Li He brought He Long home. When they were at the door, he said, "Don't tell your sister, in case she thinks too much."
If He Fang knew about this, she would definitely nag at him.
"Brother-in-law, we're thinking the same thing." He Long was relieved to hear Li He call him brother-in-law so willingly. Originally, he wanted to ask Li He not to say it, but now that Li He took the initiative to say it, how could he not agree? He was especially afraid of his sister.
The old lady had prepared lunch and was shaking the basket to coax the child to take a nap. She was even singing, "Pull the big saw, pull the big saw, Grandpa is singing a big opera at the door. Pick up the girl, call my son-in-law, and my grandson is going too … "
"Auntie, have you eaten?"
The old lady said, "I've eaten. You didn't even tell me when you left. The rice is still warm in the pot. Take it out and have a few bites. "
Li He wanted to go to the kitchen to get some food and let He Long rest.
Old Madam reprimanded He Long, "You're injured, why are you still wandering around? “
He Long said, "Got it."
The flowers in the courtyard bloomed, the birds flew, the insects chirped, and the lotus flowers woke up. Everything was alive.
Even the vegetable garden was full of vitality. The cucumbers bloomed wherever they wanted, and the loofah vines climbed wherever they wanted.
Li He was very happy. They were all free, they could do whatever they wanted.
The sky was blue, wide and broad.
Just as he was about to water the tomatoes, Old Man Zhang called him at the door to answer the phone.
He was curious about who was calling. Ever since the advent of mobile phones, very few people would call the grocery store at the entrance.
He picked up the phone. To his surprise, it was Gao Aiguo.
Gao Aiguo said over the phone, "I need to trouble you with something."
Li He smiled and said, "If there's any trouble between us, just say it. Don't pretend to be polite."
Gao Aiguo said solemnly, "Go and see Wu Bo. I heard that he's not doing too well. I'm out of town and can't go back. Go and take a look for me. "
"Wu Bo?" Li He asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Wu Bo was also a classmate. His relationship with him was average, but he was on good terms with Gao Aiguo.
Gao Aiguo said, "It's not like you don't know him. He's a straightforward person. How could he hold it in?
"Okay. I'll go take a look. Give me the address. " Li He asked Old Man Zhang for a pen and a slip of paper to write down the address. He casually said a few things about the current situation before hanging up.
After going home and exchanging a few words, he drove the van to Wu Bo's residence.
Wu Bo lived in a shantytown, which was basically a gathering place for foreigners. It was a small house of seven or eight square meters.
He didn't expect Li He to come back. He was a little surprised and said, "Hey, old classmate, come in and have a seat."
Suddenly, he couldn't find a stool, so he patted the head of the bed and asked Li He to sit on it.
Li He looked at his messy hair and swollen face. He didn't look as high-spirited as before. He looked at the small house. It was pitifully small. There was an old desk by the window and an old wooden bed in the corner.
Other than the desk and the bed, there was only a bag in the corner. It was probably all his belongings.
Wu Bo took the opportunity to get under the blanket and said, "Sorry, sorry. It's too cold."
He even rolled the blanket tighter.
Li He touched his forehead. It was cold. He asked, "Do you have a cold?"
He sat on the bed and felt something under his butt. He reached out and touched it. It was all books.
He was ashamed that he hadn't read a book in peace for a long time.
Wu Bo smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just sweating."
Li He lifted the blanket and said, "Let's go to the hospital. Don't drag it out. "
Wu Bo pulled the blanket over and said, "No need, no need. I'm really fine."
"Hurry up. It wasn't easy for me to come to your place. Don't make me do it." Li He couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. How could the teenager who used to joke about riding a donkey to school be like this?
Wu Bo said, "Do you have a cigarette? Give me one."
Li He lit the cigarette for him and said, "You're still the same. It's time to change."
It seemed like everyone in this world had changed except for Wu Bo. He was still as straightforward as ever. He looked at Wu Bo and blew out a ring of smoke. He was immersed in his own emotions. It was difficult to pull Wu Bo back to reality.
Wu Bo said, "I just can't stand them. I have to say it. I can't not say it."
"Let's go. To the hospital. " Li He had been in a research unit before and naturally knew the problem. How could a straightforward person like Wu Bo stay? Most of them refused to accept the rules of survival and had their own standards.
Wu Bo wasn't married. His parents were far away at the border. He was alone in the capital with nothing. He only had a brain full of problems that didn't belong to him.
Li He couldn't deny that sometimes he couldn't be like Wu Bo. Life was so difficult, so why not compromise a little? In the unit, experience was a treasure. A diploma was indispensable, ability was a reference, and relationships were the most important.
Wu Bo was still hesitating, but Li He dragged him out of bed and sent him to the car to the hospital.
At the hospital, Li He let Wu Bo rest while he busily queued up for registration and payment.
He found a seat in the corridor and Li He accompanied him as he was hooked up to an IV drip.
Wu Bo said apologetically, "Sorry to trouble you."
Li He said, "We're friends. There's no point in talking about this." “
Wu Bo didn't say anything else. He forced his eyes to lean against the wall.
