Chapter 242 Settled

Carol took Zheng Jiayi and Wu Xinyang to dine in a local hotel chain in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley.

Carol ordered steak, Zheng Jiayi ordered chicken, and Wu Xinyang wanted salmon.

This is Wu Xinyang’s first meal in the United States. Compared with the Western restaurants in China, it is not as delicate as it looks casual and natural, and the portions of the dishes look larger.

The table etiquette that I was a little worried about was really not a problem at this time. The black girl Carol directly picked up the bread before the meal with her hands, and ate it with her left hand and her right hand, which was very casual.

As for the body to be upright, don’t put your elbows on the table, and the distance between the body and the dining table... In fact, it doesn’t matter. There is no difference between eating in a small restaurant on the roadside in China. How can there be so many things to pay attention to?

One thing is true. The restaurant here is a little quieter, but the so-called voice of everyone speaking is very low, which is also nonsense. No one deliberately speaks with his voice, and there are more than one person who answers the phone call next to the dining table.

The reason why the overall quiet looks really irrelevant is because the table is small.

The restaurant where they eat can only accommodate four people, whether it is square or round table, most of which only sit two people, and they are all next to each other. Who will still be whispering?

But if I tried a round table with at least ten people in a domestic hotel restaurant, it would probably be much quieter, and maybe it would be even more noisy.

But Wu Xinyang still felt a little uncomfortable, mainly from front, back, left and right, all kinds of foreigners, and all they heard were English, which made her feel a little lonely.

Carol had a lot of appetite but didn't talk much, and couldn't talk much. After signing the collection form, he gave them a business card, "You can rest in the hotel in the afternoon or go out for a walk. If you have any questions, call me anytime. At 6:00 pm, I will pick you up to Mr. Feng's house for dinner."

"Thank you,"

But the two decided to catch the time difference in the hotel, especially Wu Xinyang, probably because he was too excited, maybe because he finally realized his wish since childhood. From getting off the plane to now, he felt dizzy.

But I can't sleep.

She simply sat by the window, looking at the swimming pool, a rare facility in the hotel backyard in the hotel, looking at the surroundings that can be said to be low and sparse buildings, looking at the sparsely populated streets at this time, looking at the rows of palm trees, and looking at the continuous green mountains in the distance...

"To be honest, if it weren't for the company parks I saw on the road, I wouldn't have felt like this was the World High-Tech Center,"

Zheng Jiayi couldn't sleep too, leaning against the head of the bed to watch TV, "Do you know what I felt when I first came? I felt like I had walked into an American-style film and television shooting base, which was still very simple."

Wu Xinyang thought about it and laughed, "It really looks a bit like it."

"But if you look closely, you will feel that this place is really good. Look at these greenery and these houses, it seems that every house has green space, flowers and big trees. If you look at these supporting facilities..., it will definitely be very comfortable to live here,"

"The main thing is that there are few people," Zheng Jiayi, who has been here once, has some research on these. "San Jose, the center of Silicon Valley, has a population of more than San Francisco and is the third largest city in California, but do you know how many people there are? It's less than 1 million now,"

"And its area is close to 3500 square kilometers,"

"You are from Shanghai, right? You should know some data. The total area of ​​Shanghai is only more than 6,000 kilometers, less than twice that of San Jose, but how many people are there? It has already exceeded 10 million,"

"It seems that it has been 1,200,300 million," said Wu Xinyang. "A comparison like this is really a slight difference."

She shook her head and returned to the bed to lie down, "You think, why is Silicon Valley so powerful and there are so many world-renowned big companies?"

"I have also asked Feng Yiping this question. He said that there is nothing difficult to understand. Silicon Valley is actually similar to the development model of some of our coastal towns in China."

"For example, if there is a shoemaking company in the town that makes money, many people will soon run a shoe factory. The relevant supporting facilities in the town will become more and more mature, and the relevant talents will gather more and more,"

"The difference between that town and Silicon Valley is that the first one who made the fortune there was shoes, and the first one who made the fortune here was HP's semiconductor and computer companies," he said.

Wu Xinyang thought for a while, "It seems that this is true,"

“He always makes sense,”

"Then why are there still the most successful well-known companies here?"

"It's simple, Feng Yiping said that the reason why there are so many excellent companies in Silicon Valley is mainly because there are a large number of startups in Silicon Valley. With such a huge base, even by probability, there will naturally be several excellent ones."

"What everyone didn't notice was that the unknown dead people did not splash even more small companies. Behind the ones that survived, there may be more than ten dead companies, but no one thought about these. Those successful examples, and the entrepreneurial environment where everyone dared to try, have stimulated and inspired more and more people to join the entrepreneurial wave...."

"Besides, the comprehensive foundation here is the best in the world, and the relevant systems are also very complete, so the chance of success is indeed higher,"

"But none of the projects he invested in failed," said Wu Xinyang.

"He also said that he was not qualified to fail and could not afford to fail, so when he was in junior high school, he thought about how to do business in the future."

"You know him quite well."

Zheng Jiayi felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, "You will know that he is very enthusiastic and also likes to show off. Sometimes when you ask a question, he will make a big difference."

"It seems that the classmates are still different. He is with us, but there is not so much to say," Wu Xinyang got into the bed, "What do you think he is doing now?"

"He is now..." Zheng Jiayi said to the beginning, and there was no further information, so she lay down.

Wu Xinyang also felt that he had asked a stupid question, and he was naturally sleeping now.

However, his sleep is definitely different from those of singles.

He and Huang Jingping haven't seen each other for a while, and they can tell at the airport that Huang Jingping's eyes have been stuck to him. They all say that a small separation is better than a newlywed. How are they "slept" now?

…………

These two girls who are not very simple in their minds really think a little too much.

