Xie Yu shook his head: "I haven't been there, I'm just very interested. I think I will go in the future. I learned Chinese in Chinatown, so it's not bad!"
Wu Tianxin: "That's great."
Cantonese-speaking girl: "Senior Carl, your Cantonese is very good, and you really need talent? Are you from the International Language Department? My name is Weng Jingjing, and I came to Skidmore College to study law."
Xie Yu: "I see, it's good to be vigilant. Law is relatively difficult to learn. Are any of your family members engaged in law?"
Weng Jingjing nodded, "Yes!"
Xie Yu immediately understood that during this period, it was generally not easy for those who could do legal work in Hong Kong Island. At this time, those who practiced law and did not restrict business in Hong Kong Island were, to put it harshly, the comprador class.
The little girl with a crooked accent also carefully introduced herself: "Hello, Senior Carl, I am Kuang Mingjie."
Xie Yu: "Hello, I am from the Philosophy Department of the College of Liberal Arts."
Xie Yu could tell that Kuang Mingjie probably had the worst background. He should have been born in an environment that required caution since he was a child, so he had some unconfident character, especially the attitude of Asians towards Europeans and Americans during this period.
Don't watch foreigners, it's not a joke, it's a fact.
It's just a little strange that Xie Yu looks familiar to this little girl!
Xie Yu: "Kang Mingjie, what major did you come to Skidmore College to study?"
Seeing Kuang Mingjie's hesitation, Wu Tianxin said generously: "She is like me. We were sponsored by an Italian magazine and came to Skidmore College to study drama. We will become hosts and actors in the future."
Xie Yu: "Oh, Wu Tianxin, your personality is quite suitable for being a host?"
Wu Tianxin: "Really? Thank you!"
"I am an outstanding student of the Lanyang Dance Troupe. It's just that I grew up too fast, so I listened to my instructor's suggestion and transferred from the dance department of Huagang Art School to the drama department."
"I worked as a part-time model for an Italian magazine and won an award to have the opportunity to study abroad here!"
Kuang Mingjie: "Tianxin, why do you say everything?"
Wu Tianxin: "I think Senior Carl is very good. He understands my language and customs. By the way, I am only the second best. The first is Kuang Mingjie. Senior Carl, please get to know her!"
How do you feel about the kind of foreign teachers in China? Companion reading?
Xie Yu took a closer look at Kuang Mingjie. She looked very familiar. She looked like a fan of Prince Rui from the entertainment industry...a host, a "heroine" who was a sensation in the small film market?
Xie Yu: "Will you start as a host after graduation?"
Wu Tianxin: "Yes, we have a three-year hosting contract and an actor contract..."
Xie Yu: "Well...you guys, thank you for your hard work."
"Everything has a price. At least you can get a study abroad sponsorship now. With this study abroad experience and status, although your work will be hard in the future, it will at least be smoother than ordinary people."
"After a pause, beauty is a resource, we must cherish it."
Hearing this, Weng Jingjing became suspicious: "Mr. Carl, if you have any purpose, I hope you will tell me, otherwise I will suspect that you are committing fraud, and I do not reserve the right to prosecute you!"
Xie Yu: "Well, I hope that through you, your relatives can mail me some Eastern evil-exorcism tools, focusing on the incense ashes from the Mazu Temple!"
Wu Tianxin and others: "Senior, this..."
A little bit unable to bear the look of being looked at as crazy, Xie Yu quickly said: "It's purely a personal hobby, I can pay for it."
Seeing their obvious disbelief and noncommittal expressions, Xie Yu couldn't say anything. After sending them to the international students' dormitory, he left his business card and left.
Just thinking about Hong Kong Island and the economy at this time, Xie Yu went to a financial securities company to open some agency accounts.
Due to the speed of information transmission,
Xie Yu only plans to operate the futures market in Hong Kong Island and Wanwan area first!
Then the school year started, and Xie Yu finally got her Skidmore College student ID card and could go to the library to "scan books."
As for Wu Tianxin, Kuang Mingjie, and Weng Jingjing, they were also admitted successfully.
In particular, Wu Tianxin is very social and good at making friends. Although his Spanish is still loose, he can express accurate meanings in general communication, and he should be able to adapt to this language environment quickly.
It's just that Wu Tianxin's dating target seems to be a "strong" white man, especially one from the school rugby team, who has a strong mentality.
On the other hand, Weng Jingjing is a bit of a "student". She is a frequent visitor to the law book section of the library, and she often discusses the differences between the maritime and mainland legal systems with her seniors!
