Chapter 120: University of London
Chapter 120 London University
What she didn’t know was that the “little prince” Qin Jiao was also on the plane to Country R.
"Third brother, isn't our cooperation with Mr. Robert in a week? Why is Fifth Master so anxious?" Qin Shi looked at the black and blue eyes of Qin Jiao and asked Qin Jiu next to him in a low voice.
In order to go ahead of schedule, Mr. Wu also compressed all the subsequent work to be completed in a few days.
Qin Jiu glanced at him sideways, why else? For Miss Yun's sake.
Qin Shi, Qin Jiu, Qin Qi, and Qin Lu, these four people all came out of the orphanage sponsored by the Qin family. When they grew up, Qin Jiao sent them to study everywhere, and naturally they became Qin Jiao's right-hand man.
Except for Qin Jiu who has been following Qin Jiao, the other three people were stationed abroad by Qin Jiao. Qin Shi was the person responsible for taking care of all the affairs of country R.
Qin Jiu said vaguely: "You will know soon."
He didn't know how to bring up Miss Yun's matter, and it was not good to discuss the fifth master's personal affairs behind his back.
Qin Shi was even more confused when he heard this, as if something big had happened without his knowledge.
Qin Jiao’s and Yunsu’s flights landed at London City Airport one after another. At the end of April, the weather in London was still cold and the sky was foggy, which made people feel depressed for no reason.
"Okay, please come this way." Bethel gave a standard gentleman's courtesy and pulled away the school bus. The school badge evolved from the iconic teaching building was shining brightly.
“Why haven’t the people from London City University arrived yet?” Chen Zhirun frowned as he saw the children huddled together in coldness.
“Let’s go.” Let’s do business first, don’t disturb the little girl’s game.
Qin Jiu showed an insightful smile.
Qin Shi followed the fifth master’s gaze and saw a large group of people getting off the plane. Who was the fifth master looking at?
Just as he was about to leave, his phone vibrated. Qin Jiao looked up as if he was feeling something, and happened to see the little girl put her phone back into her pocket.
The location of this IMO competition is the University of London in country R. The University of London is a world-famous university with a history of nearly three hundred years.
“Okay, sorry to trouble you.” Chen Zhirun politely thanked you.
Donton is not as fashionable and prosperous as other international metropolises. It is more like a noble lady, with its own dignified and peaceful beauty.
The city's architecture retains the epitome of each era, and the historical atmosphere exuded through wind, rain, and changes hits your face.
London is an ancient and elegant city, and its historical heritage can be seen everywhere. The world’s earliest subways, telephone booths, etc. all came from here.
Qin Jiao stood in the distance and looked at the little girl who got off the plane and wrapped herself tightly, and suddenly smiled.
Qin Shi muttered: "How come the fifth master's mood suddenly improved?"
“I’m sorry, Teacher Chen, there’s something going on at the school.” The visitor had black hair and blue eyes, spoke with a standard urban accent, and was full of apologies.
Bethle asked them to allocate their own dormitories. The dining hall is only a few minutes' walk from the dormitory. This dormitory building is occupied by participating students. Everyone has a good rest today and the opening ceremony will be held tomorrow.
“If you need anything, you can call me or go to the front desk on the first floor of the dormitory building for consultation.”
"I am Teacher Bethel, and I am responsible for all your affairs except the competition."
"It doesn't matter, let's go." When he first arrived, Chen Zhirun felt uncomfortable facing his host.
He turned on his phone, and a photo of clouds thousands of miles above the sky came into view, and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
They have all arrived at the airport, but the person who came to pick them up has not arrived, and the person in charge has not been connected to the phone.
Yunsu had never been abroad in her previous life. Even though she was mentally prepared, she still didn't expect the climate in London to be so cold. She tried her best to shrink into her clothes and folded her hands in her sleeves.
When Zhirun looked at his watch for the fifth time, the receptionist finally arrived late.
The University of London is located in the Bloomsbury area of the city center. It is about half an hour past the airport. The school bus drove all the way into the school dormitory area. The dormitories they prepared for the students who came to compete were very good, and they were all single rooms. , the room also has a kitchen and separate bathroom.
Besier left with a smile, walked downstairs, and met his colleagues.
“Hi, my dear Bethel, how are you today?” said my colleague gloatingly. No one wanted to do the hard work of receiving students from all over the world, and Bethel was the unlucky one who was drawn by lot.
"What else can we do?" Bethel looked tired, "I just picked up the last group of Chinese students."
A colleague asked curiously: "How is the Huaguo team this year?" Huaguo is recognized as good at mathematics but not good at mathematical thinking. I wonder how this year's contestants are like?
Besier thought about it for a moment. The five students from Hua Guo didn't say much during the whole journey. He hesitated and said: "You are... quite good-looking."
Colleague was speechless, who asked him this?
A tall student with blond hair and blue eyes passed by, heard their conversation, and rolled his eyes.
After Bether left, Yunsu and the others randomly chose the dormitory. Li Yanshuang immediately raised her hand to live next to Yunsu. Finally, it was decided that five students would live in the middle, and Chen Zhirun and Professor Wang would live at one end and one at the end, so that nothing could happen. Get there as soon as possible.
Everyone was a little tired after such a long flight, so they all went back to their rooms and slept for two hours before getting up, feeling refreshed.
