Chapter 550 I'm Not a Steamed Meat Bun
"Li Ye, what are you doing? Do you think I am a money-loving person? What I just said is that I will use my spare time to work in exchange for compensation, not... You are being too unreasonable."
Zhen Rongrong was anxious and angry, and wanted to scold Li Ye, but she was powerless to refute him.
Li Ye has already led her into a trap just now. Are you studying abroad to study or to wash dishes and make money?
There is no other answer to this question, either your purpose of studying abroad is impure.
Everyone is vying for an opportunity to study abroad and wants to carve the words "serve the motherland" on their foreheads, but you, Zhen Rongrong, are only thinking about washing dishes?
"Anyway, I won't take your money. Li Ye, I know you are rich, but you didn't do this before!"
Zhen Rongrong took two steps back, guarding against Li Ye as if she were guarding against a pervert.
Li Ye held the envelope in his hand and said calmly: "Zhen Rongrong, I know you are very strong-willed, but you must listen to me finish some words."
"I can tell you that the Western world is not the paradise it is said to be. It is filled with ugliness beyond your imagination, and these uglinesses are most likely to fall on those of us who are not white."
"After you reach the lighthouse, you will encounter many difficulties, and behind each difficulty, there may be a series of traps waiting for you. Especially for a beautiful girl like you, you are more likely to encounter danger than boys."
"In fact, many difficulties can be solved with just a little money, such as not having to work in unsafe neighborhoods, not having to deal with some unpleasant people, and avoiding some opportunities that seem a bit abnormal."
“.”
Li Ye talked about many dangers that international students may encounter. Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, it is definitely golden words from a safety perspective.
Aren’t there enough news reports about accidents involving overseas students on the Internet in later generations?
But Zhen Rongrong still insisted and shook her head, unwilling to accept Li Ye's gift.
She always felt that once she took Li Ye's money, the relationship between the two of them would no longer be so pure.
But Li Ye suddenly grabbed Zhen Rongrong's hand and stuffed the money into her hand.
"Squad leader, you can choose not to use this money, but you can't live without it,"
"You are thousands of miles away from home. What if you encounter any difficulties? So I hope you don't need this money, just use it as an emergency reserve.
When you come back, just pay me back the principal and interest. For the sake of our friendship, I don’t ask for much. Three percent annual interest, how about that? "
“.”
Zhen Rongrong felt her hands getting a little hot. She wanted to refuse Li Ye, but finally gave in.
"Li Ye, you are forcing me to do something against my will. You are..."
"I'm lending money!" Li Ye loosened his hand and said with a smile: "You know, the mainland does not support personal foreign exchange savings now. I can't deposit money in the bank to earn interest.
Now that I finally caught someone like you who can be fleeced, I must rely on you to fleece you!"
Seeing Zhen Rongrong still hesitant, Li Ye pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, squad leader, you are not planning to never come back, are you?"
"Are we going to say goodbye forever and never see each other again? Wow~, I am thinking about your interest, but you should not think about my principal~"
“Puff~,”
Zhen Rongrong was finally amused.
She raised the envelope in her hand and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely resist all the temptations overseas and return on time after completing my studies with your interest."
"Oh, that's right," Li Ye said happily, "Believe me, squad leader, when you look back in ten years, you will be glad for your choice. The development opportunities back in the mainland are no worse than those staying overseas."
"Even though our economics major is not a popular major now, I believe that in the next decade or so, those who study economics will definitely achieve great things and rise to prominence."
"Hahahahahaha, you're still rising to prominence! Li Ye, your little trick is exposed!"
"It's okay, squad leader, you won't tell on me."
Li Ye smiled gently and did not reveal any more "secrets" to Zhen Rongrong.
The Department of Economics was definitely not a popular major at that time, and the number of students admitted was very small. But later it became a popular major. The reason was that with the progress of reform and opening up, a gap in professional talents emerged.
Especially those like Zhen Rongrong who have returned from studying abroad are even more popular.
You have to know that for a long time, the mainland has had great trust and even admiration for the overseas economics community.
It was not until the late 1980s, after the economic experts from Lighthouse assisted the mainland in achieving the "price breakthrough", that China returned to its original self and embarked on its own path.
Therefore, after Zhen Rongrong comes back, if she can enter an organization like the Planning Economic Commission or the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and patiently endure for a dozen years, it is no joke that she will be able to rise to prominence.
. . . . . . . .
When Li Ye returned to the dormitory, it was already late. However, as soon as he entered the dormitory, he found that Sun Xianjin was still awake and was looking at him eagerly, like a resentful woman waiting for her husband who went out to do business to come home.
"Your alcohol tolerance has improved! You're still sober after drinking so much?"
"Brother, I have been staying awake because I want to remind you that someone saw you and the squad leader go into the woods alone tonight.