However, Kuang Mingjie, who rarely spoke at first and had a somewhat introverted personality, slowly started talking to Xie Yu, but the relationship was maintained!
Until she felt that she might be friends with Xie Yu, she finally asked Xie Yu whether it was true or not that Xie Yu wanted oriental utensils and incense ashes from the Mazu Empress Temple that day!
true and false?
Xie Yu directly gave him a beautiful knife, and paid in advance to show his integrity. The children of the poor will be the head of the family early. Kuang Mingjie has several brothers and sisters in his family. His father's children who were captured as young men now live in poor military villages.
She has a deeper understanding of the concept of money. She is actually very envious of Wu Tianxin, who is ranked second. Wu Tianxin's character naturally has family factors.
Wu Tianxin's mother is a dancer and his father is a district councillor. His family is considered upper-middle class in Wanwan.
Of course, the one with a better background is Weng Jingjing. Her family has several "big and strong" businesses in Hong Kong, and she is considered to be the third generation of law and the second generation of rich people. By the way, she has also been an actress in TVB for several years. It can be regarded as satisfying some personal interests.
By late October, two months after enrolling at Skidmore College, Xie Yu had completed scanning the public libraries of various departments in the college, and found no special books containing holy power, which was somewhat disappointing.
After learning that there was another study room that was not open to the public, Xie Yu immediately applied. He learned that the admission requirements were that only those with the title of associate professor in the department were eligible. Feeling depressed, Xie Yu could only try Father Kahn's route. ….
It's just that Father Kahn has to go out for teaching activities, so Xie Yu can only wait "patiently".
At this time, Xie Yu discovered that Wu Tianxin, who was talented in social studies, had already joined the International Students Association. He had only been in America for two months and had basically passed the language barrier. Now he was helping other students.
The existence of some students does set off the mediocrity of most other students. It is true that many students are not qualified to go through the ups and downs of student life such as falling in love, breaking up, fighting, being expelled and so on.
At most, it was speechless and quiet. Years later, I occasionally found the diary from the utility room that I had kept for many years. I smiled after thinking about it, and it was a secret love that I would never see again.
Weng Jingjing continues to be a "student master" and has met her many times in the library, but she is still very wary of Xie Yu, leaving Xie Yu speechless.
On the other hand, classmate Mingjie is more lively. She is already working as a background wall extra in the drama club, and occasionally sees Xie Yu talking about the progress of express delivery.
Finally, focusing on the relationship between Wanwan and America during this period, the international express delivery from Wanwan to America finally arrived after traveling across the ocean for nearly two months.
The result was very disappointing to Xie Yu. They were all fooled. He really thought Xie Yu was an innocent foreigner, but Xie Yu still paid.
Then he doubled the money and made it a point to ask for it to be real, real!
Forget about the exorcism weapon, this peach wood sword nail has no effect on Western-style evil spirits and can only be used as a decoration.
This Mazu Empress Temple incense ashes, when Xie Yu can't tell what is mugwort and elm bark plant ashes?
Xie Yu spoke to Kuang Mingjie in a "very plain" tone, and Kuang Mingjie was also a little embarrassed.
He had no choice but to make an international long distance call immediately. He also learned on the phone that his family had indeed misled Xie Yu, a white man, into thinking he was a fool who did not understand Eastern culture.
I also heard that Xie Yu offered double the price this time, and Kuang Mingjie’s family immediately made various guarantees. At this time, Xie Yu didn’t have a good choice, so he could only “believe it for now”!
On this day, Wu Tianxin gave
Xie Yu called and said that the International Students Student Association was holding a charity event and asked Xie Yu if he could participate on behalf of the people of America.
Xie Yu naturally had no problem. When she arrived at this "charity meeting", she found that the people inside were basically Asians with dark skin and shiny skin. Wu Tianxin's boyfriend was the vice president of the International Students Association and the president of the Asian International Students Association. hosted".
Xie Yu finally understood why Wu Tianxin was able to join the International Students Association so quickly. Regardless of feelings, both internal and external, in addition to ability, there is another thing called "relationship"!
Xie Yu had already looked away from this, but at first, Xie Yu thought Wu Tianxin's boyfriend was a white guy from the school's Olive Tree team. After all, Wu Tianxin's performance was easily misunderstood. .
I never thought that Wu Tianxin would choose an average-looking, thin Asian boy with glasses.
Then, judging from this boy's familiar cliché speech, could it be that he is from a certain political leader's family?
