Chapter 258
Qiao Jiahui, "What are you shouting about?"
"Call dad."
Qiao Jiahui's face turned green, "Liang Rui, please stop being so senior."
Jiang Meishu chuckled, then realized her laughter was inappropriate, so she went to lecture Liang Rui, "This is your Uncle Qiao, don't yell at him."
Only then did Liang Rui politely call out, "Uncle Qiao."
Qiao Jiahui stopped being reckless and responded calmly. He really realized that Liang Rui's brain was too active and he was led into a ditch by him accidentally.
How could he have known that Liang Rui, who was a poor student back then, would turn around and become a top student in just over two years and be admitted to National Tsing Hua University? This showed that his IQ was quite high.
It’s really easy to set a trap for Qiao Jiahui.
Seeing Liang Rui obediently calling him Uncle Qiao, Qiao Jiahui finally gave up. After Liang Rui went to pack his luggage, Qiao Jiahui whispered to Jiang Meishu, "Your kid is a bit cunning."
He was almost tricked into it.
Jiang Meishu coughed lightly. "This kid's got a sharp mind. You should be more careful when you talk to him from now on. But don't worry, I'll also warn him not to make fun of you."
After hearing this, Qiao Jiahui's old face turned red. He just felt that every generation has its own talents. He thought that Qiao Jiahui, who had been smart all his life, was fooled by Liang Rui, a junior.
I'm so sorry.
Jiang Meishu saw through it but didn't say anything. But after about ten minutes, Liang Rui came out with his luggage and said, "I'm ready. We can leave."
Jiang Meishu nodded, "Let's go, your dad will drive to the port."
Liang Rui suddenly felt excited. He had long wanted to go to Hong Kong, but had been delayed for various reasons. Now he had the opportunity to see the prosperous Hong Kong.
How could he not be excited?
Liang Qiurun drove Jiang Meishu, Liang Rui and Qiao Jiahui to the port. After they arrived.
Liang Qiurun took out the documents he had applied for and handed them to the customs officer. After the inspection, he led Liang Rui to queue up for customs.
This was Liang Rui's first time in Hong Kong, so everything around him was new to him. He couldn't help but look around and asked, "What are we doing?"
Why do I have to queue so long just to go to Hong Kong?
If you don’t know, you might think they are fighting over meat in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Jiang Meishu explained to him in a low voice, "To get to Hong Kong, you have to go through customs. Once you hand in your ID and it passes inspection, we'll take the main road to Hong Kong."
What he meant was that they had smuggled through before, but this time Liang Rui was going there to study, so he naturally couldn't smuggle himself through, so Liang Qiurun specially helped him get the documents to pass through.
After all, we can't let Liang Rui, who is going to study, sneak across the border. That would be unreasonable.
Liang Rui understood her implication and immediately raised his eyebrows. Without saying anything, he followed the long line to the end.
After passing through customs, he looked back and said, "There are so many people coming to Hong Kong."
The queue is so long that you can't even see the end.
It was pitch black everywhere.
Jiang Meishu hummed, "They are all here to pan for gold."
Just like people going south, people coming to Hong Kong are no exception.
"Are we already in Hong Kong?"
Liang Rui asked curiously. The customs clearance procedures are so complicated. It would be strange if they haven't arrived yet.
"That's a nice thought."
"Why didn't you check the map before you came? It takes another hour and a half to get from Pengcheng Port to Xiangjiang by car."
"We are just passing through the border. We will wait here for a while and a car will come to pick us up."
"Of course it's not your father's or mine. It's the car that came to pick you up, Uncle Qiao."
As soon as Jiang Meishu finished speaking, Qiao Jiahui subconsciously straightened his chest. He was thinking that Liang Rui would ask a few more questions, but he didn't expect that Liang Rui didn't ask.
This made Qiao Jiahui feel frustrated as if he was showing off halfway but it came to an abrupt end.
In the end, he couldn't help but said, "Liang Rui, why don't you ask me, your uncle?"
He was so arrogant that he let Liang Rui call him Uncle Qiao. Listening to Qiao Jiahui's tone, he was even a little out of breath.
Liang Rui coughed lightly and said, "I know Uncle Qiao is the son of a wealthy family. He is very rich, so naturally his family has no shortage of cars."
Qiao Jiahui raised his chin and said, "That's right. When your Uncle Qiao was your age, he already had five cars."
Liang Rui couldn't help but twitch his lips at this, "That's really impressive." Then, he changed the subject, "But, Uncle Qiao, I'm not bad either. I've already graduated from National Tsing Hua University and am now studying for a master's degree in Hong Kong."
have to.
It hit Qiao Jiahui's weak spot all at once. You should know that Qiao Jiahui's biggest shortcoming is that he is uneducated and illiterate.
He stopped talking for a moment.
