Chapter 440 British Chick Arya

After nearly forty-eight hours, Duffy finally got in touch with the British chick who did the design.

The other party was in Nepal at this time, and he was going to hike to the Mount Everest area on the Nepalese side, but he had to retreat because of the high reaction. After resting in the hospital for a few days, he finally recovered.

Originally, the girl's idea was to hike for seven to ten days in the Everest region of Nepal, and then enter China by land from Nepal to start her own trip to China, but because of the high resistance, she decided to fly from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, to China. However, there are very few domestic routes from Kathmandu to China. She is worried about the high reaction and dare not fly directly to Lhasa, so she is planning to borrow a Dhaka or transit in Bangkok.

Before deciding on the route, the British chick went online to report her safety to her family, and as a result, she received Duffy's MSN message.

Duffy told her that a friend in China wanted to design an MP3 and entrusted him to help find a talented industrial designer, so he thought of her.

Because the British girl couldn't enter China by land, and the plane had to transfer to another country, the cost increased a lot, and she was a little short of money. When she heard that Duffy introduced her to a part-time job, she agreed without any hesitation. down.

After Duffy and her confirmed the details, they called and told Li Mu of these things.

After listening, Li Mu asked, "When will this British chick come to China? Is the first stop Yanjing?"

Duffy said: "Don't call them British chicks, they have names."

Li Mu hummed, "I know she has a name, but you didn't tell me."

Duffy said: "Her name is Arya, Arya, Arya. Johnson, she is going to take a plane to Bangkok tomorrow, and then fly to Yanjing from Bangkok, and it should be the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Mu said, "Tell me the flight number and I'll pick her up at the airport."

Duffy said: "People say it's okay to design an MP3, but it costs $20,000 to design it."

Li Mu said with a smile, "What I lack right now is talent, and the most important thing is money."

Duffy smiled and said, "Just blow it."

Li Mu said: "Really, if you are thirsty for talent, you almost have to go to a tattoo parlor to have six words tattooed on your forehead: stupid, rich, come quickly."

For the first time, Duffy heard the stalk of people who are stupid and money coming so quickly.

On the phone laughing back and forth, he recovered after a while and said, "I'll go back to join you after a while. I hope you're really like what you said, people are stupid and have a lot of money!"

"necessary."

...

In the afternoon two days later, Li Mu held up a big sign in front of the exit of Terminal 2 of Capital Airport, with a string of English on it: Arya.Johnson.

After the flight from Bangkok to Yanjing landed, a large number of people of various races gradually poured out from the exit. Li Mu held a sign and waited for 20 minutes, a young white woman about 1.73 meters tall and slightly thin. Standing in front of Li Mu, he said something in very unfamiliar Chinese: "Nihao..."

Li Mu turned his head and saw that this girl was tall and thin, with blond hair and blue eyes, with a charming face, quite like the American actor Blake Lively, the S in Gossip Girl, and the female star who later had an affair with Xiao Lizi.

The girl was carrying a huge and scary mountaineering bag, with a sleeping bag and a pair of hiking shoes hanging under it. At first glance, she looked like a typical backpacker.

Just as Li Mu wanted to ask her if she was Arya.Johnson, she pointed to the name on the sign, then pointed to herself, and said, "Excuse-me, Im-Arya.Johnson, are-you-Mr.Lee?"

When Li Mu heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes-I-am, Great-to-see-you." After speaking, Li Mu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Arya gently.

Arya finally breathed a sigh of relief and said in English: "I heard Duffy introduce you to your situation. I will stay in Huaxia for a while this time, and help you solve the MP3 design work first."

Li Mu nodded and offered to help her with the backpack, then went to the parking lot.

Arya said embarrassedly: "This bag is too heavy, I'll do it myself."

Li Mu smiled and said, "In China, if a man walks with a woman with such a big bag empty-handed, everyone will despise him. People will say that he is not a gentleman."

Arya stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Well, no matter what, I can't let a gentleman be misunderstood." After that, she took off the huge backpack and handed it to Li Mu.

The moment Li Mu took the backpack and felt the weight on his hand, he was secretly surprised. This backpack must weigh at least 30 to 40 pounds. It is really admirable for a girl to run around the world with such a heavy backpack.

After getting in the car, Li Mu said to Arya while driving, "I've booked a hotel room for you. I'll take you to the hotel later, put your things down, rest and let's go have dinner together."

Arya hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Mr. Li, you don't have to be so polite. I'm used to living in a youth hostel, so I don't need to live in a hotel so wasteful..."

