Chapter 353 The Art of Big Brother's Language

Lin Xiangdong’s strong performance forced the fellow villager to change his words.

"Okay, okay, Lin Xiangnan is amazing. That's enough. I didn't say she's not amazing. It's just that classmate Meng Chengzhi is even more amazing."

Lin Xiangdong rolled his eyes and said, "You don't know Lin Xiangnan, how do you know she is worse than others?"

Lin Xiangnan may seem unreliable at home, but in the underworld, he is also a big shot and very powerful. Lin Xiangdong does not think that Lin Xiangnan is worse than anyone else.

"I don't know Lin Xiangnan. But Meng Chengzhi is a genius who was poached. Not only was he given money, but he was also given the opportunity to further his studies. I don't think Lin Xiangnan can do that."

Without meeting the person in person, and without knowing the strength of both parties, the standard of judgment is naturally external. In the research institute, even Professor Wang's salary is only more than 100 yuan a month.

Meng Chengzhi was poached and given a settling-in allowance of 100,000 yuan, which was only the most basic benefit. The most tempting thing was that he could enter a high-end laboratory and get involved in more in-depth research projects.

To be honest, the scientific research progress abroad is indeed several decades more advanced than that in China, which is a huge blow and shock to an ordinary student.

Faced with this kind of gap, some people would think of catching up, but some people would be frightened and decide to join the other side if they can't beat them.

The gossip about Meng Chengzhi being poached spread throughout the circle of government-sponsored students. The embassy naturally also found out about it and hurriedly talked to the students overnight.

Within two days, Lin Xiangdong also received attention from his colleagues at the embassy.

"Part of the reason the US government is poaching people is because they value talent, but in fact, they have no good intentions..."

Poaching people is just a superficial act; their core purpose is to create trouble for China.

Even though China is backward now, its population and land area are there, and no one wants to see China develop.

"Don't worry, leader. I have already rejected my teacher, and my family is waiting for me to go back." Lin Xiangdong was determined to return to China.

He comforted the people who came to talk, "My classmates are determined to repay the country after they finish their studies. They definitely have no intention of running away. The organization can trust us a little more."

Lin Xiangdong said this with great confidence, and when the people he was talking to left his dormitory, they all had relaxed smiles on their faces.

But within a few days, Lin Xiangdong learned from his classmates that the topic-focused student Meng had fallen into the arms of the enemy.

After this incident, the embassy became even more concerned about them, fearing that someone else would run away.

Lin Xiangdong was not sure whether this matter would appear in domestic newspapers, so when he wrote the letter, he took the initiative to explain the matter clearly, for fear that Hu Meili would think too much.

"It's a three-month summer vacation, and he doesn't go home. Who wouldn't worry?" Hu Meili muttered, "How expensive can the plane ticket be? Can't I reimburse him?"

"I'm afraid you can't bear to part with it." Lin Xiangnan glanced at her and said, "Last year's air ticket price seemed to be 1,200 yuan. 2,500 yuan for a round trip, can your little treasury afford it?"

"I've been watching your eldest brother for so many years, and I'm tired of it. Actually, I don't miss him that much, but sometimes it's annoying to see him in front of me for too long."

Under Lin Xiangnan's teasing gaze, Hu Meili angrily explained: "Such an expensive ticket, who would be willing to pay for it except for business trips? You wouldn't be willing to pay for it either."

"Who said I'm reluctant? It's just that with my job, it's not easy for me to go abroad except for business trips." Lin Xiangnan raised his chin proudly, "Do you want to go to the United States for a tour? I'll pay for your plane ticket."

"No. With that money, I might as well have a good meal. It won't cost him anything if I look at your elder brother less." Hu Meili's motherly love emphasizes economy and practicality.

Although she was reluctant to spend the money on the plane ticket, she was still willing to send money to help Lin Xiangdong buy food.

"Given your brother's current situation, he can't live a bad life, otherwise he might be seduced away if he is not careful." Hu Meili prepared for a rainy day.

Her current mentality is that children must be raised in wealth because there are yellow-haired men out there hooking up with them.

Hu Meili is not just worrying about nothing. This is the truth. Not only Hu Meili, but even Lin Xiangdong thinks so.

In the letter that Lin Xiangdong sent home, in addition to the matter of his classmates being poached, he also analyzed his own mentality.

He was very grateful to Hu Meili for her efforts in getting him back to the city in the past two years, and he was also glad that he had learned a lot from Lin Xiangnan.

If you want a modern life, such as refrigerators, color TVs, and washing machines, you can get it in China as long as you work hard. If you want to live in a big house, you can save money and build or buy a big yard without waiting for the company to allocate housing.

Like classmate Meng, because of his average family conditions, he lived in a shack on the outskirts of the city. He even went to school intermittently. When he went abroad and saw other people's leading living standards, he was shocked on the spot.

The average housing area per capita in China is less than 5 square meters, and the entire population has not yet achieved adequate food and clothing. Mr. Meng's living conditions in China are actually just surviving.

Because he had actually been to the countryside and experienced hardships, although Lin Xiangdong condemned classmate Meng in the letter, he also expressed understanding.

"... His behavior is somewhat despicable. I can't do it... But I also understand his approach. It's human nature to want to live a good life. Moreover, the teachers and laboratories he has contact with are top-notch. In comparison, he may feel desperate... Rather than returning to China and becoming a historical dust, it is better to stay here and shine..."

Without funding and equipment, it is extremely difficult to achieve results.

The key is that China's technology started late.

Lin Xiangdong and most of his classmates knew the gap between China and abroad, but they still decided to return to China.

After reading the letter, Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but comment, "Everyone's thinking is too pessimistic. Twenty or thirty years later, people with the surname Meng will have become world-class scientists and won the Nobel Prize, while someone else will still be in China overcoming the technological blockade of developed countries."

"Wait, who is this someone talking about?" Lin Xiangnan carefully examined the context and said doubtfully, "This someone is not talking about me, is he?"

We are thousands of miles apart, so it shouldn't be possible for her to be blamed, right?

"It's definitely not you. Didn't you see your elder brother praising you and speaking well of you outside? How dare that traitor surnamed Meng compare himself with you? You are from our Hu family and Lin family..."

Halfway through her words, Hu Meili glanced at Gu Zhenhua who was teasing the child and added: "And the old Gu family, the pride of our whole family."

Lin Xiangnan secretly gritted her teeth. She carefully read the original text twice and was very sure that the person being trampled on was her!

When praising her, Lin Xiangdong used her full name, fearing that she would not know. When writing about the comments of classmates, Lin Xiangdong used "someone" or "that classmate" instead.

"No one says my elder brother is a cultured man. His art of speaking is really great." Lin Xiangnan gritted his teeth.