He didn't want to pay any attention to Liang Rui until the car that came to pick him up arrived. Liang Rui touched his nose and changed the subject, "Uncle Qiao, after I graduate from Hong Kong University, I will work for you. Do you want to?"
It must be said that Liang Rui is good at coaxing people. These two sentences immediately made Qiao Jiahui smile from ear to ear. "Okay, your uncle Qiao needs people like you here."
He thought complacently, so what if I am uneducated?
Elites like Liang Rui still work for him, don’t they?
When he thought of this, Qiao Jiahui suddenly felt balanced.
Liang Rui, who had observed his expression from beginning to end, was a little surprised and a little amused. He turned his head to look at Jiang Meishu and said silently, "Is my Uncle Qiao really that stupid?"
How can you coax someone into the state of a placenta with just a few words?
Jiang Meishu coughed lightly and said, "Your Uncle Qiao is a simple man. Don't make fun of him next time."
After her reminder, Qiao Jiahui finally realized that he had been deceived by Liang Rui. He couldn't help but glare at him, "Well, Liang Rui, you kid dare to make fun of your elders."
Liang Rui naturally refused to admit it. He looked innocent and said, "No, Uncle Qiao, I really plan to come to you after graduation."
"You also know that I'm still out there making money selling things on the street. How can I earn money selling things on the street as well as following Uncle Qiao?"
"Don't you think so, Uncle Qiao?"
With just a few words, Qiao Jiahui was coaxed away.
Even Jiang Meishu was a little stunned. Liang Rui was not the rebellious and unruly person. When did he become so eloquent?
By the time they got off the car, Liang Rui and Qiao Jiahui had become good brothers, even though they were of different generations. Qiao Jiahui kept saying, "If you stay in Hong Kong in the future, I will definitely protect you."
"Thank you, Uncle Qiao, for your support."
"Without you, I don't know what to do."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Jiang Meishu deliberately fell behind. She whispered to Liang Qiurun, "When did my Liang Rui become so cunning?"
Liang Qiurun thought for a moment and said, "He has always been like this. It's just that when he was young, he was like he had thorns. Now that he has grown up, he has become much more calm."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
You call this calm?
How can this be called calm?
However, seeing Liang Qiurun's convinced look, Jiang Meishu didn't know what to say. Fortunately, they arrived at the gate of Hong Kong University.
Qiao Jiahui was in the passenger seat, and he didn't know what he showed to the guard, but the other party didn't even look for Liang Rui, the genuine student, and let them in directly.
This brought about a new change in Liang Rui's view of Qiao Jiahui's influence in Hong Kong.
"What's your instructor's name?"
After entering the school, Qiao Jiahui asked this question.
When talking about serious matters, Qiao Jiahui lost some of his silly temperament. Of course, the only people who could describe the young master of the Qiao family as silly were the people in the car.
Young Master Qiao outside is able to call the wind and rain.
"My surname is Ming, and my name is Ming Qingyuan."
A very nice name.
When Liang Rui learned his mentor's name, he remembered it immediately.
"It's him." Even though Qiao Jiahui was uneducated, he knew Ming Qingyuan's name. "When my third sister was studying for her master's degree, she wanted to be his student, but she didn't pass the exam."
"He's one of the few relatively honest professors at Hong Kong University," he added, "and he doesn't accept gifts."
At the beginning, his third sister tried to impress Professor Ming Qingyuan with worldly gifts, but the other party was unmoved. If she didn't pass the exam, she didn't pass it, even if the department head came.
In the end, Sister Qiao San had no choice but to give up.
However, because of this, Qiao Jiahui specially remembered Ming Qingyuan.
When Jiang Meishu heard this, she felt both admiration and worry. "You won't accept gifts?"
"Will our Liang Rui be bullied at school?"
She and Liang Qiurun also prepared a lot of gifts for the meeting, thinking that the rules in Hong Kong are different from those in the capital. They observed the etiquette so that Liang Rui would have someone to protect him at school.
"No, but that was in the past," Qiao Jiahui said. "As for whether he accepts gifts now, I don't know."
"You'll know once you get in."
Liang Qiurun made the final decision, "Drive the car in and take the gift from the trunk in. If he doesn't want it, then he doesn't want it. We can't refuse to give it to him."
This is a society based on personal relationships.
With Liang Qiurun's words, the car continued to move forward. On the way, the driver asked for directions and finally found Ming Qingyuan's office.
When the car stopped downstairs.
Liang Qiurun and Qiao Jiahui both went to the trunk to move things, while Jiang Meishu and Liang Rui followed empty-handed. Liang Rui followed the letter of introduction he brought with him, looked at the address on it, and finally went all the way to the third floor and stopped outside Professor Ming Qingyuan's office.
He took a deep breath and looked back. Liang Qiurun was holding the box, and Jiang Meishu was standing beside him, looking at him with a smile.
He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.
