Chapter 1206 Lawrence's Remedy
Lawrence's utilitarianism and tricks made Li Mu look down on Harvard a few times.
Now in his eyes, Harvard has lost the halo of what it used to be the world's top university, and replaced it with a familiar smell of copper.
Whether it was Lawrence or James Keane, Harvard became more and more Ishii in Li Mu's heart, like a fancy and tacky dress.
So under the influence of this mentality, Li Mu really doesn't want Su Yingxue to stay here as an exchange student anymore. It's better to be relieved to come back to China.
But Li Mu also knew that with Su Yingxue's personality, what she decided would basically not change her mind. She would definitely not agree to it if she wanted her to give up the exchange student at Harvard and return to China, but she still wanted to try it. Unexpectedly, Su Yingxue was indeed unwilling to do so. 22
After the re-working, Li Mu knew better at taking a good sense than before. Seeing that Su Yingxue was really unwilling to stop exchanging student plans, he stopped and stopped talking about it.
When Xie Huairu came out of the kitchen at this time, the first thing he did was to invite everyone to sit. Since there was no Chinese chef in the restaurant, the dinner was prepared entirely with Western food, and more than ten people were arranged to sit at a super long rectangular dining table.
Before taking the seat, Dong Ai said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, please sit here." After that, he gave up the seat beside Su Yingxue and came to another uninhabited seat.
Since Li Mu sat at the side that was leaning against the side, and there was another Su Yingxue next to him, Lawrence could only sit opposite Li Mu with a thick face, and greeted Xie Huairu with a smile.
Xie Huairu felt a little irritated when he saw Li Mu and Su Yingxue sitting together. He knew in his heart that Li Mu came to Harvard this time and said that he was at the invitation of Lawrence, but in fact, he should have come for Su Yingxue.
During the days when Su Yingxue was at Harvard, Xie Huairu paid a lot of attention to her. Not only was he particularly curious about Su Yingxue, but his sister Xie Yun also kept asking him to pay more attention to Su Yingxue. Although Xie Yun didn't name him and asked him to pay attention to what Su Yingxue was, Xie Huairu knew very well that his sister's needs were just two. One was to make himself do a good job in the intelligence station and keep a guard; the other was to hope that he could study Zhao Ziqiu's competitor for her.
After everyone sat down, the waiter immediately started to serve various meals. The waiter took out several bottles of high-end red wine that Lawrence placed in the restaurant. The waiter poured some red wine for everyone's glasses. Xie Huairu whispered to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, do you say a few words?"
Whether it is the tradition of the East and the West, someone always has to say a few words at the dinner table at the beginning. It is said that this is the territory of Harvard and the home court of Lawrence. Out of politeness and respect, Li Mu has to make a few words polite to Lawrence and let him, the host, say a few words first. However, Li Mu completely skipped him, stood up with a glass of wine, and said to everyone present in Chinese:
"Almost all of us are students and seniors from Renmin University, and there are no outsiders, so I won't say those scenes. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together outside the ocean. I sincerely wish you all the best and hope that you can go smoothly in Harvard's birthday exchange and achieve success in your studies!"
After saying that, Li Mu raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, everyone have a drink!"
All the students at Renmin University were excited and stood up with their glasses in their arms. Xie Huairu was a Chinese. When she heard that she wanted to have a drink together, she stood up subconsciously. Lawrence, who was sitting next to her, looked puzzled, pulled Xie Huairu's neck of the clothes and asked him in a low voice: "Thank you, what are you doing?"
Xie Huairu came to his senses. Li Mu was talking about the students from Renmin University who had a drink together. Why did he stand up and do it? So he hurriedly sat back and whispered in Lawrence's ear: "Li Mu just wanted to have a drink with their students from Renmin University. The customs in Chinese restaurants usually raise their glasses together first."
Lawrence was wondering, American customs are also everyone toasting together to say cheers, why did they even treat Li Mu differently? Cheers to the students of the National People's Congress first?
The students of the National People's Congress were all very excited at this moment. After everyone raised their glasses together, Li Mu smiled and said, "We follow the Chinese rules, three glasses of wine, this is the first glass, and everyone can play freely after three glasses of wine."
Xie Huairu translated in Lawrence's ear: "They have to do this kind of clinking glass three times in a row, and then they can communicate with each other in private and drink."
Lawrence nodded slightly and sighed in his heart. He had really made a move this time, and he really offended Li Mu. Li Mu would leave tomorrow. Before he left, he had to find a way to remedy everything he said, otherwise it would be difficult to find another opportunity.
Li Mu was too lazy to talk to Lawrence at the dinner table. He kept speaking Chinese to the students of the National People's Congress. Not to mention Lawrence, he didn't even pay attention to Xie Huairu.
Lawrence didn't know what Li Mu was saying, but he just kept in mind what Xie Huairu said. After seeing Li Mu raise glasses with other classmates three times, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became even more lively. Everyone soon started chatting with each other, which was quite lively.
Seeing that everyone had a warm exchange and no one paid attention to him, Lawrence hesitated for a while, then he smiled at Li Mu and said, "Mr. Li, I have something to say to everyone, I don't know if it's okay?"
Li Mu looked up at him, and did not respond immediately, but stared at him for more than ten seconds, which made Lawrence feel irritated. Then he turned his head and said to the other students on the table, "Everyone, calm down, Principal Lawrence wants to say a few words to everyone."
Others did not know the conflicts and barriers between Li Mu and Lawrence. As the principal of Harvard, everyone respected Lawrence very much. When they heard that the principal wanted to say a few words, everyone stopped communicating and eating, quietly looked at Lawrence, and waited for him to speak.
Lawrence stood up, held the wine glass and said seriously: "It is the first time that Harvard has been in the process of exchanging students with Renmin University for so many years. You are all outstanding students from Renmin University. Your arrival has impressed me with the spiritual outlook of Renmin University and even the entire Huaxia University students."