Li Mu said beyond doubt: "It's your choice what you like when you are a backpacker yourself, but since you are here in Yanjing, you are my guest, I can't let my guest go to a youth hostel, not to mention, If you want to work, you also need a quiet and comfortable environment.”

Arya still wanted to refuse, but remembered what Duffy had explained about Chinese hospitality and the characteristics of Chinese men's machismo, so she did not refute any further.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Li Mu learned from Arya that she was 24 years old and has been traveling around the world since graduation. More than a dozen different countries, all the way from North America to South America, from Argentina to the Antarctic with the docking port to supply the scientific research ship, and from the Antarctic to Africa, and then all the way north along Africa to Europe, Western Europe to Eastern Europe, and then from Moscow. From the Black Sea to Turkey, and then to Asia, she has experienced countless customs and customs along the way. Whenever the money is not enough, she stops to find a part-time job, or take a design job, save enough money to continue her journey.

While admiring the courage and perseverance of the other party, Li Mu also secretly rejoiced, saying that fortunately, he had practiced English well in his previous life, and there was no obstacle to communication.

Li Mu asked her why she did not choose to work after graduation, but chose to travel the world in such a hard way.

She replied: "I don't think it's very hard, but I think it's very fulfilling. When I've traveled all over the place I want to go, I'll go back to my hometown in the UK and write down my travel experience in peace. book."

Li Mu then said, "You must give me a copy then."

Arya stuck her tongue out and said, "I don't even know if I'll be able to publish it when I write it."

Li Mu smiled and said, "If it can't be published, you can send me the electronic version."

Arya giggled and agreed, "Well then, I'll send you a copy then..."

The hotel Li Mu booked for Arya was a five-star hotel on Chang'an Street. Li Mu booked a business suite in advance and paid a sufficient deposit in advance to ensure Arya's accommodation in the hotel and daily billing consumption.

Since Li Mu started his business, his attitude towards talents has always been to adopt a high premium approach. It is not because he has money and nowhere to spend. The most important thing is to consider the future. The more you earn, the premise is that you have a strong team to support. As long as it is a talent, Li Mu is willing to give a higher price than others and a higher courtesy than others. A real talent will always make you earn more than you spend, and the more you spend. , often earn more.

Arya has been out for so long, this is the first time she has met a caring and thoughtful person like Li Mu. Although the other party has work to be done by himself, what he has done has already exceeded the scope of work remuneration, which makes her a little flattered. Uneasy, but more moved.

Li Mu sent her to the door of the room, but did not mean to enter, but took out a huge kraft paper envelope from his pocket, which contained 10,000 yuan in cash, a brand-new Nokia mobile phone, and a A savings card with 50,000 deposits.

Li Mu said: "These cash can save you the trouble of exchanging RMB. If you need any consumption, you can choose to pay in cash or swipe your card. The password of the card is 123456. You can also withdraw cash from the ATM machine. The ATM machine has an English operation mode. , very simple, a Huaxia mobile phone card has been installed in the mobile phone, and the international phone service has been opened, you can use it to contact family and friends at any time, I have stored my number in it, if you need to contact me for anything , just call me directly."

Arya waved her hand quickly and said, "Mr. Li, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept this money..."

Li Mu said, "You can take it as your reward for the time being. If you haven't spent it all by the time you leave, I'll convert it into US dollars and make up the rest for you. That's okay, right?"

After Li Mu said this, Arya pondered for a while. She spent some of the money when she was ill, and also spent a lot of money when she came to Yanjing. Now all her belongings should be less than a thousand dollars. It's time to be brave, so she took the envelope from Li Mu's hands with both hands, put it in her heart, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Li, you are really kind!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "You go ahead and put your things, and you can take a bath and rest. It's 5 pm in Yanjing time, we plan to go to dinner at 7 pm, and I will wait for you in the hotel lobby at 7 o'clock. , I ordered the most famous Yanjing roast duck in Yanjing today, and let's try it together tonight."

Arya almost burst into tears after hearing this. Although she has always been a very independent and strong woman, this is the first time she has been so thoughtfully taken care of by someone other than her parents, so she suddenly discovered that she was taken care of by someone else. It feels so special, it's a very special beauty.

After Li Mu finished speaking, he didn't stay long. He waved his hand and turned around and went to the elevator. He took the elevator downstairs. He felt that Arya took more than 20 hours to transfer to Yanjing. She should be very tired at this time. She needs to Take a break first.
