Chapter 40 Jimmy's Man
Chen Jiaju walked into the coffee shop and glanced at it. The environment was not bad. An old-fashioned phonophono machine on the bar was playing elegant light music. There were not many guests. Basically, most of them were blonde foreigners. Chen Jiaju's entry attracted the attention of guests. After all, Singapore is located in the east. There are too many oriental faces, suits and leather shoes here. Chen Jiaju's dress at this time is very common to them, and it is not abrupt at all.
Chen Jiaju chose a seat with his back to the corner. In fact, he did not do it on purpose. It was just a habit he had developed for many years, which made him habitually choose the best position to deal with emergencies.
As soon as Chen Jiaju sat down, the waiter over there came up. It seems that the service quality of this coffee shop is not bad. There are no dog-blooded plots of contempt for Orientals in film and television works. The waiter politely asked, "Sir, what do you need?"
Chen Jiaju didn't think about it and said directly, "Coffee, thank you!"
The waiter left quickly, and soon the steaming coffee was brought over. Chen Jiaju picked up the coffee cup, closed his eyes, carefully smelled the fragrance of the coffee, and then took a few sips. He secretly said that the coffee was good, authentic Colombian coffee. It seems that the reputation of merchants in this era is not bad.
Chen Jiaju asked the waiter for a newspaper. It's not a big deal to sit here. It's just that the waiter gave him an English newspaper, which made him very depressed. Why, he wanted to bully my brother and couldn't understand it, right? But he didn't let you be happy.
Chen Jiaju naturally understands it. Most of this newspaper is about trivial things in Singapore, but there is still some news about China at home and abroad that arouse his interest.
What activities are commemorating Lenin's death, what is Guangxi doing to fight against Lu Rongting, the conflict between China and Britain over the Tibet issue, etc. Chen Jiaju is looking at it with relish. It turns out that this era is no different from the future generations. There are disputes and wars everywhere.
Chen Jiaju thought that Britain is really a skinny camel bigger than a horse. After the tragic consumption of the First World War, its national strength has been greatly reduced. In this case, it is still so strong in the Far East. Does this also mean how weak China is at this time?
Unconsciously, Chen Jiaju has been in the coffee shop for nearly an hour. While carefully studying the content of the newspaper, he is analyzing the current situation. He understands that whether he is in politics or business, only by mastering the fastest information can he be one step faster and at the forefront of the times.
At this time, the coffee shop entered a sales peak. Chen Jiaju understood that this was the time for the British to drink afternoon tea. Almost all the seats were full. Most of the people who came here were foreigners. They were talking and laughing in twos and threes, or alone like Chen Jiaju. I drank tea and looked at the newspaper. In short, the whole coffee shop was filled with a leisurely smell.
At this time, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open again. A young white man in a suit and leather shoes came in, and the waiter hurried forward to receive it. The young man might not have thought that the coffee shop business was so good at this time, and he wanted to turn around and leave when he saw that there was no seat.
The waiter's eyes were sharp. Seeing that there was only one person in the position of Chen Jiaju, he quickly said to the young man, "If you don't mind, you can squeeze with that gentleman."
The young man seemed not to be in a good mental state and looked tired. He didn't say anything. He nodded and followed the waiter to Chen Jiaju's seat.
The waiter politely told Chen Jiaju about the situation. Of course, Chen Jiaju has no problem. It's okay for two more people to sit on such a big table. The waiter was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, and quickly let the young man sit down.
The young white man said politely to Chen Jiaju, "Thank you very much!"
Chen Jiaju smiled and said, "It's just a piece of work, whatever you want!"
Two strangers sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere must be a little awkward. If ordinary people had checked out and left, Chen Jiaju didn't. He already felt extremely lonely and couldn't wait for someone to accompany him.
Chen Jiaju looked at the young white man in front of him, with curly black hair, blue eyes and big nose. He should be around 30 years old. Chen Jiaju secretly said that this guy seemed to have something in his heart. Looking at his sad face, he seemed to owe him how much money.
The waiter of the coffee shop soon brought up the coffee ordered by the young man. The young man stirred it twice with a small spoon, took a few sips, and quickly frowned between his eyebrows. He didn't care about the extra Chen Jiaju around him. It seemed that the trouble he faced was not small.
Chen Jiaju is curious about this young man. He should be well educated in his behavior and deeds. At this age, he should have come out to break into the world. What kind of problems will make him so selfless?
Chen Jiaju began to be coyed by young people in the same year: "This gentleman seems to be an American, right?"
The young man woke up from deep thought and nodded, "Yes, my name is Jimmy, American. I don't know what to call you, sir?"
Chen Jiaju stretched out his hand and said kindly, "Chen Jiaju, Chinese, just call me Chen."
The two shook hands politely. Chen Jiaju saw that the beginning was good and said, "Sir, is this your first time to Singapore? The climate here is much different from that of the United States."
The young man seemed to feel Chen Jiaju's enthusiasm and said with a strong smile, "It's quite hot here, but I've been here for more than two years, and I'm used to it."
Chen Jiaju deliberately exclaimed, "Oh, I have to say, Jimmy, you are so awesome. You should know that many people are not satisfied with the climate, water and soil here."
Jimmy's depressed mood seemed to be driven by Chen Jiaju. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. My hometown is in Florida, and the climate there is also quite hot."
Chen Jiaju nodded and said, "So it is. By the way, Jimmy, what does Singapore do? Two years is not a short time.
Maybe there are too many aggrieved things in my heart, or maybe it's good to see Chen Jiaju. Jimmy's box can't be closed as soon as he opens. It turns out that this Jimmy is really not good. He is 29 years old this year. He can be said to be a high-end talent. He graduated from the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is a senior engineer majoring in mechanics.
Generally speaking, Jimmy has committed a common problem of technical talents, that is, he is arrogant and his emotional intelligence is too low. Such a level of technology can't stay in several large enterprises in the United States. Finally, he was disheartened and came to Singapore with his friends. A place of bullets.