After dinner, my grandfather and his parents on both sides couldn't stand it and went back to their room to sleep one after another. Feng Yiping also thought of pulling Huang Jingping back to the room to "sleep". That night in Shanghai, he had the idea of ​​going out to "take a walk". Although he could only think about it, the quilt cover thrown into the washing machine the next day could fully explain some problems.

Now that the child's mother is right in front of her, what else can I be polite?

However, he couldn't do the job of Huang Jingping, and Amanda was very attached to him. After finally coaxing his daughter to sleep, Huang Jingping was sorting out the things she brought from China with Leticia, and ignored Feng Yiping's explicit hints.

Yes, Feng Yiping, who was a little anxious, could understand. The five elders are here, so it’s better to wait for the evening. Don’t you be afraid of having a good meal late, right?

He went to the study and made a phone call, mainly agreeing to go to various companies and work. Now it is the main theme of his life.

Page couldn't wait to hope that he would go to the company early tomorrow morning. Buchanan asked if he needed to rush back from New York. Merbuck hoped that he could arrange a trip to Seattle as soon as possible. Mike wanted to talk to him about the problems of the people sent from China. Ahmed also had a lot of problems to report to him...

Fortunately, no one was too unkind, so he asked him to "rest a good rest today."

Seeing that there was no emergency in the email address, he came to the backyard with a few reports. Today's weather was close to 15 degrees, with no wind and sun. He lay on a recliner, watching the seagulls flying on the sea in the Bay Area, smelling the green air of the newly trimmed lawn, he probably got home, and there were so many relatives at home, so he was very at ease. After a while, his eyelids started fighting.

Then go to bed, anyway, hehe, you should go to bed late tonight.

…………

Huang Jingping actually kept hanging on him in her heart. When she saw him in the backyard, she didn't move for a long time. When she walked over, she saw that she was asleep. It must be a little cold and her body was curled up.

She hurriedly brought a thin blanket and gently covered him.

He still shocked Feng Yiping. He opened his eyes, said "Yeah", and took her into his arms.

"Let go, be good, everyone is here,"

Feng Yiping didn't say anything, hugged her and didn't let go.

Huang Jingping naturally enjoyed such intimacy. Seeing Feng Yiping beside her, she was filled with peace and joy, "Are you very tired?" she asked softly.

"I'm not tired, I'm used to it. I just feel very at ease with you and my daughter by my side," Feng Yiping still closed his eyes, "I feel more at ease with you holding you,"

"Hey," Huang Jingping shaved his nose, "Is there anything I did to me in China that I'm sorry?"

"Talk about this," Feng Yiping opened his eyes, "I'll say it to uncle and aunt. You don't discuss it with me. I said that to them last year."

Huang Jingping's eyes dimmed a little, "Don't worry, I know they will definitely ask about this matter this time. Or I will tell them that I just don't want to get married anyway."

"Stop talking, I have made up this idea long ago. I can't be too greedy," Huang Jingping hugged Feng Yiping, "I'm very satisfied with my current state."

"Jingping, I'm sorry, actually Zhang Yan and I are now,"

During one day and one night in the provincial capital, he finally failed to see Zhang Yan.

"I know, don't worry, she will calm down," Huang Jingping said affirmatively.

How many women can resist you? At least I can't, and Zhang Yan definitely can't.

"sorry,"

Hearing this, Huang Jingping paused, "No, I'm sorry for her,"

"Don't think about it, you go to bed," Huang Jingping kissed him in the face.

…………

"Is this the American mansion?" Looking at the houses with different styles hidden behind towering trees on both sides of the mountain road, Wu Xinyang asked Zheng Jiayi in a low voice.

"I haven't been to many places, but it should be," said Zheng Jiayi. "Although it looks inconspicuous outside and is not as famous as Beverly, Palm Beach, New York's Upper East Side, there are indeed many luxury residential areas in Silicon Valley now,"

However, they both can be sure of one thing. Feng Yiping's house on the top of this hill is definitely the best house in this community.

"It's so nice here," Wu Xinyang said, looking at the lawn and garden in front of the room, which was as big as the park, and the standard tennis court next to it.

"What's rare is this landscape, right, it's better than the Mid-mountain villa in Hong Kong," said Zheng Jiayi.

Huang Jingping led Amanda over, "Jiayi, Xinyang, is the rest good? Is the jet lag reversed?"

"I'm sleeping well, Amanda, let me hug you, look, what is this?" Zheng Jiayi took out a Barbie doll from behind.

"Jingping, your family is so good," said Wu Xinyang.

"In the future, when you have time, come to your home to play more," said Huang Jingping. "The main reason is that Yiping likes such a place with mountains and seas. Xinyang, don't compare it with China. In fact, the price of the house here is not high, nor is it like China has been rising rapidly in recent years. The price has not changed much. If you like it, you can buy it in two years."

Just like what I saw at the airport at noon, Feng Yiping's five elders were now revolving around the child. "I'm a little jealous," he had to wait for a while, but Feng Yiping took them to the backyard, "Is the jet lag reversed? Can you go to work tomorrow?"

"On the other hand, of course we have to go to work tomorrow. We all look forward to joining the team here in the United States right away." At Feng Yiping's home, Zheng Jiayi and Wu Xinyang can finally hold hands without being misunderstood or attracting strange eyes.

"That's good. You will go to the company tomorrow. The group of you will be working together in the next two days. You two, I mean, first get familiar with Silicon Valley for a few days, and then, Jiayi, you will be sent to Seattle and join the Coin Star, just like what I said before, and learn from the spokesperson."

"Xinyang, you have two options. You can do some basic work in the M&A department, or consider joining the restaurant we are preparing," (To be continued.)
