Chapter 505: Fireside Chat

Li Qing's words not only moved Gu Chang, but also made Valentine fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Valentine sighed deeply, his slightly trembling lips showing his uneasiness. His eyes were wet because of Li Qing's words.

"Alas..." A long sigh, "Okay, I'll just treat it as a vacation. I... also want to see the red star."

What he was thinking about was that if Dongfang was not as good as Gu Chang and Li Qing said, he would come back even if he died.

At this time, in his heart, Oriental Spark is already another inheritance of the motherland!

After hearing Valentine's words, Li Qing and Gu Chang looked at each other and smiled.

Especially Gu Chang, as a professional, he knows that Valentine's value to the country is immeasurable.

"Don't worry, senior brother! It's up to you to go, and you will never be disappointed." Gu Chang grabbed Valentin's hands and said excitedly.

Valentine also nodded inexplicably.

With Valentine's help, the dismantling operation of "White Swan" went much smoother than expected.

Most of the key facilities were completed in just one week, and some have been separately loaded and unloaded onto ships and are now on their way home.

A few days later, all the equipment was shipped away, and Gu Chang and the engineers had time to take a rest.

Li Qing prepared a rich dinner for them.

Gu Chang was afraid that the students would be uncomfortable with his presence, so he directly took Li Qing and Valentine to sit down by the fire to chat with them with wine and food.

At the beginning of December, Ermao had officially entered the freezing period. Heavy snow fell like goose feathers in front of the window, and the fire reflected the faces of the three of them.

"Ah, I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time."

Gu Chang was holding a glass of wine and looking at the snowy scene outside the window, lost in thought. The last time he had a night chat around the fire was when Mao Xiong was studying abroad. In the blink of an eye, he was already seventy years old.

These people have been busy with their careers, and the country has been suffering from internal and external troubles. He is not qualified to enjoy a stable life, and he can't wait to spend every minute and every second on research.

Li Qing sat on the ground, leaning on the backrest and smiled: "Yes, I haven't calmed down yet.

Teacher Gu and Mr. Valentine, please stay with me for a while. "

Gu Chang picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Li Qing, and took a sip, "No, no! I'm afraid that if you stay here for a long time, you won't be able to miss Shu...ahem."

Gu Chang seemed to have choked on the strong wine and started coughing.

Li Qing stepped forward and patted his back gently. He felt that the old man was very thin and could clearly feel his spine.

Sima Sa had been paying attention to Gu Chang, and when he saw Gu Chang coughing, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Teacher, please drink less."

Gu Chang raised his head and glared at him, "Go back and drink!"

Sima Sa replaced Li Qing and patted Gu Chang a few times before going back.

At this time, Valentin also smiled and said: "Yes, you can't stay here for a long time. These are all sugar-coated bullets of capitalism."

Then the three of them stopped and laughed.

Then Jiu Jin and the others started chatting, talking about everything from capitalism to communism, from regional conflicts to international situations, from history and culture to alien invasion, and they talked about whatever they thought of without any scruples.

"Mr. Li Qing, I want to ask you a question. As a wealthy businessman, why are you so patriotic? You obviously don't have to worry about these things..." Valentin spread his hands and asked.

Li Qing knew that Valentine meant to ask him why he did these thankless things.

These are not only thankless, but also relatively risky things.

Gu Chang put down the wine glass in his hand and tilted his head to look at Li Qing, obviously curious about this question.

He has seen many patriotic people, and there are indeed very few people like Li Qing who don't care about personal gains and losses.

Li Qing chuckled and looked at the flames in the fireplace in silence for a moment, "Me? I'm not for anyone, I'm for myself!"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them were even more curious. They knew that everything Li Qing had done was far beyond the scope of a patriot.

Gu Chang and Valentine didn't speak, waiting for Li Qing's next words.

"If something I do can affect the motherland and help the motherland, maybe...maybe I didn't come to this world in vain."

This sentence sounded like an answer to Valentine's question, so it was not what Li Qing said to himself.

There is nothing he can do in the other world, but if he is capable in this parallel world, he must change some things within his own capabilities.

Listening to the "crackling" sound of burning wood, Li Qing drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Gu Chang and Valentine nodded thoughtfully after listening to Li Qing's words.

"Come, cheers for ourselves and our ideals!"

Gu Chang raised his wine glass and said to Li Qing and Valentine.

Li Qing had a black line on his face, "No, you two didn't drink just now?"

"Haha... you didn't say cheers, you were bored, who's to blame?"

"that is."

"..." Li Qing looked at the two little old men who were smiling like children speechlessly, and poured himself another glass.

Amid laughter and laughter, the dinner lasted until late.

...

It snowed all night. Almost everyone woke up at noon the next day and hurried to the airport after lunch.

"Teacher Gu, do you really want to stay for a few more days?" Li Qing advised again.

He still hopes that Gu Chang can stay for a longer period of time. Through this period of communication, he likes this somewhat stubborn little old man.

In Li Qing's opinion, this old man and Mr. Huo have different personalities. Mr. Huo is always gentle and polite, and he always looks calm and indifferent when facing anything.

Gu Chang is different. He always speaks directly. It's not that he doesn't understand the ways of the world, but he doesn't want to waste time on these aspects.

"Haha... No! It's too cold here, I can't get used to it. Ah Qing, you must tell me when you arrive in Beijing. The braised pork in the institute is quite delicious." Gu Chang said with a smile.

"Oh? Then I have to try it." Li Qing agreed with a smile.

"Mr. Valentine, you can also call me if you need anything in China." Li Qing said to Valentine.

Valentine smiled and nodded.

This sentence made Gu Chang glare at him, "What's the matter with me? Can my senior brother be wronged in China?

Okay, let's go!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the private plane prepared by Li Qing, but seemed to have forgotten something, and turned his head and walked to Li Qing's side.

"Take care, Ah Qing! The country will not forget any meritorious service!" After that, Gu Chang opened his arms and hugged Li Qing, which was rare.

Li Qing could clearly feel the old man's frailty, "Teacher Gu, take care of yourself. Don't forget, if I lose in 20 years, I will give you a plane that is better than the Tu-160."

"I remember! Let's go, let's go...!" Gu Chang patted Li Qing's arm and smiled.

Only when the plane disappeared did Li Qing turn around and leave with his men.