Later, Xie Yu learned that Wu Tianxin's relationship with this boy was indeed due to his father. This boy's father was once Wu Tianxin's father's boss and a leader in the political arena!
At the charity meeting, Xie Yu met Weng Jingjing, who had donated a large sum of money. She was indeed very wealthy. During the chat, she learned that she had now joined an equestrian club.
From Weng Jingjing’s narration, we know that she really understands horses.
Compared with ordinary people, whether they are grazing on the grassland or riding horses, they have always been "aristocratic", even in the modern club model!
Kuang Mingjie was still honest and donated some money symbolically. Xie Yu saw that her main purpose was to enjoy the buffet here, and he also knew that she had also joined a speaking self-help club and was preparing to clear the language barrier as soon as possible.
In this way, Xie Yu also made a donation!
As one of the few participants and donors, Wu Tianxin's boyfriend, as the president, personally poured champagne for Xie Yu and had a friendly exchange!
Although Xie Yu is also a white man and is somewhat close to his girlfriend Wu Tianxin, he is not as wary of Xie Yu as he is to the white men on the rugby team.
After all, in their minds, a short boy will ruin everything if he gets fat.
It was just like this, it was time to go through the process and it was over!
It's just that Wu Tianxin, who has been a little proud in the equestrian club recently, has habitually started to share his riding experience, and he is a bit showing off.
But Xie Yu can not only catch the conversation, but also analyze it further!
Because of the war and the influence of concepts at this time, many Asians were not confident in their own national culture when facing the West.
Wu Tianxin asked Xie Yu for advice. After all, he was invited to open the event, so Xie Yu was very considerate and gave more advice!
In this way, the conversation got a little too much. Wu Tianxin's boyfriend came to interrupt and Xie Yu responded. But now Wu Tianxin seems to be a bit rebellious and asks Xie Yu for advice more and more!
In the end, Xie Yu gave some explanations, but after seeing the "sharp" looks in some people's eyes, Xie Yu left early before the charity meeting was over.
Then, Xie Yu met a few Asian thugs, and with that accent, he immediately understood that this was a move arranged by Wu Tianxin's boyfriend... Xie Yu was very angry. It was not about anything else, but a yellow-skinned banana. It was so incompetent. , lowering the limit, so embarrassing.
He "casually" took care of those three "fools".
Then Xie Yu went to the mainland's embassy in the Big Apple City and directly donated half of his net worth. He was known as an "old friend" to them who were short of foreign exchange, and he felt better!
On the second day of class, Wu Tianxin immediately apologized to Xie Yu and also expressed some "troubles".
Xie Yu understood the gap between fairy tales and reality. Wu Tianxin's choice was to accept reality. As a foreign friend Wu Tianxin met after going abroad, all he did was respect the other person's choice and could only be a listener.
Time is about to enter November, which is Halloween in the West. This Halloween is the same as the Ghost Festival in the East.
On this day, all kinds of "ghosts and monsters" should come out. I remember that Xie Yu encountered many "drunks" last Halloween. They were really drunks, ghosts who drank too much.
this
At best, such ghosts are like "letting go", coming out of hell, and at most they are playing tricks on ordinary people who don't love them.
For them, the exorcist can at best sprinkle some salt on them and drive them away, for just one night anyway.
On this day, various clubs in the school are very traditional and have prepared jack-o'-lanterns and costume parties.
There are many people who wear all kinds of weird makeup and go to the countryside. Xie Yu's "reading club" also holds dances with other school clubs.
After making a selection, Xie Yu chose a "fat" Zorro outfit with a top hat, cape, and eye patch in an 18th-century classical gentleman's outfit. Compared with other students, this one was fairly "normal."
Just because there was no Western-style sword at the moment, Xie Yu took out his silver-plated cane as a substitute!
At the dance, Wu Tianxin dressed up in a princess dress with white shoes, which attracted the liking of some white men. However, Wu Tianxin's boyfriend was there, and there were some quarrels... but the overall impact was not big.
He rescued Kuang Mingjie and accepted Weng Jingjing's invitation to dance a few dances.
The joyful atmosphere applies to both Chinese and foreign parties. No wonder many people are loyal party lovers.
Infected by the atmosphere, although she didn't drink, Xie Yu also drank a lot of "Fat House Happy Water" and prepared to run to the bathroom!
Just after flushing the water, the sudden flash of lights quickly aroused Xie Yu's alert. This doesn't seem like a bad contact!
But thinking about today, I also thought that it might be that ignorant kid who was suddenly free and playing tricks on people again.
