Following the little nurse, Liu Qingshan came all the way to Thomas' ward.

This should be the senior official ward in the hospital. Not to mention the single room, Liu Qingshan even saw the refrigerator that is very rare in the room.

Thomas was standing by the dining table and looked over happily: "Dear Liu, don't mind I invite you for a happy lunch."

How could Liu Qingshan, who had just eaten two steamed buns when he saw the ham on the table, minded?

"Thank you for your invitation, Mr. Thomas."

Thomas waved his hand and smiled, "See true friends in times of adversity. Liu, we are true friends!"

"That's right, according to our Chinese idioms, we are also friends of life and death!"

Liu Qingshan said as he came to the front of the dining table, skillfully folded the napkin and spread it on his legs.

Thomas also sat down on the chair and saw Liu Qingshan's calm manner, nodding slightly.

There is a proverb in their country: Table etiquette begins with napkins.

In the past few months, he has eaten Western food with many people. When he saw many people tucking napkins on his chest, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Because in their place, only children eat, they do this so that food will not splash on them.

But if the adults do the same, it will be a bit funny.

Once he accepted an invitation from an engineer in the factory to visit his home.

While having supper, I saw the engineer's grandson, who was only two or three years old, had a similar thing around his neck.

I asked, it was said to be called bib.

Thomas understood: It turns out that the roots are here.

Now looking at Liu Qingshan's style, it is obviously not the first time he has eaten Western food.

Nurse Li, with a round face and big eyes, began to place tableware and knife and fork. When he came to Liu Qingshan, he glared at him with a threat in his eyes.

People at this time never lack a sense of justice. No matter what job they do, they will regard themselves as their true masters.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan was not disgusted with the young nurse, but instead thought it was quite fun and couldn't help but want to tease her: "Nurse Li, you put my tableware in the wrong way. It should be a left fork and right knife."

Li Xuemei is a full-time nurse for Thomas, because she is the only one in this hospital and can understand some English a little.

She picked up the knife and fork again, blocked Thomas's view with her body, then gestured to Liu Qingshan with a small fork, and whispered: "Remember to abide by the rules and don't embarrass you in front of foreign guests."

Liu Qingshan smiled and blinked at her, while Li Xuemei gave him a fierce look.

She just couldn't understand: the clothes on her body were patched. Isn't this a joke for foreign guests?

When I returned to my country, I thought our country was so poor, and I was so embarrassed that I would throw my face abroad!

At this time, Thomas had already picked up a bottle of awakened red wine: "My doctor told me that drinking less red wine is good for the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system."

After saying that, he glanced at Liu Qingshan and blinked in a narrow voice: "I'm sorry, Liu, you must not be old enough to drink, so I specially prepared juice for you."

Red wine from Bordeaux Rafi Winery!

Liu Qingshan was very angry: I didn’t drink Moutai in 1982, and I didn’t allow Lafite in 1982. You are all deliberately greedy for me, right?

He stood up, walked over, and snatched the bottle: "No, Thomas, no matter what wine it is, as long as it contains alcohol, it will stimulate blood vessels."

"So, as your friend, for your health, I will keep this bottle of red wine for you. Please rest assured that my juice will definitely be distributed to you half."

Of course Thomas didn't do it, and made a move to rob him, and then he heard an angry shout from the side:

"Let it go quickly, how can you grab foreign guests' stuff!"

The two of them looked over at the same time and saw the young nurse Li Xuemei, whose face turned red with anger and his big eyes were staring at Liu Qingshan.

After all, I have been here for a few months, and I can still understand simple words. Thomas was shocked and was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand.

Li Xuemei quickly explained: "Mr. Thomas, where is he?"

Thomas shrugged: "No, beautiful nurse Xiaojie, we are joking among friends. Do you understand kidding? This can promote our friendship."

Well, kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs! Li Xuemei felt a little wronged, so she could only give Liu Qingshan a angrily look.

After this little episode, the two of them sat back and slowly savored the red wine.

Liu Qingshan finally got his wish, but he is now sixteen years old and has not had the alcohol test yet, so he felt a little drifting as he drank.

Looking at Liu Qingshan's graceful posture, Thomas couldn't help but praise: "Liu, you are simply a gentleman."

There was another sentence he didn't say: it was like a prince dressed as a beggar, whose elegance in his bones would not be changed by his ragged clothes.