If there is any gossip tomorrow, you must be prepared. Wen is not someone you can easily mess with."
"Who is trying to put the blame on me? Isn't this defaming someone's innocence? Who is it? I'll go talk to him."
Li Ye was furious. How could someone say such a thing in the woods at night? He must be killed.
Sun Xianjin quickly grabbed Li Ye and said, "No, brother, no one wants to tarnish someone's innocence. It's just that a few people who like the squad leader got drunk and said that you delayed the squad leader."
“.”
Li Ye was silent for a long time before he said listlessly, "What do you mean by delay or not? We all come to Beijing University to study. What does it matter if we have a relationship or not?"
“It does matter!”
“It’s very relevant!”
"It does matter! Down with the bad guys who are occupying the toilet without doing anything."
“.”
A series of objections suddenly rang out in dormitory 209.
It turns out that Wu Runfu, Chen Sihai and others were pretending to be asleep.
"Go away~"
Li Ye took off his socks and threw them out, hitting two people in the face.
Then Li Ye took out another envelope and threw it to Sun Xianjin.
"I have prepared a set of etiquette for you. Don't treat yourself badly when you get to Moscow, but don't do anything rash either."
Sun Xianjin took the envelope, opened it and saw that it was full of foreign currency.
"Brother, I'm not short of money."
"Are you going to be polite to me?"
Sun Xianjin grinned and immediately put it in his pocket.
He and Li Ye are not polite! Two brothers, why should we be polite?
Wu Runfu and Chen Sihai climbed down from the bed.
"Brother, we're welcome too."
"Yes, yes, yes. We promise you're welcome. Brother, please give us one too."
Obviously, the two of them are several years older than Li Ye, yet they feel no pressure in calling him brother.
Li Ye lay down on the bed comfortably and said calmly: "Then you have to work hard. Chengyi is for friends who are traveling far away. If you are just hanging around at home, don't ask for it!"
"Okay, okay, a promise is made, maybe it will be our turn next year!"
"Brother, go to sleep! I'll wash your socks for you."
“.”
. . . . . . . .
The next morning, Li Ye and Wen Leyu had breakfast in the cafeteria.
Wen Leyu sipped the rice porridge in small sips and said casually: "The day before yesterday, our class sent off a few international students. Many people cried, and some even dared to make their final confession."
Li Ye looked up at Wen Leyu and said calmly, "No one in our class confessed. Besides, I lent Zhen Rongrong several thousand dollars last night, with an annual interest rate of 3%."
Wen Leyu was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "I can understand that you lend her money, but how can you have the nerve to ask for interest?"
While eating, Li Ye said incoherently: "She doesn't want interest or money. She is just like you, too stubborn."
"I want to be strong"
Wen Leyu only uttered half a sentence hesitantly, because she remembered that after she came into contact with Li Ye, she took it for granted to eat at the Erliang store, and then took it for granted to get this and that, but she really could not be described as "strong-willed".
Li Ye swallowed the last mouthful of rice porridge and asked Wen Leyu seriously: "Are you wondering why I didn't ask you for interest when I gave you so many benefits?"
Wen Leyu nodded obediently, so cute.
Li Ye touched Wen Leyu's head and sighed, "Fool, you are the interest! Your entire being is my interest."
“.”
Wen Leyu blushed. Although she had already "talked it out" with Li Ye and they both knew that each other would be lifelong companions, such words still made her blush.
"Pah, you really are an economics major, and you are good at calculating."
Li Ye was in a good mood. In his life goal of "making money and amusing Xiaoyu", the pleasure of amusing Xiaoyu far exceeded that of making money.
"Hello, Li Ye, I am Cheng Muye from the Department of Chemistry."
An annoying uninvited guest suddenly sat next to Li Ye, interrupting Li Ye's fun.
Li Ye looked at him carefully and confirmed that he did not know him.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Oh, there is something," Cheng Muye said with a smile, "It's like this, I am the international student selected by the school this year, and I will be going to the other side of the ocean in two months. I heard that classmate Li Ye has received royalties from Hong Kong Island, so I hope hehe~"
Li Ye looked at Cheng Muye who was hesitant to speak, and asked politely: "Do you want to exchange some foreign currency with me? How much do you want to exchange?"
Cheng Muye pursed his lips and said awkwardly, "I just want to borrow a thousand dollars from you, Li Ye."
“.”
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little dazed. He felt that Cheng Muye in front of him seemed to have become a colleague from that year.
They are so similar.
That colleague also shyly asked me to borrow money, and then left without any warning.
Later, Li Ye found out that he had borrowed money from all his colleagues.
People who actively ask you to borrow money and people who actively want to give you money but refuse to accept it are not the same kind of people.
If you make good connections today, you will reap good results in the future.
Li Ye came to Peking University to make friends, but not to make steamed meat buns!
