no confidentiality requirement, and he didn't mind using this story as a wine table discussion.

But what Principal Lu said was not about this: "No, it's not public welfare. I read the news before, saying that what you are investing in... Although it is not public welfare, it seems to be of the same nature, that is, it is not profitable at all. kind……"

"You mean open source?"

Principal Lu thought about his words: "Yes, I see that you are investing in open source. I can't figure it out. We do business and investment. After all, we want to make money. There is really no need to hide in the country by ourselves, but investing is to make money. Make money? Your group has not been around for a long time, what future does this open source have? Let me tell you, why not come to our hometown to make some real things..."
