【307】Once upon a time
The group got off the car.
Teacher Zhang gave the key to the doorman and was about to pay the tip, but someone refused: "This gentleman has given it."
Wait for the car to drive away.
Lin Yating cleared her throat without any trace and looked at Li Qin: "You... I can't recognize you."
Li Qin is the same.
I had never had any contact with each other. If it weren't for the final episode of the exam, the number of times the two of them would have counted the number of times they talked.
The stranger is stranger, but the memories gradually overlap. In addition, they are from my hometown, and the familiar and close feeling suddenly arises.
"Is this an aunt? Is this a sister? Are you Lin's boyfriend?" Li Qin subconsciously judged his identity.
Lu Cheng, who was originally hostile, almost didn't laugh out loud, and his favor for Li Qin increased greatly: "Hey, I am Yating's high school classmate, Lu Cheng, but I have been studying for a year and am in the senior year at the California School of Architecture."
"This is Aunt Zhang Ke, Aunt Zhang, Lin Xiaomei, and Yafei."
He suddenly brought the role of the only man in the family and began the introduction.
Lin Yating's eyes twitched, and she didn't say much in the end.
Li Qin was a little surprised: "What university is the branch of the California School of Architecture...?"
Lu Cheng was embarrassed: "Ahem, it's the School of Architecture, WASC certified."
Li Qin understood.
WASC is the Western School Certification Association.
For example, the University of Oregon is included in the Northwest Certification Association.
However, since he is not famous, he knows what's going on. 'Being orthodox is not full, above the wild chicken', probably similar to the level of a community university.
During this period.
Zhang Ke was holding his little daughter and also looking at Li Qin.
He was dressed casually, was not very old, and looked very sunny... he didn't seem to look like a liar.
But it might not be possible to say that he has handled the University of Oregon?
And the liars are all ages nowadays.
Only with a sunny temperament has the attribute of confusing others.
"Mr. Li, I am also from our Jiangcheng, and I am from Aida Study Abroad Institution. You should know?" Teacher Zhang introduced himself at this time.
Li Qin nodded and understood that he should be an agent: "I know, I know, I went to your place to see it back then, but your person in charge estimated that I can be admitted to my grades, and I won't bother you later. I still have to thank you."
That’s all.
After the greetings were almost over, Li Qin said sideways: "Let's go in first. The people from the school will have to wait a while because I'm afraid of traffic jams on the road, so I didn't call them too early."
"Check in first."
The group came to the counter.
After they took out their passports, they found that the room card they got turned out to be two presidential condoms.
Li Qin smiled and said, "Lu Cheng and Teacher Zhang live in one room, while Lin and his aunt and sister live in one room, just right."
All of them were a little surprised.
Lin Yating said: "Just call me Yating... But Li Qin, are you too expensive? I will transfer it to you for the room price."
Li Qin quickly stopped him: "Don't, thanks to you back then, I haven't paid back the money. Even if we offset it, don't be polite to me. If my younger sister is satisfied with the University of Oregon, she will have more contact in the future, so there is really no need to be polite."
Several people were a little at a loss.
The price of the presidential set is hung on the wall, four thousand meters a night, equivalent to nearly 30,000 Chinese coins.
Now it can be seen that Li Qin has good financial resources.
Could such a person be a liar?
And his subconscious reaction was even more attracted by Li Qin's words.
Zhang Ke said: "Little Li, can I call you that? You said, can my sister really go to the University of Oregon? Is it very sure?"
It doesn't matter whether it's money or not.
The ultimate goal of this trip is to be able to enter school.
Teacher Zhang's eyes were shocked and he was also staring at Li Qin.
Li Qin scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Actually, I haven't said it yet. I contacted the person in charge of the alumni sponsorship office. She said she would help me find someone from the investment promotion office to ask me and give me a reply in three days, but you are here just the third day."
"So I'd just make an appointment with you, and everyone will have a more direct interview."
The hope that barely emerged seemed to cool down a lot.
Lin Yating smiled and said, "Thank you very much. Whether you succeed or not, there is at least one chance."
Li Qin hmmed: "It's okay, the fate between us is really wonderful, so I should help you with this, don't be polite... Let's go, go to the restaurant first."
Li Qin leads the way.
Others followed.
But Lu Cheng followed: "Hey, Xiao Li, how did you meet Yating?"
Xiao Li?
Li Qin was stunned for a moment...
Are we the same big one?
But he was also unable to complain. It was probably obvious that this was a young man who was good at making money, but his level was far worse than that of Zhang Dashao.
Li Qin slowed down a few steps and was closer to Lin Yating before saying, "We were classmates in the IELTS class. When we finally registered for the exam, I lost the registration fee, which was more than 2,000 yuan, but Lin paid it for me."
"Later, my family came, and I couldn't find her again. I couldn't contact her even if I wanted to. This matter was left alone."
"So a few days ago, I remembered this..."
Having said that.
Li Qin looked at Lin Yating and Zhang Ke: "Student Lin, ah, no, Yating... and Aunt Zhang, I'm sorry for that fact. We really tried hard to find you, but we really couldn't find it at that time."
They could see Li Qin's sincerity.
He was even amused by his reaction.
And, this fate is really...
"So, you haven't contacted each other in the past few years?"
Lin Yating smiled and said, "I added him on WeChat later, but he may have forgotten who I am long ago and never spoke. Just a while ago, he got married and posted on WeChat Moments, and was positioned in Eugene, and I remembered this."
"I called, but her wife answered it. As a result, I didn't speak well. Fortunately, an uncle answered the phone."
"He contacted me the next day, and I teased him and asked him to pay back the money."
When this matter is said, everyone's relationship has suddenly become closer.
I think this is amazing.
When Lu Cheng heard that Li Qin was getting married, he even turned "Xiao Li" into "brother".
Now there is no competitiveness, right?
Arrived at the restaurant.
A group of people had a happy chat.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is one of the four great joys in life.
This sentence has no weight in modern times, but only Chinese people far away in foreign countries understand this feeling.
Before I knew it, two hours passed.
From interesting stories to school, to changes in my hometown in recent years, to Lin Yafei's study, and Lu Cheng's happy life in California, we finally got the topic to be almost done.
Teacher Zhang also had a very happy chat. After all, he was a settled overseas and had the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land.
But when the atmosphere cooled a little, he remembered the serious matter and glanced at his watch-
"Xiao Li, you said you've made an appointment with someone. It's been a long time, right? Why haven't you come yet?"
Everyone was stunned at this time.
They took a look at the time.
"Two hours?" Lin Xiaomei couldn't help blurting out.
Zhang Ke and his sister also stared at him.
Li Qin was embarrassed again and quickly called out: "Hannah, haven't you come yet? Is there something delayed?"
As a result, a beautiful female voice rang out from the other end of the phone—
"It was me, Hannah, who waited for me to finish class before bringing me here."
Hanna's voice came faintly from the side: "Li, you are really irresponsible. To punish you, please treat me to today's meal."
Li Qin really forgot about Retia's time off work when he talked.
I have to praise Hannah for her sophistication in human nature.
Admission to school is a big help.
In addition, this incident made me feel a favor. Even if it was just a small matter, one plus one was greater than two, and it brought the relationship closer.
"Sorry, I was negligent, so I'll wait for you downstairs and drive with caution."
