Chapter 97 Her benefactor
After hearing what she said, Lin Xi looked at Yang Shuyi carefully, and Yang Shuyi also looked at Lin Xi.
Yang Shuyi has very long hair that falls on her shoulders. Her eyebrows are very light and thin, and she has a pair of willow-shaped eyes. These eyes are a bit like Lin Xi's.
The rest of the nose and mouth are not very similar.
Lin Xi smiled at her, "Hello."
Yang Shuyi also said "Hello." Then her eyes fell on Lin Xi's shoes.
The shoes on Lin Xi's feet were also left at home by Song Huaijin. They were soft-soled flat shoes from an international brand with a logo on the toe. Lin Xi didn't care about brands, and since they were comfortable, she wore them directly to school.
After packing her clothes and luggage, Lin Xi looked at the desk.
Her textbooks and toiletries were neatly placed on the desk. Lin Xi couldn't help but look at Li Xiaoqiu with gratitude again.
Li Xiaoqiu smiled with her lips pursed, looking somewhat smug.
After packing up her things, Lin Xi sat down and began to look through the textbook. She had a pen in her hand and a notebook beside her.
Li Xiaoqiu looked around. There were four people in the dormitory, three of them were reading, and she was the only one lying on the bed with her cell phone.
She got up from the bed embarrassedly and sat down at the desk.
The dormitory was very quiet, with only the sound of turning pages.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li Xiaoqiu was the first to stand up. "It's half past five, aren't you hungry? Don't you want to eat?"
Lin Xi then looked at her phone and saw that it was five thirty-five.
She stood up and said, "Why don't you eat? Let's go eat."
She paused and said, "I promised Xiaoqiu that I would treat her to a big meal. Let's all come together."
As a newcomer, she is willing to show her kindness and hopes that her classmates, who are still strangers to her, can feel her kindness.
Chen Qianyu turned around and smiled, "Really? Then I won't be polite."
Lin Xi looked at Yang Shuyi, who had her back to her: "Shuyi, let's go, let's have dinner together."
Yang Shuyi stood up and tucked her hair behind her ears, "Okay."
Chen Qianyu was very lively, "Xiaoqiu, you and Lin Xi are native to Beijing, so you have to take us to eat something unique."
Lin Xi didn’t know what “special” meant. People in Beijing didn’t eat roast duck much these days.
Her family was not well off before, and they rarely ate out, so she didn't know where to find good food.
She thought for a moment and said, "Xiaoqiu, why don't you go—"
"The one you took us to last time?"
Li Xiaoqiu understood that this meant going to her family's hotel.
She nodded, "Okay, I'll call and reserve a table."
Several people got into a taxi and drove to the hotel.
Li Xiaoqiu sat in the passenger seat, and Lin Xi and others sat in the back seat.
Chen Qianyu finally noticed Lin Xi's shoes. "Wow, these shoes are really nice. This is an international brand. They must be expensive, right?"
Lin Xi said "Ah" in confusion, "I don't know, I didn't buy it."
Chen Qianyu slapped his head and said, "I forgot. You are not short of money. You have received so many bonuses and filmed commercials. You must be a billionaire now."
She counted on her fingers, "Let me do the math. When I graduate from college, with this major, I'll either be a teacher or work in a research institute or museum. At best, I'll make a little over 10,000 yuan a month. With benefits, that's about 200,000 yuan a year."
"I would have to work for a hundred years without eating or drinking to save twenty million. One hundred million would take me five hundred years!"
"Can I live for five hundred years? Obviously not!"
She hugged Lin Xi, "Wow, I really envy you."
Yang Shuyi lowered her eyes. What Li Xiaoqiu said was absolutely right. It was so difficult for ordinary people to accumulate wealth.
Not to mention those who have mines at home, those capital tycoons, after making the first pot of gold through various methods, make money like a snowball, more and more, so much that ordinary people can't imagine.
If she studied and worked step by step, her life would probably be similar to what Chen Qianyu described.
Lin Xi smiled and patted Chen Qianyu's shoulder. "Don't be envious. If you learn our trade well, you can easily find a bargain and become rich overnight."
Chen Qianyu immediately became happy. "You're right. After we finish studying courses like the history of ceramics and ancient jade appreciation, I'll go to Panjiayuan every day. Who knows, I might even find a bargain and get rich one day."
Li Xiaoqiu chuckled and turned away, "You're overthinking it. Lin Xi is just teasing you. Is it that easy to find something worthwhile? There aren't many genuine items left in Panjiayuan these days."
"Besides, those antique dealers in Panjiayuan have all been in this business for many years. It's true that they've tasted more salt than you've eaten rice. Don't think you can compete with them after just one or two years of study."
"Be careful or you'll get yourself killed."
After hearing what Li Xiaoqiu said, Chen Qianyu didn't feel disappointed. Instead, she smiled and said, "I was just kidding. I didn't study archaeology to find something good. I really like this."
"My grandfather worked in a museum. Perhaps influenced by him, I've loved looking at old things in museums since I was a child. I could stand and stare at any one thing for an entire morning without moving. I always imagine how their owners once kept them company, how beautiful and brilliant they were, and how they have survived these long years."
Chen Qianyu nudged Lin Xi and said, "What about you? Why did you choose the archaeology major? With your score, you can choose any major from Beijing University to Qingdao University."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "I studied archaeology because I wanted to explore something. There are still many secrets on this planet, such as ancient civilizations. We know too little about them now, and they are all waiting for us to discover and understand."
Chen Qianyu nodded, then glanced at Yang Shuyi. "Shuyi's in a terrible situation. She originally applied for Business Administration, but her score wasn't high enough, so she was transferred to the less popular major of Archaeology."
Yang Shuyi forced a smile and said, "Actually, I think this major is pretty good now."
The mistake she made in filling out her application form was the thing she least wanted to talk about.
She applied for the business administration major because she wanted to become a senior executive in a large company and earn several million dollars a year.
Moreover, I have some secret thoughts of my own.
She has inquired about changing her major and heard that it is difficult. She must be at the top of her major and also take the professional exam in business administration. In other words, she must excel in both majors.
In Kyoto University, where there are so many top students, it is unlikely to happen.
And she had tried her best to get into Kyoto University.
If she hadn't met a noble person in her life, she would never have been able to go to college and would probably have gone to work in a coastal province.
Thinking of that person, Yang Shuyi felt warm in her heart.
They only met once, and he gave her a mobile phone, saying that she could call him if she had any difficulties.
Sometimes, she would chat with him and tell him about her troubles, and every time he could comfort her well.
After arriving in Beijing, she had planned to visit him, but his assistant said he was very busy and had no time to see her.
I'll just have to wait until the weekend to try calling again.
