Chapter 434: Digging a hole for yourself
Seeing that she was still smiling after hanging up the phone, Lu Jianchuan asked, "What's the matter? Why are you so happy?"
Lin Siqiao smiled with curved eyebrows, "Good news, great news!"
Before, she was more or less hesitant, but now with the country's support, she has nothing to worry about.
It was through this study abroad trip and the trip to China that Lin Siqiao gradually realized one thing: in fact, what China lacks most at this moment is not those core technical materials, but funds.
Because there is no money, everyone from the government to the common people have to live frugally.
Due to lack of money, the country can only purchase obsolete machinery and equipment from abroad if it wants to develop.
Due to lack of money, the process technology cannot be improved and can only remain at the stage of theoretical research.
Going further back, the low salaries for scientific researchers in later generations led to a large loss of talent.
So instead of racking his brains to find an opportunity to make the information public, Lin Siqiao prefers the current situation: turning a deaf ear to the outside world and focusing only on making a lot of money.
The key is to earn foreign exchange, which the country lacks the most. This is simply too cool!
Thinking that Lu Jianchuan would return home after attending her opening ceremony tomorrow, Lin Siqiao took his arm.
"How about we go out for a walk and do some shopping, then have a big dinner tonight to celebrate?"
That's good, but...
"Don't you still have to write that speech?" Lu Jianchuan asked.
"It's okay. That won't take much time. If it doesn't work, I can just improvise."
After all, she had spoken on stage as a representative of freshmen more than once in later lives, so Lin Siqiao was quite experienced in this kind of thing.
Since Lin Siqiao said so, Lu Jianchuan naturally had no objection. Fortunately, this apartment was located in a prosperous area and there were all the necessary shopping malls nearby, so he didn't have to go too far.
After they had almost packed up, the two went to the nearest shopping mall.
After some shopping, Lin Siqiao picked out a warm cashmere shirt for each of the elders on both sides.
There is no way. Most of the country's specialties are related to tobacco and alcohol. Not only are they difficult to carry after buying them, but they are also not suitable to bring back.
After buying things for the adults, Lin Siqiao didn’t forget about the children.
After leaving the mall, she went straight to a toy store called (1760) and picked out one for each of her children.
Just when Lin Siqiao was thinking about buying something for Lu Jianchuan, Lu Jianchuan suddenly took her into an inconspicuous shop at the corner of the street.
Looking at the bustling crowd and the sounds of bargaining inside, people who don’t know might think they have entered a big shopping mall, but in fact, this is a specialty store selling guns.
"Hello, what can I do for you two?"
The boss was a middle-aged bald man named Paul. Upon seeing Lin Siqiao and the others coming in, he quickly handed the customers over to other people and personally served the two of them with a smile on his face.
Lin Siqiao was not surprised at all about this.
In fact, every Asian who comes to a foreign country has been preparing to buy these since the moment they set foot on this land.
It might be okay for others not to buy it, but not them.
What surprised her was that Lu Jianchuan already had a custom-made pistol on him, so why did he need to buy one?
Lu Jianchuan said, "I bought it for you."
"Give me?"
Lu Jianchuan nodded. The gun in his hand had more powerful firepower, but it was tailor-made according to his gun-using habits. The recoil after firing was relatively strong, so it was not suitable for his wife.
My wife prefers a lightweight, compact and easy-to-carry model.
As he spoke, Lu Jianchuan asked the boss to take out the silver-white automatic pistol from the window.
Paul originally wanted to introduce him to them, but when he saw that the man was so skilled that he was obviously an expert, he didn't say anything more.
After debugging, Lu Jianchuan handed the pistol to Lin Siqiao and said, "Try it first to see how it feels."
As soon as he got the gun, Lin Siqiao said, "This is much lighter than the Black Star I used before, and the size is also suitable."
Lu Jianchuan nodded, these are the advantages of a small pistol.
But because of this, the magazine capacity of this pistol is relatively low, and the shortened trajectory also invisibly reduces the power of the ammunition. In addition, the loud gunshot is also a more obvious disadvantage.
Fortunately, there are ways to deal with these problems.
Lin Siqiao understood his worries and wanted to reassure him.
"Okay, then I'll take this one."
Although this gun looks small and exquisite, its price is actually not cheap, almost as much as the one she bought.
That was not all. Because Lu Jianchuan was going to go back and modify the gun, they also purchased an ultra-light alloy barrel, grip patches, a ballistic silencer, etc., which cost several hundred pounds.
They had originally planned to celebrate outside, but in the end, because of the gun, they had to go back home.
Fortunately, there were still a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, and there was a lot of beef left from the lunch. After the two of them had a simple meal in the evening, Lu Jianchuan went to the small study.
He will be returning home tomorrow night, so he has to hurry up and get these modified.
Lu Jianchuan was busy until the early morning.
Looking at the disassembled parts on the table and the tired look on his face, Lin Siqiao felt a little regretful. He should not have bought this thing if he had known earlier.
"If you can't finish it, do it tomorrow."
"It's okay, we can finish it today."
As Lu Jianchuan spoke, he suddenly stood up and hugged the man around the waist.
Lin Siqiao was startled and tapped him twice, "What are you doing?"
Lu Jianchuan pecked her face a few times, then smiled with satisfaction.
"Wife, you have to give a speech tomorrow, go back to your room and rest early."
After saying that, he looked at her innocently, "What do you think I'm going to do?"
Lin Siqiao was furious. It turned out that you couldn't just treat men with respect.
"Okay, go to sleep, no need to wait for me."
Lu Jianchuan rubbed her head. Although he also wanted to do something, he wanted his wife to be safe and sound more.
Lin Siqiao originally thought that she couldn't sleep, but she overestimated herself. When she opened her eyes again, it was already past six o'clock the next morning.
Before she could recover from the shock of bed, Lu Jianchuan pushed the door open.
Just like when we last saw him at the airport, he was still wearing the same dark suit, but last time he paired it with a camel-colored sweater, while this time he wore a white shirt underneath.
In the past, Lin Siqiao didn’t understand what a girl who loves suits was.
Now she understood, she was.
Perhaps her gaze was too hot, Lu Jianchuan scratched his nose and his voice became hoarse.
"Is this not suitable for me to wear? How about I change into another one?
"No, this is great, I like it!"
With the words "I like it very much", Lu Jianchuan's expression visibly relaxed.
After almost packing, the two drove to St. John's College. After registering their information, Lin Siqiao took Lu Jianchuan towards the college auditorium.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is already very attractive, not to mention a new school celebrity like Lin Siqiao.
Therefore, as soon as the two entered the campus, they attracted a lot of stares.
Mr. Shi arrived a few minutes earlier than them and was quite surprised to see Lin Siqiao and a male comrade walking over, talking and laughing.
Seeing this, Lin Siqiao hurriedly introduced them to them.
"You...you are really married?" Mr. Shi was surprised.
He always thought that the little girl said this in order to discourage those people.
Lin Siqiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. Could this be fake?
"Why……"
Mr. Shi sighed deeply, but before he could say anything, several male classmates came over with flowers in their hands.
A few people came and said nothing, scrambling to stuff the flowers in their hands into Lin Siqiao's arms.
"..." Lin Siqiao was completely speechless.
Sending flowers to yourself in front of your man, isn't that digging a hole for yourself?
