Chapter 358 The Old Man’s Wisdom
On the plane, Luke asked the flight attendant to take Taj and Roman to visit the world's largest private jet.
He was talking to Brian about work.
Brian complained to Luke helplessly.
"Harris asked me to continue working undercover in the biker gang..."
Luke smiled and raised an eyebrow.
"Haha, what did I say? Three years and three years, how long has it been since you last saw me..."
Brian was helpless.
“No one’s racing with me in Los Angeles anymore.”
Luke looked at Brian with amusement.
"Oh? Where's the sewer ghost?"
"Stop it, Luke, we all know this..."
Luke raised his glass and clinked it with his.
"You are still young..."
Brian also smiled and clinked glasses with him.
"You say that as if you are that old..."
Luke took a sip of his drink and spread his hands.
"But I am three levels higher than you..."
"Fake..."
Brian really couldn't envy this.
He chuckled at Luke.
"Hey, man, although you are three levels higher than me, you have offended the president and have been suspended..."
Luke said indifferently:
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, there is a time limit for him to be president. It's hard to say when he will be president next time."
Indeed, the current president is also busy preparing for his re-election.
Now that the war has begun, I guess the vested interests behind the scenes will continue to let him do what he wants.
But the result...is not certain.
This time he was going back to talk to Old John.
Maybe his classmate should change his office location. (For details, please see Chapter 163. This is Old John's classmate, the governor of Montana)
Just chatted with Bryan for a while, and then Roman and Taj came back.
Roman picked up the wine on the table and poured some for everyone in a familiar manner.
"I wish I could be as rich as you..."
Taiji made up the enemy from the side:
"You can't do that in your lifetime. Do you know how much this plane costs? It's calculated in billions..."
Roman was stunned for a moment, then showed a sad expression.
"Oh, I'd better enjoy this nice bar...let me get drunk in my dreams."
Taiji shrugged.
"That's right, there are all kinds of things in dreams..."
The four of them returned to Los Angeles chatting and laughing.
Luke had just returned to Malibu and spent two days with his little sisters when Mr. Qin called him.
"Luke, you're back in Los Angeles?"
"What's wrong, Grandpa? The fight has already started, so why does it matter if I come back or not?"
"The president is afraid that you will cause trouble again."
“I am very Buddhist now…”
"Dismantling a nuclear bomb is considered Buddhism?"
Luke explained helplessly.
"Isn't this the plea of my miserable old chief?"
The old man smiled on the other end of the phone.
"The president's matter will be resolved, but I need your help on something."
"what's up?"
"An old friend of mine is going to Antarctica to participate in a scientific expedition, but..."
Mr. Qin's old friend is not in good health and has been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
But Mr. Qin felt it was unreliable for him to go to Antarctica while dragging his seriously ill body.
So he asked Luke to take care of his old friend as a doctor.
Luke couldn't help but ask the old man curiously:
"You didn't give him '250 for saving your life'?"
"No, his relationship with us has not yet reached that level of absolute intimacy. But this time..."
What the old man meant was that if he was in poor health, he should be given an injection.
This way, Luke can also gain some connections and favors.
In this way, we can keep this old guy firmly on our side.
Luke couldn't help but admire the old man's idea. He really asked you for help, and in the end you still wanted to be grateful to me...
Luke needs to understand the specific situation personally.
The old man only recommended Luke as a friend.
The next day, Luke contacted the old man's friend, Charles Weiland.
This is one of the giants of global communications companies.
After learning about the information about Weiland Company, Luke finally understood why the old man was so concerned about this guy.
As one of the world's telecommunications network giants, although its business in the United States is not obvious, its global influence is huge.
Especially in South America, Europe, Africa, Southeast Asia and other regions.
Daqin Industry has just started and is still far from being a giant.
But it was exactly what Luke needed.
His new mobile phone and other technological gadgets rely heavily on communications technology.
Once Weiland's business is connected, mobile Internet access will be able to develop rapidly.
The old man also thanked Luke for calling.
Luke was preparing to join Wieland's Antarctic exploration program as a personal doctor.
The elderly welcomed this.
So Luke went to Grandpa Weiland's house as a junior.
Then he saw this old man who looked energetic but could not hide his decadence.
Of course, he also met another person who surprised him, Lena Condrick (see Chapter 29 for details).
Lena is actually the doctor accompanying the team.
But Luke knew that Lena was from Harvard Medical School, and judging by the time, she should have just graduated.
It turned out that he came to the old man to gild his reputation and earn some favors.
After all, Lena's father is the governor of California...
Weiland is the financial sponsor.
Wayland wasn't surprised at all that Lena and Luke knew each other.
But Lena didn't say much in front of Weiland.
Weiland only briefly talked about the time and related matters of the Antarctic exploration.
An assistant will contact them later, and all the equipment needed for the expedition will be prepared for them.
Lena and Luke left the Wayland home together.
After walking out of the manor, Lena looked at Luke with a smile in her eyes.
"When did you become a doctor?"
The identity of this doctor was naturally arranged by Mr. Qin. As for his medical ability, the old man was not worried at all.
A shot of "Save Your Life $250" will almost certainly do the trick.
But Luke actually knows more about medical skills than the old man.
Luke has a high IQ and can learn many things quickly, especially medical knowledge, which is very important on the battlefield.
Since the team didn't have a medic, Luke taught himself when he had some free time.
Luke shrugged and said to Lena:
"I have other degrees, you just don't know about them."
Seeing Luke so confident, Lena believed what Luke said.
"It's getting late, shall we have dinner together?"
Luke originally rejected this rebellious girl who was not clear about her own identity.
But considering that we would have to work together for some time in the future, I accepted Lena's invitation.
Since the girl has brought it up, gentleman Luke shouldn't bother her, right?
He arranged for his own Michelin three-star restaurant to take Lena to a Spanish-style seafood dinner.
During the meal, Lena was curious about Luke's identity.
"I remember you went to the FBI?"
Luke nodded.
“But now he’s suspended.”
Lena was surprised to hear this answer.
Given the strength of Luke's family, how could they suspend Luke?
Could it be that Luke’s family also doesn’t agree to let him go to the FBI?
It has to be said that Lena has now turned Luke into someone of her own kind.
The children of a big family who don't want to be controlled by the family, don't want to accept the family's future arrangements, and want to make a name for themselves...
Luke didn't know what Lena was thinking, otherwise he would have said to her:
"You are definitely overthinking..."
