Chapter 721: A Busy Reunion

Although I wanted to follow Lu Zhou all the way in these 48 hours, it was obviously impossible.

Apart from his own family, Lu Zhou never had the habit of inviting others to spend the night at his home, even though there were still many vacant guest rooms in the villa.

Swearing again and again that he would not sneak onto the plane this time, and it was still early before the launch time, he finally sent Director Li away.

He has been busy at the Space Launch Center until after four o'clock in the afternoon. Lu Zhou asked Wang Peng to drive him back to Zhongshan International's villa. Just when he was about to take a shower and get himself something to eat, there was a sudden knock at the door. The doorbell rang.

He got up and walked to the door. When Lu Zhou saw the camera image of the courtyard door on the screen next to the shoe cabinet in the entrance, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he quickly opened the door.

"Dad, Mom, Xiaotong? Why are you here?"

Carrying the suitcase into the entrance, Lu Bangguo laughed.

"If I don't come, is your kid planning to sneak into the sky again!"

Hearing his father's words, Lu Zhou couldn't laugh or cry: "You don't tell me, so I can go to the station to pick you up."

Fang Mei, who was standing next to Lao Lu, sighed and said softly.

"You are so busy with work, I thought I should not disturb you by calling, so I brought your father and Xiaotong over from Jiangling. The family still has to be together during the Chinese New Year. I can't let you stay here alone. Here, even if the whole family sits down and have a meal together."

Looking at the concerned eyes of his parents, Lu Zhou was silent for a while, and a somewhat ashamed smile appeared on his face.

"Sorry...it's almost the Spring Festival, and I haven't even called home."

Lao Lu didn't say anything, just reached out and patted his son's shoulder.

"It's okay, Dad understands you."

Between men and men, you don't need too much language to communicate, sometimes a look is enough, and you don't even need a look.

Lu Zhou could feel that his father understood him, and he could also feel that deep down in his heart, he was proud of his mission and responsibilities.

Sniffing, just when the atmosphere at the entrance became a little more sensational, Xiaotong, who was carrying a travel bag, got out from behind the old lady, rushed to the old brother's side excitedly, and asked in chirping .

"Brother, brother, I heard that you went to the sky on a rocket?"

Lu Zhou froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, it's not a rocket, it's an aerospace plane."

Xiaotong asked with bright eyes: "Cool! Is it fun up there?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "It's fun, I have a chance to take you up...but not this time, the risk is a bit high this time, I dare not go up by myself."

Hearing that Lu Zhou was not only planning to go up there himself, but also planned to bring his precious daughter up there, Lao Lu stared at him immediately: "Dream! Don't even think about it! If you want to go up, get me a son first!"

Fang Mei rolled her husband's eyes and said, "What do you mean by having a son, a daughter can't do it?"

Lao Lu's face remained unchanged, but he quickly changed his words: "Daughters are better! It's best to have two more!"

Hearing what my father and mother said, Xiaotong immediately stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

Wait until my brother gets married...

I'm afraid I have to wait.

It was getting late, almost five or six o'clock.

There were still some vegetables in the refrigerator that I just bought yesterday. After Fang Mei took a look, she asked Lao Lu to go outside to buy two catties of stewed vegetables and come back. Then she put on her apron and started cooking.

Originally, Lu Zhou didn't want his mother to cook. After all, he just took the high-speed train to Jinling, and he was a little tired along the way. However, Naihe really couldn't hold her back, and in the end Lu Zhou chose to give up and sat on the sofa in the living room honestly.

Both parents were busy, and only Lu Zhou and Xiaotong were left in the lively living room.

Turning on the TV that hadn't been turned on a few times, Lu Zhou was bored to pass the time before meals, while shouldering the responsibility of being a big brother, and caring about Xiaotong's academic affairs.

"How does it feel to study abroad in the UK?"