It was indeed a pleasant lunch. With the joy of drinking, the conversation between the two became more and more harmonious and spoke faster and faster. Li Xuemei's head was so big when she heard it.

Liu Qingshan also learned that Thomas is an automotive engineer, affiliated with AMC, and this time he came to play in front of the front station.

Because his company is interested in cooperating with the First Automobile Manufacturing Plant, he is here to inspect equipment and production capacity.

Now, the mission has been successfully completed and you can return to China next month to reunite with your family.

AMC?

Liu Qingshan recalled in his mind: GM, Ford and Klester, these are the three giants in the United States' automobile manufacturing industry.

As for this AMC, I didn’t have a deep impression, but I knew it was once glorious, but I don’t know what happened and was later acquired.

By the late 1980s, it completely disappeared from the market.

"Liu, look, this is the car I designed, this is my proud work."

Thomas probably drank a little too much, took out a car magazine, opened one of the pages, and showed off to Liu Qingshan: "Look at this streamlined car model, it's like a work of art."

Are you embarrassed to praise yourself like this?

Liu Qingshan curled his lips. The shape of this sedan was so ugly in his eyes. It would be better to look at the blonde beauty next to the car.

At least the lines are more beautiful than cars.

It was probably because he could see that Liu Qingshan didn't care, and he was a little bit overwhelmed with drinking. Thomas put down the tableware: "Liu, in terms of automobile manufacturing, I am an expert, you are an outsider, and an outsider is not qualified to mock an insider."

This is true. Liu Qingshan really knows nothing about engines and lines.

But he has vision and is leading for decades. I am afraid that Thomas will not be able to catch up in his life.

So Liu Qingshan calmly wiped the greasy corner of his mouth with the dining cloth and said seriously: "Mr. Thomas, I am frank, this design is not very good in my opinion."

After hearing this, Thomas couldn't accept it at all. He stood up and leaned on the table with both hands: "Liu, it's my fault. You shouldn't be asked to drink. You'd better go to bed and wake up the bar, Ok?"

Now, Li Xuemei was so panicked. The two of them were talking and laughing. Why did they say that they were anxious?

It must be this little brat who doesn't understand the rules, which made the foreign guests angry.

So she quickly stepped forward, pulled Liu Qingshan's sleeve and muttered: "Why don't you apologize to the foreign guests!"

Apologize, why apologize?

Liu Qingshan ignored him and asked Thomas' pen to come over. He drew it in the car magazine.

Soon, a rough model was outlined, next to the car designed by Thomas.

Then he raised the magazine and shook it at Li Xuemei: "Look, which car looks good?"

Li Xuemei is an honest person. She raised her hand and pointed to the sketch that Liu Qingshan had just drawn: "This is a bit beautiful!"

Thomas couldn't help but come up when he heard this, and then his eyes could no longer be moved away. While admiring, he exclaimed:

"Wow, God, this shape is simply an epoch-making design."

"Liu, I'm sorry, I underestimated you. Your design is so wonderful!"

Now, Thomas was completely convinced. Compared with others, what he designed was called, and he only used it as a toy car for children.

For a moment, his heart was as if he was scratching his cat, and he couldn't help but say, "Liu, can I use the model you designed? Can I pay you the design fee?"

Liu Qingshan waved his hand: "We are friends, aren't we? So, there is no need to talk about money."

This kind of design will be nothing in the future if you take a lot of it.

"No, no, no, friends belong to friends, wealth is wealth."

Thomas's concept is different from Liu Qingshan, and he could feel that there must be more clever ideas in this young man's mind.

If he wasn't too young, he even doubted whether the other party would be the chief designer of a big automobile company. He came here to enjoy him?

"Liu, it's hard to believe that in your country where the automobile industry is very backward, there is a design genius like you."

Thomas is still sincere and feels uncomfortable if he doesn't say this.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "My friend, my country is developing rapidly. If it takes decades, it may become the world's number one automobile consumer."

"So if you cooperate with us, it's definitely a wise choice!"

"Okay, Liu, I will carefully consider your words and report them to the company."

Thomas stopped eating rice and pulled Liu Qingshan to discuss the design details of the car.

Before I knew it, the afternoon passed.

Look at the time, Liu Qingshan spread his hands: "Okay, Thomas, I still have to deliver supper to my grandfather."

Then Thomas reluctantly put down his pen, then took out milk bread, sausages, ham and so on from the refrigerator, stuffed them all into Liu Qingshan's arms.
