Chapter 681 We Are Poor, but We Are Not Weak

In the early morning, Li Ye woke up in his dormitory at Beijing University, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

In the last month at the lighthouse, Wen Leyu would knock on the door every morning, and then the two of them would go to the stable to clean up.

Li Ye was responsible for shoveling horse manure, and Wen Leyu was responsible for packing saddles, stirrups and other riding equipment. Then the young couple stepped on the dew to welcome the morning sun. In just over a month, both of them mastered basic riding skills.

Now that he has returned to Beijing University, Li Ye is not used to the sudden laziness.

"No. 4, No. 6, what time is it?"

"."

Li Ye shouted several times, but no one answered.

He sat up and saw that he was the only one left in the dormitory.

Li Ye took out his watch and looked at it, and found that it was only seven o'clock.

Graduation is approaching and everyone is busy.

Li Ye lazily got up and washed up, and wandered all the way to the canteen. He saw that Wen Leyu had already eaten by himself.

Opposite Wen Leyu, there were several breakfast items that Li Ye was accustomed to eating.

Li Ye sat down carelessly, picked up the buns and started eating. His appetite was as good as ever.

"Why is it so early today? Didn't you sleep in bed last night?"

Wen Leyu smiled and pushed his half bowl of millet porridge to Li Ye.

"No, I'm fine sleeping! I just arrived too."

After this trip to the lighthouse, Wen Leyu began to change.

In the past, if Li Ye didn't go to the canteen on time to meet Wen Leyu in the morning, she would wait stupidly at the door of the canteen, and would get angry and stop eating if she couldn't wait.

But now, Wen Leyu will prepare everything in advance.

What's this? This is the rhythm of the transformation from a gentle and sweet girlfriend to a virtuous housewife!

While Li Ye was eating, he asked, "How was your chat with your classmates last night when you returned to the dormitory?"

"Very good," Wen Leyu said proudly: "I shared the notes I compiled with them, and everyone said I was a good enough friend."

Wen Leyu went to the lighthouse, not just for tourism. In addition to acting as a translator and assistant for Li Ye, she also took the time to collect and summarize many "irregular usages" of English.

You can never learn the essence of another language when you study it in a foreign country. When Wen Leyu first arrived at Lighthouse, she was even a little confused because the accent and grammar of the people in Lighthouse were different from what she studied in university.

Not to mention situations like "I admire your ability very much," which can be summarized as "cow ratio".

Li Ye thought about it for a while and suddenly said: "Xiaoyu, look! Now more and more of us are studying abroad or going abroad for business. Wouldn't it be convenient if we could master some of the most frequently used common expressions proficiently?"

"While you haven't graduated yet and still have time, are you interested in writing a simple popular English reading book that summarizes simple sentences about clothing, food, housing, and transportation, such as how to ask for directions, how to order food, and how to Take a car or something.”

Wen Leyu looked at Li Ye silently and said after a few seconds: "You can do this job yourself, why are you giving it to me? Are you asking me to earn royalties?"

In the first month after Li Ye met Wen Leyu, he started to earn royalties with Wen Leyu, and he made money along the way. At the beginning, Wen Leyu just liked to "cook" around Li Ye.

But look at it now, with such a huge piece of cake, didn’t everyone get it from the beginning?

But Li Ye replied instantly: "My money is yours, isn't your money mine? What's wrong? I can't spend the royalties you earn?"

"Yeah, yeah~, of course I am willing to do it if you say so, let's do it! When I finish writing it, you can give it a title, and it will count as co-edited by us, but this time I am the main writer, hehe."

Wen Leyu immediately agreed. The two of them were about to become a small family. They couldn't just let a male laborer make money, they had to work hard themselves.

"It's a good name. It can be either 600 sentences or 800 sentences in English. And you can discuss this with Auntie. Don't just do it for the purpose of making money!"

"."

In the 1980s, once a certain book became a hit, the sales volume was extremely terrifying, such as the No. 1 "Pang Zhonghua Copybook".

It’s easy to make money with books like Nine Hundred Sentences in English, but it’s also not difficult to earn “famousness”.

. . . . . . .

After breakfast, Li Ye went to the classroom. As soon as he reached the door, he listened to a group of classmates who had "reunion" talking to each other about their experiences in the past two months.

"This internship I was assigned to the sales department of the unit. I followed my master every day to understand the market situation. In fact, it was to collect debts. You don't know the current financial situation of the unit. It's a mess!

Suppose our company is Party A, and Party B owes us money, but we owe Party C money, and Party C owes Party A money, and the back and forth is endless."

"In the past two months, I have spent one month on a hard seat on a train. Thinking back to the time when I first went to school, I really hoped that the train would never end, but now my butt hurts as soon as I get on the train."

"Xiang Weiguo, you are much better than me. I was assigned to a government agency, and the level is high enough. But in the past two months, I have learned how to drink tea and read newspapers. I really want to learn something, but Everyone reads newspapers to study the economic situation, do you make me stand out?”

"."

Listening to the complaints of these classmates, Li Ye knew that this was just a microcosm of today's mainland economy.

Triangular debts and redundant agencies are both difficult problems to solve. Even if two newly graduated students are brilliant, they will not make a sound if thrown in.

"Hi, Li Ye is back, our great foreign student is back~"

"Really, look, this foreign bread and milk is nourishing. Li Ye is fatter than before and his complexion is better"

"Go away, don't talk nonsense! I'm not an international student, and if I let you eat bread and milk for two months, you will vomit."

Li Ye laughed and joked with several classmates. He didn't eat much bread and milk in the past two months. That thing sounds good, but if Li Ye had to eat bread and sauce like those lighthouse people, he would have to go home in two weeks.

"Okay, everyone, stop telling these jokes,"

Chen Xiaoling came over and asked, "Li Ye, the class monitor wrote to us, saying that your internship at the lighthouse is very flexible. You have been to both the East Coast and the West Coast. It is easier for you to see what a real lighthouse looks like than her. Tell us about it!"

The classmates around also gathered around.

At this moment, the lighthouse is really known as the top of the world and the light of civilization. Everyone is full of yearning and desire for that land, and even some real experiences are very interesting.

Li Ye thought for a while and said: "The lighthouse is indeed very developed now, especially in finance and technology research and development. There are too many things we need to learn. We should face this problem and strive to catch up."

"I have been to Boston and Silicon Valley. There are hundreds of technology research and development companies there, which are very different from our inland research institute system.

New companies are established every day there, and old companies go bankrupt. The competition is very fierce and cruel."

Li Ye talked a lot about the lighthouse, which made people around him yearn for it.

Li Ye pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "I have finished talking about the lighthouse in my eyes. Now I will tell you a few words about us in the eyes of the lighthouse people, how about it?"

"."

The classmates around were stunned for a moment, and their expressions were not very natural.

Li Ye asked curiously: "What's with that expression?"

Chen Xiaoling pursed her lips and said: "Li Ye, tell me! Although we are backward, we are happy to accept criticism and criticism."

"Yeah, why do you think so?"

Li Ye said in surprise: "I don't know how ordinary people in the lighthouse see us, but the few millionaires I have met don't see us flower growers in this way.",

"."

Li Ye looked at the equally surprised classmates around him and said seriously: "In the eyes of the knowledgeable people in the lighthouse, our flower growers may be 'poor', but they are not 'weak' at all!"
