It was already past five in the afternoon when Lu Ming finished talking with Professor Song, and he hurried to the cinema of Hanzhou University.
When Kim Mi-yeon entered the venue, she called the cigar club and told them which row and number of the movie tickets she had bought.
After watching the movie, she and her sister will go out for dinner, and then attend the birthday party of one of her sister's classmates.
Of course the uncle would choose whichever one he could catch up with. Every time the location changed, Kim Mi-yeon would call the club and the waiter would naturally record it.
Although the Times Building is only separated from Hanzhou University by Central Park, the park is very large and it takes more than half an hour to walk around it even by private car.
The movie starts at 4:30 and ends at about 6:30. When Lu Ming came in, it was a little after 6:00, so he could catch the end of it.
Before entering, Lu Ming sighed softly as he looked at the steps and pillars in front of the school cinema.
The university I attended in my previous life also had such a cinema, but it was basically open to the campus. The cinema in front of me was also open to the public, but most of the people coming in and out were still students, with groups of boys and girls and a small number of couples. They wore different clothes, but the campus atmosphere seemed to have not changed at all in my past and present lives.
When he first entered the cinema, it was naturally pitch black. Lu Ming stood for a while, waiting to get used to the light before walking forward.
The film is an early work of Reynolds Pictures, a light comedy from the silent film era. Naturally, the copyright now belongs to the Nadu Film Group. It has been repackaged with new music and dialogues, which makes it look youthful again and is very popular among students.
Lu Ming was counting the rows. The ticket number that Jin Mi Yan mentioned was the thirteenth row. No. 123 was in the leftmost area. Lu Ming was walking forward while counting the rows when suddenly a pretty figure appeared in front of him.
In the dim light of the cinema, the beautiful girl in the green jacket and skirt standing in front of me looked even more pure and beautiful, giving off the feeling of a protagonist in an art film.
Kim Mi-jeong was wearing a light green jacket embroidered with plum blossom buttons, a cute light green knee-length skirt, white socks and lace-up black leather shoes. She was extremely beautiful.
Even though he had always regarded her as a bean sprout, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little moved at this moment.
Before Lu Ming could react and say anything, his hand was pulled by the refreshing scent of a young girl. He followed her, took two steps, and sat down.
Well, the beautiful girl sitting on the right is wearing a snow-white evening gown and a gorgeous flower-embellished hat. She is elegant and beautiful.
But when Lu Ming took a closer look, he was stunned and frowned. This snow-white, pointed face with the usual beauty effect was none other than Kim Mi-yeon.
In this outfit, she looks elegant and beautiful, and from the side profile, she is unrecognizable at first.
She seemed to be afraid to look at Lu Ming at first, so she was staring at him from the side. Now she had to turn around and smile ingratiatingly. Seeing Lu Ming frown, she timidly whispered, "My sister said she wants to attend a party and asked me to dress up nicely."
Lu Ming thought, "Isn't it that I asked you to dress like this?" Seeing his shoulders exposed, the tattoo appeared again.
But at this moment, how could he scold her? He could only pretend not to see her. He turned to look at Kim Mi-jeong, but saw that her little face was peaceful and she was concentrating on watching the movie.
Lu Ming had no choice but to sit up straight. Suddenly, a bottle of soda was handed to him from his left, with two straws on it. Holding the soda bottle was Jin Meizhen's snow-white little hand.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he moved closer, gently bit the straw and took a sip. It tasted sour and sweet, just like the feeling in his heart.
They turned around and went to watch a movie. The three of them didn't say anything, just stared at the screen quietly. Occasionally, Jin Meizhen would bring a big box of popcorn over. Later, Lu Ming simply held the popcorn box in his hand. If Jin Meizhen wanted to eat, she would reach out to take it with her little hand. After a while, she would bring the soda bottle in her hand to Lu Ming's mouth.
