Bringing Along a Ball and Hiding from Foreign Devils Chapter 19

Edited by Ahzinal!

During the whole way, Ren Zhouyuan turned his head towards the window to look outside. Even if Leonid wanted to find some chance to talk to him, he still wouldn't be able to.

Finally, after sitting in the rocking bus for a good two hours, they arrived at their destination. When they got off the vehicle, not only Ren Zhouyuan, even Leonid felt more relaxed.

After the two received the distributed room cards, each went up to find their rooms. However, when they arrived at the door, Ren Zhouyuan suddenly discovered that he would actually be staying in the same room as Leonid!

Leonid had long known that Rowen arranged it this way, but at this time, he also put on an act of pretending to be surprised. Then, he pushed open the door and stood at the entrance, then made a “please enter” motion to indicate to Ren Zhouyuan to go in first.

Ren Zhouyuan had an embarra.s.sed expression as he walked in. Seeing the internal layout of the room, he sighed and muttered a sentence about good fortune since no deranged person booked them a room with only one double bed. However, thinking about the two's relationship, Ren Zhouyuan was still not super happy.

Leonid's expression was normal as he put his luggage by the other bed. From when they took off till now, he could clearly feel that Ren Zhouyuan was uncomfortable. Just like now, it was obvious that the two of them would be in the same room, yet, from the moment when Ren Zhouyuan stepped in, he still did not say a single sentence to him. This observation made him a bit dispirited.

He sorted out his luggage a little bit then stood there thinking for a while: “Would you like to go out and take a look?”

Ren Zhouyuan was pretending to be busy by organizing his stuff. Hearing Loenid say this, his hands paused. He looked up, glanced at him, then nodded his head.

The purpose of this time's trip was for the purpose of inspection. Thus why they are arriving before the opening of a new location. The hotel they checked in at was also a part of the new building. This whole piece of the area was the company's property.

At present, the base was 80% finished with construction. Anywhere one looked, one could see large-scale technology. Compared with a scale of this size, the machines An An usually used in his cla.s.ses were considerably smaller.

Ren Zhouyuan, because he had written a paper about it previously, also knew a lot about these machines. Now, seeing the equipment that appeared in his research materials, it aroused his interests. He forgot to be embarra.s.sed for a little a while and focused on studying them seriously.

Leonid had been secretly observing his reaction and, seeing that he was no longer so tense, he was finally a little relieved. He took Ren Zhouyuan everywhere. He saw him interested in the large equipment, so he especially looked for some large-scale ones to show him.

The workers who helped build the equipment were all Chinese, so most of them did not know Russian. Leonid thought about it and deliberately took Ren Zhouyuan to walk over then pointed to one of the machine workers to inquire about the progress of the work.

The person who was asked could not understand, and subconsciously turned to the Chinese person who stood next to him. Ren Zhouyuan, with nothing else he could do, had to act as a temporary translator. As a result, he knew more and more which completely provoked his curiosity later on. After asking a question, he would ask another right after.

Occasionally, Leonid would also tell him what certain equipment is used for. He had studied a lot in this field. Thus, he doesn't know any less than the professors who specialize in teaching cla.s.ses on it. However, for the areas he is weaker in, he listened attentively to the installation master explaining it with Ren Zhouyuan. As long as Ren Zhouyuan wanted to listen to the master speak, he didn't mind listening with him.

Ren Zhouyuan is really interested in the contents of this field. It was originally because of his work and later because An An liked it. In addition, he wanted to understand what kind of work this man is doing, so he did a lot of research until he developed quite a bit of interest in VR, drones, unmanned vehicles and such.

All the things Leonid discussed were things he had not seen when he was reading the research materials. Leonid knew how to start every piece of equipment like the palm of his hand and also told him interesting anecdotes about how many foreigners used the equipment. The more Ren Zhouyuan listened, the more he was interested.

In just one morning, the distance between the two was a lot closer. Ren Zhouyuan also had a big shift in view on Leonid. He always thought that Leonid was a cold and awkward person who couldn't speak more than one word. But, after getting along for a while, he discovered that he was also a funny person, and that he was also erudite and multi-talented. Wherever he went, he would always be looked up to by others.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Ren Zhouyuan also asked a question that has plagued him for a long time: “I have always been curious about Vichy's methods of business. Your courses are sold at such low prices, but the equipment and teachers can be called the most skilled, not just in China, but in the world. He pointed to an equipment in front of the road: “This equipment for example, to provide one is already considerably expensive, yet you have such a big customer base. Is money really that easy to earn?”

Leonid looked at his face. He didn't know why he felt that this person in front of him was so refined and gentle. His body smelled of books, yet he was asking such a tacky question. This contrast unexpectedly made the person feel a little cute. He smiled and his index finger poked his head and said, “We are earning this.”

