Chapter 398 Don't Miss Any Opportunity

The last time she went abroad, Lin Xiangnan was Professor Wang's assistant and was not eligible to bring her family with her. This time, Professor Wang was not going, so she went by herself and had the quota to bring her family with her.

After finalizing the time for his trip to the United States, Lin Xiangnan went home and invited Hu Meili.

"Would you like to go out with me? If so, I'll apply tomorrow."

"No." Hu Meili refused mercilessly.

Unexpectedly, Hu Meili would refuse. Lin Xiangnan asked curiously, "No, you didn't say that before? Didn't you always want to go abroad for a trip?"

"The past was the past, and the present is the present."

Hu Meili said distressedly: "If my bun shop is closed, I will lose a lot of money. Add in the money I spent abroad, it's a huge loss."

After just a simple calculation with her fingers, Hu Meili couldn't help but shake her head.

Since opening the store, Hu Meili has been reluctant to close the store even if she is stuck in a tight spot, rain or shine.

It's no use trying to seduce her by going abroad.

"Forget it if you don't want to go. There will be plenty of opportunities to go abroad in the future anyway." Lin Xiangnan didn't force it.

This time when Lin Xiangnan went abroad, he not only had to attend an international academic conference, but also had to visit factories with several leaders to help evaluate the introduction of equipment.

Since the domestic technology is not good enough, they can only import production lines from abroad. Some second-hand equipment costs tens of millions of dollars. Lin Xiangnan had a heart attack when he saw this, and he also deeply realized how empty his wallet was.

With the assets in her hands, there is no problem for her to live a life of luxury and enjoy life, but it is impossible for her to be financially independent and buy whatever she wants.

Therefore, Lin Xiangnan is still quite concerned about the new business he has created for the time being.

Before going on stage to present his thesis, Lin Xiangnan handed his camera to his companion, "Sister Liu, remember to take pictures of me later. Especially when everyone is applauding."

"Okay." Sister Liu nodded honestly, thinking in her mind how to find the angle when taking the photo later.

Those boring research data sound quite hypnotic. If it weren’t for a paper with very high technical content, the audience would not only not applaud, but some people would even sneak away.

But Lin Xiangnan obviously didn't have this problem. She came all the way here not to applaud others. What she brought out was very much in line with her ability.

Whether it's the shot of the audience applauding or the shot of everyone raising their hands to ask questions during the exchange session, you can capture the full texture without having to find an angle.

Sister Liu held the camera and excitedly clicked the shutter button.

When Lin Xiangnan's speech was over, Sister Liu returned the camera with an extremely excited tone, "It wasn't just me taking pictures of you just now. Other photographers were also taking pictures of you."

Lin Xiangnan turned his head to take a look and said, "I don't know those reporters."

This time, she came out simply to make her presence felt internationally and accumulate some fame, there is no other meaning.

After communicating with a group of international colleagues, Lin Xiangnan took advantage of the break to do his own little things.

She took Sister Liu and, according to the address given by Lin Xiangdong, went to find a student who had successfully obtained a passport and came to the United States.

When advertising, Lin Xiangnan said that his eldest brother had sent hundreds of students abroad, using exaggerated rhetoric, but not too exaggerated, otherwise Lin Xiangdong would not be happy. So there are not hundreds of them, but there are more than a hundred.

Among these more than one hundred people, only this one managed to make a name for himself. The letter he wrote back home was not to complain, but he actually sent money back.

They went to Chinatown and found the Chinese restaurant. As soon as they entered the door, Lin Xiangnan asked, "Is Ding Mi here? We have something to talk to him about."

The waiter who was wiping the table looked up when he heard this and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"The teacher is here to visit me. I'm Lin Xiangdong's sister. He knew I was here, so he asked me to come and see if you were doing well."

"You can still get a return visit after going abroad?" Ding Mi looked shocked. "Teacher Lin is indeed an international student. He has a wide network of contacts."

When Ding Mi first got his passport and was able to travel abroad, he was the envy of his relatives and friends, and when others told others about it, his family would feel proud.

But after personally going abroad to experience it, Ding Mi found that life abroad was not as good as he had imagined.

Now that he was here, he couldn't bear to go back for the time being. Facing Lin Xiangnan's question, Ding Mi could only stand firm.

"I'm doing well here. I eat well, sleep well, and get a high hourly wage. In a few years, when I convert the US dollars I earn into RMB, my family will all be able to live a good life."

Lin Xiangnan didn't have the nerve to expose it. Ding Mi's visa was only valid for three months, so how could he stay for several years?

"Can I take a picture of you? This picture may be published in the newspaper, and I want to use you to inspire the students in the training class." Lin Xiangnan said: "It's not in vain to let you take the picture. I am willing to spend a sum of money to buy the right to use your portrait."

"After all, this is a foreign country, so let's follow foreign rules." Lin Xiangnan said as he took out two hundred dollars from his pocket.

"No problem! Take pictures however you want!" Ding Mi, who originally wanted to refuse, immediately changed his attitude 80 degrees when he saw the money.

He probably guessed Lin Xiangnan's intention of advertising, and he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of people in his hometown.

He never talked about the hardships he suffered outside, and only talked about the good things.

"I have worked as a waiter for two months and have saved enough money. Next month, I plan to open a restaurant in Chinatown. This way, I will have a higher income and try to buy a house and a car this year..."

Lin Xiangnan nodded as he listened, and praised insincerely: "It looks like the situation is very good."

She was quite supportive, but Sister Liu, who came with her, had a strange expression on her face. She glanced at Ding Mi's clothes and hair but didn't comment.

After leaving the Chinese restaurant, Sister Liu said, "You want to use this to advertise your English training class? Does anyone believe it?"

"It doesn't matter what the facts are, they only believe in their own imagination."

Sister Liu shook her head, "You might as well advertise in the newspaper where you were featured in foreign news. This is not more reliable than Ding Mi."

When attending the seminar, the photos taken by the foreign journalists were not in vain, as they were reported to Lin Xiangnan. Because she was praised by the local bigwigs and was too young, she was given a large space in the newspaper.

"Attack both. Attack both. Don't miss any opportunity."