“Let’s go, let’s go shopping first and then eat.” Chu Hai was very excited and suggested.
A few people nodded. It was a rare occasion and they didn’t want to just stay in the dormitory.
They unanimously asked the captain to tell Chen Zhirun. Yunsu had no choice but to go and say hello to him. Chen Zhirun agreed. The children's English is very good and nothing should happen to them in school.
“Wow, is this their most famous octagonal building?” Li Yanshuang exclaimed.
The tall and majestic building stood in front of them, and they felt the long years and endless knowledge it carried.
The students around them were walking in a hurry. Occasionally they would glance at them as they passed by. There were many Asian faces among them.
“Are you the Chinese team here to participate in IMO?” a Chinese student asked excitedly after hearing them speaking Chinese. "Yes, senior sister." Li Yanshuang replied quickly.
“I am from Province C, He Shan, an international student majoring in electronic and electrical engineering.”
The senior sister was very kind and introduced herself to several people one by one.
"It's rare to see new Chinese faces. There will be a party at our school's Chinese Federation tonight. Do you have time? We can go and have fun together." He Shan invited her compatriots in a foreign country very enthusiastically.
Everyone looked at Yunsu together, and Yunsu looked at the sky. Their eyes were more expectant than the others. Can she not agree?
“Yes, senior sister, we are happy to participate.”
“Then come with me. You don’t have to go to the cafeteria to eat.” He Shan frowned in disgust, “The Chinese food in the cafeteria is really hard to describe, and it’s the authentic ones made by our Hualian Association.”
Looking at He Shan's expression, Yunsu thought about the food she had brought, and it seemed that it would not be a good idea to attend the party empty-handed.
“Senior sister, please wait for us for a while.”
Yunsu and others ran back to the dormitory and took out the food in their suitcases. Several other people also contributed the food they brought.
“Woo woo woo, chicken feet, duck heads, pig’s trotters, old aunt…” He Shan looked at the pile of food in front of her, and tears of emotion almost flowed from her mouth.
Let alone those authentic braised foods, even the old aunties have been out of stock for a long time. They can't even buy them and can only have them shipped from China.
Looking at the junior students in front of him, He Shan's affection for them reached a new level.
“Follow me!” He Shan waved his hand proudly.
"Why hasn't Ah Shan come yet? Didn't you say she was coming twenty minutes ago?" Xie Lingling looked towards the door.
"Who knows her? Inflate this balloon and stick it on quickly. I'll hang up the decorations over there." Xu Weina was busy with the work at hand.
Everyone has almost arrived, but they haven’t finished decorating yet.
“I’m coming! I’m coming!” He Shan rushed into the auditorium where the party was held.
Xie Lingling glared at her, "Why did you come here! Hey, this is..."
He Shan was followed by several new faces and was looking around curiously. She knew almost all the Chinese people in the school. Who are these?
“Oh, I forgot to introduce, these children are from China to participate in the IMO competition, I invite them to come and play together.”
Xu Weina, who had just finished her work and walked over, her eyes lit up, "Are you from China?"
"Jiangjiang, look! What are these?" He Shan magically took out the food given by Yunsu and the others, "They brought this from China."
Xie Lingling and Xu Weina's eyes were suddenly brighter than the incandescent lights in the auditorium, and they were several degrees more enthusiastic in an instant, "Juniors and juniors, right? Come on, seniors will find a good seat for you. There will be a performance later."
Xie Lingling happily took down the food and put it on the plate.
Xu Weina took them to the middle of the auditorium and said, "You guys can sit here for a while. There is food nearby, so feel free to take it."
“Thank you, senior sister.” Li Yanshuang smiled shyly.
The auditorium is beautifully decorated with colorful balloons and streamers. There are many Chinese pastries and snacks on the dining table next to it. The insulated lunch boxes also contain steaming dishes. It can be seen that the Chinese Federation of this school is very interested in this. We attach great importance to this gathering.
Tonight, almost all the Chinese students from the University of London gathered here, and students from other countries also came to join in the fun.
Yunsu and the others were hungry for a long time, so they directly took the dinner plates to find something to eat.
Several blond and blue-eyed boys were whispering to the side.
“Benson, is this a Chinese-style party?” Bernie looked at the decoration in the auditorium in shock, speaking English with an obvious M-country accent.
They are students from country M who came to participate in the competition, and they also came to the party out of boredom to join in the fun.
“Oh! God! What is this? Why do they put these things on the dining table? It’s so disgusting!” Bernie looked disgusted and turned away, looking disgusted.
He was talking about the chicken feet, duck heads and other braised dishes that Xie Lingling had just put on the dining table.
“Do Chinese people eat these things every day? They are indeed barbarians.” Bernie still looked frightened.
“Bernie, stop talking.” Benson tugged on his sleeve, and the Chinese people next to him looked over with unkind expressions.
"Is there anything that can't be said? I didn't say anything wrong." Facing all kinds of looks, Bernie felt guilty, but he still said firmly.
"Ha." Yunsu, who happened to be passing by, heard a lot of derogatory remarks about Chinese people, and they were all about the food her father had worked so hard to make.
Her expression turned cold, "If we are barbarians, who are you? M countryman, savage, primitive man, or caveman?"
The girl’s English is fluent and pure, without any other accent, and her voice is clear and sweet.
“What did you say?” Bernie was stunned, and then his face turned red. Was he insulted by a Chinese girl?