“Ah?” Ren Zhouyuan was puzzled.

Leonid took him to the drone area and picked up one of the drones being debugged and handed it to Ren Zhouyuan: “Do you know this model drone? This is the fastest unmanned machine in the world and his founder, when he was 18 years old, set up his own drone company. When he first came into contact with drones, he was only 11 years old.”

Ren Zhouyuan touched the body of the drone, he knows more or less that An An is also a fan of drones.

Leonid also spoke of other many examples, from robots, drones, unmanned vehicles, to even smaller inventions. Most of which are ideas that young people in their teens came up with and then were applied by scientists. The wonderful ideas became reality.

Ren Zhouyuan seemed to have caught the meaning of Leonid, but he was not too sure.

Leonid took a pair of VR gla.s.ses for Ren Zhouyuan to wear, opened the device, called up the image of the human brain, then used the pen to separate the brain.

"People generally believe that the watershed* of human brains' memory is about 3.5 years old. At the age of 5 or 6, children's intellectual development will take the first leap. At the age of 16, the brain development of teenagers is complete. By the age of 20 The brain will reach its peak of development and then begin to decline.”

[T/N: From Google: an event or period marking a turning point in a course of action or state of affairs.]

Leonid stood at the back of Ren Zhouyuan holding a pen in his right hand. He crossed Ren Zhouyuan's ear. His huge body seemed to encircle Ren Zhouyuan in his arms.

"We have surveyed children with an average age of 5 to 18 years old. They are the best in terms of creativity, imagination and hands-on ability. They can think of things that adults can't think of, just need to provide them with a platform and it can be turned into reality.” He put down the pen, and the low and resounding voice sounded in the ears of Ren Zhouyuan. “We don't earn the expenditures of the cla.s.ses, but we deal in the business of the brain.”

Ren Zhouyuan stood there and was shocked for a long time and could not speak.

He never thought that someone could buy and sell the human brain in such a way. Indeed, the human brain is the most invaluable a.s.set in the world, and children can think of things that adults can't think of, but those things are intangible, and what Leonid is doing now is transforming intangible ideas into tangible ent.i.ties.

Leonid helped him take off the gla.s.ses and patted his back in an unintentional gesture, motioning him to move on.

On this day, Ren Zhouyuan felt that his three views were subverted. Not only towards Vichy, but also towards Leonid.

What this person is doing now is a great event for the company, or for the whole world.

Perhaps as a businessman, Leonid thought of how to turn the things that the children think of into reality then apply for a patent to get more money, but there is no doubt that it can turn ideas into things of substance and help the progress of society in ways that can't be described by a couple of words!

It is no wonder that so many top scientists are willing to stay in this small place, accompanying children in this kind of course that was just playing in the eyes of outsiders. This is why the development of Vichy is recognized by so many authorities at home and abroad.

After this day, the way Ren Zhouyuan looked at the old professors who worked at Vichy, not even to mention Leonid, changed.

When the two returned to the hotel again, there was not much time left in the morning. Ren Zhouyuan felt that what Leonid said had a great help to the paper he wrote afterwards. Taking advantage of his new discoveries, he ensnared Leonid into answering a lot of questions regarding the secrets of how Vichy's business was run.

Leonid willingly said more to him. In his heart, Ren Zhouyuan has long been equal to his other half. All this is only a matter of time. When Ren Zhouyuan asked him to answer a one sentence question, he would answer with ten sentences, saying everything he knew and leaving nothing out. He was watching Ren Zhouyuan getting closer and closer to him while not knowing it himself; don't mention how happy his mood became.

Leonid kept in mind Rowen's teachings. During the conversation, he did not forget to mention his own education method for children, and he secretly observed the expression of Ren Zhouyuan. He felt that the effect was not bad, so he continued to say a lot.

He wants to ask about Ren Ju An [An An's full name], but he is afraid that the good atmosphere that was not easy to create would be destroyed at once, so he could only hold back and not ask.

The conversation between the two was undoubtedly pleasant. Ren Zhouyuan never thought that he would have such a day where he could easily talk with Leonid on an equal position.

There is no doubt that Leonid is a good boss, and seeing his avant-garde education concept, perhaps he was also an amazing educator.

Ren Zhouyuan even thought that this person and An An have the same hobbies. If he let him know about the existence of An An, he wondered if he would be a good father who would love his children dearly.

Only, when this thought appeared, it was immediately suppressed by Ren Zhouyuan. He sneaked a look at Leonid and sighed in his heart.

No matter how good this person is, if he wants to fight over for An An with him one day, he will never give in!

The author has something to say:

Ren Zhouyuan (Reading silently): Fortunately, there was no bedtime arrangement for only a one bed room.

Leonid (on the phone): Why not a room with one big bed! !

Rowen: … I am afraid that if you are not careful, you won't be able to control yourself!
