Technological Hegemony

It was rare to have a late sleep. When Luo Jia woke up, the sun was high. Her parents had already bought vegetables from the supermarket, and she also had a morning yoga class on the way.

"Mom, I'm not going to eat at home anymore. I have an appointment with Jiang Lei and the others at Sheshan at noon. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon." Luo Jia said while grabbing a leftover fried dough stick from the kitchen.

"You child, it's not good for your stomach to eat fried dough sticks when it's cold." Mother muttered.

"It's okay, I'm still young."

Luo Jia didn't take it seriously, ate the fried dough sticks in a few bites, and got into his Volvo SUV.

Comrade Luo Ning chased him out of the house, and said to Luo Jia seriously, "Your classmates are all very good, they should graduate soon, it is the critical moment to find a job, if you are useful, You have to help them, don't wait for others to speak."

"Don't worry, they have been working as interns at Huawei for the past two years, and I arranged for them," Luo Jia said.

It was a long distance from downtown to Sheshan, Luo Jia hurried all the way, and finally arrived almost an hour late, but luckily the hotel room had already been booked, Jiang Lei and the others went through the check-in formalities first.

This place is called the Dakeng Hotel. It sounds like a fake name, but it is one of the most popular attractions in Shanghai in recent years.

To put it simply, Sheshan used to have a big pit with a depth of 88 meters. The bottom of the pit was full of water all the year round, and the surrounding area was extremely desolate. It was a good place for murderers to hide their bodies.

Later, Shimao Group built a five-star hotel in Dakengli, which accidentally won an international design award, and quickly became popular, turning it into an amusement park integrating a hotel and a theme park.

Jiang Lei and Nie Xiaodou went to school in Songjiang, which is very close to here and can be reached by taxi for half an hour, so they met at the Dakeng Hotel.

"Sorry sorry, I slept late today, so I'm late."

After knocking on the door, Luo Jia hurriedly apologized to everyone, but saw Ping Yuying sitting on the sofa with some restraint, and when she saw Luo Jia, she hurriedly stood up and bowed to Luo Jia.

"Luo Jiajun!" Hiraba Sakura said politely.

"Hey, Miss Sakura is here, why didn't anyone notify me in advance?"

Luo Jia was quite happy to see this neon little loli again. It has been almost two years since we last met.

"What difference does it make if we inform you or not? Don't tell me you don't welcome our little Yingzi?" said Lu Qiu, the eldest sister.

"How can it be?" Luo Jia quickly explained, "We are all friends, and it's too late to be happy, how can we not welcome them."

"By the way, what time did you arrive?"

"last night."

"Oh, was the trip going well?"

"It's going well. Now there are more and more flights from Tokyo to Shanghai, and the relationship between China and Japan has become closer."

"You don't sound like a scientist, but a diplomat." Luo Jia said with a smile, "It's good that the journey is going well anyway. Are you all hungry? I'm hungry too, let's go eat something first."

Therefore, Luo Jia took everyone to the hotel and had a sumptuous meal, and there were activities in the afternoon, so they didn't drink alcohol, but only drank some juice drinks.

Since it is a hotel in Dakeng, Dakeng must be visited. The so-called theme park is nothing more than that in Luo Jia's opinion, but the suspended glass walkway is quite interesting.

Girls are generally timid, and Nie Xiaodou and Jiang Weilan were so frightened that their faces paled. Lu Qiu from Inner Mongolia and Su Ping from Chongqing showed their true colors and led them slowly along the plank road.

Surprisingly, Ping Yuying walked behind Luo Jia without letting anyone help her, but for some reason, Luo Jia always felt that she seemed to have something on her mind today.

Winter is really not a good season to go out and play, and it was night in a blink of an eye. Everyone ordered wine and food, ate in the room, chatted about the student career that was about to end, and imagined what life would be like after graduation.

After a few glasses of fine wine, Ping Yuying plucked up her courage, stood up and said to Luo Jia: "Luo Jiajun, can we have a few words alone?"

Luo Jia was amazed, stupefied, Gao Feng and Wang Tianwen were already yelling loudly, they couldn't help but push Luo Jia and Ping Yuying to the balcony, and then closed the balcony door with smirks on their faces.

The weather was a bit cold, Luo Jia sniffled, and looked at Little Loli curiously. She was still so thin and reserved, but her Chinese was much more fluent than before, and it was almost impossible to tell that she was a foreigner.

"Luo Jiajun."

"Well, you say."

"Well, I've already graduated, and I'm working at Denso."

"I know about this. An Ran told me that Geely also gave you an offer, but you didn't choose to work in Huaxia and returned to Neon. He felt it was a pity. After all, few girls study electrical engineering, and You are one of the best."

"I'm sorry, I failed my brother's kindness, but I still want to be closer to home."

"Don't be sorry, we all understand."

Hiraba Sakura was silent for a while, and said to Luo Jia in a voice as small as a mosquito, "I want to ask you something."

"What's up?"

"Is it really necessary to fight this car war?"

Ping Yuying raised her head, her eyes met Luo Jia's, and there was a helpless emotion in her tone.

Luo Jia was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect that Ping Yuying would ask such a question.

But then he calmed down again and nodded, "Well, we must fight."

"To what extent?"

Luo Jia thought for a few seconds, "Miss Sakura may lose her job."

The fool could also see Ping Yuying's disappointment at the moment, but she still smiled at Luo Jia and said nothing.

From Hiraba Sakura's eyes, Luo Jia felt the difference from ordinary girls' perseverance.

Returning from the balcony to the warm living room, Hiraba Sakura smiled brightly. She seemed to be a different person, and she took the initiative to toast to everyone, which surprised everyone. She, who has always been cautious, seemed to suddenly let go of herself. Could it be What about being alone with Luo Jia on the balcony just now?

After drinking until midnight, everyone ran to sing again, and the nonsense didn't stop until two o'clock in the morning.

Early the next morning, Nie Xiaodou took a letter and knocked on Luo Jia's door. He lived in a room alone, and Nie Xiaodou lived with Ping Yuying.

"Sakura left, she left a letter for you."

After sitting down, Nie Xiaodou took out the envelope from the pajamas provided by the hotel.

The envelope was fragrant, and there was a line of beautiful characters written on the front.

"Mr. Luo Jia greets you personally."

After tearing open the envelope, it was Hiraha Sakura's short message. After reading it, Luo Jia stuffed the letter back.

"What did she write?" Nie Xiaodou asked curiously.

"See for yourself."

Luo Jia said, and handed the envelope to her. After Nie Xiaodou opened it, he read softly.

"Science has no borders, but scientists have their own motherland."

"Luo Jiajun, thank you for taking care of me all the time. Unfortunately, when we meet again, we will be rivals."

"Please pay attention to the es International Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas on January 5th."

"good luck."

"Sakura, stay on January 3rd."

Nie Xiaodou curled her lips, and muttered: "Xiao Ying is really stubborn, we are all friends, there is no need to be so decisive, right? It seems that the two of you have suddenly become enemies."

Luo Jia smiled, "A girl has a family and a nation in her heart. In fact, I admire her a little bit."

"What's the situation at this es International Consumer Electronics Show? Why did Sakura draw your attention to this show?" Nie Xiaodou muttered, "January 5th, isn't that the day after tomorrow?"