A pair of little feet were on the coffee table, playing with pesticides that haven't been used for gold for many years, Xiaotong chirped back, "It's okay, I feel that the atmosphere in school is not as lively as in China, and I'm not very happy. Likes to party, basically brushing the library with roommates."

Lu Zhou: "Speaking of which, you will graduate next year."

Xiaotong: "It's about the same. If it's fast over there, you can finish reading it in two years."

Lu Zhou: "Have you thought about what you plan to do after graduation?"

Putting down the phone with a blacked out screen, Xiaotong thought about it for a moment, and scratched the back of her head in annoyance.

"I'm considering whether to continue my PhD at Oxford or go to HSBC."

Lu Zhou said unexpectedly: "Have you got an offer from HSBC? HSBC accepts master students?"

Although because he has hardly borrowed money from a bank, he doesn't know much about the market in this area. But if he remembers correctly, HSBC is probably the largest bank in the UK, and has considerable influence around the world.

For example, the old Li who ran away from Xiangjiang had the shadow of HSBC behind him.

Xiaotong scratched her nose shyly with her index finger, and said with an embarrassed smile.

"It's not that I don't accept a master's degree at all, and my supervisor helped me get an internship there during the summer vacation. My work performance was pretty good, and HR asked me if I had any plans to work there after graduation. Although I only started from the grassroots, I still like the working environment there.”

Lu Zhou thought for a while and said: "It depends on how you choose, whether to take the academic route or the corporate route. If you are taking the academic route, Ph.D. is naturally a better choice. If you are taking the corporate route, HSBC offers can also be considered.”

Damn, while talking, Lu Zhou couldn't help feeling melancholy.

Recalling his experience of climbing up from an undergraduate student step by step, even with systematic guidance, he has put in a considerable amount of effort every step of the way, and only he himself can understand the difficulties involved.

Of course, for Xiaotong to get to this point smoothly, her personal efforts are also very important. Although he did provide some help with domestic resources and letters of recommendation, it was ultimately up to her own ability to seize these opportunities.

It's like the same system, even if it's given to the scumbags, it can only take the wild way of "bombing the research institute"...

Xiaotong blinked and asked seriously.

"Brother, which route do you suggest I take?"

"Me? You're not mistaken, are you?" Hearing the question, Lu Zhou laughed suddenly, "I don't know much about economics, so it's useless even if you ask me...Why don't you ask Senior Sister?"

"Sister?"

"Uh, Chen Yushan."

It was obvious that he was pretending not to know just now. Seeing the slightly embarrassed expression on his brother's face, Xiaotong smiled slyly and poked Lu Zhou's arm.

"Hey, brother, tell me honestly, how far have you and senior sister developed?"

Lu Zhou glared at her angrily.

"What step, you little girl, what are you thinking about all day long?"

As soon as chatting about gossip, Xiaotong immediately became interested, and chirped: "I'm not young! And you think, the senior sister is still single in her 26s, either she is not interested in love at all, or she is Your heart belongs."

"...you know a P."

Hearing this tone, Xiao Tong was immediately unhappy.

"Hehe, do you understand women or I understand women? Wait, brother, don't tell me..."

As if thinking of something, Xiaotong, who was full of interest just a second ago, suddenly became weird.

Sighing at the ceiling, Lu Zhou looked at her with a headache and asked.

"What's wrong again?"

Xiaotong looked at her brother with a strange face, and moved an inch away from the side where she was sitting.

"You don't... like men, do you?"

"roll!"

Just at this time, the news broadcast started.

In the picture on the screen, there are reports about the upcoming launch mission.

Looking at the picture on the screen, Xiaotong stopped poking his finger on the screen.

"Brother."

"What's wrong?"

"Can we make it?"

Hearing this question, Lu Zhou fell into deep thought, but soon a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's not a question of whether or not."

"It's necessary."

The moon landing project has been going all the way since the beginning of last year, and it has already carried too much hope.

Eagerly awaited by so many eyes.

Never let them down.