Time passed slowly, yet also seemed to pass quickly. Suddenly, a bell rang, the lights in the cinema came on, and the end credits were already playing on the screen.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to something delicious!" Lu Ming saw that the two little girls were sitting still, as if they didn't notice that the movie was over, but were thinking about their own things, so he could only stand up first.
Then he looked at Jin Meiyan's flowered hat and frowned: "How can you wear such a tall hat to watch a movie? Won't it block the people behind you?" Seeing Jin Meiyan was frightened and hurriedly took off her hat, he shook his head and said, "It's all over!"
However, since I sat down, I didn't see anyone in the back row protesting, so I guess it has been like this since the beginning.
After being slightly surprised, I immediately understood that most of the people in the cinema were young college students. I was afraid that no one around me had the heart to watch the movie. The twin sisters Meizhen and Meiyan were much more interesting than the movie. Not to mention compliments, I was afraid that the two sisters would wish they could watch the movie while standing.
"Let's go!" Lu Ming coughed and walked out. The moment he sat down, countless young boys and girls' hearts were broken.
The car waiting outside the cinema was a very ordinary black sedan, a car from the group branch here, and it was not a luxury car at all.
Hanzhou is the third largest city in the empire, and the streets are busy with traffic, but for many college students, Lu Ming could imagine the hostile looks he and the sisters Jin Meizhen would attract when they got on the bus, so he quickly got in, picked up a top hat casually, put it on, and pressed it down.
Jin Meizhen, who got in the car and sat next to Lu Ming, looked at the scene strangely and then giggled.
"College students and middle school students are still different!" Lu Ming sighed.
Jin Meizhen nodded gently: "Yes, Qianxing brother, I feel that I have grown up too?! Isn't it, Qianxing brother?"
Lu Ming thought to himself that this was totally unrelated, but little girls are afraid of being called small, and older girls are afraid of being called older. This is the contradiction among girls.
"Well, Meizhen has grown up!"
Jin Meizhen smiled sweetly.
…
In the private room of the club on the second floor of the Times Building, the dishes on the table are all exquisite. The top-quality marbled beef from Milton State, golden crabs from the East China Sea, wild animal meat from the Northern Territory, etc. are all top-quality ingredients, and there are also various seasonal fresh vegetables, fruits, etc.
Basically, meat is cooked, boiled, fried, baked, etc., and with appropriate seasoning, it is fresh and not greasy.
Lu Ming tasted the delicate marbled beef and said with a smile, "This time I'm here to file a beef lawsuit in Milton State! Milton beef is famous all over the country, and it has a lot to do with the quality control and brand promotion of its beef association. Now, I want to deal with this beef association. I really don't know if people will describe me as a devil lawyer in the future?"
Jin Meizhen smiled secretly, then quickly picked up the food and ate it in small bites.
"What are you laughing at? Do you think your brother Qianxing is a bad guy?" Lu Ming looked at her.
Jin Meizhen shook her head, but it was obvious that the little girl was being perfunctory.
Lu Ming was helpless, "Then you once regarded me as your boyfriend, you are blind."
"Brother Qianxing, you are my boyfriend now. We got back together in the cinema. When you are in love, you always quarrel and make up, right?" Jin Meizhen smiled.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head. It didn't matter. The little girl was just playing house by herself. As long as she was happy, that was all.
But it can be seen that she has become much more cheerful, some of her worries seem to have disappeared, her former confidence has returned, and going to college is really good to her.
"Meizhen, you are a little girl, why are you involved in the electronics industry? It has something to do with computers, right?" Lu Ming asked.
Now Mizhen is just a freshman in the junior class, which is a seven-year class. The freshman and sophomore years mainly involve academic courses related to the major. But I heard from Jin Meiyan that her sister is very talented and has her own ideas. Unlike most of her classmates who are preparing to study mathematics and become mathematicians, she plans to study other majors after her junior year. After all, this junior class is mainly a mathematics class.
But the professor likes her very much, and maybe he will assign her a special tutor in the future.
