Standing pretty old

Chapter 164 Christmas Eve

Tomorrow is Christmas, but Ouyang Haotian, a Chinese American, is still stranded in China.

This didn't seem to be a big deal. He already lived in the imperial capital, so where to spend Christmas was not a problem.

The problem is that Mr. Ouyang Haotian suffered a serious crime on the way to Ruan Erniu's hometown.

After taking the plane, he took the bus for 2 hours, spent 100 yuan in the town, and took a tricycle driven by diesel or oil. Came to Ruan Erniu's house.

When getting off the car, Ouyang Haotian felt that his buttocks did not belong to him at all.

"Kraft, are you joking? Do you know what I went through to get to your hometown?" Ouyang Haotian roared angrily on the other end of the phone.

Ruan Erniu hurriedly put the earphones away, then turned on the speakerphone and said, "Hey, did you find the place according to the address I said?"

"Don't change the subject, and I'll settle the score with you when I come back." Ouyang Haotian adjusted his mood, and said with a smile, "I have met your parents and asked them. The second elder is in good health, so you don't have to worry about it." ! By the way, your father asked me to tell you, keep busy with your career, don't worry about them, and show our country's prestige in the imperial capital next year!"

"Hmm! It seems that Comrade Jingtian has made a lot of reports recently, and they all use idioms!" Ruan Erniu also laughed, and he continued to ask, "How is the team formation going?"

"Don't worry, the general framework of the company has been established. However, the founder team I dug up has some disagreements with your initial vision. They want to send a representative to the United States to discuss with you!"

"No problem, Steven, you can just watch the arrangements. After Christmas, I will start another away trip, so you can arrange it when I return home!"

"OK! By the way, I heard that Bull and you still have a younger sister?" Ouyang Haotian asked suddenly.

"Yes, I'm in high school in the city, what's the matter?"

"Do you also need me to drop by to see her? Save me from running back and forth, BOSS!"

Ruan Erniu said: "It's up to you, Xiaohui should be doing well in school! Let me warn you first, don't agree to any conditions easily, my sister is no more stupid than our two brothers, you have to be careful! "

Ouyang Haotian chuckled and said, "How can I say that I'm also a fourth-year student, how can I be fooled by a high school student?"

"Okay! Merry-Christmas!"

"Merry-Christmas!"

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Haotian hung up the phone and set foot on the road to the city.

Ruan Erniu, who was far away in Atlanta, called Silicon Valley. He wanted to communicate with Brian Acton to see how his mobile application was doing.

"Kraft, you are the most irresponsible partner I have ever met!" Acton complained.

Ruan Erniu smiled and said, "He must be the most willing partner you have ever met! Alright, buddy, tell me, how are you doing?"

Brian Acton said with a smile: "The technical level is not a big problem. IOS is not difficult to crack. But will Jobs really open up the platform? I'm still not sure yet!"

Er Niu said affirmatively: "Actually, I got Jobs' cell phone number through a person named Warren Buffett. How about I give you the phone number and you can call and ask?"

Acton said excitedly, "Is this appropriate?"

"Of course it's not appropriate. I'm just joking. It's too presumptuous to call like this! Besides, I'm not going to use this method to get to know him."

Acton is still a technical manager after all, and asked unwillingly: "Then how can you be sure that he will open IOS in the end?"

Ruan Erniu said confidently: "Because Google will force him, on the 5th of last month, that is, on November 11th, Google officially open-sourced Android. I don't know when phones using the Android system will be officially launched, but Jobs I will definitely let go of the IOS application before that. And I will definitely find an opportunity to talk to him on an equal footing!"

Acton asked in admiration and doubt: "Why are you, an NBA player, better at understanding the trends in the IT world than I am?"

Ruan Erniu said: "Generally, for-matters-under-heaven, those-closely-involved-cannot-see-as-clearly-as-those-outside."
The two exchanged Merry Christmas before ending the conversation.

Finally, Ruan Erniu called Han Lei's cell phone in Boston.

"Johnny, what's going on?"

"Since the advertising blockbuster of you throwing away the USB flash drive was broadcast, our user growth rate has exceeded 1000%. Now several investment institutions have approached us!"

"Don't ignore them, these guys are only eligible for the B round. According to our original agreement, I will be responsible for the A round money, and your shares don't need to be diluted!"

"Of course! By the way, Kraft, let me ask you a digression, how are you and my sister getting along recently?" Han Lei's turn is fast enough!
"When you hang up the phone, the rest of the time belongs to me and MAY!" Ruan Erniu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Han Lei also laughed.

The two exchanged Merry Christmas, ending the call.

After a while, Ruan Erniu's doorbell rang, and the Christmas tree he ordered was delivered.

Ruan Erniu paid with a credit card, and knocked on Han Meimei's door with the Christmas tree as tall as a person in his arms.

Han Meimei took out the ribbons she had already prepared, decorated the Christmas tree, and sprinkled a few golden stars on it.

Although there were only two of them, Ruan Erniu and Han Meimei still put all the prepared gifts under the Christmas tree.

After a lot of busy work, the two finally got their dinner ready.

Big red dining table, red and white striped candles, golden crispy turkey, red wine marinated apples, chocolate cake, plums, pudding, mince pie, milky mashed potatoes, the richness to the extreme!
Americans usually don’t pay much attention to food. The only Chinese New Year’s meal, as long as the family has no financial problems, can basically be called a luxury.

The two sat down one after another, picked up the glass full of eggnog, touched it lightly, and tasted it.

This wine made from eggs, milk, and rum is not only sweet and smooth, but also has the effect of treating colds.

"Merry-Christmas!"

"Merry-Christmas!"

Just as Ruan Erniu was about to say something, the roar of fireworks outside the house had already sounded.

The two walked to the window sill in tacit understanding, and watched the fireworks outside the house rise, burn, explode, scatter, and disappear!
Ruan Erniu laughed and said, "Is it because there are more and more Chinese Americans in Atlanta? Why are fireworks so popular now?"

Han Meimei raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "Who knows? Let's just watch it from the sidelines!"

Ruan Erniu frowned and said, "Just look at it?"

After finishing speaking, he put his left arm around her waist, and his right hand pressed against her back, trying to wrap her in his arms.

The woman slowly closed her eyes, and the man leaned his head back.

This is destined to be a wonderful Christmas Eve. Two young people who left their hometown and lived in Atlanta warmed each other up.

At this moment, they found the feeling of home.

Home is where you are!
This night is destined to be wonderful and moving!
This night is destined to toss and turn!
This night is destined to be full of joy!

This night, someone is destined to tell each other their hearts!
When the sun rose as usual the next day, a man and a woman on a bed looked at each other, smiled, kissed each other, recalling yesterday's story!
