[087] The gods
Rong Shangqin, whose courtesy name is Yongshen, was born in 1861. This year coincides with his thirties. He is Yung Wing's nephew, and he is rarely named a child prodigy. He was selected by Yung Wing and sent to the United States to study as the second batch of young children studying in the United States.
He is strange and not very sociable, and has little friendship with other young children studying in the United States. After studying at Harvard University in the United States, he did not return home, nor did he marry a foreign wife like Li Enfu. Instead, he ran to the middle school in the United States to teach alone.
Change the place a year and travel in major states and prefectures in the United States. Just four years ago, he came to Los Angeles to settle down. If it weren't for Yung Wing, others wouldn't have been able to contact him!
Among the young children studying in the United States, the worst ones can get an engineer. The slightly better ones are to get a job in the Qing government, or to work in the Beiyang system. Before and after the Republic of China, they are all bullshit.
The big master Rong Shangqin is a middle school teacher, who is really the most incompetent one as he said!
Such a person will have great talent? Yung Wing recommends him, it won’t be a nepotism and tricking him, right? After hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed through Long Hao’s mind.
Yung Wing's eyes seemed to see through Long Hao's thoughts, and he smiled and said, "The talent of the Yongshen is not told by outsiders! Yu Jie, if you chat with him well, you will know that what I said is true!"
Rong Shangqin was very interesting, and actually stood up and sang a fat man: "I heard that Young Master Long's industry is magnificent and his volunteers are grand. Yongshen is willing to be a small staff member. He comes up with ideas when he has something to do and basks in the sun when he has nothing to do. I think it is necessary to compare
Teaching in middle school makes a lot of money and life is comfortable! Everyone is Chinese, so if you want to take shelter..."
Rong Shangqin is probably the most shameless Chinese that Long Hao has ever seen in this era. He doesn't care whether Long Hao agrees or not. After coming out of the coffee shop, he resides in the carriage, which makes Gao Tianyang and other guards look at each other: What's the matter with the young master?
Have a fake foreigner come back?
Rong Shangqin is full of Western elements, which really makes Gao Tianyang and the others unaccustomed to it.
Rong Shangqin is very talkative. A Harvard graduate, coupled with his nearly ten years of middle school teaching career, has always had topics to talk to.
After getting on the carriage, Rong Shangqin's mouth was like a choking melon seed, flipping up and down, and he didn't stop talking about customs and anecdotes from all over the United States, which made Melissa laugh and praised him for his humor.
Even Yuan'er, who has always been serious about outsiders, smiled faintly when listening to Rong Shangqin's nice and pleasant voice.
It took nearly an hour from Union Square to Beigang, Long Hao discovered at least three advantages of Rong Shangqin.
First, he mastered three foreign languages, including English, French and Western languages, and was fluent and free.
Second, the conversation is funny, the thinking is open, and the knowledge of choosing favorite topics continues, making people willing to listen to him "verbose", and he looks like a future psychologist.
Third, his memory is amazing and his extensive knowledge. Not only did he know the customs and customs of various parts of the United States, but the news, current affairs, scientific dynamics, and political trends of various countries in this era were also poured out of his mouth like beans.
Take the topic of the current situation in Spain as an example. Rong Shangqin actually talked endlessly for half an hour, and during this time he quoted titles related to Spanish current affairs in the past six months by many newspapers on the East Coast of the United States. In addition to his own opinions, he wrote a few words.
Yes, Melissa and Long Hao were stunned.
After getting off the carriage, Rong Shangqin jumped down, stretched his waist and moved his muscles and bones. It can be seen that this young child studying in the United States paid great attention to exercise. He was not a poor scholar who was not diligent in four bodies and did not distinguish between grains.
This can be seen from his height far higher than that of the Chinese in this era.
Rong Shangqin blew a gust of sea breeze, looked at the hard-working fishermen on the beach, as well as the houses and construction sites, and turned around and smiled: "Young Master, this place is prosperous, foreigners and Chinese live in harmony, and there are also our Bang Yingwu who patrolled with guns.
Warrior, your strength is really as Uncle Hong said, very strong!”
Long Hao said proudly: "Of course, in addition to the fishing ground here, there is also my shipyard in Nangang!"
Rong Shangqin's eyes lit up: "So, can I pay my salary this month in advance?"