This gave Liang Rui silent courage. He finally calmed down and knocked on the door. After a while, a steady voice came from the office, "Come in."
Liang Rui pushed the door open and immediately saw Ming Qingyuan sitting behind the desk. He had gray hair, wore reading glasses, and had the air of an elegant scholar.
But the clothes he wore were very simple, and Liang Rui seemed to see the appearance of his teacher in him.
This made Liang Rui feel more at ease. He took out a letter of recommendation from his pocket and said, "Teacher Ming, I am Liang Rui, recommended by Professor Chen Yanbi of Tsinghua University. Here is my letter of introduction."
Ming Qingyuan immediately reacted, "Student Liang Rui?"
After he took the letter of introduction and read it, he stood up and shook hands with Liang Rui. "You and Chen Yanbi were college classmates. Since you are his favorite student, you will also be my favorite student in the future."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you come here in vain."
He was very sincere. This was Liang Rui's first impression. He was silent for a moment, put away his cynicism, and instead became somewhat calm and steady.
"Thank you, Teacher Ming."
"What's outside?"
Ming Qingyuan discovered that the figure standing outside seemed to want to know what was going on in the office.
Liang Rui looked back and then slowly said, "They are my parents and uncle. They were worried about me coming from the inland to study, so they sent me here."
Ming Qingyuan, "You have a very happy family."
"Let them in. Since they are your parents, let them meet with me, the teacher, and put their minds at ease."
Liang Rui breathed a sigh of relief and went out to call for help.
Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu came in together, but the box that was in Qiao Jiahui's hand was now in Jiang Meishu's hand.
Qiao Jiahui followed in behind him.
Ming Qingyuan did not know Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun, but he knew Qiao Jiahui, who was a well-known playboy in Hong Kong and often appeared in various entertainment tabloids in Hong Kong.
After Ming Qingyuan saw Qiao Jiahui's face clearly, he frowned slightly, "Liang Rui, do you know the Qiao family?"
Obviously, he had no good feelings towards the Qiao family.
"This is my Uncle Joe."
Liang Rui didn't explain much, just said this: his surname is Liang and the other party's surname is Qiao, so the relationship between them is naturally self-evident.
Ming Qingyuan's expression brightened a bit now. "Our school is dedicated to academics. Especially since you're under my name, you must study your majors diligently, write papers, and conduct experiments. Don't think of other devious ways."
The crooked Jiang Meishu, "..."
Her smile could hardly be maintained.
Woo woo.
This is referring to her by name.
Liang Qiurun remained calm and said, "Teacher Ming, this is a local specialty from our hometown. It's not expensive, but it's a gift from us parents. Please accept it."
Ming Qingyuan subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Liang Rui added quietly, "Teacher, I brought this from the capital. I traveled a full three thousand kilometers to bring it here."
“The gift may not be expensive, but the thought behind it is more precious.”
After hearing this, Ming Qingyuan couldn't refuse, but he also couldn't make an exception. "You can keep this for yourself. I don't need it."
Liang Rui glanced at Liang Qiurun and then said, "This box is of Dahongpao. It wasn't prepared by me or my parents, but by my teacher. He said he hadn't seen you in years and remembered that when we were teaching together, you loved drinking Dahongpao the most."
Ming Qingyuan was stunned when he heard this. His lips trembled slightly, and after a long while, he said, "Then put this box here."
He can accept gifts from old friends and classmates, but not from students.
Liang Rui heaved a sigh of relief and put down the Da Hong Pao, then took out another box. "This is what I brought over. It's pickled vegetables from Liubiju for you."
He opened the box, revealing two jars of pickled vegetables. "Look for yourself, these are just some pickled vegetables. They're not worth much, but they're the thought behind them."
"I carried it all the way from the capital, three thousand kilometers."
I just carried two jars of pickles.
Ming Qingyuan's mouth twitched. Looking at his student's simple face, he couldn't say no. "Then leave the pickles too."
"But it won't happen again."
Liang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, there won't be a next time." He was still eager to try, "Teacher, this pickled vegetable is very delicious. I always loved it before. I used to wrap it with pickled vegetables. He could eat three or five of them by himself."
Ming Qingyuan, "..."
See them chatting happily.
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun slowly retreated, and even Qiao Jiahui didn't dare to say a word, leaving the space inside to Liang Rui and Ming Qingyuan.
After coming out, she looked at the remaining gifts in the trunk, sighed, and said, "Fortunately, I listened to Liang Rui and brought the gifts he brought."
"Otherwise, with the cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and fish maw we've prepared, I'm afraid Professor Ming will definitely not accept them."
It was also Liang Qiurun's first time giving a gift, and he went straight to the horse's hoof. He looked back and said, "Teacher Ming is a good teacher."
"It's Liang Rui's blessing to have him."
Qiao Jiahui had never been disdained like this before, and he couldn't help but ask, "What about me?"
