Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 35 Ex-Girlfriend
Subtitle of this chapter: There was once an opportunity before Master Yuan...
But while Master Yuan suppressed the problem of classmate He Lian, another problem arose with the name of my friend Xu Zhimo.
The young man said angrily, "Brother Hongjian, I don't care what you say about democracy, but how can you say that about women?!"
He said bitterly: "I never thought you were so feudal! You are so backward!! You are so Male Chauvinist!!!"
Yuan Yan was a little stunned and a little angry, and turned her head away and said, "How am I feudal? How am I backward? How am I Male Chauvinism???"
Ma Jingtao... um, that's not right. Xu Zhimo poked the manuscript paper with his finger and yelled, "Your book is feudal! Your book is backward!! Your book is Male Chauvinism!"
Zhao Wei... um, no, Yuan Yan suddenly looked at the other person with tears in her big tiger eyes , and said in a crying voice: "How is my book feudal? How is my book backward? How is Male Chauvinism in my book???"
“Knock knock knock…”
It is really easy to increase the word count in Qiong Yao style, but unfortunately the poem was interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Who could this be?
Yuan Yan opened the door and took a quick look. She recognized the identity of the woman standing outside and was greatly surprised. For a moment, the Chinese couple "looked at each other with tears in their eyes and were speechless"...
The woman, who was dressed very fashionably and had a… acceptable appearance, finally spoke: "Yan'er, do you have a guest?"
Master Yuan subconsciously rolled up his tongue and replied, "Bao'er, why are you here?"
Although "Bao'er" is originally from Guangdong, he grew up in Yanjing, so he speaks authentic Beijing dialect.
She snorted softly and said, "Why, I can't come?"
"Haha, how could that be... That's right!" Yuan Yan laughed and said, "Let me introduce two outstanding people to you."
He stepped aside to let the female guest in and said loudly, "Brother, let me introduce you."
The woman's dress was very modern, and when she walked into the room, Xu Zhimo and He Lian felt dazzled.
"This is Mr. He Cuilian from Hunan. He is from Shaoyang County and a great man from Xiangjiang River. He is studying economics at Pompeii College in California."
"This is Mr. Xu from Zhejiang. He is a disciple of Liang Qichao and the brother-in-law of Mr. Li Zhai. He holds a master's degree in political science and economics from Columbia University."
"This is my...um, my schoolmate, Ms. Tang from NYU College of Arts and Sciences."
Xu Zhimo was slightly startled, perhaps recognizing the newcomers. His lips moved slightly but he forced himself to hold back. Even He Lian, who knew nothing about the situation, knew from seeing them like this that they were not just "alumni".
The two gentlemen came to their senses and bowed slightly to Ms. Tang in Chinese etiquette, while Ms. Tang took off her gloves gracefully and stretched out her delicate hand to shake hands with them.
After fulfilling the social etiquette of a gentleman and a lady, the unrestrained female "alumni" looked around curiously, especially at the manuscript on the desk, and suddenly laughed and said, "I didn't believe it when they said you were writing a paper. Now I believe it a little bit."
Yuan Yan scratched and said awkwardly, "I was just messing around. I can't explain to my family if I return home empty-handed. Baoer, why did you come to me..."
At this time, Xu Zhimo and He Lian looked at each other, and the former coughed and said, "Brother Hongjian, how about we say goodbye first..."
"No need!" Before Yuan Yan could say anything, Ms. Tang spoke up to stop her, "I'm here to deliver a letter to Hongjian. I'll leave right away!"
As she spoke, she actually took out a few letters from a bag whose brand even Master Yuan couldn't name, and handed them to Yuan Yanshu.
Although our Master Yuan did not live in the dormitory, his mailing address was still NYU. He had not been there for a week, so naturally he did not receive these letters. However, the reason why such a lady personally delivered them to him was certainly not that simple.
"Then..." Ms. Tang stared into Yan'er's eyes and said, "I'll take my leave first."
"Goodbye... um, go." Yuan Yan, who was sensible, sighed and said helplessly, "Let me see you off."
He apologized to Xu He and the others, put on his coat, and walked out of the room half a step behind MS Tang...
The two of them went downstairs in silence. Just as they were about to walk out of the door of the apartment building, Yuan Yan suddenly heard MS. Tang say softly, "Yan'er, I'm going back to China."
"Ah!" Yuan Yan suddenly paused, stopped walking, and asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you wanted to study for a master's degree in literature?"
This female "alumni" is indeed an alumni of Master Yuan, and she studied at the College of Arts and Sciences of New York University. The so-called Liberal Arts College, also known as Liberal Arts College, is one of the important types of American universities. It pursues liberal arts education, focusing on undergraduate education, and is characterized by focusing on comprehensive education, emphasizing the development of students' thinking potential, and the curriculum covers various categories such as art, humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. It is different from comprehensive universities and various professional schools and technical colleges that focus on employment and research.
Well, it is actually an aristocratic school that is not employment-oriented at all, but specializes in cultivating students' artistic taste and lifestyle. In fact, at that time, women who could go to college basically chose liberal arts colleges. There are seven famous sisters colleges in the United States. For Chinese people, Wellesley College is definitely the most familiar among them, because the three sisters of the Soong family graduated from this school.
However, the College of Arts and Sciences of New York University, which was established in 1832, is not bad either. Its academic reputation and level are even higher than those of the Seven Sisters Colleges. Moreover, it is a non-religious coeducational school with a more open atmosphere.
Ms. Tang also turned around, smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "My family wrote to me last year asking me to go back and get married. I graduated this year, and I can't put it off any longer."
"Bao'er, how about..." Master Yuan offered an idea: "How about asking your brother-in-law to talk to your family."
MS. Tang sighed and said, "You know, my family didn't agree with my fifth sister and brother-in-law's marriage. Now my fifth sister has passed away... Even if he wants to help me, it's useless."
"Then..." Yuan Hongjian had already dug up all of his great-great-uncle's memories about the woman in front of him. Now that he knew the whole story, he was struggling with his conscience. He might as well just elope with this "Bao'er"...
