Chapter 43
The one-hour flight passed quickly. Han Rui put his backpack on his back, took out the boarding case from the glove box, and waited in line to get out.
Seeing that Liu Yang only held a very small briefcase in his hand, Han Rui was a little surprised, but then he thought, since the flight from Amsterdam to London is only an hour, maybe this person is just on a short business trip!
But Liu Yang is dressed so well, and he also takes this low-cost airline that costs less than 40 Euros. I'm afraid he is also an unexpectedly rich second generation like Xiaozhe!
Why is it the rich second generation, not the domineering president?
Han Rui doesn't believe that in real life there will be those brain-dead novels and TV shows where people become billionaires through starting a business from scratch in their early twenties.
Zuckerberg is a rare minority.In China, without the precipitation of their parents, how many people can wear Patek Philippe at a young age?
After getting off the plane, the two continued to chat. Only then did Han Rui know that Liu Yang was studying business, and now he is working in luxury e-commerce and live media, and is based in Europe.
Liu Yang is very talkative. From the short journey from getting off the plane to passing through the customs, he gave an overview of his studies, career and life.
Not only that, but also described the impression of Han Rui when he was in college, "You were thinner than now, carrying a black backpack all day long, carrying a large stack of books, and hurried out of the campus, wearing Over Hyde Park..."
His words reminded Han Rui of those years in college, when he had a lot of homework and had to rush back to the apartment every day to cook for Xiao Zhe and Gu Chengjun and clean up the house.
Can you be in a hurry?
Thinking of these, Han Rui thought of Gu Chengjun again.Gu Chengjun didn't call him a single call this week.If it was before, he wished for this.But now, he has already taken the initiative to show his favor, and he didn't expect Gu Chengjun to have such an attitude.
He felt uncomfortable, but also thought about it, was Gu Chengjun's mood before the same as he is now?The true feelings he gave were not responded to, no wonder he often got angry with him.
However, Han Rui reassured himself that this is actually quite good!He doesn't love Gu Chengjun, but Gu Chengjun's previous enthusiasm made him feel uncomfortable.If the next nine years can be like this, without contact or seeing each other for a long time, it shouldn't be difficult.
While queuing up to pass the customs, Liu Yang kept staring at Han Rui's face, only to see that Han Rui's face became unnatural, so he asked, "Have you had laser surgery on your eyes?"
Han Rui was taken aback, "No!"
Liu Yang pointed to his own eyes, "If I don't wear contact lenses, I will be blind, and I'm still a scumbag! I don't know how to break my eyes?"
A scumbag from Imperial College of Business?Han Rui didn't believe it, and knew that Liu Yang was humiliating himself, but he was not the kind of person who was good at communication, so he didn't pretend to refute and compliment him.
However, speaking of eyes, Han Rui recalled that during this period of time, he felt that seeing things was indeed a little blurry, probably because his eyesight had declined.It is natural for eyesight to deteriorate when you are facing the computer for a long time.
So he said, "I'm afraid I'll have to get glasses too."
Liu Yang immediately took out a business card from his bag, wrote a few more words on it, and handed it to Han Rui, "You go to this store for matching, and I'll give you a [-]% discount."
He glanced at Han Rui again, and said, "If you want to wear it, you'd better use contact lenses, so as not to ruin your good looks."
At this, Han Rui thought he was joking, took a look at the business card, and saw that besides Liu Yang's English name and title, there were also a few words written in English: Drake, thisismyfriend, pleasegivehim70%discount.Thanks.
"Is this your friend's shop?"
Liu Yang didn't deny it either, and said with a smile, "You can tell Drake what you want to buy. Not only the quality is guaranteed, but the discount is huge. After the tax rebate, it's at least 80.00% cheaper than domestic prices."
Han Rui then thought of their colleagues in Germany and the Netherlands. If they want to buy famous watches, there is a capable person in Dusseldorf who can help them get a [-]% off price, plus tax rebates. The final price is cheaper than domestic ones. many.
However, no matter how cheap it is, it is not as cheap as [-]% off!
This is probably Liu Yang's own shop, and then he has a special discount.
After putting away the business card, it happened to be their turn. Han Rui handed over his passport, and the customs staff flipped through it a few times before asking blankly, "What are you doing in the UK?"
Han Rui had expected this blunt tone a long time ago.Since the UK left the European Union, their colleagues went to the UK from the European continent, and nine times out of ten they will be made things difficult.
It is not aimed at the Chinese, but because there are too many entry and exit stamps in their passports, the customs worry that they may work part-time on both sides, which will affect employment in the UK.
After Han Rui explained the reason without being humble, and answered the name of the company, the customs officer stopped attacking and returned the passport to him.
As for Liu Yang, what he handed over was a British residence card, and the staff only checked the photo and gave it to him.
Because they didn't need to pick up their luggage, they went straight to the bus waiting area after customs clearance.When buying tickets, Han Rui also bought one for Liu Yang.
Liu Yang paid him the meal fee in the revolving restaurant, plus tips, probably cost [-] Euros.He didn't know how to repay this favor, but as long as he had the opportunity, he could repay a little bit in terms of money.
