After landing on October 5, Xiao Zhen took Lee Boo-jin to Cambridge, Massachusetts on the East Coast as their first stop to visit MIT.
Jason's younger brother Jefferson and his half-mentor Professor Ross personally came to the airport to pick up their little genius.
After the two groups met, both invited Xiao Zhen to their homes. Xiao Zhen then told the two professors that they would have dinner at his villa in Boston tonight and taste authentic Chinese food.
He needed to adjust to the time difference, so the two of them could spend the afternoon fishing in his private lake to kill time.
Well, genius children are rich. They knew from the beginning that he was the author of the currently popular "Magic Age" and "National Treasure".
The two of them didn't act pretentiously and drove directly to the manor in Shaw Town, a suburb of Boston.
The estate was not large, covering over 500 acres, with a large private lake and 180 acres of water surface area. The rest was a farm, a sports hall, a main house, and workers' quarters. This was bought for him by his father. He walked in and saw a three-story American-style villa covering over 3,000 square meters.
After arranging a place for the guests to relax and rest, Xiao Zhen took Lee Boo-jin to live in another bedroom next to the master bedroom on the third floor.
The group was so tired that Xiao Zhen said goodbye and went to bed to sleep soundly.
After all, he was still young, so he was the last one to wake up. By the time he woke up and opened the curtains, it was already 7:00 PM local time.
I went downstairs and was having dinner. The chef here was selected by his father from among the local second-generation Chinese.
The master chef of Cantonese cuisine is from Xiaozhen, so Jason has to take care of the reception.
Luo Jiawen is good at simple spoken language, but he is a bit confused when it comes to complex ones.
You only regret not having read enough books when you need them. This is Luo Jiawen's profound experience. Smart and capable people in China become dumb when they come abroad. All they can do is smile, say yes or no, or else say thank you or sorry.
You can make money from treasury bonds, and this month we got 2 million more than last month, but you can't even talk to great intellectuals from abroad. Lao Luo now understands why their old company commander asked his subordinates to keep learning.
After dinner, some people drank tea or coffee at the open-air teahouse.
"Xiao, how long are you staying this time? You're such a serious kid. But since you're working illegally there, I suggest you add a few white American bodyguards to be on the safe side.
Don't bother examining this place. Boston's security is terrible, on par with Chicago and Miami, Florida. "Professor Ross said
"Professor, isn't Miami a coastal tourist city? Why is it so chaotic?" Xiao Zhen was a little surprised.
“Let me tell you, the Cuban refugees are overflowing with criminals and dissidents from Cuba.
After the Bay of Pigs incident, the Cuban leader released everything at once, and these guys came here to make money.
Of course, objectively speaking, there are some highly qualified talents, but they are very few. The rest are all ruffians, criminals, and blind followers.
You can imagine the public security situation. It’s hard to control it.” Ross said depressedly.
"This is clearly out of control. A few years ago, there were also many hooligans in Seoul, South Korea," said Lee Boo-jin.
"So Chicago is really the legendary Chicago where typewriters are everywhere and the mafia is rampant?" Xiao Zhen asked, just chatting.
"That was around World War II, when typewriters were rampant and bootleggers were running amok.
It was even more chaotic a few years ago. Anyway, don't go out after dark. It's too dangerous. You're small, and even if you're good at fighting, you're not as fast as a bullet!" Jefferson said.
"I understand. Thank you, teachers. Sorry for bothering you." Xiao Zhen said
"By the way, have you finished writing National Treasure? Do you plan to write a more profound work?" Ross asked.
"Teacher Ross, I have already finished writing 12 volumes of National Treasure and the 8th volume of Age of Magic. I am planning to take a break. Teacher Ross, you wouldn't want to see it first, would you?" Xiao Zhen asked with a smile.
"I think so, but sometimes it feels better to wait a little longer." Ross has a good attitude...
Starting from the next day, Xiao Zhen followed Ross's advice and found a professional bodyguard to follow him, Lee Boo-jin and Luo Jiawen. Together with the Chinese or international students who had been contacted in advance by Jefferson and others, they began to observe their lives.
Well, those who are good at studying and have scholarships don’t worry about living expenses and tuition fees at all.
But people are blindly following others and it would seem inappropriate if you don't sweep the floor or wash the dishes while others are doing the same.
There are also some people with higher academic levels who work on projects with professors, and their lives are very fulfilling.
If you go to Chinatown in New York and other places and come into contact with more illegal profits, that would be a sin.
With the boss's permission, Xiao Zhen took some photos. Of course, Xiao Zhen also visited some high-level Chinese people with the introduction of the Zhi Gong Party.
That is, those Chinese and Chinese Americans who are doing well. Most of them came to the United States before and after World War II, before and after the liberation, and after Kong Yige passed away.
Life without money is very concrete, while for those with money, no matter how good the scenery is, there is always an invisible wall.
However, there was one thing that shocked Xiao Zhen quite a bit. After the development of the two bombs and one satellite, many Europeans and Americans did look at Chinese people differently. Xiao Zhen knew that this was what he truly had.
This is the confidence of a nation. The reason why Lee Boo-jin followed along was that she also visited various places in Korean-American communities to see how Korean-Americans are living in the United States.
Xiao Zhen took his private plane and trailer with Lee Boo-jin to Paris, Rome and London to see the living conditions in the local Chinese communities.
Then, after returning to Boston, Ross also gave him the investigation report and information that cost $150,000.
In front of Professor Ross, Xiao Zhen said that Lee, who was on the inspection tour with him, really wanted to study at MIT, and explained the huge influence of Lee Boo-jin's family in South Korea. Ross immediately understood that it was just a letter of recommendation.
Ross invited Xiao Zhenlai to give a professional academic seminar on the Poincare conjecture at MIT.
Xiao Zhen also thought that he would be returning to China soon anyway, so he agreed. However, he notified his full-time agent, Cai Meiyun, to come to Boston to handle these matters.
The day before the academic conference, after dinner, Lee Boo-jin told Xiao Zhen that "The Heirs" was a hot seller in South Korea and had sold 2.2 million copies.
After thanking her, Xiao Zhen told Lee Boo-jin that Professor Ross had agreed to write a letter of recommendation for her study abroad, so she returned home with peace of mind and waited for the notification letter.
The next day, Xiao Zhen gave a three-and-a-half-hour academic lecture on the Poincaré conjecture in front of members of the American Mathematical Society at the MIT Academic Auditorium. After the lecture, the American Mathematical Society awarded him a mathematics award.
Lee Boo-jin looked at the little boy with stars in her eyes the whole time. It was really amazing. Her role today was a personal assistant.
After a day of rest, Xiao Zhenhe and his team first sent Lee Boo-jin back to Seoul, and the group then returned to Shanghai from the port city.