Li He went to the door and smoked two cigarettes. After some thought, he drove to the mall and helped Wu Bo buy a few sets of clothes.
When he returned, the IV drip had been hooked up. He said, "Let's go to the bathhouse to take a bath and then go eat."
This time, Wu Bo didn't hesitate anymore. He stood up and followed Li He to the bathhouse.
There was no one in the bathhouse at noon. Besides, there were not many people bathing in this season. There were only the two of them in the big pool.
Wu Bo placed his hand on the edge of the pool and lit a cigarette. "Old classmate, I want to go abroad."
Li He blew out a smoke ring and sighed. "Why do you have this idea?"
"The world is so big. I want to see if there's a place that can accommodate me."
"You know I'm doing business. Why don't you do business with me?" Li He remembered that Wu Bo had indeed gone abroad later. It was said that he was in charge of a physics research institute. However, because the two of them didn't have much interaction in school, they didn't keep in touch much after graduation.
From this, it could be seen that Wu Bo's achievements in scientific research were much greater than his.
Wu Bo shook his head and said, "How can a person like me do business? No way, no way."
Li He said, "You're much smarter than me. Really, old classmate, I hope you can stay and help me. You're earning your own money. You can just start your own research institute. Why are you so pessimistic? "
Wu Bo shook his head and said, "You're even more amateurish than I am. Whether it's the tandem accelerator physics laboratory or the surface physics laboratory, they're all built with money. There are only a few of them in the country. Besides, a lot of the equipment can't even be bought with money. You're starting to dream."
Li He smiled and said, "Anyway, you don't have a place to stay now. I have a printing factory. If you don't mind, you can settle down there first. You can make a living there. Let's talk about going abroad in the future, okay? "
Wu Bo was a little disheartened now. Talking too much would be counterproductive, so it was better to let him settle down first.
He felt that Wu Bo should be able to get along well with him. They were both honest and practical people. If they got together, they might be able to have a gay relationship.
"Thank you." Wu Bo agreed readily. The first problem was to fill his stomach first.
Li He got him to change into new clothes. After they left the bathhouse, they didn't eat nearby. Instead, they drove back to get Wu Bo's luggage.
"Do you want to call the landlord?"
Wu Bo said, "I pay the rent in advance. I just need to leave a note. "
He packed up and went straight to the printing factory to have a free meal.
When he arrived at the printing factory, Wu Bo was shocked by the grandeur. He had thought that it was just a small workshop. He didn't expect it to be such a big factory.
Xiang Dong and Wu Bo shook hands without Li He introducing them to each other.
Xiang Dong said, "They're all from the Academy of Sciences. You'll probably look familiar, but I don't know your names. My surname is Fang. Xiang Dong, just call me Old Fang. "
"Wu Bo, Sanshuibo."
Li He briefly explained the situation and said with a smile, "Help me arrange a place to stay."
Xiang Dong said excitedly, "That's great. We've been working on that online printer recently, and we've been worrying about where to find an expert in machinery. Speak of the devil, and he'll appear."
Wu Bo said modestly, "I'm not an expert in machinery. I just know a little. I'm mainly interested in the magnetosphere."
Li He said, "Don't be so pretentious. I'm here to have a meal. Can we talk after we eat?"
Yang Fugui said, "Brother Li, it's okay, it's okay."
Li He was just about to pat her head when he suddenly remembered that she was a young lady. His hand paused and he could only give up.
When they entered a private room in the cafeteria, they saw a few people sitting inside. Xiang Dong introduced them one by one. They were all experts from the research institute.
Wu Bo didn't need to introduce himself. The academic circle was only so big, and everyone seemed to have heard of each other. Even if they hadn't met each other before, they would at least have seen each other's names in the journals. Therefore, they weren't just flattering each other when they said that they had heard of each other.
Xiang Dong handed the menu to Wu Bo and said, "Brother, this is your first time here. You can order what you want."
However, Wu Bo refused to order, so Xiang Dong arranged for the cafeteria to serve his specialty dishes.
Before the dishes were served, the alcohol was served. Li He wanted to help Wu Bo pour the alcohol, but Wu Bo took it himself and said, "It's not a big deal, but I can't hold it. Just one glass."
It was Xiang Dong and the others' first time drinking with him, so they didn't know how good he was at drinking. After drinking for a while, they realized that Wu Bo was a very good drinker. When others toasted him, he didn't reject them and drank until the bottom of his glass was empty. He even clinked glasses with others and became more talkative. He said, "I heard you guys talk about the code printing machine. I understand what you mean. It's probably the same principle as a typewriter. It's pressurized by an air pump."
Xiang Dong said happily, "Yes, it's the same principle. The code printing machine is currently monopolized by developed countries like America, Germany, Britain, and Japan. No domestic manufacturer can make it. It's imported from abroad. Not only is it expensive, but it's also a scam. One costs about 300,000 yuan, and people don't care if they buy it or not. As you can see, our factory's main business is printing and packaging. This product is definitely needed. In order to make it, we're going to develop it ourselves and make it ourselves. Once it's developed, not only can we use it ourselves, but we can also give it to our peers. It's killing two birds with one stone. "
Wu Bo deliberated for a moment and said, "Let me spout some nonsense. In my opinion, the structure should be very simple. The air pump drives the pressure of the ink path. It can produce ink pressure through the air pressure and spray ink droplets through the spray chamber. The difficult part is how to do it well. How to split the ink line into ink droplets of the same frequency, size, and distance. "
Xiang Dong stood up and raised his glass. "Brother Wu, I'll be counting on you in the future. I'll give you a toast first. "
Wu Bo also raised his glass and drained it in one gulp.
