Chapter 358 The atmosphere is really good
Because there were not many people, Liu Xinyu only booked a small private room.
When Liu Xinyu and her brother arrived at the hotel, Zhao Yanan and Gu Jincheng had not arrived yet, and neither had Zhang Hongliang.
The manager came out to greet the guests in person, which made Liu Xinyu quite helpless, but she could only accept the manager's kindness.
Although Liu Xinyu didn't spend much time with Zhao Yanan, she still knew Zhao Yanan's preferences relatively well.
In addition to liking some novel things, Zhao Yanan is also a standard foodie.
There are several dishes at Changchun Hotel that Zhao Yanan likes, but they are all relatively time-consuming, so Liu Xinyu ordered them first when booking a private room and asked the chef to prepare them first.
As for what Gu Jincheng wants to eat, let him order it himself when the others arrive.
Zhao Yanan and Gu Jincheng came together, and they arrived on time. Liu Xinyu made an appointment at six o'clock, and they entered the hotel on time at six o'clock, which made Liu Xinyu dumbfounded.
Zhang Hongliang arrived a little later than Zhao Yanan and Gu Jincheng, and I don't know what Zhang Baogen talked about with him. In short, although Zhang Hongliang had a smile on his face, it was a bit forced.
Liu Xinyu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.
Although I brought Zhang Hongliang with me today, it didn't mean anything. I just didn't want to embarrass myself too much. The relationship between them was not to the point where they had to pay attention to everything.
"I just ordered a few of Yanan's favorite dishes. Take a look and order whatever you like. Don't be polite to me." Liu Xinyu pushed the menu in front of Gu Jincheng and Zhao Yanan and motioned for them to order.
Zhao Yanan gave Liu Xinyu an angry look and pushed the menu back to Liu Xinyu: "You treat guests, of course you order. Where are the guests allowed to order?!"
Liu Xinyu rolled her eyes at Zhao Yanan, took the menu and started ordering, which shocked Zhao Yanan.
Are you treating them like pigs? Can you eat them all after ordering so much?
Zhao Yanan hurriedly grabbed the menu from Liu Xinyu's hand: "Okay, stop ordering! Let's order. Let's order. By the way, what dishes did you order? Don't order too much."
Liu Xinyu reported a few dish names, but Zhao Yanan was so happy that she smiled flatteringly at Liu Xinyu, then turned to Gu Jincheng to discuss which dishes would be better.
Gu Jincheng only ordered two more vegetarian dishes and closed the menu.
Liu Xinyu said she was very helpless. Today was a farewell party for them. Although the dishes she ordered for Zhao Yanan were all hard dishes, adding only two vegetarian dishes was definitely not enough. She had no choice but to ask Zhang Hongliang and Liu Xinjian to add some of their favorite dishes.
Compared to Gu Jincheng's coercion, Zhang Hongliang and Liu Xinjian were much more generous and each ordered their favorite dishes.
The meal didn't take long, but the atmosphere was good.
To Liu Xinyu's surprise, Gu Jincheng actually had a very lively chat with Liu Xinjian and Zhang Hongliang, and the conversation was actually about Gu Wei's ongoing research project.
Recently, Liu Xinjian has had little time to participate in Gu Wei's scientific research project.
First, Chen Zhaodi and the others came to the capital. They had to accompany two elderly people in their spare time. Finally, the two elderly people went back. They also had to assist Liu Xinyu in translating computer books. They were really busy.
Of course, even if he is less involved, Liu Xinjian is still very concerned about that scientific research project. When he saw Gu Jincheng today, he couldn't help but ask Gu Wei about the recent progress of the project.
Although Gu Jincheng did not apply for the mechanical major as his parents wanted, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, and his understanding of mechanical aspects is much better than ordinary people. In addition, Professor Gu Wei and Professor Qiao also discuss some projects they are researching at home, so Gu Jincheng is very interested in Gu.
Wei is relatively familiar with the ongoing projects.
It just so happened that Zhang Hongliang was also working on a research project of the same type as Gu Wei's, both targeting the integrated circuit control board Liu Xinyu brought back from the UK, so the three of them chatted more and more passionately.
Liu Xinyu happened to have something to ask Zhao Yanan, so the five of them divided into two small groups and chatted while eating. The atmosphere was really good.
"Don't worry, I will take time to collect it for you as soon as I get there, and you just wait to receive it." Zhao Yanan pulled Liu Xinyu and said when they parted.
What Liu Xinyu asked Zhao Yanan for help was to help send some original books to China, whether they were novels or textbooks. Of course, it would be best if they were the latest published textbooks, no matter what major!
Liu Xinyu knew that it would not be easy for ordinary people to collect teaching materials and send them back, but Zhao Yanan, as an attaché of the embassy, should have certain immunity.
Even if she doesn't have it, she can find someone with immunity at the embassy to help mail it.
Of course, Liu Xinyu was not sure that this was feasible, so she could only let Zhao Yanan try it.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to send textbooks back. When I came back, I only brought my own books, and I wasn't allowed to bring any more." Zhang Hongliang listened to the general idea and said to Liu Xinyu after returning home.
Liu Xinyu knew it was not easy, so she wanted to take advantage of Zhao Yanan's identity.
It's best if we can do it, and there's nothing we can do if we can't do it.
However, novels shouldn't be a big problem. She made a reading list for Zhao Yanan. She also wanted to see Zhao Yanan's work schedule after arriving in the United States. Only when she had free time could she go to the bookstore to pick out books for her.
"I may have to take leave and go home." Zhang Hongliang looked at Liu Xinyu and said after finishing a cup of tea.
Liu Xinyu raised her eyebrows and asked for leave to go home?
It seems that Zhang Hongliang hasn't gone back for a few years. He didn't go back even once in August when he had time, but he asked for leave to go back at this time. What happened to the Zhang family?
"I called my brother-in-law at home and told him that my mother was not well and asked me to go back." Zhang Hongliang's brows knitted into a knot.
Apart from being a little nervous, Wu Qiaozhen is in good health.
Now she suddenly said that something was wrong with her. Not to mention Zhang Hongliang, even Zhang Baogen didn't believe it. However, Zhang Baogen advised Zhang Hongliang to go back and have a look, because if it was just to trick Zhang Hongliang into returning home, there was no need to curse Wu Qiaozhen.
In Zhang Baogen's memory, Wu Qiaozhen was most afraid of others saying that she was not in good health, so he persuaded Zhang Hongliang to take leave and go back for a visit.
Liu Xinyu did not express any opinion, but suggested that Zhang Hongliang take a flight back.
After confirming that Zhang Hongliang was willing to fly back, he went out to call someone to book Zhang Hongliang's flight ticket for the next morning, so that he could rush back as soon as possible.
If Wu Qiaozhen is fine, she can go back the next day, so she can take two days off at most.
Of course, if Wu Qiaozhen is really not well, then the follow-up decision will depend on the situation.
As for asking for leave, it is very simple. In this special situation, of course Zhang Hongliang needs to write a leave request note to Director Yang.
If Fang Qia is here on Monday morning, ask Fang Qia to take the leave request note to Director Yang. If Fang Qia is not here, Liu Xinyu plans to go to the School of Chemical Engineering by herself, and it happens that she does not have her first or second class on Monday morning.
"Sorry to trouble you!" Seeing Liu Xinyu helping him handle the matter properly, Zhang Hongliang was naturally very moved, but he didn't know how to express his gratitude. He held back for a long time before he could only say these few words.