While waiting, Liu Yang asked again, "Are you tired from work? I heard that your company treats its employees like bullshit."
"It's not bad!" Han Rui didn't feel too tired. His income was directly proportional to his hard work, so what's there to complain about?
When getting into the car, Han Rui noticed that there were several young men and women who were very fashionable and exquisitely dressed behind them.
These people seem to have just been on the same flight as him.However, judging by their attire, they neither looked like foreign students, nor did they look like he was on a business trip in such a hurry.
How could this kind of person come to take such a bad and cheap airline?
Han Rui turned his head and glanced at Liu Yang again, are the rich second generation so low-key now?
After sitting down, Liu Yang stopped talking, and chatted with Han Rui on WeChat instead. Often Han Rui hadn't finished replying to a message, and this person sent more than a dozen more.The content of the chat, from when I was studying to the present, from studies to work, from life to hobbies.
Han Rui was not used to such familiar and enthusiastic people, but Liu Yang didn't look like a bad person, so he had to choose those questions that did not involve privacy and were easy to answer.
When we arrived in the urban area, it was past two o'clock in the morning, and Liu Yang said again, "I'll take you back! It's not safe so late."
Han Rui didn't want Liu Yang to know where he lived, and Gu Chengjun's apartment was in South Kensington, a wealthy area in London, and the security was not bad even at night.It is also convenient to go there by car.
Seeing that Han Rui insisted not to let him go, Liu Yang waved goodbye.
While waiting for the Taxi, Han Rui suddenly heard the roar of the engine.The sound was particularly harsh and harsh in this silent night, causing him to turn his head reflexively, but just in time to see Liu Yang getting into a sports car.And the driver seemed to be one of the fashionable men and women he saw on the bus just now.
Only then did he realize that they were together!No wonder!
It was already three o'clock when we got back to the apartment, and Xiaozhe and the driver had gone to bed early.However, a floor lamp remained in the living room.
The floor lamp is Chinese style, and the lantern-like lampshade emits a dim yellow light, which makes people look comfortable.Han Rui stared at it for a long time, this lamp was brought by Gu Chengjun from China, and it has been used for many years.When he was doing hygiene once, the handle of the vacuum cleaner knocked over the lamp and broke the lampshade, but Gu Chengjun was reluctant to throw it away. He also said that when people are abroad, seeing such a lamp will make them feel at home.
feel like home?
Han Rui doesn't know what it feels like to be home. For a person like him, home is a luxury.When I was young, I grew up with my cousin's parents in the countryside, and I only returned to the city when I was in elementary school, but that wasn't his home either, he was just a bastard.When he was a little older, he was sent to Gu's family for foster care.
He never knew what a home should be like, what should the warmth of a family be like?Not to mention the love of his parents, it was a serious meal, which he had never eaten before going to Gu's house.
But in the Gu family, there is no feeling of home. Gu Chengjun is busy with work and rarely at home. In the huge house, there are only him, Xiao Zhe and sister Zhu, the nanny, and a half-grown child with a baby. This is not a home either.
On the contrary, after coming to England, he, Gu Chengjun and Xiaozhe lived in such an apartment, day after day, year after year, and it felt a little bit like home.However, he was very afraid of Gu Chengjun at that time, and he didn't have the heart to feel the warmth of the family.
Now, the relationship between him and Gu Chengjun has eased, and he is willing to accept Gu Chengjun, but something happened to the Gu family, and he doesn't know what will happen to him and Gu Chengjun in the future.
The next morning, while Han Rui was still sleeping, Xiao Zhe ran into the room and jumped on top of him, yelling, "Mom!"
Han Rui, who was sleeping dimly, was hit by this sudden heavy object, and was almost crushed and frightened to death.
He covered his head with one hand and his abdomen with the other, and it took a long time for him to fully wake up under Xiao Zhe's continuous pressure.
"Xiao Zhe, do you know how much you weigh now?"
"Little Mom, do you think I'm fat?" Xiao Zhe pouted, unwillingly bumping Han Rui again.
Han Rui made a "hissing" inhalation sound from his mouth in pain, feeling that his internal organs had been crushed, not only his chest was out of breath, but also his ribs and stomach ached.
When Xiao Zhe found out that his little mother was not just pretending, but really hurting, he quickly got up, "Little Mom, didn't you crush it?"
After the pain passed, Han Rui sighed, sat up, and stroked Xiao Zhe's hair, "It should not be crushed, don't do it next time."
Knowing that the little mother is fine, Xiao Zhe started working again, hanging Han Rui's neck, and said coquettishly, "Come with me to Norway."
Seeing that Liu Yang only held a very small briefcase in his hand, Han Rui was a little surprised, but then he thought, since the flight from Amsterdam to London is only an hour, maybe this person is just on a short business trip!
But Liu Yang is dressed so well, and he also takes this low-cost airline that costs less than 40 Euros. I'm afraid he is also an unexpectedly rich second generation like Xiaozhe!