Long Hao almost didn't hold back in one breath, stared at Rong Shangqin and said, "What a philanthropist, have I promised to hire you?"
Rong Shangqin is not afraid at all: "Young Master brought me in, just accepted me! I just spent my best intentions on the carriage to show myself, and my lips were so dry that I had cracked. If the young master was not satisfied, he should be entering this piece
I was rushed out of the car before the heavily guarded fishing ground, right?"
At this point, Long Hao discovered Rong Shangqin's fourth advantage: he was good at observing his face and being delicate.
Long Hao smiled and said, "You guessed half of the time. Now you pass the first exam. If you want to be a salary-taking staff member, you still need a re-examination."
Rong Shangqin grinned exaggeratedly: "Wow, so strict? It's more difficult than when I was admitted to Harvard. Master, you have to show mercy. In order to follow you, I have already quit my job in Los Angeles!"
Long Hao said: "Are you scared or don't have confidence?"
Rong Shangqin said: "In order to make a living, no matter how difficult it is, you have to go against the current! Young Master, please give me a question!" After saying that, he showed a determined look of bravery and righteousness, but with his curly hair, it made him even more funny.
The people next to Longhao couldn't help laughing and laughed.
Melissa smiled and said, "Ocean, I think this Mr. Rong is good, so don't make things difficult for him!"
Yung Wing covered his head and said, "This Immortal God has been flexible since he was a child, but he is a little lazy. Yu Jie, please just hit him, don't worry, his face is as thick as a city wall, and he is never afraid of blows."
Long Hao also saw that to put it bluntly, Rong Shangqin is lazy and unmotivated. In fact, he is too smart and too arrogant in his bones, and he looks down on anyone.
This can reveal the clues from the faint confidence in his eyes and a little bit of vague jokes.
On the surface, he was begging forever to follow Long Hao, but Long Hao knew that if he could not show the ability to convince him in the future, this guy would run away at any time.
Rong Shangqin looked bitterly: "Uncle Hong, please give me some face, and reveal my old secrets. Even if Young Master Long takes me in, his salary will not be much higher..."
Rong Shangqin's tall figure and justice-like curly hair made him look very funny. When Melissa and Yuan'er saw it, their giggles became even more and more unstoppable.
Long Hao waved his hand and said, "God, stop being sarcastic! Come with me, this re-examination requires you and I to talk alone!"
Yung Wing and others were tactful and retreated. In order to gain Long Hao's recognition, both sides really need to have an open and honest understanding of each other.
Long Hao and Rong Shangqin came to the beach and looked at the endless deep blue sea water and the light red sky where the sunset could be seen faintly, and suddenly felt extremely comfortable.
Long Hao said: "Yong Shen, I can see that you are no less talented than anyone else. Why are you willing to be a middle school teacher? By the way, have you established yourself at the age of thirty and started a family?"
Rong Shangqin said: "In the past, my father told me about a marriage in Guangdong, but I haven't returned to China for eight years. I haven't seen this wife yet. Now I've probably married someone else?"
Long Hao was slightly stunned: "Is Yongshen still single?"
Rong Shangqin said: "Yes, it's good to be single, you can be free and eat one person, and the whole family is not hungry, haha..."
Long Hao captured a trace of loneliness in his calm eyes. He knew that everyone had privacy, so he stopped asking: "Yong Shen, do you think the Qing Dynasty has no hope, so you didn't return to China?"
Rong Shangqin nodded: "The longer I come to the United States, the more I feel that the gap between the Qing Dynasty and the world's powerful country cannot be filled by dozens of talents or a few good officials alone! If the consciousness does not change, the Qing Dynasty will be sooner or later
The foreigner beat him up and returned to China? That was just jumping into the brazier by closing his eyes and covering his ears!"
Long Hao said: "But, Zhan Tianyou, Liang Dunyan and others have resolutely returned to China!"
Rong Shangqin smiled and said, "I don't go to hell without them, whoever goes to hell is noble sentiment? I understand that I am just an ordinary person. It will be very difficult for me to live my life happily! I found that
, The United States is bigger than the Qing Dynasty. Except for the slightly disgusting Chinese Exclusion Act, life here will be more comfortable than in China... You see, I went to middle school to teach children, which can fill my stomach and move my mouth.