Over there, Jin Meizhen nodded her head as she listened to Lu Ming's question: "Well, Brother Qianxing, I think computers will bring about earth-shaking changes in our future lives. There is a tutor group doing integrated circuit research, and I was allowed to audit it! Also, in terms of machine language, there are tutors who think I have talent and often give me a break."
Lu Ming smiled and said that nowadays hardware and software are not separated much, because if you work in machine language, you need to be very familiar with the hardware. Different computers need to be programmed with different languages to execute instructions, and the programming languages will not be completely universal due to the differences in computer hardware.
"The machine language nowadays is binary, right?" Lu Ming had been very interested in computers in his previous life. It was also a required course in college, and he knew a little about early computers. The professor had said that in the era of binary machine language, instructions were input by punching holes. He thought it was interesting at the time and was particularly impressed.
"Oh? Brother Qianxing, you also understand machine language?" Jin Meizhen's face was a little surprised.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You should understand a little bit. The so-called machine language explains that the lowest level of execution is to let those electron tubes, resistors, current transistors, and future integrated circuits, each of the very, very small components, execute whether to be powered on or off! 0 means no power, 1 means power on, and binary instructions are the lowest level of instructions. However, using binary to issue instructions to computers is too complicated, and the hardware is not universal. The new platform-universal machine language should be the problem that your mentors are trying to solve."
The surprise on Jin Meizhen's face gradually faded, and she smiled again: "Brother Qianxing, I'm still thinking about it. When I'm older next year or the year after, I'll persuade you to invest in the computer industry. By then, you may not be my child anymore and will think about it."
Lu Ming nodded: "I have invested in Huaxia Laboratory. Your brother Qianxing is the largest shareholder. When you have two or three years, you don't have to finish your studies here. You can go directly to our laboratory. I think, Meizhen, you may be able to bring a big surprise to Brother Qianxing in the future!"
"Huaxia Laboratory..." The expression on Jin Meizhen's face was completely incredible.
It is a super laboratory established by merging the laboratories of Tokai Telegraph and Telephone Company and Tokai Electronics Testing Institute, in cooperation with two laboratories of Alice Institute of Technology and one laboratory of Tunghai University. The focus of its research and development is on the integrated circuit project, in which it is currently number one in the industry in the empire.
Kim Mi-yeon didn't understand what the two were saying at all. She just ate and drank.
Lu Ming looked at Jin Meizhen and smiled: "Our little Meizhen has really grown up. The topics she talks to you about are different now." Indeed, as they were chatting, he suddenly realized this problem.
Jin Meizhen let out a long breath, "Brother Qianxing, I will always be so insignificant in front of you."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Why, your self-esteem is hurt again, are you going to break up with me again?"
Jin Meizhen shook her head and said, "No, I don't think that the money that Brother Qianxing is spending on me now is an investment by Brother Qianxing in me. I will repay Brother Qianxing tenfold or a hundredfold in the future!"
Lu Ming smiled: "That's what your sister earned. Now it's really her who earns the money. She's also a well-known sports star. It's no problem to give you pocket money from the endorsement fee. It has nothing to do with me now!"
He added: "Look, you've grown up and become mercenary. You've started calculating profits in your little head, what about investment returns!"
Jin Meizhen smiled and said, "Brother Qianxing, you are going to make a loss now. Who are the people in your Huaxia Laboratory? I may just be a burden in the future."
Lu Ming smiled: "I still have confidence in our little Meizhen. Besides, even if little Meizhen is a burden, she is still a very good and lovely burden!"
Kim Mi-jeong smiled with her lips pursed, her little face full of happiness and joy.
While Lu Ming was speaking, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Jin Meiyan who was stuffing something into her mouth, and he couldn't help but frown. If Meizhen hadn't been there, he would definitely scold her, saying that she was like a brainless person who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day.
They are obviously twins, but the difference in intelligence is really too big.