Li He didn't interrupt from the beginning to the end because he really didn't know how to do it.
After drinking, Yang Fugui led them to a place to stay and helped them get some toiletries. He said to Wu Bo, "Brother Wu, I'll bring you breakfast. You can go to the cafeteria by yourself."
Wu Bo smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you. You're welcome. I'll go to the cafeteria by myself in the future."
He was extremely satisfied with this single room dormitory. It was more than a hundred times better than his previous house.
Yang Fugui said, "I'm staying downstairs. Just call me if you need anything."
Before Li He left, he left him 1,000 yuan and said, "Take it. Consider it a loan."
Wu Bo said, "How can I do that? It's so much. How can I pay you back?"
Li He said, "Didn't you hear Old Fang say that the salary here is 3,200 yuan? Why can't you pay me back?"
Wu Bo panicked and said, "Old classmate, it's one thing for you to help me, but you're making me anxious."
Li He said, "You know the people at the table today. Their salaries are even higher than yours. Some of them work part-time and earn more than 4,000 yuan a month. How am I taking care of you? If you don't believe me, you can ask them yourself. "
Under his insistence, the salaries of the researchers at the printing factory were basically the highest in the country. He wasn't stingy in this regard. Even if he had to spend a lot of money to buy a horse's bones, it would still be good.
Money might not be able to keep people, but money definitely wouldn't be able to keep people. He knew this very well.
Moreover, he had come up with a welfare plan. After three years, there would be a bonus plan. In any case, he didn't lack money.
Wu Bo didn't believe him and said, "You're not lying to me?"
"You won't be staying here for a day or two. You'll know when you're familiar with this place. Take this money first. Your hometown hasn't sent any money in a long time, right? " Li He still put the money on the table. As long as one came from the countryside, it was not easy. "Also, didn't you hear him say that the printer is selling for two to three hundred thousand yuan per unit? Your salary is nothing compared to that." Li He said.
Wu Bo said solemnly, "Thank you, old classmate."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm leaving. Call me if you need anything. "Li He waved his hand and walked out of the house, heading to Xiang's office.
After entering the office, he sat down at the desk opposite Xiang. Xiang poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Your classmate is really amazing. It's rare to meet such a smart person. Sigh, what a pity. "
Li He smiled and said, "He's a little stubborn. You'll have to bear with him more in the future."
Xiang said, "I should be the one thanking you. Whenever I need someone, you'll send that person to me."
Li He asked, "How's your side doing recently? There aren't any difficulties, right? "
Xiang said, "There are difficulties, but the main problem is the foreign exchange. As you know, a lot of equipment needs to be imported. Our quota is far from enough. I want to set up a packaging machinery factory so that I'll have a place to hire people. Otherwise, if we just rely on a printing factory, there won't be a place for them to use. "
Li He said, "I'll take care of the foreign exchange. I'll arrange for someone to contact you. Continue with the recruitment. If you don't need them, you can recommend them to me. I'll make arrangements for them. "
"Okay." Xiang nodded. He knew that Li He had more than one business. He would only occasionally help Li He calculate how much money he had. No matter how many times he did it, he couldn't be sure. There was probably no one in the country who was richer than him.
Li He finished his cup of tea and went to the toilet. He washed his face and drove home.
When he got home, He Fang naturally complained. She couldn't be at ease drinking and driving.
Li He said, "I didn't drink much."
He briefly told her about Wu Bo's situation, feeling a lot of emotions.
He Fang slid down from his body and caressed his chest. "He's really a good person."
"You've never stepped over me like this before!" Li He couldn't help but feel jealous. There wasn't a single person who could be praised as a good person by He Fang.
"You're a good person too. It's just that people like you are sometimes bad. You don't need a script to lie. A good person like Wu Bo would never do anything bad in his life, nor would he lie. "He Fang suddenly said," I'm really feeling bad for Zhao Qing. "
"Feeling bad for Zhao Qing?"
He Fang said, "Don't you know that Wu Bo likes Zhao Qing?"
"How would I know?" Li He really didn't know.
"But it's Wu Bo's own fault. It's not Zhao Qing's fault."
Li He noticed that there were already some crow's feet on her forehead. Her face was a little haggard. His heart ached as he said, "You don't have to work so hard. Just do what you need. If you really can't do it, you can stay at home. It's not like I can't support you."
He Fang snorted and laughed. "Then wouldn't I be a pig?"
Li He's heart skipped a beat. He immediately flipped over and pressed on top of her. Neither of their organs could leave each other's.
Yu Dehua and Shen Daoru had come together this time. Naturally, Wu Shuping was with them.
